Reborn 10 years later: First, save 100 million Bitcoins

For a brief moment, Xiao Feng's answer was simply outrageous; even Zhou Ping couldn't believe his ears.

Originally, he planned to fool Xiao Feng by saying that there were top-quality stones among the pile of rough stones, and at the same time, he would pretend to be pitiful. With this two-pronged approach, he would get Xiao Feng to spend 100 million to buy the pile of rough stones.

But now... Xiao Feng not only agreed, but also expressed his willingness to spend 1 yuan on each piece.

This is simply outrageous; even Zhou Ping felt it was a bit like a dream.

"Xiao Feng." Zhou Ping's Adam's apple bobbed: "What did you just say? 1 yuan for one stone. This pile must have about six or seven hundred rough stones, that would be six or seven million."

After Zhou Ping finished speaking... his expectant eyes awaited Xiao Feng's reply.

"You heard me right." Xiao Feng pointed to the pile of low-grade rough stones in front of him: "1 yuan a piece, I'm not kidding, but..."

"But there's a condition: didn't you say there are some top-quality items here? You keep calling me an old classmate, so of course I'm going to believe you, my old classmate. So..."

"So I plan to buy them one by one, paying 1 yuan for each one I open, and I'll stop when I open a top-quality one."

Xiao Feng said this to make everything seem more reasonable.

You can't just go over and pick a piece and find out it's a violet jade worth 2000 million.

But if it's done as Xiao Feng suggested, opening each piece one by one and pretending to have accidentally opened that piece, then everything makes much more sense.

Moreover, if Xiao Feng were to open each piece one by one, he could only open a maximum of 10 pieces before reasonably selecting the Imperial Purple.

In total, it only amounted to 10 yuan, and this 10 yuan did not go to Zhou Ping, but to Zhou Ping's boss Zheng Gang. The money went into Zheng Gang's pocket.

Zheng Gang lost so much money today, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to indirectly recover about 10 yuan.

Furthermore, once Xiao Feng actually obtains that Imperial Purple jade, Zhou Ping's fate... is predictable.

After hearing Xiao Feng's suggestion, Zhou Ping immediately perked up.

It's now confirmed that Xiao Feng does indeed plan to spend 1 yuan to open one.

Although he opened them one by one, Xiao Feng wouldn't stop until he found a top-quality item.

At this moment, Zhou Ping looked at the nearly 700 pieces of raw stone in front of him and was extremely excited.

Stop once you get a top-tier item?

Xiao Feng, you really know nothing about raw stones.

With such low-quality rough stones, let alone 700, even if you had 7000, you might not be able to find a single high-quality one, let alone a top-quality one.

Just keep going... keep it all the way up.

"Okay, no problem." Zhou Ping patted his chest: "Xiao Feng, it's settled then, 1 per piece, we'll stop when we find a top-quality item."

"But if you don't get a top-tier item, then you'll have to keep opening them, just to help your old classmate out."

"Of course, rough stones are the easiest to create miracles with. Even if you don't get any top-quality stones before, what if you get one on the last one?"

"So, anything is possible."

Even at this point... Zhou Ping couldn't resist adding a few more words of encouragement, suggesting that maybe the last piece would be a top-quality item.

If Xiao Feng were to open all of these raw stones, it would cost at least 700 million.

In that case, Zheng Gang would recover most of his previous losses, and he would be so happy that he would definitely return the 50 yuan to Zhou Ping.

Most importantly, this would undoubtedly cause Xiao Feng to waste nearly 700 million yuan.

Zhou Ping would be happy as long as he could make Xiao Feng waste money.

"Okay, it's settled then, we'll cut it on the spot." Xiao Feng readily agreed.

"Great job, Xiao Feng, it has to be you." Zhou Ping gave Xiao Feng a thumbs up, though he didn't mean to.

Then…the voice rose…to ensure everyone could hear it.

"Brother Gang, I've closed a big deal!" Zhou Ping shouted, as if he were taking credit.

The three people who were chatting immediately came over.

Zheng Gang was still annoyed: "Damn it! Didn't I tell you to hurry up and load these rough stones onto the truck? What are you talking about? Big business? What big business can you possibly be talking about?"

Zhou Ping chuckled: "Brother Gang, no need to move them. There are about 700 rough stones in total. My good classmate Xiao Feng said he wants them all."

"He plans to buy each piece for 1 yuan, cut them on the spot, and stop when he finds a top-quality piece."

