Chapter 784: Chapter 785 Provincial Capital Jade Stone Appreciation Event_1
To attract viewership, Endless live streaming platform would likely not reject such a bet, and it’s very possible that they’d even do some related promotions on various major media platforms.
As for these matters, Li Changlin naturally had no interest in understanding them, as he now had too many things to do.
The appointed time with Tang Hongyuan had arrived, and before receiving any messages from the Feixue Legion, he needed to resolve this matter first.
Although Tang Hongyuan simply invested ten million to gamble on stones, with the help of Clairvoyance Potion, Li Changlin believed he could definitely make a big profit.
With this thought in mind, he took Ye Xiyao and rushed to the provincial city.
Qian Ziwei, who was managing the food shop, naturally didn’t have the time to come with Li Changlin.
As for Ye Xiyao, her investment studio in the provincial city had officially opened for business, so this trip also served the purpose of inspection.
This time, Li Changlin arrived in a car arranged by Bai Zicong.
Helpless, Li Changlin could now drive, but after all, he did not have a driver’s license.
As for Ye Xiyao, although she had a driver’s license, how could Li Changlin have the heart to let her drive?
So, with no other choice, he turned to Bai Zicong for help.
Upon arriving in the provincial city, Li Changlin contacted Tang Hongyuan, and following his directions, the car sped to the Jincheng Jade Antique Market.
Seeing the car arrive, Tang Hongyuan, who had been waiting under the archway, immediately hurried over and opened the rear car door, "Mr. Li, welcome to the provincial city."
The jade and antique appreciation event had already commenced, and Tang Hongyuan was growing impatient.
However, his composure was quite good, and he did not show any sign of irritation.
Of course, facing Li Changlin, Tang Hongyuan actually had no need to behave in this way.
As long as Li Changlin had genuine skills, there would definitely be plenty of opportunities in stone gambling.
And after all, Li Changlin was not his subordinate, so why should he listen to him?
The two were merely in a partnership, and the fact that Li Changlin had made it there was already giving him face.
If Li Changlin were truly capable, why would he partner with him? With Li Changlin’s abilities, he could entirely find more suitable partners.
"I kept you waiting, Brother Tang," Li Changlin said with a smile and a nod, then stepped out of the car.
On the side, the driver also opened the door on the other side, and Ye Xiyao, who was wearing a mask, subsequently got out of the car.
"Xiao Kang, go help this brother park the car," said Tang Hongyuan, gesturing for one of his men as he met Li Changlin getting out of the car.
The Tang Family descendant called Xiao Kang quickly ran over, the driver handed him the car keys, and then they followed Tang Hongyuan into the archway.
Once inside the Jade Antique Market, Li Changlin found it to be unbelievably crowded.
The size of the Jincheng Jade Antique Market was definitely beyond comparison with Jincheng.
"It’s gone up, it’s gone up, dammit, it’s gone up again!"
"Hey, brother, sell this raw stone to me, I’ll take it for three hundred thousand."
"I’ll offer three hundred and fifty thousand, young man, sell me the raw stone, I guarantee you won’t lose out."
"That’s right, that’s right, Boss Liao’s credibility in our circle is quite good."
Following Tang Hongyuan a short distance forward, Li Changlin heard a cacophony of noise ringing in his ears.
Hearing these sounds, he immediately felt something stir within him, and couldn’t help but stamp his foot and look to the right.
On the right hand side, there was a shop.
Next to the shop, a line of cutting machines was set up, and at this moment, dozens of people were gathered around one, discussing animatedly.
"Quite lively, huh!" Li Changlin smiled and nodded, recalling the original stone he cut at the Jincheng Antique Market, which also attracted a bidding frenzy.
"Brother Li, does this scene seem familiar?" Tang Hongyuan turned his head, saw Li Changlin looking towards the raw jade shop on the right, and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Indeed, I remember that time when good jade was uncovered, Brother Tang you also joined the bidding." Li Changlin smiled, but made no move to go over.
That area was already crowded with people, and besides, there were more pressing matters to attend to, so it seemed unnecessary to join the commotion.
"These people are of the lower tiers, let’s head over there." Tang Hongyuan also smiled and nodded, then extended his hand to point towards a building not far off.
"Sure, then I’ll trouble Brother Tang." Li Changlin was happy to follow the host’s lead, and so the group moved on forward.
Before long, they arrived in front of the building.
This was a five-story building, and Tang Hongyuan led the group straight to the second floor.
The second floor was divided into two large halls, east and west, with the eastern hall covering over a thousand square feet. The current market’s gambling stone convention was taking place in the eastern hall.
The doors to the hall were closed tight, and no staff seemed to be assigned there. Li Changlin and the other two were somewhat taken aback when Tang Hongyuan suddenly took out an access card.
He swiped the card in the slot beside the door, and the tightly closed doors automatically opened.
"After you, Brother Li." Tang Hongyuan smiled and made a welcoming gesture. Li Changlin nodded, entering the hall with Ye Xiyao and the driver.
Following them, Tang Hongyuan also entered, and the doors of the hall closed automatically behind them.
"Quite high-tech!" The driver, a former soldier, looked around the hall curiously and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Li Changlin looked around and realized that the hall wasn’t very crowded, with probably only a hundred or two hundred people present.
There were about twenty piles of rough stones placed around the hall.
Each pile of rough stones occupied several dozen square feet.
The twenty or so piles of rough stones took up about half of the space.
But for such a large hall, there were indeed few people.
"Brother Li, let’s just have a look around, and if you see anything you like, please don’t be shy. I’ve prepared ten million today just for the fun of it," Tang Hongyuan said with a laugh as he led everyone to a pile of rough stones and struck a generous pose.
In reality, that ten million was all of Tang Hongyuan’s net worth, and he wasn’t as carefree as he claimed.
The reason for choosing to cooperate with Li Changlin was, of course, Tang Hongyuan’s desire to make money.
But as they say, "It’s better to lose money than face," Tang Hongyuan certainly didn’t want to appear lesser to Li Changlin.
"Alright, let’s take a look then." Li Changlin nodded and discreetly used a bottle of Clairvoyance Potion.
Suddenly, the rough blocks in front of him all turned transparent in Li Changlin’s eyes.
All kinds of hidden jade and other stones within the raw material were now fully exposed to Li Changlin’s view.
In Li Changlin’s opinion, there indeed were some fine treasures among these piles of rough stones.
Only thing is, the blocks of rough stone here were not cheap.
Li Changlin gestured for a staff member to provide him with a price list.
After a brief glance at the list, Li Changlin had a clear idea in his mind.
