Afternoon.
An office on the second floor of Yun De Auction Company.
That piece of jade was placed on the floor carefully. Dong Xuebing finally had the time to look at it. This piece of jade was grey in color, and there were some black stripes on it. There was a small corner of the edge that had a green tint. Dong Xuebing shone the torchlight on it, and it was clear like a piece of ice. There were also signs of cutting on other parts of the stone, but there was no green tint.
"Do you want to cut it now?"
"The cheque is paid. Just cut it."
"Manager Qu, I had borrowed the cutting machine."
Everyone was nervous when they saw the stone.
Dong Xuebing was also the same. After all, he had not seen it with his own eyes and was not 100% sure.
In the room, Qu Yunxuan was holding on to Dong Xuebing's wheelchair tightly. Her heart was in her throat. Little Tao 'er clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and raised her head. She mumbled to herself as if she was praying to the heavens. Teacher Wei sighed as if he was not optimistic about the raw material in front of him. He had not even cut it, but he was already certain that it would not rise.
One minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Dong Xuebing said. "Teacher Wei, please cut it."
Teacher Wei could not bear to see his company ruined in his hands. He reminded Dong Xuebing again. "Manager Qu, it's not too late to change your mind. If this piece of jade is auctioned again, it should be able to fetch about 8 million RMB. At least you will not be bankrupt. But if you cut it now, it will be too late. You must consider this carefully. Our Auction Company is doing well now, and there is no need to take this risk!"
Dong Xuebing knew Teacher Wei was telling the truth and did not say anything.
Qu Yunxuan said. "Just cut it. I believe Xiao Bing will not be wrong."
Teacher Wei replied. "But how can you tell the value of the jade just by looking at it? Most of it depends on luck! "
Qu Yunxuan smiled. "Teacher Wei, I know you are doing this for our Auction Company. But this is a business, and it will not be smooth sailing for the rest of our lives. We must take a gamble when there is an opportunity. If we can't cut it out, I will accept it. But if we can cut out a bigger piece of Ice grade jade, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. With this money, we'll be able to develop even faster in the future, and we won't have to look at other people's faces. "
Teacher Wei knew that he could not persuade him, so he did not say anything. "Where should we go first?"
Qu Yunxuan looked to the side. "Let Xiao Bing decide."
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "Let's start from the area around the window."
"Alright." Since Teacher Wei had decided to do it, he did not dawdle. He picked up the cutting machine from the floor and inserted the bolt. He carried the machine to the side of the raw stone and asked Xiao Tao to turn the raw stone over. After that, Teacher Wei looked for the position where the cutting machine should be. He chose a spot a few centimeters to the left of the raw stone and pointed the cutting machine at that spot. He looked at Qu Yunxuan.
Qu Yunxuan sighed and nodded.
Teacher Wei flipped the switch, and the cutting machine was pressed down slowly!
An ear-piercing sound echoed in the room. The raw materials were worn down bit by bit, isolating the Ice Type jade next to them. About 10 seconds later, the cutting stopped. There was no new Ice Type jade, and the edge of the cutting machine was full of impurities. This was not a good start. However, Teacher Wei had already expected this to happen, so he didn't mind it too much. He calmed himself down and changed his position to start cutting again.
Screech! Screech! Screech!
The reason why he chose to cut around the exposed jade was that he wanted to see how far the Ice Type could extend. Like other things, the bigger the jade, the more valuable it was. If the whole stone was a sculpture of the Ice Type, it would undoubtedly fetch a sky-high price. However, if the whole stone only had a little bit of jade on the surface, even if it was a top-grade Ice Type jade, its value would not be too high. It could not even reach a million yuan.
One cut …
Five cuts …
Ten cuts …
When Teacher Wei switched off the cutting machine, the most depressing scene appeared!
