Chapter 748 Treated as a decoration (2/2)

Currently, the lowest price for a raw stone was below the hundreds while raw stones with a higher probability of containing a jade could go for up to hundreds of thousands, millions, or even over a hundred million. Once the gamble was lost, one could lose an entire family fortune. Of course, if one won, the returns would be at least a hundredfold and one would become rich overnight.

The precious stone industry was one of the areas the Si Corporation dealt with, with the jade business making up a huge portion.

In the jade business, the most crucial part was the purchase of raw stones.

For example, not long ago, a competitor of the Si family in the precious stone industry acquired a piece of top-quality, glass type of jade through gambling in precious stones. It was invaluable and they shot to fame very quickly, attracting many first-rate clients.

Seeing that Ye Wanwan was looking around, a hint of disdain flashed in Xue Li's eyes. ”Miss Ye, you don't have to look at all these little shops here - many of them are counterfeit. They make fake outer layers and stick a piece of glass inside then paint it over, pretending that the rocks are weathered. Not to mention their inferior quality... you don't know anything about this industry at all; you'll be cheated easily!”

With Xue Li leading the way, the group of people arrived at the largest jade trade store in H city - Hui Cui Workshop.

At the spacious and well-lit hall downstairs, the shelves were stocked with stones of all sizes and many people were holding magnifying glasses and flashlights while examining the stones carefully.

The moment Ye Wanwan and the others entered, a sharp-eyed shop assistant stepped forward immediately and welcomed them enthusiastically.

”Oh, Mr. Xue, you're here! Quick, come in!”

Xue Li and Qin Ruo Xi had been to the store multiple times before, and the shop assistant recognized him instantly. He knew Xue Li was working for the top management of Si Corporation in country Z, so he was obviously very attentive towards him.

Seeing that Xue Li had a very beautiful lady with him this time, the shop assistant couldn't help but stare for a bit. Of course, he didn't want to be nosy and ask about her.
