Chapter 30: The Treasure in the Stepping Stone 2

  "Anyway, I believe Li brother is now blessed with good fortune!"

  Wang Haomin nodded vigorously beside him, but his eyes were fixed on the emerald green jade material in Li Yang's hand. At current market value, this piece of material was worth at least 80 to 90 million, and once it went out, people would be scrambling for it.

  "Ah ah!" Zhang Wei suddenly coughed lightly twice, raised his head and took a glance at Wang Haomin. Wang Haomin was also secretly looking at Zhang Wei at this time. The two exchanged a look, immediately understanding each other's thoughts.

  At present, neither of them can afford to buy this material alone. Since one person cannot eat it all, they might as well partner up to finish it off together. The two of them teaming up to buy it and then splitting it is currently the only solution; otherwise, neither of them will be able to come up with the cash to purchase this raw material in a short period of time. If they don't make a move soon, once others find out that Li Yang has such a high-end material in hand, his house will definitely be swarmed with people, and it will be even harder for him to buy it afterwards.

  "Li Lao Di, I'll give you 8 million for this piece of land, what do you think?"

  Receiving Zhang Wei's eye signal, Wang Haomin spoke first and said that the two were indeed childhood friends who grew up together, and a single glance could tell what the other was thinking.

  "Eight million?"

  Sim Lin said in a low voice, then smiled at the jade in Li Yang's hand and stopped talking.

  The price of 8 million is not low, but it does not match the current market value. The current market for jadeite raw materials is a seller's market, and high-end raw materials are extremely tight. The old pit ice seed jadeite raw material in Li Yang's hand is absolutely worth more than 8 million.

  Sim Lin wants to make an emotional investment in Li Yang, but can't say it directly and offend Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin, so he can only express it in such a subtle way.

  Gu Lao slowly nodded, and he heard the hint from Sima Lin. If they sold it for 80 million, Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin would both make a profit. Even if they resold the raw materials, they would still make a lot of money.

  Li Yang did not catch the undertone of Sima Lin's words, and his attention was now drawn to the piece of jade in his hand. The image in his mind was three-dimensional, but it couldn't compare to seeing it with his own eyes. Li Yang was carefully examining the beautiful jade, whereas last time he had handed over the one from Qingdao to Zhang Ying without even taking a good look at it.

  "Indeed, 80 million is no small amount!"

  Zhang Wei first agreed, Li Yang looked at him in surprise, he didn't seem to be like these people who had been together for a long time and understood each other. At this moment, Li Yang still did not know that Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin had reached a cooperative intention.

  "Sorry, Director Zhang!" Li Yang shook his head slightly. Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin were both taken aback for a moment, with Wang Haomin hastily saying: "Eight million five hundred thousand!"

  Wang Haomin thought Li Yang was still dissatisfied with the price and raised it again.

  "Sorry, Mr. Wang, I didn't mean it that way!" Li Yang smiled wryly and shook his head. Wang Haomin hastily added again: "Nine million, Brother Li, the cash on hand is not much at present. If nine million is still not satisfactory to you, I can give you some finished jewelry, whether it's diamonds or gold, just speak up!"

  Li Yang smiled wryly: "I'm really sorry, Director Wang. You should know that I'm from Anshi Jewelry. Actually, the two pieces of material I bet on last time were both taken by our company. If the company finds out that I still have materials and didn't sell them to my own company, they might get some ideas!"

  Li Yang's face showed a hint of apology, Zhang Ying was very good to him, and Li Yang also knew that selling such high-end jade raw materials to the company would be beneficial to both himself and Zhang Ying. Wang Haomin and his group were not bad, but after all, they had just met, so he could only take care of his own people for now.

  "So, Mr. Li, you can rest assured, we'll keep this secret and absolutely won't let it out!"

  Zhang Wei hastily spoke up in front of Wang Haomin, saying that Li Yang was slightly stunned at first, but immediately understood that he and Zhang Wei had joined forces. No wonder Zhang Wei didn't bid earlier and even helped Wang Haomin speak.

  "I guarantee I won't say a word, Old Gu, Sima, you guys won't either, right?"

  Wang Haomin also hastily followed suit, and pulled down Gu Lao and Sima Lin together. Gu Lao and Sima Lin looked at each other, and nodded in unison with a hint of helplessness.

  "I'm really sorry, how about this: I'll give you the smaller one worth 500,000 yuan, and I'll take the bigger one back to the company. I don't think my good luck will end so soon, next time I win a similar jade, I'll definitely prioritize giving it to you guys, what do you think?"

