When he arrived at the Antique Street, Li Qingyun's first stop was at Nishizhai, where he found the owner Wu Zhongxing and asked him if he had any good-quality rough jade recently.
Wu Zhongxing was deeply impressed by Li Qingyun. He still remembered his magical method of identifying rough stones with his hands. When he saw him coming in, he asked about the rough jade stones. He was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, in fact, the investment in rough jade stones is not very big anymore."
To make money, I wonder if you are interested in investing in jade?"
As he spoke, he pointed to several stone furnishings in the room and introduced: "These are jadeite stones that were photographed in our store. Since they are of moderate size and look good, they are temporarily placed in my office. However,
You can’t be sure whether there is jade in this kind of rough stone, and you need a very strong ability to identify it. What do you think, are you interested in taking a gamble?"
Li Qingyun has been reading up on jade and jade-related knowledge on the Internet recently. When he heard Boss Wu's words, he immediately smiled bitterly and said: "When it comes to jade, I can still play with it, but when it comes to jade, I can't afford it.
, don’t have the financial resources.”
"Mr. Li's words are wrong. Not all raw jade stones are of high price. For example, this piece weighs about 90 kilograms. When our store bought it, it only cost more than 200,000 yuan. The one next to it only cost 30,000 yuan.
It weighs more than ten kilograms, and when we photographed it in our store, it cost more than two million yuan. This depends on the condition of the edges and the exposed color."
"When I first entered the industry, I participated in Myanmar stone gambling for the first time. I met a senior expert who spent hundreds of thousands to buy an inconspicuous small stone. It had a dark appearance and no green lines at all, but all stones turned out to be...
Imperial Green, he made tens of millions from that stone, and that’s when I became obsessed with gambling on stones.”
"One sword makes you poor, another makes you rich, and one sword cuts through linen. This is the charm of the stone gambling world. Half of the reason why my stubborn stone shop has established itself in the provincial capital is because of my reputation for stone gambling. If Mr. Li has
If you have spare money, why not come with me to Myanmar? Let’s work together to get an admission certificate this year, and we can share the profits as dividends based on the shares.”
Li Qingyun heard it at this time. No wonder Boss Wu repeatedly invited him to join the stone gambling industry. It turned out that he had insufficient funds and wanted to lure him into buying shares. Let’s not talk about the risks of stone gambling. He was not familiar with Wu Zhongxing.
, how could you partner up with him to gamble on stones? Judging from the last time we did business, this Wu Zhongxing was not an honest person. There were many fake jade stones mixed in with the original jade stones.
"Oh? I wonder how much this admission certificate costs?" Li Qingyun was not in a hurry to refuse. After all, he wanted to buy cheap jade rough stones from him. As he spoke, he walked to the jadeite rough stones and used
Touch it with your hands a few times.
Li Qingyun couldn't tell anything based on the appearance and feel of the original stones. There were seven pieces of jadeite in total, large and small. Some had green in the gaps, some were completely black without any green, and there were also brown speckled ones. Take a closer look.
There is actually a price tag, which is not too expensive. The smallest stone is priced at 1 million, and the other stones are priced at more than 1 million, and some are priced at more than 2 million. The largest gray stone is priced at 3 million.
integer.
A flash of change flashed in Wu Zhongxing's eyes, and he continued to say politely: "It's not much. This year's admission certificate costs 20 million US dollars, which is twice as much as last year. This caught me off guard. If not
I bought too much material and didn’t have time to sell it, so I won’t have trouble with this small amount of money.”
"You should have heard of it. Our Nishizhai has branches in Beijing and Shanghai. I just like our environment in Sichuan, so I stay here. If I have enough time, I will definitely be able to collect the money. Now
Myanmar has given a short notice that this year’s jade stone gambling event will be held next month, and it will be too late even to apply for a loan.”
Li Qingyun weighed the smallest piece of jadeite and said with a smile: "Boss Wu's business must be very big, but do you think I, a person who plays with broken jade materials, am qualified to join your business? I have these hundreds of dollars in my hands.
Wan, I can't catch your eye. Why don't you take out the better jade rough stones, and if I think the price is right, I will hand the money into your hands at once, so that everyone can rest assured."
"Haha, if you can afford to spend millions to play with jade scraps, your net worth should be tens of millions, right? If Mr. Li is interested in joining, I, Wu Zhongxing, will naturally welcome him. If he is not interested, I will not force him. Moreover, the partners I invite
You are not the only one. If you want to raise enough money for the admission certificate in a short time, you will probably need to find more than ten partners. Oh... just wait, I will call the warehouse and ask them to send more jade.
The rough stones are here for you to choose from." With that said, Wu Zhongju picked up the phone on the table and started calling the warehouse.
And Li Qingyun put down the jadeite rough stone and used the method of identifying jade, but he did not feel the warmth from the old injury on his hand. These jadeite rough stones all had the same feeling, there was no special reaction. Li Qingyun did not believe that Wu Zhongxing had such good eyesight.
