Chapter 52: Full Green Ice Species (Part 2)
"Come down and let me take a look."
His mind was in a daze, but afterwards Ren Liheng suddenly came to his senses and rushed towards Zhou Mingluo, grabbing both of his hands as he spoke, almost snatching the wool from him.
Really didn't get it wrong? Is it really a full green ice kind?
Ren Liheng couldn't believe it, Zhou Ming's luck this week was too good. After being cut twice, the body had already shrunk a lot, and the appearance of the rough and messy fur was surprising enough to still be able to produce green, let alone such top-grade green.
He can't be this lucky, can he?
"Give."
Zhou Ming fell down with an attitude of not caring, but very naturally handed over the raw materials in his hand to Ren Liheng. After Ren Liheng took it, he immediately put it in front of him and began to examine it carefully. On the other side, Wang Fengmang even handed over a very mysterious flashlight, which shone into the greenery with a "pa" sound.
Others quickly gathered around, and it was only after a brief moment that another exclamation of surprise came from the crowd.
"This is really true!"
"It's really a full green ice species! Ah, Zhou Lao Di, your luck is too against the heavens!"
"It's not like that, even in such a waste material, you can open up such a top-notch jadeite, you can directly go buy lottery tickets."
…………
Once confirmed that this is a full green ice species, whether it's Ren Liheng or Wang Fengmang, or even Li Zong, they all spat out with their mouths and threw them to the ground.
Of course, these people were not shocked by the jade worth over a million, they could still afford to take it out and put it away, the problem was that Zhou Ming's luck was too astonishing.
What luck, isn't this what luck is? After all, Zhou Ming's performance from start to finish was so natural. It was his first time coming, his first time playing with the stone, and he didn't rely on any experience at all. To put it bluntly, he relied on luck to muddle through, and as a result, he managed to muddle out this mediocre piece of goods into something extraordinary.
What kind of luck is this?
Just as he was admiring it, a sudden voice rang out, "Zhou, are you selling this jade? If you're willing to sell, I'll give you 2 million for it."
At this, the people around them all changed color, and Zhou Ming Luo even stared straight at him, only to find that it was the refined young man who had come with President Li who had spoken up. The young man handed over a business card in response to Zhou Ming Luo's gaze, smiled slightly, revealing a row of white teeth.
Huang Jingjing.
This business card doesn't look as cool as Wang Fengmang's, it's just an ordinary paper business card, but the design is very heavy. The business card still only has a name and contact information, nothing else. However, the other person's name made Zhou Ming feel slightly stunned - Huang Jingjing, this name sounds feminine no matter how you listen to it, but the other person is actually a real big man.
"Zhou, old brother, sell it to me, I'll give you 21 million."
He had just accepted a business card when another one was handed over, and the other party directly added 1 million.
Fu Song, the one who arrived latest, originally thought Zhou Ming had a bit of a petty bourgeois air about him, but now he didn't think that way at all. In fact, Fu Lao Ban even felt a sense of depression in his heart. Was it necessary to have Zhou Ming's unyielding spirit when gambling on stones in order to be lucky?
Isn't that right, people who play with jade, most of them are cutting here and there, cutting a few knives without seeing green, will give up those rough stones, how many will really smash a piece of rough stone completely to make it?
After cutting two knives, there were three small pieces of wool left. They all thought it was completely useless and felt that Zhou Ming's continued efforts to sharpen the stone for that little bit of wool was a waste of time. Or rather, they thought he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars on entry fees, and was just nitpicking. Who would have thought that he actually managed to drill out a top-quality piece?
Perhaps those discarded wool scraps also hid some extraordinary things, if so, he would be really depressed.
"Haha, Zhou younger brother, this piece of yours is the first one I've cut from this batch of materials. It's a good omen for me to start with your piece. I'll give you 24 million, and take this piece of material off your hands. What do you say?"
As soon as the words fell, Wang Fengmang also joined the battle group.
"Director Wang, you have such a large jewelry store, and you're still concerned about this small piece of ice jade? Brother Zhou, I'll give 26 million." Seeing that there were already three families competing for this piece of jadeite, Li Zong and Ren Liheng who were standing aside also seemed to be tempted, Huang Jingjing suddenly became anxious and spoke out in discontent.
"Right, my Ling Yu Xuan is almost out of stock. Boss Wang, don't follow me around anymore." Fu Song smiled wryly and spoke up, "Zhou younger brother, no matter what you have to help me this time, I'll give 2.7 million."
"Our Taihe Hang may not be small, but top-notch jade is extremely rare. Setting aside those elusive old pit glass varieties or the likes of Emperor Green, this full-green ice variety is a top-grade item indeed! Zhou Laoxiong, I'll give you 28 million." Wang Fengmang chuckled and didn't care about their conversation at all.
What he said is also true, although the Taihe store behind him is not small, and there are stocks of high, medium and low-grade jade jewelry. However, in recent years, due to the continuous mining of jade veins, resources have been continuously reduced, and high-end jade has become increasingly scarce. Even for his Taihe store, although there are still some reserves, this full-green ice species is really too rare.
That's absolutely a top-notch glass species, second only to some of the best ones. Although Zhou Ming Luo's piece isn't big, it's roughly the size of a palm, just enough to make a pendant, but that's still worth selling for 30-40 million.
Of course, that refers to the finished product, which also requires carving and other procedures. Such good jade must be carved by a master-level figure, so the cost is not cheap either. Therefore, at first, no one quoted too high a price.
"I'm out 4 million!"
After Wang Fengmang smiled, Huang Jingjing's face moved slightly, but she still directly added a price of over 10 million, which shocked the other two people and they looked at her in surprise.
Four million? This piece of green ice, even if it's carved into a finished product, would probably sell for around this price. Not to mention labor and taxes, they wouldn't even break even with four million. What about the yellow crystal?
"To be honest with you all, I came here today specifically to pick out a gift. However, I didn't see any top-quality jade at Li's place earlier, and coincidentally heard that Wang has some wool products, so I came over to try my luck. I also hope you can give me some face and sell it to me."
Huang Jingjing smiled faintly, and a hint of determination and confidence seeped into her tone.
This really made Wang Fengmang and Fu Song hesitate, they wanted to buy the jade for profit, but the other party was choosing a gift, this point undoubtedly fell short, because they were always calculating costs and benefits, while the other party could ignore it.
Of course, for the quality of this piece of jadeite, even if they sell it at a loss, it's not impossible. After all, some top-notch jewelry, even if it's sold at a loss, as long as customers know that your store has top-notch jewelry for sale, it will definitely boost sales in an intangible way.
It's worth losing money on this deal because it can bring you fame.
But Huang Jingjing had a determined look on his face, and if they continued to stalemate, it would be hard to avoid some injury and anger. The other side was also willing to spend hundreds of millions without batting an eyelid, so they must have some backing too. Although they might not be afraid, businessmen aren't all about making money through harmony?
"Hehe, then thank you to the few seniors. Today's favor I will remember. Seeing the two people's hesitation, Huang Jingjing smiled again and said to Zhou Mingluo, "Zhou younger brother, how is it? Are you satisfied with the price of 40 million?"
"It's a deal." Zhou Ming also felt happy, 40 million yuan, previously only 600,000 yuan was spent on buying a piece of wool fabric, after unwrapping and reselling it for 40 million, this really made him very satisfied.
With these 40 million, he can almost get that big piece of Malachite too. This small palm-sized one is worth 40 million, and that one is almost as big as a hand.
Although he had long heard that the gambling industry was very exciting, it could make people overnight rich and also make people lose everything in one night, but he didn't expect that when he really participated, getting rich would come so quickly.
