Corporate slave? Pshaw, I'm the richest woman now!
Chapter 16 The 1 Million Yuan Violet
Everyone present became excited, the atmosphere was instantly ignited, and the others watching were also a little itchy to join in.
"Come on, jade gambling master, show us your skills."
Even without Wang Feiyan urging her, Tang Tang was already itching to make a move.
Jade gambling often involves stakes of millions, which is unaffordable for most young people. The three men, with their youthful appearance and fashionable attire, stood out somewhat among the group of middle-aged business owners.
Seeing Tang Tang and her two companions circling around the stones, the stall owner walked over with a smile, "You must be the ones recommended by Manager Wang, right? All my stones are raw stones from Myanmar, and the quality is excellent."
Especially since they just unearthed a piece of icy jade.
"So, Little Sugar, did you see any good stones?"
Wang Feiyan knew nothing about these things, and Jiang Ran was the same. The two of them could only follow Tang Tang around until Tang Tang stopped in front of a stone in a corner.
???
Wang Feiyan was silent for a moment, then cautiously asked Tang Tang, "Tang, don't tell me you've taken a liking to this one."
It's no wonder he's in such a bad situation; this rock is really huge. Anyone who doesn't know better would think it's a Taishan stone guardian placed at someone's door to ward off evil spirits.
Jiang Ran was clearly a little surprised as well, and he hesitated before asking, "This piece?"
"Hmm, I want this one." Tang Tang stared at the stone in front of her, thinking that even this pitted and mottled stone was incredibly beautiful.
My mind is filled with images of naked, winged children shouting through megaphones.
"Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!!!"
Your expertise in jade gambling is really quite remarkable.
Tang Tang sighed and asked Wang Feiyan to call the boss.
Jiang Ran reached out and touched the stone, then looked at Tang Tang's affectionate gaze at the stone, and felt inexplicably trust Tang Tang.
Moreover, this was for his mother's birthday. Although Tang Tang said she would take care of it herself, he couldn't let Tang Tang pay for it alone.
This makes no sense.
Besides, even if he loses everything gambling, it's only a few million, a small amount of money.
So he said, "In that case, I'll pay half the money."
!! ?
Tang Tang was also shocked by Jiang Ran. The reason this stone was left behind was because of its large size, and the final transaction price was estimated to be extremely high.
The stone's appearance was also ordinary, not like it would yield jade, and no one wanted to take the risk.
But does Jiang Ran really trust her that much?
Tang Tang felt a little awkward, but didn't know what to say. She could only cough awkwardly and assure Jiang Ran that he wouldn't lose money.
"Tangtang, I'm here! You really think highly of Shi Gandang?"
When the boss arrived, he was followed by a group of onlookers. After all, no one expected that someone would actually be so stubborn as to want to buy this giant rock.
When they got there, they realized that the people who wanted to buy the stones were three young men, and some of the shop owners in the crowd recognized Wang Feiyan.
"Young Master Wang? Did you buy this stone?"
"Hey, this rock is very risky. The boss quoted 1000 million last time."
1000 million!
"Oh no! What if this cut doesn't work..."
Wang Feiyan shook his head, "It wasn't me, it was my younger sister who bought it."
All eyes turned to Tang Tang, followed by surprise and confusion.
"Whose daughter is this?"
"You should say, whose spendthrift son is this?"
The stall owner hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tang Tang and advised, "Miss, this is a one-off deal; if you lose, you won't get your money back."
Tang Tang smiled confidently, handed her card to the shopkeeper, and said, "Swipe the card! Cut it now!"
"Wow, which girl has such courage?"
The quick-witted boss stepped forward and handed Tang Tang his business card, "Hello, Miss, I am Song Liang, the owner of Jiu Cui Xuan."
Basically everyone present knew a little about jade gambling, and judging from the appearance and size of this behemoth, it was basically a waste of money.
Nobody had high hopes for Tang Tang.
"Manager Song, my surname is Tang."
"Miss Tang, this is quite a big deal. Even experts wouldn't dare touch this stone."
After all, if the gamble goes wrong, it would mean losing everything.
