Volume 1 Rebirth - The Eve of High School Chapter 37 Ma Weiguang

  Ai Zi Qing first walked to the extreme high-quality large blocks of wool in front of Sun Baozi's mouth, these blocks of wool were probably tens of kilograms in size, and the largest one even weighed two hundred kilograms. After being wiped open, a fine, emerald green color like a green apple was exposed, which was very tempting. Several people had already taken out magnifying glasses and flashlights to observe carefully. One middle-aged man said, "I'd rather buy a thread than a piece, I think this stone has some meaning."

  "The jade color inside seems to be getting lighter. It's a bit off." Another man muttered to himself.

  Several people walked around the wool, looking at it for half a day. Aizi Qing quietly walked closer, concentrated her mind and took a close look at the wool. Unexpectedly, it was just a green skin, and that thin strip of jade road was less than two fingers long. The back was all white and flowery, and from the position of the other end of the green skin, another thin strip of jade green appeared! This shows that no matter where you start rubbing, there will be jade green! What a deceiving stone material! Aizi Qing cursed in her heart, turned around and went to find other stone materials.

  "Boss Sun, I'll take this stone!" The middle-aged man who was the first to speak among those observing the two hundred kilograms of stone spoke up as Ai Zi Qing turned around.

  "Hehe, Director Ma, you've also seen it, this is a piece of fine old jade material, the texture is so delicate, and the chance of it turning green is extremely high..." Sun Baozi put down his cigarette holder and rubbed his hands together.

  The middle-aged man known as Horse Boss nodded, "Sun Boss has made a good offer."

  "This number is already very small!" Sun Baozi stretched out five plump fingers.

  "Five hundred million?" Ma Zong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, although he had expected it wouldn't be low and was mentally prepared, but the price still made him feel a bit apprehensive.

  "Hey, Director Ma, you're also an expert, you should know that this large piece of jade material is not expensive at all. The surface quality is good too. If it were a blind bid, a piece of this size would be worth at least 20-30 million. And look, a piece of jade has already been polished out!" Sun Baozi picked up his pipe and took two puffs.

  Several people next to him were not without interest in this piece of stone, but either they didn't have the courage to spend such a large sum of money or they simply couldn't afford it, and could only watch with envy.

  At this time, Wang Ming-tang, who had just observed the large stone material next to him, walked over and smiled: "How is it, General Ma? If you don't want it, I'll take this piece of stone material!"

  "Director Wang?" Ma Weiguang slightly furrowed his brow, he and Wang Mingtang were both veterans of the Yang City jewelry industry, whether it was him or his Wanfulou, they were often compared to Wang Mingtang's Longfengxiang, market competition was extremely fierce, although on the surface they smiled at each other, in reality they had already reached a point where they couldn't coexist!

  "Boss Sun, get me a pen and paper, I'll write you an IOU. You can come to Longfengxiang tomorrow to collect." Wang Mingtang chuckled as he looked at Ma Weiguang's somewhat pale face. This was the rule of the Sun family, because most of the stone materials were delivered in the evening, and new goods were also mostly invited to be viewed during this time. However, banks had long been closed by this hour, so these big bosses wouldn't possibly carry cash boxes around, which is why they had this rule.

  Of course, this is only for those big bosses who can call out their names. For a small person like Ai Zi Qing, either bring cash or choose the stone material and store it here, and pay and pick up the goods tomorrow. After all, for Lao Sun, she is not as secure as those big figures in Yang City.

  Ai Zi Qing furrowed her brow slightly, not wanting to get involved, but Wang Ming Tang was a good person and had always taken care of her. If she knew that the several million was a pitfall and still watched him go buy it, she would feel somewhat guilty.

  So she didn't wait for Ma Weiguang to speak, walked over to Wang Mingtang's side, covered Wang Mingtang's right hand that was about to pick up the pen with her left hand, and smiled "Uncle Wang, since Boss Ma has already taken a look, isn't it not good for you to do this? Why don't you let Boss Ma have it, he will still remember your kindness?"

