Chapter 303: Got Angry at Myself
Yang Yu's car led the way ahead.
On the knight, Lin Feng sat in the passenger seat looking at his phone.
Yang Caiwei drove carefully, following behind Yang Yu's black sedan.
"Senior brother, you overpaid for this material."
Yang Caiwei suddenly said.
"Huh?"
Lin Feng turned his head to look at Yang Caiwei.
Yang Caiwei said: "This stone weighs over 300 kilograms, and my dad bought it back for 1.5 billion. That's almost 5 million per kilogram—too expensive! He himself wouldn't dare to open it."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Actually, the raw stone your dad bought isn't that expensive. The jade texture revealed in the opened window area is clearly glass type.
In the 2010 internal public auction, the king of purple jade, partially glass type, weighing 6 kilograms sold for about 200 million, averaging about 33 million per kilogram.
The 2011 public auction king weighed 112 kilograms and sold for 300 million; the performance of that raw stone is far inferior to the one your dad bought, and it's not even that big.
Yang Caiwei exclaimed in surprise: "Senior brother, you actually know about raw jade too!"
Lin Feng chuckled: I just looked it up online.
Strictly speaking, the stone he bought has a large window opened, making it a semi‑gamble.
The normal price is within 1 billion.
Yang Yu spent an extra 500 million to secure it, so the gambling component is already quite large.
Mainly, there are many cracks on the surface; if water seeps in, it will definitely collapse.
However, if Lin Feng doesn't buy this raw stone, in a few years it could easily sell for 2 billion.
The car Yang Yu was riding in left the city center, and half an hour later entered a timber processing factory.
Behind the factory gate, the yard was piled full of lumber.
The car continued inward, turning into a steel‑sheet workshop.
Yang Yu's driver brought the car to a stop.
Yang Yu, sitting in the back seat, unfastened his seatbelt and was about to get out.
"Thump~"
The knight's vehicle front bumped into the black Audi sedan he was riding in.
Yang Yu's head heavily hit the rear seat.
"Ah~"
Yang Caiwei let out a startled cry.
Collision!
It was still a collision with his own father's car.
Lin Feng laughed and said: "Caiwei, you wouldn't have done this on purpose, would you?"
"No, no!"
Yang Caiwei waved her hand: "I just zoned out."
Saying that, she hurriedly got out of the car.
Yang Yu also covered his head, opened the door and got out.
"Dad, are you alright?"
Yang Caiwei hurried over and held onto Yang Yu.
Yang Yu let out a breath, smiling: "It's fine, just a bump. How long haven't you driven?"
Yang Caiwei said: "Maybe a year or two! It's because you won't let me drive."
Yang Yu shook his head: "Looks like my decision was wise."
Yang Caiwei weakly said: "Lin senior brother, I don't want the tens of thousands of New Year's money you gave me—just treat it as repair costs!"
Yang Yu: "..."
Lin Feng got out of the car with a smiling face.
Yang Yu felt Lin Feng's smile was a bit smug.
Could this kid have done it on purpose?
Lao Liu isn't skilled at driving, yet he let her drive and follow behind...
This "bumper car" incident is just a small interlude.
The factory owner had already come over.
A tall, stout man in his forties.
"Boss Yang, you're here!"
The fat man saw Yang Yu, smiled and greeted him.
Yang Yu stepped forward and shook hands with the fat man: "Old He, long time no see! Your business here looks pretty good!"
The fat man surnamed He came from the neighboring workshop; that workshop's lights were bright, figures flickered, and there were many people inside.
Moreover, most of them were wealthy‑level figures.
Just by looking at the cars parked nearby, you could tell they were all luxury cars.
While Yang Yu was talking with the fat man, his driver had already parked the car not far away.
You could see a large dent on the rear of the Audi.
Looking again at the knight, a bit of paint had chipped off the protruding front bumper; you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.
No wonder it's a civilian armored vehicle.
