Billionaire shocks the world with his bad behavior
Chapter 193 Difficulty in Choosing
The better the quality of jade, the higher its value. Above the ice type and high ice type, there is the glass type jade, which is extremely transparent, pure and flawless, with a fine texture and no impurities.
Among the different colors of jade, the values are also different.
Glass-type red jadeite and royal purple are second only to glass-type imperial green.
Of course, in addition to this, for jadeite of the same glass type and color, the color intensity and distribution are also critical.
The concentration of full color is the highest.
And now, the sixth and ninth pieces of raw stones in the tenth round are glass-type red jadeite and royal purple.
"Among red jadeite, blood jadeite, also known as cockscomb red, is the best, with bright colors that are breathtaking. However, this No. 6 raw stone should be the second-best bright red, with bright colors and a glass type, which is also rare."
The jade gambler of the Yu family was also amazed when he saw the final rough stone of the tenth round.
"However, judging from the cut surface, the No. 9 raw stone is the best royal purple in the purple series. Although it is second only to the imperial green and blood jade, the glass-type purple jade is even rarer and is now loved by many young people. It is also very valuable."
The glass-type red jadeite and royal purple each have their own merits, but this is only from the cut surface. The specific details will only be revealed in the final stone cutting stage, so the test is for the buyers present.
Whether to bet on number six or number nine does require careful consideration and betting.
"Yukun, how much money did you bring this time?"
Yujing looked a little solemn, he did not expect that in this tenth round, two raw stones that could potentially become the king of jade would appear at once.
If you place the wrong bet, you lose.
"All the funds I have available right now add up to almost five billion."
Upon seeing this, Yu Kun, for once, refrained from making sarcastic remarks and directly revealed his cards.
Although compared with Shen Lisu's assets, Yu Kun only has 5 billion in liquid funds, which may not seem like much, in fact, even for the eight wealthy families in Huajing, it is not easy to come up with 5 billion at any time.
Not everyone is like Shen Lisu, who can easily make money with money. She is an invisible super-rich woman with billions of assets!
It's not completely thawed though.
Besides, Yu Kun also spent a lot of money in the blind auction. All added up, it was more than ten or twenty billion. With his wealth, it was considered a lot of money except for Huajing and Yunzhou.
At least he is more than qualified to start his own business and become the head of a wealthy family.
"I asked someone to do the math, and the available funds are around 10 billion. If the two of us work together, we have a good chance of defeating the Jin family."
But the problem lies in which rough stone should be chosen between number six and number nine?
"Whether to go all in or place bets separately, we still need to consider carefully."
Yu Jing's brows were furrowed, his face was gloomy, and his fingertips kept tapping on the armrest of the sofa, which was enough to show his inner unrest.
Yu Kun was equally conflicted and subconsciously looked at Shen Lisu, only to see that she was still calm and composed, as if she didn't care at all.
"Boss Su, have you figured out which rough stone is the king of jade?"
Being suddenly cueed, Shen Lisu raised her eyebrows slightly, chuckled and shook her head.
"Boss Kun thinks too highly of me. If I had this ability, why would I open a jade carving shop?"
If she had this ability, she would probably be suspected of having X-ray vision and would have been captured by criminals for research long ago, right?
She might even be captured by the Society for Psychical Research, which would save her the trouble of finding their lair.
"Yeah, I was confused."
The expected answer made Yu Kun sigh in disappointment. He leaned back on the sofa, feeling slumped and having a severe headache.
"What should we do now? If the King of Jade is bought by Jin Mingxin, the jade mine will belong to the Jin family. Not only will the Jin family escape from the current predicament, but they will also be on equal footing with the Yu family, and may even be stronger than them. At that time, that bastard Zheng Fang will be even more proud."
"Not really? A jade vein can make the Jin family prosperous and even make them stronger than the Yu family's inheritance for many years?"
Shen Lisu was also a little confused. The Yu family had many jade veins, so why were they focusing on this newly discovered jade vein?
"At this point, we won't hide it from Boss Su."
Yujing sighed deeply. Shen Lisu helped him and Yukun a lot on this trip, so there was no need for him to be too wary of her.
"According to the news from the Jade Association, this jade vein is likely to contain glass-type imperial green. In addition, the quality of the raw stones from the same vein will be much higher. Maybe the worst is ice-type jadeite. I suspect..."
"What do you suspect?"
Seeing him hesitating, Yu Kun started to get impatient again.
"I suspect that the No. 6 and No. 9 raw stones came from that jade vein."
"real or fake?!"
Yu Kun was startled and attracted many people's disgust. He then lowered his voice and looked at Yu Jing.
"Are you sure? If this is true, we must not let the Jin family get this jade vein!"
"It's just a guess, but I'm afraid it's pretty close."
Yu Jing also had a heavy expression on his face. The more he thought about it, the gloomier he felt. If what he said was true, then the Jin family would not have been resurrected, but would have ascended to heaven.
“So, now the key is to win the bid for the King of Jade.”
"Well...I have a question."
Shen Lisu raised her hand silently and looked at Yu Jing.
"Boss Su, please speak."
"You want to compete for the title of Jade King and buy jade mines. Do you have that much money?"
Assuming that the funds prepared by the Jin family and the Yu family are similar, even if the Yu family successfully bids for the King of Jade, if the Jin family bids higher and the Yu family cannot afford the same price, then wouldn’t the right of first refusal become a joke?
Yu Jing understood what Shen Lisu meant and explained it patiently.
"Boss Su, you may not know this, but we have certainly considered this. So after the evaluation of the Jade King, its value can be used as funds. As long as the value of the Jade King and our existing funds are higher than the bids of others, the transaction is still considered a success."
"But if that jade vein can produce the king of jade, why doesn't the government keep it for mining?"
The authorities have been suffering from the lack of opportunities to directly manage Yucheng. Isn’t this jade vein an opportunity to break the current situation?
"The government is not allowed to participate in the mining of jade veins. This is the result of many considerations. I am not very clear about the specific reasons."
There have been some unwritten rules in Yucheng for a long time. They only know to follow them but don't know why.
In fact, the reason why the government chose to outsource the mining rights of jade and jadeite mines was, firstly, that the investment in mining capital was too large, and secondly, to prevent someone from abusing their power for personal gain.
Of course, there are other reasons, but in short, the mining of this jade vein can only be left to the buyer.
"After all this discussion, we still haven't come to a conclusion! Which rough stone should we bid on now?"
Yu Kun was so anxious that he almost died. He didn't want to be suppressed by that idiot Zheng Fang!
"Are you so conflicted? Why not just leave it to fate and take whatever photo you get?"
