Chapter 349: The Best for Jiang Xia
Chapter 349: The Best for Jiang Xia
Zhou Chenglei: "The deal introduced by Second Brother is worth investing in."
This is the city's tallest building, specifically constructed for the grand entrance of the open-faced door. It is a landmark building that ranks among the best in all of Huaxia, possessing a groundbreaking significance.
Such a building is destined to shine and stand tall for generations.
Moreover, even if it is a collective investment, not everyone can participate. It's not as simple as having money to invest.
Zhang Rong would not deceive him or casually give others this opportunity.
Jiang Xia: "Second Brother, do we just need to sign?"
This building, a future landmark, will stand tall and prosperous for decades, and Jiang Xia naturally understands its worth.
Jiang Xia also knows that this is not a favor from Zhang Rong, and such a good opportunity won't fall into their laps.
Zhang Rong is delighted by their trust, "These are just initial cooperation agreements. Sign first to confirm the investment funds. We'll notify you when it's time for the official signing ceremony. If there are many investors, there's no guarantee you'll be selected. Do you want to invest just 2.5 million, or wait until the other piece of jade is sold and invest everything?"
Being able to bid over 2 million surprised Zhang Rong.
Of course, what surprised him was the quality of the two pieces of jade, which exceeded his imagination.
The purple piece was already large in size, and after removing the skin, it revealed a spring belt color material.
The surface appeared delicate and moist, with excellent color and few cracks. It seemed to have a high water content, and it was estimated that two to three jade bracelets could be made from it.
Generally, when a piece of rough jade can produce bracelets, the price increases significantly. After making the bracelets, there is still enough material for many pendants, beads, and other jewelry, with only the flawed and cracked pieces used for decorative items.
In any case, a piece of rough jade will be fully utilized by humans, and even the flawed and cracked parts won't be wasted.
The cracks and flaws can be avoided through carving designs. In essence, most intricate carving designs for jade aim to conceal cracks and flaws.
If the carving design is excellent, it can greatly increase the value, transforming waste into treasure.
Jiang Xia: "Can the money be paid in installments?"
Zhang Rong: "Yes, but not for too long."
Zhou Chenglei asked Jiang Xia, "If the other piece can also be sold for more than 2.5 million, then we'll invest a total of 5 million. If it doesn't sell, we'll invest it all. What do you think?"
Jiang Xia: "Okay."
Jiang Xia was also afraid of investing too little and not meeting the minimum investment requirements.
"Alright! Then fill in 5 million and sign!"
Zhang Rong couldn't predict how much the other piece of jade would sell for, but he knew it would be more than the purple one. After all, it had produced a full green bracelet, and such a green bracelet was already of collectible grade.
Jiang Xia said to Zhou Chenglei, "You sign!"
Zhou Chenglei: "You sign."
Zhang Rong: "Both of you can sign."
Zhou Chenglei: "There's no need for both. Either of us signing is the same. Xiaxia can sign."
Zhang Rong was speechless. If either of them signing is the same, why did you ask your wife to sign?
Zhou Chenglei flipped to the signature section, uncapped the pen, and handed it to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia didn't hesitate, as they were a married couple, and it didn't matter who signed.
Jiang Xia took the pen and signed her name.
Zhou Chenglei opened the inkpad and handed it to her.
Jiang Xia pressed her index finger into the inkpad and then stamped her fingerprint onto her name.
Zhou Chenglei closed the inkpad and took Jiang Xia's finger, using a handkerchief to wipe it clean.
This series of actions left Zhang Rong in awe, and a word suddenly popped into his mind: 'spoiled.'
However, he was also impressed that such a large asset was signed by his wife alone.
As the handkerchief couldn't clean it completely, Jiang Xia said, "I'll go wash my hands."
Zhang Rong immediately told her the direction of the bathroom.
After Jiang Xia left, Zhou Chenglei said to Zhang Rong, "Second Brother, when the finished product is ready, let me know. I want to choose a bracelet for Xiaxia."
Jiang Xia's hands were fair and white, and the jade bracelet would look stunning on her.
Zhang Rong said, "The bracelet has been prepared. You can take a look now."
Zhang Rong opened the safe and took out the three bracelets.
Zhou Chenglei glanced at them and picked up the two full green ones, examining them closely.
Zhang Rong said, "You can take these two bracelets to Hong Kong Island for auction. They will definitely fetch a starting price of one million. The other one is also very good. Why don't you keep this one for your sister-in-law? Even though it's not full green, it's still auction-worthy."
Zhang Rong pointed to one of them.
In fact, all three bracelets were of excellent quality. Although the third one wasn't full green, it was still of the glass variety, with a unique half-mountain, half-water feel that created a wonderful artistic effect. Those who appreciated it would truly love it, and it was definitely auction-worthy.
Zhou Chenglei chose the one he thought was the best, putting down the other one, and didn't even look at the one that wasn't full green.
"I want this one," he said firmly.
Zhang Rong was exasperated, "No, this type of bracelet isn't meant to be worn often. It's more for collecting and only worn on special occasions. Why do you want to keep it? Jade can nurture people. I can get your sister-in-law a bracelet from the counter for a few hundred yuan. I'll even get her one worth a thousand yuan, which she can wear daily. I'll give it to her as a gift!"
Zhou Chenglei refused, "No need, this one is fine."
Of course, the best one should be kept for Jiang Xia.
Zhang Rong was almost at his wit's end, gritting his teeth, "This one is indeed good, but it's not suitable for everyday wear. What if you accidentally knock it and break it? Won't you feel heartbroken?"
The word "heartbroken" was almost a roar.
"I won't feel heartbroken," Jiang Xia replied.
If jade can nurture people, then the better the jade, the more it should nurture.
Jiang Xia deserved the best.
Zhang Rong was speechless.
At that moment, Jiang Xia returned, asking, "Why would you feel heartbroken?"
Zhang Rong quickly explained to Jiang Xia, "Your husband wants to keep the best bracelet for you. He's not even thinking about making a profit. You should persuade him!"
This wasn't just spoiling his wife; it was letting desire cloud his judgment.
Although the situation had improved in the past two years, who in the mainland would dare to wear such high-quality jade? Those who had such treasures kept them hidden, afraid to bring them out.
Wouldn't it be better to turn it into money? What couldn't money buy in these times?
"If it's for everyday wear, it's better to choose a cheaper one. Second Brother, I'll give you one! I have a thousand-yuan jade bracelet in my shop, and it's also top-quality! The water head is excellent! Let me show you! I'll give it to you!"
Please, don't waste such a precious item!
Zhou Chenglei refused again, "No need, I want this one!"
Zhang Rong was at a loss for words.
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up when she saw the emerald green bracelet, "Is this the one from our jadeite rough?"
It seemed no different from the million-yuan emerald green bracelet she had seen online in her previous life.
Zhou Chenglei nodded and slipped the bracelet onto Jiang Xia's wrist.
Jiang Xia's fair hands looked even whiter with the bracelet on.
It looked stunning!
Zhou Chenglei said to Jiang Xia, "Keep this one and wear it."
Jiang Xia glanced at the other two bracelets, and even though she wasn't an expert on jade, she could tell they were exceptional.
They were clearly extraordinary and worthy of being collected.
She nodded, "Okay."
She wouldn't dare to wear it herself, fearing she might accidentally break it and cry.
But keeping it would only increase its value.
Zhang Rong was speechless.
These two, one willing to keep it, and the other daring to wear it. Were they not interested in making a profit?