Unfortunately, none of the rough stones that I photographed contained jadeite, so with a thought, I instantly entered the small space, and then let my spirit body leak out of the small space and enter the jadeite material in my hand.
This was the first time Li Qingyun tried to do this. He felt that his vision went dark, as if he had entered a dark world. It was very difficult for his spirit body to move. But when he got into the middle, he suddenly felt a crystal clear feeling. With a light movement, his spirit body entered that place.
Among the objects with crystal clear edges, I no longer feel dark and tired.
The crystal object is only the size of a fist. Although it is closely connected with the stone outside, the materials are completely different. It gives the spirit a very special feeling, as if it contains a lot of spiritual power. The spirit staying inside feels like bathing in a spiritual spring.
Same as in the serum.
Li Qingyun's heart moved and he guessed that this fist-sized object might be jade. Originally, he was not sure whether jade was useful in small spaces, but through the feeling of his spiritual body, he seemed to have a strong desire for jade.
The spirit body came out of the jade stone and entered another piece. There was nothing in this piece, not even a place where the spirit body could feel comfortable. I tried three or four pieces in a row, but found nothing. Li Qingyun was sweating slightly on his forehead.
, the spirit body cannot leave the body for too long, this is the reason for his effort.
When I tried the last and largest rough stone, it seemed that as soon as the spirit body entered, it was sucked in by a majestic energy. It was full of green life energy, which made the exhausted spirit body extremely excited and turned over several times.
Somersaulted, never leaving this vibrant area.
Li Qingyun was ecstatic in his heart. Except for the outermost layer of gray rock skin, this huge piece of raw jadeite was actually all jadeite, with only a small amount of impurities isolated. If it were cut out, it would definitely be sold for a lot of money.
There are only more than 5 million yuan on his card now, of which 2 million yuan was paid by Gao Qiang for his medical treatment, of which more than 3 million yuan was money from selling vegetables. Since the watermelon garden is about to close, there is still the last batch of small watermelons, Fumanlou has no money
Fruits and melons are available for purchase, and Li Qingyun's income has been greatly reduced. The fruits have recently been put on the market and have not yet been officially mined. He is also waiting for this money to help him.
According to Wu Zhongxing, these raw jade stones are intended to be sold for money.
Li Qingyun wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned in a circle, and seemed to look at the furnishings in Wu Zhongxing's office casually. If this huge piece of jadeite was cut out, it should be able to alleviate the money shortage in his hands, because he remembered that the display cabinet in the jewelry hall
Here, an ordinary small jade pendant sells for tens of thousands of yuan. I don’t know how many similar small jade pendants this large piece can be cut into...
Wu Zhongxing’s call was still not finished: “…Yes, bring over some high-quality jade raw materials from the bottom of the warehouse. You should remember this customer. Last time he came to our Nishizhai and took us wrong.
I have picked out a few fake stones, and yes, that’s right, it’s Mr. Li. Okay, after you’ve found everything, bring it to my office as quickly as possible.”
While Wu Zhongxing was on the phone, he didn't forget to observe Li Qingyun. He saw him groping around on a few jadeite stones. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he joked: "If Mr. Li is interested, you can show me here."
Let’s buy a few rough stones! Haha, the price above is the price listed in my store. If Mr. Li sincerely wants it, I can give you a suitable discount and only add some hard work fees.”
"Don't be busy now. When I finish selecting the jade material, if I have extra spare money, I will consider whether to buy it or not." Li Qingyun didn't even look at the rough stone he just selected. He sat back on the chair and took a sip of tea.
Not long after, the person in charge of warehouse management and several security guards entered Wu Zhongxing's office with some difficulty, carrying several boxes. The security guard put down his things and stood at the door. Only the person in charge of the warehouse stayed and greeted Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun responded and directly selected jade fragments. Larger whole jade was not required. Ordinary jade is called nephrite and jadeite is called jade. The bigger the piece, the more valuable it is and can be used to make large objects, while ordinary small fragments
, can only make pendants, and can even be called scraps.
Li Qingyun pretended to pick some, which were similar to the ones he picked last time. He estimated that it should be more than one million, leaving enough money to buy the rough stone containing the large jadeite.
"Well, let's take this for now. Boss Wu, please help me estimate the price." Li Qingyun handed the selected items to Wu Zhongxing.
Wu Zhongxing made a rough estimate and asked for 1.6 million. He said that there were some top-quality materials, including Hetian jade, so the price this time was a bit high. He also said that these top-quality materials had high collection value. If he was not an old customer,
He wouldn't let the warehouse manager take it out.
Li Qingyun smiled and said it didn't matter, then pointed to the row of jadeite rough stones and asked: "How do you sell these things? The price marked above is a bit exaggerated. After all, none of these rough stones are plaster green?"
Wu Zhongxing smiled and said: "Haha, you can't say that. No matter what it looks like outside, these rough stones are authentic Laokeng rough stones, and the chance of finding jadeite is very high. You are also a regular customer, and I am also anxious to spend money. Let's
Not to mention making a fool of myself, I’ll give you 20% off the price listed above. Whichever piece you want, just move it away.”
