The Way of Heaven Rewards Diligence in Film and Television

Chapter 75 has increased, increased dramatically.

Seeing that Lin Yang had almost turned over all the stones on the stall, the girl tending the stall couldn't help but ask, "Handsome, haven't you found anything you like?"

Lin Yang, who subconsciously shook his head, touched a piece of leather with slightly yellowed fur. Seeing the progress bar suddenly advance more than halfway, he couldn't help but freeze slightly.

Lin Yang carefully examined the slightly gritty yellow rough stone in his hand and noticed that the progress bar was moving forward and backward, almost always maintaining a progress of 40% to 50%. The other side of the rough stone had reached a progress of about 80%.

Lin Yang wasn't sure if this progress referred to the quantity or quality of the jade inside, but there was no doubt that it definitely showed signs of jade!

"Jin Hua, how much is this?" Lin Yang asked the girl running the stall without hesitation.

The girl smiled and said repeatedly, "Fifty thousand!"

"How much?" Lin Yang frowned upon hearing this, almost suspecting that the other party was trying to rip him off.

"Handsome, this piece of material looks good. It's genuine yellow salt sand skin material, and there's a high chance it will turn into bright green. It's definitely worth the price," the girl quickly explained.

Yellow salt sand skin? Lin Yang's most impressive impression was of black sand skin, which could be cut into rough stones with glass-type imperial green material. His knowledge of the others was limited.

Just as Lin Yang frowned, about to bargain, excited cheers came from the crowd watching the stone-cutting machine.

"Handsome, this is your material! Looks like it's going to be a hit!" the girl said with some surprise and delight.

"Did it go up?" Lin Yang raised an eyebrow, not too surprised, but looked at the girl strangely. He had already bought the material, so whether it went up or down was none of the seller's business, right? Why was she so happy?

"Come here..." The girl who called out to him then ran towards the stone-cutting machine.

Holding the chosen stone, Lin Yang hurriedly followed.

"Brother, it's saturated, the water flow is good, do you want to continue wiping or..." the girl's brother asked with a smile.

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "No need to cut it. I've picked another piece. Anyone want to buy this one that's been polished and improved?"

"Young man, you're selling?" A middle-aged man nearby exclaimed, "I'm willing to give you 20,000!"

"Twenty thousand? This piece of jade has already increased in value after being polished, and you're only offering twenty thousand for this quality?" A chubby man immediately said, "I'll offer thirty thousand!"

"A slight increase doesn't count as a significant increase. If it weren't for this level of translucency, this piece of material wouldn't be worth tens of thousands." The middle-aged man shook his head.

"I can't give 30,000 without a good performance," the chubby older brother said, then turned to Lin Yang and said, "Young man, this isn't a low offer for me, considering I'm taking a risk. If this is all I get, I'll be at a loss!"

"Brother Yao, since you're afraid of the risks, why don't you just give it to me? I'll add five thousand, how about thirty-five thousand?" said the young boss, who was watching the stall.

"Ah Fa, what are you doing..." The fat man was speechless.

Lin Yang's expression shifted as he looked at the young boss, Ah Fa: "I don't want the money. How about you use this piece of material as payment?"

"Use the material as payment?" Ah Fa looked at the piece of raw material Lin Yang was holding, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, we'll use it as payment."

"Ah Fa, you're really good at business. Is this piece of material worth 35,000?" the fat man couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Yao, I need capital to buy raw jadeite too!" Ah Fa said with a hint of helplessness, then turned to Lin Yang and said, "How about this, I'll let you pick out another piece of raw jadeite under five thousand later!"

"Raw materials under five thousand? I wouldn't take them even if you gave them to me for free," Fatty Yao shook his head upon hearing this.

Lin Yang didn't care. Since it was free, he might as well take it. He still had some smaller pieces of material that he hadn't picked out yet! As long as one piece contained jade, he would make a huge profit.

"Okay, boss, do as you say, cut this piece of material open for me first," Lin Yang said, handing over the rough piece of material in his hand. It was about the size of a water ladle and quite heavy.

