Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 23 Getting Rich
in the afternoon.

Longyuan Trading Company VIP Room.

Jiang Yubai sat to the side chatting with Ji Fuyou.

In another room not far away, three highly professional-looking appraisers were appraising several tactical watches and a gemstone ring.

"So, Mr. Jiang doesn't mind where these items came from?"

"What's there to mind?"

Jiang Yubai laughed and said, "A few tactical watches and a gemstone ring, with no distinguishing features, can be refurbished and resold. Who would know who the original owner was?"

As he spoke, he added meaningfully, "Besides, the order within the fog is not what we know."

"no the same?"

Ji Fuyou's heart stirred.

Jiang Yubai had spoken with Ji Fuyou a few times and already knew that Ji was a newcomer to the Misty World.

However, wealthy people like him are happy to offer any help they can, doing him a favor when he is still struggling.

"When it comes to the issue of order, we have to talk about the randomness of the fog."

Jiang Yubai sipped his dessert: "Currently, most of the fog appears randomly in the wilderness without any pattern. On the contrary, human cities seem to have a barrier against the fog."

He paused, then continued, "There are rumors that the Mist may possess a rudimentary consciousness. As a result, electronic devices that it 'does not recognize' are unusable. Furthermore, the countless beings gathered together in the city possess a colossal spiritual will that makes the Mist's consciousness tremble with fear..."

The fog is conscious.

This wasn't the first time Ji Fuyou had heard this claim.

"Of course, it's just hearsay, take it with a grain of salt."

Jiang Yubai smiled and waved his hand.

"But these rumors have already caused panic, haven't they?"

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Correct."

Jiang Yubai nodded: "If one day, that 'He' sees through the outward strength but inner weakness of the vast spiritual collective of human cities and suddenly descends upon them, what do you think will happen?"

what happened?
A fog descended, and all electronic instruments became ineffective.

Limited field of vision!

Communication interrupted!

Weapon malfunction!

Ji Fuyou then recalled the immense power of the human-web spider monsters…

If this were to happen, it would be a disaster for the entire city.

The key is……

If the future situation develops as depicted in Ji's dream, it will only be a matter of time before the fog descends upon the city.

Even if the rumors are wild and the idea of ​​a fog of consciousness is just unnecessary worry, the appearance of the fog is random. Who can guarantee that it won't randomly appear in a city?

Jiang Yubai's expression turned slightly serious: "Especially as the fog appears more and more frequently and over an increasingly larger area."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

"The World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament has driven up the price of Source Crystals, but isn't the soaring price of Source Crystals a harbinger of widespread anxiety?"

Jiang Yubai said, "In order to obtain more source crystals, those big shots are trying to provide lenient policies to allow more people to enter the mist. In the mist, they fight against alien beasts and practice the law of the jungle. Whether they are hunters or big shots from the outside world, they all have to adapt to local customs."

"No regulation?"

Ji Fuyou suddenly realized.

"The more control there is, the slower the development becomes. Those big shots at the top understand this better than we do. In the past, they interfered in various places to consolidate their power. But the Mist is inherently difficult to govern, and the production of Source Crystals is related to their safety, so..."

Jiang Yubai sighed: "Not only will we not control it, but we will also provide certain conveniences when necessary, so that both the hunters who bring the source crystals can get what they need."

Just then, a voice came from outside.

"Boss, Ms. Xingyu has arrived."

"Star Rain".

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai introduced Ji Fuyou: "My younger sister, Jiang Xingyu, graduated from the Federal University of Gemology with a master's degree in gem identification. Her graduation thesis won the Best Creativity Award. She participated in the 'Dzi Beads' Time Wrinkles collaborative project, and her work was included in the school's permanent exhibition. She also worked on the restoration of 'Silk Road Illusion,' which was a complete success..."

He explained for a moment, but when he saw that Ji Fuyou didn't show any reaction, he realized that Ji probably didn't understand any of this.

He smiled and said, "Come on, with her appraisal, she can definitely give you an accurate price for that sapphire."

As they spoke, she led him out of the lounge.

Outside the lounge, in addition to the original three staff members, a woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties was carefully examining the blue gemstone.

The cuffs of her beige knit sweater had slipped down halfway, revealing her slender wrists. Bright white light, accompanied by the warm air from the air conditioner, gently blew her long, smooth, black hair.

She habitually tapped her chin with her slender index finger, the pearl tassels on her earlobes like a ray of starlight, making her profile resemble a meticulously painted portrait on rice paper. This was a woman whose looks were slightly inferior to Yu Xiaoyu's, but whose attire and temperament were in no way inferior.

"So, was your assessment accurate?"

Jiang Yubaidao.

"You underestimated me, didn't you?"

The woman looked up and smoothed her hair: "This is a 5.02-carat unheated cornflower blue sapphire. Its color saturation reaches the 'vivid blue' level, and it doesn't show the color banding commonly seen in Burmese sapphires—I speculate that it comes from the Padma mine in Sri Lanka, but the ultraviolet fluorescence is 0.3 points stronger than that of typical mineral sources, indicating that titanium replaced some of the iron during mineralization..."

As she spoke, she was radiant, her face brimming with confidence and poise.

The radiant glow that came with this kind of temperament was something Ji Fuyou had never seen in any other woman he knew.

"Alright, alright, I know you're good at this. Name the price."

Jiang Yubai waved his hand to interrupt.

"Based on GIA's auction data from the past three years, the hammer price for this gem at the Tiandu Auction should be between 180 million and 220 million."

What is our selling price?

Jiang Yubai turned to another middle-aged man.

The man glanced at Ji Fuyou.

"Speak directly."

“Several tactical watches are quite valuable. We can refurbish and resell them for 20 to 25 yuan. This sapphire, after being polished again and deducting labor costs, can be sold for 150 million to 200 million yuan.”

"Then 210 million!"

Jiang Yubai said directly, "I'll handle the tax matters."

The middle-aged man was taken aback and opened his mouth as if to say something.

But Jiang Yubai didn't give him a chance, turning directly to Ji Fuyou: "What do you think, Brother Ji?"

"can."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

The figure of 210 million was much higher than the price he found.

He originally thought these items could only be sold for around 150 million.

"Haha, let's use an account first? I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you right away."

Jiang Yubai said with a smile.

"I'll do it."

As Jiang Xingyu operated the device, she said, "Mr. Ji, you can contact me directly if you have any gems or valuable items for sale in the future."

“Xingyu is much more professional than me. You can go directly to her and she can tell you the approximate price of what you want to sell at a glance. You don’t have to waste half an hour like I did.”

Jiang Yubai said with a smile.

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou nodded politely.

"Want to add each other as friends and stay in touch?"

Jiang Xingyu raised her phone.

"can."

Ji Fuyou politely added Jiang Xingyu.

"If Mr. Ji has any source crystals to sell in the future, he may wish to give priority to our Longyuan Chamber of Commerce. The price will be based on the latest auction bid."

Jiang Xingyu's eyes were filled with longing: "I have never identified a real source crystal before, and I don't know how source crystals are different from other gemstones. I hope Mr. Ji can help me broaden my horizons."

She looked at Ji Fuyou with bright eyes: "The last time the source crystal was auctioned for 1050 million, the auction price is the price Mr. Ji will receive."

This is equivalent to giving a premium for taxes and handling fees.

"If Yuanjing makes a move, I will contact Miss Jiang immediately."

"Then it's settled. We'll be ready to answer Mr. Ji's call at any time."

Jiang Xingyu gave a playful fingertip salute.

Full of energy.

Ji Fuyou smiled and received a text message on his phone.

"Ding!"
