"The current chairman of Tianlu Jewelry is my family!" Wang Gui no longer dared to underestimate Ye Qing and said with a smile:
"But she is the eldest daughter of the Wang family, so she is far from a pheasant like me.
She just had a hard life. Less than a month after marrying into the Chen family, her husband went out to do business and never came back.
It was she who endured her grief and took over the company. After twenty years of hard work, Tianlu Jewelry now has a market value of tens of billions.
It's a pity that the Chen family has many wealthy people, but she only has an only daughter.
The old man of the Chen family is worried that if she transfers the shares to Chen Lu, after Chen Lu gets married in the future, Tianlu Jewelry will change owners.
So I want the eldest grandson of my second wife to take over the company.
Therefore, although she is the chairman, she is also surrounded by enemies. Chen Lu is running around and working hard just to prove herself. "
Ye Qing was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Chen Lu to be so stressed.
"Family businesses are all like this!" An Ruoxi said with a faint smile:
"Just like our sericulture family, the Liu family holds 51% of the shares and the An family holds 49%, but all 49% of the shares are scattered among family members.
In order for me to have the absolute right to speak, Mengxi transferred its shares to me.
In this aspect, I have to admire Xiaoye. At the beginning of the business, the shares were clearly divided, with only Wu Ye and Xiao Ye holding shares.
Giving money to others is considered a gift. Giving money is a sign of affection but not giving it is a duty. It's like a little girl who has such a miserable life and is fighting with each other all day long. "
Ye Qing turned his head and glanced at An Mengxi: "So, this time, Sister Mengxi starts a business and holds the shares alone!"
An Mengxi smiled playfully: "I have to learn a lesson too! Otherwise, the money I have worked so hard to earn will be taken away with confidence, and you have nothing to do, how unfair it is!"
Please let me know if I will join forces with Master Ye Wu this time. "
Ye Qing shook his head and smiled: "You guessed wrong this time. If this project can be successfully approved, neither I nor Fifth Brother will hold any shares."
An Mengxi looked at him suspiciously: "Why is that?"
"Because it's Sister Jun Yi who is cooperating with you this time, and I'm just a consultant behind the scenes!" Ye Qing said with a smile: "Don't worry, there's nothing else. I'm just helping Sister Jun Yi build a family business!"
An Mengxi's beautiful eyes widened. She knew better than anyone how big this industry would be in the future, and she said in shock: "You are serious."
Ye Qing nodded affirmatively: "Of course!"
An Mengxi couldn't believe it and asked, "Will Liu Yue agree to what you do?"
"The money invested in the shares originally belongs to Sister Jun Yi, I am just taking care of it!" Ye Qing explained seriously:
"As for your concerns, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised."
An Mengxi wanted to ask more, but was kicked by her sister. Then she realized that asking these private questions in front of outsiders would make Ye Qing unable to come to the stage. She apologized: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper!"
"It doesn't matter, it's just human nature!" Ye Qing chuckled and said: "Besides, you and Liu Yue are classmates and best friends, so you should be worried about her rights being damaged.
However, you don't understand my relationship with Liu Yue. We are brothers and sisters first, and then we are an unmarried couple.
Everything I have was given to her before our relationship was established. "
When An Ruoxin heard that Ye Qing didn't care about An Mengxi's rudeness, she smiled and said:
"My doting on Liu Yue has reached the point of envy and jealousy. Even if Liu Yue wants a star in the sky, I will help her get one."
"It's not that exaggerated, I really can't get the stars!" Ye Qing laughed at himself:
"I grew up stealing Liu Yue's job since I was a child. I can never repay the kindness of the Liu family's mother in raising and teaching her."
Although An Mengxi had many doubts in her heart, she resisted asking any more questions.
Wang Changan and Wang Gui had already heard from everyone's gossip that this young man in his twenties, a master of stone gambling, not only had a rich net worth, but also had an extraordinary background. He toasted Ye Qing three times in a row and said he was disrespectful.
Ye Qing looked at Wang Gui with a smile: "There are many stone gambling shops in Guangdong, why do you want to come to Tengchong to gamble on stones!"
Wang Gui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The current situation of Jie Gao and Delong is the current situation of Guangdong. The stones in the stone gambling workshop are all kilograms of material, and it is difficult to produce high-quality goods.
The materials for the public sale are all in the hands of jewelry companies, but the postponement of the public sale in Yangon and the blockade of the Rayleigh Jade Association have forced these jewelry companies to cut stones by themselves to cope with the dilemma. Good stones are no longer available on the market.
