My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 1355 - 1356: Would it be okay to sell it to you for 1 billion?

Chapter 1355: Chapter 1356: Would it be okay to sell it to you for 1 billion?

"If you’re just trying to use this kind of stunt to get my attention and secure that collaboration opportunity, I think you’re being way too childish!"

Liu Dasuan shook his head. "Even a thousand-acre modernized farm wouldn’t be worth three hundred million. What you’re doing is just stupid!"

"That’s right, stupid, absolutely foolish!"

Chang Ziru sneered.

The crowd almost universally understood Xiao Chen’s identity and his intentions, thinking to themselves: A live-in son-in-law is a live-in son-in-law, completely a no-go after all.

But the organizers didn’t care—they seemed afraid Xiao Chen would change his mind and promptly confirmed the sale and rightful ownership of the Stone King.

The Stone King, which had failed to sell even for one hundred million after changing hands through over a dozen venues, was shockingly sold for three hundred million.

For the organizers, this was indeed excellent news.

"Chief Liu, dare to make a bet with me?"

Xiao Chen asked with a sly smile.

"What kind of bet?"

Liu Dasuan asked.

"If this Stone King wins the gamble, I’ll sell it to you for a discounted price, but you must agree to collaborate with Qingyu Company and sell the thousand-acre farm you own in Tonghua City."

Xiao Chen’s intentions were already crystal clear.

In truth, Han Fei’er had guessed it too.

But this bet was undeniably enormous.

"You do realize that unless the Stone King unveils jade worth over three hundred million, it’ll still count as a loss, don’t you? Are you sure you want to play this game?"

Liu Dasuan asked.

"I’m well aware,"

Xiao Chen nodded and added, "If I lose the gamble, I’ll buy your farm at ten times its value. Deal?"

"You certainly aim to benefit no matter what, huh?"

Startled for a moment, Liu Dasuan realized that whether Xiao Chen won or lost, he’d still end up having to sell his farm to Qingyu Company.

This kid was truly cunning.

But ten times the value meant ten billion—he’d make an absolute fortune. Why wouldn’t he agree?

"Deal!"

After all, he was a born gambler.

Gambling with jade was nothing short of thrilling.

This bet was equally exhilarating.

"Alright then, let’s prepare for a live jade cutting,"

Xiao Chen said as he turned to the organizers.

"Quick, quick! Get everything ready for live jade cutting. Bring the stone cutters over; this is both the Stone King and the Banner King!"

The organizers were equally excited. If this Stone King yielded something valuable, it would surely boost their publicity far and wide. Even if it failed, it wouldn’t matter much.

Why let this chance go to waste?

Soon, the tools and the stone cutters arrived.

The stone cutter started the electric cutting machine and made the first cut.

Nothing but white! Not a single trace of jade!

"Hahahaha! Xiao Chen, can you see it now? That first cut went in at least three centimeters deep, and there’s still absolutely nothing! You’ve definitely lost big this time!"

Chang Ziru rejoiced, thriving on Xiao Chen’s misfortune.

Xiao Chen paid him no attention.

He stepped forward and spoke to the stone cutter, "Let me do it myself."

"You know how to cut jade?"

Liu Dasuan looked utterly surprised.

"I know a little,"

Xiao Chen replied, chuckling.

"Oh, stop boasting. You’re just unwilling to admit defeat, huh? Foolishness on top of foolishness, why even bother."

At this moment, Han Fei’er and Flora were visibly tense.

Jiang Meng, on the other hand, beamed with excitement. Her husband had a knack for pulling off miracles in every situation, and she yearned to see him achieve one more.

The sound of the cutting machine echoed once again.

"It’s out! It’s out! Jade has appeared!"

Someone shouted.

With a single cut, Xiao Chen revealed a lush patch of green that captured everyone’s gaze.

Liu Dasuan grew slightly agitated. Judging by that sharp green color, he could tell it was Imperial Green—the crème de la crème of jadeite.

However, how far that green could extend mattered greatly. If it was only a small patch, even Imperial Green wouldn’t fetch a high price.

"Hmph, nothing impressive. The earlier the jade appears, the less likely it’ll go deeper."

Chang Ziru scoffed dismissively.

Yet voices arose around them.

"Young man, I’ll buy this rough stone for one billion right now. Selling now lets you minimize your losses. If you keep cutting, it might end up a bust."

"One billion? I’ll offer one point five billion. Young man, think carefully—lots of rough stones only have a thin layer of jade on the surface and nothing inside."

"Two billion! Two billion, but not a penny more!"

Liu Dasuan couldn’t hold himself back any longer.

Xiao Chen simply shook his head with a smile. "Apologies, I’m not selling. I plan to keep cutting."

As he spoke, he shifted the machine’s angle and sliced into the other end.

With that cut, almost an inch of the stone’s outer layer was shaved off!

Everyone craned their necks in tension, their nerves taut as bowstrings in anticipation. The scene had become electrifying.

"Green! More jade has appeared! Oh my God, young man, I’ll pay four billion! Four billion for it!"

The previous bidder immediately raised his offer.

Hearing this, Flora rushed Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, sell it now! Four billion—you’re making a killing here!"

"I’ll pay five billion!"

Liu Dasuan shouted. "Five billion—I must have this stone."

At this point, Liu Dasuan was full of regret.

If he had known the stone could yield such high-quality jade, he would’ve bought it for two billion without hesitation.

Now he had to fork out five billion.

"Chief Liu, don’t act rashly! We still don’t know how it’ll turn out. Offering five billion when it could very well bust is extremely risky. A full-sized Imperial Green slab is incredibly rare—almost impossible."

Chang Ziru hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Get lost, you blabbermouth!"

Liu Dasuan shoved Chang Ziru aside. If it weren’t for Chang Ziru’s meddling, he might’ve become friends with Xiao Chen. He could’ve struck a better deal and bought the rough stone at a lower price. Now things were much messier. Utterly embarrassing.

"Chief Liu, no rush. Let’s wait until we’ve finished cutting,"

Xiao Chen spoke calmly. Money wasn’t an issue for him, nor did he care for it. Since he was playing the game, he intended to see it through to the end.

Thus, the cutting machine roared back to life and continued working.

"Take a look. It’s not Imperial Green anymore, right?"

Chang Ziru shouted gleefully.

"What the hell do you know? That’s a Glassy Type with Float Flowers! Its price rivals Imperial Green. You call him an idiot, but you’re the real fool here."

Liu Dasuan had no further desire to waste breath on this ignorant man. Fixing his gaze on the increasingly revealed jade, regret crept deeper into his heart.

Xiao Chen then switched to a grinding machine to polish the surface. Some sections were too thin, and cutting might damage the stone, resulting in millions lost.

Jade valued both size and craftsmanship—larger slabs held greater versatility in design. Otherwise, they were relegated to rings or bangles.

"Water!"

Xiao Chen shouted, prompting someone to bring over clean water.

The object—a hefty piece weighing over a hundred kilograms—was effortlessly lifted by Xiao Chen.

He meticulously washed it clean.

"My heavens! This is a Glassy Type with Imperial Green—a supreme-grade jadeite! Its raw value alone could easily exceed ten billion.

Once processed into art pieces, it might fetch a hundred billion!

Such natural gemstones are scarcely found nowadays—I thought they’d already gone extinct!"

Liu Dasuan was overwhelmed with emotion.

He knew now what he had missed. He had missed witnessing the work of a Venerable God.

"Chief Liu, ten billion for this. Take it or leave it?"

Xiao Chen asked with a leisurely smile. "I know you’ve got jewelry ventures both in Harbor City and Platform City."
