3091 They Offer Higher Prices
“Right, this girl has incredibly good luck. I don’t think I can be so lucky even once in my life!”
“I’ll watch her become rich overnight.”
“Ridiculous! She’s already very rich. Otherwise she wouldn’t have money to pay over ten million yuan for these two half-cut raw jade materials.”
“If these two weren’t half cut, she could make a lot more.”
“But then it’s hard to know whether there is jade inside.”
“You’re right.”
“Miss Leng, I have to admit that you’re much better than me at stone gambling,” Shen Xiyin said. It was surprising that Leng Xiaoyao got a piece of jade so easily, so she didn’t expect to see the second piece of jade. Moreover, both of the two pieces of jade were of high quality. She had rarely even seen people do that in City Yun!
Because jade originated from City Yun, it was easier to cut out jade there, but even then, it was rare to cut out two pieces of jade one after another.
It could happen, but what Leng Xiaoyao achieved was still very rare.
“I’m flattered, Miss Shen,” Leng Xiaoyao said politely.
The second piece of jade was likely to be valuable, but they weren’t sure of its value yet. No one knew whether it was worth eight million yuan. Even if it wasn’t worth so much, it could pay some of the cost. Anyway, Leng Xiaoyao could still make money with it, so no one dared to laugh at her now.
After the second raw jade material was completely cut open, they saw a big jade. It was worth even more than the first confederate rose and the price would be at least twenty-five million yuan.
The other people there couldn’t be more jealous of Leng Xiaoyao.
“Miss, are you sure you won’t sell? You can sell either of them,” someone asked reluctantly. It was hard to cut out jade, so he really wanted to buy it.
“Sorry, I honestly don’t want to sell either of them,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
Hearing that, the man was very disappointed.
“Um, Miss Leng, will you sell the leftover bits and pieces?” Gu Yankai asked. He couldn’t afford the jade, but he had enough money to buy the leftover bits and pieces if Leng Xiaoyao was willing to sell.
He could use the leftover bits and pieces to make some earrings and jade pendants. His wife’s birthday was around the corner, but he didn’t have money to buy a luxury gift, so he could only make some jewelry with the leftover bits and pieces on his own.
The leftover bits and pieces weren’t worth much, but they could be valuable after they were made into earrings and jade pendants. After all, handwork was expensive.
However, Gu Yankai was a jewelry designer, so he could do that by himself.
After he went bankrupt three years ago, his wife didn’t leave him. Now the ones he felt most grateful to were his wife and kids.
“Sure, a thousand yuan. You can take all of them,” said Leng Xiaoyao. Because she had a good impression of Gu Yankai, she didn’t mind selling them to him. Even if she didn’t sell, she didn’t need these leftover bits and pieces.
“W-What? A thousand yuan?” Gu Yankai was surprised. Not only Gu Yankai, but the others were also surprised. No matter how worthless these leftover bits and pieces were, they were worth at least ten thousand yuan because they were high-quality jade.
However, this girl sold them for only a thousand yuan.
Actually, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t want any money, but she knew it would hurt Gu Yankai’s pride if she directly gave them to him. Therefore, she asked for a thousand yuan in order to protect his face.
“Miss, I’m willing to pay you two thousand yuan,” said someone at once.
“I can pay you three thousand yuan.”
They began to bid.
However, Leng Xiaoyao ignored them. She focused on Gu Yankai and asked, “Sir, do you want them if I ask for a thousand yuan?”
Hearing that, those who offered higher prices were mad. Why didn’t she sell the leftover bits and pieces to them? Why did she sell it at the price of a thousand yuan to Gu Yankai?
Even the onlookers were confused. Didn’t she want to make more money?
Anyway, it was Leng Xiaoyao’s right, so they couldn’t say anything.
However, some people thought Leng Xiaoyao had made dozens of millions of yuan and didn’t lack money at all. Obviously, she deliberately sold the leftover bits and pieces to Gu Yankai at a very low price.
“But they offered higher prices,” Gu Yankai said. He knew that Leng Xiaoyao sold them to him at a very low price on purpose. However, he felt he shouldn’t take them. After all, many people offered higher prices for them. If he took the leftover bits and pieces at a low price, he was taking advantage of Leng Xiaoyao.
“But you asked me first. I gave you the starting price. If you don’t want them, I’ll sell them to other people. That’s my principle,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
Hearing that, the other people agreed with her and regretted not asking her to buy the leftover bits and pieces first.
If they paid only a thousand yuan for them, they could make several thousand yuan by selling them!
However, if they wanted to buy the leftover bits and pieces, Leng Xiaoyao wouldn’t give them such a low price.
“Um, I think I should give you two thousand yuan,” Gu Yankai said. If he was charged only a thousand yuan for the leftover bits and pieces, he wouldn’t be at ease, but he really wanted them, so he was unwilling to leave them to other people.
“No need, I only want a thousand yuan. That’s my promise. If I increase the price right now, I wouldn’t be keeping to my principles,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
Gu Yankai agreed. He didn’t want to give up the leftover bits and pieces, so he accepted the price and repeatedly thanked Leng Xiaoyao.
Leng Xiaoyao took a thousand yuan from Gu Yankai who immediately packed up the leftover bits and pieces.
Afterwards, Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin also left.
Because Leng Xiaoyao’s two pieces of jade were very valuable, she attracted attention from some unkind people.
As a result, when Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin walked away from the store together, Leng Xiaoyao noticed that they were being stalked.
However, there were only a few hoodlums, so Leng Xiaoyao paid little attention to them.
“Miss Shen, if you have nothing to do here, we can leave for the city center right now. There are too many people here. It’s noisy. We can go to a quiet café,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“No problem! I have nothing to do here, so we can go to the city center,” Shen Xiyin agreed, then she asked, “Did you drive here or take a taxi?”
“I took a taxi,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“I drove here. You can go with me,” Shen Xiyin offered.
“Thanks,” said Leng Xiaoyao.
Those hoodlums followed them constantly, but because there were too many people, they didn’t have a chance to attack them.