Tang Tang chuckled, shook her head, and pointed to Jiang Ran beside her, "This isn't just mine."
"Oh dear, I was blind to your greatness. May I ask who this gentleman is?"
Wang Feiyan smiled and put his arm around Jiang Ran's shoulder. "This is my childhood friend, his surname is Jiang."
Wang Shao's childhood friend is surnamed Jiang!
At this moment, those who hadn't come up to hand over their business cards earlier regretted it, but Jiang Ran only accepted one of Song Liang's business cards along with Tang Tang.
The bosses below initially thought Tang Tang was a female companion brought by Wang Feiyan and Jiang Ran, but after Wang Feiyan introduced her, they were still confused.
Which family's daughter could make Young Master Jiang and Young Master Wang willingly follow behind and accompany them in such extravagance?
Tang Tang didn't care at all about the stares from those people. She just watched as the boss instructed several strong men to transport Tang Tang's jadeite rough to the cutting area.
She was an expert in gambling on jade stones, but she didn't know what the jade inside actually looked like. At first, she thought her expertise in gambling on jade stones was similar to X-ray vision, but it turned out to be a strange sixth sense, which really piqued her curiosity.
The master craftsman's hands were steady. Although the stone was very large, he still found the right angle and started the machine to slowly polish it.
Layer after layer of stone skin was ground away, but no trace of jade was ever seen, not even the worst kind of jadeite.
The onlookers' hearts pounded as each layer of polishing was done.
At this moment, some people began to whisper among themselves, "Hey, I told you, it's unlikely that such a big rock would contain jade."
"This little girl just isn't good enough."
"Little Sugar, it's okay! Everyone makes mistakes, don't worry, that bastard Jiang Ran is rich."
Tang Tang remained calm and composed, waving her hand as she listened to Wang Feiyan's words of comfort. However, she glanced at Jiang Ran beside her and noticed that he seemed completely unconcerned as well.
"Brother Jiang Ran, don't you regret it at all? That's five million!"
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow. "It's only five million. If you really lose the bet, consider it a gift from me."
Goodness, what else could Tang Tang say but that the boss was incredibly generous?
But she still trusted her beloved system, so she gestured for Wang Feiyan to relax, "Don't be nervous, I really think it will work."
By this time, the craftsman had been grinding for almost twenty minutes, and the bosses below were all shaking their heads.
"Out."
Tang Tang stared at the jadeite gradually losing its blackish-gray outer layer, revealing its true color, and chuckled, "It's here! Auspicious purple clouds are coming from the east!"
"It's out! It's really out!"
Those who had just been grumbling that it was impossible to find jade were immediately proven wrong, staring in disbelief at the purple color gradually emerging from the stone.
"Don't push, let me see!!"
"Purple? Is it purple? What kind is it?"
Those who were just predicting the worst now crowded to the front, eager to get a peek.
Undistracted, the craftsman slowly, but with slightly trembling hands, removed the remaining stone skin.
"My God, what a rich purple!"
Exposed jadeite is a mysterious and deep purple, even deeper than the color of a violet flower.
Generally speaking, the more intense the color of jadeite, the worse its texture and clarity. Therefore, jadeite on the market is either colorful but lacking in texture, or has good texture but lacks color.
This piece of jadeite from Tangtang is not only a rich purple in color, but its texture is also close to high-grade ice, with a clear and lustrous quality. In the summer of July, it shines with an icy translucency in the evening sunset.
"Miss Tang, are you selling this jadeite?"
No one bid for Tang Tang's jade this time because the piece was too large and of such high quality that it would require at least several parties to join forces or allocate funds to acquire it.
However, all the jewelers present looked at Tang Tang with burning eyes.
Some people were so envious they almost cried. Before Tang Tang and her group arrived, quite a few people had lost money gambling, but Tang Tang won on her gamble, and everything went up. Who wouldn't be envious?!
It's worth noting that the color and texture of this jadeite are second only to the old mine glass-type imperial green.
A single bracelet can fetch at least a million dollars.
And Tang Tang's stone...
They couldn't get it even for 100 million!
