Chapter 97 Crazy Stone (Three)
The boss Wang shook his head and said, "No way, if it could be cheaper, I would have sold this wool long ago. And after a while, if this stone can't be sold out, I will dismantle it myself."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen and the others were speechless. This boss Wang was probably raising the price so high because he himself liked this piece of vicu?a wool fabric.
Wen Yuting saw that Old Wang was so determined, and she was also at a loss. She didn't want to give up the fabric, but she couldn't afford to buy it either. The thought of spending 10,000 yuan made her hesitant, and she found herself in a dilemma, unable to choose between two undesirable options.
Chu Chen sighed inwardly, forget it, for the sake of friendship, he would use his precious ability once. So he asked Wen Yuting to bring over the wool samples, pretending to examine them carefully while actually using his ability. However, he didn't expect the results from his ability to be so good that it even moved him a little.
Of course, Chu Chen would not stoop to fighting with his friends over the woolen fabric. However, if he wanted to persuade Wen Yuting to buy it, he needed a clever approach. Seeing Li Guodong standing aside, he suddenly had an idea and said: "Since you can't bear to part with it, why don't let Li Guo help you out?"
Li Guodong listened to Chu Chen and suddenly understood what he should do. However, he also felt a bit regretful in his heart, wondering why he hadn't thought of this idea earlier. He hastily said: "Right, Yu Ting, how about we split it half and half?"
Li Guodong didn't want to contribute more, also because he knew that Wen Yuting was a proud person. If they each contributed half, it would be fine, but if he contributed more, it might backfire.
"Hum, I don't want to!"
Even if it's just half a person, Wen Yuting also didn't want to agree.
However, Li Guodong heard that her tone was not so firm, and suddenly knew there was a chance. He immediately coaxed her on one side, and later added the persuasion of Chu Chuan and Chu Yulan on the other side. In the end, Wen Yuting finally agreed.
"Alright, I'll go back and answer, but this piece of cloth is being counted as mine, don't try to cheat me later!"
Unexpectedly, she still remembered the competition, which made Li Guodong somewhat cry and laugh, and replied: "Okay okay, I won't cheat in a while, otherwise I'm a puppy."
Although she bought a piece of wool, Wen Yuting was still not satisfied. In her words, Auntie had prepared so much beforehand, how could one piece of wool be enough? Chu Chen smiled and went along with it, after all, the money earned from that piece of wool should be much more than what she brought.
Mr. Xu bid farewell to Chu Chen and others, went to watch the stone unsealing on the side. Before leaving, he also gave everyone his business card and told them that if they had good jade, they could contact him, and the price would be fair.
Chu Chen readily agreed, although he also planned to do jade finished products business in the future. However, getting to know people like Mr. Xu at critical moments can still be mutually beneficial. Moreover, since he is currently in the stage of accumulating funds, it is even more necessary to get to know people like Mr. Xu.
Moreover, this Mr. Xu is a native of Zhejiang Province, and people from Zhejiang are famous for being good at doing business and making connections, which can be very beneficial for business. What's more, Mr. Xu's company is located in Changhua, so maybe one day when I go to buy chicken blood stone, I'll have to trouble him.
Thinking of Chi Xue Shi, Chu Chen said to Chu Yu Lan: "Xiao Lan, I'm really sorry for the past few days. I didn't help you find suitable Tian Huang Zhang material?"
Because of the tight schedule, Chu Xun had found a suitable Tian Huang Zhang material through connections, but due to its good quality, the price was not affordable for Chu Yulan, so she could only give her the chicken bloodstone seal material.
Chu Yu Lan smiled sweetly and said, "It's okay, I also know that the time is too tight. Besides, wanting to buy top-notch Tian Huang at a bargain price is not that easy, but Chu Ge, you owe me a piece of high-quality Tian Huang seal material now!"
"It's okay, no problem."
Chu Chen didn't hesitate and agreed, for him, as long as the time was sufficient, it would be relatively easy to get a good Tian Huang seal material at a cheap price.
Next, everyone began to carefully select the wool. As his special ability continued to grow, Chu Chen's current treasure awareness, even if it was jade, had a sensing distance of half a meter now, making the selection of wool much more convenient than before.
Furthermore, Chu Chen's reaction was even more agile. He only quickly scanned the stall with his eyes a few times, and the wool on this stall had been roughly screened by him. The result was also quite pleasing, and more than 60% of the wool triggered Bao Jue's reaction.
This scene made Chu Chen suddenly excited, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this trip was really worthwhile.
However, the numerous fabrics that made Baojue react also made Chuyan quite troublesome. Baojue had one shortcoming: although he wouldn't react to things worth only a few dollars, he would definitely react to things worth tens or hundreds of dollars. This undoubtedly increased the chances of his ability being wasted.
