Chapter 9 Betting on a Rebound Again

  As long as someone interprets the stone, people will come to watch. When they see that the interpreter is Li Yang, many people start discussing it. Everyone knows about Li Yang's recent big win in guessing the stone, and after seeing him for two consecutive days, many people begin to have the same idea as Zhang Ying.

  Li Yang didn't care about that, he was following the seller to learn how to carve stones, his hands were shaking with excitement, and finally, with the help of the seller, he put down the stone and cutting machine, ready to make the next cut.

  Li Yang chose a cutting point that was not in the middle, where it would directly cut off the green inside. Li Yang chose a position that was more towards the back, which meant only cutting one corner. Seeing Li Yang's performance, there were more people laughing in the crowd, and many people were waiting to see Li Yang make a mistake.

  It's just that when it comes to Li Yang, everyone is jealous of his good luck last time and subconsciously wants him to lose a few more times, so this young man can understand that playing with stones isn't that easy.

  "Look out!"

  With one slash of the knife, the small gambling stone was quickly split in two. The water on the cut surface was wiped clean and the crowd around immediately erupted into a fierce cheer.

  "It's gone up, it's gone up, it's really gone up!"

  Among the two pieces of jade that have been cut open, the larger one has already revealed a bit of light green color. Although it's not very pure and doesn't look as good as the one cut out the day before yesterday, the fact is that this piece of jade has increased in value after being cut.

  Even Lian Na and Zhang Ying were staring blankly at the gambling stone, no one had expected that Li Yang would actually cut open this piece of stone with a very bad feng shui.

  "Little brother, I'll give you 10,000 yuan for this half-gambling wool fabric, will you sell it?"

  In the crowd, someone else made a bid to buy the gambling stone in Li Yang's hand. The gambling stone is like this, as long as it is cut and increased, there will be people who are optimistic about buying it back, because no one knows what it will look like inside until the last moment, and those who do not want to take more risks and see good things are also numerous.

  But Li Yang was clearly not that kind of person. This wool fabric was already a well-known material in his eyes, and he would certainly not sell it at the price of half-worsted wool fabric.

  "I'm not selling, big brother, can you help me get rid of the rest?" Li Yang smiled and shook his head. He couldn't cut this gambling stone anymore, and he wasn't good at polishing it either. If he accidentally polished away some of the green, that would be a loss.

  "Alright, little brother, wait a minute, I'll dig out all the green stuff inside for you!"

  The seller nodded happily, and he didn't have any jealousy towards Li Yang's gamble. In his early years, the seller had also gambled a lot with stones and deeply understood the feeling of being rich or poor with just one cut. He himself had also gambled and risen, even more fiercely than Li Yang, but mostly he had lost, so he didn't feel jealous when others won.

  The diamond sand wheel on the grinder was spinning rapidly, and the seller was carefully polishing a small piece of wool. The people around were pointing at Li Yang, clearly more shocked by his second gamble.

  In less than half an hour, the seller had dug out all the green from this piece of wool, weighing over a kilogram, about the size of a small fist. The whole piece of wool was crystal clear and emerald green, making one's mouth water.

  The seller walked up to Li Yang and said with emotion, "Li, my brother, I must say that your luck is truly amazing. You've gambled three times in a row for three days, and twice you've won big!"

  Li Yang smiled as he took over the pale green jadeite handed over by the seller, which was a piece of very good quality Fuyong jadeite. Although it didn't perform as well as the high-ice yellow-green jadeite from two days ago, the performance of the onion-heart green wasn't bad either. Now that the price of jadeite is skyrocketing, the value of this raw material must be extremely high.

  Li Yang held the cool jade material and looked around, when it was first cut open, there were people bidding, but now nobody bid, making Li Yang wonder how much this piece of jade could be worth, feeling a bit depressed.

