Chapter 39: A Raw Gem Worth Three Hundred Million

  As for this, Tang Zheng had no interest whatsoever, and as for the doorway inside, he was completely clueless.

  Listen to Li Chunyu's introduction. The original stone here is worth tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions. This is not something that can be played with by oneself. As for these, Tang Zheng still has a sense of self-awareness. He smiled and said: "Good, if I see one I like later, I will definitely not be polite to Brother Chun."

  "What a godly thing, it's actually just a stimulation, a fairness. It's completely satisfying his despicable vanity. This thing is typically a ten-to-one loser." Next to him, Xiao Qiankun curled his lips in disdain and struck Li Chunyu with all his might.

  Li Chunyu is the number one young master in Beijing, but that doesn't mean everyone in Beijing is afraid of him. The Li family is a wealthy and influential family, after all. Everything has its own reason. In fact, Li Chunyu's relationship with Xiao Qiankun and his group is still quite good.

  As for Qin Lang? Forget it. If it were Qin Tian, Qin Lang's older brother, that would be acceptable. But Qin Lang is far from it.

  "What's your hobby, betting on rocks? It's all about the thrill, that mindset. The joy of winning. Losing is just about money. I'm much better than you. Your car racing is completely reckless. What right do you have to criticize me? Who's cooler, who's waiting to go? Don't be awkward in front of me." Li Chunyu retorted mercilessly.

  Walking inside, it is a large factory house converted. With a height of two floors, the empty space makes the whole area look very spacious.

  It stretches forward for over a hundred meters. It is divided into five rows. Two passageways are left in the middle. On both sides, there are piles of stones. Large ones, as high as one or two meters. Weighing several tons or more. Small ones, even as small as a fist.

  On both sides of the aisle, stainless steel railings are installed. In the middle, there is no area. According to the size, quality, and appearance of the original stone, or the difference in the pit mouth, it is divided into individual squares. On the side, prices are marked. The cheapest one costs over 100 yuan per kilogram. The most expensive one is also calculated in units of ten thousand.

  At the end of the factory, an area was isolated. An iron staircase went up. Up there, it's estimated that this is where the financial office and other offices are located. Down below, it was divided into several areas, which were specifically used for cutting stones.

  As soon as he entered, Li Chunyu's demeanor changed. He was like a fish in water, carefree and content. From time to time, he would shine the high-intensity flashlight he got from Old Zhou on the rocks. Sometimes, he even climbed over the railing to carefully examine the rocks.

  "Kun Ge, Chun Ge, what's going on here? What can be seen from this?" Tang Zheng was curious for the first time coming to such a place.

  Xiao Qiankun was uninterested in gambling on stones. He sneered, "What's the point of looking at them? They all say that even gods can't tell the quality of jade just by looking at it. If Li Chunyu could really see something special, he wouldn't have lost nine out of ten bets. All this nonsense about 'masse' and 'green stripes' is just to cheat people. This thing, it's all about luck. When you're lucky, even a piece of crap can be cut into a beautiful jade."

  "Xiao Qiankun, don't be so arrogant. Although it's said that even gods can't cut a jade inch short, there's still knowledge to be gained. Otherwise, how come you couldn't pick out a piece of grass and cut out glass from it?" At this time, Li Chunyu was very quick and agile, jumping over from the railing.

  He patted the dust off his hands. Li Chunyu pointed ahead and said, "Let's go take a look at the stone cutter. Let Tang brother experience for himself what it means to be in heaven with one knife stroke and hell with another."

  At the end of the factory building. The entire lower part is empty. At this moment, a stone cutter on this side in the middle has already gathered many people.

  "Boss Hong. Next, how would you like me to cut it?" The stone cutter stopped his work after cutting one side and asked for instructions.

  Looking ahead, on the stone platform, there was a boulder about the size of a high-pressure cooker, with three sides already cut open. The cutting surface had no green color at all, just an ordinary stone. Looking at this situation, it seemed that there was no hope left.

  "What a pity. This stone is performing so well, I didn't expect it to be a red lacquer toilet." A middle-aged man next to him said with regret.

  "Director Qian, red lacquer horse bucket? What did you say?"

  "What's the use of a red-painted toilet? It looks good on the outside, but isn't it still just shit and piss inside? This time Old Hong really made a mistake. He invested all his family's assets. 2 million! What a huge loss." Qian Zong seemed to be speaking with some trepidation.

  "That's it, Old Qian. This time, Old Hong has taken your place in death. Otherwise, the one standing up there now would be you." Beside him, another middle-aged man also spoke with some emotion.

  "Cut, cut it from the middle." On the stone platform, Old Hong's face was extremely solemn and serious. He shouted directly.

