Chapter 69: No Merchant Without Deceit
When Xiao Feng saw the rough stone in the corner, he immediately perked up and walked over.
After receiving it, I checked it carefully.
That's right, this is it!
Upon seeing this action, Yan Wenshan immediately reminded Xiao Feng.
"Brother Xiao Feng, those rough stones over there are the ones that were left over after being picked. Don't be fooled by their size; they're worthless, only a few hundred yuan each."
"Since I'm offering to treat you, you should at least pick someone decent. Don't pick one that costs a few hundred yuan. If Boss Jia sees this, he'll laugh at me to death and think I can't afford it."
Yan Wenshan has been here many times and knows a bit about the arrangement of the raw stones.
Even if the rough stone is not small, it's not worth much and almost no one wants it if it's placed in that corner.
Jia Yucheng immediately chimed in, "Yes, Brother Xiao Feng, those are worthless; they haven't even been taped yet."
"These rough stones will first be transferred to small vendors, who will then select them one last time. After that, they will be sold in small quantities near tourist attractions, usually for 100 to 500 yuan each."
Xiao Feng was brought here by Yan Wenshan after all, and Jia Yucheng just casually revealed the truth.
Indeed, there's nothing to hide in the industry about this.
This quality of rough stone is already leftover from the selection process and has almost no value.
After the leftovers are picked over, they will be sold to small vendors at a lower price.
After the vendors take the goods, they will use various methods to sort them again, and finally... dump them at tourist attractions to sell.
While there is still a possibility of finding a bargain, the chances are extremely slim.
Because its value is what it is, after all, it's only worth a few hundred dollars.
When Xiao Feng heard that the rough stone in his hand was only worth a few hundred yuan, the truth was already clear.
Although gambling on jade involves risks, the risks and values should be proportional.
The raw stone in front of us is only worth a few hundred yuan, but it cost a total of 10 yuan back then.
This has nothing to do with luck anymore.
After all... it's reasonable to spend 10 yuan to buy a raw stone worth 10 yuan.
In that case, even if we lose the bet, we'll accept it.
But the truth is, it's like spending 10 yuan to buy a rough stone worth only a few hundred yuan.
What puzzled Xiao Feng even more was why this raw stone was here.
Logically speaking... it should be in the hands of his high school classmate [Zhou Ping].
It was Zhou Ping who told Xiao Feng that he had a rough stone worth 200,000 yuan, and that he would sell it to him at half price as an old classmate.
To be honest, Xiao Feng was completely blinded by love at that time, and all he could think about was the seriously ill Li Zhinian.
now!
Xiao Feng gripped the raw stone tightly in his hand, trying hard to control his emotions.
The information entries seemed to respond to this.
[Random entry: This rough stone is of the lowest quality and has no usable value. The current market price is 100-150 yuan, so its actual value is 0 yuan.]
Sigh, it's better not to refresh this entry.
It is worth 0 yuan.
Haha, this is what they call an old classmate.
In times of crisis, they can even push you into the fire.
Of course, Xiao Feng also admitted that he was indeed blinded by his emotions at the time, but there was no other way under those circumstances.
Besides... they've been classmates for so many years, we spent three years together in high school, we're practically brothers.
If it weren't for this relationship, Xiao Feng wouldn't have believed it so easily.
But in the end... it was worthless.
But that's not the point. The point is... I remember hearing that guy... later made a fortune.
Having earned tens of millions, he suddenly transcended social classes and lived a very carefree life for the next ten years or so.
Thinking of this... Xiao Feng became even angrier.
"Brother Xiao Feng." Yan Wenshan walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Didn't you hear what Boss Jia just said? These are all going to be sold at the scenic spot in the end. To put it bluntly, they're just some waste raw stones. It's a complete scam. Don't bother looking at them."
"Come on, take a look over here. Since it's my treat, pick the more expensive one; the chances of finding jade will be higher."
"Yes, Brother Xiao Feng," Jia Yucheng chimed in. "Come and see this place. The drop rate is high here. Besides, those over there... someone will come and pack them all up and take them away soon."
Hearing that someone would be packing up and taking it away soon, Xiao Feng had a general idea of what was going on.
I guess it's the phone call Jia Yucheng just received.
Xiao Feng calmly put down the rough stone in his hand and then went to the area with higher prices.
The starting price for raw stones in this area is over 1 yuan, and the most expensive ones can even cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.
