My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 44: Sky-high priced emerald



   "Your Highness, as far as I can see, King Liang didn't use this to recruit talents. His real original intention lies in the Tang Dynasty Business Daily. Your Highness, don't worry too much!" Shangguanyi finally said.

  Li Chengqian was playing with a Turkic felt hat. He didn't answer, but put the hat on his head suddenly, and asked Shangguanyi with a smile, "Sir Shangguan, do you think I look like a Turkic person?"

  Shangguanyi's expression changed slightly, and he said: "Your Highness, as the crown prince of a country, should still be dignified. You must not make such a joke. If this word reaches the emperor's ears, it will definitely anger the emperor!"

   "Hmph, it's so boring, who else would know except you are Du He!" Li Chengqian said displeased.

  The young man in the green shirt was Du He, the son of Du Ruhui, who was known as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui's son. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Du Ruhui died of illness. In order to appease Du Ruhui, Li Shimin promised to betroth his son and daughter, Princess Chengyang, to Du He, and bestowed him the title of Duke of Xiangyang, and let his eldest son Du Gou marry Duke of Lai.

   "Your Highness, Shangguan is right, be careful that the walls have ears!"

Du Ruhui's eldest son, Du Gou, is old-fashioned and has no ambitions, while his second son, Du He, has followed his father as an example since he was a child. Taking advantage of Li Shimin's opportunity to accompany him to study in the East Palace, he quickly won the trust of the prince Li Chengqian and became the first son of the East Palace. A counselor, he looks like Du Ruhui assisted Li Shimin back then.

Du He is like this, so Li Chengqian is not. He has imitated Li Shimin everywhere since he was a child. After Du He entered the East Palace, the two hit it off immediately, as if they were going to build the East Palace into the Xiaoqin Prince's Mansion back then. As his foot disease became more and more serious, he The vigilance of his younger brothers is getting higher and higher day by day, because he has been subconsciously afraid that Li Shimin will depose him because of his foot disease. After all, who would let a **** become the emperor.

   Li Chengqian didn't want to listen to Shangguanyi's words, but Li Chengqian had to listen to Du He's words. After all, he always believed that Du He was Du Ruhui next to the King of Qin, and he would definitely be able to send him to the supreme throne.

  Taking off his hat, Li Chengqian said to Du He, "Then let's go to the apse to play. This time you will play the role of the Turkic Khan, and I will play the role of the general who was killed. You can hold a funeral for me, okay?"

  Du He wholeheartedly flattered Li Chengqian, and said with a smile, "Du He obeys!"

  Shangguanyi opened his mouth to say something, but Li Chengqian had already pulled Du He towards the apse, "Hey, you can't teach Shuzi!" Shangguanyi let out a long sigh in Mingde Hall. This Du He is not assisting the prince, he is clearly leading the prince's palace into the fire pit, letting the prince do everything, and helping the tyrant.

The crown prince's trip twice has already made Li Yin more vigilant. Shangguanyi can't believe that the position of editor-in-chief has to be replaced. From the recruiters this time, Li Yin chose a person named Wang Zheng. In terms of talent, he is indeed better than It's not Shangguanyi, but it's important that this person has a clean background. He is a scholar who just came to Beijing from another place. He has no acquaintances in Chang'an City. He is a person worthy of training.

  After the matter of the newspaper here was finalized, Li Yin returned to the auction house. After so many days of preparation, it was time for the rough jadeite to reveal its true face.

"Chairman, the major media have already contacted the place, and the rough jadeite has been shipped to the international auction house in sh city. As far as I know, many people from the jewelry industry have come, and they are all waiting to watch and cut the rough jadeite. When can we start! "In the office, Yang Suxin asked Li Yin.

  After playing a game, Li Yin said: "Let's start now, by the way, you can attend instead of me. I don't want to show my face, so I can just watch as an ordinary employee below!"

   "Yes, Chairman!"

