The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

The Qin family's detached storeroom is kept at a constant temperature and humidity, and inside are displayed precious gifts received at the banquet, such as jade, porcelain, ancient books, and calligraphy and paintings.

Qin Jianjun was playing with a piece of white jade about the size of his palm. The jade was delicate and smooth, and when a light was shone on it, there were no cotton-like inclusions inside, and the light was soft and restrained.

He turned to Lu Cheng'an beside him: "How much is this piece of Hetian jade worth? Is it suitable as a gift for a woman?"

Lu Chengan bowed slightly: "Sir, this is Xinjiang seed jade, mutton fat white jade, priced at around one million. The market price of Hetian jade is divided into three categories: white, yellow, and red. Red jade is the rarest and most expensive, followed by yellow jade, and mutton fat white jade ranks third."

"This jade is suitable as a gift for a woman with a net worth of tens of millions. However, it would be inappropriate to give it to a woman with a net worth of billions. Unless you give away all of these dozen or so kilograms of Hetian jade, sir."

Qin Jianjun nodded slightly, then put the Hetian jade back into the cabinet.

Sending Zhao Lin several kilograms of Hetian jade is clearly inappropriate.

Starting a few days ago, Zhao Lin seemed to be acting differently towards him, and he couldn't figure it out.

In the past, Zhao Lin was gentle and insightful, rarely showing negative emotions, but recently she has been silent and distant, with a faint sense of loss in her eyes.

Qin Jianjun could never fathom a woman's heart. It wasn't until last night, when the two were being affectionate and tender, that he deliberately made things difficult for Zhao Lin, leaving her with no choice but to complain and reveal her true feelings.

It turns out that Chen Jun's high-profile and grand declaration of love for his daughter Qin Nian'an on campus a few days ago had hurt Zhao Lin.

In the past, when the family was struggling financially and had to cut back on spending, Zhao Lin never complained. But things are different now. It's not that she's materialistic, but even a small gift would make her feel her husband's affection and that he still cares about her.

She even said that if this were ancient times, without her husband's favor, none of the servants would respect her.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jianjun's first reaction was that it was that brat Chen Jun again.

Then I felt a pang of guilt.

He also knew that Zhao Lin's current situation was like walking on thin ice, as no one had expected that her father was actually a hidden tycoon.

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, she is now the apparent mistress of the Qin family, and her every move is watched by other wealthy ladies.

In order not to embarrass the Qin family or himself, Zhao Lin would spend her free time learning social etiquette from the housekeepers, showing great dedication.

The second son, Qin Mao, visited Xu Qinghe's home yesterday. Zhao Lin was behind the scenes, preparing generous gifts and even choosing an auspicious date in private, preparing to discuss with his father when would be the most joyous time to get married.

In addition, she also sought out Lu Cheng'an to gradually learn some housekeeping matters.

To be a good eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, Zhao Lin was so busy that she barely had time to rest all day.

The thought of having to prepare for pregnancy with him every night, to give the Qin family a son, was unbearable.

Qin Jianjun's heart softened immediately.

Looking back on those most difficult years, Zhao Lin stayed by her side through it all.

Qin Jianjun's heart was filled with warmth.

He made up his mind that he had to make Zhao Lin feel his love for her again.

So at the dinner table, in front of the Qin family, he not only served food to Zhao Lin, but also took the initiative to ask her how she was doing, showing her all sorts of kindness, which made Zhao Lin blush with embarrassment.

Seeing his wife so happy, Qin Jianjun couldn't help but feel happy too.

Even his father looked at him with satisfaction.

That's why Qin Jianjun came to the warehouse immediately after the meal, intending to choose a suitable gift for Zhao Lin.

Clearly, this piece of Hetian jade is of low quality.

Zhao Lin is his wife, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family. How can she use such cheap things?

Other antique items such as porcelain and calligraphy are clearly not suitable to give to Zhao Lin.

So Qin Jianjun asked again, "Which types of jade are top-grade, the kind suitable to give to Grandma?"

Lu Cheng'an spoke clearly and logically.

"Jade is divided into jadeite and nephrite. Jadeite usually refers to jade, which is also the highest grade of jade."

"Nephrite is generally like Hetian jade, which is certainly valuable, but it is still very different from jadeite."

"In the jade industry, the first thing to consider is the texture and clarity, and then the color. The final value is determined by the combination of these two factors."

"The quality of the jadeite, from highest to lowest, is as follows: Dragon Stone, Glass, High Ice, Ice, Ice-Glutinous, Glutinous, and Bean. Dragon Stone is translucent and has no visible grains, representing the pinnacle of jadeite quality."

"The colors, from highest to lowest, are: Imperial Green, Emerald Green, Sun Green, Apple Green, Seedling Green, Melon Rind Green, followed by Blue-Green, Dark Green, and Gray-Green, which are low-grade mixed colors."

"The highest grade of jadeite is Dragon Stone Imperial Green, which is the best in both texture and color. Next is Glassy Imperial Green, Dragon Stone Zheng Yang Green, etc., which are also top-grade jadeite."

"If you were to give it to the eldest daughter-in-law, it would be more appropriate to make the jade into bracelets, pendants, necklaces, hair ornaments, or other items that women can use."

Qin Jianjun nodded. From Lu Chengan's words, he understood that the quality of jadeite should be judged by combining the so-called "type" and "green color".

So he then inquired, "Can I buy finished imperial green dragon stone products from reputable domestic auction houses?"

Lu Chengan shook his head. "The six pieces of imperial green dragon stone that have appeared in the last ten years have all been permanently collected by ancient families in China. Auction houses will never have them."

"Then we'll contact the cargo owner privately and buy it at a 30% premium," Qin Jianjun said calmly.

"Sir, the ancient aristocratic families won't sell," Lu Cheng'an replied. Those ancient aristocratic families look down on the current Qin family, so how could they possibly sell?

Qin Jianjun frowned deeply: "Aren't there any other channels?"

He wanted to give Zhao Lin the best jade. Following his father's teachings, if he was going to buy something, he should buy the most expensive one.

"Furthermore, the high-end jadeite on the market all comes from the rough stone mines in northern Myanmar. There is a chance that the existing uncut dragon stone rough stones can be cut from the materials there. However, rough stones are extremely risky, and novices lose nine out of ten times when gambling on stones." Lu Cheng'an paused for a moment.

There's a saying in the jade gambling world: "One cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich."

Before the material is cut open, no one knows whether it will be profitable or not.

Gambling on stones is similar to opening a durian; before you open it, you never know whether the durian is there to repay a debt of gratitude or to seek revenge.

You never know whether the next moment will bring a surprise or a shock.

For those who yearn to get rich overnight, gambling on jade is always their first choice, but many people end up losing their fortunes and their families broken apart because of it.

Qin Jianjun smiled helplessly. He didn't know how to judge stones either. Wouldn't that mean he was going to gamble on stones and lose a lot of money?

But the Qin family seems to be very wealthy, so it's not impossible for them to have some fun.

He decided to find Qin Zheng and tell his father about his idea of ​​finding the Dragon Origin Imperial Green Jade.

After understanding his boss's intention, Qin Zheng took a sip of the Imperial Dragon Well tea and casually said:

"If you want that dragon stone jadeite, go ahead and open it. The Qin family has plenty of money. You can buy up every stone on the market and open them one by one, and I'll support you."
