Chapter 49 Twenty-four Million Dollars
"Li, can you stop being so insulting every time you talk? What do you mean by it's just dumb luck? Why don't show us what you can do? Didn't you call yourself an expert at stone gambling? Show me what you can do!" Without Ye Chen speaking, Zhang Jingshan immediately helped him back.
"Okay, I'll let you see what I got, aren't there three more rough stones next? Let's play this bet to the end, do you dare to challenge?" Li Mu smiled coldly.
"Is there anything that I, Zhang Jingshan, dare not? Over the years, whenever you, Li Mu, want to play with me, when have I, Zhang Jingshan, not accompanied you until the end?" Zhang Jingshan were not backing down.
Even if he knew that his knowledge and experience in gambling stones was incomparable to Li Mu, but he still would not back down.
Because of Ye Chen, he seemed to have completely believed in Ye Chen's divine intuition.
More importantly, Zhang Jingshan would never say anything about chickening out especially in front of Li Mu!
"Great, then let's play big on the next three stones!" Although he just lost a million dollars bet, but at this moment, Li Mu still had the chance to win.
Zhang Jingshan snorted coldly.
Then he looked at Ye Chen subconsciously, and Ye Chen slightly nodded back at him.
Soon.
"This is stone No. 17, a rough stone from Laokeng. This stone might be the glassy species, starting at 300,000 dollars. Is anyone interested?" The middle-aged man in charge asked with a smile.
"I want it!" A wealthy businessman who took a professional torch to the stone for a while before replied immediately.
"I'll pay it at 400,000 dollars!" Ye Chen, who didn't even turn on the flashlight, opened his mouth after just looking around the stones carefully.
As soon as his words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
Was this still in the bidding?
It was said that there was a possibility of opening up a glassy species jadeite, but by looking at the surface of the stone and its skin, it did not necessarily mean that there was a big chance of opening up that species of jadeite!
"Forty-two thousand dollars!" The rich businessman frowned.
Was Ye Chen trying to mess with him?
"Half a million!" Ye Chen didn't even think twice about it.
"No, are you really sure that there's definitely a glassy species in it?" The rich businessman was stunned.
"I just want to bet on it, hehe, or why don't you let me have it?" Ye Chen grinned harmlessly.
"Five hundred and twenty thousand dollars!" The rich businessman ignored him and continued to raise the price.
"Six hundred thousand dollars!" Ye Chen smiled and shouted again.
"You..." The rich businessman was so angry that his face turned red.
A material of 300,000 dollars was hiked up to 600,000 dollars?
Was he fucking sick?
Not to mention that its value was likely to collapse after opening it. Even if there was really a glassy species jadeite, however, if it was a small and low-quality piece, those who bought it would also lose a lot of money.
Although few hundred thousands dollars were not a big deal for the wealthy businessmen, but that did not mean his money was grown on trees.
After Ye Chen shouted 600,000 dollars, he gave up.
"What an idiot!"
Seeing Ye Chen lifted the price to 600,000 dollars, Li Mu sneered and shook his head.
If this stone could really open a glassy species, he would run naked for an hour!
"General Manager Zhang, I say that this stone isn't a glassy species jadeite!" After that piece of stone was taken by Ye Chen for 600,000 dollars, Li Mu playfully said to Zhang Jingshan.
"I can tell it's going to open a glassy species, say it, what do you want to bet this time?" Zhang Jingshan asked bluntly.
"Let's not talk about what species it's going to open, if its value's worth more than 600,000 dollars, I will lose 3 million dollars to you and same goes to you, how about that?" Li Mu suggested.
"Alright, three million it is!" Zhang Jingshan agreed without a thought.
Everyone at the scene thought that these two young masters were crazy!
They never heard of people would take this kind of thing as a lucky draw!
Of course, more people thought that Zhang Jingshan was even more crazy, because the success rate in stone gambling was far lower than the failure rate.
Right after the lucky draw of these two young masters was set, the middle-aged man in charge of stones gambling asked Ye Chen with a smile. "Sir, do you want to cut it now?"
"Cut it!" Ye Chen replied.