Dong Xuebing, Qu Yunxuan, and the rest were shocked to see that there was nothing around that small piece of Ice grade Jade. The cutting machine had cut off the Jade, and Teacher Wei used his hand to hold the Jade in his hand. Judging from the size of the Jade, it was slightly bigger than before it was cut. But if this is the case, it can at most be made into an accessory or a few small necklaces or ring faces. This Ice grade Jade should be worth at most a few hundred thousand RMB!
10 million RMB had become a few hundred thousand RMB in an instant?!
This was too much for them to accept!
Teacher Wei sighed deeply. It's over. The company is finished.
Xiao Tao and Qu Yunxuan turned pale. Only Dong Xuebing still had a glimmer of hope. He felt this should not be the case. Aunt Xuan had told him over the phone. How can this be? Dong Xuebing was also not looking good. "There is still a big piece of stone left. Continue cutting!"
Xiao Tao tried to lie to herself. "That's right. Who knows, there might be some good stones left."
Teacher Wei knew this was not possible, but he did not say anything. He continued cutting the Ice Type jade.
One cut …
Ten cuts …
Twenty cuts …
As the Ice Type jade became smaller, everyone's heart sank. In the end, it was the lowest point.
There was less than a third of the original Ice Type jade left, and other than impurities, there was nothing left!
Teacher Wei looked at Qu Yunxuan. "Manager Qu."
Only Qu Yunxuan knew how much effort Yun De Auction Company had put into this company. She felt dizzy when she saw this scene. This Ice Type jade was gone? 10 million RMB was gone just like that? She and Xiao Bing still have to start all over again? Qu Yunxuan could not accept this.
Dong Xuebing shouted angrily. "Continue cutting! I don't believe it! "
Teacher Wei wanted to say something but sighed. He picked up the cutting machine again.
Screech! Screech! Screech!
Time passed by, and Qu Yunxuan, Xiao Tao, and the rest were staring at the remaining 1/4 of the uncut stones. Dong Xuebing clenched his fist. God, my ancestors, stop fooling around. Just give me the remaining 1/4 of the uncut stones. This is all I have. If I let you take all of it away, I will be bankrupt. How am I going to earn another 10 million RMB to set up a company? "Dong Xuebing thought to himself.
Creak creak. Teacher Wei's knife landed firmly again.
As the cutting machine passed by, sand and dust flew everywhere. It was all the fine powder on the raw materials.
"Eh?" Teacher Wei was stunned and looked at the Ice Type jade. "There seems to be something wrong!"
The atmosphere was tense!
Dong Xuebing's eyes brighten up. He pushed his wheelchair and rushed over. Qu Yunxuan and Xiao Tao also rushed over. Teacher Wei was squatting there, wiping the Ice Type jade with his hands. Xiao Tao quickly passed him a flashlight, and Teacher Wei took it from her. He shone the flashlight on the Ice Type jade, and there was a tiny green color on the Ice Type jade. Teacher Wei shone the light on the Ice Type jade, and his face changed!
Qu Yunxuan did not know what Teacher Wei was talking about and quickly asked. "What Jade is this?"
Dong Xuebing could not see clearly from his angle, and he looked at Teacher Wei.
Teacher Wei took a deep breath and said something shocking. "It is Glass type jade! The green color is very thick! "
"Hahaha …" Dong Xuebing banged the armrest of his wheelchair. "I knew it!"
Qu Yunxuan was also excited. "Is it really Glass type jade?"
Glass type, that's the best of the best among all the jades!
Teacher Wei touched the Ice Type jade curiously. "This shouldn't be the case. The Ice type jade is broken, and the chances of the rest of the Ice type jade is almost zero. Even if there is jade, it should be Ice type or below. How come there is Glass type jade? The chances are too low. Hmmm … but it's too early to be happy. This Ice type jade might also be broken. Let me cut it out and see. "
Qu Yunxuan said firmly. "We are already at this stage! Cut it out! "
Dong Xuebing rubbed his hands and looked at the Ice Type jade again.
