My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.
Chapter 77 What if it succeeds?
In a corner of the backyard, there were no fewer than fifty rough stones piled up, which were divided into three piles according to their color and quality.
As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Su Muchen's eyes lit up. With just a scan of the rough stones, he discovered that there were quite a few high-quality jadeite among them.
What surprised Su Muchen the most was that two of the rough stones contained imperial green jadeite. No, to be precise, one of the rough stones contained jadeite that was even better than imperial green jadeite.
Among jadeite stones, the one with a quality even better than Imperial Green is undoubtedly Dragon Stone.
Imperial green is an exclusive term for the highest quality color of jadeite; lower-quality jadeite (such as glutinous jadeite and bean jadeite) may also exhibit imperial green hues.
However, due to the rough crystals and poor transparency, the color appears dull and lifeless, making it far less valuable than glassy/icy imperial green.
The quality of high-grade imperial green must be above icy, and the top grade is glassy imperial green. When experts talk about imperial green, they are referring to glassy imperial green.
Although Imperial Green of Glassy Type is already the top quality of jadeite, the world is full of wonders. Above Imperial Green of Glassy Type, there is a quality that has not been seen for a hundred years, namely Dragon Stone.
Dragon Stone Jadeite is a top-grade variety of jadeite, and is known as the "ultimate jadeite" due to its rarity and superior quality.
The main characteristics of Dragon Stone: its texture is above that of Glass Stone, its flesh is very fine, it does not show any crystallization, and it has the characteristics of being warm in winter and cool in summer.
Its luster is extremely high, it is clear and moist, and no impurities or cotton can be seen with the naked eye. It is full and moist, as clear as mountain spring water.
The colors are mainly green and light green, and the color and texture are integrated into one, with almost no visible color roots. It also has a distinct, cold and cool fluorescent glow, and has a strong gel-like feel with excellent rigidity.
Dragon Stone jadeite is extremely rare throughout the entire planet Blue Star. It appears only a handful of times. The conditions for forming Dragon Stone jadeite are too demanding, and its origin is not fixed. Whether or not one can encounter this kind of jadeite depends entirely on the favor of God.
The existing dragon stone jadeite is almost never circulated in the market. It is either in the hands of some big families or in the hands of wealthy conglomerates. Only these big figures have the strength to possess such rare items.
This is also why Su Muchen is excited. Dragon Stone is better than any Imperial Green. If Dragon Stone jade is used as a base, the effect will definitely be even better.
"Young man, the rough stones here are all from famous mines in Myanmar. The quality is beyond question. Take a look and see if there's anything you like. I'll definitely give you a good price."
Su Muchen nodded and pretended to wander around the pile of raw stones, sometimes squatting down, sometimes picking up a raw stone to examine it carefully, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Among the rough stones in this backyard, besides the dragon stone and the imperial green rough stone, there are three other rough stones of different sizes, which also contain top-quality glass-type jadeite.
Besides these five top-quality rough stones, there are many other rough stones containing green. Even if you buy them, you won't lose money. It has to be said that the quality of the rough stones in the old man's hands is indeed good.
Su Muchen directly selected the five highest-quality rough stones. Although the other rough stones could also increase in value, he had no interest in them at all.
"Old man, give me a price for these five rough stones. If the price is right, I'll take them."
"Haha, young man, you have a good eye. Among the rough stones here, these are the best quality, though the price may be a little high."
The old man's eyes darted around, clearly plotting something; he was preparing to trick Su Muchen.
"Old man, you don't need to try to fool this kid. If you really knew these rough stones were of good quality, you wouldn't be selling them. You could just cut them open and sell them as jade. If you want to close this deal, I advise you to give up your little schemes. This kid isn't so easily fooled."
Su Muchen naturally understood the old man's thoughts. If the old man knew the quality of the jade inside these rough stones, how could he possibly sell them?
"Hahaha...Young man, I didn't expect you to be so shrewd at such a young age. Fine, this old man won't take advantage of you. Those two big ones are ten million each, those two smaller ones are eight million each, and the smallest one is five million. This is already the lowest price."
The old man quoted a price, revealing a confident expression, but Su Muchen's next words left him stunned!
"Old man, you really dare to ask for 41 million for just a few rough stones. Do you really think I'm a fool? Since you think these rough stones are worth that much money, then you can keep them for yourself. I'm not going to keep you company."
After Su Muchen finished speaking, he made a move to leave the backyard. The old man panicked and quickly grabbed Su Muchen.
"Young man, what's the rush? Business is about give and take. This is the price I'm offering. If you're not satisfied, we can discuss it further!"
"Old man, didn't you say this was the lowest price? What's that kid even trying to haggle over?!"
"Young man, come on! It's normal to haggle over prices when buying and selling. Why don't you try to negotiate a price? What if you make a deal?"
"Since you've put it that way, old man, then kid, how about we make a price? Cut it in half, twenty million. Sell it or leave it, kid."
"Sell it! Twenty million it is, young man, transfer the money!"
"Well, old man, you're so straightforward. It seems like I offered too high a price. How about we reconsider the price?"
Su Muchen didn't expect that the old man would agree to his casual bargaining, which clearly showed that he had overpaid.
"Hey, hey, hey, young man, you have no sportsmanship. You're the one who negotiated this price. Since the old man agreed, you can't go back on your word. It's twenty million. Transfer it."
"Sigh, you old man still managed to outsmart me. Oh well, twenty million it is!"
Su Muchen looked annoyed, but little did anyone know that he was overjoyed. The jade inside these five rough stones was worth at least 500 million yuan, and he had bought them for only 20 million yuan. This was truly a huge profit.
After the transaction was completed, the old man called over two burly men from inside the house to help Su Muchen move the five rough stones onto Su Muchen's car.
After Su Muchen left, the two burly men remaining in the room immediately asked the old man a question.
"Second Master, why didn't you let us make a move just now? Look at how skinny this kid is, any one of us could have killed him and dumped him in the Luan River. Why did we have to sell the raw stones to him?"
"Yes, Second Master, didn't you text us before you came back that this kid had at least a hundred million on him? He's a fat sheep! We were all ready. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Before even striking up a conversation with Su Muchen at the old man's jade trading market, he had already sent a message to his subordinates, informing them that a fat sheep would be coming to their door soon, and that they should be prepared to devour this fat sheep.
These burly men had been prepared for a long time, but when the old man returned, he gestured for them not to make a move, which left them completely puzzled.
"That's right. I did think about double-crossing him and making a fortune, but when I mentioned it to that kid, he wasn't scared at all. Instead, he looked at me with disdain. Especially his eyes. Just one look at them made me feel scared."
"You all know that your second uncle has been around for so many years and has come into contact with all kinds of big shots, but this kid's single glance made me unable to muster any resistance. I suspect that kid is a martial artist, and his strength is not low, so I signaled to you not to make a move."
The old man was still a little scared. Su Muchen gave him the feeling of a fierce tiger, as if if he did anything inappropriate, he would be sent to meet the King of Hell in the next second.
