The fabric hasn't been opened yet, but I've already seen the condition at the edge of the fabric—dead gray, just like before, dead gray, ruined, despair. Only now do I know what this feeling is like.
My head was buzzing a bit, and when Boss Wei patted me on the shoulder, my heart skipped a beat. I swallowed hard and weakly walked over. I picked up the stone and weakly placed it on the platform. I felt dizzy, really, I didn't know if it was from nervousness or a breakdown, but I felt like throwing up.
"Damn, Imperial Green..."
I don't even know why I shouted this in my sleep, but my whole body suddenly shivered, like peeing in the freezing winter. The coldness seeped into my body, and my brain instantly felt frozen, leaving me unable to react. I stared at the stone, dazed.
Green... there is indeed green, damn it, green, there is green in the middle of the stone.
I pointed at the stone, my mouth stumbling over the words. I watched as Boss Wei dashed forward, picked up the stone, examined it, and then jumped up in excitement, laughing non-stop.
"Haha, Imperial Green, Imperial Green, look quickly, this is Imperial Green, isn't it Imperial Green..."
Boss Wei was calling us over while pointing at the stone, and I nervously grabbed the material. I hadn't even processed what this green was yet, but Boss Wei was very excited, gesturing animatedly and pointing to the green part in the middle for me to see. I looked closely, and yes, it was imperial green. There was a line in the middle, ten centimeters long and five centimeters wide. This green was so intense it made my eyes dizzy, extremely, extremely green.
Yes, it's imperial green, no doubt about it. Although it's just a small piece, the quality of the jade is exceptional, and it can be made into many fully green pendants. I looked at this green band, the color was rich, just like emerald, with a hint of blue in the green, but it wasn't off-color. I quickly took a flashlight and shone it on this green band.
Under the light, this color strip not only appears green but also glows, very transparent. I smiled happily, but I wanted to cry even more. It's a mix of emotions. Damn it, if I hadn't made this cut, I wouldn't just have lost; I would have also painfully lost this imperial green.
Function.In terms of price, it can rival gold, and in appearance, it is even more dazzling and colorful than gold.
Imperial green is the best and most valuable color in jadeite, also known as "emerald green," giving a sense of solemn nobility.
Imperial green is a unique color. Under sunlight, it appears as a deep lake green, resembling lake blue at first glance. Under strong light, it shows a jade green, and under a digital flash, it presents a bright green, ever-changing.
Among them, the "mutton fat" imperial green jadeite is considered one of the finest types of jadeite in modern times. Its texture is fibrous and, when viewed in light, it appears dense, sparkling, with green fibers suspended. After polishing, its surface lacks the crystalline refraction typical of modern jadeite. Imperial green jadeite is renowned for its deep internal luster and is priceless.
I can only think of these things, but looking at the material, it's green, but the base is a bit poor, not reaching the icy-milky level, barely qualifying as milky. However, this is already quite good, it can be considered top-notch.
This sudden surprise caught many people off guard. For example, Qian Guang and the others just looked at us strangely, thinking we seemed a bit like lunatics.
I hurriedly pulled Qian Guang and said, "Brother Guang, did you see this green line?"Although it is only five centimeters wide and ten centimeters long, and weighs less than a pound, it is more expensive than gold, almost the same price as mutton-fat jade, around three hundred thousand per gram. Three hundred thousand per gram, do you know what that means?
Qian Guang grabbed me, and a smile finally appeared on his face. He didn't say anything, perhaps calculating, but clearly, his math wasn't good, and he still couldn't figure it out.
Boss Wei said with a smile, "This is the first time I've ever bet on imperial green. This kind of material is rarely seen in a hundred years, and it's even harder to find on the market, with people dreaming of getting their hands on it. Who would have thought we would accidentally bet on it? Now, it's definitely not going for less than three hundred thousand per gram. It's a pity this piece of imperial green is less than a pound. I estimate we can get at most three hundred grams
"Nine hundred million... this cut is nine hundred million..."
Everyone looked at me in disbelief. Qian Guang was relatively calm, just unable to stop smiling, while Qian Laowu had gone crazy, lifting me up and spinning me around non-stop. I laughed heartily, feeling extremely exhilarated. Feeling the wind, it was as if I was about to fly. It was truly, truly amazing. I finally understood what it felt like to go from hell to heaven. Really, really amazing.
"Congratulations, Qian Guang. About the investment in this material I mentioned, think it over. A 10% share will do."
At that moment, I heard Liu Qiang's voice. He was smiling at Qian Guang, but Qian Guang didn't return the smile; instead, he shook his head. Qian Laowu put me down and said, "Damn it, do you have any shame?"
Liu Qiang smiled and said, "Why get angry when you can share in the joy?"
Qian Laowu was about to lose his temper when Qian Guang took out a red envelope from his pocket, wrapped ten thousand yuan in it, and said, "Wishing you prosperity."
