Chapter Twelve The Value of Five Hundred Yuan

  Ai Li thought Zhang boss was talking nonsense in broad daylight!

  Li Anping also frowned and said: "Boss Zhang, everyone can see clearly that the white flowers are just a patch of stones, where is the green?"

  Its just that Baojia doesnt believe this stone can really rise, on the scene only Lin Luoran, the owner of this stone, and Zhang Laoban, the former owner, are convinced that this stone has really risen!

  Due to the angle and common sense, everyones attention is generally focused on the larger one. Mr. Zhang saw that no one believed him, his hand trembled slightly, picked up the smaller one and brushed off the dust on it, and everyones eyeballs almost fell out...

  "Out of green......?" Mrs. Chois tone was filled with incredulity.

  "Its green apple color, close to icy." Boss Zhang nodded and gave a rough judgment.

  His hand trembled, on the one hand because of the precision of this knife, and on the other hand with a few regrets. This broken stone had been placed in the yard for at least five years. My god, such good material, was actually blown by the wind in the yard for five years, why didnt I think of cutting it into something?

  Mr. Zhang poured some water on the cutting surface of the small stone material, and suddenly that shocking green finally revealed its full appearance.

  This piece of jade has a cut surface, and its actually grown in such a wonderful way, with a full circle of green on the entire cut surface... Its also just this stone thats been blown by the wind and rain in the courtyard, whoever is idle and bored can wipe it casually, and the green so close to the outer shell will definitely be wiped out!

  Bao Jia laughed with joy, "Luo Ran, this is a great bargain!"

  Ai Li still didnt give up and coldly laughed: "Rather cut off a thread than choose a side, now its too early to laugh."

  Cui Pangzi looked at this green and thought the water was still pretty good. If it were a bit thicker, he could definitely dig up a bracelet from the center.

  "One million, will Miss Lin sell or not?" asked Cui Pangzi with a smile.

  Doing business is like this, there are risks and gains. If its really just a thin slice of profit, then Cui will only have to admit defeat.

  An investment of 500 yuan, with one cut it becomes 1 million, its value has increased by 2,000 times!

  Baojia knew the risks of gambling on stones, one knife to poverty and another to wealth, a phrase widely spread in the industry. She also knew Lin Luorans situation and felt that one million was enough to let go.

  Lin Luo Ran received a reassuring glance from Bao Jia, and gave her a relieved glance in return.

  "Boss Zhang, can you help me to completely remove the stone? This piece of jade is not just this layer on the surface, Lin Luo Ran decided to fully open it up for sale."

  "It cant be cut, it has to be ground." Boss Zhang didnt let others take over, he still did it himself. People in this line of work have a deep fascination with these raw stones that outsiders cant understand. Its very common for the big boss to personally grind the stone.

  Lin Luoran smiled apologetically at Cui Chubuzi: "If Mr. Cui still wants it, Ill definitely give you priority to buy it."

  Cui Pangzi waved his hand, not minding that he had already bought it all. Although the price might be higher if he were to buy again, there was no risk involved. It was a clear and transparent transaction, and good materials were scarce, so everyone was hoarding them. Cui Pangzi would only complain about having too little, not too much.

  Polishing is a delicate task and naturally takes much more time than cutting.

  Everyone present is an expert in this field, and many people have spent several days studying how to crack the stone, so its still worth waiting for a while.

  Mr. Zhang polished the stone, and Cui Pangzi and Mrs. Cui started talking to Lin Luoran and others, while the rest of the people discussed among themselves, all about this years Myanmar public disk, a piece of purple jade material was auctioned off at a sky-high price of nearly 200 million yuan.

  "This year, Myanmars public disk tourism is too much. Wenzhou groups and Shanxi bosses all chartered planes to go, increasing the firepower of speculation, making us jewelry makers cry and laugh."

  Lin Luo Ran listened with a smile, completely unaware of these things.

  Baojia could still say a couple of sentences, but seeing that they couldnt keep the conversation going, Mrs. Cui changed the subject to beauty and skincare.

  "Big sister, how did you manage to look like this?" Cuis husband was dark-skinned and often worked in the material yard, a woman who could hold her own against men. She couldnt help but envy Lin Luorans fair skin.

