Chapter 46: The Gallstone Remedy (Part 2)

  "Three hundred thousand, take a closer look, the blood color on all four sides of this square seal is over 70%, enough to rival the Great Red Robe. Are you trying to get a bargain here?"

  Li Yang hadn't spoken yet, but Wu Xiaoli first responded bluntly. Li Yang recognized that this was a chicken blood stone, but he wasn't particularly familiar with the price. Anshi Jewelry didn't have any business with chicken blood stones in Mingyang, and his understanding of them was purely the result of his recent diligent studies.

  "This young lady is right, 300,000 is really too low. This seal might be auctioned off for over a million at an auction!"

  The middle-aged man who had just told the origin of the chicken blood stone smiled, while Li Yang was stunned there.

  Earlier, when Li Yang discovered this chicken blood stone, he didn't think it would be so valuable. At that time, Li Yang only felt that this piece of chicken blood stone was good and guessed its value to be around ten million yuan. After all, chicken blood stones were not something Li Yang knew much about.

  Just now when that person bid thirty thousand, Li Yang was already very surprised. Wu Xiaoli and the middle-aged man in front of him said something even more surprising: this small stone was actually worth more than jadeite. The last time Li Yang sold a small piece of old pit ice species to Wang Haomin, it was only slightly larger than this one.

  "You also said that's the auction price, it can't actually be sold for that much!"

  The person who previously bid 300,000 was somewhat disgruntled and said that he had indeed bid 300,000 with the intention of getting a bargain. If there hadn't been so many people here and the chicken blood stone hadn't been called out for its origin, he would have probably only bid 30,000 yuan.

  "Young man, hand over this seal to me and I'll give you 7 million!"

  The middle-aged man didn't care about that greedy guy, and suddenly raised the price to 700,000, smiling at Li Yang.

  Wu Xiaoli and Li Can both fell silent, the price of 700,000 yuan cannot be said to be high, but it is absolutely not low either. This seal is generally too small, if it were a bit bigger, the price would definitely be over one million.

  Such a square seal, put on an auction may be sold for millions of dollars, but that is the auction, and it's just possible to sell for over one million. Moreover, auctions not only charge high handling fees, but also take a long time to get the money, generally speaking, private transactions, 700,000 yuan is a reasonable price.

  Li Yang took a glance at Wu Xiaoli, shook his head and smiled: "I'm really sorry, sir. I mentioned earlier that this Buddha statue was intended as a birthday gift. Since the statue is gone, we can only use this plaque as a substitute!"

  Li Yang's words stunned everyone, especially Wu Xiaoli. This was not an eight-hundred-yuan rough Buddha statue, but a seventy-thousand-yuan chicken bloodstone square seal. Judging from Li Yang's attire, he didn't look like the kind of rich young master who could splurge thousands at will.

  "Li Yang, this is too expensive, my grandfather can't afford it!"

  Wu Xiaoli said with some stuttering, but her eyes showed a moving expression. Regardless of whether Li Yang was sincere or not, the fact that he could say such things made Wu Xiaoli very happy.

  "Young man, if you just want to give a birthday gift, that's easy. Sell it to me and then go buy something more suitable as a gift, how about that?"

  The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, but immediately regained his composure and smiled at Li Yang.

  "It's really embarrassing, the words have already been spoken, how can they be taken back, you say is it!"

  Li Yang shook his head, the 700,000 yuan gift was quite expensive, but Li Yang thought for a moment that Wu Xiaoli had helped them a lot in their family affairs, especially with the school land issue, which reduced the Li family's loss by tens of millions. Giving such a gift could be justified.

  Thinking this way, Li Yang's determination became even firmer. What was originally a joke now became true, and he really intended to give it as a birthday gift to Wu Xiaoli's grandfather. Moreover, Li Yang only thought that it was something he bought for 800 yuan, without thinking about the fact that it was worth 700,000.

  "Alright then, I'll add 800,000. I really like this seal, just give it to me!"

  The middle-aged man looked at Li Yang, thought for a moment and suddenly said that there were already twenty or thirty people gathered around, someone had bought something in the antique city and unexpectedly got a piece of fine chicken bloodstone, the news had spread quickly, and soon more people would gather.

  "Li Yang, just sell it, 800,000 is not a low price. This thing is so expensive that even if you gave it to my grandfather for free, he wouldn't want it. If you really want to give it away, let's go pick out something else later!"

  Wu Xiaoli suddenly pulled Li Yang and whispered, Li Can also looked at Li Yang, such a big leak in the antique city has not appeared for several years, thinking that it was his own boss who did it, Li Can became somewhat excited.

  "Xiao Li, you've helped me so much with things at my place. Honestly, I really want to thank you. This seal may not be worth much money, but it's just a small token of my appreciation, just like that Buddha statue was worthless just now!"

  Li Yang shook his head again and whispered to Wu Xiaoli, his eyes filled with sincerity. Wu Xiaoli stared blankly at Li Yang, also speechless.

  "Alright, you're absolutely right, kid. You've got a good heart and that's great. Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you either. Here's my business card - if someday you change your mind or can't give this seal as a gift, just give me a call. The price will still be the same, 800,000!"

  The middle-aged man suddenly nodded and said, taking out a business card from his pocket and handing it to Li Yang. When looking at Li Yang, his eyes did not hide his appreciation for him.

  "Chairman of Kaida Group in Mingyang City, Zheng Kaida?"

  Li Yang took a glance at the business card and looked up at the middle-aged man in front of him with surprise. Li Yang still remembered that Zhang Wei had told him last time at Cuiyu Xuan that there were four directors of the Mingyang Jade Stone Association, besides Gu Lao, Sima Lin and Wang Haomin, there was also Zheng Kaida.

  Zheng Kaida nodded and looked at Li Yang's hand with a hint of regret, then turned to leave.

  "Wait a minute, Mr. Zheng, do you know Zhang of Cuixuan's?" Li Yang hastily called out to Zheng Kaida.

  "Cuiyu Xuan, Zhang Wei?" Zheng Kaida stopped and turned around to glance at Li Yang.

  "Yes!" Li Yang nodded.

  "Of course I know you, we're old friends now. Who are you?" Zheng Kaida turned around and walked back, looking at Li Yang with a puzzled expression.

  "My name is Li Yang, I heard Zhang Zong mention you when we were at Cui Yu Xuan!"

  Li Yang smiled and said that he was now 90% sure that the middle-aged man in front of him was Zheng Kaida, the last director of the Mingyang Jade Stone Association whom he had never met.

  "Li Yang, Li Yang, I remember now! You're that Li Yang who gambled away three fortunes and gained two in Qingdao, and later gambled away the old ice pit at Cuiyu Xuan!"

  Zheng Kaida's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and finally he burst out laughing and warmly shook Li Yang's hand.

  Everyone around was confused, especially Wu Xiaoli. He knew about Qingdao and Cui Yuexuan also knew, having been there several times, but had no idea that Li Yang had gambled away the old ice species in Laokeng.

  "I really didn't expect to meet you here, yesterday Sima even told me that if there's a chance, I must get to know you. The old pit ice seed you gambled out last time has indeed brought a lot of face to our Mingyang Jade Stone Association!"

  Zheng Kaida looked very happy, Sima Lin had indeed mentioned Li Yang to him before and gave Li Yang a very high evaluation. At that time, Zheng Kaida felt that Sima Lin was exaggerating a bit, praising Li Yang too much. Now it seems that Sima Lin not only didn't exaggerate but also understated.
