“Young Master Liu, do you see? This raw stone was originally worth four to five hundred thousand, but with your cut, it's now worth at most two hundred thousand.”
“No matter, I won't lose money with two hundred thousand.”
“It's more than enough to win against certain people.”
“Ye Feng, it's your turn to open it.”
“If the price of your raw stone exceeds two hundred thousand after it's opened, then I lose.”
The next second, Ye Feng calmly handed the raw stone to the stone-cutting master.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Especially Yang Tao and Chen Dong, who were so nervous their foreheads were sweating.
“Young man, there's no need to cut this broken raw stone at all.”
“Based on my more than twenty years of experience in stone cutting,”
“cutting this broken stone would be a complete waste of labor.”
“Ye Feng, look, even the stone-cutting master doesn't think highly of this raw stone.”
“We're finished.”
“Master, please cut the stone.”
“No matter the labor fee, I will pay it.”
“Alright then.”
“Hmph, Ye Feng, you're still being stubborn now.”
“If you lose everything later, you'll have something to cry about.”
Liu Jie wasn't worried about losing at all; he didn't believe Ye Feng's judgment could surpass all the experts present.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a window was gradually opened on the number thirteen raw stone that Ye Feng had bought.
“Green?”
“It's actually green inside.”
An excited voice came from the stone-cutting master's mouth.
“What?”
“Green?”
“Quick, let this Old Mister see.”
Shopkeeper Gu excitedly picked up the number thirteen raw stone and examined it carefully. After shining a light on it, a deep green color was indeed visible inside.
The reason it couldn't be seen before was entirely because the raw stone's skin was too thick.
“It really is green.”
“And it looks full of luster, deep green.”
“It's deep green.”
“Shopkeeper Gu, don't joke.”
“Deep green?”
One must know that among jadeite, green is the most expensive, and the deeper the color, the higher the price.
If it's deep green, it's highly possible that extremely valuable Imperial Green jade could be cut from it.
Imperial Green, even a thumb-sized piece of Imperial Green, would be valuable enough to buy a house in Tianhai City.
“Young man, how did you see this?”
“This raw stone cannot be cut any further.”
“At the very least, it's Zheng Yang Green inside, and it might even be Imperial Green.”
“It's just that this raw stone is too small, so a bracelet is out of the question, but a ring face or a pendant should still be possible.”
“Five hundred thousand, our Yufeng Zhai will buy back this raw stone for five hundred thousand.”
“Fi… five hundred thousand?”
Yang Tao and Chen Dong still hadn't fully reacted.
They felt like their brains weren't working fast enough.
“Ye Feng, Ye Feng, we're rich!”
“Five hundred thousand, that's five hundred thousand! Hahahahaha...”
“Young man, this Old Mister apologizes to you for his ignorance just now.”
“This Old Mister prided himself as a jade appraisal expert, yet this Old Mister actually missed a raw stone that had a high chance of yielding Imperial Green.”
“Six hundred thousand, young man, are you willing to part with it?”
“Six hundred thousand?”
“Holy cow, Tang Qingyuan is actually willing to spend six hundred thousand to buy this raw stone.”
“It looks like this raw stone is a sure thing.”
Liu Jie's face had already turned ashen with anger at this sight.
“Seven hundred thousand.”
“Young man, our Yufeng Zhai offers seven hundred thousand.”
“What?”
“Seven hundred thousand?”
“My goodness, such a small raw stone can actually sell for seven hundred thousand?”
“And it's only had a small window opened so far.”
“The risk is still very high.”
“Seven hundred thousand is probably already the absolute maximum price.”
“Shopkeeper Gu, are you deliberately going against this Old Mister?”
“Although this raw stone shows green, it hasn't been cut open yet, everything is still unknown.”
“Forget it, forget it, your Yufeng Zhai is rich and powerful, this Old Mister can't compete with you.”
“Hehe, Old Mr. Tang, what are you saying?”
“Then many thanks to Old Mr. Tang for giving way.”
“How about it, young man, seven hundred thousand, are you willing to sell this raw stone to our Yufeng Zhai?”
“Yes.”
“Seven hundred thousand it is, deal.”
“Wow, that's great, seven hundred thousand!”
“Hahaha, we're rich!”
Hearing the final transaction price of seven hundred thousand, Chen Dong and Yang Tao were so excited they wanted to pick up Ye Feng and dance.
“Hmph, a bunch of country bumpkins, it's only seven hundred thousand, look how happy you all are.”
“Ye Feng, you're lucky. I, Liu Jie, admit defeat. The number one raw stone is yours.”
“But don't get too smug, we'll see.”
With that, Liu Jie waved his hand and left Yufeng Zhai in a huff with the beautiful woman beside him.
Ten minutes later, the three of them, Ye Feng, walked out of Yufeng Zhai with smiles on their faces.
Including the number one raw stone Liu Jie lost, which was worth two hundred thousand, Ye Feng and his two friends received a total of nine hundred thousand.
Chen Dong and Yang Tao felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their chests.
The sudden wealth made them feel as if everyone around them was coveting their money.
“Ye Feng, are we really not dreaming?”
“Nine hundred thousand?”
“We're rich!”
“Heh, what's this?”
“We'll split these nine hundred thousand three ways. I'll transfer it to your cards later.”
“Really?”
“Split it, three hundred thousand each?”
“Mom, I'm rich, wuwuwu.”
“I've never seen so much money in my life.”
“After we go back to school, I'm going to order four dishes and one soup for every meal.”
“Oh, by the way, Ye Feng, how did you see that this raw stone had green inside?”
“If we didn't sell it and just cut it open, wouldn't it be even more valuable?”
“I was just lucky.”
“The price would definitely be higher if it were cut open.”
“However, we won't earn that money. There are still many subsequent problems, such as design, carving, promotion, and even auctioning.”
“These profits should be earned by their Yufeng Zhai.”
“Oh...”
“That makes sense.”
“But Ye Feng, you're really too lucky.”
“What are you thinking? Do you think you can be that lucky every time?”
“Let's go, it's still early.”
“Let's buy some clothes, and my hair, which hasn't been cut in two or three months, should also be trimmed.”
“After that, I'll treat you to a big meal.”
“Woohoo~, that's great!”
“We finally get to have a big meal paid for by Ye Feng.”
“Ye Feng, you're simply our idol!”
“Hahaha, Liu Jie must be fuming right now.”
Tianhai City University Bar and Dining Street.
Inside a lively small bar, Liu Yunyan, with her two roommates and best friends, was drinking and dancing.
“Yueyue, order anything, order the expensive stuff.”
“Liu Jie just called me.”
“He said Ye Feng just made several hundred thousand.”
“His money, isn't that essentially my money?”
“I want to spend, hahaha.”
“Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll have Ye Feng buy each of us three a handbag.”
“And he has to get us three the latest model phones.”
