Chapter 48: Harvesting Stones
"Oh, handsome boy, handsome boy! Don't leave!" The female internet celebrity's voice behind her became farther and farther away...
"Hello, welcome to Yubaotang!"
In front of the gate, the antique facade decoration and the beautiful greeting lady in cheongsam made Meng Yan feel a lot more comfortable again. He asked them about the location of the rough stone area, and Meng Yan went all the way to the destination.
.
With a capital of 180,000 yuan, the only feasible way to turn it into one million yuan before Yubao Hall closes today is to go to the Jade District to gamble on the materials. After all, the cost of opening the window stone is too high, and you only have this little.
Money cannot tolerate his mistakes.
The Mongolian material is a raw stone that has not been cut. It looks like a stone from the outside. The price is generally very low, and the natural fault tolerance rate is also higher.
Although in fact, most of the cuts inside are really just rocks, there is still a small part with green inside.
As long as the demon pupil is there, Meng Yan is confident that he can collect one million before sunset.
Many green friends who come to Yubaotang mostly go to the area with windows to buy rough stones. After all, green materials are much safer than buying blind materials, and most of the people watching are concentrated in the window areas.
After all, who would watch the excitement and point at a pile of stones in the blanket area?
Therefore, compared to other areas, the masked area is relatively sparse and quiet.
Meng Yan himself is also a low-key person and doesn't like crowded places. The sparse crowds in the Mongolian Materials Area made him feel very relaxed.
Meng Yan shuttled between the rough stones and opened the magic pupil.
I don’t know why, but today’s magic pupil feels particularly easy to use. In the past, Meng Yan would have to take a break after opening the magic pupil for five minutes.
But today, more than ten minutes have passed, and Meng Yan didn't feel any discomfort even with the magic eyes on.
The dazzling array of rough stones of various sizes kept passing in front of Meng Yan, and Meng Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Sure enough, the glutinous ice species and the glass species are things that can only be found but not found on the street.
Even at Yubaotang, the largest jade market in Lake City, when Meng Yan walked over ten minutes ago, he only saw two pieces of jade of the grade of Fushou White and Huangyang Green in a combination of colors.
Of course, Meng Yan has taken them down. No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. If he can find a dozen of these inferior jadeite, he will buy them all. After deducting the cost, even if he can’t get a bracelet, he can buy a few pendants and the like.
One hundred thousand is still possible.
Half an hour later, Meng Yan's eyes finally felt a little tired, and his continuous use of the magic pupil made his spirit need a rest.
Meng Yan found a chair and sat down, looking at the materials in his hands, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Although there were enough materials in Yubaotang for him to browse, it took him half an hour to get these two pieces of materials.
It was almost noon now, and although there was still most of the day, Meng Yan felt less confident with just two items in his hand.
You must know that he can have magic eyes, unlike other people who have to hold a flashlight and look at the rough stone for a long time, then pick up the rough stone and touch it for a long time, and finally ponder for a long time before buying or leaving with hesitation.
He can basically confirm whether there is jade in the rough stone by just glancing at the outside of the rough stone.
After resting, Meng Yan walked to the service counter with two pieces of food and handed them to the waiter.
"I want both pieces of material. Keep them for me. I'll come back later to calculate the money."
The waiter nodded with a professional smile, gave Meng Yan a slip to sign, and then handed Meng Yan the key to a safe.
All his rough stones will be stored in the cabinet, and you can just come and pick them up when the time comes.
About two hours later, Meng Yan brought in five more pieces of material one after another and deposited them in the safe.
Although they are all not very valuable jadeite, but when accumulated, these materials can earn him more than 200,000 yuan after deducting the cost.
It is already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are gradually more and more people in Yubao Hall. Most of them are melon-eating people who come to watch cutting stones, and there are also many live-streaming Internet celebrities among them.
Of course, this group of people is mainly concentrated in the window area. Those materials with clear price tags of hundreds of thousands or millions will go to heaven and hell with one knife.
People who eat melons will see buyers hesitant or generously spending hundreds of thousands or millions to buy a piece of material and then cut it off with a knife, or they will be dejected and doubtful about life when they encounter a stone cut in half.
Either he throws his head back and laughs when he encounters two pieces of sparkling jade with faceted faces, and is ecstatic. The drama is much more interesting than the petty fight with the rough stones that don't exceed 50,000 yuan at most.
Meng Yan continued to walk around the rough stone area and suddenly stopped.
On the countertop of the shop, a rough stone weighing more than 30 kilograms was priced at 10,000 yuan, which attracted his attention.
"Huh? Full of eggplant purple?" Meng Yan exclaimed in his heart.
The jade mine produces not only jade, but also jade of various colors.
The light emitted from the rough stone in front of me is not emerald-like green, but pure purple mixed with some white light.
This is a purple jade stone.
Compared with green, purple jade generally has coarser particles and stronger graininess. In the meaning of jade in the Xia Kingdom, it represents a symbol of wealth. Many businessmen like to collect handicrafts made of this jade.
The thirty kilograms of material in front of me weighs about ten kilograms excluding the stone part inside, and its shape is very regular. It is easy to cut out five or six bracelets, and the remaining scraps can also be used to make some small ornaments.
Just such a piece, based on the current market price of a pair of eggplant purple bracelets is about 200,000 yuan, and a piece of jade weighing 20 kilograms, the market price is about 800,000 yuan.
Now, plus the previous materials, one million is more than enough.
Meng Yan was so happy that she couldn't help but stretched out her hand, wanting to take the original stone to her side and take a closer look.
A pair of delicate arms suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed Meng Yan's other shoulder with lightning speed. Meng Yan was hit by the sudden force and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Little handsome boy! Why are you here too? We are really destined!" The female internet celebrity grabbed Meng Yan's shoulders and looked at Meng Yan with a smile.
"Who is it!" Meng Yan almost fell down and her tone was a little sullen.
Stabilizing his body, Meng Yan followed the jade hands holding his shoulders and looked to the side. A young beauty was holding a mobile phone gimbal and smiling at him, with a look of admiration in her eyes.
"You're not the one in the square in the morning..." Meng Yan looked confused.
"Oh! Little handsome guy still remembers me!" When the female internet celebrity heard Meng Yan's words, she couldn't help but feel happy. At that moment, barrages appeared in the live broadcast room.
"Oh! We are actually betting on stones. Sure enough, Wenwen is attracted to a wealthy young man!"
"Betting on stones is a game for rich people. Goddess Wenwen wants him to open one to open our eyes!"
There was a noise in the live broadcast room, and the female anchor raised her head and looked at Meng Yan with a smile.