  Lin Luorans face turned red with sweat, and he couldnt possibly tell Mrs. Cui that he had eaten a magical fruit and transformed into this state, could he?

  Ai Li and Li Anping stood on the periphery of the crowd, women cant help but love beauty. In fact, she also wanted to know how Lin Luoran did it, just a few days ago, how could she achieve such an effect without changing her entire skin?

  Li Anping was not feeling good in his heart, earlier the boss had already offered a price of one million for Lin Luorans stone. If he had one million earlier, he could have bought a house in R city too, if at that time Lin Luoran was as beautiful as she is now, would he be willing to leave her?

  Ai Li and Li Anping each had their own thoughts, but Bao Jia helped Lin Luo Ran out of the situation:

  "Mrs. Choi told Luo Ran and me that eating more green vegetables, having enough sleep, and being in a good mood will naturally improve the skin!"

  "Stop calling me Mrs. Cui, its annoying to hear such polite words, just call me Wang Jie!... Fatty, from now on when we buy vegetables at home, well specifically look for old farmers who dont use pesticides, or youll be in trouble!"

  Mrs. Cui, no, Wang Jie not only fixed the title, but also gave Cui Pangzi a dead task. Cui Pangzi received his wifes instructions and almost nodded and bowed to respond, making Lin Luoran and Baojia burst out laughing.

  A few people chatted and laughed, and time slipped away unnoticed.

  "This is a good material! Miss Lin has chosen this stone, and theres nothing more to say!"

  The speaker was Zhang Boss, who had been working hard with his head down. While everyone else was chatting, Zhang Boss had already carved out the entire piece of jade material.

  Its said that the solution has been figured out, and its a great material. Everyone gathered around to take a look. The ones running in the front were not Lin Luoran and Baojia, but rather Aili and Li Anping - both of them had some degree of unwillingness.

  What appeared before everyone was a piece of jade material with a base of about 13 or 14 centimeters and a thickness of about 7 or 8 centimeters, with the bottom rounded and the top smaller - this is the shape of that one-third original stone! It seems that after peeling off the outer skin, its basically all jade material inside.

  Jade material is placed in a basin and washed clean, emitting a moving luster under sunlight.

  Although its green apple color, the quality has reached ice level, good water head, no crack, and no obvious cotton in the middle, its indeed a good material!

  Someone was mentally calculating how to put down the ingredients, the small side is not a sharp cone, but like a large circle arc, how many hoops should be taken? How much egg noodles can be left, and other decorations.

  "Ill give you 4 million!" said a boss with a Cantonese accent, who knows why he ran to inland R city to find goods.

  Wang sister snorted in disdain: "You dare to bully a little girl who doesnt know the rules? You have the nerve to ask for 40 million, Ill give you 50 million!"

  The boss of Guangzhou was exposed, but he didnt turn against Wang Jie. With just one word from her, he added another million. He was also helpless and said in his Cantonese-accented Mandarin: "Im telling you, Mei E, how can we do business like this?"

  A careless Guangzhou guy accidentally shouted out Wangs sisters maiden name, but when he saw Cui the fatty standing beside him clenching his fists and rubbing his palms, he could only touch his nose and retreat. This is a husband-and-wife team, isnt this bullying?!

  Liu Zhao also seems interested in this material. Seeing that the Guangzhou boss is no longer bidding, he offered a price of "5.5 million".

  Its a lie to say that one wouldnt be excited, wealth moves peoples hearts, 5 million, apart from winning the lottery, there arent many opportunities to get it for free all at once, Lin Luoran naturally smiled very happily.

  Bao Jia muttered to herself, and at this time she had completely forgotten that Lin Luo Ran had also helped her choose two pieces of raw stone. She was genuinely happy for her good friend and felt that Lin Luo Ran would finally be able to end his suffering and find happiness.

  As for Li Anping, every time the price goes up a bit, its like cutting his flesh. After being with Ai Li, he only looks good on the surface, although Ai Li often gives him some brand-name clothes, but he also has to return gifts. In just half a month, apart from getting a pile of clothes that can only be worn, several cards were swiped and went bankrupt, making him now "have negative assets"!

  Tens of millions... If I hadnt broken up with Lin Luoran, all this money would have been his. As soon as Li Anping thought of this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
