Chapter 7, The Shaking Stereogram
Brother, this is material from the old factory of Mo Wanjiji, it has some cracks, but they are very few, and the chance of producing high-quality emeralds is quite high
Before long, Li Yang, Zhang Ying, and Wu Xiaoli began to busy themselves, introducing their company's products to the arriving customers. By the end of the exhibition that day, all three were exhausted; however, their efforts proved to be quite valuable, as they secured a considerable number of orders within just one day
Li Yang smiled; he came to verify whether that strange occurrence would happen again. However, if he discovered good jade, he would certainly gamble once more, as no one has extra money to spare
By the time the three arrived at the exhibition center, many company representatives were already inside. Outside the exhibition center, numerous armored vehicles from various banks were parked, all transporting jewelry. It is no exaggeration to say that today, there are at least tens of billions worth of jewelry present inside the exhibition center
Li Yang shook his head in disappointment and stood up. The seller, seeing that Li Yang was not paying attention to him, felt no displeasure. It was quite normal for Li Yang to have no interest in this stone. The seller could only claim that his item was good. If this stone truly had a high probability of yielding valuable jade, it would have likely been purchased long ago.
However, this three-dimensional image is not the same as the one that appeared yesterday. This three-dimensional image is very blurry, and not all of it is visible; only a small part in the center can be seen, while the surrounding area is completely dark. Moreover, the image is still shaking violently in my mind.
Zhao Lei, who was driving, suddenly turned around with a smile to glance at Li Yang, then turned back to Zhang Ying and said, "Old Zhang, you are quite fortunate; you just arrived and have already overshadowed us all, getting a moment in the spotlight!"
After the verification of the receipt, Zhang Ying signed, and the bank's work was considered complete. After the exhibition concludes, these banks will return to take their jewelry. During this period, all security work for the jewelry is the responsibility of the exhibition organizers
At the entrance of the bank, Zhao Lei was waiting with Brother Liang and Sister Sun for them. Wu Xiaoli, disregarding Zhao Lei's attempts to persuade her, left the exhibition center first, citing discomfort as her reason. Fortunately, she had booked a hotel room in advance during her time in Mingyang, so she had a place to go.
After a busy day, Li Yang had no time to go to the exhibition center to conduct experiments with the gambling stones. He could only return to the hotel with his weary body, waiting for the opportunity to experiment when the exhibition commenced.
There was one more thing that Li Yang did not anticipate: many customers were aware of his successful gamble on the stone yesterday, and some even directly expressed their desire to purchase that piece of jade. After learning that the jade had already been sent to the headquarters for processing, some customers requested that a portion of the jewelry made from that jade be reserved for them, which clearly indicates the tension in the high-end jade market
Gazing at this piece of gambling stone, Li Yang lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He was already certain that his special ability had a certain relationship with the gambling stone. Even if it was not exclusively triggered by the stone, it was not far off. He just did not understand why the image he saw today was so much more blurred than yesterday, and it was also swaying and dizzying.
Xiao Liang is correct; now, none of our peers at the exhibition center are unaware of the name of our Anshi Jewelry's Xiao Li
After finishing the conversation with Wang Jiajia and going offline, Li Yang began to carefully recall the bizarre scene from today. Previously, Li Yang had never discovered any special abilities within himself.
As soon as the two individuals emerged, they were pulled by Zhao Lei and others into a business vehicle, which bore the name of Anshi Jewelry and was assigned to their Qingdao branch.
May I take a look first
Furthermore, what is the situation regarding those invisible elements on hetushu.com?
It is unclear whether it is due to her busyness or the events of yesterday, but Wu Xiaoli did not exhibit any behavior towards Li Yang today. Of course, she would not show him any goodwill, which was just fine for Li Yang, as he was more than happy to be free from her annoyances.
Zhao Lei drove directly to the famous snack base, Pichaiyuan, in Qingdao. While in the car, Li Yang exclaimed that he would treat everyone tonight; however, in the end, it was still Zhao Lei who picked up the bill. In Zhao Lei's words, once they arrived in Qingdao, they were the hosts. Li Yang believed that winning the bet was just his luck, and asking the guests to pay would make them seem stingy.
Li Yang lowered his head in thought, and the seller did not rush him. Instead, he began to introduce his materials to several other people. Thanks to Li Yang's speculation on the price increase yesterday, today's exhibition allowed him to sell quite a bit of merchandise. Unfortunately, there were not many people present to cut the stones, and there was not a single piece that surged in value like the one from yesterday.
On the third day, after a day of absence, Wu Xiaoli finally appeared before Li Yang, her face still bearing a cold expression.
Assistant Li, you are truly lucky today. The news of your successful stone gambling has spread throughout the exhibition center. Our Anshi Jewelry has certainly made a significant impression this time!" On the car, Brother Liang said enviously to Li Yang.
The jewelry from Li Yang's company was also at the bank. As soon as Zhang Ying arrived, a bank staff member approached to inquire. After confirming his identity, several fully armed individuals unloaded an exquisite large white box from an armored truck. Inside was the jewelry that their branch was to showcase today.
The seller squinted his eyes with a smile, as several people were already walking towards him. Li Yang here is like a living advertisement; many people believe that Li Yang is a person of good fortune. Those who enjoy gambling on stones and are fond of books believe in luck, thinking that being with someone who has good fortune can also bring them good luck.
