Chapter 40: Going Green
The two bodyguards kept their word, and an hour and a half later, they appeared at Xu Youyou's home. One person carried one side and quickly lifted the stone sculpture onto the cart.
Xu Fang is already waiting downstairs.
After Xu Youyou got in the car, the car arrived at the destination smoothly. Even though the other three people in the car knew that Xu Youyou liked the quiet rules, she still felt that it was too crowded for four people in a car.
"Can you drive?" Xu Youyou asked bodyguard Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun immediately said: "Boss, I have been driving for ten years."
When Xu Fang heard this, she immediately became nervous. She was very afraid of losing her job, but now that she was driving, she did not dare to look back at her boss's face.
Xu Youyou did not let Xu Fang worry for too long, but said directly to Zhang Jun: "Since you can drive, go back and pick a car, and you two will follow behind in the car."
Zhang Jun's eyes lit up. Although he knew that the boss was complaining that there were too many people in the car, the sense of freedom of being able to drive by himself was incomparable to riding in a car.
Although Xu Fang kept her job, her sense of crisis did not go away. She needed this job more than anyone else. Only if she was more useful to her boss would she have a greater chance of keeping her job.
After the car arrived at its destination, the bodyguard got out of the car first and took over Xu Fang's original work. Xu Fang had an idea and pulled out a parasol from the side.
In front of the Jade Museum, there were a lot of raw stones and a stone dissecting machine. A group of people were gathered around to look at the dissecting stones. Suddenly someone shouted: "Here comes a fat sheep!"
Everyone immediately turned around and looked over.
The first thing I saw was the car, and I silently put a price on it.
Then I saw two bodyguards in black suits, and they raised the fat sheep's level up again.
Finally, a female driver appeared holding a parasol, and Xu Youyou's worth instantly rose to hundreds of millions in their eyes.
Xu Youyou was carried to the front of the Jade Hall by the three people around her.
"Beauty, do you want to play stone betting? You can double your worth with just one strike!" the boss said with a smile.
Xu Youyou glanced at him and said: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to double my worth with one knife."
The boss's eyes narrowed. He did not expect that Xu Youyou would actually say such a thing. What is the difference between this and admitting that he is extremely rich?
Xu Youyou didn't care about the other party's appraisal and asked directly: "Boss, how much do you charge for Jie Shi?"
The boss said: "If you buy a stone from me, there is no charge for dismantling it. If it is a stone brought from outside, it depends on the size of the stone."
Xu Youyou looked back at the two bodyguards, and they immediately lifted the stone sculpture off the car.
The boss took a look and said: "The stone used for stone carvings is difficult to turn green due to its material. Are you sure you want to unravel this good stone carving?"
Xu Youyou nodded: "The boss will make an assessment and decide how much you should charge."
The boss shook his head: "When we meet for the first time, just treat it as a friend and help you solve it for free."
The boss makes most of his money by gambling on stones, not solving stones. Xu Youyou is worth a lot of money, and he also wants to sell well.
But Xu Youyou said: "I don't feel at ease if I don't accept money. I don't feel confident making friends like this."
The boss laughed and said helplessly: "The beauty is too polite, so I'll take two hundred yuan."
After Xu Youyou paid two hundred yuan, she asked the bodyguards to carry the stone sculpture to the machine.
Just as the staff of the Jade Hall was about to take action, the boss waved his hand: "I will do it myself."
Xu Youyou didn't care who did it.
"Beauty, draw a line first." The boss handed a pen to Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou didn't quite understand this kind of thing, so she said directly: "You can figure it out."
The boss first wanted to understand that Xu Youyou should be a layman, but he did not dare to look down on Xu Youyou.
There seems to be a fixed ritual for removing stones.
The boss shouted, "One sound of the machine is worth ten thousand taels of gold" before he started the stone dissolving machine. He used a relatively fine stone-breaking method, slowly polishing along the perimeter of the stone.
When I went around, I couldn't see any other colors at all, it was all lint.
"Boss, this stone doesn't look like it's valuable, so don't use this hard work and just cut it through with a knife." A spectator shouted.
The owner of the Jade Hall hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Xu Youyou who was standing aside.
Xu Youyou shook her head: "Just grind it like this."
The boss had no choice but to continue polishing the stone carvings.
Such fine work took too long, and many onlookers were already bored to see other mechanical stones. Not many people paid attention to Xu Youyou's stone.
Twenty minutes later, a curious person came over to take another look. When he saw that it was still a waste of time, he shook his head: "Boss, this beauty is an amateur, why do you become an amateur too? Are you really willing to accompany me?" Is she messing around?”
The boss was also riding a tiger at this time. He originally thought that Xu Youyou was a person and he would personally serve her if he wanted to make friends with her.
At this time, he was already regretting it in his heart, and he was a little slack in his work, and he did not take a closer look at what the stone carving looked like.
"Stop!" Xu Youyou suddenly shouted.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The boss looked at her doubtfully.
Xu Youyou said: "It's green."
The boss replied casually: "Beauty, your stone is made of stone carving material, it is difficult to get green..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked down and was stunned.
Under the stone dissolving machine, a little full green color is revealed.
The boss wiped away the stone debris in disbelief, and then all he could see was a hint of green in his eyes.
It is a very bright and full green, the color is extremely uniform, without any color difference or spots, and you can't help but fall in love with it just by looking at it.
The boss has been in the jade industry for many years, so he can naturally recognize what it is: "Emperor Green!"
His voice was trembling, but it accurately reached the ears of everyone present.
In three seconds, everyone gathered around.
“It’s really imperial green!”
"I really didn't expect that I would be able to see the solution of imperial green with my own eyes in my lifetime!"
"There is such a big piece of stone, it is estimated that it can weigh several kilograms!"
"We are developed! Where did you buy this stone? From which pile of rough stones did it come? I want to buy it too!"
People around were talking a lot. Their eyes turned red when they looked at the stone, and they wanted to rush forward and grab the stone into their arms.
As the owner of this stone, Xu Youyou was extremely calm: "Boss, continue to solve it."
The boss did not act immediately, but said: "Beauty, if you want to sell it? I am willing to pay 50 million to buy it."
Gambling on stones is actually a gamble made in two parts. The first time is to bet on whether your stone can turn green. The second time was a bet on how much green the half-solved stone could produce.
A more conservative person may choose to sell the stone after seeing the green color, so that the number of jade stones that will be mined later has nothing to do with him.
Xu Youyou spent about 300,000 yuan to send this stone sculpture back to China.
If you exchange 300,000 yuan for 50 million yuan, some people may choose to give up.
But Xu Youyou didn't, but said confidently: "Continue to solve it."
