Reborn As Super Heiress

This was nothing, but on the other side of the shop entrance, there happened to be a dead-end alley. Inside that alley were several stone cutting machines, where those who had bought raw gemstones were having their stones cut.

At this moment, each stone cutting machine had a Stone Solver Master working busily, with a few buyers waiting nearby who had purchased raw gemstones. This booming business was indeed a sharp contrast to her Guan Yu Beauty Shop.

Just then, someone on that side shouted, ”It’s risen, it’s risen!”

Hearing someone shout, those who were originally around the shop entrance were suddenly shocked. Soon, the gathered people collectively ran towards the stone cutting machine area, not bothering to pick out raw stones anymore.

Seeing this, Huo Sining couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. She signaled to the staff behind her, and while everyone was distracted by the stone cutting, the three quickly entered the shop.

Previously, looking from outside, the shop didn’t seem very large, but once inside, Huo Sining was surprised.

Her shop was handed down from her ancestors, so it was large. However, to her surprise, this shop was even larger; moreover, it seemed to connect to a courtyard at the back. Although the courtyard door was closed, Huo Sining lightly probed the wall with her hand and found a stockpile of stones like a mountain at the back!

Wow, this formation is really large! It seems they prepared well before opening!

Huo Sining raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, could the owner be a raw material wholesaler?

Huo Sining is someone who always values reason. As long as the shop opens and operates normally, even if they learn from her methods, she wouldn’t fuss.

Moreover, stone gambling ends in loss more often than not. The shop just opened, so a little excitement is normal.

But as time goes by and people’s thrill wears off, the shop’s business will naturally decline.

In the jadeite shop, while hype is important, ultimately, what’s contested is each shop’s foundational strength.

After all, raw materials are easy to find, but quality jadeite is rare.

When it comes to jadeite materials, Huo Sining has never feared competition. She doesn’t believe anyone can surpass her with that extraordinary Heavenly Eye Cheating Device.

So, after entering the shop, Huo Sining didn’t say much, just sized up the shop before focusing on the heaps of raw stones inside.

Having heard someone at the stone cutting machine said a stone had risen, most people squeezed into that alley to watch the excitement. At this moment, there were only about seven or eight people picking raw stones in the shop. However, thanks to the news of a stone rise, these people’s morale was boosted, and their enthusiasm for selecting stones soared, with the momentum seeming ready for a big endeavor.

Most of those selecting stones were tourists and amateurs, and this shop’s raw stones weren’t priced very high. The full gamble stones were only two to three hundred per pound, which seemed quite cheap to the tourists, so many were willing to spend money to try.

Huo Sining couldn’t help but mentally shake her head. A fool buys what a fool sells, with another fool waiting; it seems stone gambling, whether in Yangon or domestically, can’t escape the word ”greed”.

Thinking this, Huo Sining still unconsciously squatted down, letting her eyes fall on this batch of raw stones inside.

It had been some time since Huo Sining last seriously handled jadeite raw stones. Now seeing these raw stones, a sense of familiarity involuntarily rose within her.

These raw stones seemed like they came from old fields; their appearance was indeed not bad. Huo Sining was somewhat surprised, thinking, this shop owner, what a bold move!

But just as this thought arose, Huo Sining’s hand fell on a piece of raw stone. Upon seeing the situation inside, her expression involuntarily changed dramatically.

She thought this was just an isolated incident that she happened upon. However, she didn’t expect that, after touching more than a dozen pieces, they were all in the same situation.

Instantly, Huo Sining’s expression turned grim, her gaze darkened with flashes of fury.

The reason was none other than all these raw stones were fake, soaked in chemicals, and were actually waste scraps!

Over the years, Huo Sining had been to Pingzhou, Tengchong, Ruili, and even to Yangon, Myanmar, having seen various types of raw stones. Especially in Pingzhou, she had specifically visited raw stone waste disposal plants.

Back then, she was just getting into jadeite stone gambling, a pauper, with Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan, picking several hundred pieces of profitable waste at that disposal plant, making quite a bit of money.

But at that waste plant, Huo Sining also saw what waste looked like; those were cut-off jadeite raw stones piled like mountains at the disposal plant, with basically no takers.

If ordinary jadeite raw stones come with a nine-in-ten chance of loss, then the already cut-off waste’s chance of rising again is less than one in ten thousand.

This probability is quite exaggerated, but the young Huo Sining, relying on Azure Pearl’s special ability, still gambled a lot of good materials.

However, who among these tourists and ordinary people can have Huo Sining’s ability? Trying to gamble a gain is incredibly difficult!

Huo Sining couldn’t help but sneer. In Pingzhou, Du Yuanwei had once taken her to Old Qi’s waste plant to buy waste. Huo Sining wasn’t sure about the prices at other plants, but at Old Qi’s place, uncut brick material was only two to three hundred per piece, and for cut-off waste, fifty per piece regardless of size, with free choice.

Now the waste was soaked in chemicals, making the cut-over surfaces of the raw stones deceitfully processed, so ordinary people couldn’t tell they had been tampered with.

The shop used false advertising to resell these faked raw stones at the price of newly-extracted jadeite raw stones, with prices multiplying several times to even over a dozen times.

The size of these waste materials was no small matter, mostly ranging from a few kilos to dozens of kilos. Even the smallest piece could sell for seven or eight hundred, while more expensive ones could exceed ten thousand!

The shop proprietor really did a good job at business!

After glancing around, Huo Sining understood the owner’s intention. His so-called custom jadeite was nothing but a guise, with the real aim being just to sell these fake raw stones.

This was a swindler, shooting while changing locations. Once he sold all those raw stones from the courtyard, he’d scam enough money and vanish in a couple of months, only to resurface somewhere else and repeat the scam again, with no need for returning customers.
