Chapter 126 Opportunity

The first cut yielded nothing. The crowd sighed, their faces revealing a look of expected success. They whispered to each other. "Alas, I expected this outcome." "Seeing this situation, I thought there would be some surprise, but it's still disappointing." "Even though gambling on stones has the word 'gamble' in it, it also requires experience, skill, and vision. Don't you all think it's just a matter of luck?"

Yu Zeren, Yu Zihan, and Master Wang ignored the chatter. They had witnessed miracles before, so they held out hope for this cutting. Master Wang, in particular, was calm and steady. As everyone waited for the joke, the piercing sound of the cutting machine began again. As the blade sliced through the stone, a shimmer of purple appeared before their eyes. It was a mysterious and beautiful color, like a flower blooming from within the stone, shimmering alluringly in the sunlight.

Yu Zeren's heartbeat quickened, his hands clenched tightly into fists, hoping for a miracle this time. Yu Zihan's eyes widened, a look of surprise on her face. Meanwhile, Master Wang operated the machine calmly, his eyes focused and determined, as if, at that moment, the world consisted solely of him and the stone.

As the cut deepened, the purple became more pronounced and vibrant. It was no longer a single color, but a gradient, transitioning from light purple to dark purple, and then to a near-black, dark purple. Everyone was stunned by the spectacle before them, holding their breath, as if afraid their breathing would disturb the beauty of the scene.

Finally, the stone was completely cut open, revealing its interior. It was a fist-sized piece of purple jade, delicate in texture and full of water, like a dazzling pearl, radiating an alluring glow. Yu Zeren, Yu Zihan, and Master Wang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy and excitement. They knew they had once again created a miracle.

"Wow, there really is something there, and it's not just an ordinary item. Boss Yu has made a fortune again."

"Humph, it's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. There's only one piece in the whole cart of broken stones. The rest are all waste."

After seeing the goods shipped, people had different thoughts.

"This one," Yu Zihan personally selected a stone. This time, she deliberately chose one that contained a worthless treasure. If she continued to produce top-tier treasures, it might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. As with everything, excess is always a problem. Yu Zeren was even more shocked by Zihan's actions. This meant that Zihan knew the contents of these rough stones in advance. Wasn't this skill a bit incredible?

Thinking of this, Yu Zeren decided not to openly cut the stone after he opened it. He didn't want Zi Han's skills to be exposed in public. Even for Master Wang, he would have to give him a good hammering afterwards.

Although they didn't yield any top-tier gemstones, they did yield some icy jadeite with excellent water content. Just as Yu Zihan was about to take another stone, Yu Zeren stopped her and said, "This all depends on luck. How can you have so much luck? I think we shouldn't open these. Take them back and keep them for later." Yu Zeren's words seemed to be directed at Yu Zihan, but they were actually addressed to the others present.

At first, people were a little disappointed. After all, everyone has a thirst for novelty; who doesn't want to see the impossible become possible? But after hearing Yu Zeren's words, they understood that luck doesn't always come naturally. So, when they saw that Yu Zeren and his team were no longer cutting stones in public, they dispersed.

Just as they were about to head to the backyard, a very gentlemanly old man approached with a cane. "Who are you?" Yu Zeren was slightly displeased to see someone blocking his way, but seeing that it was an old man, he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and inquired about the other person's purpose.

"I just want to ask Boss Yu if he can sell me the violet he offered before. Of course, the price I offer will be much higher than the market price." The old man said with anticipation.

"Oh." Yu Zeren didn't say whether he agreed or not.

Seeing Yu Zeren like this, Yu Zihan admired him. Her uncle was really calm. Such a person would not only let the opponent make the first move, but also make it difficult for the opponent to figure out his cards. This was the most valuable quality in the negotiation field.

"Alas, my beloved wife is terminally ill. She has loved jade all her life. I have collected a lot of jade from all over the place, of all colors and grades, but I lack this kind of top-grade violet." The old man talked about the reason why he wanted to buy this jade, and it sounded really sad.

Yu Zeren looked at Yu Zihan, obviously wanting Yu Zihan to make the decision.

"Uncle, let's give the violet to grandpa. Deep love is the most precious thing in the world. Their love story really touched me." Yu Zihan said sincerely.

"This is your thing, uncle respects your decision."

When the old man heard Yu Zihan's words, he felt like he had met a soulmate. He looked at the clear-eyed girl in front of him with tears in his eyes.

"You are very good, little girl. My surname is Li, and I am the chairman of Huajia Group. I think if Mr. Yu has any ideas in the real estate field, we might as well cooperate." Yu Zeren widened his eyes in surprise when Father Li's identity was revealed. Although their Yu family has not yet entered the real estate field, the names of Father Li and Huajia are still well-known to him. He did not expect to have such an adventure here.

"Okay, okay." Yu Zeren lost his composure at this point. He was actually a bit ecstatic. He hadn't considered investing in real estate before. Furthermore, in Hong Kong, his family had always been a lone wolf, without any backing or connections. The wealthy families here were quite exclusive. Without a century of experience, anyone who made a fortune here would be considered a nouveau riche, not considered a wealthy family. You have to know that wealth isn't just determined by assets; the Yu family wasn't qualified to join the local wealthy community. Now, just because of this stone, they'd been invited by the head of Huajia. For the Yu family, it was like winning the lottery.

"Mr. Li, let's go to the backyard to handle the formalities." Yu Zeren was not foolish enough to think of giving this piece of jade to Mr. Li for free. Of course, it was not that he was reluctant to do so, but this amount of money was a drop in the bucket for Mr. Li. Giving money to him would be an insult to him.

Mr. Li followed them to the backyard. Some of his men had already gone to handle the formalities.