Seeing Lin Feng and his daughter approach, Yang Yu introduced: "This is Lin Feng, director of Great Flag Media; this is my sixth daughter. Lin Feng, this is Boss He, named He Xian."
「Boss Lin, hello! 」
「Boss He, hello! 」
Lin Feng and He Xian shook hands.
「Miss Yang, hello! 」
He Xian again greeted Yang Caiwei.
Yang Caiwei smiled and nodded, saying, 「Hello! 」.
After everyone got acquainted, Yang Yu stated his purpose.
They wanted to borrow He Xian's place to open a piece of stone.
He Xian immediately summoned four workers, lifting the several-hundred-catty stone from the knight's trunk.
They placed it on a cart and sent it into the factory building.
The iron-sheet factory building had a huge space, over a thousand square meters, with over a hundred people inside, making it very lively.
The factory building was filled with jade raw stones, stacked together by size.
Many people were inside selecting stones; after choosing, they placed them on a scale to weigh, paid, then took them to the cutting machine to be cut.
There were three cutting machines in total, with crowds surrounding each.
「Boss Yang is here! 」
「Old Yang, long time no see—where have you been frolicking? 」
「Boss Qian, you're here every time—do you treat this place as your home? 」
Yang Yu exchanged greetings with some people.
It seemed quite a few people knew each other.
Among them, some also knew Lin Feng.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses approached Lin Feng, somewhat reserved, and said, 「Mr. Lin, how did you come here? 」
「You are... 」
Lin Feng felt this person was quite unfamiliar.
The middle-aged man hurriedly introduced himself: 「I'm from the purchasing department of Tang Lin Jewelry; my name is Han Jin, and I specialize in purchasing jade. 」.
Lin Feng nodded.
Jade is very precious to jewelry companies.
Therefore, places that produce jade all station personnel to purchase it on-site.
「Go get busy with your work! 」
Lin Feng said lightly.
Han Jin nodded and turned to leave.
Yang Caiwei, standing before Lin Feng, asked curiously, 「Is this person from your company? 」
「Sort of! 」
Lin Feng nodded.
Since Lin Feng didn't want to elaborate, Yang Caiwei didn't press further.
One of the three cutting machines finally became free.
Boss He directed several workers to lift the heavy raw stone onto the cutting machine.
A stone this large would naturally be cut in half.
The large cutting blade emitted a sizzling sound as it slowly penetrated the stone.
Many people gathered around.
A murmur rose from the crowd.
Someone said the stone's window area had good water texture and enough green, possibly yielding glass jade.
Others said the surface had too many cracks that had seeped inside, making the chance of good material low.
Lin Feng couldn't understand these so-called professional terms.
He only trusted what his own eyes saw.
His ocular ability wasn't specifically for jade; it was merely an extension of his visual capacity.
This ability wasn't particularly miraculous.
Just as bats can emit and hear ultrasonic waves.
In a fly's vision, all objects moving at high speed appear extremely slow.
An eagle flying at a kilometer altitude can spot a tiny mouse in the grass below.
Many other animals can see colors and things invisible to humans.
Lin Feng once heard people say that, in the eyes of some cats and dogs, there are more people in this world…
How scary!
Lin Feng shook his head, drawing back the suddenly extended thoughts.
A large stone took over half an hour to be cut apart.
When the two cut surfaces were revealed to everyone, a gasp of amazement rose.
「Glass jade! 」
「So green! 」
「This must be imperial green! 」
「Damn! After playing with stones for so long, this is the first time I've seen jade this pure green! 」
Lin Feng's mouth curled up as he smiled.
The result that came out was roughly the same as what he saw.
A price of two billion, this time it's going to keep rising!
Because this is no longer a big piece of stone, but glass-type green jade.
Although the color distribution is a bit uneven, producing a few pieces of imperial green jade bracelets and ornaments poses no problem at all.
Yang Yu beside him was so depressed he felt like vomiting blood.
Originally intending to laugh at Lin Feng's joke, he ended up angering himself instead.