Only Tengchong is a distribution center for rough stones, and there may be good stones, so I came here to try my luck. "
"Why don't you go to Wa City!" Ye Qing said in surprise.
"Myanmar produces raw jade stones, but Myanmar is also a master at counterfeiting!" Wang Gui smiled even more bitterly:
“Really good goods are all in the hands of private mine owners. We searched all over the market outside and couldn’t find good materials.
If you don't go to Wacheng often, or if you have an acquaintance to guide you, you won't be able to find good stones. "
"Stones can still be faked!" An Mengxi asked in surprise.
When he mentioned this, Wang Changan, Wang Gui and even Ye Qing had bitter expressions on their faces.
Wang Changan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "As long as there is enough profit, businessmen can take risks.
Moreover, stone gambling is the most difficult, risky, wide-ranging, knowledge-based and experience-based part of the jadeite industry.
The reason is that stones are very complex and changeable, and it is often difficult to distinguish between true and false.
As old mines reduce production, they are mothballed.
The price of rough stones is getting higher and higher, and the methods of counterfeiting are becoming more and more bizarre, making it difficult for people to guard against. The older generation of stone gambling masters have fallen into disgrace and have to withdraw from the stone gambling circle. "
He took a sip of red wine, glanced at the people who were listening quietly, and sighed:
“The most common method is to use colorless jadeite with good texture, dig a hole from the middle to a few millimeters on the surface, apply green materials, such as green paint, and use tin foil paper, and then close the mouth.
This kind of fake jadeite rough stone has shell characteristics that are similar to those of natural jadeite.
There is also a method called drilling holes. You don’t dare to gamble when you encounter a good stone. In order to know the internal situation, you first drill a small hole.
If the texture is poor, colorless or discolored, fill the hole with children's toothpaste. Because the drilled area is so small, most people can't find it at all.
The most unscrupulous thing is to fake weathering, poor quality jade or make fake shells for other reasons. In order to cover up its artificial traces, the stone is buried in the soil and corroded by acid or alkali and other corrosives around it.
This will allow the leather shell to behave similarly to natural weathering marks, making it difficult to tell whether it is genuine or fake.
There are also fake leather, fake colors, real and fake color mixing, fake images, inlaid patches, skylight caps, hollowing out and anti-reflection, etc.
It can be said that they are so diverse that if you don't have a keen eye, you can't tell them apart at all, and taking medicine has become a daily routine. "
The girls suddenly heard about all the unimaginable ways to fake jadeite stones, and then they realized that it was no accident that Ye Qing's bets on stones increased every time.
An Mengxi looked at Ye Qing in surprise: "Aren't you really like the Great Sage who has developed a pair of piercing eyes?"
Ye Qing nodded affirmatively, looked up and down at her slim but graceful figure, and said with a wicked smile: "Not as good as Sun Dasheng, but she still has clairvoyance powers!"
"Go away, is this kind of joke funny?" An Mengxi glared at him angrily, but couldn't help but avoid his gaze.
Everyone laughed loudly together.
An Mengxi was ashamed and annoyed. She rolled her eyes at him fiercely and picked up the goblet: "Come on, sister, I want to toast you a few glasses. Let's do it first as a token of respect."
Before Ye Qing could raise the glass, he drank it all in one gulp, picked up the bottle and glared at him fiercely.
Ye Qing laughed and drank it all in one gulp.
Although An Mengxi was a girl, she had a large capacity for drinking. She drank three glasses of wine with Ye Qing in a row. Her face was red and her eyes were as deep and charming as the stars, which also stirred up the atmosphere.
The group of people left happily. When they were leaving, Wang Changan and Wang Gui made an appointment to go to Xue Xiaoyu's house to gamble on stones. Ye Qing nodded and agreed.
An Ruoxin was anxious to see the carved jade and left first.
An Mengxi, Ye Qing and others took the Range Rover back to the hotel together.
When they arrived at the hotel, Ye Qing gave An Mengxi a room to take a rest first.
When I returned to my room, I saw Xue Xiaoyu sitting cross-legged on the sofa, with a serious face and a pair of small hands quickly typing on the laptop keyboard.
Shen Junyi was sitting aside. When she saw the two coming back, she asked with a smile: "Have you eaten yet?"
"Have you eaten? Have you eaten?" Ye Qing sat down next to Xue Xiaoyu.
Shen Junyi smiled bitterly and said: "I have already ordered food, but this girl is going crazy and she still refuses to eat!"
"Stop talking, we're about to succeed." Xue Xiaoyu shouted dissatisfied.
