A Great Harvest

This time, when selecting raw stones, Qi Zixiao did not hide behind the screen again.

He hid behind the screen to prevent his identity from being exposed and people from knowing that he was ' Lin Fan ' who bought so many raw stones, thus attracting unwanted attention.

Secondly, it is necessary to convince these people that they really made the blind selection.

But now it's not necessary.

First, people have now seen 'themselves'; second, people have also come to believe that they were chosen blindly.

So, as long as Qi Zixiao doesn't act too exaggeratedly at this moment, like going around tapping and banging on each piece of raw stone, there won't be any problems.

She clasped her hands in a fist and bowed gently to the crowd.

"There are too many people and too many raw stones, so I won't greet everyone individually. Let's get started. I'll take a quick look here, and once you've chosen your stone, whoever it belongs to will contact Sister Qin."

"Good!"

"Let's begin, boss."

"We're all waiting here."

Everyone was very supportive and chimed in.

"This time... okay, there are too many, so I won't go by numbers. I'll just go by eye to see whichever catches my eye. I'll just take a quick look and choose whichever one I like."

Qi Zixiao said it casually.

"Okay, no problem!"

"Come on, boss."

"We're going to pick out a lot this time. We've brought almost everything we own, just waiting for you to make your move, haha."

"Are you guys trying to completely ruin me? I may buy things based on gut feeling, but money... it's not unlimited. I'll just do my best, just my best~"

Qi Zixiao gave a wry smile.

When it's time to put on an act, you still have to.

Even if you're secretly overjoyed, you still have to pretend to be 'pitiful' on the surface.

Believe it or not, how many people believe it doesn't matter; those who need to pretend still have to pretend!

"Then I'll begin!"

Amidst the jeers of the crowd, Qi Zixiao began to select raw stones.

She stopped approaching and instead kept a distance of three to five meters, pretending to glance at the person while actually activating her full sensory abilities...

"This one!"

"This one!"

"This piece, this piece... and... Li-laoban, you've done well this time. I actually found five pieces that catch my eye here. Take them and hand them over to Sister Qin."

"No problem, no problem, I'll go right away!"

The raw stone supplier, surnamed Li, was grinning from ear to ear. He gathered his men, picked up the stones, and left.

I'm so happy!

They were all watching. Lin Fan didn't choose carefully, and before coming here, they certainly studied it thoroughly.

These rough stones were only brought over by them when they were unsure of their chances, or even when they felt there was a high probability of them being cut into something bad.

But who would have thought that Qi Zixiao would choose so many?

Isn't this a huge profit?

It's totally worth it!!!

The others looked at Li-laoban with envy, especially the raw stone suppliers who were further back in line. Now, they felt not only envy, but also worry and regret!

What are you worried about?

Worried about buying it like this?

In their opinion, even without getting a close look, some of Li-laoban's rough stones were basically unusable...

This stuff, Mr. Lin actually bought it?

What does that tell us?

This shows he's a complete novice! He doesn't understand anything and is just making blind purchases! And he's doing it entirely based on what he sees first.

I selected five items from a Li-laoban. How much money will I have to spend later?

The key is that we already have so many suppliers ahead of us. By the time it gets to me, will this mysterious Mr. Lin still have the money to buy from him?!

What I regret is...

Why the hell didn't I come sooner?!

Why the hell didn't I bring more? Forget about the quality, now it seems this guy is a complete novice!

I regret it so much!!!

I'm so regretful!

However...

They were all filled with regret, but Qi Zixiao was secretly overjoyed.

The first boss found five Pseudo Spiritual Stone! This is an amazing start, isn't that something to be happy about?!

Looking at it at a glance, how many are left for you to choose from?

There are still many shop owners outside who haven't been able to get in, along with their goods! Today is definitely going to be a huge success!

On the counter to the side.

Qin Ya, along with several of her experienced finance and accounting staff, was settling accounts.

Zhou Na, who came to help, did nothing else but keep an eye on the suppliers.

For example, if Li-laoban brought dozens of rough stones, but Qi Zixiao only selected five, then she would keep an eye on Li-laoban and the others to make sure they didn't switch them out.

Of course, this was her own idea, not Qi Zixiao's arrangement.

In her view, with so many people around, if Qi Zixiao wasn't careful, she could easily be switched out.

But... what she didn't know was that Qi Zixiao had been watching all along, so the switch couldn't be made.

However, Zhou Na has nothing else to do right now.

So what if I know Martial Art?

Are we supposed to just drag these rough stone suppliers out and beat them up for no reason? That doesn't make sense, does it?

Therefore, she thought of doing something necessary.

Qi Zixiao was quite grateful for this, so she did not stop it.

The selection process continues.

Qi Zixiao was very fast, and to prevent people from thinking that she was intentionally observing or something, she even sped up.

She would usually just glance at a supplier's dozens or hundreds of rough stones, and she would pretend to look at them from a distance for two or three minutes at most.

