Chapter 352 Exchange
Wei Fangxia immediately puts the other arm in front of her chest, making a defensive gesture. In such a dark night, Li Yong’s eyes are so aggressive that they make her nervous.
They get in the car and Li Yong drives on the road. He wants to talk with Wei Fangxia about life and ideals along the way, but Wei Fangxia falls asleep as soon as she lies in the back seat of the car. Li Yong calls her but can’t wake her up, so he has to drive alone.
At daybreak, they arrive in Shikang City.
Li Yong doesn’t go to the stone gambling market, but directly goes to the headquarters building of the Tiankai Gang. It’s the largest jewelry and jade sales center of Shikang City and is now belonged to Li Yong and managed by Zheng Xinmei.
The profit here was very considerable in the past and has declined a lot since Li Yong reformed the sales mode, lowered the virtual-high prices, and stopped cooperating with those unscrupulous tour groups.
When Zheng Xinmei reported to Han Lu a few days ago, the profit couldn’t keep up with the rent.
However, Li Yong does not intend to close it down. He firmly believes that as long as they operate this place with integrity, it will get better and better.
“We arrived too early! The stores haven’t opened.” Wei Fangxia says after she got out of the car lazily and looked at the closed stores. She has slept all the way. She stretches out and yawns, but is in good spirits.
Li Yong makes a phone call to Zheng Xinmei and soon, Zheng Xinmei, who is wearing pajamas, rushes over and invites Li Yong in. Zheng Xinmei is very surprised and also very happy that Li Yong suddenly comes.
She immediately says to Li Yong, “Yong, the landlord wants to raise our rent because we are not local people. The price has gone up by 50 percent. The money we can make is even not as much as the rent, let alone the employees’ salary.”
“It’s not urgent. Take me to see the jade first.”
Li Yong and Wei Fangxia go upstairs to have a wash. Then they are led by Zheng Xinmei who has dressed up to the warehouse of the sales center. A lot of processed jade stones are piled up here, waiting for sale.
Li Yong opens his clairvoyant vision to have a look and finds that most of them are ordinary jade stones and have no spiritual power. He is disappointed and asks, “Is that all? Are there anything better?”
“Yes, in the basement.” Zheng Xinmei says hurriedly.
They walk toward the basement. Li Yong finds that this place is like the bank and there are actually three big and thick iron doors.
The area of the basement is more than 100 square meters. There are four rows of thick glass cabinets and precious jade stones are hidden inside.
Li Yong takes a glance and finally sees a few wisps of spiritual power. He now shows a smile.
“Show me this one.” Li Yong points to a piece of fist-sized red jade and says.
Zheng Xinmei takes it out carefully and gently hands it to Li Yong. She says, “This one is worth several million yuan.”
What Li Yong cares about is not the price, but the spiritual power. He takes it in his hand and absorbs the spiritual power quickly. Then he looks at them one by one and absorbs all the spiritual power.
The harvest is quite good. He finally absorbs 43 wisps of spiritual power here.
Watching Li Yong pick up the jade and put it down, Zheng Xinmei feels strange but dares not to ask. Because when Li Yong absorbed the spiritual power, he stopped smiling and looked very serious, as if there was hatred between the jade and him.
In fact, Li Yong is not happy about so many ordinary jade stones here. How good it would be if all the jade stones contained spiritual power!
“Do you have more?” Li Yong asks disconsolately.
“No, all the precious jade stones are here.” Zheng Xinmei replies gently, “Yong, what kinds of jade do you want?”
“Expensive. The more expensive, the better.” Li Yong gradually finds that only the jade stones that are worth more than 300,000 are possible to contain spiritual power. Some are more than one million yuan, but still don’t have spiritual power.
It seems that good luck is needed. He can encounter it if he has good luck, and he can’t if he doesn’t have.
“Yong, the National Jade Association is carrying out a treasure identification activity here. There should be more precious jade stones and jewelries there. Maybe you can find what you want. Let me take you there to have a look!” Zheng Xinmei says softly.
Li Yong’s eyes become bright and he immediately nods and says, “Okay.”
After breakfast, Zheng Xinmei drives Li Yong and Wei Fangxia to the sports square of Zhonghai City.
This place is where the experts and scholars of the National Jade Association conduct treasure identification activity.
Li Yong sees that a lot of people are gathered here. Some people are in groups and exchange their treasures. Some stay alone and just stand quietly, looking very unsociable. Some people look sullen and some are crying.
Those people who look sullen do not know whether their treasures are genuine or fake and are worried.
Those who are crying are obviously deceived. They must have been deceived of much money.
Li Yong looks at them and finds that people who are unsociable have more valuable antiques.
Those people that gather together tend to have fake treasures.
Li Yong can feel clearly the spiritual power from some people. They all have good treasures that are worth at least more than 200,000 yuan according to the current market price. He wants to get in touch with those people and to touch the treasures so that he can absorb the spiritual power into him body.
However, those people are too arrogant and cautious. Li Yong walks over but is taken as a liar before he can say a few words with them. They either walk away or ignore him. Someone even says directly, “You’re a liar, aren’t you?”