A few minutes later, the Ice Type jade was finally cut out. Looking at this piece of green jade, everyone could not believe their eyes. The most shocked person was Teacher Wei. He had been mumbling to himself. "How is this possible?" He held the piece of green jade in his hands and was in a daze. Qu Yunxuan and Xiao Tao were also mesmerized by this piece of green jade. They were surprised and happy at the same time!
It is a Glass type jade!
It is very heavy! This Ice Type jade can cut out two pairs of bracelets!
Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebing's cheeks excitedly. "You are really good! It is really Glass type jade! "
Dong Xuebing replied proudly. "Of course."
Xiao Tao asked in a daze. "How much is this Ice Type jade worth?"
Teacher Wei was the most authoritative person in the room. He heard Qu Yunxuan's question and replied. "I dare not estimate the market value of Glass type jade now. After all, it is rare to see Glass type jade in auctions, and not many people will sell it. But from the color and texture of this Ice Type jade, one of the bracelets should be selling for more than 10 million RMB. The other pair of bracelets is more green, and the bracelets should be worth about 20 million RMB."
Xiao Tao was shocked by this figure. "Ah? That means the total value is 30 million RMB? "
Teacher Wei nodded. "If it is Imperial Green, it will be more valuable. But it is a pity that the Ice Type jade is not as good. But it is still considered a rare material."
10 million RMB had become 30 million RMB in the blink of an eye. This was a huge profit!
Everyone in the room was overjoyed, and Qu Yunxuan asked Xiao Tao to keep the Ice Type jade in the safe. She is afraid it will be stolen, and she will go to the processing factory tomorrow to produce two pairs of bracelets. This will be the finale of next month's Jade Auction. Qu Yunxuan asked Xiao Tao to call all the higher-ups of Yun De Auction Company to have dinner at Shangri-La Hotel to celebrate.
Teacher Wei no longer dares to look down on Dong Xuebing. He even took the time to ask. "Mr. Dong, how did you know this stone is Glass type?" Facts speak louder than words. Dong Xuebing had not observed the stone carefully, and he dared to say that it will be Glass type jade. In the end, it really appeared, and Teacher Wei felt Dong Xuebing might have some tricks and tricks. That's why he wants to learn from Dong Xuebing.
But Dong Xuebing does not know anything about stone gambling. He mumbled something and managed to get over it.
After dinner, Qu Yunxuan asked Dong Xuebing. "Are you going to release the news?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Of course. This is to create hype and anger Feng Yi."
Qu Yunxuan laughed and poked Dong Xuebing's nose. "You are so capable!" Dong Xuebing laughed. Then, he called Xiao Tao over and asked her to announce the news at the most conspicuous place on the homepage of the website. There was no need to post pictures or say too much. She just wrote that there would be two pairs of jade bracelets of the glass type being auctioned. Just one sentence was enough to cause a small stir.
30 million RMB worth of jade bracelets! It's impossible for Yun De Auction Company to not become famous!
Dong Xuebing felt his hard work over the past few days had not been in vain!
… …
Beijing Standing Committee Mansion.
Feng Yi had just finished dinner at his uncle's house in a villa in the west of Beijing.
Feng Yi's company's development is booming, and Yun De Auction Company is in danger. Feng Yi is in a good mood. At this time, he was in the bathroom washing his hands with a few drops of hand sanitizer when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Feng Yi leisurely wiped his hands, took out his phone and answered, "What's up?"
"Manager Feng … Something happened!"
"Slow down. What happened?"
"A few minutes ago, Yun De Auction Company had put up a banner on their website stating that two pairs of Glass type jade bracelets will be auctioned during the Jade Auction. This … if this is true, it will affect our auction that day. Even if we had collected a lot of Ice type jade bracelets and a meter tall Ice type jade bracelet, they cannot be compared to Glass type jade!"
Feng Yi's face changed. "What happened? Bracelets? Where did they get them from? "
"I don't know the details, but I heard it is from that piece of jade that was auctioned this morning."
"What?!" Feng Yi was stunned. "That piece of jade has Glass type jade?!"
