Chapter 267 The Stone That Makes People Crazy
Chapter 267 The Stone That Makes People Crazy
Listen to the detective in charge of investigating and collecting evidence.
Fan Wumian sighed deeply.
I just want the answer to the mystery to be revealed in advance, so it will be difficult to hide it anymore.
A few days ago, after asking the boss of Eastern Gold to help look at this rough stone, the other party immediately quoted a purchase price of 1 million yuan.
He has determined that this rough stone is a rare treasure.
Over the past few days, I have thought about cutting it open more than once.
In order to promote the "Golden Eyes" film project, make more money from the box office, and create a nationwide publicity effect for free, I forced myself to suppress my strong curiosity.
I originally thought.
A stone weighing more than one ton is difficult to be stolen quietly by others.
Unexpectedly, some people still had bad intentions and only wanted to pry away a small part of it, which was impossible to guard against.
I took a look at this watermelon-sized piece. The skin was relatively thin, and inside was full of high-green and high-quality jadeite. When I shone the flashlight on it, it was so green that it was dazzling.
Fan Wumian finally understood why that group of Southeast Asians were willing to take out their weapons and go against the police officers who were surrounding them in order to take it away, turning a minor crime into a major one.
Just counting the piece that was pried off, if it were sold as raw material on the market, it would be worth at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Depending on the size, it can be made into many full-green bracelets, and there are almost no cracks.
As long as they can successfully take it away and sell it, it will be enough for those three petty thieves to live a life of luxury for the rest of their lives. Of course, they are willing to take the risk and give it a try.
The security company took the money and was worried about being held accountable later.
A person in charge hurriedly explained to Fan Wumian, played the surveillance video on his laptop, and said:
"Master Fan, in fact, before your servant called the police, we had already contacted the police and sent people to the scene, so we were able to stop them in time. Fortunately, no damage was caused. We have just handed the video to the police. Recently, we will arrange more people to patrol the area."
Fan Wumian's mind was not on this matter, so he waved his hand and said to Assistant Pu Jiajing:
"Quickly call Master Li Mingfo. If someone says that my Feng Shui is ruined and makes others think that I am about to have bad luck, then it would be a disaster without cause, and I can't wash it off even if I jump into the Yellow River."
The whole process is very simple.
They were nothing more than three petty thieves from Southeast Asia who sneaked into the yard disguised as gardeners, and used the noise of a lawn mower as cover to hammer nails into the jadeite raw stone.
The principle is similar to mining marble.
The original piece of stone was very solid, but after a row of nails were driven into it, its structure was destroyed and a piece the size of a watermelon was cracked into it.
I guess those petty thieves didn't expect the quality to be so high.
He originally just wanted to make a little money, but when faced with such huge wealth, he lost his head for a moment and even dared to resist after being blocked in the yard.
This is equivalent to forcibly opening a window in the original stone. It is green inside and the material is similar to glass. When you shine a flashlight on it at night, a large area will be lit up.
Even an outsider could see that Fan Wumian had made a fortune again this time.
Zuo Ziyan's cousin Wei Linyuan came to his house for the first time. She was so excited that she said excitedly:
"Such a big piece of jade! How much can it be worth? My mother-in-law bought a pair of bracelets last year and spent 280 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Zuo Ziyan was also very happy.
She was more business-minded. Seeing the police officers busy taking photos, she quickly urged Fan Wumian and said:
"I guess these photos will soon be in the hands of reporters. Instead of letting others sell them for money, it's better to let a few reporters in. Even if I don't charge any money, I can still earn some small favors."
Upon hearing this, Wei Linyuan was the first to ask, "If we sell these photos, will they be worth a lot?"
Fan Wumian explained:
"If it was exclusive information, I could easily sell it for 20 Hong Kong dollars. Now that everyone knows that my house was robbed, it will definitely not be a problem to make or yuan just by selling the photos."
"I'm so angry that I want to vomit blood. It feels like there are tens of millions of dollars on the gambling table, and just when you are about to gamble, the spectators just flip open the cards."
"Although I won the bet, it lacked a sense of surprise. I originally wanted to wait until we were filming the movie and then cut it open on the spot."
Wei Linyuan turned her head to look at him and muttered:
"Why didn't I realize before that you're such a jerk? Wouldn't it be good to make money by increasing the value? How about I help you to act as a matchmaker and you sell me a small piece of raw material so that I can design a set of jewelry?"
".Come on, I'm not deaf, what do you mean by matchmaking for him?"
Zuo Ziyan stood outside the cordon and added, "Cousin, why do you like jade? I remember you had a blue diamond necklace."
"Because it's interesting. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I feel that jade and emerald are similar and look very comfortable."
After listening to Wei Linyuan, Fan Wumian smiled and said:
"You lent me the yacht today, and I'll give you one when the time comes. If I hadn't had your help last year, my album release and debut process might not have been so smooth."
Wei Linyuan shook her head and said:
"It doesn't matter. I'll just use my husband's card to save him from having too much money and living a life of luxury like others."
"."
I asked assistant Pu Jiajing to help arrange it, and selected a few more powerful media outlets to come to the yard to take pictures.
The inspector held up a small piece of jade that had been pried open and showed it to the reporters under a light. While he reprimanded the petty thief for daring to hurt his colleague, he also mentioned that the amount involved in this theft was very high.
soon.
