Chapter 130 Sky-high Jadeite 4The sound of the grinding wheel was still very ear-piercing, almost unbearable. However, at this moment, no one felt that this sound was unpleasant to hear. When that sparkling jade piece was gradually revealed, everyone hoped that the ear-piercing sound would be faster and more intense.
Almost everyone in the crowd had looks of envy and greed on their faces as they stared at the rock under Uncle Hai"s hand. The jade, which was half the size of a basketball, had already been revealed. And this was only one of them. Looking at the direction of the jadeite, there seemed to be even more jadeite amongst the remaining half of the stone that had yet to be cut apart!Apart from the onlookers, Qin Shujie and Wu Changqun were the most shocked. However, the faces of the two were completely different.
Qin Shujie looked meaningfully at Ji Feng, who had a faint smile on his face. Suddenly, she remembered the first time she saw such a big piece of jade, she was so excited that she couldn"t control herself. Although Ji Feng"s face was similarly excited, Qin Shujie could faintly feel that his expression was an act.In other words, Ji Feng wasn"t too surprised by the fact that he had bought such a huge piece of jade!
Did he already know this situation, or did he not care about this little bit of money? Or perhaps, he was too used to seeing wind and waves that this little stimulation was unable to make him excited? Qin Shujie was confused for a moment.
However, Qin Shujie knew that she was very excited.
In the current jewelry and jade business, business was not easy. Although compet.i.tion was one of the reasons, the supply was tight and it was also crucial.
For example, in Qin Shujie"s company, other than one or two town"s treasures, the rest of them did not have any top quality jades. Most of them were carved from violet or lower quality jades.
The supply of jade was almost exhausted, but the other jewelry was already in supply. However, with more and more people coming in these few years, the sales of jade and jade were clearly on the rise, but the supply was almost out of stock. For a jewelry company, this was a huge blow.
It was also because of this that Qin Shujie had personally come to partic.i.p.ate in the Emerald Jade Market this time in order to buy sufficient raw materials to ease the company"s crisis.However, when she arrived at the fair, she found out that there were too many Emerald merchants that came to partic.i.p.ate in the fair. There were many Emerald merchants in every corner of the country, and there were even some large companies with incomparably strong power. Her Susu Yao Jewelry Company"s financial resources were not bad, but compared to those companies, it was far from enough.
As a result, Qin Shujie had been in the bazaar for almost half a day and hadn"t even bought a single piece of jade.
If she did not run into Ji Feng by accident, Qin Shujie would have personally partic.i.p.ated in the stone gambling. This was also the reason why she brought Uncle Hai to partic.i.p.ate in the trade fair.
However, from the looks of it, there was no need to worry.
The rock that Ji Feng had bought had increased in value, and it had increased by leaps and bounds!
Looking at the size of the emerald that was now exposed, it was about the size of a basketball. Moreover, the quality of the emerald was not bad. If he bought it, it would be enough for the company to buy a round.
"This young man is really surprising!" Qin Shujie looked at Ji Feng, who was not far away, and couldn"t help mumbling to herself.
Contrary to Qin Shujie"s performance, Wu Changqun, who had collapsed next to the stone undoing machine, and Hu Xueqin and Hu Xuehui, who were beside him, were completely paralyzed.
The three of them stared blankly at Ji Feng, their hearts surging with an intense unwillingness. This was especially true for Wu Changge. His face was flushed, as if someone had grabbed him by the neck, and the veins on his forehead were popping up.
"d.a.m.ned little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you only have a million or so on you, yet you"re purposely bidding with your father. In the end, I spent more than six million to buy a piece of useless rock!"
The loss of more than six million caused Wu Changqun"s eyes to turn red. If not for the presence of so many people, he would have eaten Ji Feng alive.
As for Hu Xue Hui and Hu Xue Qin, their hearts were filled with jealousy. Why couldn"t Wu Changqun unravel the jade, but this poor brat could actually unravel such a big piece of jade?
In fact, Hu Xuehui and Hu Xuehui did not know how much this piece of jade was worth. If they knew about it, they would probably die of jealousy!
Gulp!
The sound of him swallowing his saliva was very obvious. Everyone stared blankly at the jade piece in Uncle Hai"s hand that was getting bigger and bigger. Their eyes were filled with both excitement and greed."Icy Jade, it"s an Icy Jade!" A merchant muttered to himself with a face full of surprise, "Such a large piece of Icy Jade is too rare!"
Ice Jade?
Ji Feng was stunned, he had never heard of such a thing before.
"Didn"t they say that the best jadeite is a gla.s.s type of jadeite, and the next is an ice type jadeite? Why are there still Ice Jade? " Ji Feng had some doubts. He wanted to ask Uncle Hai about it, but seeing that he was busy, he gave up on that idea. He decided to wait until he was done.
"Buzz!"
As the last sound of friction faded away, the emerald in Uncle Hai"s hand revealed its true appearance.The basketball was two full sizes and had an irregular shape. However, this did not hinder its beauty and high value.