"In other words..." Zhou Ping leaned close to Zheng Gang's ear and lowered his voice again, "In other words... if this pile of low-grade raw stones doesn't yield any top-grade ones, Xiao Feng will have to spend a total of about 700 million."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Gang, whose face had been serious, suddenly froze for a moment.

He glanced at Zhou Ping, then at Xiao Feng.

Let's take another look at Yan Wenshan!

Zheng Gang also knew that Xiao Feng was a friend brought by Yan Wenshan, and that Yan Wenshan would definitely not agree to try to fool Xiao Feng like this.

And... how is that possible?

Unless Xiao Feng is an idiot.

After all, Xiao Feng had just heard with his own ears that the price of this batch of raw stones was only 10 yuan, and now he was buying them for 1 yuan each.

"Ahem..." Zheng Gang cleared his throat, trying to make his Mandarin as standard as possible: "Young man Sao Feng, what do you mean by this? I just bought this pile of raw stones for 10, and now you want to spend nearly 700 million? I don't understand."

Xiao Feng remained calm and composed: "First of all, let me reiterate that I am buying them piece by piece, not spending 700 million at once. Once I find a top-quality item, I will stop."

"Secondly, my old classmate Zhou Ping told me that there are top-quality stones among this pile of low-grade rough stones, and if I'm lucky, I can make a lot of money."

"So, I'm willing to spend this money because I trust my old classmate. If it weren't for Zhou Ping, I wouldn't even want this pile of broken raw stones for 1 yuan."

While explaining, Xiao Feng frantically layered armor on Zhou Ping's body.

To put it simply: I bought it because Zhou Ping told me there were top-quality items inside.

Zheng Gang glanced at the pile of rough stones again. He wasn't stupid. He had been in the rough stone business for so many years, and it was rare to find a high-grade stone in such a low-grade pile.

How could it possibly be a top-tier item?

Just then... Zhou Ping immediately leaned close to Zheng Gang's ear and whispered a few more words.

"Brother Gang, there's no such thing as a top-tier guy. This kid made 1200 million today. I'll just fool him a little to help you recover your losses."

After listening, Zheng Gang pondered for a few seconds.

It doesn't feel right... but... if Xiao Feng can be fooled by this kind of thing, then it's equivalent to taking away wealth that doesn't belong to him.

Thinking about it that way... that works too.

"Alright, Brother Sao Feng, since it's something you and Zhou Ping agreed on, it's definitely a good thing for me, since I can make money even while lying down."

"Of course, you can rest assured about one thing: if this pile of rough stones really yields a top-quality jadeite, let alone if it's worth 1 million, even if it's worth 100 million, it'll all be yours. I won't be envious at all."

"But similarly, if all these rough stones are opened and they turn out to be worthless, then don't go back on your word."

"Of course," Xiao Feng agreed readily.

However… Yan Wenshan and Jia Yucheng couldn’t understand Xiao Feng’s actions at all.

It didn't matter that Jia Yucheng didn't understand; he just treated it as watching a play.

Yan Wenshan naturally disagreed; he didn't want to see Xiao Feng being fooled.

"Brother Xiao Feng, what are you doing?" Yan Wenshan asked, puzzled. "These low-grade raw stones are worthless. Even if you occasionally find a high-grade one, it's only worth a few hundred thousand at most, and the chances of that are extremely small."

"So this money of yours... is just a complete waste. Yes, I know you probably wanted to help your old classmate, but... is it really necessary to throw away millions like that?"

"And another thing..." Yan Wenshan lowered his voice again, making it barely audible to Xiao Feng, "These days, there's no such thing as friendship between classmates anymore. I was once scammed by an old classmate, so... you'd better be careful."

Yan Wenshan then spoke frankly and sincerely, kindly reminding Xiao Feng.

"Yes, Brother Yan, I understand what you're saying, but... I still choose to trust my old classmate this time."

"Sigh." Yan Wenshan didn't want to say anything more, and couldn't help but sigh, "Touched, truly touched. I never expected that in this day and age, Brother Xiao Feng would still cherish the friendship between classmates. There aren't many good people like you anymore."

"Sigh!" Xiao Feng replied casually, "Everyone has their struggles."

With the agreement reached, the process of cutting things up piece by piece began.

The first piece of raw stone that Xiao Feng picked up was the one he bought for 10 yuan in his previous life.

"Cut this piece first."