  As soon as this sentence came out, the people around him were already sighing. Things had reached this point, and basically, it was already a broken vase. This was a complete loss of confidence in the stone. Cutting the stone usually starts from the edge. In this way, the integrity of the jade can be maximized. Now, Old Hong arranged it like this, obviously preparing for the final blow.

  The noise of cutting stone is still very loud. With a crunch, the stone was cut open from the middle. Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "It's rising, it's rising big! Look at the water head, look at this fog color, at least it's glass seedlings. If it's full green, then we'll make a lot of money."

  "With this much malachite, of this size, you can make at least four bracelets, and a good number of pendants and earrings. The profit is substantial. As long as it's bright green, you'll make a pretty penny." Old Qian's eyes showed a hint of envy.

  This is a typical one knife to live, one knife to die. Just now, I was still sympathizing with Old Hong. Now, I'm admiring him. At this moment, Old Hong's face also revealed an expression of wild joy. Rolling up his sleeves, he walked forward and said: "Next, I'll take care of it."

  Rub is a term in jade gambling, also known as rubbing stone. Generally, after the green comes out, in order to ensure that the jade is not damaged, this method will be used.

  Half an hour passed, and the stone had begun to reveal its general appearance. In the middle of the stone, there was an elliptical shape with a diameter of about 15 centimeters. The exposed green color gave people a sense of wonder and excitement. It was crystal clear and the green color was very rich. Around them, many people gasped in surprise: "The glass is full of green! This time, Old Hong has succeeded."

  "Six million, Old Hong, give it to me."

  "Xiao Wang, you're also quite bold. Such a good jade, and it's only worth 8 million? Old Hong, we've been friends for many years now. You should know what kind of person I am."

  "One hundred and twenty million, sold to me. Not fully open yet. Look at this trend. Even if it's fully open, the difference won't be much. How about it? No problem, you can choose either a check or a transfer." At this time, Li Chunyu spoke up.

  This price is indeed the most reasonable. It has increased by 40 million at once. Moreover, it has taken into account the subsequent situation. At this price, even if the jewelry company gets it in hand, there won't be much profit left.

  Old Hong nodded and said, "Alright. Let's do it according to the boss's idea. Transfer the money. I'm not very familiar with cash checks."

  A group of people arrived at Old Zhou's office on the second floor. Li Chunyu was very straightforward, took out a card, and transferred the money. After that, Lao Hong left. The two million yuan won from gambling turned into twelve million in an instant.

  At this moment, Old Zhou smiled and said: "Spring Young Master, I have a big one here. I don't know if you're interested or not. This time, it was transported together with the Pa Gang old pit. It weighs over three tons and is two meters high, all jade."

  Boss Zhou was impulsive when purchasing the goods. This stone looks good, but... Zhonghai is not a professional market for gambling on stones after all. Small ones worth one or two million are still okay, but this big one is not that great. After bringing it back, Boss Zhou regretted it.

  This time, seeing Li Chunyu, Old Zhou had an idea. Such a big hand can only be played by Li Chunyu, this kind of young master who doesn't take money seriously.

  Li Chunyu listened and seemed to be somewhat moved. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's go take a look."

  At this price, the stone would not be placed here by Old Zhou. Under Old Zhou's leadership, from the first floor on this side, an iron door was opened. Inside, there is a space of about 50 meters in length. This side is Old Zhou's exclusive warehouse. In the middle section, a stone stands upright beside it, with a height of two meters and a width of about one meter. The surface of the stone has patterns like a python's scales.

  As soon as he saw the stone, Li Chunyu also nodded in satisfaction. This stone was just like what Old Zhou had said. It performed too well. The python pattern was clear, and the entire surface couldn't find any place with defects. Plus it came from the old pit of Pa Gang, indeed having a great possibility of coming out green.

  "Lao Zhou, we're not strangers either. Name a price." Li Chunyu was very direct.

  On this side, Mr. Zhou's face also showed a joyful expression. Such a stone, pressed in one's own hand, is also a big trouble.

  He nodded and said, "Spring Shao, I won't haggle over the price. This stone, I bought it for 20 million. It was transported from Pa Gang Old Pit, plus labor costs and fees for getting through customs, adding up to around 40 million or so. Since you want it, Spring Shao, just give me a token price. This big stone has been weighing on me here, if you can take it, that would be a great help to me."

  Can't help but say that Boss Zhou's words are extremely high-level, watertight. Fully reflects his eight-sided cleverness.

  Li Chunyu nodded after a moment of contemplation, "Alright, Old Zhou, you've managed to squeeze me. This way, I won't let you lose out either. 30 million. What do you think?"

  Thanks for the crazy reward from ** series and 514211763; thanks to the three brothers' rewards; thanks for the deep temptation of your brother's evaluation vote.
