After leaving Darren’s place, Fabian didn’t urge Oliver to go to the next one. Instead, Fabian said with a smile that he would take them to dinner.
The restaurants in Manchernius were not as good as the ones back in the country, but they were still quite unique.
The meal cost 200 thousand Manchernius dollars, which came down to 200 dollars after conversion. Fabian secretly paid the bill so that Oliver could hot take it from him.
That day, Fabian had already earned about 90,000 dollars from Oliver. Thus, it would seem wrong if Fabian were still reluctant to pay a few hundred dollars.
It was still early, just after noon, after they finished the meal.
Fabian smiled and said to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, we’re in no rush anyway. How about I take you to the mine site?”
Hailey rushed to say, “Sure. I’ve never seen how jadeite is produced.”
Oliver also nodded, but he asked Fabian carefully, “Can you buy it on the spot if we see a good stone?”
“Of course.” Fabian nodded and replied, “You can buy the stones from private mines whenever, as long as the mine owner thinks the price is appropriate. However, the old mine materials owned by the government cannot be sold privately. Generally, they are only auctioned in the official auctions. Then again, there is nothing that they wouldn’t sell as long as the price is right. They are not fools, after all. Why won’t they sell it to you if you offered 300 thousand dollars for something that could only sell for 200 thousand dollars in the official auctions?”

In the past, Manchernius’s raw stones were not prohibited from private trading. The government only took a profit as tax. However, later, the government received fewer taxes even though the price of jadeite rose higher and higher. Thus, the government withdrew the right and changed to public auction.
That way, it maximized the profits of jadeite to its most.
The raw stone mined from Manchernius were mainly sold through stone gambling. On the other hand, semifinished and finished jadeite products after cutting were much fewer. That was because it would already be considered lucky if one managed to get ten usable stones from 100 raw stones. Moreover, it was even more difficult to get a high-quality jadeite. Generally, there might not even be a jadeite in 100 stones.
Therefore, losing at the stone gambling was known as the norm. If 100 raw stones were good-looking, one could be sold for over 200 thousand dollars. One hundred of them would come down to 20 million dollars.
