Reborn 10 years later: First, save 100 million Bitcoins

In this way, Yan Wenshan sold the two cut stones for 1700 million yuan. After deducting the cost of 500 million yuan, he made a profit of 1200 million yuan.

The 1200 million yuan they earned just made up for all the money they had lost before.

Xiao Feng's smaller piece sold for exactly 1200 million, and as for the cost... well... it seems Xiao Feng didn't have any cost at all.

Although it is indeed equivalent to spending 15 million, this 150 million was earned from the 150 worth of raw stones just now.

Furthermore, that 15 yuan was money Yan Wenshan gave to Xiao Feng to play with.

That means... Xiao Feng really didn't spend a single penny... and earned a full 12 million.

Even getting something for nothing isn't this outrageous.

Furthermore, if Xiao Feng hadn't refused, he might have received an additional 700 million.

because!

"Brother Xiao Feng, if I hadn't listened to your advice, I wouldn't have been able to find this material worth 1700 million. So... I have to give you 700 million. I'm just happy, it's so satisfying."

Yan Wenshan is definitely open-minded and insightful.

Yan Wenshan genuinely wanted to be friends with Xiao Feng, feeling that Xiao Feng possessed an indescribable energy.

Faced with Yan Wenshan's offer to give him 700 million, Xiao Feng would definitely refuse.

Previously, Xiao Feng offered 150,000 for a piece of material worth 15 million, but Yan Wenshan refused to pay a single cent.

"Brother Yan, if you're going to act like this, then you don't consider me a friend. Although I suggested this rough stone, it was still your money that was spent."

"Besides, you've just made back the 1200 million you lost on the raw stones. If you give me a share, wouldn't I be losing money both ways?"

"In short, I don't want a single penny of money. Besides, I've already earned 12 million myself, so please don't be shy."

The two of them talked back and forth, both very openly.

Meanwhile, Jia Yucheng, standing to the side, had a dark expression on his face and kept glancing at the two of them out of the corner of his eye.

You two seem to be having a good time.

Who can understand how I feel?

The two rough stones were only sold for 650 million in total, but they were offered for 2900 million right in front of me.

Could it be that, just as I suspect, all of these rough stones are top-grade?

Otherwise... how could one piece yield a top-grade piece?

or?

Should I open one myself?

Thinking about this, Jia Yucheng couldn't help but have some ideas.

It is indeed possible that a batch of rough stones contains... all high-quality items.

In that case... it has nothing to do with luck.

"Bastard, I'm here." Just then, the man at the door shouted, his Mandarin quite broken.

The man who arrived was named Zheng Gang, also known as Brother Gang. He was the one who had just made the phone call, and he was followed by two henchmen.

Zheng Gang is no small figure in this industry. Don't be fooled by his current acquisition of unwanted rough stones; these are still highly profitable.

He collects all the low-end raw jade stones in the entire jade market. After collecting them, he has his subordinates take a good look at them. He keeps the better ones and sells the worst ones to various scenic spots.

In other words, he monopolizes all the low-end raw jade stones in the entire jade market, including those sold in tourist attractions, forming an entire industrial chain.

Although it's not exactly a gray market industry, the fact that he can buy raw stones at tourist attractions and monopolize all of them shows that he definitely has some power.

However, despite his seemingly thuggish demeanor, he is actually quite polite to everyone on the surface, and doesn't always talk about fighting and killing. His only flaw is his Mandarin.

Jia Yucheng was furious when he heard Zheng Gang's non-standard Mandarin.

"Hey Gangzi, can you speak properly? My surname is Jia, Jia Jia, General Manager Jia," Jia Yucheng corrected him irritably.

"Okay, you bastard." Zheng Gang corrected his pronunciation.

That was a good correction; don't correct it again next time.

"Sigh, never mind." Jia Yucheng casually pointed: "The goods you want are all over there. Take them all. It'll only cost 10 yuan in total."

That pile of low-end rough stones, each with an average value of 200 yuan, was packaged together for 10 yuan.

"Okay." Zheng Gang readily agreed, then looked at his two underlings behind him: "Dongzi, Zhou Ping, it's up to you two. Load them all onto the car, and take another look when you get back to see if you can find any bargains."

"However," Zheng Gang's previously mild expression suddenly turned sinister, "if you find any good materials secretly hidden from me, you should know what I'm capable of, right?"

"Don't worry, Gang, we wouldn't dare."

Just as the two were about to load the truck.

"Huh? Xiao Feng? Is that you?" Zhou Ping saw a familiar face.

Xiao Feng and Zhou Ping were high school classmates. Later, Xiao Feng was admitted to a good university, while Zhou Ping dropped out of school to work. In the following years, the two only occasionally spoke to each other in the comments section of their social media posts.

"What, you two know each other?" Jia Yucheng asked proactively.

Zhou Ping nodded: "That's right, Mr. Jia, Xiao Feng and I not only know each other, but we were also high school classmates."

"But Xiao Feng, why are you here? Are you here to gamble on stones? You were looking for me."

At this moment, Zhou Ping... was like a natural friend, giving people the feeling of being with a close brother.

But in reality, we almost never keep in touch.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's anger was about to burst forth.

