Chapter 508: Chapter 509 Pick Up a Bargain_1

"Nine hundred thousand!" Stirred by Tang Hongyuan’s provocation, Yan Xueyi could no longer hold back. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and shouted, "We, Jing Yun Jewelry, bid nine hundred thousand!"

Having said that, Yan Xueyi glared challengingly at Li Changlin.

"Impressive," Li Changlin said with an easy smile, then added indifferently, "One million, five hundred thousand!"

"What!"

"Oh my god, this is getting intense!"

"One million, five hundred thousand, goodness gracious, is this defying the heavens!"

Li Changlin’s words set off an uproar among the crowd.

The owner of the rough stone was so excited his body froze completely.

"Keep going, keep going, oh my god, I’m rich, I’m really rich!" This guy had actually come to the antique market to gamble on stones with a do-or-die attitude.

He never imagined that his first purchase of a rough stone would earn him over a million. He was too excited, too thrilled.

At this moment, all he hoped was for Yan Xueyi not to chicken out. If the two kept bidding against each other, he could make even more.

"You, you’re awesome!" Yan Xueyi was so angry his eyes seemed to spit fire.

If looks could kill, Li Changlin would have been slain millions of times over by now.

Thinking about it, one million, five hundred thousand was too much. After all, the rough stone was only showing some misting, and nobody could really judge what quality of jadeite was inside.

So after a great deal of internal struggle, Yan Xueyi finally decided to drop the idea of continuing to bid and glared at Li Changlin with resentment.

"Then I’ll concede." Li Changlin smiled faintly, his heart in fact pounding with excitement.

He casually gestured a thanks to Yan Xueyi, and then quickly approached the owner of the rough stone, "Brother, give me your YiPay account number, I’ll transfer the money right now."

"Yes, yes, of course." The other party was trembling with excitement and then gave Li Changlin his YiPay account number. Li Changlin took out his phone and readily transferred the one million, five hundred thousand.

"I’ve struck it rich, struck it rich!" Seeing the message on his phone, the owner of the rough stone trembled all over with excitement.

Exhilarating, it was just too damn exhilarating.

They say with stone gambling, a single cut can make you rich or poor, but he never expected to become a millionaire in the blink of an eye. Life was indeed full of wonders!

The guy was cackling inwardly, uncontrollably.

"Alright, now your rough stone is mine." Li Changlin said lightly, patting the other man’s shoulder with a smile. Soon enough, this fellow would probably not be laughing anymore.

However, Li Changlin felt no guilt about it at all.

After all, he knew there really was not much of a chance to cut any good jadeite out of the rough stone on the cutting table at this moment.

Li Changlin was well aware of this already.

So after wrapping up the deal, Li Changlin walked over to the cutting table and hoisted the piece of rough stone from the waste pile onto the machine.

"You’re even taking the blackened waste, lad!" Seeing his actions, Yan Xueyi couldn’t help but laugh mockingly.

"I paid for it," Li Changlin turned his head and looked dispassionately at Yan Xueyi, then said calmly, "I spent one million, five hundred thousand for the rough stone; naturally, I want it whole."

"Pah, it’s already waste, do you think you can still find a loophole!" Yan Xueyi snorted with disdain, and seeing that the former owner didn’t make a sound in response, he didn’t continue.

He was curious to see how exactly this guy planned to ’find a leak’.

If he couldn’t carve out anything, the joke would be truly hilarious.

Li Changlin pursed his lips slightly, guessing Yan Xueyi’s thoughts immediately.

"Husband."

"Brother Changlin."

"Brother Changlin."

It was only at this point that Qian Ziwei and the others came to their senses.

Seeing that Li Changlin had actually spent one million five hundred thousand to purchase the raw stone and the piece of waste on the ground, they couldn’t help but walk over in surprise.

Luo Tianyi and Ye Xiyao had heard something about Li Changlin purchasing the raw stone and revealing "Glutinous Rice" type from Qian Ziwei.

So at this moment, in the hearts of the three women, they all believed that Li Changlin must have discovered something.

Otherwise, Li Changlin wasn’t the impulsive type, and it would have been utterly impossible for him to spend so much money on a piece of waste material.

"It’s fine, I’m just trying my luck," Li Changlin knew what the three women were thinking and quietly gave them a reassuring wink, then said to the cutting master, "Master, please continue cutting. I don’t really know much about gambling on stones, just cut it according to your own experience."

"Okay, but if I end up cutting the jade inside, you can’t blame me," the cutting master replied, though he did state the unpleasant possibility upfront.

"Sure, I won’t blame you," Li Changlin nodded. The jade inside the stone, even if it were given to him for free, wouldn’t catch his fancy.

Whether it was cut well or not didn’t matter, the real show was yet to come!

With Li Changlin’s assurance, the cutting master called his assistant back to work, and the two went back to cutting earnestly.

With rustling sounds, as layers of raw stone fell away, the jade slowly became visible to everyone.

"Huh, it’s ordinary Qingyun Green."

"Damn, Qingyun Green isn’t worth much; looks like the young man has made a loss."

"Another piece has come out; this one seems to be Qingguang Jade, even less valuable."

In the crowd, there were many jade enthusiasts, and they quickly recognized the quality of the two pieces of jade that had been cut out.

"Haha, kid, you’ve lost, competing with this young master, see if you don’t lose to death!" Originally, Yan Xueyi was harboring a lot of resentment, but when he saw the two pieces of jade the cutting master had extracted, all the anger in his heart dissipated like smoke.

Even at this moment, Yan Xueyi’s heart was tinged with a faint sense of gratitude.

This kid, what an idiot!

Haha, and luckily this guy jumped out, or this young master would have definitely been at a loss.

In his heart, Yan Xueyi felt delighted and was also immensely relieved.

There was another person feeling relieved at that moment.

Naturally, this person was the previous owner of the raw stone.

Initially, he had felt a twinge of regret.

After all, he believed that there must be something good inside the raw stone.

Otherwise, why would Li Changlin have been willing to spend one million five hundred thousand to buy the raw stone from him?

But now, the last trace of regret in this person’s heart had vanished.

At the same time, his feelings toward Li Changlin were tinged with a subtle sense of gratitude.

Such a good man, if not for this idiot, I would have suffered a huge loss just now.

The thought that three hundred thousand was his life’s fortune sent chills down his spine.

I can’t gamble anymore, I really can’t.

If I end up like that fool, it would truly be the end for me.
