Chapter 350: Chapter 246 Yellow Jade_2

"What a huge piece of Yellow Jade!"

Indeed, it might not be considered large among all the freshly cut jade pieces, but among the medium-grade jade varieties, especially within the jade category, this size was definitely not small.

"Up, way up, go buy fireworks!" Big Brother Tang was so happy that he immediately dragged Yu Quan and two others to buy fireworks. There was actually a vendor selling fireworks not far away, since it was the jade cutting area after all. But the whole idea of buying fireworks after a price increase was a bit confusing for Gong Jiu. Had not I just had a price increase too? Why did nobody remind me to buy fireworks?

In fact, at that moment, everyone was too caught up in the excitement to think about it, as both Gong Jiu and Pan Ling seemed to be locked in a subtle battle of wits while cutting the stone. People were too busy watching the excitement to remember the tradition of setting off fireworks. Now, with Elder Tang’s shout, many people suddenly remembered and began digging into their pockets to buy fireworks...

Hey, this isn’t your rough stone; why are you buying fireworks?

It’s actually just a way of sharing in the good fortune and luck. Setting off fireworks for someone else might just bring good luck to our own rough stones next time!

Pan Ling, who had previously cut a piece of valuable rough stone, was not in a good mood, and Hu Yuan and his group looked as though they had swallowed dung, watching helplessly as the large piece of jade revealed its beautiful water-yellow hue under the blazing sun.

"Miss, Miss, I’ll offer forty million..." The merchant who couldn’t hold back his bid reignited the bidding prologue.

"Pah, Old Zheng, you really think you can offer forty million... I’ll offer forty-two million!"

After everyone started bidding fiercely, the price quickly soared to fifty million.

Fifty million, which was ten million more than Sui Yi’s initial estimate. However, she already had a good understanding of the market value of the Yellow Jade and remained calm.

"I offer fifty-one million!" Boss Niu shouted loudly, overpowering the previous bidder. But he paused abruptly and turned to ask Sui Yi anxiously, "Miss, Miss, are you selling or not? Please don’t say you won’t sell..."

His hands tightly wringing a towel in a simple, nervous manner was amusing to witness. Sui Yi slightly raised her eyebrows and nodded subtly.

Sell!

Oh my, she’s really selling it!

The multitude of merchants was overjoyed immediately!

Jiang Yuan and Li Yong were also surprised, having thought she wouldn’t sell...

Hu Yuan also turned his eyes and bid, much to Hu Jie’s dissatisfaction, who exclaimed, "Dad, why are you buying her jade! What’s there to buy..."

Well, everyone was taken aback, then they all laughed.

It seemed like the Hu Family was on the verge of collapse. Had Hu Yuan stuffed his head with carrots? Bringing such a troublesome fool to the Public Trading Platform...

"Is this a question of whether you’re going to buy or not? More like whether you can afford to buy it," someone commented.

"No, it should be said that it’s a question of whether Miss Sui will sell or not," another chimed in.

They had seen the Hu Family repeatedly cause trouble for Sui Yi. It was one thing to compete in bidding, but to actively provoke the issue was just...

The people from the Hu Family were looking grim and stayed silent, with Hu Yuan’s face especially unpleasant.

Zou Xueqin was momentarily surprised, but quickly responded: "I offer fifty-two million."

"Fifty-five million," Jiang Yun finally spoke up. Being from Hong Kong, Hong Kongers believe even more firmly in the concepts of luck and Feng Shui than mainlanders, so he was absolutely determined to have the Yellow Jade.

Seeing three wealthy capitalists all entering the fray, the competition clearly turned muddy, churning and rolling, leaving the outcome uncertain...

Boss Niu started to wipe the sweat off his forehead again. With Zou Xueqin mixing in, along with these two foreigners, the pressure felt quite substantial...

"Sixty million," Xiao Xianting said decisively, having been as steady as Mount Tai until now. With just one firm declaration, he silenced everyone else’s competing bids.

Sixty million was already the limit and seemed to just hit the psychological price point for the others.

No, it should be said, it was right at the psychological price point where they dared to compete with Xiao Lang. If the price went higher... the meaning would be different.

Zou Xueqin’s smile rippled slightly: "Sixty million, Mr. Xiao truly maintains his generous spirit as always. However, this time Zou is rather fond of this piece of Yellow Jade and must insist on not giving up... Sixty-one million!"

"I like it very much, too," Li Yong narrowed his eyes, a fleeting sharpness passing through them.

A few million difference didn’t matter to them, but they couldn’t let Xiao Xianting have all the glory, so this piece of Yellow Jade...

Xiao Xianting appeared nonchalant, and the hostility from those before him only darkened his gaze slightly, his lips curving into a half-smile, "Unfortunately, I also like this piece of jade very much... and what I like, I don’t let others take away."

A wolf is a wolf; once he has set his sights on the prey, he is unwilling to let anyone else snatch it away, regardless of any past he had with the Li Family. They must compete openly, not to mention behind-the-scenes, not to mention his own personal business!

The wolf opened its mouth, about to bare its fangs...

Li Yong suddenly felt an intimidating chill and realized why his old friends were all so wary of this junior. That ferocious instinct alone was enough to weigh heavily on all of their backs, to even crush these seniors...

This was Xiao Lang!

The ruthless and domineering Xiao Lang.

Pan Ling’s eyes were frozen in place.

Just as the tension reached its peak and everyone waited for Xiao Xianting to deliver the fatal blow, and how Zou Xueqin and the others would respond...

"Divide it into four parts,"

Unexpected, quiet, like a splash of cold spring water, Xiao Xianting suddenly turned his head to look at Sui Yi, his gaze deep and cold: "Divide into four parts?"

Was it you who said that?

Sui Yi returned his gaze with calmness and instructed her teacher, "Divide it into four parts, no need to be too equal, approximately will do."

She then turned towards Jiang Yun and the others: "Would the two elders like to have a part each?"

Man, this was... Jiang Yun immediately laughed, "Willing, of course I’m willing, thank you very much, young lady."(To be continued. If you like this novel, you’re welcome to recommend it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