"What a good piece of Icy Jade!"
Uncle Hai wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a face full of admiration, "This old man has been in the Emerald business for most of his life, but it"s still the first time that he has personally tasted such a big piece of jade, and an ice jade at that!"
Not only him, but the others were also amazed as well. A total of two basketball big!
Uncle Hai immediately commanded the staff to weigh them.
Everyone stared fixedly at the piece of jade, unable to conceal the greed in their eyes.
"Ji Feng, your luck is ridiculous, really... "Tsk tsk!" Uncle Hai couldn"t help but laugh when Ji Feng walked over. Perhaps it was because he was too excited, but when he spoke, he was very close to Ji Feng.
Ji Feng slightly smiled and said, "Uncle Hai, this is not my good luck. The one who broke the rock was you, so if we have to talk about luck, it is all because of your good luck."Uncle Hai pointed at him with a smile and said, "Ji Feng, this piece of jade is an ice-type jade. Uncle Hai pointed at him with a smile and said," Ji Feng, this piece of jade is an ice-type jade.
Before Ji Feng could say anything, one of the bosses in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Little brother, are you selling this piece of jade? Let Uncle Hai help you estimate the price, I"ll buy it!""Old He, you"re forcing us to buy and sell them. Whoever you sell to will be decided by this little brother!" A boss laughed and said, "Little brother, I will add 10% to Uncle Hai"s valuation. Will you sell it to me?"
The rest of the people immediately followed suit. Such a large piece of jade was enough to ensure a small company"s supply for half a year without any problems. Furthermore, this piece of Icy Jade was naturally more attractive.Uncle Hai looked at Ji Feng and said with a smile, "You decide!"
Ji Feng had a faint smile on his face as he said in a clear voice, "My apologies everyone, this piece of jade has already been reserved by someone."
The others were immediately disappointed, but there were some who weren"t willing and said, "Little brother, this piece of jade is so big, it would be hard for one person to swallow it. How about this, you discuss with the person you reserved, can you give me some?""Yeah, yeah!" The others immediately echoed his words.
Ji Feng turned to look at Qin Shujie and smiled: "Chairman Qin, this matter is up to you."
"It"s Chairman Qin?"
The others also s.h.i.+fted their gazes onto Qin Shujie. When they saw that it was her, they were immediately stunned. Especially the local merchants of Jiang Prefecture, their faces revealed helplessness.
With Qin Shujie"s appearance, it was likely that he would not have any fate with this piece of jade.
This was because many people knew that Qin Shujie"s background was not small, and her company"s background was also very powerful. In this situation where there were too few monks and too few people, it would not be wise to compete with Shuyao Jewelry Company.
After all, the foreign merchants could leave at any time. As locals, they had to remain here. If the company were to have any conflicts with Shuyao Jewelry Company, it would not be worth it.
"So it was actually Chairman Qin who set this piece of jade. What a good eye you have." Businessmen loved to see the wind move. A merchant had already given up on the compet.i.tion for the emerald. Instead, he had turned around and tried to establish a relations.h.i.+p with Qin Shujie.Qin Shujie"s pretty face carried an elegant smile as her red lips parted. "You"re too kind, Boss He."
Ji Feng laughed, "Chairman Qin, according to the agreement, I will sell this piece of jade to you."
Qin Shujie nodded with a smile. She looked at Uncle Hai and said softly, "Uncle Hai, please give us an estimate."
Uncle Hai muttered to himself, "This piece of jade belongs to Ji Feng. It"s a high-quality jadeite made from ice, and its size is great. Apart from sculpting into small objects, it can also be used to make some rare big objects. But, in addition to carving and other expenses, if we just look at the price of the jade, I think it should be in the range of 45 million to 50 million! "
"Hiss!"
As soon as Uncle Hai said this, Hu Xue Hui and his sister gasped. So expensive?!
A look of disbelief appeared on Hu Xue Hui"s face. She subconsciously cried out, "How is this possible? How can a poor boy suddenly become a millionaire? A piece of emerald, how could it be so valuable?! "
Qin Shujie looked at Ji Feng and asked, "Teacher Ji, what do you think about the price?"However, Ji Feng was straightforward. He nodded and said, "Uncle Hai, this is the price you wanted."
"Speaking of which, I was the one who took advantage of you." Qin Shujie chuckled.
Ji Feng only shook his head and smiled: "Chairman Qin"s words are too polite. If not for Chairman Qin lending me over a million dollars, I would never have bought this rock, much less obtained this piece of jade!"
"Ji Feng, you"re a good kid. You"re not greedy, you"re too magnanimous!" Uncle Hai praised.
Looking at Qin Shujie ordering her people to load the jade onto the carriage, all the merchants felt it was a pity that they missed such a good opportunity.
Judging from the current situation, the best jade in the trade fair had probably been bought just like that.
In the minds of the Hu Xue Hui sisters, a word appeared: "sky-high price!"
