Chapter 134: Chapter 133: Price is Not an Issue ... "Perfect." Tang Wenjun said joyfully, "Take us inside to have a look." "Alright, alright. Please follow me." Manager Fang walked ahead enthusiastically to lead the way. When you’re in business, who doesn’t have some sharp judgment? Just by looking at the car Tang Wenjun drove, it was clear he was a wealthy individual. Would someone drive all the way here for a deal worth less than several million? This old stone factory, built at the foot of the mountain, occupied a sizable area. Piles of stones extracted from the mountain lay scattered around its base. While the noise from the stone-cutting machines was somewhat disruptive, the environment was still rather pleasant. Dong Yuqing glanced around at the surroundings, her heart faintly stirring—this stone factory’s location seemed rather deliberate... The factory was built against the mountain, surrounded by lush hills that subtly formed a circular basin. A small river meandered from north to south in an S shape... A place that cradles Yin and holds Yang? Remarkable... Dong Yuqing quietly cast a sidelong glance at Yan Xiaobao. This guy... just by sensing a trace of Qi from Chen Jianguo, he could conclude there was something he needed here... His depth in Fengshui Technique was simply unimaginable... Manager Fang led Tang Wenjun and the group of four to the warehouse of the stone factory. Three warehouses were laid out in a triangular arrangement, each spanning over a thousand square meters. Inside their vast spaces, a variety of cut stones were neatly stacked, primarily granite and marble. Marble is a common high-end building material. As it originates mainly from Yunnan and boasts rich, ever-changing textures that are extraordinarily beautiful, it is also known as Yun Stone. In the past, marble was difficult to mine and costly to transport, keeping its price high. Ordinary households couldn’t afford it. Now, with advances in technology and convenient transportation, costs of extraction and shipping have dropped significantly, making marble much more accessible. Marble tiles, coffee tables, washbasins, and countertop surfaces are all highly favored by the public. Of course, the price of marble varies widely, depending primarily on its quality. The cheapest option is, naturally, artificial marble. Pointing at the dazzling array of marble, Manager Fang introduced, "This is Dandong Green, this is Snowy White, this is Tieling Red, this is Black Gold Sand, this is Songxiang Yellow, and this is Ai Yeqing..." These marbles had only undergone initial cutting and hadn’t yet been polished or processed, leaving their surfaces quite rough. Still, the stones were hard and cool to the touch and of excellent quality. It was no wonder Chen Jianguo had traveled such a long way to procure materials here. "None of these will do," Yan Xiaobao remarked flatly. "I only want pure black and pure white. The colors must be clean with no impurities." "Just black and white?" Manager Fang was slightly startled but quickly tried to persuade, "Plain-colored marble doesn’t have those beautiful textures and offers much less decorative appeal." What Manager Fang said was indeed reasonable. Marble’s popularity wasn’t solely due to its durability but also the stunning natural patterns on its surface, which are a marvelous gift from nature—a feast for the senses. However, monochromatic marble loses that aesthetic charm and, except for materials like White Jade Marble, is considered lower-tier. "Just tell me if you have it or not," Yan Xiaobao said dismissively, unwilling to explain further. "Yes, yes, we do. Come with me then." freēwēbηovel.c૦m Manager Fang led Yan Xiaobao and the others out of the warehouse toward warehouse number three, feeling a bit deflated. Low-grade stones naturally don’t fetch high prices, a far cry from the multimillion-dollar deal he had envisioned. In the spacious corner of warehouse number three, there were piles of the pure-colored marble—black, white, red, and others. As expected, these looked far less impressive than the previous marbles. "Boss, do these pure-colored marbles meet your requirements?" Manager Fang had already adjusted his mindset by now. If Yan Xiaobao ended up buying these unpopular, low-tier stones and helped clear his inventory, that wouldn’t be a bad outcome. Yan Xiaobao only glanced briefly before shaking his head. "These marbles may have pure colors, but their quality is too poor. Show me the highest-quality pure-colored stone you have—I don’t want to waste time." "Alright!" Manager Fang nodded. "But high-quality marble that boasts clean colors is extremely rare, so its price is even higher than most premium marbles." Tang Wenjun immediately responded, "As long as the product meets the requirements, price isn’t an issue." "That’s what I like to hear." Manager Fang’s eyes regained their sparkle. "In that case, please follow me up the mountain directly to select the raw stones. I promise you won’t be disappointed." Leaving the warehouse, they followed a winding path up a rounded hill. From here, the surrounding terrain and scenery unfolded in full view, further shocking Dong Yuqing. Her previous judgment had been correct. Not only was this a place cradling Yin and holding Yang, but it was also a naturally formed Yin Yang Formation. The circle-shaped basin formed by the hills and the S-shaped river dividing it from north to south resembled an intricate Tai Chi Diagram of opposing Yin and Yang. The wonders of nature were boundless. In this unremarkable forested mountain area, such a majestic Fengshui Array had naturally taken shape—it was truly astonishing. This stone factory was anything but simple, and whoever had chosen this site for the factory was even more extraordinary! After all, a man-made Fengshui Array, no matter how intricate, is ultimately just a secondary modification. It could never compare to a naturally occurring Yin Yang Formation. The hilltop had been leveled into a flat space of roughly five to six acres, with a small courtyard and three single-story houses built on it. Under the shade of a tree by the courtyard entrance sat an elderly man with a ruddy complexion and a head full of white hair, leisurely sipping tea. "This is my father, the founder of the stone factory," Manager Fang introduced. Neither Tang Wenjun nor Dong Ming paid much attention, but Dong Yuqing politely gave a slight bow and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Fang." Since he was the factory founder, the man who had chosen the site for the factory, it was evident he must be an exceptional Fengshui master. "What a pretty young lady." Smiling broadly, Mr. Fang looked at Dong Yuqing and asked, "There aren’t many bosses who personally come up the mountain to select stones. Young lady, you’re not here for ordinary materials, are you?" Seeing that Yan Xiaobao had no interest in chatting with the old man, Dong Yuqing replied, "To be honest, Mr. Fang, we’re here to obtain stones for setting up a Fengshui Formation." ...
