The So-called Expert
"Director Xiao, you're going all out?"
A playful laugh sounded out. Xiao Yumei frowned and glared at him coldly.
The reason why the jewelry store became like this was mostly because of this man in front of her.
Hey, I say, why do women want to be so strong? Why don't you follow me and our two families merge into one? Wouldn't that be better? "
"Dream on!"
"Heh, then I want to see how long you can last," the man with a sinister expression snickered, then snapped his fingers. "Thirty-five million!"
It seems like he's purposefully going against me.
Xiao Yumei clenched her teeth as she looked at the rather attractive ore in front of her.
"Four …"
"Director Xiao!"
Ye Zichen hurried over before she could call out the price.
"Mr. Ye?"
Xiao Yumei revealed a hint of surprise in her eyes, then a smile quickly surfaced. Ye Zichen saved her daughter without asking for anything in return. She had wanted to use her connections to find him, but she didn't expect to meet him here.
"Does Director Xiao want to buy that ore?"
"Yeah, you also know that I'm in the jewelry business. The chances of this ore giving out jade are extremely high, and the amount is also huge. Tell me, my jewelry store is in danger right now, so I need this ore to turn things around. "
Xiao Yumei told him everything about her situation. This sort of thing shouldn't be told to outsiders, but for some reason …
When she faced Ye Zichen, she always felt that he had a sort of magic that she couldn't bear to hide anything.
Hearing that, Ye Zichen nodded and said softly.
"Director Xiao, if you buy this ore, then I feel like you really might not be able to turn things around!"
Xiao Yumei's expression tensed up. What did Ye Zichen mean?
Could he be trying to tell me that this ore won't give out jade?
"Mr. Ye knows about stone gambling as well?" Xiao Yumei asked in a testing manner. Ye Zichen laughed softly, "Director Xiao, don't always call me Mr. Ye, it's weird to me. You can call me Ye-zi or Zichen. As for stone gambling, I do know a bit about it. "
"If you know a bit, then don't speak nonsense here. This ore has clear lines, it's transparent and has a green color. There are moss on it, that's the sign of giving out jade. What are you planning by running over here and saying that this ore might not give out jade? "
Xiao Yumei's consultant, Elder Liu, suddenly started to make things difficult. Ye Zichen frowned, then glanced at the old man.
"Who is this old man?"
"Zichen, this is our company's quarrying consultant, she is an expert in looking at stones."
"Expert!"
Nowadays, no matter what industry it was, there would always be a bunch of experts and experts popping up. They did not have any real skills and only knew how to talk.
Ye Zichen twitched his mouth in disdain, then said to Elder Liu.
"Master Liu said that this raw stone will definitely contain jade, right?"
"Of course!" Elder Liu said confidently.
"Then what if it doesn't?" Ye Zichen suddenly asked. Elder Liu frowned, "There's no way this rock wouldn't give out jade."
"Don't worry about whether it will come out or not. I'm asking you, what if it doesn't come out?"
Ye Zichen stared closely at Elder Liu. Elder Liu looked at the ore with a smile.
"Buying raw stones has always been proportional to the risk and profit. No one can guarantee that all the stones they buy will contain jade. If there is no jade, it can only be said that the appearance of the stone is deceiving everyone."
"In the end, you're just talking without taking any risks, right?" Ye Zichen snickered, then pointed at the huge ore. "This is an ore worth several tens of millions. You said that it will contain jade, and you made Director Xiao force himself to snatch it. If it contains jade, then you'll get a huge cut. If it doesn't, then you won't take any risks. Why do you get all the good stuff? "
Seeing that Ye Zichen and Elder Liu were about to start arguing, Xiao Yumei quickly comforted.
"Zichen, the rules of buying ores are like this. I do need this ore …"
"Rules, bullsh * t rules," Ye Zichen snorted. "Director Xiao, if you believe me, then don't touch this rock."
"Xiao Yumei, do you still want this rock?"
When Director Bai saw Ye Zichen, who was beside Xiao Yumei, his dark gaze turned even more sinister.
"Heh, there's no need for Director Bai to worry. Several tens of millions isn't a small amount. Can't I consider it?"
Xiao Yumei scolded coldly, then looked towards Ye Zichen with a questioning gaze.
"Zichen, why aren't you letting me touch this rock?"
"This rock won't give out jade," Ye Zichen replied softly.
Xiao Yumei bit her lips, then looked at the extremely good looking ore a few times, before finally choosing to believe Ye Zichen.
When the rock landed in Director Bai's hands, he smiled coldly at Xiao Yumei, who was not far away.
"Director Xiao, this rock is the rock for you to turn over a new leaf. You actually gave it up just like that? What, you don't have enough money? "
"I do indeed have no money. I hope that Director Bai will win."
Xiao Yumei's expression was as cold as ice. A hint of greed flashed across Director Bai's eyes when he looked towards her.
"It will definitely win. It's just that Director Xiao, what a pity, it's such a good rock."
As Director Bai spoke, he transferred the money over. The stonecutter on the side also asked.
"Director Bai, do you want to cut it here, or do you want to go back and cut it yourself?"
"I'll cut it here."
The appearance of this rock was extremely good, it was very likely that it would give out jade, and it would be a huge amount of jade. Xiao Yumei gave up halfway. If it really did give out jade, then it would be a great blow to her.
"Heh, Director Xiao is going to regret it."
Elder Liu also laughed coldly on the side.
Xiao Yumei did not mind Elder Liu's cold water, and stared straight at the ore. Although she believed Ye Zichen's words, she was still a bit nervous in her heart.
If it really did give out jade, then she would definitely regret giving up halfway.
The fact that an extremely expensive ore was going to be cut on the spot immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the auction hall.
The stonecutter looked respectfully at Director Bai, "Director Bai, how do you think we should cut it?"
Director Bai picked up a piece of chalk and drew three lines on the rock, "Director Bai, how do you think we should cut it?"
"Just cut it according to this line."
The ore was already very large, and since it was inconvenient to move the rock, they could only move the machine. Under the simultaneous actions of the three stonecutter masters, the cutting machine was finally placed on the line that Director Bai had drawn.
Screech.
A white mist, accompanied by the sound of the cutting machine, appeared in everyone's line of sight amidst the deafening sound.
At that moment, everyone's heart was in their throats.
The scene suddenly turned silent, and only the sound of the cutting machine echoed throughout the auction hall.
Crack.
As the saw cut deeper, the ore was split into two.
The greyish-white cut was extremely eye-catching at that moment, causing Director Bai's face to instantly turn green.
This isn't right, I should see jade if I cut it according to his line.
"It's over, it's over!"
Someone in the crowd shouted out in schadenfreude, while Elder Liu also frowned.
The happiest person was Xiao Yumei. She could tell from the cut that even if the ore gave out jade, it definitely wouldn't be worth the price.
Director Bai looked at the rock with a green expression. Losing money was a small matter, losing face was a huge matter.
What's more, the ore was extremely large, although a piece was cut, he couldn't jump to conclusions.