"Oh, so you're a classmate." Jia Yucheng then casually told Zhou Ping, "Your classmate Xiao Feng is amazing. He just opened two rough stones here and made 1200 million."

Upon hearing that Xiao Feng had earned 1200 million, not only Zhou Ping but even Zhou Ping's boss Zheng Gang were stunned for a moment.

That's 1200 million, no small sum.

Even Zheng Gang immediately looked at Xiao Feng with newfound respect.

Zheng Gang then went on to speak without giving Zhou Ping any face whatsoever, speaking his mind freely.

"Zhou Ping, listen to this. You two are classmates, and you still have to work for me, earning only a few thousand yuan a month, while someone else made 1200 million yuan from a single rough stone."

"That 1200 million, I guess it's enough for you to earn for a lifetime, right? Hahaha."

Zheng Gang didn't mean any harm; he was just speaking his mind and telling the truth.

Zhou Ping was already on edge when he heard that Xiao Feng had earned 1200 million, and Zheng Gang's words hit him right where it hurt.

For a time, it was a time of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Although they were classmates in school, Zhou Ping always felt uneasy about them and they were just friends on the surface.

Because at that time, Zhou Ping's crush took the initiative to write love letters to Xiao Feng.

At that time, Xiao Feng was only focused on his studies and decisively refused.

The same girl.

Zhou Ping regarded her as a goddess.

Xiao Feng, however, refused outright.

This caused Zhou Ping to harbor resentment for a long time, although that was back in high school.

And now... seeing Xiao Feng again, only to hear that he had earned 1200 million, makes it even harder to accept.

On what grounds?

Why should Xiao Feng be able to earn 1200 million?

I make a living this way, cheating and swindling, and I've only earned a few hundred thousand so far.

But you suddenly made 1200 million?

This is not fair!

Zhou Ping couldn't help but feel even more hatred towards Xiao Feng, but on the surface... he still wore a smile.

"Wow, Xiao Feng, I wasn't as good as you back in high school, and I never thought... I'd still be worse than you now."

While Zhou Ping appeared to be flattering him, his words carried a subtle, sarcastic undertone.

Faced with such sarcastic remarks, Xiao Feng naturally had to play along.

"Yes, Zhou Ping, I didn't expect that you would start working at the age of 18 and still only be doing odd jobs. I feel a little sorry for you."

"Of course, I wasn't much better off. I actually knew nothing about jade gambling; it was all just good luck. I randomly opened two rough stones and unexpectedly made over 1000 million."

"It's strange, but the rough stones here from Boss Jia's place are so good that every single one of them is a gemstone inside."

"Otherwise, Mr. Yan and I wouldn't have been able to open three pieces in a row, and all three would have yielded jade."

Xiao Feng's words...every single one had a hidden meaning.

This first sentence... is not only sarcastic... but also expresses pity for Zhou Ping.

The more Zhou Ping said this, the more uncomfortable he felt.

The following sentences... are all intentional or unintentional, yet wildly suggestive.

"Huh? Wait a minute..." Zheng Gang, sitting to the side, immediately heard the key phrase: "Bastard (General Manager Jia), is what this Sao Feng brother said true? He opened three pieces and got jadeite in a row?"

Damn... this Mandarin is really not standard.

"Yes," Jia Yucheng said truthfully, "This young man Xiao Feng picked three pieces in a row, one of which was for President Yan. All three pieces turned out to be worthless, and he made about 3000 million from them."

"Wow!" Zheng Gang perked up immediately upon hearing about the 3000 million.

Although Zheng Gang has a monopoly on recycling these low-end rough stones, he will occasionally try his luck with high-end rough stones, so he still has some money on hand.

Moreover... Xiao Feng clearly doesn't understand raw stones, yet he managed to get three in a row, so it's very likely that... this pile of raw stones is all top-grade.

If all the items are top-tier, then no matter who it is... they'll all explode when they open one, and it won't have anything to do with luck anymore.

Similarly, Zhou Ping understood this principle when he heard these words. His eyes darted around quickly as he made a mental calculation.

Xiao Feng didn't understand how three rough stones could be found in a row?

It seems like this is a pile of top-quality raw stones; perhaps every single one of them could be a gem.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping immediately went to Zheng Gang's side and whispered in his ear.

"Brother Gang, Xiao Feng himself said he didn't understand raw stones, but he managed to get three pieces in a row, which proves that... this pile of raw stones is very likely to be of high quality."

"So, Brother Gang, my suggestion is, how about we pick one too? Open one up. I happen to have a few hundred thousand in my account, how about I consider it an investment?"

After listening, Zheng Gang immediately looked at Zhou Ping with a hint of skepticism: "You have hundreds of thousands in your account?"

"Uh... my house is being demolished for redevelopment." Zhou Ping made up a reason and continued, "So, Gang, how about we open one and give it a try? After all... we know more than Xiao Feng, so it's easier for us to make a splash."

With Zhou Ping's encouragement, who wouldn't be tempted?

"That makes sense." Zheng Gang nodded as well. "Alright, you bastard (General Manager Jia), I'm in a good mood today, and I'd like to support you by opening one myself."
