Wealth and beauty know no bounds

  As he entered the warehouse, Zhang Yang finally understood why Liang Pangzi wanted him to bring his tools.

  The warehouse is very large, with shelves as high as five meters. However, such a large warehouse has only a few ventilation windows, and the light is very dim. The light bulbs emit an ancient, yellowish glow, giving the entire warehouse a gloomy and cold feeling.

  Wang Luyao tightly hugged Zhang Yang's arm, this time it wasn't acting, she was really a little scared.

  "Brother Liang, isn't this a bit too obvious?" Zhang Yang said with a bitter smile.

  After entering the casino, Zhang Yang knew that most warehouses were like this, with dim lighting to make gamblers make wrong judgments. However, it was done very obviously and without any disguise, which was the first time Zhang Yang had seen.

  "Haha, little brother, you're still new to this line of work. I have a friend who said that the ones on the border are even more excessive than this. You'll get used to it later, anyway, everyone brings their tools and there's no big impact. I'm going inside with Master Bai to take a look at the half-finished materials, what about you?" asked Liang Pangzi.

  Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "I'd rather watch the whole game!"

  "Let's part ways here. Oh, and little brother, don't forget that at the entrance there is a detailed directory with all the wool numbers recorded on it. Take a look and mark down the ones you want. When we bid later, it will be according to the number." said Liang Pangzi.

  "Thanks, Liang!" Zhang Yang said gratefully.

  "What's the point of being polite with me? As long as you untie the jade pendant and think of your brother, that's enough." said Liang Pangzi.

  "That's natural."

  No matter what other ideas are in his mind, Zhang Yang will not expose them. This Liang Pangzi is greedy for money, but he has also helped himself a lot. Not to mention others, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't even know about this mysterious company.

  After Liang Pangzi walked far away, Wang Luoyao said: "Where did we look at it? There are so many stones here!"

  Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "There aren't many woolen goods here. Looking at the prices of several hundred yuan, didn't you see how many people came today? Moreover, those large woolen goods are beyond my budget, let's just look at the smaller ones."

  "You're the boss, whatever you say goes."

  Zhang Yang also bluntly ordered her: "You go and get me a catalog first, I'll take a look at this fabric."

  "Yes, boss!" Wang Luyao replied.

  After Wang Luyao left, Zhang Yang used his special ability to look at the wool on the shelf. The piece of wool that caught his eye was about two or three fists in size, with a coarse texture and a dull grayish-white color. It didn't look very impressive on the surface, but inside, it gave Zhang Yang a huge surprise. Underneath the outer layer was jadeite, a vibrant green with no impurities whatsoever. This was too exaggerated, how could there be such an incredibly fine piece of wool?

  Zhang Yang wasn't someone who had never gambled out a piece of jade before, but precisely because he had gambled one out before, the shock this piece of jade brought to Zhang Yang was even greater. In the past, raw materials always needed to be cut and re-cut in order to reveal the jade within, but this particular piece of raw material didn't need to be cut at all - just a simple polishing would do.

  "What's special about this stone?" Wang Luoyao asked from behind Zhang Yang.

  Zhang Yang lightly exhaled, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything returned to normal. He turned around and asked, "Did you get the things?"

  "Hmm, take a look here!" Wang Luyao handed the catalog to Zhang Yang, and she also went to examine this piece of fabric with great interest.

  Zhang Yang smiled slightly. If Wang Luyao could also see it, his X-ray eyes would be worthless.

  After checking the number of this piece of wool: 316, there is only one sentence introducing Mogang jade, priced at 2 million.

  Zhang Yang furrowed his brow, although he didn't understand what the green jade stone represented, but the price tag was enough to show that the seller had high hopes for this piece of wool. And this was just the fixed price, it would rise even higher during the auction. At this point, Zhang Yang discovered his biggest weakness, which was that he didn't know the specific price of jadeite, although he had sold three pieces of jadeite before, but the size and color of the material were all different.

  At this time, Zhang Yang was very regretful and felt he should have done some preparatory work earlier.

  I had to pick up the pen and draw a circle on this number, making a temporary mark. In any case, two fist-sized jade pieces won't be cheap, although I don't know if this green is more valuable than the one I appraised last time. Just based on its size, the price won't be low.

  "Let's go!" Zhang Yang said to Wang Luoyao.

  Wang Luyu pouted and said: "This is just a gamble, it's really a gamble, nothing can be seen, isn't this just relying on luck?"

  Zhang Yang smiled and didn't say anything. He had just taken a glance at the catalog and found that there were only 500 numbers inside, which means that in such a large warehouse, there were only 500 pieces of wool fabric. With so many buyers coming, but with only this much wool fabric available, it was bound to lead to a collision situation. He needed to try his best to pick those that didn't look good after all, he wanted to make money. If the price of the wool fabric exceeded the value of jade, then he would be at a loss.

