Volume 1 Rebirth - The Eve of High School Chapter 20: Top-grade Colorless

  Zi Qing had consecutively cracked open over a dozen stones at Sun's shop, and without exception, they were all white. It seemed that today was not the day to find top-quality jadeite. Zi Qing planned to visit the large-scale stone gambling markets in Southern China or Myanmar when she had time, and she would definitely be able to find precious jade.

  Just as she was getting up, she accidentally touched a piece of hairy thing and almost fell. Zi Qing looked down and saw that it was an irregular yellow sandy pelted stone the size of a basketball. Its appearance was ordinary, but when she tried to see through it slightly, she found that inside, it was crystal clear like glass, and could be seen all the way through!

  Needless to say, even a novice can see that this is an extremely valuable old pit glass jade in the emerald! Zi Qing doesn't understand jade very well yet, and seeing this colorless glass-like jade, she has no idea how much it's worth, but thinks it shouldn't be too low.

  With some effort, she picked up the piece of wool and walked towards Old Sun. Old Sun saw Zi Qing finally walking over with a piece of wool after so long, slightly furrowed his brow, then smiled and welcomed her. Upon closer inspection of the basketball-sized piece of wool in Zi Qing's hands, he apologetically chuckled "Miss Zi Qing really has good eyesight! It's all my fault for not making it clear earlier, only those three or four fist-sized pieces of wool are 400 yuan each, these slightly larger ones are calculated by kilogram, 800 yuan per kilogram. This is the special price that Old Ma brought over! Please don't mind, Miss Ai."

  Zi Qing was stunned, "So expensive?" She turned her head to look at Ma Yu Xi, who smiled and nodded, "I can vouch for this, Miss Ai. If it weren't for Old Sun's place, this kind of high-quality fur would cost around 1,200 yuan per kilogram. And if those outer furs are observed carefully, you might be able to tell that they have the possibility of producing green jade, or even opening a small window with green jade, which could be worth hundreds of millions or tens of thousands of yuan!"

  Zi Qing was slightly surprised, it turns out there's still such a thing, looks like I have a lot to learn. She nodded and handed the stone over to Old Sun for weighing, which came out to be more than five kilograms. Old Sun smiled and said "Alright Miss Ai, let's just say 4,000 yuan then."

  Ziying smiled and thanked him, directly handing over the money to Old Sun. He only had 5,000 yuan in his hand, and basically everything was settled here today.

  The lazy stone machine is still not in use, so I'll go and watch Wang Dong's lazy stone with Ma Yuxi first.

  This Wang Dongzi Qing had heard of, one of the largest jewelry companies in Yang City, an old brand. Chairman Wang is also a veteran of the Yang City jewelry industry, looking still quite young, in his 40s, tall and slender, wearing a formal black suit. As Zi Qing observed him, Wang Ming Tang also turned around to see Zi Qing's gaze, Zi Qing nodded and smiled at him, Wang Ming Tang also responded with a smile, without any hint of arrogance, which gave Zi Qing a good impression of him.

  The piece of fur that Wang Dong had weighed over 10 kilograms, with a dark brown outer skin, indicating it was an old fur as new ones are usually light in color, such as yellow, cream or beige.

  When Ziyun walked over, the stone had already been cut open halfway. Not seeing any green color, she curiously used her X-ray vision to examine inside the stone. Suddenly, a slightly dark green color appeared before her eyes, with a grayish and deep tone, but still quite transparent. The jade was fine and smooth, unfortunately, it was only about two fist-sized pieces.

  Wang Ming Tang was a bit disappointed, this broken stone cost nearly 20,000 yuan, the outer skin looked good, but inside it was actually white and flower-like! It's really hard to tell if it's jade or not. Although 20,000 yuan is not a lot, it's still unlucky. "Little Liu, cut it in half again, if not then forget it." Wang Ming Tang said with a wave of his hand.

  His assistant beside him was already sweating profusely, if he were to casually throw in tens of thousands of yuan, wouldn't Director Wang take it out on him when he returns in a bad mood?

  Zi Qing was taken aback, if this were a cut in the middle, the jade would be ruined! He hastily smiled and said "Why don't you try cutting from the other side, Wang Dong? If it's green inside, wouldn't this cut have severed it?"

  Wang Ming Tang nodded casually after listening, without really holding onto hope, and smiled "Miss Cheng's auspicious words, Little Liu, try cutting from that side"

  Xiao Liu listened and hurriedly moved the fabric, his hands rose and fell with the knife!

  Boss Sun was originally distracted looking over here, as soon as the knife fell, his eyes suddenly widened "It's gone green!"

  Wang Ming Tang hastily picked up a wet towel to wipe the green surface, his voice somewhat surprised, "Oil green seedlings, melon skin green, haha, good, melon skin oil green, not bad. Little Liu, hurry up, move aside and cut, use the manual grinding machine for the rest." After finishing, he turned around with a smile and said to Zi Qing, "Miss, auspicious words! Otherwise, I might have suffered losses. Miss, what's your surname?"

  "You're too polite, I was just casually saying that, it's still your good luck, my surname is Ai, just call me Zi Qing." Zi Qing smiled and replied.

  Wang Ming Tang just nodded and was about to say something when Little Liu on the other side called out softly, "They're all cut open, Wang Dong, quite a few of them!"

  Wang Ming Tang turned around, picked up the damp cloth and carefully wiped it again until the jade was crystal clear with a deep grayish-green color. He took it to the door and held it up against the sunlight, nodding repeatedly, "The reflection is good, the transparency is high, hmm, the oil gloss is good, and the water head is also very sufficient! A pair of bangles made from this would be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan."