This makes Li Yong very embarrassed. He is followed by two beauties Wei Fangxia and Zheng Xinmei and has a bank card with 200 million yuan in it. Does he look like a liar? He’s the one who hates liars the most, okay?
Zheng Xinmei sees that something is wrong. She says softly, “Yong, these people are coming to find experts to identify their treasures. We won’t be taken as liars if we also take treasures in our hands.”
“It makes sense.” Li Yong immediately takes out one piece and casually holds it in his palm.
It really works. He stands there and immediately catches the eyes of the people around. They stare at the jade in Li Yong’s hand. It is a ruby ring.
Li Yong bought it at Wanda Square in Zhonghai City. The ruby ring cost 600,000 yuan. He even has the invoice and several certificates with a master craftsman’s name on them. It is absolutely not fake.
“Young man, your ruby is very nice! I know it’s genuine at the first sight.” Someone comes to chat with Li Yong.
“I don’t know! I hope it’s genuine!” Li Yong looks sad, as if he has been cheated.
“How much did you spend?” Someone asks curiously.
“Six yuan,” Li Yong raises his arm and makes the gesture of six. He says sincerely, “I don’t know how much I can sell. I hope I won’t lose money. I’ll sell it if the price is okay.”
“Ah? Young man, I’ll give you sixty yuan. Can you sell it to me?”
“I’ll give you six hundred yuan.”
“I’ll give you six thousand yuan.”
“Damn it. Don’t squeeze. Young man, don’t be fooled by these people. Your gem is genuine. I’ll give you sixty thousand yuan. Think about it, okay?”
“You spent six yuan and can earn sixty thousand yuan. That’s a thousandfold increase in price! Young man, you’ll really make a profit.”
“I’ll give you seventy thousand yuan.”
“I’ll give you eighty thousand yuan.”
Li Yong is immediately surrounded. These people are very excited and someone has taken out money and someone is holding his bank card. They all want to buy Li Yong’s ruby ring.
The ruby that is worth 600,000 yuan becomes only dozens of thousands of yuan here. Li Yong takes all of them as liars.
He says awkwardly, “I’ll wait for experts to have a look! I’ll sell it sooner or later, because I don’t like this ruby ring. I like jade stones more. I can exchange it with anyone who has jade stones.”
“I have. What do you think of this piece of Hotan white jade?”
“Me too. What do you think of my topaz?”
“I also have a piece of green jade. I don’t know if you like it.”
He didn’t expect that these people all hid the treasures they were taking.
However, Li Yong doesn’t care about those treasures that don’t have spiritual power. The treasures these people have taken out are either fake or inferior. They hide those good things with spiritual power.
Only a big man holds a piece of bloodstone with spiritual power and squeezes to the front of Li Yong. He shouts, “Man, I’ll exchange this bloodstone for your ruby ring. What do you think?”
Li Yong’s eyes become bright and he immediately says, “Okay.”
“Wow, this bloodstone is worth at least 400,000 to 500,000 yuan!”
“Its color is not very good. The price is at most 200,000 yuan.”
“Won’t he lose money? That man is stupid! Is that ruby ring worth so much?”
“Right! That ruby ring is worth at most 100,000 yuan.”
“Big man, you’ll lose money.”
After being persuaded by these people, the big man begins to hesitate. He plans to hand the bloodstone to Li Yong but then takes it back. He smiles awkwardly and asks those people, “Can my bloodstone be worth 400,000 to 500,000 yuan?”
“Of course! Go to find a master to deal with it and it might be worth more.”
“Nonsense. There are black spots in it. It is worth at most 100,000 yuan.”
When these people are discussing, Li Yong squeezes over and says smilingly, “Man, it doesn’t matter if we exchange. I think it’s okay to let me have a look.” Saying this, he hands over his ruby ring first.
After the man takes the ruby ring handed over by Li Yong, he looks a little uneasy and hands over the bloodstone.
Li Yong takes it in his hand and immediately absorbs the spiritual power. Then he is going to return it. He doesn’t care how much this bloodstone is worth. What he values is the spiritual power inside it.
However, he suddenly discovers that the black spots in the bloodstone fade because he has absorbed the spiritual power. It looks that it has suddenly changed from a piece of bloodstone with obvious impurity into a piece of bloodstone with good color.
Does my spiritual power have the effect of changing the quality of the bloodstone?
Li Yong thinks for a moment and then urges the spiritual power again and infiltrates it into the bloodstone. The spiritual power begins to circulate in the bloodstone as he is thinking. He clearly sees that the black spots in the bloodstone become lighter and smaller.
Before long, a piece of ordinary bloodstone covered with black spots actually turns into a glittering and translucent top-class bloodstone.
Looking at this glittering and translucent bloodstone that has good texture and color and looks like fresh chicken blood, Li Yong suddenly likes it and is unwilling to give it back. His intuition tells him that the price of the bloodstone has been multiplied several times.
It’s just that it consumed three wisps of his spiritual power, which makes him feel heartache.
He doesn’t know if he has gained or lost. The spiritual power has been wasted anyway, so he decides to buy it.
