Chapter 568: Sixty-Percent Sure
Betting on rocks was both risky and profitable, with the word “betting” describing everything.
When the original rock was mined, there was a layer of weathered exterior on the outside, so there was no effective way to see whether the inside was stone or jade.
The experienced master could summarize various experiences, but still could not guarantee his accuracy rate.
When Li Weiyun came, she had brought the company’s master over.
If they were able to find good material, their company would be able to continue to be brilliant.
Previously, one company found a superb specimen of gla.s.sy violet with floating green flowers. They carved out an extremely delicate and beautiful ornament, which immediately became the treasure of the store and attracted many customers.
If they didn’t find good material, then they would be pressured. Therefore, they came over this time with a mission.
Thinking about the task she had, Li Weiyun had no time to pay attention to Xia Xibei.
Anyway, she would be fixed eventually. There was no hurry.
Of course, Xia Xibei’s claim that she would definitely make a lot of money was even less important on Li Weiyun’s radar.
She was just a girl without a father or mother. What kind of big money could she make?
For her, earning five thousand yuan a month was already tops. How could she know the financial power of people in her cla.s.s?
They were not comparable at all.
“Then I hope you will make a lot of money,” Li Weiyun smiled haughtily, with an air of arrogance.
“Great!”
Xia Xibei was all smiles and energy.
“Miss, this way!”
Li Weiyun nodded towards Xia Xibei and fluttered away.
Xia Xibei’s eyes flashed as she watched her depart. She also began to stroll around the place.
It was not the first time she had come into contact with these jade rocks, but it was the first time she had been to such a place.
This was a large courtyard of several hundred square meters. Numerous rocks of different sizes were on the ground, looking rather inconspicuous.
However, no one knew which rock had beautiful jade of great value inside.
There were a lot of people around with flashlights or other tools, picking rocks as if they were looking for a watermelon. Sometimes they chatted, sometimes they had grim faces.
A middle-aged man came over and asked with a smile, “Miss, do you need any help?”
“No need.”
Xia Xibei shook her head, then walked in.
The man was about to follow but was scared into stopping by her cold eyes.
What a sharp gaze! Where did this young woman come from?
The man broke out in a cold sweat as he remembered how she and Li Weiyun had just interacted, backing off.
Xia Xibei walked among the rocks, sweeping by as if sightseeing, occasionally stopping and touching the exterior of the stones.
These uncut rocks were not fragile, and as long as you didn’t take a hammer to them, the boss didn’t care.
Of course, even if they took a hammer to smash it, they may not be able to break it.
Li Weiyun stood in front of a large rock at the corner with a stony face.
“Uncle Zhang, how sure are you?”
“Sixty percent.” Uncle Zhang’s face was also gloomy. He was quite positive about this piece of rock, but who could guarantee such things?
This piece of rock was as tall as a person, several hundred catties in weight, and the price tag was 50 million yuan.
Fifty million was not a large amount for the Li family, but if 50 million went down the drain, it wasn’t a simple matter either. After all, fixed a.s.sets and liquidity were two different things.
When they came over this time, they had brought 80 million yuan.
If this piece of rock was a failure, it would be bad.
Moreover, she wanted to have a win right away.
“Uncle Zhang, which other piece do you have your eye on? How about looking at the other ones first?”
