This stone would fetch hundreds of millions.
He hadn't been here for just a day or two, but he had seen how crazy people could be.
Let alone imperial green, even ice jade or high ice were bid up to tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
This imperial green raw stone was basically full of green. Even though the initial window opening was a bit large and damaged some of it, it should be possible to extract five to six kilograms.
What was five to six kilograms of imperial green?
A finger-sized gem cut alone was worth hundreds of thousands or even millions. This stone would definitely not be less than hundreds of millions.
Jiang Qixin handed several stacks of cash to the two men and carried the stone out.
Many people outside heard about the great strike here and squeezed over.
They all wanted to see what was happening.
Jiang Qixin, disregarding his status at this moment, hugged the stone and hurried out, afraid of being blocked inside by these people.
He only discovered Guo Xuyang waiting for him behind the car when he reached the parking lot.
"You insisted on cutting it even though I told you not to. Why bother?" Guo Xuyang said with a smile, looking at Jiang Qixin.
"I did it on purpose. I was a bit annoyed by what that kid said just now."
"How old are you? Still getting upset with young people?
Look at you now, puffing and panting with such a big stone. Feeling better?"
"Stop the sarcasm, hurry up and go."
Jiang Qixin said as he put the opened raw stone into the trunk.
"I was almost blocked inside just now and couldn't get out."
Guo Xuyang started the car and stepped on the accelerator to drive away.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Qixin, not long after he left, the news of the imperial green being cut in the shop spread.
In his haste to leave, he hadn't even taken away the small piece that was opened. The tall man sold it on the spot for 130,000.
That was imperial green, more than enough to make several gem cuts.
The short man wanted to celebrate with a feast, but was sent away with the change in the tall man's hand.
This was the same celebratory feast Jiang Qixin had given him and the stone cutter.
Several stacks of cash were not a small amount.
However, the tall man didn't keep it all. He transferred 30,000 to the stone cutter. As for the short man, he didn't give him anything.
This was because the short man was not involved in the stone cutting at all.
The short man got angry and had a falling out with the tall man because of this.
However, Jiang Qixin didn't care about any of this.
He was now rushing back with Guo Xuyang.
There was no other way; the raw stones in the car were too precious.
If these stones were not removed promptly, the car itself might be in danger.
"Mr. Jiang, what are you planning to do with these jades?"
Guo Xuyang asked.
"I originally wanted to ask you to help me pick out a couple of stones to make jewelry for Liu Fengqin. Her situation is still unclear, so I'll leave them at your shop for now."
"So that's why you wanted to drag me to Zhenbao Pavilion? You were preparing gifts for your future sister-in-law."
"You've made me unsure. They say that people in love have the lowest IQ. I didn't expect to make such a mistake."
"That's just my guess. Perhaps Ms. Liu has truly been conquered by your charm?"
"Let's wait for the investigation results before saying anything. I didn't think this through clearly."
"Will this affect your relationship with her?"
"This investigation doesn't involve asking her directly, so of course it won't have any impact," Jiang Qixin said.
"If you two do end up together in the future, don't tell her anything I said today, or she'll hate me forever."
"She's not that petty. Give them a call, will you? Don't close shop this late."
Jiang Qixin reminded him.
"They shouldn't be closed at this hour.
I'll call Mr. Wu. He's not in the capital right now.
I don't have Wu Bing's number."
Guo Xuyang said and dialed Wu Youzhi's number.
"Mr. Wu, where are you?
I'm in the capital now. Could you help me call Wu Bing? I found a few stones today and will be sending them to the shop soon.
Ask him to arrange for a craftsman to cut them out.
Okay, please send me the number to my phone.
How is sister-in-law? Soon, alright, I'll be waiting for your wedding banquet. Okay, goodbye!"
"Is Old Wu having a baby?" Jiang Qixin asked.
"Yes. Judging by the timing, it should be soon. It should be after Xiao Xi."
"When is Xiao Xi due?"
"It should be within these few days. I'll head back tomorrow after I'm done with this."
As Guo Xuyang was speaking, his phone buzzed with a text message.
"I'll call Wu Bing first."
Guo Xuyang said and dialed Wu Bing's number.
"Brother Bing, it's Guo Xuyang. Are you at the shop? That's great.
I found a few stones and will be sending them to your shop right away.
Alright, I should be there in about ten minutes. Okay, goodbye!"
While Guo Xuyang was on the phone, Jiang Qixin also received a call.
"Yes, yes. So, there are no problems? Okay.
Where is she now? Mingjiu Wu? Send me the location, that's all."
"Wu Bing is at the shop, they haven't closed yet."
Guo Xuyang said to Jiang Qixin.
"That's perfect. They just called me back. Ms. Liu is quite a decent person.
She studied in China, and after graduating with a film major, she entered the entertainment industry but didn't achieve much fame.
Two years ago, she signed with Xiao Xi's San Dao Liang Film and Television Group, but didn't get any important roles, mostly supporting ones."
"That's a coincidence? Let's ask her to dinner later and get acquainted."
"That's a must. I asked just now, and they are currently eating cuisine at Mingjiu Wu."
"Then it's too late for us to go there now?" Guo Xuyang said.
"Not too late. They just went in a short while ago. They should have just finished work."
"Then call her in advance. Don't let them eat too quickly.
We'll go after we drop off the stones at the shop. Do you know the place?"
"The location has been sent to my phone. Let me see."
"Then I'll drive the car directly to the shop entrance," Guo Xuyang said, accelerating.
Fortunately, there weren't too many cars on the road at this time, nor did they encounter any traffic jams.
Otherwise, it would have taken much longer than ten minutes to reach the shop.
"Mr. Guo, how come you have time today?" Wu Bing was already waiting for them at the entrance.
"I just flew back from the United States today. Mr. Jiang took me to a place to find some stones.
When you get back, find someone to cut them.
These three are Mr. Jiang's. For specifics, you can contact him directly when he returns.
Put these three in the shop.
Especially this one, it's a raw stone for a decorative piece. Be very careful with the polishing, and absolutely do not damage its structure."
Guo Xuyang instructed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Guo. Our shop's craftsmen are very skilled, and there won't be any problems."
"Alright then, I won't disturb you any further. We'll get together another time."
Guo Xuyang greeted Wu Bing and was about to leave with Jiang Qixin.
"Mr. Jiang, could you please leave your phone number?" Wu Bing quickly said.
"You can contact Old Wu. He has my number."
Jiang Qixin said to Wu Bing before getting into the car.
