Chapter 302: Twenty Billion Rough Stone

~8 min read 1,417 words

Many pieces of rough stone were quickly cut.

The result surprised Lin Feng.

Could it be that I have gained another 'special ability'!?

Those rough stones with windows that did not produce a halo in vision all turned out to be brickstone.

The remaining ones: the larger the halo, the deeper the color, the higher the value of the cut jade.

Hehe!

After the result came out, Yang Yu laughed and said, 'Another loss!'

The rough jade worth over two million, after appraisal, the cut jade was still not worth ten thousand.

Another loss of over one million.

Again!

Lin Feng wore a look of unwillingness.

Next, he began selecting rough stones again.

Still those with windows, the higher-priced rough stones.

What's going on with the halo in the eye?

Lin Feng wondered.

After thinking, it should be that my visual ability is too strong, able to see light others cannot.

Seeing Lin Feng's 'crazy' appearance, Yang Caiwei pouted, looking dissatisfied at Yang Yu.

Senior Brother Lin is about to be taken into the ditch by Dad!

But she couldn't well stop it, after all it's a game among men.

Lin Feng picked up a flashlight and searched around.

The small rough stones with windows, he finished looking at them all at once.

No other visual anomalies besides the halo appeared.

Lin Feng was very dissatisfied.

If there are no windowed stones, what about those without windows?

Lin Feng took a strong flashlight and began to look at the stones without windows again.

Yang Yu followed behind Lin Feng with hands behind his back, his expression growing more smug.

Lin Feng wouldn't even look at the windowed stones, yet he went to look at the unwindowed ones.

A fist-sized stone, Lin Feng shone the strong flashlight on it repeatedly.

This time there was a new change in the vision.

The strong light shone through the skin, and the light emitted from inside was like an egg under strong light.

Inside was a mass of deep green, the size of a pigeon egg, with large and small green irregular shapes attached, like tree roots.

Overall shape, like a buried underground rhizome.

This one!

Lin Feng finally chose it.

The asking price for this rough stone was only twenty thousand.

How to cut?

The cutter asked.

Lin Feng pointed at the middle and said, 'Cut it in half with one blow!'

With a sizzling sound, the fist-sized stone was split in two.

The cutter didn't look, handing them back together to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng slowly separated them.

A streak of deep green appeared in Lin Feng's sight.

It's glass seed!

Yang Caifeng couldn't help exclaiming.

Glass seed is the best quality of jade; if green enough, it's the so-called emperor green.

It's risen, risen big time!

Yang Caishi exclaimed in astonishment.

Although the cut jade is not large, it can make two high-end ring faces.

This piece not only let Lin Feng recoup his previous losses, but also left a surplus.

'How much do you say it's worth?' Lin Feng asked Yang Caifeng and Yang Caishi.

Yang Caifeng frowned and said, 'Around three million; if the green were a bit deeper it would be better.'

Lin Feng hehe laughed, shoved the two and a half pieces of stone into Yang Yu's hands, 'Old Yang, good luck, you cut a good piece, a little surplus. The extra money, give Caiwei a red envelope as New Year's money.'

Seeing Lin Feng's smug look, Yang Yu felt another surge of anger.

This kid's luck is really too good!

He set the stone aside, patted Lin Feng's shoulder, pointing at the pile of large stones on the ground and said, 'These small stones are boring; why not look at these large ones? These stones, when opened, yield the most valuable jade.'

Saying that, he pulled Lin Feng to front of a huge stone weighing several hundred jin: 'Look at this large stone with a window; I bought it at twenty billion. With our wealth, playing with small stones is too boring, you agree?'

Lin Feng frowned and said, 'Isn't that too much? If my luck is good, this twenty-billion rough stone could open into jade worth hundreds of billions, Old Yang, you wouldn't lose to death.'

Yang Yu looked displeased: 'During the New Year, saying the word "death" is too inauspicious; if you don't buy a large stone today, I'll be angry with you.'

He is scheming to make Lin Feng fall into it.

They were scheming to make Lin Feng fall into it.

In the jadeite trade, there's no distinction of shallow or deep; even if you have over a hundred billion in net worth, it's not enough to pour into it.

Generally, jewelry companies purchase raw jade that has been cut open, process it, and profit from the price difference.

This is the most secure approach.

Because it won't incur a loss.

If there's no material, try to buy semi‑gambling rough stone with a window cut into it as much as possible.

A few million, even tens of millions, won't hurt Lin Feng at all.

But if you throw in several billion or over ten billion, not even Bill Gates would dare to play that way.

Seeing Lin Feng hesitate, Yang Yu said again: "First gain experience here; later I'll take you to a much larger place to play, where the material is hundreds to thousands of times more abundant than here, and you'll find every kind of material there."

"Alright!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Beside her, Yang Caiwei looked at Lin Feng with a worried expression.

She was about to speak up to advise him, but seeing Yang Yu glare at her, she was frightened and swallowed the words she was about to say.

Lin Feng picked up a strong‑beam flashlight and shone it on this large piece of windowed material worth two billion.

The flashlight's strong light caused a large green area to appear inside the material.

"How is it? Is this piece good enough? Look how green it is!"

Yang Yu squatted to the side, laughing as he spoke.

In his view, Lin Feng's psychology had already run into trouble at this moment.

Just like a gambler preparing to place a heavy bet.

In Lin Feng's eyes, however, this large piece of material was a completely different sight.

That old guy Yang Yu has pretty good luck!

A piece of material as big as a millstone, its green is even richer than that of the previous piece.

Lin Feng observed it for several minutes.

Through the light emanating from inside that only he could see, an irregularly shaped, overall flat large piece of green jadeite formed.

The thickest part is over twenty centimeters, while the thinnest is about ten centimeters.

The opened material should yield more than thirty pairs of bracelets.

Given this quality, the green is richer than the previous piece; the value of a pair of bracelets is easily over a hundred million.

"Alright, I'll buy this piece of material."

Lin Feng pulled out a checkbook from his pocket and gladly wrote Yang Yu a check!

After Yang Yu took the check and glanced at it, he smiled and asked, "Want to cut it open now to have a look?"

Yang Yu had already had consultants look at this piece of material.

Several consultants judged that the skin had too many cracks, surely indicating deep penetration, making the risk of acquiring it for two billion very high.

After some negotiation, Yang Yu managed to obtain it.

Marked at two billion, he flipped it and sold it—pure profit!

This is truly a sure‑win, no‑loss deal!

The warehouse's cutting machine is too small to cut it.

Lin Feng raised his wrist to check the time: "It's already eight o'clock in the evening; I should head back."

Yang Yu quickly said, "It's still early; I can't cut it here, but there's a place that can—let's go over and give it a try right now."

He could hardly wait to see Lin Feng lose a few hundred million, or even several billion, all at once.

"Where to?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

Yang Yu said, "A place in Yanjingcheng dedicated to playing with stones."

"Great!"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

He also wanted to see what expression Tudou Xiong would have after making a big profit.

A stone weighing several hundred catties was hoisted outside, then pushed by cart to the outside and placed into the trunk of Lin Feng's knight.