  "Li Yang, I'm offering thirty thousand on behalf of the company to buy this material from you. What do you think?" Zhang Ying discreetly gave Li Yang a glance. As someone authorized to represent the company, Zhang Ying had the power to make decisions on purchases under fifty thousand, but for anything above that, he needed to report first. However, for materials like this one priced at thirty thousand, he had full authority to make the call, as long as it was worth the value. If he ended up losing money for the company, his good days would likely come to an end.

  "Three hundred thousand? So many?"

  Li Yang was slightly stunned, this piece of jade and the one from two days ago were different, even Li Yang himself could tell the difference. He thought it would be good to sell for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but unexpectedly it was a high price of 300,000. However, he didn't get too excited about it, after experiencing 1.2 million, 300,000 wasn't anything special.

  Zhang Ying nodded: "This material is currently worth around 300,000 yuan on the market, of course you can also keep it, this high-end jade has a lot of room for appreciation in value!"

  Everyone around was staring at Li Yang, and before he could respond, someone outside finally couldn't help but start bidding, "Young brother, I'll give you 3.2 million, how about letting me have this material?"

  That's why nobody bid earlier, it's because everyone knew that Li Yang is from Anshi Jewelry. Such a thing would definitely be prioritized by their own company first. Now that Anshi Jewelry has made an offer, some people's minds have started to change.

  To know, the price of 320,000 has already made nothing, if you can't process it yourself and find someone to do it, you may still lose money. This boss also has his own difficulties, high-end jade raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce, and the store is already out of stock. If we don't add some goods, customers will probably be lost completely.

  Three hundred and twenty thousand, Li Yang's heart moved slightly, he looked up at Zhang Ying, being able to earn an extra twenty thousand was of course good for Li Yang.

  Zhang Ying's face had completely fallen at this time, he was not angry with Li Yang, but with the boss who made the offer. The 300,000 yuan he offered earlier was already a very fair price, and Li Yang was their company's employee. This person still dared to intervene at this time, it was simply making things difficult for Zhang Ying.

  "I'm really sorry, boss. Before the jade auction today, I had already promised our manager that if we won a good piece of jade, we would sell it to our company. A person cannot be untrustworthy, so all I can do is apologize for your kind intentions!"

  Looking at Zhang Ying's face, Li Yang's eyes turned and he immediately had an idea. He smiled and said to the boss who made the offer, "As expected, Li Yang's words immediately cleared up Zhang Ying's cloudy expression, and it was a sunny day again."

  "Sir, I don't know if our assistant Li's explanation will satisfy you?"

  Zhang Ying had a brilliant smile on his face, but the words that came out of his mouth were not so polite. Anshi Jewelry was the leader in the industry, and as a branch manager, although he was just an employee, he still had some arrogance.

  Last time he explained himself, it was because he didn't want people to feel they were being bullied. But this time is different, the boss of the jewelry company embarrassed him first. If he doesn't say something, people might think Zhang Ying is afraid of trouble.

  "Satisfied, satisfied, Manager Zhang, sorry!"

  The jewelry company shook his head with a wry smile and left, this matter was indeed not handled well by him, to put it bluntly, there was suspicion of poaching, now that the other party's person has come out themselves unwilling to sell at a high price to him, staying any longer would only be more embarrassing.

  After the boss of the jewelry company walked away, Zhang Ying smiled and looked at Li Yang: "Li Yang, the bank is already closed today. Can we make the transfer tomorrow morning?"

  "Alright, whatever you arrange is fine!" Li Yang nodded. He couldn't go to the bank and he was somewhat regretful in his heart, not because of the 300,000 yuan, but because if he didn't go to the bank, then he would have to take this piece of jade worth 300,000 yuan with him tonight. The exhibition center's exhibition area had already closed, and it wasn't possible to temporarily leave it there either.

  This is actually Li Yang's petty peasant mentality. Previously, not to mention 300,000, even things worth 30,000 he had never taken overnight, carrying something worth 300,000 would inevitably make him a bit nervous, having this psychology is also normal, just like people with hundreds of millions in assets holding something worth tens of millions will also be tense.
