The door opened.
As soon as Lao Qin came in, he said to Chen Dong, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry."
"Old Qin, what are you talking about?" Chen Dong felt very strange.
"I'm very sorry about what happened today. It was that guy surnamed Shang who came and caused trouble, which affected your mood and everyone else's."
"Hey, this has nothing to do with you. You run into a few flies everywhere, don't you?" Chen Dong said nonchalantly.
"However, I feel I should tell you about my past issues with the merchant, which may affect our bidding this time."
Then Lao Qin briefly recounted how he had a feud with the merchant back then.
It turns out that Lao Qin came to Myanmar to gamble on jade with the manager of Wanbaolou and his group.
During this time, they met people from Singapore's Shang's Jewelry Company, including Shang Yanfei's uncle, Zhang Jianming.
Lao Qin and Zhang Jianming became friends. At the time, they felt very close and even bought several rough stones together.
Even when they were attacked by rebel forces, Lao Qin and his group provided assistance to the people of Shang's Jewelry Company.
Unfortunately, a bomb exploded right next to them.
Fortunately, Lao Qin reminded him in time, which saved Zhang Jianming's life.
But most people didn't realize what was happening, including Lao Qin's boss; many people lost their lives.
Zhang Jianming was also seriously injured; his legs were blown to pieces.
Finally, Old Qin, with great effort, managed to escape with him.
However, Zhang Jianming became disabled, his personality changed drastically, and he was filled with resentment towards the outside world. Consequently, he also hated Lao Qin, believing that Lao Qin had reminded him too late, which caused him to become like this.
Old Qin was also very frustrated. In the end, he shared the raw stone with him, even giving him an extra piece, and then they parted ways.
After returning to China, Lao Qin didn't keep the raw stone for himself, but gave it to the boss's family.
However, Wanbaolou also fell apart due to the death of its owner and the family's struggle for the inheritance.
Old Qin therefore left Wanbaolou.
However, Lao Qin did not expect that after so many years, Zhang Jianming would still harbor such resentment towards him, and even his nephew would have a negative opinion of him.
He was worried that Shang Yanfei might harm Chen Dong and the others, so he rushed over to warn them.
"Alright, Lao Qin, don't worry, I've already made arrangements for this!" Chen Dong reassured him.
"That's good!" Old Qin nodded.
Seeing that Dongdong didn't blame him or have any other complaints, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took his leave.
Chen Dong found it somewhat amusing that he had run into Ouyang Ming on this trip.
When Lao Qin arrived, he encountered an old friend he hadn't seen for many years—Zhang Jianming's nephew, with whom he had almost become enemies.
What a coincidence!
In particular, the two sides also teamed up, creating a 2-on-2 situation.
In this way, if he has to deal with Ouyang Ming, he also has to deal with Shang Yanfei at the same time.
The same applies to Shang Yanfei; if he wants to deal with Lao Qin, he will definitely deal with himself as well.
The world is truly full of wonders.
Of course, Chen Dong had no idea that even more amazing things were yet to come!
It just goes to show that things are unpredictable.
The next day, Chen Dong and his group spent most of their time at the jade gambling venue.
He also invested in quite a few more rough stones.
He noted down the characteristics of these stones in his notebook for careful analysis.
It must be said that after two days of hands-on experience, his understanding of stone has greatly improved.
Most of the rough stones that Chen Dong bid in the sealed auction were handled according to Lao Qin's instructions, and a small portion were purchased by Chen Dong himself.
Based on the total price of his bid, if he could win all of them, it would amount to 3 million euros, which is equivalent to more than 20 million yuan.
In addition, he also took a liking to many raw stones that were auctioned openly.
If we also include the imperial green jadeite he's going to buy for tens of millions, then the total cost could potentially exceed 100 million RMB.
Of course, this is all on the premise that no one is competing with him for that imperial green jade.
If someone else joins the competition, he will definitely have to spend even more.
During this time, Chen Dong went to see the imperial green jadeite several more times.
If he hadn't exercised great restraint, he might have stayed there and refused to leave.
Although Chen Dong knew that without his intervention, the Imperial Green raw stone would have failed to sell this time.
However, it now seems that, besides himself, Shang Yanfei is also particularly interested in this stone.
Chen Dong had seen Shang Yanfei loitering around here more than once.
And the way he looked at the stone was particularly intense.
The way Shang Yanfei looked at the raw stone was different from how others hesitated to buy it; she genuinely wanted to possess it immediately.
It seems I may have met my match, Chen Dong thought to himself.
Shang Yanfei shared the same view of Chen Dong.
He could tell that Chen Dong really liked this rough stone.
Of course, many other people are also very interested in this rough stone.
Regardless of anything else, Shang Yanfei had made up her mind to compete with others for this raw stone, including Chen Dong.
Chen Dong didn't care much about this.
He couldn't believe that Shang Yanfei had the audacity to compete with him for this stone.
For Chen Dong, even if it costs several hundred million yuan more, he will still take it.
After all, the value of this stone will rise to tens of billions of yuan in the future.
Of course, without my and Shang Yanfei's intervention, the original trajectory would have led to the cargo owner taking a desperate gamble and cutting the stone himself, thus creating a legend...
This made those who had coveted that rough stone but dared not make a move deeply regretful.
This unexpected turn of events has drawn more attention to the jade gambling industry.
While creating many super-rich individuals, it also led many more people into gambling ruin, and some even lost their lives as a result.
More and more people are venturing into northeastern Myanmar to search for stones near the mines in order to get the best quality, only to lose their lives in attacks by warlords.
That day, after Chen Dong and his group came out of the exhibition hall, they found that there were more and more people on the street, most of whom were there to gamble on stones.
However, Chen Dong also knew that the current state of jade gambling in Myanmar was nothing compared to what it would be like a decade or two later.
Back at the hotel, Chen Dong took a shower, ate dinner, and was resting in his room, preparing to go out later, when someone knocked on the door.
Chen Dong gestured, and Wolong went to open the door, a look of surprise on his face.
Because he discovered that the person standing outside the door was none other than Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming walked in with a humble expression, bowing and scraping to me, and then making the same gestures to the fox, the tiger, and the others.
Then, he saw Chen Dong and wanted to go forward, but after taking a step, he stopped.
He gripped his hat with both hands, his expression showing great distress.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to bother you!"
Chen Dong looked at him calmly without saying a word.
