415: Chapter 0395_1 415: Chapter 0395_1 Jadeite was introduced to China during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
According to historical records, as early as the ninth year of the Yongyuan era in the Eastern Han Dynasty (97 AD), “Rare treasures were sent from Yongchang in Caiyun Province (modern-day Baoshan) and the king of the Shan State,” marking the first ti jadeite from Myanmar reached China.
The Shan State refers to the regions of nggong and ngmi in northeastern Myanmar today.
At that ti, jadeite was a tribute, not a general commodity for trading.
These extraordinary “green stones” were viewed as luxuries by the royals and noblen in China, eagerly worn and displayed as fashion icons, and even used to distinguish ranks.
Similarly, the ancient city of Tengchong had already beco a transfer station on the Southwest Silk Road during the Han Dynasty.
In modern tis, the world’s pursuit of jadeite has continuously increased its price.
Tengchong in Caiyun Province has also beco one of the five major jadeite trading markets in China.
Although Tengchong County is not large, its jade industry has prospered since ancient tis.
Over the past thousand years, it has developed an inseparable connection with the “King of Jadeite”.
Thus, it is often referred to as the “Jadeite City”.
This jadeite trading fair has attracted people from all over the world.
Not only are there major jewelers from the mainland, many wealthy individuals from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and even Nanyang have also co.
As one of China’s five major jadeite trading markets, Tengchong has attracted countless wealthy individuals to this event.
Of course, there are also many individual custors mixed in.
Lv Zhong, Ao Ye, He Yonghe, Wang Hao, and Yu Xuanji, led by the staff of the Sanxiang Club in Tengchong, directly entered the trading hall of the Tengchong Jadeite Public Disk.
This ti, the trading hall was divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D.
Each area had hundreds of jadeite raw materials for bidding.
The total number of jadeite raw materials for bidding reached over 3,800 tags.
The trading hall is huge, and many jade and jewelry rchants have already entered.
Top tier jewelers that Lv Zhong is familiar with, like Lufu, Dasheng, and Wanfu, have also sent teams over.
In comparison, the people from the Sanxiang Club were much more low-key.
Truth be told, Lv Zhong didn’t pay much attention to the people entering the hall.
At this mont, he was captivated by the spiritual energy around him.
Not all the jadeite in the trading hall can produce spiritual energy.
Even many of the jadeite that the jewelers valued had little spiritual energy.
To a large extent, the spiritual energy here is extrely chaotic and not beneficial to absorb.
However, that’s just the general situation.
In Lv Zhong’s perception, there are three extrely special places in this trading hall, where exceptionally high-grade spiritual energy exists.
However, this high-grade spiritual energy is very discreet, and ordinary people or even ordinary cultivators may not necessarily sense it.
Lv Zhong carefully sensed it, used his spiritual sense to mark these three places, and then quietly activated his Heavenly Eye while following behind Ao Ye, Wang Hao, and He Yonghe.
Now, Lv Zhong’s Heavenly Eye has four functions: X-ray, microscopic, observing Yin and Yang, and viewing Destiny.
With the X-ray ability, Lv Zhong can easily see through the jadeite raw materials.
The microscopic ability can magnify the microscopic world, and when combined with the X-ray ability, it can almost 100% discover the pros and cons of jadeite or treasures.
In a brief mont, every piece of jadeite Lv Zhong passed was seen through by him.
The powerful spiritual sense and mory of a cultivator allowed Lv Zhong to rember the location of any piece of jadeite.
“Mr.
He, you and Ao Ye take a look first, I’ll just wander around…” After finishing the inspection of the jadeite raw materials in Area A, Lv Zhong said to He Yonghe and Ao Ye, then wandered off alone.
Knowing that Lv Zhong is the impressive figure that has a reputation among the eight great martial families, Wang Hao didn’t dare to bother Lv Zhong.
As for He Yonghe, he was a true jade fanatic and was concentrating on identifying jadeite at the mont, naturally not caring about Lv Zhong.
Ao Ye paid even less attention.
Without being slowed down by He Yonghe and others, Lv Zhong was able to inspect the jadeite at an extre speed.
In just forty minutes, he finished inspecting the jadeite in Areas B, C, and D.
Lv Zhong calculated that the quality of the jadeite in this public disk was pretty good, with a chance of over 50% to yield green jadeite.
However, yielding green doesn’t necessarily an yielding Jadeite!
Overall, with these more than 3,800 tags, not many of them would significantly increase in value.
Moreover, the increase depends on how many people are bidding with you.
In the case of open bids, it all cos down to who has more capital.
As for a blind bid, it mostly depends on the bidder’s keen eye and luck.
Lv Zhong is not worried about blind bids.
Regardless of how many people participate in the bidding, none can escape the surveillance of his spiritual sense.
For open bids, Lv Zhong worries about the three jadeite raw materials with strong spiritual energy that he’s interested in.
If the bid price is too high, he may not have enough money.
“Whatever, if anyone takes a liking to what’s mine, then they can’t bla for being ruthless!”
Lv Zhong sneered, left the last exhibition hall, and prepared to et up with Ao Ye.
“Oh, Mr.
Lv…
I didn’t expect to see you in Tengchong.”
