Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Chapter 539: The Winning Bid Was Replaced

In the evening, Uncle Nan asked Boss Xia to come and help Jiang Yanqiu and the others to interpret the jade. He also wanted to see the luck of these two people.

Although what Jiang Yanqiu and her friends bought this time was not the top-grade stuff like before, it also did not produce the imperial green.

However, all three pieces are glass-type with floating flowers, one is colorless high ice, and the other is positive glutinous ice, and none of them are too big.

Boss Xia took all the 600,000 yuan. These varieties are not too bad.

Excluding taxes and fees, Jiang Yanqiu earned a total of more than 800,000 yuan from the two jade sales.

I transferred 200,000 yuan to Uncle Nan and asked him to look for suitable houses in Nandu and buy two for them. If the money is not enough, they can transfer more.

After outsiders disappeared from the raw stone market, only a few partners were left to settle accounts, and everyone couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

At first, they were worried that the price of this batch of raw stones was too high, and they might lose money if they had to give a share to the government, so they did not agree with Qiao Lei's decision.

In the end, it was the largest shareholder, Boss Yang, who decided to support Qiao Lei. Whether they would go for the high-end route or continue to sell only kilograms of materials depended on this time.

Unexpectedly, just by bidding for that rough stone today, they all made double their money back, and the rest were pure profit!

Now everyone is praising Wang Lei, which is all within Wang Lei's expectations.

The raw stones were all good materials that she smuggled back, so she was not particularly surprised.

At this moment, his eyes fell on the remaining piece of the highest bid. After thinking for a long time, he made up his mind and said, "Let the master cut it!"

The jade boss was puzzled: "This piece of material is very good. Can't we cut it on the spot tomorrow?"

Wang Lei expressed her thoughts: "Everyone is pessimistic, which means there might be something wrong with this piece of material. If something goes wrong when we cut it open in public, it will ruin our reputation. If there is a problem now, we can still exchange it. We happen to have a similar piece in the warehouse."

Although she doesn't know how to judge jade, she trusts everyone's judgment.

She was able to cut the other piece into a higher price, but no one wanted this one, which meant there was really something wrong with the material.

In fact, there was nothing similar in the warehouse, but there was one in her space.

Although she was a little reluctant, they had finally made some progress in the raw stone market and didn't want it to be ruined.

Anyway, she didn't lose money by selling it for 660,000. The connection was that she had bought the twins in person at the mining area, buy one get one free, which was a bargain for Boss Yu and the others.

If no one asks before noon tomorrow, she will split the bidding. She won't lose anything!

As for the warehouse, she secretly arranged for the people inside to go in.

She put a piece of raw stone in, and no one would know about it, and the other partners would not know.

The jade boss still disagreed a little. After all, gambling on jade stones depends on luck, and they didn't force anyone to buy.

However, Boss Yang agreed very much: "Listen to Xiao Wang, we are not just selling kilograms of materials now. Auctions can attract many wealthy people. The profit from this auction is enough for us to earn for several years.

Even if we lose these two pieces of raw stones, we can afford it. It is better than destroying our own reputation. Let's not call a master. Let's do it ourselves to avoid gossip.

"Xiao Wang, let us, the grown men, take care of the physical work. Go and arrange other things, and then go to bed early."

Boss Yang knew Wang Lei's intention. In their line of work, they made money from rich people.

If it were other raw stones, there would be no problem in cutting them, as winning or losing in gambling on stones is common in the military, but this piece is their winning bid, and there can be no problems.

If the reputation is damaged and people don't come, the loss will be huge, so he particularly agrees with Wang Lei's approach.

Although others were somewhat reluctant, they might lose 660,000 if the chain was cut down.

But since Boss Yang had given the order, they had no choice but to do as he said and start cutting the stone.

Qiao Lei also went to do other things, there was still a lot of things to do.

Their market will be open for five days this time, and they have to restock the goods every day to ensure that there are good products every day, so as to drive the sales of other kilograms of materials.

After all the work was arranged, Wang Lei went to her space to take the high-similarity rough stone and put it in the warehouse.

The other people worked until midnight to cut it open. When they did, they were all shocked.

Everyone was full of admiration for Qiao Lei. If it weren't for her persistence, they would have suffered a great loss this time.

The water head is just average, but the key is that it is full of dense cracks, making it difficult to even take out a larger bead.

If they sold this rough stone and cut it in public, their newly established reputation would be ruined.

If a business dealing in raw stones cannot even spot such a big problem, who will dare to buy your raw stones in the future?

Wang Lei was terrified when she saw this situation, and then she said, "We have to find a way to hire two more jade appraisers at a high price. If one of them is capable, we can consider letting him join the group."

Today's jade appraisers are really no good. Many of them made mistakes today.

It would be fine if others made a mistake, but if they were so sure, they would just cut it up and sell it themselves, and let others make the money?

But I missed the crack twice in a row, and I was not thick-skinned both times.

This is their winning bid. Isn't this damaging their own reputation?

Several partners had no objection to this proposal. This jade master was indeed not very good, and this time the reputation they spent so much money to build was almost ruined.

