To Lu Yingxue, that pair of jade bracelets held a unique value. While they were not of the top-tier "glass-species" quality, their true strength lay in the fact that they were a perfect matching set. Decades later, at an auction, a pair like this would fetch at least tens of millions, but in the 1980s, 350,000 was an astronomical price.
"Your accuracy is incredible!" Lu Yingxue had yet to recover from the shock that Sheng Xia actually had the liquidity to purchase her jewelry, and now she was stunned by the precision of Sheng Xia’s offer. She had purchased the diamond set at an auction for 50,000, and her grandmother had bought the jade bracelets from a master carver years ago for 300,000. Over the years, the price of jade had risen slightly, so Sheng Xia’s offer of 350,000 was almost exactly the current market value.
What kind of keen insight and vision did it take to estimate that accurately? At first, Lu Yingxue had truly believed Sheng Xia was just a street vendor as she claimed. Now, she found her increasingly unfathomable. What kind of street vendor possessed such vision and financial strength?