  Most of the catalogs had a place of origin for the wool, but Zhang Yang didn't know what these places represented. Fortunately, there was something called Baidu now, and Zhang Yang took out his mobile phone to search online. Soon he saw an introduction to Mogang jade stone.

  Mogok jade (also known as Mogok jadeite): The skin is relatively coarse, with a grayish-yellow or grayish-white color; the jade has good water and base, with few cracks, and is a high-quality green or full-green variety with green inclusions. It rarely contains impurities, and glass bottom is more common, but the output is small. It is one of the top ten famous jade mines in Myanmar.

  After reading this introduction, Zhang Yang understood why the price of this piece of wool was so high.

  Approaching Zhang Yang thought of a terrible question, he hastily looked up the notes on other wool products in the catalog, and after comparing them with Baidu's top ten notorious pits, he came to a terrifying conclusion: almost all the wool products here come from the top ten notorious pits.

  My god, how did this boss manage to do it?

  No wonder so many people are flocking to it, it turns out that the level of this auction is so high. I remembered Liang Pangzi just now letting him take a closer look, also subtly reminding him that the wool here is not from mainland China, and it's not something you can buy if you want to.

  "Boss, what's wrong?" Wang Luoyao asked with concern as she saw Zhang Yang's face looking a bit off.

  "I'm fine!"

  Originally picking up leaks is not always easy, the wool here must have a lot of jade, and their prices are not comparable to those wool that Zhang Yang bought before.

  "Let's go and take a look at those big ones inside," Zhang Yang said.

  Knowing the magnitude of the competition, Zhang Yang's mind has also changed. He was originally using the strategy of casting a wide net to catch more fish, but now it seems that this trick won't work. Everyone who comes here is an expert and knows even more than he does. They all have their eyes on every piece of material, and when the time comes, fierce competition is inevitable. It's impossible for him to compete with them for every single piece of jade, or else, even if he solves the mystery of the jade, he will end up with many inexplicable enemies.

  Zhang Yang believed that if his guess was correct, these big companies would have a general plan for how much to allocate to each company and how much to leave for individual customers, which had been planned long ago. The amount of wool that could flow out of their hands would not be too much, and as a newcomer, if he went around everywhere to make money, it would be easy to become the person who broke the rules.

  When the time comes, it's not just one person or a company that will be offended, but possibly most of the jewelry companies in Beijing. If things go wrong, it's possible to be kicked out of the Beijing jade market, such things can happen in any industry, Zhang Yang doesn't believe the jewelry industry is an exception.

  After all, it's still because of my own shallow foundation and lack of discourse power. In this situation, I might as well go all out to attack a piece of material that can bring me the greatest benefit. As long as I can make a living, that's enough.

  Zhang Yang walked inside, and there was a line of people walking out. The first two were chatting and laughing, followed by five or six others. After brushing shoulders with them, Zhang Yang stopped in his tracks.

  Just a moment ago, his blood was boiling all over because he recognized that group of people.

  Xiao Fei, just now you passed by, there was only one Xiao Fei, he himself wouldn't remember wrongly, his photo, he had looked at it countless times online, even if he turned to ashes, he could still recognize it.

  Wang Luyao looked at Zhang Yang in surprise, unable to understand why he had stopped again.

  Zhang Yang suppressed the urge to turn around, he didn't know if Xiao Fei recognized him or not, but he was sure that he had heard of his name before. If he recognized him as the man who was with Wang Yue back then, many things would be connected together and trouble would come for him.

  "Yao Yao, help me out for a moment!" Zhang Yang said.

  "What's wrong?" Wang Luoyao cautiously looked at Zhang Yang.

  "Don't worry, it's nothing big. When the bidding starts, you help me raise the paddle." Zhang Yang said.

  "What about you?" Wang Luoyao asked curiously.

  "I still have something on, I might not make it. Anyway, if anything comes up later, you'll help me hold the sign." Zhang Yang said.

  "You won't harm me, will you? I'll hold up the sign and you won't pay," said Wang Luoyao.

  "Don't worry, I won't do something so tasteless," Zhang Yang said.

  Hesitating for a moment, Wang Luyao said: "Alright, I'll help you this time, but boss, we didn't discuss the terms of the deal, what are you going to pay me?"

  Looking at Wang Luyao's cunning eyes, Zhang Yang rubbed his temples and said: "You say it!"

  "Alright then, you're treating me to a meal!" Wang Luoyao said.

  "No problem with this," Zhang Yang replied.
