Emerald City

Chapter 74: Emerald City

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Since he took care of you at first, why did he suddenly change his attitude later?"

Shen Rong sobbed: "Because I'm useless, I'm a coward."

Seeing her sad look, Zhang Jun sighed, and said softly: "No matter what others say, I never think you are a coward. If a person never comes and hurts others intentionally, then no one can blame him."

Shen Rong looked at Zhang Jun in a daze, and asked, "Really?"

Zhang Jun nodded vigorously, even if he didn't use the Buddha's eye to see through, he knew that Shen Rong was very weak at the moment, and if he said a word badly, it might lead to unpredictable consequences.

Shen Rong's soul seemed to have found a support point, and she continued to tell Zhang Jun the story that was deeply imprinted in his heart.

One winter many years ago, the weather was surprisingly cold. Chen Wan took Shen Rong to go skating. They met a group of people on the skating rink and accidentally collided.

The four opponents were not good at fighting. They were not afraid of the identity reported by Chen Wan with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Instead, they fought more fiercely. In the end, several people surrounded Chen Wan, who was lying down, and urinated on him together.

Shen Rong was terrified at that time. She saw Chen Wan being beaten, and all she could do was cry. She couldn't even hear Chen Wan's roar of "hurry up and call someone".

Because of this incident, Chen Wan hated her very much, and she was isolated by the whole circle because of this. From middle school to university, and then to work, it's all the same.

After listening to the narration, Zhang Jun looked calm. He sat next to Shen Rong, put his arms around her shoulders lightly, and said softly: "That person has just been trampled on his dignity and torn from his lofty and gorgeous coat. He is the real one. Such a coward and coward, an incompetent bastard who can only vent his anger on girls. Such a person is not worth remembering at all, you'd better forget him completely."

Zhang Jun's words made Shen Rong calm down. She hugged Zhang Jun's arm and murmured, "Thank you."

Soon, Shen Rong fell asleep and fell asleep holding his arm. Zhang Jun had no choice but to carry her into the car and take her to the hotel for a temporary stay. He originally wanted to send Shen Rong home, but when he thought of the possibility of trouble, he simply let her stay in the hotel for one night and talk about it tomorrow.

When Shen Rong woke up, she found a note beside her pillow, which said: "Yesterday you drank too much, I will help you back. Don't worry, I didn't even touch your hand. In addition, breakfast has been prepared. You go to work after eating." The signature is Zhang Jun.

Seeing the note, Shen Rong felt warm in her heart. She stretched out a long stretch, then smiled slightly, and said, "A new day has begun!"

Zhang Jun rushed to the Kyoto rough stone market with his people early in the morning. Kyoto is the economic and political center of the country, gathering talents from all over the world, so the emerald business here is naturally not small.

In the northern suburbs of Kyoto, there is a large-scale market, which gathers jade merchants from all over the world, and thousands of large and small stalls and shops are scattered all over the place. After nine o'clock every day, there will be a lot of people here, and cars will come and go.

This place is called Emerald City, and it is the gathering place for emerald merchants. This place is not as formal as the Donghai Stone Gambling Festival. It is composed of a large number of retail investors and the market is more active.

Zhang Jun and his party were walking in the wide aisle, his eyes kept scanning the booths, and he would stop for a moment, buying a few pieces of materials, big or small, half or all, regardless of the price.

And every time a part of the material is bought, someone will send it to the truck outside, and there will be a special person to guard it.

After walking through dozens of stalls in a row, Zhang Jun didn't make many purchases. He found that most of the materials were losing money and were not worth selling. It wasn't until I walked into a rough stone shop that I was attracted by a piece of semi-red stone weighing more than 100 kilograms.

The longitudinal section of this piece of material is pea green, the water head is not good, the light transmission is poor, and the color is too dark, it is not a good material. But even so, this piece of jade is priced at one million.

Naturally, what attracted Zhang Jun was not pea green, but three fist-sized emeralds buried deep in the half piece of jade. These three pieces of jadeite are distributed in a zigzag shape, two pieces are light green of ice type, and the third piece is emperor green of glass type that surprised Zhang Jun!

It is almost impossible for this kind of emerald to be hidden in the emerald, because the formation of emerald has gone through hundreds of millions of years and has a unique mineralization process, so it is extremely difficult for such a situation to happen.

In addition, the imperial green glass species is the best jadeite, and even a mine in Myanmar may not be able to dig out a few pieces. At the East China Sea Gambling Stone Festival, Zhang Jun saw so many materials, but he couldn't find a piece of imperial green made of glass. Although the piece in front of me is only the size of a fist, its value is incalculable.

On the surface, Zhang Jun just glanced at it casually, and asked, "Boss, can this material be cheaper?"

The boss was a skinny middle-aged man, and when he asked about the price, he regained his spirits and said, "Brother, this piece of jadeite is a good thing. Take it home and carefully polish and carve it. It won't be a problem to sell it for 15.6 million. This price is already the lowest. No, I won’t sell anything less.”

