Chapter 14: This guy is really blind to good fortune!
The jade and jewelry trading market located on Taikang Road in Linzhou, the entire Taikang Road, which is several thousand meters long, has large and small jade and jewelry stores on both sides. Its reputation is not only well-known in Linzhou but also throughout Huaijiang and surrounding provinces and cities.
The next day, in the afternoon, Xu Yu walked on Taikang Road, still feeling excited, then quickly scanned left and right, looking for a jade store that was not very big, and at this time there were almost no customers.
This jade store, although not large, is decorated in a rather elegant and ancient style. Inside the house, there is a glass counter, on which are placed exquisite jade pendants and other ornaments.
When he saw the guest coming in, the middle-aged man who was originally sitting inside with a delicate teacup, immediately stood up smiling and said, "Hehe, young brother, what do you want? Take a look."
"En." Xǔ Yú also smiled and nodded, pretending to appreciate the view, and walked around the counter in a circle.
It was just a glance, seeing Xu Yu's perfunctory manner, the middle-aged boss's originally enthusiastic smile gradually became more subdued. It seemed that this guy was indeed just taking a look. He shook his head slightly and sat back down with his tea cup.
"Boss, I have a piece of jade here. Can you take a look and tell me how much it's worth?" Xǔ Yú didn't mind the other person's attitude, and only spoke up after walking around in a circle.
In short, it made the middle-aged man inside pause for a moment, and he looked at Xu Yu with a somewhat ridiculous expression, wondering if this guy was actually here to buy something or not.
However, afterwards, the middle-aged man shook his head and smiled wryly, "Alright, since you're free now anyway, just take it out and have a look."
Although he didn't refuse, his expression of being at a loss for words revealed his inner thoughts.
He didn't really think Xu Yu had anything good, but even if it was just to pass the time, helping him out would be fine, after all, the other party came to his doorstep as a guest.
Xu Yu heard this and his face was also filled with joy, he stretched out his neck to take off the pendant.
When handing over the pendant and passing it to the other party, Xu Yu could clearly see that this middle-aged man still had a helpless expression. However, when the jade pendant was completely presented in front of the other party's eyes, this middle-aged man's face suddenly changed.
"Huh?"
With a look of surprise, the middle-aged man almost snatched the jade pendant from Xu Yu's hand, and put it in his palm to examine it carefully. He then held it up in front of his eyes to scrutinize it further. During this process, the middle-aged man's face gradually lit up with excitement.
First shock, then surprise, followed by confusion, and finally great astonishment.
But it was just a fleeting moment, and all of these expressions suddenly turned into regret.
If he said that his expression had changed before, Xu Yu could still understand it, but when the other party's face was filled with deep regret, he was a bit confused. This guy's expression was too strange, wasn't it?
In fact, he didn't know that the middle-aged man opposite him was almost regretful to the point of turning green at this moment. Just now, he originally thought that with the appearance of the person in front of him, it was impossible to bring out any good jade, so he just casually took a look with the intention of passing the time, but unexpectedly, the piece of jade in front of him turned out to be perfect to such an extent.
Perfectly beautiful, he was a man who spent his days admiring jade, and at first glance, he was shocked to be a heavenly being.
But after the shock, he suddenly remembered that the jade was given to him for appraisal by the other party, and judging from the look of it, the guy in front of him didn't know the value or authenticity of the jade either. If, if he had been a bit more calm and composed just now, wouldn't he have had the chance to swindle this thing away?
Now, as long as you're not an idiot, after seeing his expression just now, everyone absolutely knows that this thing is definitely worth a lot of money, which almost made him collapse in frustration.
"Boss, this jade?" The other party's thoughts, Xu Yu naturally didn't understand, but still softly spoke up afterwards.
"Ah, this jade is great, not bad! Young brother, how much did you buy it for?" Along with Xu Yu's words, the middle-aged man suddenly came to his senses and then looked at Xu Yu with an excited face. "To be honest with you, I also can't determine the true value of this jade, but it's worth at least that much."
In his excitement, the middle-aged man even made a few quick gestures with his fingers.
"One hundred thousand?" As soon as he saw the other party's movements, Xu Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. It seemed that his previous thoughts were not bad after all. This jade pendant, which had cost him several hundred yuan to buy and had been transformed by spiritual energy, was now worth more than ten times its original value.
