Ai Ziqing first walked to the top-quality large pieces of raw materials mentioned by Sun Pangzi. These pieces of raw materials were probably several dozen kilograms in size, and the largest piece even weighed 200 kilograms. After the window was wiped open, a delicate emerald green was revealed. The green apple-like color was extremely attractive. Several people had already observed carefully with magnifying glasses and flashlights. One of the middle-aged men said, "I would rather buy a line than a piece. I think this stone is interesting."
"But the jade color inside seems to be getting lighter. Something is wrong." Another man said to himself.
Several people looked around the raw materials for a long time. Ai Ziqing walked closer and concentrated on looking through the raw materials. Unexpectedly, it was really only green near the skin. The thin emerald road was less than two fingers long. The back was all white. At the other end near the skin, there was another thin emerald green. This means that no matter which section is wiped open, emerald green will appear! What a pitfall! Ziqing complained in his heart and turned to look for other stones.
"Boss Sun, I want this stone!" As Ai Ziqing turned around, the first middle-aged man who was observing the 200-kilogram stone spoke.
"Haha, Boss Ma, you can see that this is an old pit material that was bought with a clear gambling record. The jade is fine and the chance of getting green is very high..." Fatty Sun put down his pipe and rubbed his fat hands.
The middle-aged man called Boss Ma nodded, "Boss Sun, make an offer."
"This number is already very small," Fatty Sun stretched out five fat fingers.
"Fifty million?" Boss Ma frowned slightly. Although he had guessed that it would not be low and was mentally prepared, he was still a little scared to drop the price.
"Hey, Mr. Ma, you are also an expert. You should know that the price of such a large stone is not high. The surface of this stone is not bad. If it is a secret bet, such a large piece will cost at least 20 or 30 million, not to mention that it has been polished into a piece of jade?" Fatty Sun picked up the pipe again and took two puffs.
The people around him were not unimpressed with this stone, but they either did not have the courage to spend such a large sum of money, or they really could not afford such a large sum of money, and they were itching to watch from the side.
At this time, Wang Mingtang, who had just finished observing the big stone, came over and said with a smile, "What do you think, Mr. Ma? If you don't want it, I'll take this stone!"
"Mr. Wang?" Ma Weiguang frowned slightly. He and Wang Mingtang were both veterans in the jewelry industry in Yang City. Both he and his Wanfulou were often compared with Wang Mingtang's Longfengxiang. The market competition was extremely stimulating. Although the two met on the surface, they were actually incompatible!
"Boss Sun, bring paper and pen, I'll write you an IOU, and you can pick it up at Longfengxiang tomorrow." Looking at Ma Weiguang's somewhat livid face, Wang Mingtang laughed. This is the rule of Fatty Sun's family, because most of the stones arrive in the evening, and most of the new goods are invited to see at this time, but the bank has been closed at this time, and none of these big bosses can run here with computer cases and cash, so this rule is in place.
Of course, this is only for those big bosses who can call out their names. Small figures like Ai Ziqing either bring cash or choose stones and store them here, and pay for them tomorrow. After all, for Lao Sun, she is not as secure as those big figures in Yang City.
Ai Ziqing frowned slightly beside her. She didn't want to participate, but Wang Mingtang was a good person and took good care of her. If she knew that tens of millions of yuan was a piece of collapsed stone, she would feel a little guilty if she watched him buy it.
So she didn't wait for Ma Weiguang to speak, walked to Wang Mingtang, blocked Wang Mingtang's right hand that was about to take the pen with her left hand, and smiled, "Uncle Wang, since Boss Ma has taken a look first, it's not good for you to do this, right? Why don't you give it to Boss Ma, he will still remember your kindness?"
This action and these words scared the people around Wang Mingtang. This little girl, is she so ignorant? Come out and say such things at this time?
Unexpectedly, Wang Mingtang frowned slightly and said something that made everyone drop their jaws, "Ziqing...are you sure?"
Ai Ziqing was slightly stunned, looked at Wang Mingtang's eyes, and then nodded gently. It seems that the two times she and Ma Yuxi gambled on stones and bet on the increase in succession did not escape Wang Mingtang's eyes. Although he could not suspect such an incredible thing as supernatural powers, he must have felt that he might have extraordinary eyes in the gambling of stones, so he considered his words carefully.
The confusing actions of these two people confused everyone, but after thinking for a while, Wang Mingtang smiled at Ma Weiguang and said, "My little niece is right. It's all my fault that I was reckless just now and almost scared Mr. Ma's good thing. Let's give this stone to Mr. Ma!"
Wang Mingtang was indeed as Ai Ziqing thought. Through the previous things, he felt that she was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange. Maybe it was intuition? He always believed in his intuition very much. Besides, he didn't think Ai Ziqing would be reckless in such a matter. That is to say, unless she was very pessimistic about this stone and had sufficient reasons, she would come forward to stop him. This also proved that this girl was not that simple.
Although he was a little confused, Ma Weiguang had no choice but to bite the bullet at this time. After writing an IOU, he asked for the stone on the spot. After all, 50 million yuan was not a small amount for him! Large jewelry companies are only worth hundreds of millions, especially gambling on stones, which is a nine-tenths loss. How much liquid assets can a company have? It can be said that if these tens of millions are invested, if they fail, the company will immediately fall into a tense situation! Such a large amount, even Wang Mingtang is the same! So gambling on stones is not only about vision, but also courage!
As the saying goes, the bold will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation...
The brave Mr. Ma and his assistant fixed the stone in front of the stone grinder. Because a piece of jade had been rubbed out, they did not dare to cut it directly. They picked up the stone grinder and carefully grinded off the surface. The more they rubbed, the paler their faces became...