Zhang Jundao: "Boss, you don't need to talk about those fake ones. This stone has no water head and no color. At first glance, it looks like a piece of tofu with green hair. I won't give it a million."

Hearing Zhang Jun speak so poorly about the material, the boss was not happy, and said: "Brother, it's up to you to buy it or not, and it's up to me to sell it or not, but don't arrange things randomly."

Zhang Jun could see that the person in front of him was probably really unwilling to give in, so he could only say, "Okay, boss, we know each other once and twice, so I won't tell you about it. I hope you can hold me high when I come again next time One or two."

The boss turned gloomy and said with a smile, "Don't worry brother, next time you come, I'll give you a 15% discount!"

After buying this piece of material that weighed over a hundred kilograms, Zhang Jun continued to rush to other stalls and shops without stopping, and he pocketed anyone who could earn three to five times the price difference.

The Emerald City has a large area, and each stall has its own warehouse. More emeralds are stored in the warehouse, and it is more troublesome to look at. As a result, Zhang Jun bought materials much more slowly. On the first day, he only visited about one-tenth of the stalls.

However, the harvest was quite rich. He bought more than 20 million stones and ordered people to send them to the East China Sea that night.

In this way, he wandered around the Emerald City for five consecutive days, coupled with his generous shots, he swallowed a large amount of goods, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

On the fifth day, when Zhang Jun was picking rough stones, two people, one old and one middle school, were talking in low voices in the distance. The old man was over seventy years old, and his dark and thin face was full of wind and frost. He said, "It's been the fifth day, and this person is still buying it. Have you ever calculated how much he spent?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "At least one hundred million, if you dare to spend so much money into the Emerald City, the other party is either a fool or a master. Old man, which one do you think is more likely?"

The old man's name was Lao Bazi, he pondered for a while, and said, "Look at this young man, he doesn't look like an experienced jade expert, and he probably belongs to the latter type."

The middle-aged man said: "So, 20% of them may be experts. This time, I came to the Emerald City to sweep the goods."

The old man looked at him and said, "Yupi, do you want to attack him?"

The middle-aged man nicknamed Yupi sneered, and said: "I have studied it these days, and every time he buys stones, he will send someone to send them away. Let's find a few quick people to follow up and rob the goods halfway." Next! Even if you rob it once, you can still earn 10 to 20 million."

The old man looked sad, but said in his mouth: "This method is safe, but we still need to check the details of this person, don't be a relative of the emperor."

Yupi said: "Don't worry about this, I always do things carefully, and nothing will go wrong."

But Zhang Jun was picking out some eye-catching materials when he suddenly heard the conversation between the old man and the middle-aged man in the distance. Since he practiced the Vajra Seal, his hearing has far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he can hear the sound of ants eating leaves within ten meters.

Although the other party was tens of meters away and his voice was low, it still couldn't escape his ears.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, he sneered, and took the opportunity of going to the bathroom to call Li Yunfei. After arriving in the capital, he hadn't contacted Li Yunfei and the others, but calling at this time made the other party very happy.

"Brother, have you come to the capital? Why don't you come to me?" Li Yunfei asked loudly.

Zhang Jun said in a low voice: "Brother Li, I have encountered something, and I need your help."

"My family is welcome, just say it." Li Yunfei was very forthright.

Then Zhang Jun explained the situation, and Li Yunfei on the other end of the phone was furious, cursing: "You bastard who doesn't have eyes, you have robbed my brother! Don't worry about this, wait for my good news!"

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "After doing this batch of bastards, I will treat Brother Li to drink."

After contacting Li Yunfei, he continued to choose rough stones, and there was nothing unusual about them. On the other side, Li Yunfei called a dozen brothers and rushed towards Emerald City.

After choosing this one, he deliberately went to the shops of the elderly and middle-aged people and carefully selected them. Strange to say, he actually found more than a dozen stones that could increase in value by more than ten times from that pile of messy stones.

"Could it be that the rough stones in the hands of these two people are of higher quality?" He thought so in his heart, and proposed to go to the warehouse to have a look. When there is business coming, the two of them naturally have no objection, and even think that these sold goods will come back in all likelihood.

The warehouse of the two is located in the second basement of the Emerald City. It is sealed with two strong doors, making it difficult for strangers to get in. Even if you go in, there is no way to move the heavy rough stone away.

Entering the warehouse, Zhang Jun was secretly surprised. He found that it was a large warehouse with an area of ​​over a thousand square meters, filled with all kinds of emeralds.

His heart moved, and he said: "The two of you have so many goods. With this strength, you can completely stand on your own."

The old man said indifferently: "These goods do not belong to our family, but if you like them, we can sell them on behalf of you."

While talking, Zhang Jun looked through the jade in the warehouse, and soon his heart beat violently.