An expert came to the scene and looked at the raw stone again and again.
He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Finally, he told me that this piece of raw stone has changed from pure Mongolian material to semi-gambling material, and its market value is at least 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
Feng Shui master Li Mingfo arrived quickly. He got off the car at the gate of the mansion, accepted the interview first, and then came to the backyard.
It didn't take long.
Master Li Mingfo came to the door again and introduced that fortunately the location had not been moved. He had used cinnabar to paint a "sky eye" on the original stone. He also mentioned that it had indeed been effective after being nurtured with dragon veins for a few days, and the value had increased by 100 to 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
The reporters were in an uproar.
now.
A reporter from a tabloid asked: "Is everything OK after opening the third eye? Will it have an impact on Feng Shui?"
Master Li Mingfo suddenly had an idea and said nonsense:
"This is just a temporary remedy. It's like a real dragon breaking out of its shell before it's even born. It's bound to anger the dragon fetus, causing confusion in the surrounding dragon energy."
"Look at the sky. Last night there was a moon and few stars, but now it is covered with dark clouds."
"I plan to use the jadeite that was almost stolen to polish it into a few dragon beads and bring them to Yanjing to appease the dragon veins of the four dynasties. This way, there will be no problem and there will be a chance to turn a disaster into a blessing."
Hiding behind the courtyard wall.
After listening to Li Mingfo's loud words, Fan Wumian smacked his lips and whispered:
"With a brain like that, he deserves to be famous. It's a pity that he didn't become a screenwriter. If Uncle Ying were still alive, with his ability to write stories, the box office would be at least 1 million, which is more exciting than the scripts I wrote."
Zuo Ziyan smiled and said:
"You came at the right time tonight. I almost missed such a lively event. Remember to leave a small piece for me after you finish making the dragon ball. I also want to customize some jewelry, such as pendants, earrings, etc."
Fan Wumian said cheerfully:
"We are so close, there is no need to pay, just pay with your body."
After hearing this, Zuo Ziyan smiled even more happily and immediately replied:
"Okay, let's do it today. I can let my cousin go home first."
It took a while to take photos and identify them.
After the police finished their work, the reporters also quickly dispersed and went back to their companies to write articles and publish news.
The people from the security company suggested that Fan Wumian send the jadeite raw stones to a bank vault for storage.
A large rock is worth as much as a mansion in Repulse Bay. Once the news spreads, it will probably attract more people. It will really become a "rock that drives people crazy."
However, Fan Wumian rejected the security company's proposal and only asked for more personnel to be sent to keep a close watch 24 hours a day.
Using it as a gimmick, the profits that can be earned from making a movie are much higher than the security expenses.
How could Fan Wumian not figure out this account?
No need to wait until tomorrow.
That night, TV subtitles, radio stations and online news broke the news that Fan Wumian’s jadeite rough stone had been pried open and its value had increased by more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
So much so that the top management of Zhou Dafu Jewelry Company could not sit still after hearing the news, and took the initiative to propose to arrange for experts to come for appraisal tomorrow and discuss the purchase.
Fan Wumian used Feng Shui and filming as excuses and agreed to let experts help determine its value, but declined the proposal to sell it.
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Zuo Ziyan took the bus home with satisfaction.
the next day.
Several senior executives of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company came to visit early in the morning. After a careful inspection, several old masters gave a price of 2 million Hong Kong dollars.
Fan Wumian still chose to decline, saying that he would wait until the film was finished and cut it, and then he would discuss it.
------------
Although his house was robbed, Fan Wumian made a huge profit of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
This piece of news caused a sensation throughout Asia, and even a few European and American newspapers followed suit and mentioned the incident.
The outside world was full of rumors, and countless people talked about it with relish, lamenting that his luck was really incredible.
From the streets to companies to schools, countless people are discussing it.
Naturally.
The news about "Dragon Vein Stone Nurturing" was mentioned by more and more people.
Master Li Mingfo became an overnight sensation and received invitations from several wealthy businessmen.
Fan Wumian was not idle either.
A jade carving master contacted him and offered to help him design the dragon ball.
The boss of Eastern Gemstone, a listed company, once again proposed to buy the rough stone, intending to cut it himself and monopolize the high-end jade market.
With the addition of reporters, banks, and other jewelry companies, Fan Wumian spent the entire morning dealing with related trivial matters, and even went to the police station to sign near noon.
If you ask who feels the most uncomfortable, it is obviously the mine owners who dug out this raw stone.
Soe Win, the mine owner who had been in contact with Fan Wumian some time ago, called Fan Wumian from the Lao Myanmar mining area to ask if the news was true.
Although he spoke slowly, there was a hint of sourness in his tone, as if the $260 million he had received suddenly didn't smell so good.
Before, it was just a valuation, and the boss of Eastern Gold Jade was just testing the waters and asking for the price.
Now Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company is willing to pay 2 million Hong Kong dollars in cash for it. The value of this raw stone has really skyrocketed.
Before the A-share market closes in the afternoon.
Fan Wumian even made a special phone call to the brokerage firm and learned that the stock price of Eastern Jinyu, a company that went public through backdoor listing, had hit the daily limit again today, earning him nearly 400 million RMB.