As Lv Zhong was rushing to Zone A, a voice full of surprise ca from the side.
It was Du Wenlong who looked extrely delighted.
Beside him, the Miao Girl, Miao Zhu, and five burly bodyguards stood guard close to him.
Lv Zhong’s attention had been on the jade stones previously, and he took a little break just now, paying no heed to familiar faces around him.
Lv Zhong acknowledged Du Wenlong with a nod and a smile, saying, “So it’s President Du.
I’m here to have fun with friends.”
“Mr.
Lv also ca to have fun, why not join us?
It would be more lively with more people…” The Miao Girl also expressed her surprise.
For Du Wenlong and Miao Zhu, Lv Zhong was their life savior.
Without Lv Zhong’s intervention, both could not have escaped the backlash of the ‘United Hearts Gu’, and their lives would have been lost.
Furthermore, Lv Zhong almost saved them from the Japanese brothers Teng Ye Shin Inu and Teng Ye You Xiong.
In the view of Du Wenlong and Miao Zhu, Lv Zhong is soone they sincerely want to thank.
Lv Zhong did not refuse Miao Zhu’s invitation and nodded, “Okay, but I have a friend in Zone A, let’s go over together.”
“Sure!” Du Wenlong and Miao Zhu did not hesitate to follow, leaving their five robust bodyguards behind with astonished looks on their faces.
It’s important to know that Du Wenlong was the chairman of Tianhao Group, a conglorate with market value over 500 billion, and Du Wenlong’s personal net worth was over 20 billion.
A financial mammoth like this was usually very cautious about his safety, seldom acting alone.
But Du Wenlong beca visibly excited and relaxed around Lv Zhong, appearing to be an ordinary young man.
Du Wenlong had no hesitation in tagging along.
The five burly n were genuine ancient martial artists, the most skilled one possessing the cultivation level of Inner Qi Third Stage.
Among them, two had reached the Internal Qi First Stage, and two were at the peak of Dark Energy.
These bodyguards were considered extraordinarily luxurious in the mortal world.
However, to Lv Zhong, these n were no different from ordinary people.
Du Wenlong didn’t know if Lv Zhong had martial arts skills, but Miao Zhu had a hunch that even she and her five bodyguards might not be able to defeat Lv Zhong.
With a character like Lv Zhong, she naturally intended to build a bond and gain a great ally for her lover.
So, she clung to Du Wenlong’s arm nervously and followed closely behind Lv Zhong.
Led by Lv Zhong, the group quickly arrived at Zone A.
By then, He Yonghe and his companions hadn’t finished examining 100 pieces of jade stones.
“Little Zhong, you…you finished so quickly?” Seeing Lv Zhong’s appearance, Ao Ye, who was idly standing by He Yonghe’s side, exclaid in surprise.
“Of course, I’m done!” Lv Zhong shrugged and grinned, “Don’t forget who I am!”
Ao Ye then rembered that Lv Zhong was indeed a powerful cultivator.
She couldn’t help but laugh in delight, her eyes squinting into crescents, “heehee, it seems I have foresight in bringing you here.
this ti I am going to make a big…”
Before she could finish, she noticed there was a line trailing behind Lv Zhong and Ao Ye’s giggles abruptly stopped.
Maintaining her poised deanor, Ao Ye gave Du Wenlong an elegant smile, “Haha, didn’t expect President Du to be here too, this ti we may beco opponents”
That’s right, both the San Xiang Club and Du Wenlong’s Tianhao Group were top-tier powers based in Xiangnan Province.
This jade stone auction would inevitably lead to them competing against each other.
“I see Ao Ye is also here!” Du Wenlong returned the grin, then looked towards Lv Zhong and said, “However, Ms.
Ao Ye, you may have been mistaken.
This ti, we may not necessarily be opponents but could potentially beco friends.”
“Oh?” Ao Ye was taken aback, a bit confused.
To Ao Ye, since the San Xiang Club based in Star City, Xiangnan Province was also bidding for the jade stones, they would naturally beco the opponent of Tianhao Group, a jade stone giant.
But now, listening to Du Wenlong’s words, she was sowhat lost.
“Haha, Ms.
Ao Ye of the Ao Family, the San Xiang Club excels in holding premium auctions, and we at the Tianhao Group run a jewelry business, the two are not necessarily in direct competition.
Moreover, you are also a friend of Mr.
Lv, why don’t we collaborate on this jade stone trading convention and bid by zones?
This way, we can avoid direct competition while keeping other powers at bay.
What do you think?” Du Wenlong casually suggested.
Frankly, Du Wenlong did an well.
Ao Ye also understood his intention, but she was sowhat reluctant.
That was because Lv Zhong was a genuine cultivator, and none of the jade stones here could escape his eyes.
How to bid by zones would an discarding the opportunity to make a big profit.
Ao Ye is not a greedy person, but she was planning to secure a fortune for Lv Zhong, and use this huge wealth to gather more cultivation resources for him.
“Since President Du is also a friend of Little Zhong, we can indeed liaise.
But bidding by zones won’t be necessary.” Ao Ye laughed lightly, her beautiful eyes landing on Lv Zhong as though wanting to know his plans.