"Should be. This is the only explanation."
After hanging up, Feng Yi's face turned green. That piece of jade is something he must get. But that Dong Xuebing had bid too much and gave up on it. But there is Glass type jade in that piece of jade?! It's heavy enough to make two pairs of bracelets?! How can Feng Yi not regret it?! If only he had bid a higher price at that time! Then the bright material would belong to him! Feng Yi's face turned black!
Dong Xuebing?
Qu Yunxuan?
Feng Yi had wanted to use his company's influence to suppress Yun De Auction House and force them to change the date of the auction. But who knows, Yun De Auction House used him as a scapegoat. Feng Yi's eyelids drooped as he did not want to let this matter rest. He had been doing business for so long, and he had never suffered such a huge loss!
After leaving the bathroom, Feng Yi was thinking of how to deal with them.
Ask the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau to investigate?
Ask the Tax Bureau to investigate?
Feng Yi has Feng Xueliang's backing, and he has many ways to deal with Feng Yi.
Beijing City Party Committee Member and Public Security Bureau Chief Feng Xueliang is having tea in the living room. He saw Feng Yi's face and laughed. "What's wrong? Weren't you smiling just now? "
Feng Yi greeted his uncle and said, "Something happened at the company."
"Oh? Did you encounter any problems with your business? "
"That's not it. Sigh … there was an auction for a piece of jade in the morning, and I was about to get it. But someone called Dong Xuebing came out of nowhere and bought it. In the end, he even got a piece of jade." Dong Xuebing said.
Feng Xueliang felt this name is familiar. "Dong Xuebing? What does he look like? "
Feng Yi was stunned. "I don't think he looks like an ordinary person. I did not notice his height, and he had been sitting in a wheelchair. I think he had broken his leg." After that, Feng Yi told his uncle about what happened today.
Feng Xueliang frowned. "Xiao Yi, don't touch this person."
Feng Yi was shocked. "Why? Do you know him? "
Feng Xueliang waved his hand. "I told you not to touch him."
Feng Yi kept quiet.
After a while, Feng Xueliang could tell his nephew was unhappy and reminded him. "Anyway, we do not have any deep grudges against each other, and it's best not to offend him. You might not know about this. This Dong Xuebing is close to Xie Huilan. Xie Huilan is one of the most influential people in the Xie Family's third generation. If she is not a woman, she would be the leader of the Xie Family's third generation." Although Feng Xueliang is not on the same side as Xie Guobang, he still praised Xie Huilan.
Feng Yi was stunned. "Xie Huilan?"
This name had left a deep impression on him. "They are close? What's their relationship? "
Feng Xueliang looked at Feng Yi and laughed. "Xie Huilan had dinner with him, helped him get transferred, and brought him home. Now, Xie Huilan is transferred to the grassroots level and had chosen Yan Tai County, where Xiao Dong is working. What do you think is their relationship?"
Feng Yi's jaw dropped. "Impossible. You think they … "
"I did not say anything." Feng Xueliang also does not know.
Feng Yi was shocked and felt this is too unbelievable. Who is Xie Huilan? Feng Yi knew better than anyone else that Xie Huilan's background, looks, and capabilities are top-notch. She is close to Dong Xuebing? This is not possible. Even if you're joking, you shouldn't joke like that!
After leaving the Party Committee's quarters, Feng Yi drove home.
Ring … ring … ring … Feng Yi's phone rang.
"Manager Feng, about the Jade Exhibition, should I contact the Shanghai side and see if they have … …" Li Shiqiang said.
Feng Yi sighed. "Inform all the departments that the Jade Auction will be brought forward by two weeks."
The person on the other end was stunned. "Ah?" This is like slapping his own face.
"Get it done now!" Feng Yi hangs up.
Feng Yi does not believe Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebing's relationship is real. But Feng Yi does not want to offend someone like Xie Huilan. Even if Feng Yi had not seen Xie Huilan in person, he had heard about her personality. He does not have the power to go against her!
