BXBX NOVEL Chapter 39
“There’s no need. This trip was Ye Bei’s idea so he can choose the last stone.”
After saying that, Luo Chen looked at Ye Bei.
“Me? I don’t know anything about these things.”
Ye Bei pointed at himself, feeling a little conflicted.
He could pick the worst stone in the market for him, but he was afraid that after causing him to lose money, Luo Chen would distance himself from him.
Then, he might not be able to follow him around in the future.
Luo Chen said very casually, “It’s fine. We are just here for a stroll to relax. It doesn’t matter if you lose money or not.”
Previously, he had pasted three good luck charms on Zhao Ruoshuang. The two million yuan directly increased by 30 times.
Since he still had seven Good Luck Charms in his hand, Luo Chen planned to stick them all on Ye Bei.
Therefore, Luo Chen wasn’t afraid of Ye Bei choosing expensive and dilapidated raw stones at all. In any case, he just had to wait to earn money.
“This… Thank you, Boss!”
On the surface, Ye Bei looked troubled, but in fact, he was overjoyed.
Since Luo Chen had already spoken, he could choose freely!
F*ck, I’ll make you lose money this time!
Luo Chen patted Ye Bei’s shoulder. “You’re welcome. Hurry up and pick.”
As he spoke, Luo Chen unknowingly stuck all seven talismans on Ye Bei’s body.
Ye Bei glanced at the raw stone stall. In the end, he chose a raw boulder that was as tall as a person.
This raw boulder was riddled with potholes. It was much uglier than the one Zhao Ruoshuang had picked previously.
According to Ye Bei’s experience, this kind of raw stone was usually very expensive, but it didn’t produce good jade.
At this thought, he pointed at the raw stone and said, “I want this!”
“Huh?”
When Hu Cheng saw the raw stone, he was stunned.
He advised, “Brother, why don’t you change to another one? This raw stone was pawned to me by a Burmese guy who didn’t have money back then. Moreover, other than being big, this raw stone doesn’t have any other advantages. No one has bought it all these years so why not look at something else.”
According to the rules, Hu Cheng could not say this. But he did it to give Luo Chen and Xu Yuan face.
Ye Bei snorted coldly in his heart.
Could it be that he could not tell that this was a junk stone? If it was good, he would not want it!
Ye Bei said, “I don’t know anything about this. The other stones aren’t pleasing to the eye, but I like this. Just tell me how much it costs!”
“Well, if you insist on buying it, you can have it for 10 million.”
This was not because Hu Cheng was asking for too much.
Instead, it was because a raw stone this huge was indeed worth this amount.
“Ten million? To buy such a lousy thing?”
“It has nothing to do with Boss Hu. Such a huge raw stone is indeed worth this amount.”
“This kid is really blind. He actually picked the most obvious piece of junk stone.”
The surrounding onlookers discussed when they heard the price.
Zhao Ruoshuang also advised from the side, “Luo Chen, why don’t we change to another stone? This stone costs 10 million. If there’s nothing inside, we’ll lose out.”
Even Xu Yuan advised, “Luo Chen, I advise you not to buy this raw stone. The surface of this raw stone is too rough. It’s obvious that it’s been on the surface of the ground all year round, and raw stones on the surface usually don’t have anything good. Although you’re rich, you can’t spend it like this. Think about it carefully.”
For Xu Yuan to say so much, it meant that he really treated Luo Chen as his junior.
Hu Cheng was not unhappy to see everyone dissuading him.
This was because he had also heard rumors about Luo Chen. It was fine if he made money just now, but if he lost 10 million yuan, wouldn’t a group of people rush out the next day and smash his raw stone stall?
Facing everyone’s dissuasion, Luo Chen did not know what to say.
This was because this matter was guaranteed to be profitable, but he could not be too insistent. Otherwise, someone would definitely find it strange.
At this moment, Ye Bei was so angry that he was about to smoke.
How could someone stop him from losing 10 million yuan of Luo Chen’s money?
It would be a waste of opportunity!
At this moment, Luo Chen asked Ye Bei, “Ye Bei, what do you think of this raw stone?”
“Of course it’s good! President Luo, look at this raw stone. Its head and neck are as thick as a human’s. There must be something good inside!”
“Such a huge piece of jade can be sold for hundreds of millions!”
Upon hearing this question, Ye Bei hurriedly tried to persuade him. He simply couldn’t miss this opportunity.
The other raw stones were too small and probably not very expensive. There was no point in incurring small losses.
“Since you’re so confident in this raw stone, I shall give it a try.”
Luo Chen was very satisfied with Ye Bei’s answer. He could use this opportunity to obtain this raw stone.
He would earn 70 times the original capital of 10 million yuan.
At that time, it would be much easier to mine Bitcoin with this sum.
...
“Woah, this Young Master Luo is really not short of money. He’s even willing to spend 10 million.”
“What’s the use of being willing to spend? If he buys a piece of trash stone, he won’t even be able to find a place to throw it away.”
“This bodyguard is also a stupid donkey with a one-track mind. I cannot believe he still wants to buy this raw stone.”
“I wanted to laugh when I heard him say that this lousy stone is worth hundreds of millions. 100 million is enough for him to work for a hundred lifetimes.”
Seeing that Ye Bei was determined to buy the raw stone, the surrounding people mocked him.
Hearing everyone’s words, Zhao Ruoshuang frowned and said, “Luo Chen, let’s forget it. It’s better to keep this sum for investment than to buy raw stones.”
Ye Bei was afraid that Luo Chen would go back on his word, so he hurriedly added, “President Luo, don’t hesitate. In any case, we don’t lack this 10 million. Besides, so many people are saying that this raw stone isn’t good. If we don’t buy it, I don’t think the Boss will be able to sell it in the future.”
“Brother, don’t say that. I’d rather keep this raw stone for the rest of my life. If Young Master Luo doesn’t want to buy it, I definitely won’t sell it by force!”
When Hu Cheng heard Ye Bei’s words, he hurriedly retorted.
If he bought it reluctantly, wouldn’t Luo Chen skin him when he lost money?
“Alright, there’s no need to dissuade me anymore. Since Ye Bei thinks this raw stone is good, cut it.”
...
Luo Chen did not want to waste time and directly decided.
With that, he walked over and paid.
“Well…”
The surrounding people did not know what to say.
This Luo Chen was really as extravagant as the rumors said.
Hu Cheng was also very hesitant. He was worried that something would happen after this.
Ye Bei was extremely anxious at this moment. He walked over and moved the raw boulder.
“Help me out. What are you waiting for? The money’s already paid!”
Ye Bei shouted at Da Mao, who was beside him, as he found it a little difficult to carry it by himself.
Da Mao was usually a little silly, so he did not think too much about it when he heard the request. The two of them worked together to place this huge rock on the cutting machine.
The news that Luo Chen had spent 10 million yuan on a raw stone quickly spread throughout the entire antique center.
For a moment, the jade area was completely filled with people.
They all wanted to see what 10 million yuan could buy!
Hu Cheng asked with a bitter expression, “Young Master Luo, are you really going to open it? I can refund the money.”