"Brother Xiao Feng, go ahead and choose whichever one you like, but it has to be an expensive one," Yan Wenshan said with a smile.
It's obvious that he really wants to invite Xiao Feng!
Xiao Feng replied politely, "Mr. Yan, I don't know much about these raw stones. If I lose money later, it'll be a waste of money. Why don't you play with them? I'll take a look and learn more."
"No." Yan Wenshan raised his hand to indicate, "Don't follow my example. The most expensive of these rough stones is only a few hundred thousand. I don't play with these kinds of stones. I usually only play with those in the million-level."
As he spoke, Yan Wenshan pointed in the direction inside.
There were more than a dozen large raw stones on display, the smallest of which was 35 centimeters in diameter.
Almost every piece is worth millions.
This is why Yan Wenshan, with a bit of bad luck, has already lost more than 1200 million yuan on raw stones.
However, Yan Wenshan has a net worth of several billion yuan and can afford to play around with it. In his words, he considers it tuition.
"Alright." Xiao Feng stopped refusing and pretended to make a selection.
As long as Xiao Feng concentrates, the entry can sense the information he wants.
Sometimes it's random information, and sometimes it's precise information.
[Accurate entry: The prices of all rough stones in this area are inflated, exceeding market prices by 30%. Among them, 9 stones offer relatively high value for money, listed in order. The top-ranked stone contains 36% [pure green] and has a market price between 120 million and 150 million, making it the best in the entire area.]
As the entry was displayed, the prompts given by the entry also appeared in Xiao Feng's view.
Nine of them are relatively cost-effective, and their value after being cut open is higher than the current price of the raw stones.
The items are ranked in order, with the first one being worth between 120 million and 150 million.
This is definitely a huge profit, because the most expensive rough stones on the stall are only worth a few hundred thousand.
Of course, there were more than 100 rough stones on the entire stall.
The only money you can make is 9 yuan.
This is why Jia Yucheng, the owner of the raw stone, doesn't cut it open himself. Selling it loosely would yield higher profits and carry zero risk.
After all… out of more than 100 rough stones, only that one is worth 120 million.
Furthermore… information from the entry indicates that the price quoted by Jia Yucheng is 30% higher than the average market price.
Therefore, there is no business without cunning.
But there's not much to say about that. Although he's a swindler, at least the raw stones are genuine; it's just that the price is inflated.
After all… compared to the one Xiao Feng bought for 10, this is already extremely conscientious.
Jia Yucheng is a shrewd businessman, so he sells things at a higher price.
But his classmate Zhou Ping wasn't just a shrewd businessman, he was a fraudster.
"This one will do!" Xiao Feng pointed to the one worth 120 million.
After Xiao Feng selected the rough stone with an actual value of 120 million.
Jia Yucheng then quoted a price: "This piece is priced at 18, but since Boss Yan is treating us, I have to give you a discount, 15 will do."
Damn, that sounds pretty nice.
Yan Wenshan also looked at the piece that Xiao Feng had chosen, and frowned slightly: "Brother Xiao Feng, to be honest, I don't think this piece is very good."
"Look, all of these have had windows opened. Anything that has had windows opened is like a cosmetic procedure. Don't be fooled by this illusion."
"In my experience, this one is pretty good." As he spoke, Yan Wenshan pointed to another piece, which was considered the most expensive in the area.
It's worth 38.8.
Xiao Feng also looked at the piece that Yan Wenshan had recommended.
Don't even mention it. Although this one is the most expensive, it doesn't even make it into the top 9 in terms of cost-effectiveness.
So... that part must be a loss.
Yan Wenshan's recommendation of that particular piece was probably because he felt it was more expensive and had a higher probability of being sold.
After all, it was his treat, so he didn't want to be stingy.
"I'll choose this one," Xiao Feng said politely with a smile. "If we make a profit, we'll split it 50/50."
Yan Wenshan laughed heartily: "Brother Xiao Feng, you're underestimating your older brother. Since I said I'd treat you, whatever you pay is on you. I'm just afraid you'll be disappointed in this part."
After making a final selection, it was purchased for 15.
Jia Yucheng then instructed his cutting master to cut it open.
As the dental cutting machine cuts the raw stone, it is split into two.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the raw stone was opened and split in two.
Wherever the eye can see.
In addition to the outer layer, there was indeed more than 30% bluish-green jade inside.
"What is this? Zhengyang Green?"
