Zhang Ruoxi and her team fell silent after their initial defeat. The four experts looked even more solemn.
Zhang Ruoxi squeezed out a bitter smile and said,"
"I'm sorry to make a fool of myself, Mr. Jiang. I probably won't be able to accompany you to the exhibition tonight. I still have to meet a few raw stone wholesalers.”
Jiang Fan waved his hand and said,"
"It's okay. You have important matters to attend to.”
Zhang Wentao said,
"Sis, I can't help much anyway. I'll accompany Almighty Jiang for a walk.”
"Alright." Zhang Ruoxi nodded. She was no longer in the mood to care about anything else. She picked up her phone and started to make a call. Surprisingly, she spoke fluent South Burmese.
Zhang Wentao said helplessly,
"My sister is like this. She's busy with work and ignores people. Let's go, I'll take you to the warehouse area." The exhibition area outside is all a bluff."
"Oh?" Jiang Fan was curious.
He spent the entire afternoon looking at not only jade but also raw gemstones.
Unfortunately, most of the raw gemstones had no jade inside.
In the afternoon, they found a few raw stones with jade inside, but they were all the worst beans or glutinous seeds. They probably couldn't even earn back the money from the raw stones themselves.
Before he came, he had a simple understanding of jade. The quality and value of jade were closely related to the water used to grow it.
The best was the glass type, followed by the ice type, the glutinous type, and the bean type.
Zhang Wentao brought Jiang Fan into a passage guarded by armed soldiers. He showed Jiang Fan an identification card before bringing Jiang Fan in.
"When the raw jade stones are mined from the mine, the mine owner will do the first round of screening. He will keep the ores that are most likely to produce jade and cut the stones himself.”
"Then, they sell it to the raw stone wholesaler. The wholesaler will filter it again and keep the best ones. The rest will be sold to the retail seller, who will be the people at the exhibition.”
"Retakers will choose again. The best ones will be kept to cut the stones themselves, the ones that are not as good will be placed in the warehouse to sell to jade companies like us, and the worst ones will be placed at the exhibition booth outside.”
" So, what you saw outside was trash that had been picked out by several batches of seasoned experts for four rounds. It would be strange if you could see good stuff. It was pure luck. You didn't buy it, right?”
No wonder it was so bad! Jiang Fan smiled and said,"
"You warned me on the plane. Of course I won't fall for it.”
Zhang Wentao brought Jiang Fan to the warehouse area. This place was no longer a stall but a room.
The raw jade here was completely different from the ones outside.
The outside had been carefully cleaned, while the inside had only been washed, and there was a lot of dirt.
Dirty raw jade stones were placed in rows on the ground, and there was usually only one boss waiting in a large area.
There weren't many buyers. Most of them were teams of people, probably the purchasing staff of various jewelry companies.
Some were holding magnifying glasses, while others were holding powerful flashlights, carefully observing.
Beside each booth that sold raw stones, there were several cutting and grinding machines of various sizes, which were specially used to cut stones.
Jiang Fan looked over and the voices of countless jade stones popped up in his mind.
The floor was too hard! I'm already smashed!
[B: I haven't showered in the past three days.]
[Jadeite C: I'm just an ordinary stone. You'll lose a lot of money if you bet on me.]
Jade Stone D: Big Me, Small Bean Seed.
...
Jiang Fan nodded to himself.
The ratio of raw jade here was obviously higher than outside, but the price of raw jade was also higher than outside. A fist-sized one was worth tens of thousands.
He even saw a basketball that was as big as a basketball and cost 800,000 yuan. I am a piece of marble!
Therefore, if the skill was not good, 70 to 80% would still be a loss.
Zhang Wentao said to Jiang Fan,"
"The stones here can be used for a gamble, but don't get too excited. If you want to play, you can pick a few thousand to experience it.”
Jiang Fan smiled and said,"
"Alright, my hands are itching."
Thus, he strolled forward and looked down one by one.
Zhang Wentao knew that he wasn't cut out for stone gambling. He was only bringing Jiang Fan to see the world, so he didn't pay any attention to raw stones.
Compared to the others, the two of them did not bring a magnifying glass or a flashlight. They looked at it very quickly, and it was obvious that they were rich young masters who were just casually looking at it.
The shop owner didn't even have the motivation to stand up and greet them. He just sat there lazily and played with his phone, allowing them to look at it themselves.
Jiang Fan looked through half of the warehouse area and finally found something!
[I, the noble ice type!]
It was a stone that was a little smaller than a volleyball. From the outside, it looked gray and unremarkable.
It didn't look like jade at all.
The shop owner didn't think much of it either and only set the price at 6000 yuan.
Jiang Fan couldn't tell exactly how big it was and how much it was worth.
However, 6000 wasn't a lot, so it was just an experiment.
Jiang Fan held the raw gemstone in his hand and weighed it in his hand."
"Boss, can this one be cheaper?”
