"Take this one, you can cut this one open," he placed a rough stone weighing four or five jin into Xu Dahai's hand.
"It's too small. What can be cut from it?"
"Trust me and cut it open. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Alright, I'll go right away." Xu Dahai picked up the rough stone and went to Gu Linan to pay for cutting.
Guo Xuyang looked around again and found a piece with a natural stone lock inside. He picked it up.
Little Guo Yishun's hundred-day celebration was approaching, and this natural longevity lock was quite good.
The quality was decent, reaching high ice.
"Let's go? We'll pay the bill." Guo Xuyang led a few people to Gu Linan to settle the bill.
Xu Dahai was staring at the stone cutter's hands, watching him cut the stone.
The stone cutter was very careful. He only drew a line on it and did not cut it in half.
This stone was too small. If there were any good items inside, cutting it in half would completely destroy them.
"Boss, how much for these few pieces?" Guo Xuyang asked, pointing to the stones in Xiao Yun's and the others' hands.
"Let's weigh them. I'll charge you three thousand each," Gu Linan waved to a young man.
The young man placed all the stones in Xiao Yun's and the others' hands on the scale.
"Eight stones, a total of sixty-seven kilograms. Two million and ten thousand." the young man said.
"You and President Xu are friends, so I'll give you a 20% discount. Just give me 1.6 million," Gu Linan said.
"How could I impose on you like this?" Guo Xuyang said politely.
"Just bring more friends next time you come to play. I hope you'll patronize us often."
"Then thank you, boss." Guo Xuyang said as he handed over his card.
The young man took the card, swiped it, and handed it back directly.
"A huge profit! It's actually imperial green glass species!" the stone cutter shouted.
Everyone's attention was drawn to them.
"Master, please help me cut them all open," Xu Dahai said happily.
Seeing Guo Xuyang and the others standing nearby, he called out, "Yangzi, I'll treat you to a whole experience later."
"Master Xu, I have another piece here. Please help me cut it open too," Ye Zi said, handing over a stone weighing seven or eight kilograms.
"Ye Zi, did Yangzi pick this for you?"
"No, I picked it myself. Please help me cut it open and see how it is."
"And mine too," Yu'er also handed over a stone.
Guo Xuyang smiled faintly. These two vixen were about to cause trouble.
They were planning to dig out Gu Linan's heart.
He could already imagine Gu Linan's heart bleeding.
"Then I'll wait outside for you." Fearing the situation might get out of control, he decided to slip away.
"Wait a moment, my stone is about to be cut open," Xu Dahai shouted loudly.
"Remember to give out red envelopes when it's cut open. Do you have cash?"
"Is twenty thousand enough?"
"It's fine. Having the intention is enough. I'll have these few stones sent to the car first. Boss Gu, please arrange for someone to help us send them."
"Xiao Wu, help this brother send these few stones out. Brother, aren't you going to cut these pieces open?"
"Not anymore. I'll take them back as a memento." Guo Xuyang thought that if he cut these open, you might faint from shock.
"Welcome back next time," Gu Linan said, shaking hands with Guo Xuyang.
"Sure, sure." Guo Xuyang said as he followed Xiao Wu.
"You guys lend a hand. Send these rough stones to the antique street later. Li Ping and Xiao Yu, remember your numbers, they are for you. The remaining four pieces, cut them open and sell them directly in the shop."
"Thank you, President Guo," Xu Li Ping said.
"Don't be so polite. If you want to keep them to make jewelry, you can. If not, you can sell them through the shop. The money from the sales will be yours."
"Thank you, President Guo. We'll see how it goes after they're cut open. If there are many, we'll sell some," Xiao Yu said.
She knew that Guo Xuyang was looking out for her because her rough stone was the largest among them.
"Brother Guo, we've struck it rich! Don't leave, I'm treating for a whole week!"
Xu Dahai came bounding out of the villa, shouting loudly.
"Did you sell it or keep it?"
"Why would I keep it? I sold it directly. This much." Xu Dahai held up three fingers.
"Hmm, not bad," Guo Xuyang nodded.
Xu Dahai saw Guo Xuyang's expression was a bit off, and he slapped his forehead. "Look at me, I was too happy and forgot to tell you about selling the jade. Should I ask for it back?"
"You can't get it back. He gave you almost half of what it's worth. That piece can be made into a bracelet, two rings, several pendants, and stud earrings. It's worth five to six hundred million."
"Don't scare me. I just resold it for over two hundred million?"
"How much did you buy it for?"
"Less than fifty thousand."
"Then it's settled. You've already made three hundred million, what else do you want?"
"That's true. But he's being too unreasonable, isn't he?"
"It was a willing transaction, so you can't say whether it's reasonable or not. You're here, where are Ye Zi and the others?"
"I was so happy reporting the good news to you that I forgot. Their stones haven't been cut yet."
"Go back again. If Ye Zi's is sold, then let it be. Have Yu'er bring hers back. Also, whatever happened just now, absolutely do not tell Gu Linan."
"Understood. I know what to do," Xu Dahai said and returned to the villa.
"Why are we not letting Yu'er's be sold?" Xu Li Ping asked.
"Her piece is of quite good quality. It's better to sell it in our shop. Ye Zi's piece is a bit ordinary, so selling it here is fine."
Hearing this, Xu Li Ping became filled with anticipation for the few pieces of jade in the car.
Guo Xuyang didn't let them cut stones inside because he was afraid of causing a sensation, which meant the material inside the rough stones must be extraordinary.
As she was thinking, Ye Zi and Yu'er came out.
"Yangzi, guess how much I earned?"
"Tens of millions?"
"A large sum."
"Impossible! How can it be so much?"
"Master Xu asked for it. He went directly to the boss to ask for it."
"Where's the material?"
"I gave it to him."
"Where's Yu'er's material?"
"It's with Master Xu. He helped me carry it out. It's a bit heavy," Yu'er said.
As they were speaking, Xu Dahai came out.
"Yangzi, put this in your car."
He was holding a not-too-regular spherical jade, entirely dark green.
"Gu Linan wanted to buy this for five hundred million, but I refused and just carried it out."
"He did offer a reasonable price. What was going on with Ye Zi's just now?"
"I told him that Ye Zi is my apprentice, and that piece of material should not be less than one hundred million, otherwise I wouldn't sell it. Perhaps he felt a bit guilty, so he gave Ye Zi that much."
"Hmm. Let's get in the car. We'll send these materials back first and lock them in the safe. Then we'll find a place to eat."
