Chapter 27: It’s Worth It, We Share the Same Surname!
“Yes!” Lin Beifan nodded. “I’m not very familiar with this industry either, so it doesn’t matter which one we choose! Instead of that, why don’t you give it a try, brother? I believe you won’t disappoint me!”
“But…what if I make the wrong choice?”
“If you make the wrong choice, so be it. We’ve already made 90 million yuan, losing a few million won’t be a big deal. Consider it as spending money to ward off bad luck!” Lin Beifan patted Ye Xingchen’s shoulder encouragingly. “Brother, it’s up to you!”
“Thank you, Boss Lin, for giving me this opportunity!” Ye Xingchen took a deep breath.
I was extremely unhappy that I made you earn tens of millions by accident just now.
But this time, I will make you vomit it all out!
At least make you vomit out 9 million!
Otherwise, I won’t be able to ease my grudge!
With this in mind, the protagonist Ye Xingchen gritted his teeth and pointed to a huge stone, saying, “Boss Lin, what do you think of this stone? I’ve always felt that there’s something good inside!”
This big stone was not their original choice.
Because it was priced at 9.6 million yuan, which was already far beyond their budget.
But now, their funds have expanded to 10 million yuan, so they can afford it.
“Why do you think this stone is good?” Lin Beifan asked.
Ye Xingchen spoke in a simple language, “I think it looks full and solid, as if it exudes an ethereal aura. I believe there must be something good inside once it’s cut open!”
“I’m not very optimistic about this stone!”
It was still the expert who furrowed his brows. “This stone has been here for 5 years! During this time, countless experts have come to see it, but they all couldn’t make up their minds and gave up in the end!”
“This stone was originally priced at 25 million yuan, but no one bought it, so the price was slashed to 9.6 million, almost halved! That’s why I don’t really recommend you to gamble on this stone!”
It can be seen that this expert is still quite helpful.
“Indeed! Although this stone looks decent, its texture is not very good and not regular enough! Based on our past experience, stones like this won’t yield good jade when cut!”
“Even if it does produce jade, it’s most likely bean-grade, which is not worth much!”
“It’s very likely just an ordinary stone!”
“Spending 9.6 million on this stone might turn out to be a waste!”
…
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
The protagonist Ye Xingchen felt disappointed.
He thought Lin Beifan would listen to everyone’s opinions and give up, but he was firm and decisive, saying, “No! I believe in Brother Ye! I want this stone! I believe he can cut out good jade!”
“Young man, this stone really isn’t that good. Why not switch to another one?” an elderly man advised.
Lin Beifan shook his head. “No, I want this one! Since we agreed earlier that I would let my brother choose, it would hurt his feelings if I changed my mind now, wouldn’t it?”
“You might lose a few million…”
“I can afford to lose. It’s just 9 million. I can bear the loss!” Lin Beifan said confidently.
“Thank you, Boss Lin, for your trust!” Ye Xingchen pretended to be touched and grateful.
Lin Beifan patted his shoulder, gave him a trusting look, and then snapped his fingers. “Meiniang, pay the money! And then, cut it for me!”
Then, Liu Rumei paid the money and obtained full ownership of the stone.
Afterward, it was handed over to the original lapidary for cutting.
The protagonist Ye Xingchen felt secretly excited.
Go ahead, cut it!
When no one believes in it, I don’t believe you can cut out anything good!
This time, let’s see if you’ll lose or not!
It’s worth it, we share the same surname!
The lapidary observed the large stone for a moment, then cut off a piece along the surface, only to find nothing.
Everyone let out a disappointed sigh.
Then, the lapidary cut off another piece along the surface, but still found nothing.
Everyone felt disappointed once again.
This continued with the third, fourth…
Continuously for seven or eight pieces, still nothing.
“I told you, this stone won’t yield any good jade!”
“It might even just be an ordinary stone!”
“The young man is going to lose!”
“Not listening to the advice of the elders, he’s facing the consequences!”
…
The protagonist Ye Xingchen also had a disappointed expression.
But deep down, he was very happy.
Yes, that’s right!
If nothing can be cut from it, that’s perfect!
It would be best if the entire piece turns out to be a worthless stone, completely causing him to lose!
But just at that moment, as the lapidary made another cut, a bright green color emerged, exuding a mesmerizing luster.
“It’s green! We see green!”
“This is glass-grade jade! The highest-value glass-grade jade!”
“I’ve never seen such pure green, such flawless green before!”
“It’s going up!!!”
…