They would look at each piece for about a second, quickly deciding which piece they wanted and which they didn't.

soon...

One by one, the raw stone suppliers went in happily and came out happily.

The vehicles that had blocked almost half of the antique street began to slowly disperse.

Qin Ya, on the other hand, was spending money like water!

By noon, all the raw stones from the two or three hundred people had finally been collected!

The results were encouraging, with a total of over 1,300 Pseudo Spiritual Stone.

Even after deducting the 999 pieces from the Intermediate Spirit Gathering Array, there are still more than 300 pieces left. Of course, we still have to pay off our debts.

More than 1,300 Spirit Stone.

The unit price ranges from 600,000 to 2 million. Even if it averages around 1 million, that's still a lot.

More than a billion!

Even Qin Ya couldn't come up with such a large sum of money, so she borrowed some from several wealthy women, but it wasn't a big problem.

"More than a billion, but based on previous experience, the value of a single Pseudo Spiritual Stone is at least several hundred million, so cutting out at most two hundred Pseudo Spiritual Stone should be enough to close the gap."

"But for now... let's eat first!"

Have a meal!

It's the middle of the day, everyone's hungry, what are we waiting for if we don't eat?

"Sister Qin, Na-jie, let's call everyone over and have a meal first. We've been busy all day and we're all starving."

"I'm not hungry, but my eyes are sore," Zhou Na chuckled.

Qin Ya shook her head and said, "My throat is burning."

"Okay, let's go get something to eat."

Lin Fan pointed to the numerous security personnel. "These guys?"

"They have to keep an eye on it."

Qin Ya whispered, "You have goods here worth over a billion right now, and that's at least a billion..."

"That's true."

Qi Zixiao realized that the saying "wealth should not be flaunted" was wrong; this wealth was far too blatant!

Even in China, where there's practically no outright robbery, does that mean people can't steal?

I really can't feel at ease if no one is watching over me.

At the dinner table, only Qin Ya and Zhou Na were present.

Qi Zixiao, holding a large glass of beer, said with a smile, "I'd like to toast you two sisters; you've really helped me a lot today!"

"Where?"

The two women also raised their glasses in response.

For them...

' Lin Fan ' is too mysterious and too amazing!

Based on their shared impression, both women felt that Lin Fan was a 'successor of ancient Chinese medicine' or something similar, and also had a 'special ability' to tell the value of raw stones at a glance!

In addition, Zhou Na believes that Lin Fan is a hidden Martial Arts Expert... He knows Internal Energy, and who knows, he might even be the kind of person who can step on his own foot to fly into the sky.

Regardless of the circumstances, these impressions were enough to make them take Lin Fan seriously and sincerely!

While eating and drinking, the three of them started chatting in a private room, which was Jin Ruyu's territory.

Qin Ya suddenly sighed, "The prices of top-quality jadeite and gemstones are probably going to drop sharply."

"What do you mean?" Qi Zixiao asked, puzzled.

"Too many."

Qin Ya looked at Qi Zixiao with a sincere expression. "Don't think that I'm trying to trick you. It's just that our market, this whole system, is only so big."

"Top-quality jadeite, especially large ornaments, is indeed very expensive, but precisely because it is so expensive, very few people buy it."

"Occasionally one or two pieces will appear, and everyone will be scrambling to buy them. It's common for them to be auctioned off for astronomical prices."

"But if they appear in large quantities, they won't be in high demand, and the price will naturally drop."

"Things are valued for their rarity..." Qi Zixiao realized, and frowned slightly. "That is indeed the case."

"However, there's nothing we can do; we still have to sell what needs to be sold."

"Yes."

Qin Ya didn't object. "Speaking of which, I really admire you. I really don't know how you can pick out such valuable stones from those rough stones with just a glance."

"You know, to be honest, many of those rough stones have been sitting there for ten or even decades, with nobody daring to buy them or cut them!"

This is true.

Good rough stones can easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, yet people can't accurately judge their quality; if they could, they would have already cut them themselves!

But if you can't judge it accurately, how many people are willing to spend that much money?

This has led to a gradual accumulation of many raw stones.

Otherwise, Qi Zixiao wouldn't have been able to collect so many Pseudo Spiritual Stone in such a short time...

After this wave, it can be said that most of the top-quality jadeite and raw jade stones accumulated in the Southeast Asian market over the past few decades have been collected!

Then release them for sale, even if only a portion is sold, it will inevitably cause the price to plummet!

Note that it was a sharp drop, not a slight decline!

Thinking of this, Qi Zixiao frowned slightly.

She knew that Qin Ya wasn't trying to trick her; the price was really going to plummet.

But here's the problem: if the price crashes, won't I suffer huge losses?

Pseudo Spiritual Stone are what I truly need. Compared to that, what is money? Once you truly step into the Cultivation World, money is just worthless paper, the kind you wouldn't even want to use to wipe your butt!
