Ye Wanwan brought Feng Xuan Yi, Nameless Nie and the others downstairs and met up with Xue Li and the group of experts.
Other than Eleven and Feng Xuan Yi, Ye Wanwan also brought five new faces with her. There was a total of eight people and it was quite a sight to behold.
Xue Li furrowed his brows and didn't care who she brought with her. He said directly, "Miss Ye, we have limited time this time, so let's not waste any more time. We'll head straight to the biggest store in H city, Hui Cui Workshop. Director Qin already arranged everything beforehand and got the boss to reserve a batch of high-quality materials for us."
The three experts behind Xue Li were all Qin Ruo Xi's people. At this moment, they all spoke up, "Miss Ye, this trip is very worry-free. Director Qin is very familiar with the market in H city and is more experienced than us. She already did a lot of research beforehand."
"That's right, the goods were personally picked by director Qin so there won't be any mistakes. You just have to buy them and pay the bill!"
The tone of these people was quite polite, but it was obvious that their words were full of mockery, treating her like a decoration.
Ye Wanwan didn't refute them. She merely smiled and said, "Alright, let's go take a look!"
H city was indeed the city of stone gambling in Myanmar. The streets were filled with shops of all sizes and there were jade merchants, rich bosses and tourists from all over the world. The streets were bustling with noise and excitement.
The so-called stone gambling was a term in the jewelry industry. When the jade was just mined, it was wrapped in a layer of weathered skin. With the current level, no matter what survey method was used, it was impossible to know the quality of the raw stone and whether there was jade in the stone or not. The quality of the jade could only be known after it was cut.
If there was jade inside after cutting it open and it was of high quality, they'd win the gamble. If there was nothing inside and it was just a piece of useless stone, they'd lose the gamble.
The price of raw stones nowadays was a few hundred pieces while those with good quality and high jade could go from hundreds of thousands to millions or even hundreds of millions. Once they lost the gamble, they would go bankrupt. Of course, if they won, they would get tens to hundreds of times the returns and become rich overnight.
The jewelry industry was one of the main businesses of the Si Corporation and jade business was a large part of it.
To the jade business, the most important part was the purchase of raw stones.
For example, not long ago, a competitor of the Si Family's jewelry store obtained a piece of top-grade old pit glass type jade through stone gambling. It was priceless and instantly became famous, attracting a large number of top customers.
Seeing that Ye Wanwan was looking around, a trace of disdain flashed across Xue Li's eyes. "Miss Ye, you don't have to look at these little shops by the roadside. Not to mention the inferior materials, there are also a lot of counterfeits. Fake leather, pasting, painting, disguising weathering... you don't know anything at all, so you'll be cheated easily!"
Under Xue Li's lead, the group arrived at one of the largest stone gambling stores in H City, Hui Cui Workshop.
In the spacious and bright hall downstairs, the shelves were filled with stones of various sizes. Many people were holding magnifying glasses and flashlights in their hands, carefully examining the raw stones.
As soon as Ye Wan Wan and the others entered the door, a sharp-eyed shop assistant warmly welcomed them.
"Yo, Mr. Xue, you're here. Please come in!"
Xue Li and Qin Ruo Xi had been here many times before, so the employee recognized him at first glance. Knowing that he was a senior executive of Country Z's Si Corporation, he was naturally attentive.
