Chapter 44 – Emerald with Prices as High as Sky
“Your Majesty, as far as I can see, King Liang did not use this to recruit talents. His original intention actually lies in the Tang Dynasty Business Daily. Your Majesty, don't worry too much!” Shangguanyi finally said.
Li Chengqian was playing with a Turkish flannel hat. He did not reply, but suddenly put a hat on his head, and asked Shangguanyi with a smile, "Master Shangguan, do you think I look like a Turk?"
Shangguanyi's expression changed slightly, and he said: “Your Majesty, as the crown prince of a country, must remain dignified. You don't have to make jokes like that. If this word reached the ears of the emperor, it would definitely anger the emperor!
"Hmph, so boring, who else knows unless you are Du He!" Li Chengqian said unhappily.
The green-clothed young man was Du He, Du Ruhui's son, known as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui's son. In Zhenguan's fourth year, Du Ruhui died of illness. In order to appease Du Ruhui, Li Shimin promised to match his son and daughter, Princess Chengyang, with Du He, and give him the title of Duke of Xiangyang, and let his eldest son Du Gou marry the Duke of Lai.
"Your Majesty, Shangguan is right, be careful that the walls have ears!"
Du Ruhui's eldest son, Du Gou, is old-fashioned and has no ambition, while his second son, Du He, has followed his father's example since he was a child. Taking advantage of Li Shimin's opportunity to accompany him to study at the Eastern Palace, he quickly gained the trust of prince Li Chengqian and became the first son of the Eastern Palace. A counselor, she looked like Du Ruhui was helping Li Shimin back then.
Du He was like this, so Li Chengqian was not. He had been impersonating Li Shimin everywhere since he was a child. After Du He entered the Eastern Palace, the two of them instantly matched up, as if they were going to build the Eastern Palace into Prince Xiaoqin's House back then. As her leg disease became more and more serious, her younger brother's vigilance grew higher by the day, as she subconsciously feared that Li Shimin would overthrow her due to her foot disease. After all, who would allow eunuchs to become emperors.
Li Chengqian was unwilling to listen to Shangguanyi's words, but Li Chengqian had to listen to Du He's words. After all, he had always believed that Du He was Du Ruhui next to King Qin, and he could definitely send him to the highest throne.
Taking off his hat, Li Chengqian said to Du He, “Then let's go to the apse to play. This time you will play Turkic Khan, and I will play the murdered general. You can have a funeral for me, okay?
Du He wholeheartedly flattered Li Chengqian, and said with a smile, “Du He is obedient!”
Shangguanyi opened his mouth to say something, but Li Chengqian had pulled Du He towards the apse, "Hey, you can't teach Shuzi!" Shangguanyi let out a long sigh in the Mingde Hall. This Du He did not help the prince, he obviously led the prince's palace into the pit of fire, let the prince do everything, and helped the tyrant.
The crown prince's trip twice had already made Li Yin more vigilant. Shangguanyi did not believe that the position of editor-in-chief should be replaced. From the recruiter this time, Li Yin chose someone named Wang Zheng. In terms of talent, he was indeed better than Not Shangguanyi, but it was important this fellow had a clean background. He was a scholar who had just come to Beijing from somewhere else. He had no acquaintances in Chang'an City. He is a man worthy of training.
After the newspaper matter here was over, Li Yin returned to the auction house. After several days of preparation, it was time for the rough jade to show its true face.
“Chairman, the big media has contacted the place, and the rough jade has been sent to the international auction house in the city of sh. As far as I know, many people from the jewelry industry have come, and they are all waiting to see and cut the rough jade. When can we start! “In the office, Yang Suxin asked Li Yin.
After playing the game, Li Yin said: “Come from now on, by the way, you can be present in my place. I don't want to show my face, so I can only watch as a regular employee below!”
Yes, Chief!
Sh City's International Auction House, currently the main medium occupied the entire auction hall, and camera flashes were constantly reflected on the rough large jade on the stage. The chairs in the hall were people from the jewelry industry from all over the world, and they sat together at this time They whispered to each other and pointed to the rough jade on the stage from time to time.
“Nona Yang, do you have any confidence in this large coarse jade? According to the related expert speculation, if all of these coarse jade were high-quality jade, its value was enough to reach the total volume of crude jade transactions in the international market! “
In the face of reporters' questions, Yang Suxin fully showed the composure of a professional manager. He said: “Gaming with stones is a gamble. You can make a lot of money or lose your wealth. As for whether it is worth it, we can immediately decide Understand!
A reporter ended his question, and another reporter asked, “Where is this rough jade, Ms. Which, produced? It's so big, how could it be here!
“Of course Myanmar known as emerald hometown. As for how to transport it, I think it goes without saying now because the transportation is already very developed! Yang Suxin made a small joke while smiling.
After answering a few more questions, Yang Suxin looked to the time and said, "Now is the time for us to witness a miracle!" After speaking, he gestured to the jade expert who had waited for a while in the audience. All eyes were fixed on the rough large jade on the stage.
On the stage, the crude jade cutting tool was ready. The master in charge of cutting was also a master who had been in the stone gambling industry for ten years. Holding the cutting tool, the cutting master walked around the rough stone and finally chose the piece in the middle of the rough stone. Hands on a protruding rock.
"Zizy!" A sharp sound from the cutting machine rang out, and everyone held their breaths and waited for the result.
The main cutter supports the protruding stone with one hand, and stares at the cutting machine with the other hand. As the outer layer of the stone broke, traces of emerald green crystals were revealed within it, which made him a little nervous and more cautious.
“Ziz...Ziz...” The sound of the cutting machine is heard throughout the hall, and the situation under the cutting machine is precisely reflected on the big screen by the camera, and the fresh green color surprises everyone's eyes.
"Crack!" A stone about one meter long and twenty centimeters wide fell down. Except for the two-centimeter thick outer stone layer, it was filled with emeralds, and what was exposed to the original stone was also a soft green emerald.
At this moment, the cutting master was dumbfounded, the group of experts was dumbfounded, the media was dumbfounded, the jewelry maker was dumbfounded, Yang Suxin was dumbfounded, but on the stage, Li Yin, wearing a peaked hat, smiled, smiled, and this rough jade was indeed genuine.
After a brief shock, the media floodlights flickered loudly, and all the experts rushed to inspect the exposed jade. Under Yang Suxin's signal, the cutting expert started to cut another place, but the situation was the same, two centimeters There was a beautiful jade under the protective layer. Finally, Li Yin signaled that Yang Suxin was asking the cutting worker to cut the rough jade from the middle. As he had expected, these rough jade pieces were pure except for the outer stone layer of two centimeters. of emerald.
The group of experts was still appraising the jade, but the jewelers below had already started taking out their phones and reporting the situation here, as the auction would officially begin only after the appraisal results came out.
Ten minutes later, eight gray-haired jade experts stood before the media: “After the assessment of the expert group, it was agreed that this was a rare species of emerald green glass among jade. It weighs 30 tons or about 30,000 kilograms. Estimated at 12 billion euros.”
"My Lord!" Yang Suxin covered her mouth in surprise, and everyone present gasped. What kind of concept is this? This piece of coarse stone exceeded the total annual transaction volume of coarse jade in the world.
Duan Changming's hands trembled in excitement. This time, the commission earned by their auction hall could not exceed hundreds of millions. He said: "I will personally host this auction, and now I will ask for the price of the first jade weighing 30 kilograms.
