Chapter 146: Local Rich Man

Ling Yun used a flashlight to observe the situation inside the raw stone through the blue and white python pattern, muttering, "The green that comes through is pretty good, but I wonder if it's the skin that's greening?"

Ji Bailin took a look with the help of the flashlight and said, "Brother Ling, the green is showing through. It must be jadeite. Let's bet on this one."

"What do you know? No one knows how much this cuckold has known. Maybe he is just a cuckold who relies on his skin. Ruoruo, come and take a look?"

Ling Yun whispered in Du Ruo's ear: "Can your sixth sense be used now? Does it work at this moment?"

Du Ruo's eyes were filled with smiles, and she said slowly: "I don't know either? How about you place a bet first, and I'll try to see if it works or not?"

Ling Yun's eyes were full of confusion. He looked at Du Ruo and said, "You have to try this thing now? That's too useless. I'm not saying this to you, but for losers like us, even if we try it a hundred times, there's a high probability that we won't have a useful golden finger."

Du Ruo nodded indifferently and said, "You are quite right."

She also felt that her golden finger was not powerful enough. If it was more powerful, why would she target Boss Yuan?

Ling Yun sighed. This poor fellow was still a poor fellow no matter how many times he was reborn. He suddenly felt a little sad.

Looking at the crowd holding up signboards, Ling Yun suddenly became excited and rushed forward with his sleeves rolled up.

No matter what, aren't we still alive? Being alive is victory.

Du Ruo looked at the ten rough stones to be auctioned on the platform. The champion had really put in a lot of effort. These ten rough stones looked very similar. They all had bright and shiny appearances and seemed to have a high possibility of producing green. Judging from their appearance alone, they were almost the same.

She simply stopped taking any action and just stood aside and watched. After a moment, she saw the clue.

Jadeite No. 3 is average in appearance, but it has a lot of inner beauty, at least it is a glass-type imperial green.

Ling Yun is an expert in gambling on gemstones. He picked out gemstones number 3 and 8 based on his own ability. He ran to Du Ruo and asked, "Show me which one I should choose this time?"

This guy is not reliable in other things, but he is really good at gambling stones and bronze tools.

"Number three."

"Sister, there's not a single drop of green on number three, are you sure? Brother Ling, I think the number one you just looked at is pretty good."

Ling Yun looked at him with disdain: "It's a pity that you are a foreign student, but you have no vision at all. That number one is most likely a swindler, just like you, superficial and unreliable."

Ji Bailin...

He did study abroad, but he didn't learn gambling! How come he is so superficial?

Ji Bailin got angry. He rushed to the betting table and shouted, "I'll pay 100,000 for number one."

Du Ruo...

There was silence in the audience, and everyone looked at Ji Bailin in surprise. Where did this local tycoon come from?

Some people even muttered to themselves: "Could it be that the No. 1 rough stone really contains top-grade jadeite? Why not buy No. 1 myself?"

The boss was happy. How good is a local tycoon? Except for the period when the business just opened, how long has it been since I saw such a powerful local tycoon? So moved, the boss waved his hand happily: "Buy 100,000 and get 10,000 for free, just count it as 110,000."

Du Ruo, she really wanted to call her silly brother back, but it would be useless even if she bought him 100,000 or gave him 1 million? Listen to others' advice and eat your fill. For this kind of thing, you have to listen to the advice of people in the industry. Ling Yun's judgment was right. Number One was really a green-skinned person with a shiny surface.

Ji Bailin came back with a handful of sticks in his hand, looking very proud. He generously handed half to Du Ruo and said, "I'll give you half. We'll go together to claim the prize money later."

Du Ruo's mouth twitched: "Thank you, you should keep it for yourself."

Ling Yun looked at him with contempt, and ran to the stage and shouted, "Number three, give me 100,000."

The boss was so happy that he almost jumped up. What day is today? Why are there so many local tycoons?

The boss waved his hand and said loudly: "I'll give you a discount too. Buy 100,000 and get 10,000 for free."

This time Du Ruo smiled. The boss was in trouble this time and he would regret it soon.

Under his brother's resentful gaze, Du Ruo resolutely bought the number three for 200,000 yuan. The boss was so happy that he went crazy. He asked why he looked so radiant this morning. It turned out that it was time for him to get here and it was his turn to make a fortune today.

At 8 o'clock sharp, the auction started. As expected, number one became the most popular item. With good performance and high bets, it would definitely win.

What? You said that number three has a higher bet, number three is not good, and the appearance is not up to standard. Who knows which stupid local tycoon is making such a fuss?

The boss made a fortune from the No. 1 raw material and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

When it came to the rough material No. 3, it was much quieter, and there were only a few people bidding. In the end, this rough material and the usual price fell into Du Ruo's hands. Ling Yunyao didn't care about this rough material at all. He was playing for the heartbeat in the process of gambling with stones and had no obsession with the rough material.

Lingyun has been playing with stones for two lifetimes. Although he is still passionate about gambling with stones and still loves it very much, his enthusiasm is long gone.

Ji Bailin was different. He was young and energetic. He felt very embarrassed after being ridiculed by Ling Yun just now. The last time he came with his friends, he just took a quick look. This was his first time to place a bet, so he was very excited.

If Du Ruo hadn't held him back, he would have definitely competed with others for the No. 1 rough stone to the end. Unfortunately, his sister would have stopped him, and Ji Bailin regretfully failed in the end.

Now they started to open the No. 1 rough stone. The crowd was very enthusiastic and the shouts were deafening. Ling Yun said in a low voice, "What a bunch of fools."

Ji Bailin waved his fist and tried his best to cheer for the No. 1 rough stone. He almost shouted until his voice was hoarse. Du Ruo was extremely troubled. This is a rough material. If there is jade inside, it will be there even if you don’t shout. If there is white cotton inside, it will not come out even if you shout until you lose your voice!

Ji Bailin didn't care. Not only did he cheer himself on, he also pulled his sister along.

The result was already predetermined. There was only a little green on the surface, and the inside was full of white cotton, which was very dazzling.

Ji Bailin was feeling depressed. It wasn't because he felt bad about losing the money, but because he felt so bad about losing. However, he was a smart and studious kid. Since he failed this time, he would learn from his lessons and start over.

Ji Bailin thought that he could develop the jade jewelry business, killing two birds with one stone. Besides, his sister was a jade carving master and he could ask her for more advice.

While he was thinking about starting his business, the No. 2 rough stone also failed. Two rough stones failed in a row, one of which was the most popular. The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a little cold.

Especially those who lost their bets were all listless, and only a few who bet on rough material No. 3 were still looking forward to cutting the stone.
