Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Ye Xuan, the Bargain Hunter King

Ye Xuan walked past several selling areas consecutively. The raw stones here were quite expensive. After a quick glance, he frowned and shook his head.

Seeing this, Wei Hongjun laughed and said, "Kid, you don’t need to save money for me. You just need to pick the best raw stones for me. Money is not an issue."

He thought Ye Xuan hadn’t chosen any appealing raw stones until now because he was intimidated by the expensive prices and felt embarrassed to speak up.

Hearing that, Ye Xuan smiled and looked at Wei Hongjun, "Don’t worry, Mr. Wei, I won’t try to save your money."

Wei Hongjun was startled. Ye Xuan’s smile suddenly made him feel an urge in his heart, as if he was about to be swindled.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought. As long as he could pick out high-quality jade raw stones, he wouldn’t care if he had to spend a bit more money.

They continued looking around.

After browsing through the expensive section, Ye Xuan headed towards the lower-priced raw stones area.

Seeing this, Wei Hongjun put down the stone he was looking at, hurriedly followed, and the surrounding crowd who were watching exchanged glances and followed as well.

Ye Xuan casually inspected a few stores and suddenly, lightly exclaimed in surprise and stopped in front of a raw stone.

The stone in front of him was enormous, weighing over a hundred kilograms. The raw stone was yellowish-brown all over and had a very rough surface, uneven and pitted – just like the surface of the moon.

It was covered in numerous cracks, crisscrossing everywhere; it looked even uglier than ordinary stones found commonly on mountains, a piece that could simply be considered waste.

Despite its massive size, the price of the stone was disproportionately low, only in the hundreds of thousands.

Compared to the stones that easily cost millions before, this stone was undoubtedly cheap!

After circling around the stone twice, Ye Xuan showed a trace of interest, then squatted down and knocked on it with his hand.

The people who followed were puzzled seeing Ye Xuan inspecting a hideous boulder, sizing it up and down, and even patting it.

At that moment, Ye Xuan stopped knocking, followed the lines on the stone to check it and then pressed his ear to it, as if listening for something.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s series of odd actions, the crowd’s curiosity deepened, but they didn’t make a sound to interrupt and continued to watch.

After about ten minutes, Ye Xuan raised his head, rubbed his chin, nodded, and said to Wei Hongjun, "You can buy this stone."

Hm?

When Ye Xuan spoke, suggesting that Wei Hongjun should buy this stone, everyone was stunned.

They wondered if they had heard wrong?

Those present somewhat understood stone gambling.

Such large stones, which had just been quarried, typically did not hold much value.

Whether in terms of aesthetic appeal on the exterior or the translucency of the jade inside, they belonged to the lowest grade of the inferior type, and it was still uncertain whether there was any jade at all!

If there was jade, it would be of low-quality jade without any value, only suitable for sale at roadside stalls after being crafted into products.

This type of stone was considered one of the worst among raw stones, otherwise, such a large piece of raw stone would not be priced so cheaply.

But Ye Xuan was actually suggesting that Wei Hongjun buy this worst and lowest quality stone - wasn’t this deliberately provoking trouble?

However...

Wouldn’t this make for an even better show?

One by one, the crowd looked at Wei Hongjun, their eyes filled with a thick sense of mockery.

This Mr. Wei, a big name in the jewelry industry, probably had never bought such cheap, poor-quality stones in his life.

He spent a million to invite Ye Xuan to pick raw stones for him, but it turned out to be a slap in his own face!

At this moment, even Wei Hongjun’s face was turning from pale to red in waves, looking quite unsettled.

For the first time! He doubted whether his judgement had been mistaken.

Could it be...that this young man was relying solely on luck, rather than true skill?

Wei Hongjun furrowed his brows tightly and looked up at the ugly boulder in front of him.

Such poor-quality stone material, not only for himself, but even a novice in Stone Cutting would be able to tell that the chance of finding jade inside was slim!

If Ye Xuan really had a good eye, he wouldn’t have missed this point, but why did he still let him make the purchase?

"Little brother, are you sure there will be jade in here?"

Wei Hongjun couldn’t help but ask, suspecting that Ye Xuan might be joking with him.

"You buy it or not! I’ve already told you, the rest is none of my business."

Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders, clearly understanding what was on Wei Hongjun’s mind.

However, what needed to be said had been said, whether to buy or not was up to the latter!

"Sister, let’s go look elsewhere."

Ye Xuan said to Liu Ying and no longer paid attention to Wei Hongjun as they walked towards another selling area together.

Wei Hongjun stood there alone, stunned, watching the departing figures of Ye Xuan and Liu Ying, his expression growing gloomier and uglier.

And seeing this scene, a mocking smile appeared on everyone’s faces, confirming that Ye Xuan was indeed just relying on his good fortune to have stumbled upon a bargain, and in truth, he knew nothing about Stone Cutting!

At the same time.

Seeing Wei Hongjun’s darkened face, Zhang Jun couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

"This kid’s luck has run out, and he can’t pretend any longer! Anyone can see that this ugly boulder is the lowest grade among all the stones. Yet, he had Wei Hongjun buy such rough material, and the real show is about to begin! Hahaha..."

At that moment, Zhang Jun felt extremely relieved, like eating ice cream on a hot June day, feeling refreshing from head to toe.

Soon, when Wei Hongjun cuts open this rough material and sees the quality of the jade inside, he might just want to kill Ye Xuan!

"Boss Wei, do you want to buy this stone material..."

At that time, a man wearing a work badge cautiously approached Wei Hongjun and asked while observing his expression.

He knew that Wei Hongjun used to come here to gamble on stones and would never patronize their low-priced selling area; he always chose the high-priced ones, spending millions on top-tier stone materials at once.

With this kind of low-quality rough stone, he really didn’t hold out much hope that the other party would purchase it!

Wei Hongjun furrowed his brows tightly, hesitating for a moment.

After looking at Ye Xuan’s departing figure, he finally chose to trust his instincts, gritting his teeth and said, "I’ll buy it! Move this stone to the Stone Cutting area."

It was only about a few hundred thousand, and he wasn’t lacking that amount of money; if what Ye Xuan said turned out to be true, then it couldn’t be better!

If it really was a waste material, then he would consider it paying for a lesson.

The transaction was settled, and Wei Hongjun immediately paid, then hurriedly walked towards where Ye Xuan had gone.

However, as he approached, the corner of his mouth twitched and his face filled with frustration.

Because at that moment, Ye Xuan was squatting in front of a pile of waste, holding a cut open piece of useless stone, and playing with it with great interest.

For fuck’s sake, this bastard was getting addicted to finding bargains? Specifically coming here to pick out waste stones!

This guy really was a true master of finding bargains!
