Chapter 364 - 247: All Treasures, But Can’t Find the Cause?
After that,
amidst Yun Ruochu’s angry dissatisfaction, the two of them arrived at her private vault in Beijing.
Before entering, they went through several security scans, then opened the vault door which was close to two tons in weight.
"Wow, it’s pretty lavish here."
As soon as he stepped inside, Qin Feng remarked, quite astonished.
If not for the scene outside, the view before them could indeed be called a museum.
Just within his sight, hundreds of jade pieces of various sizes and colors were placed along the sides and in the center of the entire hall, as if they were entering a world of jadeite.
From the emerald and vibrant supreme-grade green jade to the pitch-black solid black jade, as well as eye-catching violet, tricolor, yellow jade, and so on.
There were even several giant raw jade stones, several meters tall at the end of the hall, each worth a fortune!
"Take a look, but don’t get any ideas!
I’ve painstakingly saved these over the past ten years, almost went broke."
Yun Ruochu said somewhat grudgingly.
"You’re poor?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng almost burst out laughing,
"These things together must be worth at least tens of billions!"
"Your things are here, already prepared."
After glancing around, Yun Ruochu waved at him to follow her to a corner.
Truth be told, these items were highly appealing to Qin Feng as well, they were just too beautiful!
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get one to gift to Liu Yan’Er.
Then, Yun Ruochu stopped in front of a wall, pressed a few buttons on a keypad, and the retinal scanner verified her identity.
Buzzz~
An electrical sound echoed, and a nearly invisible door indistinguishable from the wall slowly opened.
They walked into the room and turned on the light.
The room wasn’t large, but from top to bottom, it was filled with small compartments separated by tempered glass.
Inside the compartments, there were various sizes of completely peeled jades, mostly palm-sized, which looked somewhat insignificant compared to the giant ones outside.
But with one’s eyes open, they could easily see the difference here, whether in terms of type, color, base, they were on a whole different level.
There were even some pieces nearly the color of glass with superb glass bases!
"Wow, all the good stuff is here."
Qin Feng couldn’t help but gasp in admiration.
"Seeing your expression makes me want to back out, how about I give you money instead?"
Seeing this, Yun Ruochu’s eyes also showed a pained look, reluctantly saying.
"No! I don’t need money, and it’s just two pieces, you have so many."
Qin Feng quickly raised his hand to stop her, how could he let such an opportunity slip by?
Yun Ruochu: ==...
"Aren’t you going to give one to your girlfriend and mother-in-law? I specially picked these two for you."
Saying so, she opened two compartments and took out the jade pieces,
"This is a premium emerald, the best for bracelets and pendants, and the leftover bits can be made into accessories and cabochons.
This piece is a glass jade with floating patterns, perfect for your girlfriend’s temperament, best for young people to wear."
"How much are these worth?"
Qin Feng looked at the two pieces of jade, glowing uniquely under the light.
Especially the glass piece, with its green swirling patterns inside like a lotus flower yet to bloom, incredibly vivid.
You could say it’s a rare find!
"This emerald is about three kilograms, and the current market price is roughly 8 million per kilogram.
This piece of glass jade was something I initially planned to make into a bracelet for myself; such premium floating patterns jade I’ve only discovered three pieces of in ten years while mining.
The market price wouldn’t be less than 12 million per kilogram, it’s 2.8 kilograms, you do the math."
As Yun Ruochu spoke, she became increasingly bitter,
"And these are just the raw stones, the price of the finished product would be several times more!"
Honestly, she felt like crying.
But these two pieces were something she deliberated over for a long time before deciding to pick them for him.
After all, Qin Feng helped her treat lupus, and there’s even a possibility of a complete cure, so she was grateful.
So, she decided to give him a piece from her treasured jade collection.
"They are indeed quite expensive."
Qin Feng nodded, somewhat tongue-tied.
The price is indeed staggering, with the two stones worth over 50 million!
He wasn’t deeply versed in jade, but he had some basic knowledge that if the two jades went up for auction, the price wouldn’t just double.
After all, there are many wealthy people in this world, and the production of high-quality jade is gradually decreasing worldwide.
That’s why many people like to play with these things, importantly, they appreciate in value.
"This time, I’ve truly emptied my pockets, if you can’t cure me, I’ll have someone drag you to the mines!
Hmph!"
Yun Ruochu said indignantly, lifting her head.
"Don’t worry, my goal is to cure not just you, but many more like you."
Qin Feng withdrew his gaze, looking at her with a smile.
Hearing this, Yun Ruochu looked at his handsome and confident face, momentarily lost for words.
"So, you’re using me as a guinea pig?"
"Sort of, hahaha, don’t you think saving millions of lives is more valuable than these stones?"
"You’re so noble."
After saying that, Yun Ruochu rolled her eyes in feigned annoyance, placing the two stones back in the safe.
After closing the door,
the two went to the design center, constantly drafting, selecting, and eliminating until they finalized the designs for the two jades by afternoon.
Qin Feng chose a pair of bracelets for Liu Yan’Er, one with floating lotus patterns and the other with variegated colors, the most expensive being the glass lotus jade bracelet.
The remaining fragments were made into a complete set of accessories, including earrings, studs, rings, hairpins, necklaces, and bracelets.
