Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Income of Thirty-Three Million_1

"You kept swearing that you could win, but not only did you not win, you also lost millions. How am I supposed to believe you now?" Chen Yuting said coldly.

She was really annoyed.

And then to think about the piece of raw stone Shen Dong chose, which made him fifteen million.

Plus another ten million won from Liu Chao.

That’s twenty-five million in total.

Twenty-five million.

Even the commission from the dream insurance business with Ao City Chamber of Commerce wasn’t that much.

But Shen Dong made twenty-five million just like that.

Now, she was starting to wonder if Shen Dong’s sudden knack for making money was just luck.

Can someone’s luck really be that good?

Ever since breaking up with Shen Dong, he seemed to have changed, turned into someone she didn’t even recognize.

If she were still with him...

She mustn’t think about it!

"Yuting, that guy Shen Dong just struck dumb luck; I really didn’t see it coming," Liu Chao was also very frustrated.

Chen Yuting didn’t say anything more.

Nothing she said now would matter.

If Liu Chao were just an ordinary person, she would have stopped bothering with him long ago.

But since Liu Chao was a rich second generation, she was hoping to rely on him to make money and pay off debts, so she had to suppress her own temper.

...

At the trading market, the Jiecheng Auction buy-back station.

"Mr. Shen, if you sell us these jades, the reward of eight million from today should be yours," Han Deming began.

"That’s right, I don’t think anyone else has presented a jade of higher value."

"Mr. Shen, I really can’t believe it. At such a young age, you have such a high level of skill in stone gambling," he said.

"Just think about myself, after so many years in the jade business I’m still mediocre, it’s really embarrassing," murmured Du Zhenqi.

"Haha, Mr. Han, Mr. Du, I just got lucky," Shen Dong chuckled.

"I prefer what Mr. Wu said, it’s not that you have good luck, but you have good eyesight," laughed Du Zhenqi.

"Mr. Shen, about what I mentioned just now, you see..." Han Deming tried to steer the conversation back, looking eagerly at Shen Dong.

"No problem, Mr. Han," Shen Dong replied with a smile.

"That’s a generous response; I thank you, brother. I’ll go and prepare the contract," said Han Deming, and immediately went off to prepare the contract.

Soon after, he brought over the contract for Shen Dong to sign.

Together with the jade from Liu Chao, it was a total of twenty million and fifty thousand.

After the contract was signed, Han Deming immediately instructed finance to transfer the money to Shen Dong.

Afterwards, everyone continued to meander through the trading market.

The other two investors spent hundreds of thousands and bought two pieces of raw stone.

Unfortunately, they both turned out to be duds.

However, Du Zhenqi bought a few more pieces, cut out the jades, and made over a million in profit.

Wu Jin and Xie Zhu didn’t have any money to spare; they had invested all their money in "The Battle Tiger" and only had enough for living expenses, so they didn’t make a purchase.

Shen Dong tried his hand twice more, but both attempts were failures.

This business is different from appraising antiques.

With antiques, the real is real and the fake is fake.

But with jade raw stones, even with his Master Appraiser skills, there’s still an element of chance, although the odds are greater.

That fifteen-million piece earlier really did involve some luck.

And it makes sense—if one could always accurately pick out jade-containing raw stones, if he took them all, how would others get their turn? That would be against cosmic order.

After that, he didn’t make any more moves.

Suddenly, Shen Dong thought of something and turned to Han Deming, "Mr. Han, I’m thinking of having some jade jewelry made. Do you know any master craftsmen who create jewelry?"

He wanted to make some jewelry or small trinkets for his parents, his father-in-law, and his wife.

Mr. Han laughed and said, "Mr. Shen, you’ve come to the right person. We at Jiecheng Auction have such skilled craftsmen; their craft is absolutely top-notch. When we acquire these jadeites, some are made into finished products before auction. That way, we can earn even more."

"So that’s how it is," Shen Dong suddenly realized.

What he had initially thought was that Jiecheng Auction sold jadeites directly at auction.

It seemed that in the business aspect, his own mind was far less astute than these people; he hadn’t even thought of that.

If it weren’t for the system, he could only be a small employee at a fund company, working hard, striving for promotions and raises.

The idea of making big money was out of the question.

"Mr. Shen, what kind of jewelry are you going to make?" Mr. Han asked.

Shen Dong talked about the jewelry he wanted to make, which was to be made with imperial green jadeite.

"Okay, don’t worry. I’ll have the best craftsman in our company make it for you, and I guarantee you’ll be satisfied," Mr. Han assured.

"Alright, then thank you. Just let me know the cost when it’s time, and I’ll transfer it to you," Shen Dong said.

"Mr. Shen, why bring up the cost? It’s just a few pieces of jewelry; how could I possibly take your money?" Mr. Han said, displeased.

"Mr. Han, that’s not appropriate. If you don’t take the money, then I won’t have you make them," Shen Dong said, shaking his head.

It would require a considerable amount of money to make jewelry with imperial green jadeite.

On top of that, paying the craftsman for the labor would also incur a fee.

It wouldn’t be right to have Mr. Han pay for these expenses.

Friends are friends. Sometimes money doesn’t need to be an issue, but other times it’s important to be clear about it.

In this case, it had to be clear. It wasn’t a trivial sum, nor as simple as treating someone to a meal.

"Alright then," Mr. Han said, unable to argue.

The last time he met Shen Dong in An City, he only saw him as a young man with exceptional appraisal skills, engaging with him from a businessman’s perspective.

This time, seeing Shen Dong again, he had become the biggest investor of "The Battle Tiger," with an investment of twenty million.

Now Mr. Han could no longer view Shen Dong simply through a businessman’s eyes.

He planned to draw closer to Shen Dong, ready to incur some expenses.

However, Shen Dong did not give him that opportunity.

But he also realized that Shen Dong had his principles when it came to making friends. As long as he was sincere, he likely could still draw closer to Shen Dong.

Right now, the most important thing was to handle the matter Shen Dong mentioned well and to produce a piece of jewelry that would satisfy Shen Dong.

The trading market closed, and Jiecheng Auction’s purchasing statistics were quickly released.

It was true that the jadeite Shen Dong sold at the purchasing station was the most valuable. Shen Dong received a bonus of eight million.

Today, by visiting the trading market, he had unearthed an imperial green jadeite worth fifteen million, Liu Chao owed him ten million, and now with this bonus of eight million, his earnings were thirty-three million.

The cost was only nine hundred thirty thousand.

This was a fortune most people could never earn in their lifetime.

With the system, making money was indeed fast.

"I’ll treat everyone to dinner; let’s go," Shen Dong happily invited.

After dining at a nearby upscale restaurant, the group parted ways.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan checked into a nearby five-star hotel.

They had not booked a hotel before coming.

For this trip, Chen Yuyan suggested being spontaneous, booking a room wherever they felt like staying.

Just before they were about to sleep, Liu Chao transferred the remaining four million five hundred thousand.

Liu Chao was very frustrated. Coming to Jin City, he not only failed to make a profit but also ended up losing several million.

Today, when he got home and asked his father for money, his father scolded him fiercely.

Despite the scolding, in the end, his father still gave him five million to settle the debt.

He couldn’t default; there was a contract, and he would face a high penalty for breach.

After repaying the debt, Liu Chao was left with only five hundred thousand.

Seething with resentment, he thought about finding an opportunity in the future to take his revenge on Shen Dong.

After spending two days in Jin City, Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan returned to Hai City.
