They needed money and fame.
If Su Yan had given them the money directly, it would have been unfair. Su Yan did not plan to invest the money herself, but to use the resources in her hands to earn money.
The underground gem industry was actually an auction house. What made it famous was that it auctioned raw stones. No one knew what it would be after opening it. It could become rich overnight, or it could instantly destroy one’s family.
Even though they knew it was dangerous, everyone still rushed to it.
Su Yan planned to build an auction house. It was to package the gem and sell it in the form of an auction.
If one were lucky, everyone would be able to pick up the pieces. If one was unlucky and encountered a high price, one could choose not to bid.
Then everyone would be willing to participate.
Moreover, the common people had never participated in an auction before, so it would attract a large number of people’s attention at first. However, this was not a long-term thing, so Su Yan only planned to use the auction as a gimmick to attract people’s attention.
As for why the location was set in the city, it was because it was a symbol of nobility.
It was used to attract those who really had the ability to spend.
Su Yan quickly ordered people to tidy up the mansion in the city.
She also asked Chu Tao to go to Mother Fei’s Cloud Robe Pavilion to take out all of her outdated clothes. There were two ways. One was to sell the clothes and take 70% as the profit of the shop, and the auction house would take 30%.
Second, they would buy the clothes at the original price.
Mother Fei naturally happily chose to sell the clothes at the original price.
After a while, a few large boxes of clothes were sent to Guang Residence.
Chu Tao looked at these outdated clothes and did not know what Su Yan was doing.
Su Yan went to the jewelry store without stopping. She found Liu Meiniang and asked for a batch of jewelry. They agreed to split it 70-30.
Liu Meiniang 70%, Su Yan 30%.
After all this, it was already dark.
Su Yan brought Chu Tao and Chun Xia to count the items bit by bit. She even dragged Jin Tong over.
The few women were busy for a few days before they finished counting the items in their hands.
There were a total of 320 sets of clothes. The average was five taels of silver per set.
There were a total of 730 pieces of jewelry, with different prices.
Su Yan took all of the clothes apart and reassembled them, then paired them with exquisite jewelry.
The price of the jewelry was low, medium, and high. There was only one rule for each set of finished products, which was that they were beautiful and magnificent.
Jin Tong was also addicted to it, and she even put the jewelry together in a whimsical way.
In the last few days, she did not even notice that An Yi was back, completely forgetting about him.
Recently, An Yi had come back a lot more frequently. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he had swayed to Jin Tong’s side. Su Yan saw this and found it a little funny that An Yi had such a day.
Just the preparations alone had already taken a few days. When all these things were completed in a complete set,.
Su Yan handed them over to Zhang Sheng and let him memorize these combinations. Then, he would think about how to introduce these gemstones.
Similarly, there was only one standard, and that was to be beautiful.
Behind each set of finished products was a beautiful story.
After Zhang Sheng’s task was clear, Su Yan still had to think of ways to find some beautiful women.
Before she could take action, she saw Yuyan slowly walking over with a group of beautiful women that were as beautiful as flowers.
Su Yan’s eyes lit up. When she saw Nalan Cui beside him, she knew where Yuyan had gotten the news that she needed a beauty.
Recently, Yuyan and Nalan Cui seemed to be getting closer to each other. Su Yan looked at them thoughtfully.
Nalan Cui had now changed his name to Gu Cui. After all, the Nalan surname was not convenient.
However, judging from Yuyan’s cunning appearance, it did not seem like he did not know his true identity.
Su Yan thought for a moment and decided not to care anymore. Everyone had their own lives to take. She only needed to keep an eye on Nalan Cui and there would be no danger.
Too much intervention was also a form of strangulation..
