Chapter 163:119, Chen Shanhe investigates Lin Mo? Clash with the big shots is imminent!_2
People who gamble all year round usually have all sorts of habits.
His dad used to like bringing a pixiu whenever he went back home to play mahjong during the New Year, saying it only allowed money in and not out, and that he was sure to win tonight.
After so many years, Lin Mo had hardly ever seen him win much money.
However, that was just minor playing among relatives and friends, not to the level of gambling.
“No need, I believe in myself.”
Lin Mo smiled indifferently and then, under the watchful eyes of a few dozen people, slowly stood up and approached the stone cutting machine.
This stone cutting machine was quite advanced; it was more so than those Lin Mo had seen on TikTok before.
To lift the dust cover, you didn’t use your hands, you just needed to press a button on the machine.
Whir…
After Lin Mo pressed the button, the dust cover slowly rose, revealing the jade stone inside that had been cut open.
“It’s gone up! Skyrocketed!!!”
Zeng Shirong, who was closest, became several times more excited than Lin Mo at the first sight of the stone, touching the cut-open jade as if caressing the delicate body of a beauty, with extreme care.
The investment was a loss to the family,
but he could use this event to boost his status within the family.
I said there was something good here, but you insisted on listening to those jade betting advisers!
Serves you right!
When they heard Zeng Shirong’s outburst, the surrounding crowd also became excited and closed in. When they saw a patch the size of a desktop of green translucent quality on the cut surface, they couldn’t help but shout excitedly.
“Damn! Such pure material, this is a huge rise!”
“Am I dreaming? Did we really find something?”
“The Zeng Family Clan actually has a stroke of luck?”
“This is High-Ice-Type Yellow Green! And such a large piece! If it’s sold, it could fetch at least twenty or thirty million!”
“Damn, that’s badass! Fuck!”
“He made over ten million in the morning, and at least another twenty million tonight. Over thirty million in one day, is this guy the God of Wealth reborn?”
“This is… too unreal… Has anything like this happened since this antique market existed?”
“Fuck! Am I dreaming?”
“Man, stop it, it’s no fun when you’re on a winning streak like this.”
“I’ll buy it for 15 million at a high price, brother, think about it!”
“Ha, you’re trying to scam fools here? 15 million? I bid 20 million!”
The crowd burst into exclamations, and from time to time, people asked Lin Mo if he was willing to sell the stone, offering a high price to buy it.
If it wasn’t for the market security guards holding them back, Lin Mo would likely have been swallowed up by the crowd.
As for Xiang Feiwen, upon seeing the jade stone surge the moment it was cut, he felt numb all over again, swayed, and nearly fainted.
Regret!
Such regret!
Why,
why didn’t I just raise the price a bit more earlier!
If I had pushed it to ten million, wouldn’t this jade stone, worth at least twenty million or more, belong to me?
If he hadn’t been involved at all it would have been one thing, but he had clearly outbid everyone else, only to lose out at the last moment. The feeling was simply too agonizing.
In just one day, he had become a clown twice.
Immense wealth had brushed past him!
What Xiang Feiwen didn’t realize was that even if he had bid ten million, Lin Mo would have followed suit.
Besides, he wouldn’t have been able to come up with ten million in cash in such a short time.
The outcome that unfolded since the moment Lin Mo entered the auction house was actually predestined.
And Lin Mo’s heart was actually not as composed,
if he sold the jade stone in front of him, his bank balance would surge to over thirty million.
Previously, he had made that much money over more than half a month’s unremitting effort, running around the markets and spending all day in the lottery shop, and had only made over twenty million.
But this time, he had made twenty to thirty million in just one day, or to be precise, in just over a dozen hours!
Thrilling!
The feeling was truly thrilling!
It was even more satisfying than picking up money in a sack!
When Zeng Shirong came to his senses, he looked at Lin Mo excitedly and said, “I told you my judgment was right back then, those damn jade betting advisers are nothing but mediocre.”
“Lin bro, this stone, are you willing to part with it?”
Lin Mo certainly wouldn’t keep this piece of jade, the reason he bought this jade was to make money.
He nodded and said, “If the price is right, I don’t mind selling it to you, how much is Mr. Zeng willing to offer?”
“Well…” after thinking it over, Zeng Shirong said, “I won’t beat around the bush in front of an expert. My estimate is that this piece of jade, once fully mined and processed into a jade piece, can sell for around 32 million in total.”
“But, there’s the matter of polishing, processing, carving, sales, and so on in the later stages, all of these steps need profits too.”
“How about this, Lin bro, 28 million, if you’re willing to part with it, I’ll arrange a transfer right now!”
“I assure you solemnly, henceforth, you will also be a friend of the Zeng family, and should you need anything, the Zeng family will fulfill any of your needs as far as possible.”
“Moreover, if you ever want to sell anything in the future, our Zeng family guarantees to buy it at the most reasonable price.”
28… million?
In one day’s time,
an initial investment of 1.2 million turned into over 30 million?
What kind of money-making speed is this?
Zhang Yihua listened to Zeng Shirong’s words, his lips twitching, his worldview completely shattered, no longer knowing what to say.
And Xiang Feiwen, who had snapped back to reality, had already slunk away like a sewer rat exposed to light, hiding as far away as he could.
He hated Lin Mo, but he understood all too well that someone who had stumbled upon two epic windfalls in one day and had become a distinguished guest of both the Kong family and the Zeng family, was not someone he could afford to provoke.