Ye Qing looked at the computer screen. A sweet potato-shaped rough stone had been spliced together, but inside the rough stone, there were countless red lines spreading little by little along the direction of the cracks in the rough stone.
Xue Xiaoyu typed on the keyboard one last time, looked at the original stone wrapped in red threads, smiled with satisfaction, and leaned back on the sofa.
"What are you doing!" Ye Qing stared at the screen suspiciously.
"Help you analyze the direction and size of the cracks in this rough stone with imperial cracks!"
Xue Xiaoyu glared at him dissatisfied: "What about the surprise you mentioned? You won't forget it, will you?"
"Go and eat first, I'll give it to you later!" Ye Qing said with a smile.
"Don't fool me!" Xue Xiaoyu waved his fist threateningly before getting up to eat!
"How much is missing from this rough stone!"
"At least one-sixth!" Xue Xiaoyu held the food, sat next to him, and tapped the keyboard with one hand. Thirteen sliced rough stones appeared on the screen, with a large corner missing, and she said proudly:
"I stretched the rough stone. According to the original weight of the stone, which was 380 kilograms, the calculation result showed that the missing piece was about 50 kilograms."
Ye Qing was shocked and said: "So, there are fifty kilograms of glass filled with green jade, and it was hidden by the master."
"Don't be complacent!" Xue Xiaoyu continued to type on the keyboard. A rough stone wrapped in red lines appeared on the screen, and said in a low tone:
"Did you see that the cracks on one end spread across the entire rough stone? They were so fine and scary that they looked like large gravel.
But by the tenth slice, the cracks started to get bigger, and by the thirteenth slice..."
Ye Qing was surprised and said: "In other words, the cracks in the jade hidden by Master are no longer so scary!"
"Yes, according to the changes in the spread of the red line, the last part that disappeared, the fragments ranged from one centimeter to two centimeters. If these jadeites are still valuable!"
Xue Xiaoyu sighed. The glass was filled with green and priceless treasures, but it was a pity that it was broken into pieces.
Ye Qing stood up suddenly, hugged her, and jumped up happily.
"What are you doing!" Xue Xiaoyu slapped him on the shoulder crazily and shouted to Shen Junyi and Bai Hu: "Help!"
"How can you save your life!" Bai Hu came over in a funny way and gave her a cute look:
"How dare Ye Qing do anything to you in front of the two of us, okay, stop making trouble, let go of Xiao Yu and tell us what's going on!"
Ye Qing then smiled, put Xue Xiaoyu down embarrassedly, and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm so happy."
"Is my apology useful?" Xue Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and glared at him: "It's shameless of you to use such a clumsy excuse to take advantage of this girl."
"No, no!" Ye Qing smiled and waved his hands: "You have made a great contribution this time!"
"Such a small jadeite is really useful!" Xue Xiaoyu's eyes widened in surprise.
"I can't fasten bracelets and brands, but I can fasten egg noodles and beads!" Ye Qing laughed and said:
"The price of each egg noodle like this is millions, millions. If the color is the same, it can be made into beads and necklaces.
At last year's Sotheby's auction, a glass scallion necklace was auctioned for HK$9.1 million. "
Xue Xiaoyu was shocked: "Then how much is this piece of jade worth!"
"At least two billion!" Ye Qing let out a sigh of relief, leaned on the sofa, and finally relaxed after being depressed for a long time.
"Two billion, and it's still up..." Shen Junyi stuttered.
"This is estimated based on last year's price. The market price has increased several times this year!"
Ye Qing took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement: "Let me tell you, how can the old fox be tricked by someone with his cunningness?"
"How much is that!" Xue Xiaoyu said in shock.
"Not every necklace can be sold at the auction price." Ye Qing said slowly:
“So, you have to discount 9.1 million Hong Kong dollars in half, which is around 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars.
Then if the price quadruples this year, a glass necklace filled with green would cost around 15 million to 20 million.
A hundred pounds of glass filled with green can make as many necklaces and egg noodles as possible.
Think about it for yourself, how many high-quality products I have produced with my two fist-sized glass seeds, which weigh less than four kilograms. "
Xue Xiaoyu was immediately stimulated and threw herself at Ye Qing desperately: "Rewards, I want rewards. If you don't satisfy me, I'll beat you to death!"
Ye Qing was thrown onto the sofa by her, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and said with a wry smile:
"I originally planned to give you a pair of green glass earrings to give to your mother when you go home tomorrow, but now it seems that you can't get this reward.
