Chapter 258: New Food for the Demon Refining Pot
Jessica looked at Xiao Ping in surprise and said, "You want to buy emeralds, aren't you kidding?"
Xiao Ping said solemnly: "I'm serious, I want all these emeralds, what is the price...... How about the price your father bought at the time?"
Speaking of which, Jessica has helped Xiao Ping a lot, and the relationship between the two is very ambiguous, so Xiao Ping doesn't mind letting her take advantage of it. Speaking of which, Xiao Ping is such a person, and he is not too embarrassed to be ruthless to acquaintances who have a good relationship with him. If Jessica was just a stranger, or if there had been an unpleasant affair between the two, Xiao Ping would definitely take this opportunity to lower the price, even if Jessica lost all his money, he would not feel guilty at all.
Jessica's reaction did not disappoint Xiao Ping, and immediately shook her head and said, "I can't promise you, this price is too high, and selling it to you at this price is cheating your money!"
Xiao Ping said with a smile: "You have already made it clear, I insisted on buying it, how can it be considered a deception? I really want to buy these emeralds, you can do me a favor and fulfill it!"
Jessica looked at Xiao Ping suspiciously, and insisted after being sure that he was not joking: "You can sell it, but the price is not four million, but three million!"
Xiao Pingqi said: "Aren't you losing money in this way?"
Jessica said seriously, "Have you forgotten what I said to you before?"
Xiao Ping realized that Jessica thought she was deliberately looking for a reason to help her. The extremely strong American chick has long said that she will not accept Xiao Ping's help, just to get along with him on an equal footing. Of course, Xiao Ping couldn't tell Jessica that he really needed these emeralds to promote the evolution of the demon refining pot, so he pushed the boat down the river and said, "Okay, then I'm welcome!"
Seeing that Xiao Ping agreed to her request, Jessica also smiled with satisfaction. She did this just to keep her dúlì, and she didn't want to always feel that she was taking advantage of Xiao Ping when she was with him, and from this point of view, American girls are indeed different from those in China.
Jessica handed the lockbox in her hand to Xiao Ping, then took the emerald in his hand and said, "Since you bought so many gems at once, this one should be given to me as a gift, and it should be a souvenir." ”
Xiao Ping naturally would not refuse Jessica's small request. However, when he took the lockbox, he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say with some embarrassment: "By the way! I suddenly remembered that I don't have a lot of money lately." I'm afraid I won't have enough cash to pay you, or ...... How about taking a stake in the ranch instead?"
Xiao Ping is not playing tricks, he is indeed a little short of money. It cost more than 30 million yuan to buy the land alone, and the next construction cost is not a small amount. In addition, pastures and vegetable fields are highly mechanized production. Xiao Ping also has to buy some large farm machinery. This is also a significant overhead. In the end, he had to buy livestock to enrich the pasture, and his money was really tight.
The more Xiao Ping thought about it, the more he felt that the idea of exchanging shares for gems was good, and said to Jessica with a smile: "You know my ability, I will make a steady profit by exchanging gems for shares in the ranch, if you want to quit in the future, I will give you cash immediately, how about it?"
Jessica knows how popular the vegetables cultivated by Xiao Ping are, and she knows very well that not only did she not suffer a loss, but on the contrary, she made a lot of money. And Xiao Ping is willing to give up part of his shares, and he clearly does not treat the American chick as an outsider.
Thinking of this, Jessica was in a good mood, looked at Xiao Ping with a smile and asked, "Are you serious?
In fact, Xiao Ping is willing to give up a part of the shares. In addition to the lack of funds, there is a more important reason that a lot of things on the ranch can be left to Jessica. There's no need for him to fly around and deal with it himself. However, if this can make Jessica happy, it will be considered an additional gain, so Xiao Ping said without hesitation: "Of course I won't regret it, who are the two of us, right?"
Xiao Ping's last sentence was in Chinese, and he did not hide his closeness to Jessica. The American chick listened to it and felt a warm heart, and the idea of keeping dúlìxìng was thrown out of the clouds in an instant, and she nodded lightly without hesitation: "Okay, I promise you." ”
"Great. See Jessica agreed to her suggestion. Xiao Ping also said happily: "From today onwards, you are also a shareholder of the ranch, and I will not be in the United States in the future." The ranch will have to worry about you!"
Jessica is not a stupid girl, and immediately frowned and said, "Okay, it turns out that you fought this idea, it's so cunning!"
Xiao Ping said with a smile: "I have appointed Mark as the ranch manager, and all the usual affairs of the ranch will be handled by him, you just need to come forward to deal with it when you encounter a big event." The only person I really trust here is you, so you should do me a favor. ”
Hearing Xiao Ping say this, Jessica naturally would not refuse anymore, and accepted her identity as a shareholder of the ranch. The two talked and laughed along the way, and soon returned to Wharton. Jessica didn't go back to the ranch with Xiao Ping, but stayed in the town. Jessica has been back to her hometown for a while, and she has been worried about her father's troubles, but now that all the troubles are solved, she has asked a few classmates who were good in high school to hold a party, and she wants to get together with her old friends, and I am afraid that she will not return to the ranch today.