"Alright!"
A few minutes later.
In a crowd of onlookers.
According to Ye Chen's request, the master cutter cut it with one stroke.
Immediately, an unbelievable uproar filled the whole room!
"It's a glassy species!"
"Oh my God, this, could it be a full flesh vitreous type?"
"It's glowing, and it's even a glowing solid colour glass species, fuck it!"
"If it is really full flesh vitreous type, this piece of material will skyrocket dozens of times!"
The exclamations continued one after another.
Li Mu was stunned!
Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng were also dumbfounded.
First, it was the high-quality old-blue-water type jadeite with flowing snow cotton.
Now, it was a solid-coloured glassy species that glowed.
Did he, did he had the ability to fucking see-through?
"Sir, six million dollars, sell it to me at six million dollars!''
It was only cut on one side, but the moment they saw the glittering glass species inside, someone excitedly immediately asked for the price.
But Ye Chen was indifferent and said to the cutting master again, "Give another cut here!"
Following Ye Chen's request, the master cutter slashed in the opposite direction again.
Same as the first time, the stone was full of fluorescent glass species! No impurities at all in both cut surfaces.
This stone basically could be determined as full flesh vitreous type!
What was the meaning of full flesh vitreous type?
That was, other than the skin of the stone, every all of which were fluorescent glass species!
"Don't cut it, don't cut it anymore, I want it at 20 million dollars, 20 million dollars!" The buyer just now was afraid that Ye Chen would impulsively waste that stone again.
Another wealthy businessman shouted anxiously. "Based on the weight of this material, at least a few objects can be made from it. 20 million dollars is definitely a lot of money. 24 million dollars, I'll take it if you want!"
"I'm not letting the master cutter to cut anymore," Ye Chen smiled.
"This..." The wealthy businessman paused for a moment, then quickly leaned over and looked at the dazzling jade with a professional torch and a magnifying glass.
After a while, without bargaining at the price again, "Well, it's 24 million, deal!"
600,000 dollars of stone, won 24 million dollars!
The whole place went crazy again, and the first wealthy businessman who gave up bidding with Ye Chen to the end just now regretfully beat his chest.
Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng, who witnessed all of this, could not help twitching the corners of their mouths.
They finally knew why did Ye Chen let out the black Usha that had skyrocketed tenfold just now.
That was because Ye Chen was not interested in that merely one million dollars!
A rough stone worth of 130,000 dollars, was shot up to 1.3 million dollars when what's inside was an old-blue-water type jadeite with floating flowers.
Another rough stone of 600,000 dollars, was then opened to a fluorescent vitreous species that its price went up to 24 million dollars.
Could this still be described as lucky?
Watching the picture of Ye Chen and the wealthy businessman transferring money in front of his laptop, Zhang Jingshan's mind went blank and could not say anything.
''Fuck, what kind of luck did this gambler have?'' Li Mu, who always regarded himself as a gentleman and rarely being rude, also shuddered and muttered to himself incredulously.
Normally, it was already considered very lucky when people could win their bet on one stone, but Ye Chen had been betting on two stones consecutively that one had skyrocketed tenfold and the other at forty times of the selling price!
Did this motherfucker have the ability to foresee?
''Li, three million dollars, plus the one million dollars just now, four million dollars in total!'' After calming himself down, Zhang Jingshan told Li Mu at the first moment.
"It's not over yet, why are you in a hurry?" Li Mu shook his head, his expression became ugly.
"OK, then let's continue!" Zhang Jingshan replied.
At this time, Ye Chen who completed his transaction also returned to Zhang Jingshan's side.
"Mr. Ye, I'm convinced, you really killed it!" Zhang Jingshan said in a low voice, but could not hide his admiration in his voice.
Thinking that he could not even make a few millions in a year no matter how hard and desperately he tried to run that broken company.
As for Ye Chen, the deposit subscription book that he spent 200,000 dollars on in the Jin Lin Mansion was sold at a price of 4 million dollars in just three days.
Now, a rough stone worth 600,000 dollars had been sold for another 24 million dollars.
This man, what kind of strange man was he?
