It can't be, did you put agate rough in there?\" Liu Zhen Tao said with a smile after seeing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man who had just bought Qin Hao's Emperor Green Jade came over and looked at the piece of jade, his eyes blazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao looked at it in his hand, and when he had worn the contact lens earlier, he had felt that the jade inside this stone was very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even clearer than the Emperor Green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now hearing Liu Zhen Tao's words, he was somewhat speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agate rough is very cheap and very clear, but in other aspects, it simply cannot compare with jade, which is the king of gems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it really be a mistake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to ask, the middle-aged man spoke, \"This is agate-type jade, also called Dragon Stone or Divine Dragon type, a once-in-a-century rarity, young man, are you selling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? This is the legendary Dragon Stone type?\" Everyone was extremely shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen Tao, Yuan Zhengxiang, and others were stunned, having long been familiar with the name Dragon Stone type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone in the jade and jewelry business knew about the Dragon Stone type, but few had seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Dragon Stone type was too rare, everyone had seen Emperor Green many times, but almost everyone had only heard about Dragon Stone type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason it was called Dragon Stone type is that this variety of jade was extremely rare, like a dragon whose presence is unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Jing stared dumbfounded at Qin Hao's profile, the more she looked, the more she felt Qin Hao was like an enigma, exuding mystery everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt somewhat fortunate, thankful that she had not sided with the Dayuan Group back then, otherwise, she feared she would have been the one to lose in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a premonition that if Dayuan Group foolishly continued to confront Qin Hao head-on, Dayuan Group would meet a miserable end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll offer eight billion, Mr. Qin, would you sell?\" Liu Zhen Tao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao glanced at him and said with a light smile, \"Even if I were giving it away, I wouldn't sell it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhen Tao's expression fluctuated, and Qin Hao saying this in front of so many people was tantamount to slapping his face publicly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't reflect on how he had just treated Qin Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contempt, disdain, mockery!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qin Hao didn't speak, his heart was like a clear mirror, he was aware of how everyone treated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Jing felt very satisfied hearing Qin Hao's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serves you right, for looking down on people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of the crowd varied, some schadenfreude, and some remained composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the middle-aged man said, \"Dragon Stone type is a once-in-a-century rarity, a priceless treasure for many, Mr. Qin, do you intend to deal? If so, we could go have a chat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao looked at the fist-sized piece of Dragon Stone type jade and nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't particularly fond of jade, and although the Dragon Stone type was a rare treasure, in his eyes, it was just a stone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Mr. Qin, I'll find a place, and we can talk slowly,\" the middle-aged man said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao followed him out of the Jade Origin, with Li Moying, Bai Jing, and others also coming out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left, the crowd reacted and began to choose rough stones, feeling that Xu Yunfu's batch of goods contained many good items, so they also planned to make a purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did they know that all the good items had already been chosen by Qin Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao and the others followed the middle-aged man to a nearby teahouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man secured a private room, where only Qin Hao, Li Moying, Bai Jing, and he were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, the middle-aged man said, \"Let me introduce myself, I am Zhu Huasheng, the chairman of Shenglong Group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shenglong Group?\" Bai Jing was so surprised she nearly jumped from her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao hadn't heard of the name, but seeing Bai Jing's reaction, he believed this Shenglong Group must be significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, he said, \"So you are Mr. Zhu of Shenglong Group, I have long heard of your great reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1390,"2026-06-10T07:14:19.655Z",1,"novelbin.me","a28caafacf72ace82512561fa96ade7b22bcbba7934d63adda30292b3678ee2c","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-197","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-195",1372,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-god-level-youth-cover.jpg"]
