"How is it?"
"What kind of material came out?"
When Qin Xuan and Hu Zi'an arrived at the factory, Wu Mintian was already there. He also wanted to see if there was anything good in the abandoned mine that Qin Xuan insisted on buying.
Sun Ling, the newly hired person in charge, quickly led the three to the cutting workshop. At the same time, she excitedly told them in Longguo language, "It's glutinous ice jade material, full green, and it's very large, about seventy kilograms!"
"Look, apart from some of the outer skin, it's almost all green inside."
Arriving in front of the cut rough stone, Sun Ling used a strong flashlight to show everyone the results of this cut.
The green was rippling, and it was indeed standard bright green.
"My partner and I have discussed it. If the jade inside hasn't mutated, this piece of jade can yield at least five to six hundred bangles."
"If each bangle is valued at a million, the conservative value of this piece of material is around 600 million Longguo coins!"
Sun Ling professionally analyzed the value of the rough stone for Qin Xuan, who nodded slightly, appreciating her professionalism.
However, Wu Mintian was not as calm as Qin Xuan.
This rough stone was worth 600 million Longguo coins.
This meant that Qin Xuan had earned back the entire mine with just this one piece of jade!
This was an incredibly outrageous situation among the many jade mine owners in Jiaose Village.
What was even more outrageous was that this mine was a notoriously abandoned mountain in the area.
In the past, countless professional teams, both domestic and international, had surveyed the mineral veins on-site.
The conclusion was invariably the same: all were barren mines with no jade veins.
But Qin Xuan?
He only took a couple of glances at the site and then resolutely bought it.
This foresight was simply miraculous!
Thinking of this, Wu Mintian suddenly froze.
If he remembered correctly, when Qin Xuan selected rough stones, he seemed to only need to glance at them, without needing a strong flashlight as an auxiliary tool.
He hadn't paid much attention to it in the past, but now that he thought about it, it was absolutely absurd.
Could it be that this young brother Qin Xuan really had a pair of x-ray eyes that could see through rough stones?
Just as Wu Mintian was lost in thought, Sun Ling's exclamation pulled him back to reality.
Qin Xuan had selected a few more rough stones from the unsorted pile.
The worst was a glutinous ice green clear base, small in size, possibly yielding a small-sized bangle.
The best, the one that made Sun Ling exclaim, was a rough stone the size of a basketball.
As per Qin Xuan's request, the stone cutter had only lightly ground away some of the outer skin.
But even so, a rich purple color playfully jumped into everyone's eyes from this small window.
"My heavens, boss, you're truly divine!"
"This color, this clarity!"
"This is clearly a piece of glass-like purple jade!"
"And it's the most precious imperial purple among purple jades!"
Sun Ling's mouth gaped exaggeratedly as she looked at Qin Xuan, and she eagerly carried the rough stone into the sunlight.
As a ray of sunlight shone on the ground-out window of the rough stone, the jade's purple color not only did not fade but became even more alluring.
"Crystal clear, lustrous, uniform and full."
"The rich purple color did not fade even in natural light, and even became more vibrant!"
"I dare say, if a bangle can be made from this material, its value could even rival imperial green!"
Handing the rough stone back to the stone cutter, Sun Ling analyzed it with great excitement.
Qin Xuan smiled slightly.
Imperial green?
Ordinary imperial green might not be comparable to this.
Making a gesture, Qin Xuan said to the stone cutter in fluent Myanmar language, "Just remove all the skin from the entire rough stone."
"Be gentle, don't damage the jade flesh inside."
The stone cutter nodded and then carefully polished the skin according to Qin Xuan's request.
When he had removed all the skin, everyone present, except for Qin Xuan, stared blankly at the jade, stunned.
The jade, apart from its skin, had no impurities.
The texture of the jade was uniform and delicate, with old and rich water content.
Under the sunlight, it was as transparent and bright as a giant purple crystal, almost perfect without any artificial carving.
Sun Ling looked at the jade in front of her, her mouth agape in surprise.
She wanted to explain its value to Qin Xuan but couldn't utter a word.
As the person in charge of the mine, Sun Ling's understanding of jade was arguably the deepest among those present.
It was precisely because she understood that it was even harder to give an accurate price.
Before this, the world's largest glass-like purple jade was the "Star of Zhaoyi" located in the capital of Longguo.
It weighed 9499 carats, or 1899.8 grams.
Glass-like, pinkish-purple hue, it was the most expensive in the current purple jade world, valued at 600 million Longguo coins.
But this one in front of her was not only larger and clearer than the "Star of Zhaoyi," but its color was also the imperial purple that did not fade in light.
This piece of jade was simply the ultimate ceiling of purple jade, something that should only exist in imagination.
Therefore, its value was simply immeasurable!
Just as Sun Ling was racking her brains to give Qin Xuan a reference, Qin Xuan spoke.
He gently picked up the jade, a sweet curve lifting the corner of his mouth, "Sun Ling, please help me publicize this widely through the major media."
"Preferably in a way that the whole world can know."
"Oh! Boss, you want to build hype for this purple jade and then auction it globally?"
Sun Ling's eyes lit up, thinking, "Boss is indeed a boss!"
"He came up with something I hadn't thought of so easily."
Qin Xuan shook his head slightly, "No, just publicity is enough."
"Once this piece of jade gains fame, send it to Shang Ya Jewelry in Jiangcheng, Longguo."
"Shang Ya Jewelry?" Sun Ling was surprised, "Is this a jewelry company that boss owns himself?"
"Of course not!"
"Shang Ya Jewelry is the company of my sister-in-law, Xiao Ya," Hu Zi'an said preemptively before Qin Xuan could speak.
Sun Ling knew about the relationship between the two and directly asked, "Does the boss want to give this piece of jade to his beloved?"
Qin Xuan nodded.
"A jewelry group must have a few signature pieces. Although she already has two imperial green bangles, good things are never too many."
My goodness.
Sun Ling's head buzzed.
Having two imperial green bangles as signature pieces wasn't enough, and now another top-grade imperial purple was needed!
Could this be the world of the rich?
She didn't understand, but she was full of envy.
If, one day, a man were willing to give me such a top-grade imperial purple...
Forget dating, I'd agree to get married directly!
After carefully putting away the imperial purple, Qin Xuan and the others did not watch the dismantling of other materials.
This was because in jade mines, most of the materials were relatively ordinary. Treasures like imperial purple and imperial green were rare occurrences that happened once in a hundred years.
After all, no one was foolish. If it weren't valuable enough, why would people spend so much money to buy it?