This was a good opportunity for Xiao Ping, who returned to the ranch alone, and after the workers had finished work, he went back to his room and locked the door, and poured a box full of emeralds on the bed.
Taylor Sr. failed in his investment in emeralds, but he bought all the finest gemstones. Although the sè ze of the emerald is deep and shallow, all of them are beautiful, pure and transparent. With so many gems scattered on the bed, they glow with a deep or light green glow in the light, which is indeed very beautiful.
Xiao Ping was also fascinated by this scene, and watched it for a while before he whispered in praise: "Three million dollars, it's really beautiful when stacked together!"
If Xiao Ping's words were heard by those jewelry connoisseurs, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood. In his eyes, such a beautiful jewel is a lot of dollars, it's too vulgar!
In Xiao Ping's eyes, these emeralds were indeed nothing remarkable, at best, they were just food prepared for the demon refining pot. In the past, when he was in China, Xiao Ping didn't buy less jade for the demon refining pot to absorb, but this time he spent a little more money, and it wasn't a big deal.
Xiao Ping took out the demon refining pot that had been hanging around his neck and slowly approached the largest emerald. As the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the induction of the demon refining pot became more and more intense, and it trembled as if it was alive. The trembling of the demon refining pot became more and more intense, and even Xiao Ping's hand trembled slightly later.
In the end, the demon refining pot finally touched the emerald, and the emerald dimmed slightly the moment the two sides came into contact, and then the green sè in the gem seemed to be attracted by some mysterious power, and all of them gathered into a line and quickly flowed into the demon refining pot. In just a few moments, the original radiant emerald had lost all its brilliance and turned into a transparent substance full of cracks.
When the emerald jīng is absorbed by the demon refining pot, it does not turn into powder like jade, but becomes an object similar to glass slag. If he hadn't seen all the changes with his own eyes, Xiao Ping would never have believed that the beautiful emerald would have become like this. However, this also shows that emeralds can indeed be absorbed by the demon refining pot, so Xiao Ping couldn't wait to put the demon refining pot close to the second emerald, wondering what would happen to the demon refining pot after Lu Dao absorbed all these gems.
The speed at which the demon refining pot absorbs emeralds is slower than that of jade, and the box of emeralds that Xiao Ping bought at a high price is enough for the demon refining pot to absorb for an hour, and it has all been absorbed. As the Demon Refining Pot absorbed more and more gems, Xiao Ping gradually discovered that a mysterious induction had been established between him and the Demon Refining Pot. He seemed to be able to feel that the Demon Refining Pot was transmitting some kind of emotion to himself, as if a person who had been hungry for a long time had finally eaten a full meal, full of satisfaction and gratitude.
In fact, this is the credit of Xiao Ping's carving of leaves in recent times. While he was fully aware of and figuring out the shape of the leaves, his connection with the Demon Refining Pot itself deepened. This connection allowed Xiao Ping to feel the subtle changes in the Demon Refining Pot, and in turn, the Demon Refining Pot could also accept Xiao Ping's thoughts to a limited extent, and the relationship between Xiao Ping and the Demon Refining Pot finally entered the stage of the so-called "heart induction".
As the Demon Refining Pot absorbed more and more emeralds, Xiao Ping also keenly felt that his connection with this magical treasure was getting closer and closer. If the demon refining pot was just an object in Xiao Ping's eyes before, now it gradually feels like it is one with him, and there is a tendency to become a part of Xiao Ping's body.
Although Xiao Ping himself didn't know how this happened, he instinctively knew that it was a good thing, and couldn't help muttering: "These three million...... It's worth it!"
Xiao Ping said while piling up the few remaining emeralds together, and Suo Xìng buried the demon refining pot directly into the gem pile. All gems that come into contact with the Demon Refining Pot are rapidly losing their face, and eventually they can't escape the end of turning into glass slag.
After another half an hour, all the emeralds were finally absorbed by the Demon Refining Pot, leaving a large piece of glass-like material on the bed. Not so long ago, these "glass slags" were dazzling emeralds, worth more than three million yuan, which may also be the most expensive glass slag ever made.
However, Xiao Ping didn't have time to sigh at this time, he didn't look at this pile of "glass slag" at all, but couldn't wait to pick up the demon refining pot and look at it carefully. According to previous experience, any change in the space of the demon refining pot would be reflected in the picture on the surface of the pot. For example, before absorbing the emerald, the scenery of the coast appeared on that picture, so Xiao Ping hoped to see the changes in the space of the demon refining pot from that picture as soon as possible.
