"How many?"

Xu Zhiyi was stunned.

After looking around for so long, I've finally found a reasonable price.

"68—we can discuss it further if you think it's too expensive." Zhang Zhongtian said, while keeping an eye on Xu Zhiyi's expression. "How about 65 yuan per gram? That's the lowest I can go."

Don't let its lack of fame or sight fool you; it's a huge thing right here!

Ordinary wild meteorites aren't this big!

Wild meteorite?

Upon hearing these words, Xu Zhiyi immediately realized that she had been in a misunderstanding all along.

The price of meteorites on the market mainly depends on several factors, including variety, condition, origin, and weight. Simply put, meteorites with a name, certificate, and attractive appearance can fetch a high price!

These meteorites, which have official international names and eyewitness records, can easily cost hundreds of yuan per gram, and some museum-quality treasures can even cost tens of thousands of yuan per gram.

Conversely, meteorites without names, origins, or certificates are just ordinary "lumps of iron," and even if they are genuine meteorites, their prices will be extremely low.

It's common for a gram to cost tens of yuan.

But what do these market standards for measuring meteorite prices have to do with him?

He wasn't collecting them or reselling them; he just needed to make sure they were iron meteorites!

As for that naming thing and that certificate—

Those things are worthless to him!

He looked up at Zhang Zhongtian and asked earnestly, "Which piece of iron is the cheapest you've had these days? What price can you offer me?"

"This one is the cheapest." Zhang Zhongtian pointed to a fist-sized stone next to him. "This one is in very good condition. I won't take more than this one. Let's just say it's 58 yuan per gram."

Xu Zhiyi reached out and picked up the iron meteorite.

You have obtained 1 Black Iron Block

"Is there anything cheaper?"

"That's really all—this is meteorite railroad, not man-made!"

"Then let's make it a little cheaper."

"Fixed price, 56!" Zhang Zhongtian said decisively. "I really can't lower the price any further. I always buy them for fifty yuan a month, so I have to make a little profit, right?"

"Okay, then see how heavy this is."

Zhang Zhongtian's eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed an electronic scale to weigh it.

"This piece weighs 1828 grams!" He took out a calculator and pressed a few keys. "One gram is 56, so 1828 grams multiplied by 56 is 100,080!"

I'll round it down to ten thousand, that'll do.

After quoting the price, he looked at Xu Zhiyi expectantly.

Xu Zhiyi remained silent for two seconds.

He knew that iron meteorites were not cheap, but he didn't expect that a random piece he picked would cost 100,000 yuan.

However, this piece weighs nearly two kilograms!

That should be enough to smelt a block of black iron about the same size as a silver ingot!

"Can you make it any cheaper?"

"Young man, this is already a rock-bottom price! Go check out the other booths, they all start at several hundred yuan. I really can't go any lower."

"How about you cut a piece for me?" Xu Zhiyi said honestly, "I don't have that much cash, I only have 60,000 on hand."

The smile on Zhang Zhongtian's face froze instantly.

"Young man, don't joke around. You don't sell meteorite cut in half, do you? If you really want it, I can hold onto this piece for you for now. The exhibition still has one more day tomorrow—you'll have to think of something else."

"OK."

Xu Zhiyi nodded, took his business card, and left the booth.

As long as I have his contact number, I can buy it from him again when I've saved up enough money.

Xu Zhiyi saved the number and was about to wander around to see if there were any cheaper iron meteorites when someone called his name from behind after he had only taken a few dozen steps.

"Xu Zhiyi?"

The sound was pleasant and somewhat familiar.

He turned around and immediately spotted Jiang Shangge in the crowd.

She wore a dark green, modern Chinese-style long dress with a stand-up collar and knotted buttons. The skirt reached her ankles, and the fine silk satin fabric made her already fair skin look even more radiant.

Her long, smooth, black hair was pulled up, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone. Two lustrous pearls dangled from her earlobes, making her look as if she had stepped out of a painting.

"It really is you."

Jiang Shangge smiled and walked towards him.