  This action and these words scared several people around Wang Mingtang, this little girl, so ignorant? Coming out to say such things at this time?

  But Wang Ming Tang slightly furrowed his brow and said a sentence that made everyone's jaw drop: "Zi Qing... are you, certain?"

  Ai Zi Qing slightly stunned, looked at Wang Ming Tang's eyes, and nodded lightly. It seems that the two times she gambled with Ma Yu Xi and continued to gamble on the rise, did not escape Wang Ming Tang's eyes. Although he didn't suspect anything as absurd as supernatural powers, he certainly felt that he was extraordinary in his ability to gamble, so he carefully considered his words.

  The two men's inexplicable behavior left everyone bewildered, but Wang Ming Tang thought for a moment and then laughed at Ma Wei Guang, saying "My little niece is right, it's all because I was rash earlier and almost ruined Mr. Ma's good fortune, so let's just give this stone to Mr. Ma instead!"

  Wang Ming Tang indeed had some suspicions about Ai Zi Qing, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. Maybe it was just intuition? He always trusted his instincts. Moreover, he didn't think Ai Zi Qing would be careless in this matter, unless she had a good reason to distrust the stone material and intervene to stop him. This also showed that this girl wasn't as simple as she seemed.

  Although he didn't quite understand, Ma Weiguang had no choice but to grit his teeth and sign the IOU. He then asked for a stone on the spot, after all, 50 million was not a small amount of money for him! A large jewelry company is worth only a few billion, especially when it comes to gambling on stones, which is often a losing proposition. The liquid assets of a company can't be that much, right? It's safe to say that if he loses this tens of millions, the company will immediately fall into a tight spot! Such a large sum of money, even Wang Mingtang would be the same! So, when it comes to gambling on stones, it's not just about having a good eye, but also about having guts!

  There's an old saying: "The bold will die from overeating, while the timid will starve to death..."

  Daring Ma and his assistant fixed the stone in front of the lazy stone machine, as a piece of jade had already been rubbed out, so they didn't dare to cut it directly with a knife. They picked up the grinding stone and carefully ground away the surface skin, the more they ground, the whiter their faces became...

  Everyone surrounded the stone, staring at it with some tension, and the atmosphere in the store became noticeably heavy.

  Ai Zi Qing didn't have the mood to wait there for Shi Liao's gamble to collapse, she wasn't a savior, and she didn't know Ma Wei Guang either. How could she keep ruining Sun Bao Zhu's business again and again? Besides, this gambling on stones was all about taking risks, since it was a gamble, naturally there would be ups and downs. She couldn't just use her special abilities to rescue everyone everywhere, could she?

  So she simply walked aside and took advantage of everyone's attention on the auction to find some good materials for herself, in case something bad happened due to malicious bidding.

  Those few pieces of large wool fabric were checked by Zi Qing, and it was confirmed that they were basically all inferior materials. Only two or three pieces had a green color, but they were ordinary goods. Zi Qing naturally looked down on them, turned around and came to the stone materials sold by kilogram. With so many stone materials, it was impossible to look at them all. She usually started checking from the large blocks of stone.

  She squatted down in front of a piece of ordinary dry yellow sandstone, which was over ten kilograms in size. The skin was dry and yellow. Based on experience, this kind of skin stone would not have enough water even if it were jadeite. However, Aizi Qing had always been willing to kill the wrong ones rather than let them go when it came to large pieces of stone, only small pieces of stone would be carefully selected and examined.

  Just as she had a glimpse of about one centimeter, her eyes were reflected in a splash of colorful colors. Zi Qing's eyes widened instantly, and it was a colorful bright emerald with perfect transition of red, green and purple, fine texture, and sufficient water head!

  Zi Qing had heard of this three-colored jade, known as Fu Lu Shou. Fu represents red, Lu represents green, and Shou represents purple, symbolizing good fortune and auspiciousness. However, this color is generally favored by noblewomen, while young people rarely like this old-fashioned three-color jade.

