Chapter 88 - Valuable Jade Part 2 (1/2)

After going through the security for the second floor, Wang Ming finally saw the second floor. Though to his disappointment, the second floor was identical to the first one, the only big difference were how many stones it's on the tables and the number of people here.

Half of the people coming to Valuable Jade don't qualify for the second floor to enter the second floor you need to have a net worth of 1 million and be willing to spend at least 100 thousand yuan.

”Big Brother, this is the second floor, don't get deceived. Even though this floor doesn't look different from the first floor, it's vastly different. All the stones in Valuable Jade, even though they don't do any trickery, have been checked by the best appraisers in China. That's how they choose which stones to put on each floor.”

But if they did this, how did they earn money? Wang Ming felt confused.

”Of course they don't put up all the stones they get for sales, they actually take most of the stones they get and sell them. But since this is stone gambling, they have to place stones that actually have jade in it on the floors as well. It's a profitable business for them, but even with the best appraisers in China to work for them there are still a lot of stones that have jade which gets overlooked. If we have luck, we can even find an imperial green jade!”

”I see, no more explanation let's find stones!”

Peng Tong had explained so much already, Wang Ming didn't want to hear anymore and just wanted to pick out some stones. But he realized he didn't actually know anything about picking out stones, though since he had told Peng Tong off, he didn't want to ask him to explain more. He would just pick on feeling.

Wang Ming walked around looking at stones, but since he didn't know what to look for, he just touched them to feel if the stone was the right one. Peng Tong also walked with him to look at the stones, but he said nothing and let Wang Ming do what he wanted.

Looking around, he realized he came unprepared as many other people in the room came with their own appraisers, to assure the highest success rate.

It took roughly 30 minutes for Wang Ming to gather seven stones he felt good about. They all have their own distinct color, but the one he felt best about was the white stone. It weighed roughly at least a few kgs if it was a jade in it then it could be worth a lot.

Peng Tong had taken off after a few minutes and had grabbed a few stones of his own, which Wang Ming feel at ease. As he didn't want to appear stupid in front of his little brother, for buying stones based on feeling.

They wouldn't cut the stones before they're done picking all the stones. Both Wang Ming and Peng Tong had used roughly 200 thousand yuan each, which was more than enough for Peng Tong. But Wang Ming still wanted more but since they had scoured the whole second floor already and not found another stone they wanted. They went to the third floor.

While they were walking up to the third floor, Peng Tong finally couldn't hold it inside anymore and whispered to Wang Ming.