"What are you doing here? Don't you have extra classes today?"

"The mandatory tutoring system is long gone; now weekend tutoring is voluntary," Xu Zhiyi replied casually, then asked, "And you, what are you doing here?"

"Me—"

Just as Jiang Shangge was about to speak, a middle-aged woman in business attire suddenly approached her, her face showing some anxiety and dissatisfaction, and said, "Didn't I tell you not to wander around? The media wants to take pictures, you need to go over there quickly."

"Weren't we supposed to meet at ten o'clock?" Jiang Shangge frowned slightly. "It's only a little past nine now, isn't it?"

"It's been moved up. The media outlets have a lot of filming to do today, so time is tight. Please understand." The middle-aged woman said, glancing at Xu Zhiyi with a hint of wariness in her eyes. "This is...?"

"My classmate."

Jiang Shangge said calmly, "Sister Zhou, you go ahead first. I'll just say a few words to him and then I'll be right back."

"Okay, then hurry up, don't keep them waiting."

After saying that, Sister Zhou turned and left.

Jiang Shangge looked at Xu Zhiyi and smiled helplessly.

"As you can see, I'm here to work."

"model?"

"Yes, it's my booth." Jiang Shangge paused, then pointed to the jade and gemstone area dozens of meters away, "It's over there, called Tianhe Jewelry. Have you heard of it?"

Xu Zhiyi nodded.

Tianhe Jewelry is a long-established local brand in Wuxi, mainly engaged in the retail and wholesale of jade and gemstone jewelry. It has more than a dozen stores and is quite famous in the local area and surrounding cities.

"So Tianhe is owned by your family?"

"My grandfather founded it, and it's been over forty years now. But business hasn't been good this year, and we can't afford to hire celebrities to endorse it, so we had to ask our own daughter to come and save the day."

Jiang Shangge said with a hint of self-deprecation.

After saying that, she shook her head again.

"Never mind that. What brings you to the exhibition today?"

"I heard there were iron meteorites around here, so I came to take a look."

"Iron meteorites? Those are relatively niche collectibles; not many people collect them." Jiang Shangge looked at him with some surprise. "When did you start collecting these?"

"I'm just interested in this, so I came here to take a look."

Jiang Shangge nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Just then, a commotion arose from not far away.

Xu Zhiyi looked in the direction of the sound and saw several middle-aged people standing in the Tianhe Jewelry exhibition area, shaking their heads and sighing, pointing at the exhibits.

"Your Tianhe's materials this year are no good. I've looked at several display cases, and all I see are pieces with poor texture and low translucency. They either lack luster or have too many impurities. You might as well sell these yourself; how dare you bring them to an exhibition?"

"That's right. If all the materials this year are like this, then I won't be able to get my goods from you."

"The water quality is indeed a bit lacking—where's Boss Jiang? Didn't he go to Myanmar this year?"

Behind the booth, Sister Zhou, whom I had just met, looked unpleasant and was explaining something in a low voice.

Jiang Shangge also heard the commotion and frowned.

"What's going on over there?" Xu Zhiyi asked curiously.

Jiang Shangge hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "My dad gambled on a few stones in Myanmar this year, but the materials that came out weren't very good, and he lost a lot of money."

We're currently short on funds and can't afford to buy new materials, so we have to use this batch of slightly lower-quality materials as a temporary solution.

Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore.

I'm going ahead now, you can take your time browsing.

By the way, you can come to my place for lunch. I have lunch for you. There aren't many places to eat around the convention center. There are only a few restaurants, and they're always crowded, expensive, and you have to wait in line for half an hour. Plus, the food is terrible!

It's settled then.

After saying that, she didn't wait for Xu Zhiyi's reply, but instead lifted her skirt and turned to walk towards her own booth.

Xu Zhiyi watched her figure disappear into the crowd.

An idea suddenly came to him.

A money-making idea!

Jade gambling!

He's someone who can recognize everything!

There's nothing he can't recognize if he touches it!

If you go to gamble on jade, isn't it guaranteed to win?