  Ziying had just been complaining that the jade was a bit small, but according to them, opening up this volume is no longer considered small, and the price is also astonishing. A pair of cufflinks would cost tens of thousands? This piece of jade should be able to make at least three pairs! Ziying, who had never come into contact with these things in her past life, was a bit shocked. She lamented the exorbitant profits of this jade business.

  Is this piece of meat worth its price in your hand? Anyway, the volume is much larger than his piece, and there is basically no extra white flesh in the whole piece of wool.

  While they were observing Wang Dong's jade stone, Zi Qing picked up the manual polisher that Xiao Liu had just used and began to carefully grind the stone material. Although she was a bit clumsy, she made up for it with her meticulousness. In less than two minutes, she had already ground out a large area of transparent skin. Zi Qing picked up the damp cloth that Wang Dong had just used and wiped it in the same way, revealing even more vibrant and flawless jade, like crystal glass, completely transparent from top to bottom. It felt smooth to the touch as well. She was secretly delighted.

  Just as he was about to continue polishing, Ma Yuxi, who had just turned around, immediately opened his mouth wide and ran over without saying a word. He snatched the polisher from Ziying's hand and anxiously said, "My little ancestor! You don't even know how to use it, how dare you ruin this good jade like this! Let me take a look!" As he spoke, he half-knelt down and carefully examined it.

  Mr. Sun and Wang Yutang, who were on the other side, heard the sound and hurried over in quick strides. They widened their eyes as soon as they saw it, and Mr. Sun muttered to himself, "I've had two good pieces of jade today, how can this material be so good?"

  Wang Yutang also squatted down with Ma Yuk-hei, took a wet cloth and carefully wiped the jadeite, exclaiming "Colorless old pit glass species, top-grade colorless jadeite! 100% transparent, no need for sunlight to see the blue glow! Not a single flaw, heavens! Old Sun, how come I've never gotten such good stuff from you?"

  Old Sun heard this and smiled with some pride, "Director Wang, do I need to say more about my goods? You can't blame me if you didn't pick the best one! I'm an honest man."

  Wang Yutang was too lazy to bother with him, and turned to ask Zi Qing, "Miss Ai, are you selling this jade?" At this time, Ma Yukai had already wiped open a large area around the window that Zi Qing had wiped clean, because the jade was completely transparent, so the overall shape of the jade could be seen.

  "How much is Wang Dong prepared to spend?" asked Zi Qing. "I won't cheat Miss Ai either, I can offer up to 16 million for this jadeite," replied Wang Yutang after a brief moment of consideration.

  Zi Qing was shocked in her heart, so many? But on the surface, she didn't show any expression at all. She turned her head to look at Ma Yu Xi, with a questioning gaze in her eyes. No way, Zi Qing was indeed a rookie!

  Ma Yu Xi understood Ai Zi Qing's concerns and replied in a calm, measured tone: "This top-grade colorless glass is indeed extremely good, extremely rare, and has great collection value. At market price, a pair of bangles would cost around 7 to 8 million yuan. If we auction them off individually, the price will likely be even higher. This raw material can produce over ten pairs of bangles, and the leftover small pieces of jadeite can make at least ten pendants, each worth tens of millions of yuan. Chairman Wang's price is quite reasonable, but if he were to directly craft a large piece from this entire block of jadeite, it would have even greater collection value! It might even sell for over 200 million yuan."

  Zi Qing understood that if the raw materials were sold, this price was already relatively fair. They needed labor to process and even if it was an auction, they would have to pay a certain handling fee and taxes. It's almost normal to make at least one or two million.

  Seeing Ziying thinking, Wang Dong hesitated again and said, "I can add another 500,000 to Miss Ziying, this is already my limit. Jade is priceless in the eyes of those who appreciate it, but worthless in the eyes of those who don't understand it. After all, we need to be conservative and calculate our capital." Even the way he addressed her had changed. This piece of jade was extremely fine and transparent, obviously a top-quality item. Wang Mingdao really hoped to get his hands on it. It would also give their company some leverage in the jade market. Who wouldn't want to acquire such a rare and precious glass-like jade?

  Ziying hoped to make friends with Wang Mingtang, so she didn't hesitate and smiled: "50,000 is not needed, I just hope that President Wang can use the leftover small pieces of material to make 3 or 4 pendants for me, but I won't pay for the processing fee, okay?"

  Wang Ming Tang was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing with a hearty "Haha!" "Of course, that's no problem! So, Miss Zi Qing, it seems we have a pleasant cooperation ahead of us!" The two shook hands happily.

  Wang Ming Tang confirmed Zi Qing's bank account number and made a direct call to have someone go to the bank to make a transfer. Zi Qing remembered that phone transfers and online banking services would not be available until next year.

  After about ten minutes, Wang Mingtang's phone rang. After hanging up, he said to Zi Qing, "Miss Zi, the payment has been transferred to your card, you can check it at any time." Zi Qing made a call and then shook hands with Wang Mingtang again, saying "Mr. Wang, nice doing business with you." She handed the jadeite over to Wang's assistant, Little Liu.

  Finally, Wang Ming Tang and the other person agreed to give Zi Qing four pendants, a jade ring face, a pair of melon-shaped earrings, and a five-sided shaped jade pendant. In fact, Zi Qing had already taken advantage of it, after all, this was also a rare collection, and such a set was even more precious.

  But Wang Ming Tang did not show any reluctance, it can be seen that Zi Qing sold this top-grade jadeite to him, he was already very surprised. He wouldn't care about these scraps either.

  Like this, Zi Qing smiled and said goodbye to Wang Dong, leaving her phone number. After all, Zi Qing was a big client of his, and through their interaction, he had also come to admire the girl. They agreed that once Zi Qing bought a new phone, she would notify him, which would also make it convenient for him to inform her when the accessories were ready.

  Then followed Ma Yuxi out of Sun's store.
