Jade Stone Acquisition Shop.

"A total of five hundred thousand, all transferred to your account, sir."

Chen Wei took out his phone to confirm, the amount was exactly five hundred thousand.

"Mr. Chen, here’s my business card. If you have more jade like this in the future, please remember me, I’ll guarantee you the fairest price," said the buyer.

"Mhm," Chen Wei agreed.

He then left with Su Yumei.

"With the way things are, if you’re willing, making tens of millions a day in a place like this would be a breeze," Su Yumei said, not exaggerating at all.

But Chen Wei’s reply was even more astonishing, "You can change ’tens’ to ’billions’."

"Getting cocky just because I complimented you a bit, don’t brag too much. Who do you think you are to talk about hundreds of billions? It’s not that easy to make money," Su Yumei said, looking down with her eyes looking up, seeming to roll her eyes at Chen Wei.

"However, since you’re so capable, it looks like my problems will be easily solved." Su Yumei asked with interest, "Where do you plan to buy jade next? A jade store? Or are you going to look at rough stones and carve them yourself?"

"I’ll buy rough stones and carve them myself. That way, it’s more cost-effective. There are too many old foxes around here; you never know how much they’ll gouge you if you buy finished products," Chen Wei shared his view.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you. Let’s go," she said.

...

After some searching, Chen Wei and Su Yumei eventually stopped at a jade stone shop that looked very well-decorated.

You could buy finished products there or pick your own rough stones to have them cut and processed, as clearly stated on the shop’s sign.

"Senior sister, let’s choose this shop. I’ve spotted a few good stones," Chen Wei suggested.

Hearing this, Su Yumei also looked over, but beyond their size, she couldn’t see any difference between the stones, so she asked, "Wei, you don’t actually have clairvoyant vision, do you?"

"Clairvoyant vision? Impossible! That kind of thing only exists on TV, in movies, and storybooks. If I really had clairvoyant powers, I wouldn’t need to be curious about what color you’re wearing today," Chen Wei denied with a shake of his head.

"What color?" Su Yumei glanced down, pulling up her skirt, "It’s just black..."

Her words suddenly caught in her throat, realizing something was amiss. What Chen Wei meant was certainly not about her outer clothing!

Wanting to hold him accountable, she saw that the rascal had already made his way inside the shop, even smiling and waving at her, "Senior sister, come on in."

This little rascal!

Su Yumei soon let it go, a smile on her face, "Coming."

"You two, I am the owner of this jade shop, Liu Xiangcheng. You’re here to buy rough stones, aren’t you?" came a voice as the shop owner walked out from the back.

"Yes, we are planning to pick some rough stones to make a few pieces of jewelry," confirmed Chen Wei.

"You look rather young, boss. You must not have been in this line of business for long. Our shop offers a master appraisal service that can greatly increase your chances at stone gambling," Liu Xiangcheng recommended.

"No need, I’ll just randomly pick a couple myself," Chen Wei decisively refused.

He’d rather trust his own eyes than those masters.

"Alright then, just call me if you pick one out. I’ll make sure to give you a fair price." Since Chen Wei was willing to spend money to learn his lesson, Liu Xiangcheng didn’t want to persist in discouraging him, lest the customer think him meddlesome and leave annoyed, possibly giving the competition an advantage.

Liu Xiangcheng had said what needed to be said, and if Chen Wei made a blunder, he couldn’t be blamed, much less held responsible.

It’s quite normal for young people to be vigorous, indeed they need setbacks to temper them.

"I’ve made my choice, these two," Chen Wei picked up two stones, one in each hand, one about the size of a basketball, and the other the size of an apple.

Seeing Chen Wei’s confident demeanor, Liu Xiangcheng felt like he was looking at himself from twenty years ago.

"How much money should I count?"

Chen Wei’s remark pulled Liu Xiangcheng back from his reverie. He nodded and said, "Okay, let me see. This piece is eight thousand, this piece I’ll take for twelve thousand, so a total of twenty thousand."

"Fine." When Chen Wei was ready to scan and pay, he didn’t forget to ask Su Yumei, "Senior sister, do you want to pick one too?"

He added, "It’s on me."

Su Yumei’s refusal was already on the tip of her tongue when she heard what he said, and she immediately expressed her agreement cheerfully, "Then okay, I’ll choose one."

Su Yumei casually picked a stone that she found reasonably pleasing to the eye, without any technique and simply based on her mood.

"How much for these three pieces?" Chen Wei asked Liu Xiangcheng again.

"For the three pieces, let’s still make it twenty thousand. That piece can be considered a gift from me." Liu Xiangcheng, seasoned and savvy, didn’t need to look closely to know that the rough stone Su Yumei had chosen couldn’t possibly contain any good jade.

"Alright, then I won’t haggle with you, twenty thousand, I’ve transferred it to you."

Once Liu Xiangcheng confirmed the payment was received, he asked, "Do you need help cutting it open?"

"Cut!"

Liu Xiangcheng started up the machine. Since the stone was rather large, a special larger machine was needed. The stone was secured in place, then covered with a lid to prevent any flying debris.

After several dozen seconds, the cut was successful.

Liu Xiangcheng lifted the lid and picked up the cut-off corner, assessing, "It’s definitely jade, but the quality is so poor, it’s basically garbage."

"Don’t rush, let’s check out the bigger piece." Chen Wei was very confident.

Liu Xiangcheng didn’t say anything and wiped the dust off the stone, only to be shocked the next moment by the mirror-like green, swallowing his saliva, "This, this is Glass Type! And such a large piece! Not a trace of cotton..."

Liu Xiangcheng had been in the jade business for many years and it was his first time seeing someone uncover jade of this grade through stone gambling. From the level of translucency, the quality appeared as if it would be even better further down into the stone.

It was more than just a profit, it was a huge profit!

A huge loss for himself!

"Looks like I bet correctly."

Afterwards, Chen Wei had Liu Xiangcheng peel off the skin of the rough stone to reveal the entire piece of jade. Aside from one significant crack, it was generally flawless.

The big crack didn’t matter because it would all be cut to make objects anyway.

Even for carving larger items, with a bit of artistry, that crack could be concealed, ensuring it was imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Could you please help me cut the remaining two stones as well?"

"Sure, sure..." Liu Xiangcheng’s speech had completely lost its earlier arrogance.

He certainly wasn’t as naive as Ding Yifan to think that Chen Wei had relied on luck alone.

Especially after cutting open the second stone, he exclaimed in surprise, "Top Grade Imperial Green!"

"Top Grade Imperial Green? It’s larger than the one before, so by that account, it should be at least five or six million, right?" Su Yumei also couldn’t hide her astonishment.

Hearing this, Liu Xiangcheng shook his head, "Too little. It’s at least ten million to start with, and after finding a master carver, it could at least triple or quadruple in value!"

Ten million to start with... tripling or quadrupling... that’s thirty to forty million!

Now Su Yumei no longer needed to doubt the "tall tales" that Chen Wei had spun before about making a hundred billion. He truly had the capability!

Seeing Chen Wei cut high-quality jade twice, Su Yumei also started to look forward to the stone she had chosen, wondering if it might yield something good.