A few people exchanged for another piece of raw stone, and it was almost dawn.

It was really hard for the six of them to carry more than a thousand kilograms of raw stones.

The next morning, Jiang Yanqiu and Jiang came again.

They wanted to see if there were any bargains to be found, and she also thought that merchants would have new materials every day.

In fact, I would like to see if there is any sucker who buys the remaining winning bid.

The price of the raw stone increased by six or seven times after it was cut yesterday. Who doesn’t want to get rich overnight? Someone will probably be unable to resist taking action today.

When Jiang Yanqiu went there, she found that the raw stone had been swapped!

This color is quite similar to the top-grade imperial green she bought last time, and it is much better than the one she bought yesterday.

And the pattern is not as dense as yesterday's, like Spider-Man. Now there are only some on the periphery.

Needless to say, it must have been replaced. It seems that the boss behind the scenes is still very powerful and can get two very similar raw stones.

Jiang Yanqiu turned to Chu Tingnan and said, "How about we buy the remaining top bidders?"

Chu Tingnan said doubtfully, "This is not good. Yesterday you were not optimistic about it, and no one else was optimistic about it either. Why should we still buy it?"

Jiang Yanqiu lowered her voice and said, "The winning bidder has been replaced. It's not the one from yesterday. Yesterday's piece had more scratches, but this one has fewer, and it's a little rounder than yesterday's."

Chu Tingnan looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was, but he believed in his wife.

He nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a gamble. We've made 660,000 yuan from this anyway, so even if we fail, we won't lose anything."

The two hit it off and immediately went to pay the deposit.

They had to wait until the money was paid before they could cut the raw stone. The two of them didn't bring that much money.

When Boss Yu saw that the two people wanted to buy the highest bid, he was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, will these two young people like Yu?

Last time, the people below came to report that the two of them bought the raw stone weighing more than 600 kilograms without even looking at it, and no one was optimistic about that raw stone.

It came again now, and I didn’t seem to look at it carefully, but just paid for it.

But since people offered him money to buy it, there was no reason for him to refuse.

Although the material has been changed, the selling price is still 660,000. Adding the cost of yesterday's piece, they still make a profit.

After paying the deposit, Jiang Yanqiu continued to look at the raw stones, while Chu Tingnan went back to get the money.

They haven’t deposited the money from selling the jadeite yesterday yet, and they have to go back to the Nan family to get it.

Since the money was not enough, Chu Tingnan asked his uncle Nan to borrow some.

When Uncle Nan heard that they wanted to buy the remaining winning bid, he almost fainted.

After a long pause, he said, "Master Xiangyu said that the winning bid yesterday was not good. It had a lot of cracks and was afraid that the inside was also cracked. Why did you still buy it?"

Chu Tingnan didn't hide anything and said half-truthfully, "They've already replaced it with a new one. My wife said it must be a good one. They made such a big splash yesterday, they definitely won't ruin their reputation. They'll replace it with a good one. If no one buys it, they'll definitely cut off a piece and put it up for auction."

Chu Tingnan made up the following words himself, fearing that people would suspect his wife, but he felt that if the merchant really replaced the raw stone, he would definitely have this idea.

Uncle Nan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped: "It was replaced? Then I'll take Master Xiangyu with you to take a look. If there are still problems, then don't buy it. Losing a little deposit is better than losing 660,000."

Uncle Nan still trusts Chu Tingnan very much. Yesterday, many people were eyeing the three largest pieces, but they found that the smaller piece had too many cracks and no one dared to touch it.

The price of that piece was increased yesterday, and the boss must have noticed the problem.

It is not impossible to replace it with a new one, but I don’t know if it will be as good as the one I had yesterday.

This time, not to mention Aunt Nan and Nan Wanwu, even the old man and the old lady ran to see what was going on.

Six hundred and sixty thousand is not a small amount of money. These two kids were so bold that they took action without saying a word.

As soon as Wang Lei arrived at the scene, she knew that the winning bid had been sold. She was a little surprised. She didn't expect someone to act so quickly.

She originally wanted to communicate with the buyer to test whether the other party had discovered that the material had been replaced.

But when she saw that the buyer was Jiang Yanqiu, she changed her mind.

She couldn't have direct contact with her old acquaintances. She had been trying hard to change herself, and it would be easy for her to be exposed in front of her acquaintances.

So she went to Boss Yu to inquire about Jiang Yanqiu's situation and asked, "Do you know anything about that customer?"

The jade boss was just about to find someone to complain to when she immediately said, "She's been here a few times, but she doesn't seem to know much about jade. She bought that 600-kilogram rough stone that no one was optimistic about, without even looking at it. Yesterday she bought another 7-kilogram piece of jade, and it's all green, but the water content isn't very good."

Wang Lei asked again: "Do you know her situation?"

Boss Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Judging from his accent, he seems to be from the north."

Wang Lei thought to herself, "I didn't know she was from the north. I sighed and asked again, 'Do you think she went to raise money yesterday, or did she buy it today because she found out the original stone had been replaced?'"