"En." The middle-aged man nodded again, but in his heart, he was overjoyed. One million? This **, he had actually written one hundred million!!
It can be said that the perfection of this jade, as well as the extremely comfortable and warm feeling it brings to people, is enough to be called the "heart of ten thousand jades". Among one hundred pieces of jade, there may not necessarily be a single piece that is the essence of the essence.
What's even more rare is its exquisite appearance, without a single trace of artificial carving.
If he had this piece of jade and found a suitable buyer, he could sell it for an even higher price. What's the big deal about spending just 100,000?
"Never mind the contempt, but this time, I'll suppress my excitement and say calmly, 'Alright, young man, if you're willing to sell, I'll give you 1.5 million. It's not a low price, and it can be a treasure in my store.'"
"Huh?" Xǔ Yú was taken aback, then immediately shook his head with a smile and said, "No way, I'm not selling this jade."
Following the trend, he took back the jade stone from his opponent's hand. Just as Xu Yu was about to put it on, the middle-aged man suddenly became anxious and said, "I'll give you 110,000!"
"Heh heh." Xǔ Yú continued shaking his head, but just then, from outside the door, a surprised voice suddenly rang out, "Huh? This piece of jade doesn't look bad."
As soon as the words were spoken, a tall young man strode into the store and rushed straight to the jade pendant in Xu Yu's hand. He stopped just one step behind Xu Yu and smiled, "Old Zhang, is this jade worth 110,000?"
"Mr. Gu, how did you come? Hehe, I'm thinking of buying this jade to be the treasure of my store." As soon as he saw the man, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and the person in front of him was someone he knew. The other party often appeared in this jade market, collecting various beautiful jades. Not only was his family wealthy, but he was also an expert in jade.
"Alright then, my friend, I'll give you 1.2 million for this jade." In response to the middle-aged man's words, Gu Shao didn't take it seriously and just smiled at Xu Yu.
In an instant, his face changed color again, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. He naturally understood that this young master had seen through his trickery.
"Hehe, sorry, this jade is very important to me, I won't sell it." At this time, Xu Yu was also suddenly stunned, and then a flash of insight flashed in her heart, smiling and refusing.
Actually, he still greatly underestimated the value of this jade, but what he said just now was also true, he would never sell this piece of jade in his hands.
To be sold, also wait until later, let him blend out other jade stones.
After finishing this sentence, Xu Yu also ignored the color change of the two people, thanked the middle-aged man again, and stepped out.
This made the two people in the store exchange a rather gloomy glance, and then the young man hastily caught up again, "Friend, wait a minute, can I take a closer look at that jade?"
"En? Okay." He paused for a moment, and Xǔ Yú stopped again, taking off the jade pendant.
When the young man took over the jade pendant, he carefully played with it in his hand for a moment before returning it to Xu Yu with an unusual expression and asked, "This piece of jade? You really don't plan on selling it?"
"En." Xǔ Yú smiled and nodded.
"What a pity." With that, the young man looked at Xu Yu deeply once again before reluctantly saying.
Xu Yu smiled again and walked out of the store. It was only then that the middle-aged boss quietly came to the young man's side, sighing, "Gu Shao, that piece of jade is worth at least one million, what a pity..."
"What a pity." The young man muttered, then looked at the middle-aged man again. A hint of disdainful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. One million? This guy is really blind to wealth.
That piece of jade is worth a whole city in some people's eyes!!
Not to mention one million, even ten million, there are still people scrambling for it.
However, how did that guy just now come to possess such an exquisite piece of jade? Judging from his attire, he's just a commoner...
"Not for sale? With the value of this jade, even if he really wanted to sell it, I would still feel a little heartache." A thought quietly turned over in his mind, and the smile at the corner of the young man's mouth suddenly took on a hint of evil.
He indeed has a rich family background and has been collecting beautiful jade. If he encounters an ordinary person who is willing to sell a piece of jade that is not particularly valuable, he will buy it. But now, he has encountered someone holding the extremely precious "Liancheng Jade" who is unwilling to sell, and what's more, this person appears to be just an ordinary little fellow, and it's unknown how they managed to obtain such a treasure.
