Lin Sheng, who was walking in front, felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the girl he liked walking so close to Chen Hang.
He had tried to find an opportunity to get close to Guan Zhiling several times, but because Guan Shan had asked him to look at the raw materials, he never had the chance. He could only watch as Chen Hang and Guan Zhiling chatted so enthusiastically.
"How is Little Chen? What did you learn today? You can ask me if you know anything." Lin Sheng had no choice but to pull Chen Hang over and take the initiative to talk to him so that he would not have the chance to talk to Guan Zhiling.
"Yes, I just came here and don't know much about the jade industry now. Mr. Lin, can you tell me?”Of course, he knew what Lin Sheng was thinking.
He was only asking him this out of politeness on the surface. He didn't want to make things difficult for Guan Shan and Guan Zhiling.
After all, Lin Sheng was a jewelry appraiser in Guan Shan Jewelry Company.
From the fact that he was able to obtain Guan Shan's approval, it meant that he was very talented in appraising jade.
"There are many types of jade, but raw materials are actually more expensive by the catty.”
" Ordinary raw materials cost dozens of yuan per catty. If it's a raw material that has been confirmed by some famous appraisers to produce meat, or if you can see some colors from the stone shell of the raw material with a flashlight, the price will go up to hundreds of yuan per catty.”
Chen Hang actually understood what Lin Sheng said. Along the way, he had already multitasked and learned about the jade industry of this era from the system.
In the early 1980s, stone gambling was popular all over the world. It was precisely because of the wave of reform that pushed the jewelry market forward.
At this time, the price of raw materials wasn't as crazy as it would be thirty years later. A random stone could cost hundreds, thousands, or even tens of millions.
In this jade era, which had only been popular for a few years, many jade raw materials were actually sold by catty, unlike in the future, where the price of the raw material was clearly stated.
Some raw materials that could produce jade were even sold for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan through competitive bidding.
These were the most common things in the future stone gambling industry. Those who knew this industry were not surprised.
But now, stone gambling had just become popular. Although it was indeed popular throughout the country, the current economic conditions were not as good as in the future, so the price of raw materials was not as exaggerated as in the future.
It might not be that exaggerated in the future, but for now, stone gambling was crazy.
This was because the jewelry industry was recognized as a wealthy business. With high investment, high requirements, good luck, or a bit of foresight, if one saw a good raw material and cut out jade, one could instantly become a millionaire if they earned hundreds of thousands or millions in this era.
In the 1980s and 1990s, becoming a millionaire was proof that one was rich.
However, in the future, after 2010, there would be more and more millionaires in the Dragon Country. Those with an annual income of a million could not be considered rich at all. At most, they would be considered well-off families.
But in this day and age, a millionaire was a millionaire. You could have any woman you wanted.
"Oh, isn't this President Guan?" Just as Chen Hang and Lin Sheng were discussing the jade industry, a voice interrupted them. Chen Hang also looked over.
The person who came was bald and had a big belly. He looked like a hooligan, and it was obvious that he was the local tyrant. He didn't seem like a good person.
When Guan Shan saw the other party, his expression was very bad.
"Hey, President Guan, don't look at me like that. I, Papi, am just trying to make a living. I was entrusted by someone with your goods last time. I'm really sorry.”This one called Papi had a mouthful of yellow teeth that looked disgusting.
"You have to be careful. Don't lose your life when you can't eat.”Guan Shan snorted.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that, President Guan.”Papi said as he glanced at Guan Zhiling.
When he looked at Guan Zhiling, his eyes did not hide his possessiveness towards her.
Guan Zhiling was also very afraid. She instinctively hid behind Chen Hang and did not even dare to look at Papi.
"President Guan, please take a look first." Papi said to Guan Shan with a smile.
Watching this guy leave, Guan Shan gritted his teeth and asked the bodyguard beside him,"How many people did we bring this time? If the goods are stolen again, our jewelry store will have to close down.”
"I brought more than 20 people here, and they all brought weapons.”Guan Shan's bodyguard replied respectfully.
Guan Shan nodded his head. He felt much more at ease now that he had brought someone over.
"Who's that guy?" Chen Hang asked Guan Shan. It seemed like Uncle knew him and had a grudge against him?”
"He's a local tyrant in Pingzhou. He's in charge of snatching jade stones.”
"As long as there are people from the jewelry company who come here to buy raw materials, they will be eyeing the good jade.”
"Last time, we bought a few million yuan worth of goods and opened a few pieces of jade with excellent color and water quality. In the end, they targeted us and robbed us halfway.”Thinking back on this matter, Guan Shan was very angry.
However, Chen Hang did not understand why they were driving here.
"Why do you have to open the raw materials here? Can't we drive it back to Xiangjiang City?" This was his question.
"Of course, you can bring it back to Xiangjiang City. However, there's a problem.”Guan Shan had a good impression of Chen Hang, so he obviously wanted to teach him.
Chen Hang thought about it carefully and said,"If the raw materials that we brought back after so much effort are not jade, it will be a waste of money and manpower.”
"After we open it here, we can confirm that it's jade before shipping it back. This way, we don't have to go back and not be able to open jade, resulting in the jewelry business not being able to produce jewelry.”Chen Hang quickly thought of this.
"That's right." This time, Guan Shan praised Chen Hang even more. This youth had a very good temperament.
"I see. I understand now.”Chen Hang nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Let's not talk about this. How is it? We've been here for half a day. How's your understanding?”
"Hehe, thanks to Uncle, I've gained some knowledge.”Chen Hang smiled as he answered Guan Shan.
"That's good. Lin Sheng and I will choose raw materials in the afternoon and cut them on the spot. I know that you're on the same martial arts journey as Lin Zhengying, so you should be a little skilled. Therefore, I'll have to trouble you with the task of protecting her.”Guan Shan's arrangement made Lin Sheng very anxious.
Guan Shan could tell that Lin Sheng was anxious and said to him,"Can you protect yourself? If you can't, what if the real Papi comes to steal our goods? How are you going to protect Lingling then?”
It was Guan Shan's soul question that made Lin Sheng swallow the words that were about to reach his throat.