Liu Qiang looked at the red envelope, his eyes turning malicious. He put the envelope away and said, "Thanks, Boss Tian. See you."
After he finished speaking, he left angrily, and Qian Laowu cursed, "Son of a bitch..."
Qian Guang said, "Old Five, don't get angry with the gambler. He'll go crazy, and besides, we're abroad. No matter who is right, if we end up fighting, it'll be our fault, and we won't come out of it well."
Boss Wei nodded and said, "Brother Guang is right. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. This piece of material counts as a big win. Zhao Fei, you did a great job. That's it for today. We had a great harvest. Let's go back, process the material, and then split the profits. How does that sound?"
Qian Guang nodded and said, "Okay, we're abroad, it's not safe here. Let's go back to our country as soon as possible and discuss it there."
Boss Wei nodded. At that moment, I saw Kun Sang come in. He smiled and said, "Boss Wei, I heard from your subordinate that you opened an imperial green. Is it true?"
"Yeah, thanks to Brother Zhao Fei's persistence, otherwise this piece would have been ruined. Not only would we have lost over ten million, but we would have wasted a piece of jade too," Boss Wei said excitedly.
Kunsang wanted to take the material, but Boss Wei didn't give it to him. Instead, he held it up for him to see. Kunsang took a look, his eyes widened, and he said, "I've been playing with stones for over ten years, and this is the first time I've seen imperial green. I didn't expect it to come out in my store. Really, it surprised me a bit. Envy, envy."
Boss Wei chuckled and said, "Luck, Zhao Fei's luck. Kun Sang, since we've made some gains, we won't stay long. Same old rules, I want twenty million worth of goods, all the major markets. You'll take the Nankan route and enter from Jie Gao. I'll come to pick you up when the goods arrive, cash on delivery."
Kunsang nodded and said, "Please, I'll have someone take you."
Boss Wei nodded, then handed the materials to his subordinate. Under Kunsang's lead, we left the village. As soon as we stepped out, we saw a van waiting for us, the same van. I looked around and thought, damn, halfway up the mountain, this Kunsang really knows how to do business. So cautious, who would have thought there would be a gambling stone site in such a hidden place halfway up the mountain?
We got into the car, and it was still very cramped, feeling greasy all over, but we were all very happy. Boss Wei said, "This time we hit the jackpot, 16 million bet on 100 million. Zhao Fei, you can get 9 million from this piece, plus the 2 million from the previous piece, you get 11 million in total. You only invested 600,000, so consider this investment money as a red envelope. I'll waive it for you."
Eleven million, this number is making me a bit dizzy. I really didn't expect to gamble this big this time. It's truly a case of going from rags to riches in an instant. It's only been a short time, and I already have twenty million in wealth.
I said, "Boss Wei, no need for that. Business investments should be legitimate, no need to waive it. As for the red envelope, you should give it to Wang Gui. He's been working hard too."
"Of course, we can't forget about Wang Gui. Haha, Wang Gui, I used to think you were just a slacker, but I didn't expect you to actually have some skills. I'll give you a big red envelope of two hundred thousand as a reward," Boss Wei said with a smile.
Wang Gui shrugged indifferently, and I said, "Aren't you going to thank Boss Wei?"
Wang Gui gave a bitter smile and said, "Thank you, Boss Wei..."
Boss Wei nodded and said to Qian Guang, "Brother Guang, you also got quite a bit, at least thirty million. Adding the previous materials, fifty-five million is not a problem. After deducting costs, there should be at least thirty million left. It's a small investment for a big return."
Qian Guang said, "Boss Wei earns the most, but he also invests a lot. After we go back, Boss Wei has to treat us."
"Definitely, I'll reserve a table at Seventh Master's restaurant for you all..." Boss Wei said.
He had just finished speaking when a sudden crisp sound was heard. Before we could react, the car seemed to lose control and crashed towards the roadside. I immediately felt a huge inertia and was thrown forward, crashing headfirst into the rear window of the car. My head throbbed with pain, and a warm stream flowed out. I reached out and touched it—blood...
I don't know what happened, I could only smell a pungent odor. Suddenly, I saw lights outside, and then there was a series of gunshots. I was so scared that I hurriedly covered my head and lay down in the car.
"Damn it, we've been ambushed. Brother Guang, be careful, don't stick your head out..." Zhuzi said quietly.
We were all lying in the car, and no one was talking. I saw one of Boss Wei's bodyguards take out a gun and toss it to Zhuzi, then he poked through the broken glass of the car and fired a shot outside. But with just that one shot, the man had a hole in his head and instantly fell back, losing his life.
I looked at his head, which had a huge hole in it, his eyes wide open, it was terrifying, really terrifying. It was the first time I had seen something so horrifying, and I was a bit shocked inside. Facing death up close like this, no one could stay calm.
"Turn off the lights..."
Zhuzi hurriedly turned off the car lights, and in an instant, the entire cabin was plunged into darkness, our lives and deaths becoming unpredictable in an instant...
