Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Provocation_1

After the meal, the group took a minibus arranged by the hotel and arrived at Jin City Jade Market.

Only the people from their table went, other staff members from the production team did not go and did whatever they had to do.

"Everyone, Jiecheng Auction and the Jadeite Trading Market have jointly launched a promotion today. Our company will purchase jadeite on site, and after the market closes, we will calculate whose jadeite sold to us is of the highest value, and they will receive a cash reward of eight million."

As they entered the Jade Market, Han Deming gave a brief introduction and then mentioned this arrangement.

"Old Han, your Jiecheng Auction house is really playing a smart game," Du Zhenqi laughed.

The others also nodded in agreement, smiling.

They were all shrewd people and quickly understood the implications.

With the temptation of an eight million reward, many who bought raw stones and found jade in them, especially those with higher valued jadeite, would definitely be willing to sell to Jiecheng Auction.

By doing this, Jiecheng Auction would not have to worry about not getting good jadeite.

Acquiring these jadeite stones and auctioning them off could definitely mean big profits.

It might seem like the eight million reward offered by Jiecheng Auction is a lot.

However, the jadeite they purchase is definitely at the usual market price.

They’re already making a profit there.

Then by auctioning off the jadeite, the prices will soar even higher.

In the end, the money made will far exceed eight million.

It must be said that this move alone could earn Jiecheng Auction a tidy sum.

Sometimes, with resources and connections, plus good ideas, making money can be really easy.

"Mr. Du, our purchase price is definitely based on market value, fair to both old and young; it’s a win-win deal, haha," Han Deming laughed.

It was now afternoon, and the Jade Market was bustling.

Many shops had placed their jadeite raw stones at the entrance, with staff members occasionally calling out to attract attention.

Some small vendors simply found a spot, set up a stall, and placed a bunch of jadeite raw stones of various sizes on top.

Of course, these small vendors could not compare to the store owners.

The biggest stones from the small vendors were only about the size of a bucket or face basin, nothing larger.

Unlike the stores, where some huge blocks of raw jadeite were displayed out front like a small mountain.

This business relies entirely on one’s eye for quality.

The size of the jadeite raw stone isn’t that important; what’s important is whether there’s good jadeite inside, otherwise, even a large raw stone is useless.

The prices for these jadeite raw stones are all clearly marked, and they are basically over ten thousand yuan each; there are very few below ten thousand.

Without substantial finances, coming here would only amount to joining in the buzz, with no chance of striking it rich quickly.

Thinking of spending a few thousand yuan on a stone and then finding supreme quality jadeite worth millions or tens of millions is an extremely unlikely probability.

...

Chen Yuting and Liu Chao wandered around the Jade Market.

They had come right after eating.

They had been at this place for nearly an hour.

Seeing that Liu Chao looked around but showed no intention of buying raw stones, Chen Yuting couldn’t help but say, "Liu Chao, you’ve been looking for so long, aren’t you going to teach me how to choose?"

She was hoping to rely on Liu Chao to help choose a raw stone, find jade inside, sell it to get money, and pay off her debts of over a hundred.

"Yuting, don’t be anxious. You don’t have experience in stone gambling and aren’t aware of the situation in this industry," he said.

"The water runs very deep in the stone gambling industry, even masters may take a fall."

"Coming here, one must look more and compare extensively to possibly select a raw stone with jadeite inside."

Liu Chao offered a slight smile, his words well founded.

"Alright," Chen Yuting said helplessly.

She didn’t understand stone gambling and had to rely on Liu Chao; whatever he said goes.

"Hey, isn’t that your ex-boyfriend Shen Dong? He’s here to play the stone gambling as well?" Suddenly, Liu Chao spotted the figure of Shen Dong, raised an eyebrow with a laugh, "I’ve said that your ex-boyfriend has a unique vision and a way of doing things that are extraordinary, haven’t I? I’m certain this poor guy has never been involved in stone gambling; he always finds his way to industries he knows nothing about. He really is an oddity, haha."

Following Liu Chao’s gaze, Chen Yuting indeed saw Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan, along with Wu Jin and others who had just taken a photo with them at the Jin City Hotel.

"Yuting, let’s go over and say hello. No matter what, he’s now your brother-in-law, and your sister is here as well. It wouldn’t be right not to greet them," Liu Chao said cheerfully as he walked towards Shen Dong and the others.

Chen Yuting didn’t want to go, but since Liu Chao was going, she had no choice but to follow.

"Shen Dong, it seems we are destined to meet again," Liu Chao said with a beaming smile as he approached Shen Dong.

"Sis," Chen Yuting greeted Chen Yuyan. As for Shen Dong, she just glanced at him and didn’t say hello.

"Yuting, you’re here to play too?" Chen Yuyan said with a smile.

"Mr. Liu," Wu Jin greeted.

On his last visit to Hai City, he had first met the son of Wansheng Venture Capital’s owner, Liu Chao, but not only had Liu Chao declined to invest, he had also ruthlessly criticized "The Battle Tiger" before leaving without a backward glance.

"Hehe, Mr. Wu, it seems you are really lucky to have gotten Shen Dong to invest in your movie," Liu Chao said with a chuckle.

His tone was dripping with mockery.

It was a mockery of Wu Jin for his dumb luck in securing an investment and of Shen Dong for being a fool to invest in Wu Jin’s movie.

"It’s not about my luck, but Mr. Shen’s good vision," Wu Jin retorted, sparing no courtesy, since Liu Chao was not from the film industry.

What he meant was that Liu Chao had poor judgment for not investing in "The Battle Tiger."

Liu Chao just smiled and didn’t continue to argue with Wu Jin, instead, he looked at Shen Dong and said with a smile, "Shen Dong, you’ve come here, surely you’d like to pick a few rough stones to try your luck, why don’t we make a bet?"

Liu Chao wanted to bet with Shen Dong to trample him underfoot in front of Chen Yuting.

He wanted Chen Yuting to see the vast gap between Shen Dong, the poor guy, and himself, the wealthy second-generation; Shen Dong wasn’t even fit to carry his shoes.

"How do you want to bet?" Shen Dong asked, raising an eyebrow.

He had noticed earlier that the Treasure Appraisal Master skill was useful; he could tell that some of the jadeite rough stones contained jadeite.

This Liu Chao, whom he was not familiar with, was provoking him.

Did he think he was easy to push around?

If you want to bet, I’ll bet with you.

With the Treasure Appraisal Master skill, what’s there to fear?

"Husband, don’t bet with him," Chen Yuyan tried to persuade Shen Dong not to gamble with this Liu Chao.

She found Liu Chao very unlikable.

She really didn’t understand how Chen Yuting ended up mingling with such a person.

"Don’t worry," Shen Dong reassured Chen Yuyan with a confident look.

Seeing this, Chen Yuyan said no more.

In public, she needed to give Shen Dong face and couldn’t just rashly stop him; otherwise, it would make him look weak in the eyes of others.

"Hehe, so you’re saying you agree? Let’s do this: we’ll see whose selected jadeite rough stone contains the highest valued jadeite. The bet is one million, how about that?" Liu Chao said with a grin.

"One million?" Shen Dong’s eyebrows shot up again.

Although he wasn’t short of money, and one million really wasn’t much to him now,

sometimes a casual operation in the futures market could bring in a million.

But if someone’s giving away one million, why not take it?

It would be good for buying a handbag for his wife, after all.