  Li Yang shook his head again, he really didn't have much mood to explain, under the stone mill there was still a piece of glass jade waiting for him, no matter what that piece of gambled stone material he had to get it.

  "What good luck! It's hard to come by such a great opportunity!"

  Zhang Wei smiled wryly and shook his head. He had already seen that Li Yang really didn't intend to sell. To say that he could often encounter such good luck as Old Pit Ice Type, Zhang Wei couldn't believe it himself. He had been playing with gambling stones for over a decade, and although he had solved the Ice Type before, he had never encountered one so big, green, and perfect.

  Zhang Wei is not a fool, and he can do such a big business. It's certain that he is not resigned to his fate, but he won't force others to do something difficult. Especially since Li Yang is from Anshi Jewelry, Li Yang has already made his attitude clear. If Zhang continues to be aggressive, it will have a bad impact on him. If things go wrong, he might even be remembered by Anshi Jewelry, and their influence is huge. Once Anshi Jewelry joins forces with suppliers and other industry insiders to boycott him, Zhang will end up losing out.

  So, after seeing Li Yang's attitude, Zhang Wei made a decisive choice.

  "Director Zhang, don't be so unbelieving. Last time I gambled for a high-ice species, someone also said the same thing, but this time is different, and I've gambled out another ice species!" Li Yang also saw Zhang Wei's discontent and smiled again.

  "Alright, since you're thinking of your own company's interests, we can't make things too difficult for you. I really envy Anshi Jewelry for having someone like you. Why don't you come over to my side? I'll double the treatment you receive at Anshi and give you the position of deputy general manager!"

  Wang Haomin also saw Li Yang's thoughts and said with some helplessness. Wang Haomin couldn't even buy raw materials, yet he was thinking of poaching employees, Sima Lin shook his head and smiled, Li Yang still thought about his own company at this time, it wasn't that easy to be poached.

  As expected, Li Yang declined Wang Haomin's kindness, which was also within Sima Lin's expectation. Sima Lin felt even more that Li Yang was a good person with great potential and worth investing in.

  Wang Haomin is a straightforward person, after being rejected again, he directly wrote out a check for 500,000 yuan in cash and bought the small piece of jadeite. It's better than nothing, but Zhang Wei, as the landlord, didn't get anything, shaking his head and sighing constantly.

  "Director Zhang, I don't know where to buy a lithotripsy machine?"

  Li Yang fell silent for a moment, then asked Zhang Wei. He really couldn't think of any reason to buy a footstone, and could only make up his mind on the stone machine. If he directly opened his mouth to ask for a footstone that no one wanted, it was likely that these people would suspect something. Li Yang had just risen greatly once, and what he did at this time was most likely to attract attention, absolutely cannot take risks.

  "Nanyang has it, how about it, Mr. Li wants to buy a set for himself?" Zhang Wei replied, his eyes still on the already packed jadeite, encountering such high-end jadeite but not getting it was indeed a pity.

  Li Yang nodded and said: "Yes, I suppose President Zhang has already seen that I am not good at playing Go. I want to buy a set to take home and study it carefully!"

  Zhang Wei thought for a moment and replied: "This set of mine is semi-automatic, more than 30,000 yuan in Nanyang, and there is also a fully automatic oil saw stone machine. That kind of stone machine is more expensive, estimated to be around 600,000 to 700,000 yuan per unit. It's definitely not available here, probably only available in Guangdong or Yunnan!"

  "Director Zhang, how about this? I'll give you 1 million, and you sell me this entire set of Go equipment and all the Go stones in your courtyard. Let me take them back and practice seriously!"

  At this point, Li Yang's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster. Buying the stone-grinding machine and all the gambling stones would naturally allow him to take away the footstone with glass in it without arousing anyone's suspicion.

  For a new book, recommendation votes are extremely important, just like the monthly votes for old books. Xiao Yu will definitely use her sincerity to ask everyone for votes, with a guaranteed update of two chapters per day. For every additional 200 recommendation votes, Xiao Yu will add an extra chapter, which means that if today's weekly recommendations reach 200, Xiao Yu will update three chapters, 400 votes will be updated to four chapters, and 600 votes will be updated to five chapters, with no upper limit. I also hope that everyone can feel Xiao Yu's sincerity and cast all their recommendation votes for her.
