Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!
Chapter 83 A Frenzied Stone Selection!
"Wenxi, which area of stone do you prefer?" Fu Siya asked curiously, her eyes scanning back and forth between the different areas.
Jiang Wenxi's eyes quickly scanned the entire hall, and her X-ray vision quietly activated, instantly revealing the texture and color of the stone's interior clearly to her.
She discovered quite a few good things; basically every area had hidden high-quality raw stones. She secretly marveled: This jade fair truly lives up to its reputation.
"Let's take a look from the side first," Jiang Wenxi said, and took the lead in walking towards the area where medium-sized stones were placed.
Each stone here has a unique number. Record the number of the stone you want to bid on and the bid price, and then you can submit your bid.
The selection hall was quite crowded, mostly with merchants or seasoned enthusiasts who had brought their assistants.
Those with a company background will have their assistants write down the numbers and company names of their desired stones in a notebook, while individual players simply write down the numbers.
At this moment, Jiang Yan was holding a small notebook in his hand, with the pen tip hovering over the paper, ready to take notes at any time.
As a android created by the system, he understands Jiang Wenxi's style of doing things best—with her strength and vision, she would never just select one or two stones, but would definitely select high-quality raw stones in batches, so it would be perfect to prepare a small notebook in advance to record them.
Looking around, among these hundreds of medium-sized stones, there are quite a few good ones—glassy, icy, and glutinous types are all available, and various colors such as imperial green, bright green, and violet are also very complete, with varying quality.
Jiang Wenxi didn't hesitate for long. Her gaze quickly swept over the stone quarry in front of her, and she slowly announced the number and price in her voice, just loud enough for Jiang Yan beside her to hear clearly:
「6号50万,8号100万,12号160万,34号20万,66号210万,85号330万,86号80万,91号55万,93号35万,99号270万,100号222万,101号360万,111号350万,180号240万,150号67万,131号95万,246号88万,231号213万,244号156万,245号111万。」
Jiang Yan scribbled rapidly in his notebook, quickly calculating in his mind that the total value of these stones was estimated to be over 20 million.
He knew that among the stones Jiang Wenxi had reported, some were genuine and some were fake, some were from old mines and some were from new mines, but most of them were high-quality materials—after all, if he picked only the best materials, it would be too shocking and would easily attract unnecessary trouble.
In the material selection hall, there were hundreds of stones on each table. Jiang Wenxi picked out dozens of stones from each table, which was not unusual.
Not long after, Jiang Wenxi stopped announcing the numbers.
Fu Siya quickly came over and asked, "How is it, Wenxi? Have you found anything suitable? We haven't finished looking at this pile yet."
"I've already selected a portion and reported it to Jiang Yan," Jiang Wenxi said calmly.
"What? You've already chosen?" Fu Siya, Ma Yun, and Jiang Xunye all looked incredulous.
Fu Siya spoke first: "I've only picked out five pieces, Ma Yun, what about you?"
"I picked 12 pieces," Ma Yun said.
Jiang Xunye also spoke up: "I picked 8 pieces."
Fu Siya then looked at Jiang Wenxi with expectant eyes: "Wenxi, why don't you pick out a few more for us?"
Hearing this, Jiang Wenxi smiled slightly and teased, "Aren't you afraid that the stones I pick for you will all turn out to be useless?"
"It's okay! We trust your judgment! Even if it's just scrap rock, we'll accept it!" Fu Siya said firmly, and Ma Yun and Jiang Xunye nodded in agreement.
"Alright," Jiang Wenxi agreed, and after a moment's thought, she recited a series of numbers.
「我觉得37号、121号、125号、133号、166号、320号、77号、71号、56号、53号、44号、48号、22号、122号、144号、148号、156号可以考虑。」
Upon hearing this, the group immediately split up to find the stones Jiang Wenxi had mentioned. Not long after, Fu Siya returned with a stone numbered 77, excitedly saying:
"Wenxi, you have a really sharp eye! I took a look at number 77; the outer skin is tight, and you can even vaguely see the moss pattern. I feel like it's bound to produce some green jade!"
Ma Yun casually glanced at a few of the stones recommended by Jiang Wenxi, and gradually made up her mind. She stopped selecting and said:
"Alright, I'm not looking anymore. From now on, it's up to each of us to see what we can do." Although the group is getting closer now, gambling on stones is a family affair and not a game, so they have to take it seriously.
Once everyone had confirmed their chosen stones and bid prices, they headed together towards the area with the extra-large stones. This area was significantly larger, as each stone was enormous, some as tall as a person, others thicker than a water bucket.
Such a large size also means higher risks—you might end up buying a worthless ordinary stone for millions or tens of millions of dollars.
Everyone knew that the price of the stones here was probably no less than 500 million.
Ma Yun casually glanced at a stone that was taller than a person and couldn't help but exclaim, "I don't know where they got all these large stones for this jade fair. It's really rare to see so many of them."
Jiang Xunye said calmly, "Perhaps a new mine has been opened in the last two years."
There's a saying: "One cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich, and another cut makes you the richest man in the world." That's exactly what they're talking about with these large rough stones, isn't it?
After observing for a while, the group found that there were significantly fewer people in the area with large stones than in the area with medium-sized stones.
Jiang Wenxi understood: large stones were expensive and risky, but the corresponding profits were also extremely considerable. Most ordinary families dared not get involved easily; only large families with deep pockets dared to bid here.
Experienced players here are usually accompanied by assistants who are responsible for recording the stone numbers and prices.
Fu Siya, Ma Yun, and Jiang Xunye were all quite cautious, and each of them selected five large stones before stopping.
Jiang Wenxi's gaze, however, fell on a pile of oddly shaped large stones—the bottom of which was completely connected, while the top was slightly separated, resembling five small mountain peaks.
She quietly activated her X-ray vision and, after seeing inside, a barely perceptible look of amazement flashed in her eyes: the stone actually contained five colors inside, and all of them were rare glass-type stones!
This type of multicolored glass-like raw stone is extremely rare, an absolute gem with a priceless market, and of great collectible value.
Jiang Wenxi had already made up her mind, but showed no sign of it on her face. She simply turned to Jiang Yan beside her and gave him instructions:
