Chapter 76: She Actually Helped Him
"This piece, number sixty-one, is actually worth no more than twenty million. If you bid any further, you'll lose money."
"Miss Jiang, are you worried that I'll lose money? That doesn't make sense. Are you trying to stop me from making a fortune under the guise of helping me?"
This guy is quite wary.
Although he was very wary of what he said earlier, and even showed a hint of disdain, Jiang Qianhui didn't care and spoke casually.
"That rough stone will yield high-quality icy jadeite, but the quantity is limited, and there are large cracks. Its total value will not exceed 20 million. If you bid again, you will lose several million."
Gu Xunjing raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss Jiang, why are you so sure? If you think buying this rough stone will be a loss, given your relationship with Zhan Yanxun, how can you let him bid and watch him jump into a fire pit?"
"Zhan Yanxun has his eye on that rough jade because of Jiaren. Since that's the case, we can't take what he wants away. Even if we lose money, we can treat it as a lesson he learned."
"Miss Jiang, you are truly generous."
They weren't speaking loudly, but Zhan Yanxun heard them all. This woman was actually helping another man instead of him.
Before Jiang Qianhui could speak, no one else made a bid.
Zhan Yanxun successfully bid for stone number 61. Qiao Weiwei excitedly said, "President Zhan, you won this stone! This stone will definitely yield a glassy imperial green jadeite."
Jiang Qianhui walked over, originally intending to watch the commotion, but upon hearing Qiao Weiwei's words, she softly retorted.
"If it were glass-type jadeite, you could make a profit by bidding on it, but unfortunately, that one is just ice-type jadeite with cracks inside. Not many pieces can be made into bracelets, so Zhan will definitely lose money."
"Mr. Jiang, how can you be so sure? Mr. Jiang can't let you get a bargain just because you did it once and then think you're a fortune teller."
"Whether it is or not, you'll know once you cut it open."
The much-anticipated No. 61 rough stone, cut open by the stone-cutting machine, was highly regarded by many. It was indeed a high-grade icy jadeite, but a large crack inside rendered it unsuitable for making bracelets, significantly reducing its value. Having been auctioned for over 20 million, it seems the buyer will lose money.
Seeing this scene, I was shocked. I never expected this woman to be so capable.
Jiang Qianhui said calmly, "Gu Xunjing, if I hadn't stopped you, you would be the one who lost money now. Remember to owe me a favor."
Jiang Qianhui would stop Gu Xunjing from continuing to bid because she knew that Zhan Yanxun had always been a very calm person. If Gu Xunjing continued to raise the price, he would most likely not continue to follow, since he always put the company's interests first.
He would give up if he couldn't make money, which would leave Gu Xunjing with a losing proposition. That wouldn't do. He wanted to learn a lesson from this experience. Besides, although Gu Xunjing was a bit of a fool, her family was a large corporation, and there might be opportunities for future cooperation.
"You're quite an interesting woman, deliberately trying to make your husband pay you back."
"Doesn't she have a strategist by her side? If her strategist values this stone so much, why doesn't he give it to her?"
"You're really calm."
"Because that's not what I care about. What I care about now is a stone that can yield imperial green jade."
When Zhan Yanxun saw that the stone had been cut out, just as Jiang Qianhui had described, he was somewhat shocked. He looked at Jiang Qianhui and saw that she looked no different from usual, but why did he feel that she had an unsettling sharpness about her?
"President Zhan, President Jiang is truly amazing. She accurately predicted that this is a high-grade ice variety and that there are large cracks. But since she was so confident, why didn't she stop you earlier? Instead, she clung to Gu Xunjing. I wonder if she considers herself a member of the Zhan family?"
"You should know your place. You'd better shut up if you're not going to say something."
"President Zhan, I'm sorry, but I just don't understand why President Jiang isn't helping you, but instead is helping Gu Xunjing?"
Zhan Yanxun's hands were clenched tightly.
Seeing Zhan Yanxun's displeased expression as the stone was cut, Jiang Qianhui knew he was in a bad mood. Since she was already in a good mood, she didn't need to add insult to injury. Her immediate priority was to find her imperial jadeite.
Based on her memories from her previous life, Jiang Qianhui knew that this piece of imperial green jade had been snagged for a bargain at three hundred yuan. It was said that a window had been opened in it, but no green was visible, and the surface had many cracks. Its shape was oval.
Jiang Qianhui began searching based on her memory, with Gu Xunjing following closely behind. After all, he found this woman quite interesting.
"If you're looking for imperial jadeite, you shouldn't be looking here. These are all raw stones that are going to be discarded. This place is a place where people who haven't entered the industry pay a few dozen or a few hundred yuan to get a taste of the trade and learn a lesson. It's ridiculous for you to be looking for it here."
"Found it, this is it."
Jiang Qianhui ignored Gu Xunjing's words and picked up a stone from the lowest pile of stones.
"This piece! It's all black on the outside, without any moss or pine flower patterns. It's obviously a piece of waste material and can't possibly turn into green."
"I want this stone."
"5000 yuan."
The stall owner quoted a price, and Jiang Qianhui laughed, saying, "It's clearly written on this stone, 50 to 1000 yuan. Do you really think I'm a sucker? Or is there simply no order in this jade market? Should I clean it up?"
At this moment, Old Qin walked over and said, "Old Huang, this is not fair. These stones are performing so poorly. It would be fine if you sold them cheaper, as they were for beginners to learn from. But now you're trying to inflate the price. You shouldn't be doing this."
When the stall owner heard what Old Qin said, he didn't dare to refute it. After all, if he offended Old Qin, he wouldn't be able to make a living in the jade market in the future.
"Miss, then you can give me 1000."
"Although this piece of rough jade is cheap, it has many obvious cracks. In our trade, it's considered scrap and is worth far more than 1000 yuan. Girl, why did you buy it?"
While Qin Lao was speaking, Jiang Qianhui had already paid the money.
“Originally, I wouldn’t have cared about the 4000 yuan, since this piece could yield imperial green jade. But since you’ve already put a price tag on it, I can’t be a sucker.”
"What? You spend 1000 yuan on scrap metal and expect to find Imperial Green jade?"
"A chance encounter with a bargain, but you can't expect to find a bargain every time."
Old Qin looked at Jiang Qianhui and said, "Girl, you did manage to snag a bargain just now, but you can't always be so lucky. This piece of rough jade is really not good. It's already been cut once and polished, but it still hasn't turned green and has developed more cracks. This is definitely a piece of waste."
