The piece Liu Xialian chose was relatively small, weighing about 100 kilograms and costing 1,200 yuan, and she went through the delivery procedures. Mr. Li, who sold the rough stone, came to receive her in person. He spoke a very awkward northern dialect that was barely understandable. Zhao Shan introduced him last time. He was from the Li family of Siam, who immigrated there in the late Ming Dynasty. I think he should have been a defeated army of the Dashun Army.

"How do you open this?" the master asked Liu Xia Lian.

Liu Xia Lian gestured with her hands: "Cut like this, then cut like this, just scrape the skin on both sides."

"Okay, I'll open it right away."

The stone was small, and the electric saw started. After just a dozen seconds, purple debris came out. The onlookers exclaimed: "Violet, it's stable."

The onlookers were shouting and yelling, even more excited than Liu Xia Lian, the buyer.

Liu Xia Lian had a smile on her face, without any surprise or cheering. Daya behind her had an even more gloomy face. Zhao Shan exclaimed that her third sister was amazing. She was mature beyond her years, a beauty in her twenties, an age where people would scream and groan over a piece of clothing, yet she was not surprised that she had blossomed into a violet.

"Third sister, this is an increase."

"Ah, I know. I've never lost money buying this stuff."

Sure enough, after two cuts, it came out, containing violets of extremely high quality. This is the best material for making bracelets. After processing, a pair of bracelets can be sold for tens of thousands. It's just that the pieces are a little small, but they are still worth hundreds of thousands.

Liu Xia Lian didn't react, but the crowd was going crazy. A thousand yuan turned out to be worth a hundred times more. This was the charm of gambling on stones. It was a quick way to get rich.

Zhao Shan said hurriedly: "Third sister, sell it to me, I won't let you lose money, the market price of this piece is only about 120,000, I will give you 150,000."

"Okay, no problem. I don't know how to carve and it would be a waste to keep it." Liu Xia Lian sold the violet material to Zhao Shan.

Several managers from jewelry companies came over immediately and expressed their willingness to purchase the violet.

Liu Xia Lian didn't hesitate and said directly: "Sell it to Mr. Zhao, it's already been agreed."

Zhao Shan smiled and said, "Managers, you are late. I bought it."

Manager Long came over again with his bodyguards, took a look at the material, and shouted, "Shanshan, I'll pay 180,000. Sell it to me."

Liu Xia Lian also noticed that the young master of the Long family was somewhat interested in her second sister, but her second sister seemed to have a boyfriend. These were not things she should consider. Since ancient times, people have been advised not to gamble but to visit prostitutes. No matter how good the relationship is, one should not interfere in other people's private lives.

Zhao Shan raised her eyebrows and felt a little unhappy, but Liu Xia Lian also saw that this second sister of Young Master Long might really not be someone she could afford to offend. After all, a family business with a family to support cannot be run barefoot.

"Second sister, forget it, just sell him and I'll find you another one."

"Ok."

Zhao Shan smiled and said, "Manager Long has good taste. This is top-quality violets. You will definitely make a lot of money if you buy it back."

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, as long as you are happy." Manager Long waved his hand and had the things carried away.

"Shanshan, are you free at noon? Let's have lunch together."

Zhao Shan shook her head: "I'm sorry, Manager Long, I have something else to do at noon."

Manager Long was disappointed, paid for the goods, and left with his bodyguards.

Several other jewelry stores started to complain to Young Master Long: "What do you mean by rich people are stupid? We spent 180,000 yuan to buy this piece of violet material. It was all in vain. If it doesn't sell well, we may even lose money."

Some people also said: "This is what you don't understand. Long's Jewelry is a high-end brand. A violet bracelet may only sell for 30,000 or 50,000 yuan. With more than 100 kilograms of material, you can at least make more than 100 pairs. They will not lose money at all, and will make a lot of money."

The circle is so small, and the industries that the Long family is involved in are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. During this period, the average wage per capita was between 80 and 100, and their assets were calculated in billions. How could they care whether a piece of stone is worth 150,000 or 180,000?

Seeing that Young Master Long had gone far away, Zhao Shan regained her composure. She took Liu Xia Lian's hand and they continued to look at the goods.

The Li family’s stall was already very busy, with several people selecting materials.

But when it comes to gambling on stones, nine out of ten times you lose, but there is one that makes a ton of money.

Manager Li encouraged Liu Xialian to pick out another piece. Liu Xialian nodded and said, "I have to pick a good piece and sell it to my second sister."

Although the first piece of top-quality imperial green also netted more than 400,000 yuan, it was far less than what I could earn by selling it at home. The second piece of top-quality violet, although a little smaller, was also a top-quality product, a good choice for carving bracelets and pendants. I originally wanted to get some good material to sell during the Chinese New Year, but it was a pity that Young Master Long snatched it away again.

"Second sister, do you have much money?"

"What's wrong? Do you need money?"

"No, I found a piece of excellent material and I plan to open it and sell it to you."

Zhao Shan pinched Liu Xia Lian's lower back and said, "Are you worried that my second sister doesn't have money? Don't worry, I can afford it even if you sell me a ten-dollar imperial green."

"Hey, it's good that you have money. I'm just planning to buy a batch of large animals."

Liu Xia Lian pretended to stare at a huge stone weighing 1,500 to 1,600 kilograms. The surface was rotten and covered with bone stones. It looked terrible. The price was not cheap at all, 8,800 yuan. The price here was fixed and no bargaining was allowed.

"Boss Li, I want this one. It's 8,800."

Zhao Shan quickly tried to stop him: "Third sister, there is really no such thing. Two weeks ago, I bought a piece at this location. I spent 6,600 yuan. I cut it open and found everything. An old man gave me 5 yuan to take it home to make a pig feed trough. I was so angry that I almost vomited blood."

Liu Xia Lian almost burst out laughing. She spent 6,600 yuan to buy a stone and sold it for five yuan. Her second sister was really brave enough to buy it. She had no ability but still insisted on playing.

"Look, I'm going to avenge my second sister. Cut off this eight thousand eight hundred."

Daya had a lot of money in her bag. After paying the money and completing the formalities, she put the stones on the cart and handed them to Liu Xia Lian.

There were several buyers queuing up there for the cutting, and the place was filled with wailing.

I cut a piece and it broke, and only one piece showed green, but the quality was too ordinary, so at most I would not lose money.

Mr. Li came over to coordinate and arranged a large electric saw for Liu Xialian in advance. The stone was too big, so a table saw was used.

The chainsaw master was a very particular person and he bowed three times before cutting the stone.

Liu Xialian said: "I have prepared the red envelopes. When I open the big imperial green red envelope, yours will definitely be included."

"Okay, I'll open the shell right away." The chainsaw master started the chainsaw and had to spray water on the big stone to cool the saw blade.

As the powder splashed, some green powder gradually came out, and the crowd began to exclaim: "It's green, it's green."

With such a big piece, if it can produce green, it will definitely be a win-win situation. If the quality is good, you will make a fortune.

It took about ten minutes to rub the skin and cut it. Someone exclaimed: "Glass seed, my God."
