PFC Chapter 172 The Divine Shop
Chapter 172 The Divine Shop
Yun Yao owns many businesses, and she can't manage them all herself. Since she brought Qi Mo here, Qi Mo is the person she has chosen to manage them.
Qi Mo is too young, so we need a cover for him, and his father is the best choice.
However, Qi's father was weak-willed and unable to shoulder the responsibility. Yun Yao had considered replacing him, but after negotiating with Qi Mo, she ultimately did not change her mind.
Although Qi Mo's methods were still immature, his foresight and magnanimity were trustworthy for Yun Yao. Compared to entrusting this vast Linglang Pavilion to an outsider, Qi Mo and his son were more at ease.
She believed that as long as Qi Mo was there, the Linlang Pavilion would function normally.
"Qi Mo, we can begin." Yun Yao said slowly, looking at the situation below.
From this moment on, Yun Yao will not interfere with any of Qi Mo's decisions unless absolutely necessary.
He is the director of this Linglang Pavilion.
Qi Mo slowly turned on his walkie-talkie, and his youthful voice rang out.
"Everyone, prepare to cut the stone."
Unlike other shops and companies that open with ribbon-cutting ceremonies, Linlangge's opening was marked by the breaking of stones.
Opening raw stones on-site is all about the excitement and thrill; whether you buy anything or not, passersby are always eager to come and take a look.
"With so many rough stones, they must be worth tens of millions, right?" Among them were many jade gambling enthusiasts.
"Sigh, with this quality, it would be a miracle if it even turned out green."
The crowd's voices varied, some came and some went, but the circle kept getting bigger and bigger until it completely blocked off the commercial street.
Many people wanted to join in the fun, so they booked private rooms in the restaurant across the street, and some even used drones, which shows how spectacular the scene was.
"Our manager said that there are plenty of green stones on the market today, including many imperial and glass-type stones. If you like any, you should act quickly!" the staff member at the door called out with a smile.
His words had barely left his lips when an uproar erupted.
"You think you can just make it green whenever you say it will? What if it doesn't happen?" someone jeered.
These words reached the ears of the person upstairs without missing a single one. Qi Mo, whose forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, frowned slightly and spoke clearly: "If not a single one is produced, I will give away all the products in the store for free."
The staff were stunned for a second when they heard Qi Mo's words, until that childish voice rang in their ears again.
"Do as I say."
The staff member snapped out of his daze, looked at the massive crowd, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Our manager said that if even one stone on the field today doesn't yield any green, then all of Linlang Pavilion's products will be given away for free!"
As soon as the staff member finished speaking the last word, the whole place erupted in cheers, urging the staff member to start cutting the stone quickly.
The crowd was so large that it even alerted the police, and the entire commercial street was closed off for pedestrian safety.
This opening ceremony will be a topic of conversation among people in the capital for many years to come.
They said that the opening of a small shop caused a traffic jam on a commercial street that had never experienced a congestion in a hundred years, and the scene was so grand that it was unforgettable.
Let's not talk about the future, let's just look at the present.
Amidst their eager anticipation, the first stone was placed onto the cutting machine.
Then, with a single, effortless cut, the green came out.
Those standing in the front row were the most shocked; they witnessed with their own eyes that a stone that looked like marble had turned green!
At first, they thought it was just good luck at Linlang Pavilion, but when they cut three stones and found green, they all became quite agitated.
"Didn't you say you had Imperial Green and Glassy Green? Why don't you cut one for us to see?" The onlookers began to push their luck.
The video of the stone cutting on site instantly went viral online, and wherever there was internet access, everyone was flooded with news of Linlang Pavilion's opening.
Even those who aren't experts know how risky gambling on jade is. If you cut three pieces and they all turn out green, there are only two possibilities.
First, the shop owner tampered with the stones; second, someone in the Linlang Pavilion has a talent for identifying stones.
Compared to the latter, they were more willing to believe the former, and they once thought it was a marketing tactic by Linlangge.
"Hurry up, if you can cut out imperial green from the next piece, I'll buy the most expensive thing in your store today!" A man's voice suddenly rang out throughout the room.
Following the sound, one could see Su Feng standing in the front row with a beer belly, his face full of disdain.
Many people present recognized Su Feng, the second son of the Su family and Su Yuchen's older brother.
"When did the Su family return? Weren't they supposed to have been driven out of the capital by the four great families?" People whispered among themselves.
"Now that Su Yuchen is back, how powerful can the four great families still be? The Su family is back, so who dares to stop them?"
Su Feng vaguely heard the words "Su Yuchen," and his expression instantly turned ferocious.
"I'm talking to you, did you hear me?" Su Feng yelled at the thin staff member.
Yun Yao, who was upstairs, had already spotted Su Feng in the crowd. With Su Yuchen's reputation protecting him, Su Feng's appearance was indeed a bit troublesome. However, Yun Yao did not intend to take action and still left the initiative to Qi Mo. This was undoubtedly a good opportunity for him to train.
But before she started training, she still had something to tell Qi Mo.
"Qi Mo, remember this: no one can run wild in my Yun Yao's shop. If anyone does, fight them back, no matter who they are or what their status is," Yun Yao said in a deep voice.
Yun Yao wasn't worried about Qi Mo's professional skills at all, but he was still a child after all. Sometimes he was afraid of causing her trouble, so he would swallow all the hardships and difficulties himself, but that was not what Yun Yao wanted to see.
Upon hearing Yun Yao's words, a small flame suddenly ignited in Qi Mo's dark and bright eyes, and he nodded obediently.
"okay, I get it."
The workers received the order to continue cutting the stone and dared not disobey. They picked up the unremarkable stone in the corner and walked toward the cutting machine.
"Our manager said that we'll use this piece of raw stone to bring our opening ceremony to a perfect close." As the staff member spoke, he placed the watermelon-sized stone into the machine.
The sound of the grinding machine filled the air, and everyone, whose fate was yet to be determined, became even more excited.
"If another green leaf appears in this area, then there will be four areas, right?"
"I've made up my mind. As long as this piece has green, I will buy all my jade from Linglang Pavilion from now on!"
Such voices are rising one after another, but of course, these promises will only be fulfilled after the green light is issued.
Some jade gambling enthusiasts even bought a large screen in a nearby square to broadcast the entire jade cutting process live.
This "small" opening ceremony quickly became an international sensation.
Even if the last piece yields some precious material, just the green color would excite them for a long time!
In an instant, the entire jade industry was in an uproar.
As the expressionless staff member bent down to pick up the rough stone, everyone held their breath, not even blinking, for fear of missing a historic moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as expected, it's Imperial Green!" The staff member's voice suddenly rose as he turned the cut surface towards the crowd.
The entire venue was silent for three seconds, and then erupted in cheers.
"Imperial Green! It really is Imperial Green! Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
"What kind of amazing shop is this? It's incredible! Absolutely amazing!"
Everyone was thrilled, and cheers erupted continuously.
The staff member also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the saying "one cut and it's all over" would come true, and that everything they had done would be in vain.
Fortunately, no.
