Chapter 121: Poked a Dog's Nest!

"One million!"

"Three million!"

"Sold!"

Following a crisp, resonant sound, Ye Feng directly smashed three million to secure this Raw Stone!

"A kept man is actually able to bring out so much money; it seems Xiao Ran is treating you quite well!"

Li Liangchao sat in the corner, looking at Ye Feng with a provocative gaze.

Originally, he had no intention of participating in the bidding for such a piece of trash Raw Stone, but when he discovered that the person making the bid was actually Ye Feng, he immediately became interested.

This bid was also purely to disgust him!

"Mr. Ye, do you choose to open the stone on-site or take it away?"

At this moment, Ouyang Mei'er's voice came from in front of him.

Hearing Ouyang Mei'er's voice, Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "Open it on-site!"

Since arriving here, Lei Qianqian had told him that according to the Auction rules, if one chooses to take the Raw Stone away, one must pay three times the hammer price.

He was no fool; the jade inside this Raw Stone was worth eight million at most, so if he really took it away, not only would he not make a profit, but he would actually lose one million!

"I hope you, this kept-man loser, can open up something good!"

A sound similar to barking came from the back row again.

Ye Feng didn't even need to turn his head to know it was that unleashed thing, Li Liangchao.

This idiot, if one doesn't confront him, will it really never end?

Thinking of this, just as Ye Feng was about to speak, Ouyang Zhengyi's sarcastic voice rang out from the front row: "Some people really are impervious to reason!"

"You even dare to touch the waste stone my grandfather personally appraised; in a moment, your three million will go down the drain!"

As these words fell, rustling snickers immediately erupted in the Auction hall.

Ye Feng held his forehead and sighed.

Have I poked a dog's nest today? Why are there so many barking sounds?

However, he was too lazy to argue and just made a cutting gesture to Ouyang Mei'er.

"Zzzzz..."

Seeing this, Ouyang Mei'er also gave a look to the staff member beside her.

In an instant, the roar of the cutting machine resounded throughout the entire Auction venue!

After cutting for a while, there was no special movement from the Raw Stone.

"It's going down the drain!"

Seeing this, Ouyang Zhengyi said with great schadenfreude!

Just at this moment, a wisp of emerald color shot out from the stone seam.

"This... this is actually Zhengyang Green!"

"And... it's Ice Variety Zhengyang Green!"

An old man with white hair standing in the very front row stood up abruptly, his cane knocking a crisp sound against the floor.

In an instant, the entire Auction venue boiled over.

The guests who were originally sitting in the back rows surged forward one after another, wanting to catch a glimpse of this unexpected treasure.

Ye Feng stood where he was with a faint smile on his lips, but his gaze calmly swept across the crowd, finally landing on the livid-faced Li Liangchao and Ouyang Zhengyi.

"Impossible! How could such scrap material produce Zhengyang Green!"

Ouyang Zhengyi pushed aside the guests blocking his way and rushed to the stone-opening platform, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out: "It must be a fake!"

Ye Feng chuckled and said unhurriedly, "Young Master Ouyang, didn't your grandfather teach you that in the stone gambling business, the biggest taboo is judging a stone by its appearance?"

Afterwards, he turned to the stone-opening master: "Please continue, and extract the entire piece of jade!"

As soon as his voice fell, the cutting machine started up again.

Following the master's skilled operation, a piece of jade as large as an adult's head gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

That green was as pure as a mountain spring, flowing with an intoxicating halo under the lights.

Exclamations and valuation estimates rose one after another in the venue.

"At least eight million!"

"I think more than that; with this water content and this color, it could even be over ten million!"

"What is this kid's background? He's actually been able to open top-grade jade twice in a row!"

Following the exclamations on the scene, the entire Auction venue instantly boiled over.

Everyone stretched their necks to look toward the cutting platform, only to see that in the center of the Raw Stone that everyone had originally regarded as waste, a head-sized piece of Zhengyang Green jade was lying quietly!

"This is impossible, dumb luck, it must be dumb luck!"

Ouyang Zhengyi stared at this piece of jade, his face quite livid.

"It's just dumb luck."

Li Liangchao also snorted coldly: "A kept-man loser, do you really think you're a stone gambling master?"

"Shut up!"

Ouyang Mei'er suddenly interrupted sternly: "Auction rules: keep quiet during the stone opening. If you disturb the process again, I will have you escorted out!"

Hearing this, the two didn't dare to say anything more; they just glared at Ye Feng resentfully, turned around, and went back to their seats.

Seeing the two settle down, Ouyang Mei'er turned her eyes to Ye Feng and said in a charming voice, "Mr. Ye, how do you intend to handle this piece of jade?"

"If you want to sell it, our Auction can purchase it with cash immediately!"

Just as Ye Feng was about to speak, a commotion suddenly came from the back of the venue.

The crowd parted automatically, and an old man with white hair and a beard walked over slowly, leaning on a cane.

"Grandfather?"

Ouyang Zhengyi's expression changed drastically.

Ouyang Yuanxiu ignored his grandson and walked straight to the stone-cutting platform, examining the jade carefully.

A moment later, he let out a long sigh: "It was this old man who misjudged!"

"The texture and water content of this jade are both excellent; it is top-grade Zhengyang Green!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar once again.

To have Ouyang Yuanxiu, a titan of the stone-gambling world, publicly admit a mistake—this was a scene rarely seen in a hundred years!

Subsequently, Ouyang Yuanxiu turned to Ye Feng, his gaze burning: "Young man, could you tell this old man how you judged this Raw Stone?"

Ye Feng smiled: "Just intuition!"

"What a fine 'intuition'!"

Ouyang Yuanxiu suddenly laughed loudly: "I have lived for more than half my life, and this is the first time I have seen such precise intuition!"

Behind them, Li Liangchao's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot.

He said secretly in his heart: "With such good dog-luck, no wonder he could win Xiao Ran's favor!"

"However, one month from now, let's see if you can still laugh!"

Ye Feng did not notice Li Liangchao, but instead said to Ouyang Mei'er: "My card number is... just transfer the money directly to this card!"