  But the transition of the three colors in this piece of material is perfect! The crystal-clear jade quality and color matching, even Aizi Qing can't help but love it. If made into jewelry or objects, I think they should be very popular? Aizi Qing looked through the entire piece of material with a good mood, because this piece of jade actually extends to more than two-thirds of the entire stone, its value is simply inestimable!

  Ai Zi Qing nodded to Zhou, Yuan and the others to take a look at this piece of stone material, then walked towards the next one. Several tens of kilograms of "collapse stone" were placed together by her and Fu Lu Shou, preparing to buy them together. Finally, they found another piece of ice-colored blue jade, about six or seven kilograms in size, with a bright blue color like the sky, crystal clear and transparent like water droplets. Ai Zi Qing liked it at first sight, and she also knew that this kind of pure blue color was relatively rare. The blue colors commonly seen on the market were mostly light blue floating flowers, and few had such crystal-clear full color. She decided to buy it on the spot.

  Ai Zi Qing and Zhou Yuan came together, naturally bringing cash. After settling the bill with Old Sun, they saw that Ma's stone was still not good, and Zhou Yuan and others were also curious, so they accompanied them to surround and watch together.

  The stone material started to reveal its jade quality, and as it was being polished, a piece of jade meat appeared. As the jade meat emerged, Ai Zi Qing clearly heard the sound of people gasping around her. Ma Wei Guang's serious face relaxed, and he gazed at the jade meat with surprise and delight. Then, his eyes turned to Wang Ming Tang, and he smiled slightly smugly, saying "Indeed, it's a good thing! It really is thanks to Mr. Wang's auspicious words!"

  "Hehe, where, where..." Wang Mingtang still smiled without a sound, although he felt extremely uncomfortable with Ma Weiguang's words in his heart!

  Wang Mingtang's assistant looked at Ai Ziqing with some resentment, he really couldn't understand why Wang Dong would listen to this little girl and give away such a high-quality stone material!

  Wang Bin and Wang Ming were also staring at Wang Mingtang with great tension, seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, they both let out a slight sigh of relief, furrowed their brows and glanced at Ai Ziqing, but didn't say anything. After all, this was Wang Mingtang's own decision, and it wasn't anyone else's fault.

  Zhou Yuan looked at Ai Zi Qing with some concern, he also felt that Ai Zi Qing had rushed out a bit too hastily, and it wasn't like her character. If the stone gamble failed, Wang Ming Tang would certainly hold a personal grudge against her, but if it succeeded, then things would get complicated, after all, no one could be certain about such things. In his opinion, Ai Zi Qing was also under tremendous psychological pressure at this moment.

  But everyone who looked at Ai Zi Qing found that she seemed to be a carefree person, extremely leisurely leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, glancing left and right, without putting the matter in front of her at all. Zhou Yuan couldn't help but admire her again for her composure...

  "Good luck to Boss Ma! What a great aura! If this 200-kilogram stone can be penetrated in one line, its value will definitely increase several times!" The owner of a small jewelry store said with a flattering smile.

  "Haha, then let's take Liu's auspicious words to heart? Little Guo, cut a centimeter off the left side!" Ma Weiguang instructed his assistant.

  "Alright! Watch closely!" Little Guo secured the stone material and slowly cut it down with a large stone cutter.

  A piece of white stone... But Ma Weiguang was not in a hurry, after all, both sides had already exposed jade flesh, and it was likely to be a straight line, with white stones all around which was also normal!

  Next, piece by piece the white stone was cut away, Ma Weiguang's face grew increasingly solemn, until all the stone had been cut open and everyone saw that there was only a small amount of jade, less than two fingers long on either side, with the middle completely separated by white stones. At this point, Ma Weiguang's face had turned deathly pale...

  "Alas! The harm caused by relying on luck is not trivial! General Ma, this gambling business loses nine out of ten times, don't take it too much to heart." Wang Mingtang said with a regretful face.

  Ma Weiguang simply nodded woodenly and said to Old Sun, "Old Sun, you can come to my company tomorrow to get the money. I'll leave first." After finishing speaking, although his face turned pale, he walked out steadily with a firm pace.
