Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

After all the rough stones Ye Yu had selected turned out to be green, Gao Weiming was beginning to believe that Ye Yu's luck was exceptionally good.

So he and Ye Yu began to study the route for cutting the square stone.

They first removed the artificially glued parts, and then, with Ye Yu's intentional or unintentional reminders, drew the lines.

Next, two craftsmen pushed the large raw stone to the front of the large cutting machine, set up the machine, and began cutting.

As the raw stones began to be cut, the shop owner who sold the stones to Ye Yu was filled with regret.

It turned out that just after Shi Tou was pulled away by Ye Yu and the others, the boss's friend arrived at his stall, sweating profusely.

Seeing that the stone was missing, he hurriedly asked, "Where's the square stone that was placed here before?"

"I sold it. I sold it for eight thousand yuan."

"What? You sold it? Do you even know how much it was worth?"

The shop owner impatiently picked at his ear and said, "Why are you shouting like that? That stone is mine now, and I can sell it for whatever price I want."

“What a huge loss! My dad found that stone in the mining area. He observed it for many days before he was 80% sure that it could yield imperial jadeite. To prevent others from coveting it, he glued the stone back on. He was so excited that he fell and passed out. He only just woke up and told me about it.”

"Impossible! I've examined that stone repeatedly, how could it possibly yield imperial green?" The shop owner couldn't believe it.

"If you open up the glued parts, you'll see what's going on."

The boss reacted immediately: "Enough talk, let's go get it back first."

After saying that, he ran towards Ye Yu and the others.

But it was too late; by the time they arrived, the stone had already been cut.

People around gathered around when they saw that such a large rough stone was about to be cut, since it's rare to see such a large rough stone being cut.

The machine first cut off the glued stones, revealing the grayish-white stones inside.

Seeing this, everyone sighed. More than a third of it had been cut off, and when the light shone on it, it was still a hazy gray. It was estimated that it would never turn green.

While everyone was still discussing, the cutting technician adjusted the machine's position and began cutting the second line.

Once the blade was removed from the raw stone, and the craftsman began to wash the stone with water, he first noticed a hint of emerald green inside.

He exclaimed excitedly, "It's imperial green, and a full green at that! The color is so intense!"

Hearing his excited voice, everyone crowded around him: "It's true, it really is Imperial Green!"

"It's been a long time since anyone has found this Imperial Green jadeite, and it's actually appeared here today."

"Look at this color, it's so beautiful, without a single impurity."

"Yes, the water pressure is very high, it looks like it's about to flow down."

"With this water source, just making necklaces and earrings would fetch millions."

"But we need to take another look. What if this is the only floor?"

"makes sense."

Everyone nodded.

News of the discovery of Imperial Green jadeite in the cutting area spread quickly, attracting a growing number of onlookers.

The cutter asked Ye Yu, "Boss, are you still cutting?"

Ye Yu nodded: "Go ahead."

Hearing Ye Yu's instructions, the cutting master solemnly positioned the stone at the correct angle and, with a snap, pressed the switch.

The noise of the machine cutting couldn't drown out the excited heartbeats of the crowd. They all held their breath, watching the blade leave the raw stone.

"Thump thump thump"

The cutter rinsed the raw stone with water, and when he saw that touch of emerald green again, his excited voice split into two: "It's green again! It's green again!"

"boom!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

"My God, such a large piece of imperial green jade, how much is it worth?"

"This is about the size of a washbasin, isn't it?"

“People have offered it before, but it was only the size of a bowl, and it sold for a high price of 80 million.”

Gao Weimin, standing next to Ye Yu, was also flushed with excitement. "Miss Ye Yu, this is actually Imperial Green! It's actually Imperial Green from an old mine, glassy variety!"

Ye Yu was also very happy. She had heard that a bowl-sized piece of imperial green jadeite had sold for 80 million, so hers must be worth at least 200 to 300 million.

A short, stout, balding middle-aged man approached Ye Yu and Liu Xi, smiling as he introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Liu Xi, and I'm the owner here."

"Hello, my name is Ye Yu. This is my advisor, Gao Weimin." Ye Yu smiled at Liu Xi.

“I used to deal with Mr. Gao quite often.” Liu Xi shook hands with Gao Weimin with a smile.

He asked, "I wonder what Miss Ye Yu plans to do with this piece of imperial green jade?"

"Of course it was sold," Ye Yu replied without hesitation.

"Oh, that's wonderful. I happen to have an auction house here. I wonder if Miss Ye Yu would do me the honor of holding the auction here?"

Liu Xi smiled, her face crinkling with wrinkles: "If you hold the auction here, I will definitely expand the scope of the announcement so that interested people can come here to bid, and I will definitely get you a satisfactory price."

Ye Yu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, it's more convenient to hold the auction here."

"Hahaha, thank you for gracing me with your presence, Miss Ye Yu." Liu Xi was very happy.

He took Ye Yu and Gao Weimin to the reception room, treated them to good food and drinks, and had his assistant arrange their accommodations.

Ye Yu and Gao Weimin settled in with peace of mind. They told her that the auction was scheduled for five days from now, and Ye Yu nodded in agreement.

The next day, Ye Yu cut out the stones she had selected the day before, and unsurprisingly, they all turned out to be green, but the quality was average.

At Gao Weimin's suggestion, Ye Yu took the item directly to the auction house.

Including the high-quality jadeite that was previously sold, the total proceeds amounted to 90 million.

In Ye Yu's view, gambling on jade is incredibly profitable, with low costs and high selling prices.

Looking at Gao Weimin, who was beaming with joy, she suddenly had an idea.

She asked Gao Weimin, "I wonder what Mr. Gao's plans are after the auction?"

Gao Weimin had clearly thought about this issue: "I plan to find a job at a jewelry company after the auction, and occasionally work part-time as a jade gambling consultant, to pay off my debts first. I've thought a lot about this these past two days; turning your life around through gambling is ultimately only possible for a few people."

"Why don't you come and work for me, Mr. Gao? I'm planning to open a jewelry company. You're very knowledgeable about this industry, so I'll give you 10% of the shares. What do you say?"

Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, Gao Weimin's eyes lit up instantly. He wanted to shake Ye Yu's hand to express his gratitude, but fearing it would be impolite, he could only bow repeatedly.

"Miss Ye Yu, I don't know how to thank you enough. We've never met before, yet you trust me so much. I really..."

Gao Weimin was already in tears and couldn't speak.

He felt as if he had fallen from heaven to the mud in the past two months, suffering all kinds of hardships and scorn. He thought he would be burdened with debt for the rest of his life, but then he met Ye Yu!

Gao Weimin made up his mind that he would follow Ye Yugan for the rest of his life.

Seeing Gao Weimin's excitement and his determined expression, Ye Yu began to make plans in her mind.

She wanted to give Gao Weimin shares for two reasons: first, to make him work willingly; and second, because he was experienced in the jewelry industry, she felt confident entrusting him with management in the future.