Sh City International Auction House, at this time the major media are occupying the entire auction hall, and the flashes of the camera are constantly reflected on the huge jadeite rough stone on the stage. The seats in the hall are people from the jewelry industry from all over the world, and they are sitting together at this moment They whispered to each other and pointed to the rough jadeite on the stage from time to time.

  The side door of the auction house was pushed open, Duan Changming, the chairman of the International Auction House, walked out accompanied by Yang Suxin, the lights of the media instantly shifted to the group of them, Li Yin walked behind Yang Suxin, looking like a little secret.

"Miss Yang, do you have confidence in this huge piece of rough jadeite? According to relevant experts' speculation, if all of this piece of rough jadeite is high-quality jadeite, its value is enough to reach the total transaction volume of rough jadeite in the international market! "

In the face of reporters' questions, Yang Suxin fully demonstrated the calmness of a professional manager. She said: "Gambling with stones is a gamble. You can either earn a lot of money or lose your fortune. As for whether it is worth it, we can immediately decide Got it!"

  One reporter ended his question, and another reporter asked, "Where is this rough jadeite, Ms. Yang, produced? It's so huge, how did it come here!"

   "Of course it is Myanmar, which is known as the hometown of emeralds. As for how to transport them, I don't think it needs to be said now that the transportation is so developed!" Yang Suxin made a small joke with a smile.

After answering a few more questions, Yang Suxin looked at the time and said, "Now is the time for us to witness the miracle!" After speaking, she gestured to the jade expert who had been waiting for a while in the audience. All eyes were on the huge jadeite rough stone on the stage.

On the stage, the cutting tool for the rough jadeite was ready. The master who was in charge of cutting was also a master who had been in the stone gambling industry for ten years. Holding the cutting tool, the cutting master walked around the rough stone and finally chose a piece in the middle of the rough stone. Hands on the protruding stones.

   "Zizi!" The sharp sound of the cutting machine sounded, and everyone held their breath and waited for the result.

  The master cutter supported the protruding stone with one hand, and kept his eyes on the cutting machine with the other. As the outer layer of rock was broken, a trace of crystal emerald green was revealed inside, which made him a little nervous and more careful.

   "Ziz...Ziz..." The voice of the cutting machine was heard in the whole hall, and the situation under the cutting machine was faithfully reflected on the big screen by the camera, and the fresh green color shocked everyone's eyes.

   "Crack!" A stone about one meter long and twenty centimeters wide fell down. Except for the outer two-centimeter-thick rock layer, it was full of emeralds, and what was exposed on the original stone was also tender green emeralds.

  At this moment, the cutting master was dumbfounded, the expert group was dumbfounded, the media was dumbfounded, the jeweler was dumbfounded, Yang Suxin was dumbfounded, but on the stage, Li Yin, wearing a peaked cap, smiled, and this rough jadeite was indeed genuine.

After a brief shock, the spotlights of the media flickered violently, and all the experts rushed up to check the exposed jade. Under Yang Suxin's signal, the cutting master began to cut other places, but the situation was the same, two centimeters There are beautiful jadeites under the protective layer. Finally, Li Yin signaled that Yang Suxin asked the cutting workers to cut the rough jadeite from the middle. As he guessed, this piece of rough jadeite is pure except for the outer two centimeters of stone coat. of emeralds.

  The expert group is still appraising jadeite, but the jewelers below have already started to take out their phones and report the situation here, because the auction will officially start only after the appraisal results come out.

Ten minutes later, eight gray-haired jadeite experts stood in front of the media: "After the appraisal of the expert group, it is agreed that this is a rare emerald green glass species among jadeites. It weighs 30 tons, or about 30,000 kilograms. Estimated at 12 billion euros."

   "My God!" Yang Suxin covered her mouth in surprise, and everyone present gasped. What kind of concept is this? This piece of rough stone exceeds the total annual transaction volume of rough jadeite in the world.

  Duan Changming’s hands were trembling with excitement. This time, the commission earned by their auction house could not exceed hundreds of millions. He said: “I will personally host this auction, and now I will call for the price of the first jadeite weighing 30 kilograms!”
