Chapter 197: Chapter 148: Eight Hundred Thousand, All Black!

Elder Lin was a well-known figure, and these bosses knew they couldn’t take him for a ride, so the bidding was relatively honest, and the price immediately soared.

Boss Qian and the others were envious, but the deal was already done, and there was no reason for them to sell to you, so they could only feel envious and a bit bitter.

As for Zhou Ran and the others, there was even less need to mention them.

They felt choked, extremely choked!

Fortunately, Li Run didn’t have a clue about Gambling Stones; he just thought that if the other party’s lousy rock could yield jade, his would certainly make more money.

A million was a sure thing!

So, he remained calm.

But little did he know that Li Yuan was already not so calm.

Damn, the other party just got lucky with the dog’s poo!

The previous advantage had been completely wiped out, but thankfully, Old Man Lin was not one of Elder Tang’s kind...

Still good, still good!

In the end, it was a local jeweler who offered a high price of 800,000 and said to Lin Chuxiao, "Miss, I’ll offer 800,000... to buy your jade, but I wonder how much you bought this rough stone for? It must be the best opening of the day."

In his words, he didn’t seem to take the jade turned out by Li Yuan and the others seriously anymore.

This made Li Yuan and the others feel even more choked up.

Lin Chuxiao was still dazed by the 800,000 and couldn’t believe it; when asked, she reflexively replied, "Ah? How much? 50,000? 30,000? Sui Yi... how much was it?"

"Fifty-three thousand," Sui Yi said lightly.

Fifty-three thousand!

That’s more than tenfold in profit!

Everyone sighed in awe and envy, but at least it wasn’t a huge fortune.

At that moment, Lin Chuxiao didn’t know how to handle the jade and looked towards Sui Yi...

Elder Lin was instantly annoyed, damn it, grandpa is here, why are you looking at Sui Yi!

"Sui Yi, you paid for the jade... it’s up to you!" Lin Chuxiao said this, which actually made Sui Yi laugh.

"I just helped you with the payment, it has nothing to do with me. Of course, later, you’ll still have to repay me that fifty-three thousand," Sui Yi said lightly, making Lin Chuxiao startle, huh, who would just give away money?

"No way, you have to take at least half!"

Sui Yi shook his head, looked at Elder Lin, and said, "Elder Lin, you help her take care of it, after it’s sold, just pay me back."

Okay, Elder Lin knew people well, he knew that if the girl said no, she meant it, plus she had easily gifted a jade cicada worth millions to Elder Tang, why would she care about a mere few hundred thousand?

"Alright, Xiao Xiao, let’s sell this jade, 800,000; save it for your dowry!"

With those words, Lin Chuxiao immediately came back to her senses.

"Huh? That’s all my dowry? Dammit! Are you still my grandpa?"

Pfft!

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Elder Lin was also embarrassed and quickly tried to comfort Lin Chuxiao, my granddaughter, there’s no way your dowry could only be this little...

Lin Chuxiao had made quite a profit, but Zhou Ran was feeling somewhat unwilling. Because of his unwillingness, Li Run immediately signaled for the stone to be cut, thinking that their stone was so much better than theirs, how could it be without jade!

"Heh, it seems you’re rather lucky... but Gambling Stones, you can’t just rely on luck," he said, then called over Zhang Guangbiao to cut his stone.

Zhang Guangbiao was somewhat dissatisfied with his commanding tone, but he put up with it and made a cut!

Without even marking the line!

As a result...

Scraaatch!

A dusty cut surface, with nothing on it.

"Ha, it’s a bust!"

"It is a bust!"

In the face of such a direct cut, everyone shouted as they saw it, especially Lin Chuxiao, who was quite smug!

Li Run couldn’t believe it, and Zhou Ran’s expression collapsed.

Nothing at all?

How could this be...

Zhou Ran had prided himself on learning a lot recently, and he should have known better than a clueless person like Sui Yi, so how could the rough stone he selected have no jade at all...

"I don’t believe it, cut it again!" Li Run bellowed.

Zhang Guangbiao looked at him with contempt, sneered and said, "Cut, then cut!"

Scraaatch, scraaatch!

Three consecutive cuts.

Still nothing.

Li Run looked miserable, and Qian Shuangyu also felt the pain, my money...

Really, these few people, including Qian Shuangyu, were naive and overly optimistic.

"Ha, some people are thinking too much, Gambling Stones, it’s all about luck!" Lin Chuxiao threw in a rather sharp comment.

Li Run’s anger intensified, and he turned away.

"Elder Zheng, wasn’t it you who said there was jade in this rough? Why is there nothing!"

Damn! Is this how you talk to someone?

Elder Zheng was internally wounded; he was just helping to look at the rough, not to directly spot jade; if he was that amazing, who the hell would be cooped up in that company for that salary!