The shopkeeper took the bruised fabric off the table and had her sister put it away. Then she looked at Lin Yang and asked, "This doesn't need polishing, right? Should we just cut it?"

"Okay, boss, you cut it as you see fit. I'll go pick out a small piece," Lin Yang said, and then went to pick out the raw material under everyone's slightly astonished gazes.

Fatty Yao caught up with Lin Yang, gave him a thumbs-up, and laughed, "Brother, great attitude! You're not even looking at materials worth tens of thousands of yuan?"

"Anyway, it'll take a while to cut it, and even if I watch over it, I might not be able to cut out any jade. If there really is jade, it doesn't matter whether I watch over it or not," Lin Yang said.

"Look at how calm and collected you are, brother. You seem to know your stuff, don't you?" Fatty Yao said with an even wider smile.

Lin Yang shook his head and smiled: "I wouldn't say I understand, I only know a little bit. To be honest, this is my first time gambling on stones."

"That's really hard to believe," Fatty Yao said with a surprised laugh. "You didn't continue cutting after your first time gambling on rough stones, even though you found something you liked?"

"I just think that no one can always be lucky. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'A bump is still a bump,'" Lin Yang said with a smile.

"Not greedy, calm enough, brother, this mindset is suitable for gambling on stones," Fatty Yao nodded and smiled, seemingly appreciating Lin Yang even more.

Seeing Lin Yang walk to the rough stone stall and examine some of the smaller rough stones, Fatty Yao couldn't help but say, "Brother, these stones are almost all waste. The chances of finding jade are too small. Even if you do, you'll be lucky to make a pendant."

"Yeah, but what can you expect from something that's free?" Lin Yang shook his head and smiled noncommittally. "If it goes up by one, then I've made a profit."

"Haha... young man, you're quite an interesting person," Fatty Yao laughed.

Lin Yang, who was picking and choosing, quickly selected several pieces and said to the girl next to him who was greeting other customers buying raw materials, "Jin Hua, can I pick a few more? If not, I'll pay extra for the others."

"These pieces together aren't even worth five thousand," said Fatty Yao.

The young boss, Ah Fa, came over, took a look, and said with a smile, "Brother, these are all yours for the taking."

"That's more like it. My little brother of mine made a fortune from a single piece of rough jade, bringing you so much business. You wouldn't even give away a few scraps. I won't come to you for rough jade next time. I'll go to Ruili; there are plenty of good pieces to choose from," Fatty Yao said with a satisfied smile.

"How can this be considered waste? Although the pieces are small, they're all uncut," a young woman standing nearby couldn't help but say.

"Amei," Ah Fa frowned and glanced at her.

Fatty Yao laughed: "It's not waste material, but it's a free bonus when you buy raw materials, right? I don't need to tell you how small the probability of finding jade is, otherwise a piece wouldn't only sell for a few hundred yuan, or even less."

"Even the worst quality rough stones can sometimes yield jadeite," Lin Yang said. "Besides, these stones are just small, not that bad. Let's give it a try; maybe we can find jadeite inside!"

"Yes!" Ah Fa said with a smile.

Fatty Yao smiled noncommittally: "Alright, I'll try to unravel it later!"

As they were talking, the rough stone had already been cut. Ah Fa went over and lifted the cover of the stone-cutting machine, and was immediately surprised.

"Haha...it's gone up! It's gone up a lot!" Fatty Yao leaned over to take a look and laughed with delight, urging, "Quick, take it out and let me see! The water has completely melted, it's glutinous ice, it's even reached the quality of ice jade."

When Ah Fa took down the cut pieces, Lin Yang stepped forward and his eyes lit up. The cut surface of the meat was delicate and the green color was obvious. It was a uniform ice-green color and looked extremely beautiful.

"This piece of material can yield two more pieces. If they're all of this quality, we can make more than ten bracelets. Add in other pendants and other items, and the value will be close to a million. That's a huge increase!" Fatty Yao said with a laugh, patting Lin Yang on the shoulder.
