...
Baicheng is located in the northwest.
The place where jadeite is most commonly found in the country is over in Yunnan and Guizhou.
Because of this.
The raw stones here are all those that have been rejected multiple times over there, making it hard to find good quality.
However, there is a saying in the jadeite world: even gods find it hard to discern a piece of jade.
Even though the players in Yunnan and Guizhou are seasoned, they cannot guarantee that they won't make mistakes and can pick out all the good stones from a batch!
Although the raw stones in Baicheng's jade market are mostly scraps.
After looking for over half an hour, Xu Zhengyang actually found a good piece! [Stone]
[Weight: 14.21Kg]
[Main Components: Sodium Aluminum Silicate 76%, Calcium Carbonate 24%]
This is a cylindrical stone that looks like a winter melon, and the skin looks quite good, though it has already been cut in half by someone.
Because of this cut, there was no green visible at all.
Thus, this stone, which has an excellent appearance and is very likely to yield jade, is priced at only thirty thousand.
Confirming that he wasn't mistaken, Xu Zhengyang walked directly to the stall and said straightforwardly, "Boss, I want this stone, give me a better price."
The stall owner, Li Jinyang, is a seasoned player in the jade trading market.
He is also a streamer, specializing in various videos of cutting stones and showcasing the profits on the local channel, attracting people from Baicheng to come buy raw stones from him.
Because of this.
Li Jinyang immediately noticed Xu Zhengyang's awkwardness and thought he was just another victim of short videos, believing himself to be destined for success, ready to be fleeced here.
So he immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Brother, you have a good eye!
Although this stone has been cut in half, based on my years of experience, this stone is definitely going to yield something!
I see this is your first time here.
How about this, let's be friends, you can take it for twenty-eight thousand eight hundred!"
Although Xu Zhengyang didn't understand the market for raw stones, he knew from common sense that Li Jinyang must have left some room for negotiation.
So Xu Zhengyang directly cut the price, saying, "This stone has already been cut in half, I can only give you fourteen thousand at most."
Just when Xu Zhengyang thought Li Jinyang would argue with him, Li Jinyang's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to shake Xu Zhengyang's hand, excitedly saying, "Deal!"
At the same time.
The viewers in Li Jinyang's live stream saw someone getting scammed at his stall, and the barrage of comments instantly increased:
"What the hell, this old guy has scammed another one!"
"Old Liu has had that half-broken stone sitting there for half a year, he couldn't even sell it for three thousand during the last live stream, someone go persuade this kid!"
"Hahaha, persuade what? If you go persuade that kid, he'll think you're wasting his chance to get rich!"
"Exactly, have you seen many of these fools who think they're destined for success after watching a video?
They won't turn back until they hit a wall?"
...
Seeing Li Jinyang agree so readily, Xu Zhengyang realized he had overestimated Li Jinyang's conscience and that he had lowballed the offer.
However, Xu Zhengyang already knew that this stone would definitely yield something.
So he didn't say much, just shrugged and took out his phone to prepare for payment.
"Snap!"
At that moment.
A hand suddenly reached out to block Li Jinyang's payment code, and a police badge was shown to Xu Zhengyang, saying, "I'm Liu Guodong, the local police officer here.
You can just come and look around, don't get impulsive and make a foolish purchase."
Li Jinyang, seeing someone ruining his business, hurriedly said, "Old Liu, this is a mutually agreed transaction, what are you doing here? Our rules are like this!
I set a high price, he negotiates a low one.
He made an offer, I agreed, so the transaction must go through!"
Liu Guodong looked at Li Jinyang with disdain, squinting his eyes and coldly saying, "What, your rules are bigger than the law?
Try selling something forcefully in front of me!"
"I..."
Li Jinyang wanted to say something, but seeing Liu Guodong's sharp gaze, he swallowed his words, only able to vent his frustration to his live stream, "The world is going downhill, the world is going downhill, family!!"
"Hmph."
Liu Guodong snorted dismissively, then tossed the payment code back to Li Jinyang's stall, saying to Xu Zhengyang, "Young man, just come here to look around for fun, it's not easy for anyone to make money, don't throw it away."
"I..." Xu Zhengyang hesitated.
Faced with Liu Guodong's kindness, Xu Zhengyang felt deeply moved, warmth filling his heart.
There are still many good people in the world!
But...
No mistake, one shot, one release, one inside, one content, one in one 6 one 9 one book one bar one look!
He wanted to use his superpower to make some money here to build his own shelter, but Liu Guodong was doing a good deed that turned out to be a bad thing! So, taking advantage of Liu Guodong's turn, Xu Zhengyang quickly scanned the code and transferred fourteen thousand to Li Jinyang, saying, "I've watched your live stream, just cut it for me."
"Payment of fourteen thousand yuan has been successfully received~"
Originally, Li Jinyang had given up on this deal, but he never expected that a cooked duck would fly back into his pot!
A big rise, a big fall, and then a big rise again.
Li Jinyang was so excited he was trembling, quickly picking up the stone and running towards the cutting machine, "Good, good, good!
Boss, you're generous!
I'll cut it for you right away!"
"You..."
Liu Guodong looked back at Xu Zhengyang in shock, unable to say a word for a long time.
At the same time.
Li Jinyang's live stream became lively: "Hahaha, I said this kid wouldn't turn back until he hit a wall, right?"
"Old Liu came to help, he should just take the opportunity to back down, but he insisted on being stubborn!"
"Don't, don't, don't, we think Old Liu is helping him, but he might be blaming Old Liu for blocking his chance to get rich, hahaha..."
...
Li Jinyang took a moment to glance at the barrage, then proudly brought the stone to the cutting machine, pressing the switch, "Hehe...
This is a free transaction, no forced buying or selling! You saw it with your own eyes, I didn't pressure this young boss at all, he spent fourteen thousand to buy my stone!"
After saying that.
Li Jinyang confirmed with Xu Zhengyang again, "Is it another cut from the middle?"
"Yes."
Xu Zhengyang nodded, "Please go ahead and cut it!"
"Okay!"
Li Jinyang agreed, pointing his phone at the cutting machine, adjusting the lighting and putting on protective goggles before starting to lower the cutting machine!
With the sound of "zzzz," sparks flew from the cut of the stone, clearly indicating that the cutting had begun!
"Alas..."
Liu Guodong sighed, pointing at Li Jinyang, "I'll go back and tell my superiors to shut down your video account and live stream, to prevent you from posting those things that harm people!"
After saying that.
Just as Liu Guodong was about to leave, he heard Li Jinyang suddenly shout loudly, "What the hell??!!"
Liu Guodong was puzzled, was my statement that powerful? But then.
Liu Guodong noticed that Li Jinyang was no longer speaking, and even abandoned his stall, running away with the cut raw stone!
Having worked on the front lines for many years, Liu Guodong instantly pieced together the truth of the matter from the various details that had just occurred! "Stop!"
So Liu Guodong shouted sharply, then took three steps in two strides, lunging forward to pin down Li Jinyang, who was trying to escape with the treasure! Immediately after!
Liu Guodong skillfully handcuffed one of Li Jinyang's hands to the iron railing of the jade market!
"Thud!"
The raw stone in Li Jinyang's hand slipped and fell to the ground.
In an instant! A dazzling green stunned everyone present!