"Ah, it would be great if this treasure could filter out those who shouldn't have it!"
Thinking of this, Chu Chen shook his head and gave up. It's useless to think too much, so he carefully selected the fabric instead.
"Really? Is this okay?"
Before he could even act, a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind. It turned out that the Treasure Awareness actually had a filtering function, but it could only filter up to items worth around 1,000 yuan at most. Moreover, this function required a 10% progress cost to activate.
Ten percent, that is ten million, although it makes Chu Chen a bit painful, it seems to delay the progress of the anomaly upgrade. In fact, if Bao Jue has a filtering function, the utilization rate of anomalies will undoubtedly increase a lot. Calculated this way, not only did it not delay the progress of the anomaly upgrade, but it actually accelerated it quite a bit.
Moreover, this way, Baojue's role in the gamble has greatly increased. To put it bluntly, even if Baojue is used to select only 100-yuan worth of wool, one day he will become a rich man. Of course, if Chuchen really does this, he may be discovered by others and live a miserable life.
Baojue's upgrade was quite fast, Chu Chen just felt dizzy for a moment, and the upgrade was successful.
Chu Chen muttered to himself for a moment, and the screening level was instantly adjusted to thousands of yuan. After re-examining the wool samples, most of the ones that had reacted earlier were instantly filtered out.
This couldn't help but make Chu Chen slightly disappointed, originally thinking that the wool on Teng Chong's side would be a bit better, didn't expect it to be not much different after all, no wonder many people only look but don't buy, from the screening results, this also makes sense.
After this screening by Baojue, Chu Chen's speed in selecting wool fabrics has undoubtedly accelerated a lot, but there are also dozens of wool fabrics worth over 1,000 yuan, which is still a challenge for him. There was no way out, and the special ability now only had four times left, so he relied on what he had learned to select a few pieces of wool fabric that he thought were relatively easy to gamble with.
Maybe today is a good luck, Chu Chen didn't expect that the first piece of wool he picked would be a great start.
This is a piece of yellow salt sand sheepskin with a weight of about 20 kilograms. The fleece of this skin is all mountain stone and the yield is rich, almost every field has yellow salt sand sheepskin, so it's hard to identify specific fields. The appearance of yellow salt sand sheepskin is that the yellow epidermis turns out yellow sand grains, which is a high-end product in yellow sand sheepskin.
Chu Chen selected this piece of yellow salt sand skin surface layer, the sand grains seem to be standing up, feel like lychee shell. Generally, if a stone has this kind of performance, it means that the stone is good. In fact, for ordinary people, the size of the sand grains on the surface of this yellow salt sand skin is not so important, as long as it looks even, it's okay.
If the sand grains are uneven in size, even if there is jade inside the stone, it will generally be of poor quality. Also, if the skin of Huangyan sand skin is tight and smooth, most varieties are also poor.
Since it's a top-notch Huang Yansha Pelt with high-end Jadeite fur, and there's also a decent Pine Flower on this piece of fur, the price naturally wouldn't be cheap. The boss directly quoted 500,000.
Although this wool is good and the result of its ability is very pleasing, if Chu Xuan spends 500,000 yuan to buy it, then he will definitely be a big fool. So he spoke up: "Boss Wang, your wool is indeed worth 500,000 yuan, but that's ten years later."
"Alright then, give me a price, but don't go too low or we might as well forget it," said Wang with a chuckle.
Seeing Mr. Wang's calm and collected demeanor, Chu Chen also knew that the price couldn't be lowered any further based on the quality of the goods.
"Boss Wang, if you're really willing to sell, I'll give you a fair price, 2 million."
"Haha, 2 million is impossible, I couldn't even get it myself. If you're sincere, 4.5 million."
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Four hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand, if not, then forget it."
"Boss Wang, let's each give in a bit. How about 310,000?" Chu Chen calmly countered with a price.
The boss Wang was also a bit annoyed, frowning and saying: "This little brother, look at this sand, and this pine flower, in one sentence, 3.3 million, if not, then forget it." After finishing, he made a gesture of closing his mouth and not speaking.
"That's it, deal at this price." Chu Chen was silent for a moment before agreeing, but he was already overjoyed in his heart.
The price was agreed upon, and Boss Wang took Chu Chen to swipe his card to pay. Afterwards, the two shook hands, which meant they had reached a deal, and they also exchanged their business cards with each other.
When they went back, the other three had not yet selected their wool, and Chu Chen did not help them select either. He only answered in a couple of words when they asked him questions, after all, there was a grudge between them that involved a fight over rice.
Finally, under Chu Chen's guidance, the three of them each chose a few pieces of satisfactory wool, and naturally the prices were relatively cheap, all in the hundreds to thousands. Moreover, with Chu Chen Baojue's screening, even if they lost money, they wouldn't lose much.
