Soon, the two drove to a location in the city center, parked the car, and then looked around.Finally, Su Yun's gaze settled on the signboard of a jewelry store.The store's name was quite good: "Jade Meets You.""Let's go with this store," Su Yun said. "I'll buy two pieces of jewelry as gifts."With that, the two walked into the store.The store was quite large, with all kinds of jewelry, mostly jade. There were also some jadeite pieces, but fewer."Hello, sir, how may I help you? I can provide a full explanation for you," a saleswoman immediately stepped forward when she saw a customer."Hmm, I'm buying something as a gift. Do you have any recommendations?" Su Yun asked.Su Yun didn't know much about jade, but he did understand a little.The best jade came from Hetian in Xinjiang Province. The legendary Heshi Bi was said to be made of Hetian jade.The most precious type of jade is called 'seed material,' and this store specialized in works # Nоvеlight # made from seed material. They also advertised a 'ten-fold compensation for fakes' policy, which made people feel more at ease buying things."Who are you buying the gift for, please? I can give you precise recommendations," the saleswoman asked."For elders," Su Yun replied."Alright, this way please," the saleswoman said, pleased. Customers with a clear purpose like this usually placed orders.If they weren't going to buy, they would probably just say they were "just looking.""Sir, if you're buying for an elder, for a gentleman, I recommend this 'Dragon Turtle' hand-held piece. This piece was carved by a master using first-grade white Hetian seed material, with a gold-sprinkled skin and our black oil skin. It's lifelike and very imposing, and the size is perfect for holding and playing with," the saleswoman said, pointing to an exquisite piece."We can offer this piece at a price of 400,000 yuan," the saleswoman continued.Li Hu gasped at the price. Wasn't it just a stone? Carved and it was worth so much money..."If you're buying for a lady, I recommend this bracelet made from seed material. The raw material alone for this piece cost us nearly 600,000 yuan. It's exquisitely crafted, elegant, and grand. The selling price is 750,000 yuan."Then the saleswoman took out another bracelet and said."As the saying goes, men wear Guanyin, women wear Buddha. I also highly recommend this Buddha pendant. It's also made from our high-quality seed material and is the work of a master. This one sells for 300,000 yuan..."The saleswoman recommended several items in one breath, all quite suitable for gifting."Alright, please wrap up these two Buddha pendants for me. These two will be fine," Su Yun said."Certainly, sir, I'll package them for you right away.""These two pieces together total 650,000 yuan, if you please..." The saleswoman smiled."Card," Su Yun said, pulling out a bank card.Soon, the card payment was completed, and the saleswoman quickly packaged the two items in an exquisite gift box.Su Yun bought these two items, one for his maternal uncle's family and one for his Second Aunt (Mother's Sister). The reason he didn't buy a bracelet was that his own mother wore a very expensive bracelet, and he couldn't give one to someone else that was better than his mother's."Tsk tsk tsk... Boss, you really are willing to spend money... Buying such expensive gifts for presents, you're practically the most generous person in the world..." Li Hu shook his head. He certainly wouldn't give such things as gifts.In his opinion, these were just two stones, not worth that much money."Gifting is about face. Although I'm not particularly fond of these things, as long as they give face when given, that's all that matters," Su Yun said.Li Hu nodded, half-understanding, then scanned the store, wanting to see what the most expensive item in the store was.There were several bracelets worth a million yuan, then hand-held pieces and display items worth hundreds of thousands. The items in this room were truly priceless.Looking straight ahead, Li Hu suddenly noticed an item placed in the very center: a display piece, a peach of longevity carved from a large, naturally formed jade stone!This large jade stone was incredibly white, like mutton-fat jade. Even from several meters away, one could clearly see its rich oily texture. Moreover, the base of the coil peach was a natural biyu (jasper), which was seamlessly integrated with the white mutton-fat jade!Coupled with a touch of incredibly brilliant gold-sprinkled skin at the tip of the peach, it elevated this artwork by several grades!It was no exaggeration to say that the price of this jade stone, if put up for auction, would reach an incredibly terrifying astronomical figure!Even Li Hu, who didn't understand jade, had to admit that this was an exquisite work of art!"This peach carving is really good; even I, who doesn't understand it, can see that.""I'd say the value of this item is at least five million yuan!" Li Hu weighed the price in his mind and finally gave what he considered a reasonable estimate.Su Yun also followed his gaze, wanting to see what kind of item could make Li Hu quote such a price.With just one glance, Su Yun also confirmed that it was a very expensive work of art, but five million yuan seemed a bit low. If it met someone who truly loved it, the price would probably multiply several times over!That's how it is with these things; people who love them, love them very much, but those who don't, see them as just stones.There are exceptions, though: freebies are the best. Even the most worthless item, if it's free, countless people will clamor for it... "I think five million is a bit low; I'd say at least eight million," Su Yun said jokingly. In reality, this item couldn't be bought for even several times eight million."Heh heh, some people just love to talk at length, but in reality, they don't understand anything. Yet, they love to pontificate, thinking that this will allow them to enter the world of high-class individuals. In reality, these people don't understand anything at all.""Take this jade, for example. Some lower-class people think it's just a stone, but in the eyes of us high-class people, every piece of jade is a unique work of art.""So, in this society, you can't be too serious. If you are, you'll truly have countless troubles. Sometimes, when you try to correct some things, people aren't even happy...""This is the inherent flaw of the lower class; they haven't seen the prosperity of the world, so they naturally don't recognize the value of certain things.""Take this store's treasure, the 'Biyun Pantao' (Jade Cloud Peach), for example. This is a priceless treasure, yet some people measure it with such a low price. It's truly an insult to culture and shows extremely low vision..."Unbeknownst to them, two people had walked over and said this, seemingly casually.
