Chapter 238: Chapter 235: I Have a Feeling (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
Chen Yu held up the sign, looking at Ye Chen with a smug expression.
"Poor bastard, eight million, dare to chase?"
Ye Chen sneered, "Ten million."
At this point, the bid for the stone had reached ten million, and no one else was raising the price.
Ye Chen looked at Chen Yu, "What, wasn’t Young Master Chen just adamantly claiming he’d take this stone? Giving up so soon?"
Chen Yu gritted his teeth, "Give up? Whoever gives up is the damn grandson."
With that, Chen Yu raised the sign again, "Twelve million."
The crowd erupted.
Although this piece of jade might produce ice jade, twelve million is too risky.
After all, even though the rough stone’s texture and color are decent, the chance of producing a top-grade piece is only about thirty percent.
Ye Chen clapped his hands, "Impressive, congratulations Miss Chen, on winning such a rare rough stone."
"Miss?" Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Chen Yu’s face turned livid with anger.
With a smug expression, he said, "Rongrong, if you become my girlfriend, this twelve million yuan rough stone will be yours."
Ye Chen suddenly laughed, "Rongrong wants rough stone? Your dear brother will give it to you, I’ll take you to pick one right now."
Chen Yu followed closely beside Ye Chen, very curious to see what kind of stone Ye Chen would choose for Li Rongrong.
Ye Chen and Li Rongrong walked in the stone gambling yard.
As they walked, Ye Chen kept an eye on the stones around him.
Everything inside these stones was visible to Ye Chen.
Although there were many rough stones here, most were waste material, with only a few showing potential for green.
Suddenly, Ye Chen’s gaze fell upon a rough stone.
He walked over and picked up the rough stone.
Beside him, Chen Yu’s mocking voice immediately rang out, "Oh dear, I thought you would give Rongrong some priceless stone, look, this is the D-grade section, these raw stones are three thousand each, Ye Chen, you’re really generous."
Seeing the rough stone Ye Chen picked up, Li Rongrong frowned.
Li Rongrong also had some knowledge about rough stones.
The rough stone was covered in cracks; it clearly looked like waste material.
"Ye Chen, you might not understand rough stones, this one has too many cracks, it’s likely a waste stone."
"Rongrong, even if I give you a waste stone, you’d still like it, right?" Ye Chen suddenly looked at Li Rongrong affectionately.
Seeing Ye Chen’s gaze, Li Rongrong’s face blushed and she nodded forcefully.
Beside her, Chen Yu was about to go mad.
He had just spent twelve million on a rough stone, and Li Rongrong didn’t even glance at it.
Yet she treated a three thousand yuan rough stone as a treasure.
Ye Chen glanced at Chen Yu, "This dog food is quite enjoyable, isn’t it?"
"You... punk, your rough stone doesn’t have moss, it can’t produce green, and it’s all cracked. With this quality, if it yields jade, I’d be surprised." Chen Yu snorted coldly. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Ye Chen just smiled faintly, "The stone hasn’t been unveiled yet, who’s to say it won’t produce jade."
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over with Li Kun.
"President Ye, I’ve heard of your name for a long time, I didn’t expect to meet you here today."
Li Kun introduced him, "President Ye, this is Lu Wei, the owner of Jade Pavilion."
"Boss Lu, nice to meet you." Ye Chen smiled and shook hands with him.
Seeing Lu Wei greeting Ye Chen, Chen Yu was momentarily stunned.
Who was Lu Wei, the jade king of Modu, how did he know Ye Chen?
Then, Lu Wei saw the rough stone in Ye Chen’s hand.
"So Mr. Ye is interested in jade as well?"
Ye Chen chuckled, "I’m just casually picking one for fun."
Beside them, Chen Yu couldn’t resist ridiculing, "He gave this three thousand yuan rough stone to Miss Li, haha, gifting a woman with such a stone, only a poor child would do that."
Hearing Chen Yu’s words, Lu Wei’s gaze turned cold, "Chen Yu, Mr. Ye is my esteemed guest, if you dare to speak out of line, don’t blame me for not considering your father’s face and kicking you out."
"You..." Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
Who is this guy, that Lu Wei would rather offend me to please him?
By now, Chen Yu was sensing that Ye Chen’s status was unusual, but thinking about Ye Chen buying a three-thousand-yuan stone for his girlfriend, he still didn’t seem like some formidable figure.
"Hmph, let me see you show off for a little longer, soon I’ll make you embarrassed." Chen Yu gritted his teeth.
Lu Wei took the jade stone and examined it for a while, "Mr. Ye, why don’t I gift you a piece, because this piece really isn’t good."
Ye Chen shook his head, "Not necessarily, my luck is always good, maybe it will be an ice jade?"
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Chen Yu suddenly laughed out loud, "Kid, are you dreaming? If your jade turns out to be ice jade, pigs might as well climb trees."
Lu Wei also shook his head, "Mr. Ye, perhaps you don’t understand stone betting, your piece doesn’t have moss on the shell, and you see, with so many cracks on the surface, it’s very likely waste material."
Ye Chen just smiled faintly, "I believe in my luck, President Lu, try cutting it."
Lu Wei shook his head, he recently heard several business tycoons mention Ye Chen’s name.
Young and accomplished, wealthy, mature, and steady.
Today’s encounter, not as legendary as people say.
However, it might be that Ye Chen’s life has been smooth, making him a bit arrogant, encountering setbacks could be beneficial.
Lu Wei smiled and asked, "President Ye, how would you like to cut it?"
Ye Chen took a marker and said, "Just cut along these three lines."
Lu Wei nodded and handed the stone to the stone technician, "Cut according to what Mr. Ye said."
At this moment, there were many gemstone distributors sitting on the sofas in the reflection arena.
They were waiting for good material to be unveiled so they could purchase.
This way is much safer than choosing the rough stone oneself.
They were actually eyeing Chen Yu’s piece of rough stone.
Regarding Ye Chen’s three thousand yuan piece, they could only laugh.
A three-thousand-yuan rough stone has a very low chance of yielding jade.
Moreover, this is a completely flawed rough stone.
The stone technician began cutting the stone.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Ye Chen’s piece.
Sssss!
Soon, the stone was cut open.
The result was a gray stone.
Everyone secretly shook their heads.
As expected, it was just waste material.
Lu Wei also looked like he had expected the outcome and laughed, "Brother Ye, stone betting is like this, but don’t lose heart, I’ll teach you how to pick rough stones later."
Ye Chen picked up the stone again and drew a line with the marker, "This time, cut here."
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, several distributors were disgruntled.
"Brother, that’s waste material, don’t waste everyone’s time, alright?"
"Exactly, using a three-thousand-piece waste material to make a scene."
Listening to the crowd’s murmurs, Chen Yu looked smug.
Ye Chen just smiled faintly, "I have a feeling, if you cut here, green will definitely appear."
