Power and wealth bring fragrance

Are you really sure?

After the crowd dispersed, Liu Xiangrong pulled Wei Yuan to a corner and asked him a question.

Wei Yuan nodded and asked in a soft voice.

"You're not angry with me?"

Liu Xiangrong looked at him in surprise.

"Yue Qingsheng and I don't get along. Every time we meet, he always manages to cause some trouble."

"Even without you, he would find other reasons. Why should I blame you?"

"So you really think rough stone number 047 is no good?"

Wei Yuan felt a warmth in his heart and said resolutely.

"That really won't work!"

"Perhaps I haven't told you, but I have a very keen ear. I can tell the texture of something just by its sound."

"Rough stone No. 047 has absolutely no chance of containing green!"

Liu Xiangrong seemed to be deep in thought, and after a moment of contemplation, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.

"I was originally quite optimistic about rough stone number 047, but since you say so, then we'll skip this one and just pick up the other rough stones we're interested in."

As soon as she said that, the two jade gambling experts who had been silent couldn't sit still anymore.

Li Cheng, with his graying hair and beard, couldn't help but retort, "Miss, 047 is the best quality rough stone in the market."

"Even at the Annamite jade auction, rough stones of this quality are rare. It would be such a waste to give them up!"

Another expert in jade gambling, Qian Miao, also agreed, but looked at Wei Yuan with great displeasure.

"Mr. Wei, I would believe you if you said you could tell there was something wrong with the raw stone, but to be able to tell whether a raw stone contains green just by listening to it is simply a fantasy."

"Since the jade gambling industry began, I've never heard of anyone being able to discern the texture of a rough stone. It's absurd!"

Wei Yuan shrugged and did not argue.

Both of them were part of Liu Xiangrong's father's inner circle, acting like retainers, and were extremely loyal to Liu Xiangrong.

They questioned whether Wei Yuan was trying to protect Liu Xiangrong's interests, and since they hadn't witnessed Wei Yuan's abilities, their disbelief was understandable.

Anyway, once the results are out, they'll naturally know whether it's true or false.

Liu Xiangrong, however, had already made up her mind.

"Given the bet we just made, Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai will definitely do everything in their power to win over rough stone number 047. They can't afford to lose face like that!"

"So our chances of winning were already slim, and there's no need to waste time on it."

Hearing Liu Xiangrong's explanation, Li Cheng and Qian Miao, though helpless, did not object anymore.

The boss has already decided to throw money at it, what can they say?

When Liu Xiangrong and Wei Yuan went to look at the other raw stones, the two old men, Li Cheng and Qian Miao, exchanged a worried glance, and Li Cheng couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

"Where did this pretty boy come from? How did he manage to be so infatuated with the young lady?"

Qian Miao shook his head. "No matter where he comes from, we need to be on our toes. The original Zhao Xuan, though a good-for-nothing, was self-aware and didn't interfere in the group's affairs. But this pretty boy has already influenced Miss's decisions as soon as he arrived."

"If anyone harbors even the slightest ulterior motive, this enormous corporation could be in danger!"

"When the master left, he asked us to keep an eye on Miss for him, and not let this pretty boy ruin the company!"

Having made their plans, the two became extremely wary of Wei Yuan.

Soon the organizers of the conference issued a notice that the viewing period was over and that they should start bidding.

This auction will use a sealed-bid auction method. Everyone will write down the number of the rough stone they want to bid on and the bid price on the bidding form, sign it, and then put the bidding form into the numbered box corresponding to the rough stone being bid on.

Once the box is sealed, it is locked and no more bids can be placed.

After all the containers are sealed, the organizer will open the bids for each container one by one, and the highest bidder wins.

All the participants were experienced, and the form-filling and bidding process was very smooth.

Wei Yuan also took a bidding form, wrote down the number "50000" and threw it into the bidding box for the 011 rough stone.

The value of rough stone No. 011 is definitely far more than 50,000 yuan. However, although it is from an old mine, it is too small and is not favored by people.

So, the price of 50,000 is neither too high nor too low; it's just right.

The bidding ended half an hour later, and all bid boxes were sealed.

The organizers didn't waste any time and immediately started opening bids one by one.

"Raw stone No. 01 was won by Mr. Yue of Taiyue Group with a bid of 10 yuan."

"Raw stone No. 02 was won by Mr. Wang of Zhongcheng Jewelry Company with a bid of 2 yuan."

……

Soon they arrived at rough stone number 011, and the host announced loudly.

"Rough stone No. 011 has been won by Mr. Wei Yuan with a bid of 5!"

Wei Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled with great surprise.

bingo!

Based on the quality of rough stone No. 011, it's no problem to increase its value tenfold!

This money came way too easily!

Wei Yuan immediately became determined to make money through gambling on stones.

When Liu Xiangrong heard that Wei Yuan had actually spent money to gamble on stones, she couldn't help but nudge Wei Yuan with concern.

"Are you serious? Aren't you afraid of losing out?"

Liu Xiangrong knew Wei Yuan's background well; how much money could a locksmith make?

Not to mention that Wei Yuan also has a vampire girlfriend, Lin Weiwei, which makes it even harder for him to save money.

Fifty thousand yuan, that's probably all of his savings.

Wei Yuan, unaware of Liu Xiangrong's worries, spoke with a confident expression.

"I told you my ears are very sharp, don't worry, this stone will definitely be a success!"

Seeing Wei Yuan's confidence, Liu Xiangrong didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so she said nothing more.

It's only 50,000 yuan. The watch she bought for Wei Yuan cost more than that. So be it. It'll teach Wei Yuan a lesson.

The jade gambling business is not easy to get started with.

The host continued bidding, and Liu Xiangrong and her group won several rough stones during the process, but the total price was not high, costing less than two million.

When the host started opening the box containing rough stone number 047, everyone instantly perked up.

This is the grand finale of the day, how can you miss it!

Then the host said...

"Raw stone No. 047 was won by a joint bid of 3000 million from Taiyue Group and Bafu Group!"

"Whoosh!"

The entire audience erupted in an instant, with countless eyes, some excited and others watching the spectacle, turning towards Yue Qingsheng and Wei Yuan respectively!

The ownership of the rough stone has been determined, and the betting game is automatically established!

With a winning bid of 3000 million, according to the rules of the game, this is a high-stakes gamble of 600 million!

Even in Las Vegas, this amount is not small, how could they not be excited!

No one cared about the subsequent bidding; everyone's attention was focused on the betting game, and they were excitedly discussing it.

However, most people still believe that Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai will win.

There's no other reason than that rough stone number 047 was simply too good!

The real climax only arrived after the host had opened all the bids for the rough stones!

Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai stood on either side of the No. 047 rough stone, their faces full of proud smiles.

Yue Qingsheng addressed the crowd from all directions in a loud voice.

"I'm sure you've all heard about our bet. To be fair, I've already discussed it with Mr. Tang, and we've agreed to cut it right here!"

"Please bear witness, everyone. Without further ado, let's get started!"

Before he finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in cheers.

Amidst the cacophony of noise, Yue Qingsheng's gaze fell upon Wei Yuan and Liu Xiangrong. He arrogantly pointed at them with his finger, revealing a smug and chilling smile.

"Get your money ready."

"You're doomed!"