Zhao Lei is not wrong; today, the Anyi Jewelry Mingyang branch indeed gained significant recognition. After the surge in Li Yang's gambling stones, many executives stayed behind to study the seller's gambling stones. A small portion of the stones was purchased on the spot, including more than a dozen that were also resolved on site.
Seeing Li Yang continuously observing this gambling stone, the seller hurriedly stepped forward to introduce it. Originally, several people who had come to watch Li Yang also shook their heads. This piece of raw gambling material is indeed from the old factory of Mo Wanjiji, but the skin is too rough, and the water quality performance is also very poor, indicating a low gambling potential. Many people have already viewed this raw material in the past few days, but no one has expressed optimism about it.
Because there was still a lot of work to be done the next day, although they ate a lot in the evening, they did not drink much alcohol. When they returned to the hotel and saw that it was still early, Li Yang used the hotel computer to go online. Seeing Wang Jiajia online, he excitedly started chatting with her about the stone gambling from today. Of course, he did not mention the strange three-dimensional image that appeared in his mind to Wang Jiajia, as it was something Li Yang himself could not explain. His instinct told him that it was better to keep it a secret, no matter to whom.
Li Yang crouched down to examine a piece of raw material over thirty centimeters tall, weighing as much as seventy kilograms. It had a black sandy skin, and Li Yang could not discern any significant difference between it and ordinary stones
However, no more ice-type jadeite appeared in the stones that were opened later. Aside from a slight increase in the value of the stones purchased by two individuals, all the other opened stones were deemed unsuccessful. In comparison, Li Yang's opened piece of high ice-type Huangyang green became even more prominent, to the extent that the exhibition command center was aware of this matter.
Yesterday, the news about Li Yang's successful gamble on stone betting indeed spread throughout the exhibition center. Sitting at the exhibition and book table, Li Yang felt as though many unfamiliar gazes were fixed upon him, making him quite uncomfortable
Li Yang and his team began to arrange the jewelry for this exhibition according to their original plan. The diamond necklace named "Crystal Flower" was personally placed by Zhang Ying in the most prominent position. After all the jewelry was arranged, Li Yang intended to make another trip to the raw materials area; however, at that moment, Zhang Ying had to leave for a matter. As the assistant manager, Li Yang had no choice but to take over Zhang Ying's responsibilities and stay at the booth to look after their jewelry.

As the assistant manager, Li Yang had no choice but to take over Zhang Ying's responsibilities and stay at the booth to look after their jewelry.
Without a word throughout the night, the next day, Li Yang and Zhang Ying both got up early. The two were to go to the bank together to inspect the jewelry for the exhibition, which was worth much more than Li Yang's piece of jade.
"Brother Li, come, come, do you want to gamble again today?" The seller called out to Li Yang with great enthusiasm the day before yesterday. After Li Yang's successful bet on the rise, it had significantly boosted his business, allowing him to make quite a profit on this trip. Even if he doesn't sell anything from now on, the earnings from that day are more than enough.
Wang Jiajia's attitude also influenced Li Yang, and his excitement, which had lasted for an entire day, finally calmed down a bit
Li Yang placed his palm flat on the stone, his mind empty, and there was no tingling sensation in his palm
However, Wang Jiajia's reaction was beyond Li Yang's expectations. She did not show any surprise regarding Li Yang's earnings of over 1 million today; she merely smiled and offered a few words of congratulations, as if there were no difference between 1 million and 100.
While Zhang Ying was taking a shower, Li Yang conducted experiments using items that could be easily picked up in the hotel room, such as a mouse, keyboard, TV remote control, ashtray, and so on, but none of these items replicated the strange scene from earlier in the day
As soon as he stood up, Li Yang felt a tingling sensation in his palms once again. His brows twitched, and he hurriedly crouched down to stroke the gambling stone. A miracle occurred once more, as a three-dimensional image truly appeared in Li Yang's mind
For this reason, during the exhibition, Qingdao specifically dispatched over 1,000 armed police officers to assist, and the police also deployed a significant number of personnel, along with a large amount of modern equipment, to ensure the safety of all the jewelry from the participating companies
"Haha, this is Xiao Li's fortune; what does it have to do with me?" Zhang Ying replied with a smile, claiming it was unrelated, but his face revealed the joy he felt at that moment
A few seconds later, Li Yang released his grip, stood up, and shook his head. The movement of the scene in his mind gave him a feeling of dizziness
After the exhibition ended, the venue suddenly became quiet. Li Yang hurriedly took advantage of the time when the jewelry company was exiting to rush back to the raw materials area. As soon as Li Yang arrived, he was immediately recognized by many sellers.
Of course, Brother Li, feel free to take a look
Fortunately, the time for the exhibition has arrived. After a brief conference was held earlier, many customers flocked into the exhibition hall. Zhang Ying has also returned, alleviating Li Yang's previous discomfort.
Li Yang began to suspect that this situation only occurred when he was holding the jadeite raw stone. If it weren't for the fact that the half-gambling material he had during the day had truly revealed jadeite, he would even think that he was experiencing hallucinations
Qingdao is a city with a highly developed economy, and since it has never hosted a formal international jewelry exhibition before, this jewelry exhibition has attracted a large number of citizens from Qingdao to participate
"Go ahead, keep pretending. Who doesn't know that our Anshi Jewelry Mingyang branch just hit a big jackpot with a piece of gambling stone as soon as we arrived at the exhibition center? It was a significant increase. After you all leave today, many executives will be asking about you!" Zhao Lei said indignantly, a hint of jealousy evident on his face.