Everyone gathered around, staring at the stones nervously, and the atmosphere in the store became obviously heavy.
Ai Ziqing was in no mood to stay there and wait for the stones to go bad. She was not a savior, and she didn't know Ma Weiguang. How could she do business with Sun Pangzi again and again? Besides, gambling on stones is all about gambling. Since it is gambling, there will naturally be ups and downs. I can't rely on my supernatural powers to help everywhere, right?
So she simply walked aside and took advantage of the stalls where everyone was looking at the stones to find good materials herself, so as to avoid malicious bidding.
After Ziqing checked the few large rough stones, it was determined that they were basically broken materials. Only two or three pieces were green, but they were all ordinary goods. Ziqing naturally looked down on them. She turned to the stones sold by kilograms. It was impossible to look at all the stones. She usually started with the large stones.
She squatted down in front of a piece of ordinary dry yellow sand skin. The stone weighed more than ten kilograms and had a dry yellow skin. According to experience, even if jade was found in this kind of leather stone, most of it would not have enough water head. However, Ai Ziqing would rather kill than let go of large stones, and only small stones would be selected for good skin for exploration.
Just after she looked through about one centimeter, her eyes were reflected in a touch of colorful colors. Ziqing's eyes widened instantly. This was a group of colorful bright jade, with a perfect transition of red, green and purple, delicate texture, and sufficient water head!
Ziqing had heard of this kind of tri-color jade, which was called Fu Lu Shou. Fu represented red, Lu represented green, and Shou represented purple, implying good luck and good fortune, and was a symbol of auspiciousness. However, this color was generally loved by noble ladies, but young people rarely liked this old tri-color.
However, the transition of the tri-color in this stone was very perfect! The crystal clear jade and color combination made Ai Ziqing love it. If it was made into jewelry and objects, it would be very popular, right? Ai Ziqing looked through the whole rough material and was in a good mood, because this piece of jade actually spread over more than two-thirds of the whole stone, and its value was simply inestimable!
Ai Ziqing signaled Zhou Yuan and the other two to take a fancy to this stone, and then walked to the next one. She and Fu Lu Shou put three or four "collapsed stones" weighing more than ten kilograms together, ready to buy them together. Finally, they found another six or seven kilograms of ice-type blue jade, as bright as the sky, and as crystal clear as water droplets. Ziqing liked it at first sight. Moreover, she also knew that this pure blue color was relatively rare. The common blue in the market was mostly light blue with floating flowers, and there were few such crystal clear full colors. She decided to buy it immediately.
Ai Ziqing came with Zhou Yuan and others, and naturally brought cash. After settling the bill with Old Sun, seeing that Mr. Ma's stone had not been polished yet, Zhou Yuan and the other two were also quite curious, so they accompanied them to watch.
The stone material started from the side where the jade was exposed, and the surrounding area had been rubbed away. The side with a strip of jade flesh was being polished. As the strip of jade flesh emerged, Ai Ziqing clearly felt the gasps of people around him. Ma Weiguang's solemn expression relaxed, and he observed the jade flesh with surprise. Then he glanced at Wang Mingtang and smiled with a little complacency, "It's really a good thing! It's really thanks to Mr. Wang's good words!"
"Haha, no, no..." Wang Mingtang still smiled calmly, although he felt very uncomfortable with Ma Weiguang's words!
Wang Mingtang's assistant looked at Ai Ziqing with some resentment. He really couldn't understand why Mr. Wang would listen to this little girl and let go of such a piece of top-quality stone!
Wang Bin and Wang Ming also stared at Wang Mingtang very nervously. Seeing that he was not angry, they breathed a sigh of relief. They frowned and glanced at Ai Ziqing, but did not say anything. After all, this was Wang Mingtang's own decision, and he could not blame others.
Zhou Yuan looked at Ai Ziqing with some worry. He also felt that Ai Ziqing was a little reckless in standing up just now, which was not like her character. If the stone material failed, Wang Mingtang would certainly remember her personal favor, but if the bet went up, it would be a bit embarrassing, after all, no one could be sure of such things. In his opinion, Ai Ziqing should also be under great psychological pressure now.
But everyone who looked at Ai Ziqing found that she seemed to be very leisurely, leaning against the wall, looking left and right, as if nothing had happened, and did not take the matter in front of her to heart at all. Zhou Yuan had to admire her Qi-cultivation skills again...
"Boss Ma, you are so lucky! What a courage! If this 200-kilogram stone is connected in one line, its value will surely increase several times!" The owner of a small jewelry store smiled flatteringly.
"Haha, then I will accept Mr. Liu's good words? Xiao Guo, cut one centimeter along the left side!" Ma Weiguang instructed his assistant.
"Okay! Watch!" Assistant Xiao Guo fixed the stone and cut it slowly with a large stone cutter.
A piece of white stone... But Ma Weiguang was not in a hurry. After all, the jade flesh had been exposed on both sides. I believe it is likely to be connected in one line, and it is normal for all the surroundings to be white stone!
Next, pieces of white stone were cut off one by one, and Ma Weiguang's face became more and more solemn. When all the stones were cut open and everyone found that there was only jade flesh less than two fingers long on both sides, and the middle was completely separated by white stones, Ma Weiguang's face was already pale...
"Alas! Relying on green skin can cause a lot of harm to people! Mr. Ma, gambling on stones is a nine-out-of-ten loss, so don't take it too seriously." Wang Mingtang said with regret.
Ma Weiguang just nodded woodenly and said to Boss Sun, "Boss Sun, just go to my company to get the money tomorrow, I'll leave first." After saying that, although his face was pale, he still walked out steadily.
