My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

"You've added another two million, you bastard. Do you have money to burn? Fine, I'll just put up thirty million. Add more if you want."

Enraged by Mr. Qian, the owner surnamed Chen immediately raised the price by two million, bringing the price of the rough stone to thirty million.

"Wow, the price has suddenly soared to 30 million! That's so exciting! I never thought I'd be lucky enough to see someone cut out a rough stone that would increase in value a hundredfold."

"I wonder if Mr. Qian will raise the price further. I think this price of 30 million is already a bit too high."

"That's right. If it weren't for that Mr. Chen's stubbornness, the price of this rough stone would only be around 28 million at most. But even if we get it for 30 million, we might not lose money. It's just that we might have worked for nothing."

Although there is no uniform standard for the price of raw stones, some experienced people can tell their value at a glance. The price of 30 million for this raw stone is indeed high.

"Boss Qian, what's wrong with you? If you don't bid soon, this rough stone is mine."

Seeing that Boss Qian was frowning and hesitating, clearly not wanting to bid any further, Boss Chen couldn't help but mock him.

"Mr. Chen, I must say you are truly generous. I'll let you have this rough stone; I'm withdrawing from the bidding."

In the end, Mr. Qian gave up. It wasn't that he didn't want the rough stone, but it wasn't worth spending millions more just to spite Mr. Chen.

"Haha... Mr. Qian, you do have some sense. Young man, give me your bank card number and I'll transfer the money to you right away."

"Sorry, I'm not selling!"

Su Muchen's words, "Not for sale," made the atmosphere tense once again.

"What do you mean? You're not selling? Young man, are you playing us for fools?"

Mr. Chen was also furious. He argued with Mr. Qian until they were red in the face, and finally he won. But now the seller said he wouldn't sell anymore. Wasn't this just playing them for fools?

"It's not that I won't sell, it's more accurate to say that I won't sell to you."

"Young man, what do you mean by that? The rule in the jade gambling world has always been that the highest bidder wins. I've offered the highest price, and no one else has bid. If you don't sell it to me, who else can you sell it to?"

"An extra million or two doesn't matter to me. The main thing is that I don't like your character. The stuff is mine, and I can sell it to whoever I want. You're that Mr. Qian, right? I sold it to you for 28 million."

"What? Young man, you're saying you want to sell it to me for twenty-eight million?"

Boss Qian was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard, but when he saw Su Muchen nod, he realized he hadn't misheard.

In fact, Su Muchen had overheard the conversation between the two bosses, Qian and Chen, from the very beginning. Boss Chen was full of wicked intentions and was always trying to lower the price.

But that Mr. Qian is different. He always makes reasonable and rational offers. You don't have to worry about being ripped off when doing business with someone like that.

Most importantly, Su Muchen didn't intend to make a one-off deal. If Boss Qian had the ability, he could trade with him for any raw stones he liked at the trade fair. That was why Su Muchen was willing to sell to Boss Qian even if it meant earning one or two million less.

"Hey, Mr. Qian, are you trying to break the rules? You clearly withdrew from the bidding, and now you're interfering again. Do you think I don't exist?"

"Hey Chen, you don't need to be so arrogant. We know each other inside and out, so there's no need for threats. Besides, it's not that I'm trying to take it from you. It's that this young man wants to buy it from me. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for playing tricks and trying to drive down the price. Now, even this young man can't stand it anymore."

Boss Qian was a shrewd man and more or less figured out what Su Muchen was thinking. He simply felt that Boss Chen was a bad person and would rather earn two million less than do business with such a person.

"Kid, do you know who I am? Are you sure you don't want to leave yourself a way out? In this jade gambling circle, I still have some influence. Aren't you afraid I'll trip you up in the future?"

Seeing that threatening Boss Qian was useless, Boss Chen turned his attention to Su Muchen, feeling that he could easily control such a young upstart.

Little did Su Muchen know that he disregarded Boss Chen's threats and simply smiled contemptuously at them.

"I'll be watching closely, young man. Boss Chen is always welcome to give me your guidance."

"You... fine, very well, we'll see about that, hmph..."

Seeing that Su Muchen was not swayed by his threats, Boss Chen felt like a clown in everyone's eyes, so he could only utter a harsh remark and storm off.

"Young man, I don't know how to address you yet. My name is Qian Yutang, and I'm a local from Jiangnan Province."

"Brother Qian, you're too kind. My name is Su Muchen, and I'm currently staying in Jiangbei Province."

"Thank you for giving me face, Brother Su. Don't worry, that guy surnamed Chen has been my rival for many years. If he does anything to harm you, I will definitely stand up for you."

"It's alright, he can't do anything to me. But thank you anyway, Brother Qian. By the way, how much money do you have, Brother Qian?"

"Forehead……"

Su Muchen's direct question left Qian Yutang speechless.

"Brother Qian, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean any harm. I was just thinking that if you have enough funds, I'll sell all the good rough stones I find to you. That way, I won't have to look for buyers anymore."

"Oh, so that's what it is. That's great! As long as Brother Su has any more high-quality raw stones, I'll buy them all. I'm not bragging, but in the entire jade industry of Jiangnan Province, no one has as much cash flow as I do. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, as long as it doesn't exceed this amount, I'll buy it all."

As Qian Yutang spoke, he made a "ten" gesture, which made his meaning clear: as long as it didn't exceed one billion, he could handle it.

"Wow! I didn't expect Brother Qian to be so capable. I hope that in future transactions, Brother Qian can give me a reasonable price. I'm really short of money right now."

"That's easy to say. The price you offer will definitely not be lower than the market price. I have always operated with integrity, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to build this business."

"Haha... Well then, Brother Qian, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

The two reached a pleasant agreement, and Qian Yutang was about to transfer 28 million to Su Muchen, but Su Muchen stopped him.

"Brother Qian, there's no rush for the money. I still have a piece of rough stone that hasn't been cut yet. How about we settle the payment after this piece is cut?"

"That works, but I don't know what the quality of the remaining rough stone is like. But don't worry, Brother Su, even if the quality of the cut stone is poor, I'll cover for you. Consider it making friends."

"Hehe! Brother Qian, don't be in such a hurry, there might be a surprise later!"

After Su Muchen finished speaking, he went to the stone-cutting platform and used a paintbrush to draw two lines on the remaining raw stone.

"Master, don't stop, just cut both sides open!"

"Alright!"

The machines started running again, and the scene fell silent once more as everyone held their breath, anticipating the exciting moment to come.
