As he spoke, he pointed to Lin Yue. The value of this jade is absolutely over 2.6 million, and he was still very happy that Lin Yue could gamble on the rise, after all, it was his own apprentice, but in his heart, there was still a hint of doubt, why did Lin Yue know for sure that he would gamble on the rise?
Ma Lao's gaze shifted back to Lin Yue again upon hearing this.
Lin Yue hesitated for a moment and asked He Chang, "Old He, can this piece of jade be sold to Rong Le Xuan?"
He now only has this piece of jade left, and in a week he will have to follow He Youzang to gamble on stones, so he needs enough money, so he must sell this jade first. The fat water does not flow into the outsider's field, and with Old Ma's relationship, it naturally cannot be sold elsewhere.
"Sold?" He Chang and one dazed, immediately relieved a smile, nodded: "Good, I'll take it for Yu Zang, how about 600,000?"
"Six hundred thousand?" Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat, he had estimated it to be worth three hundred thousand, and hadn't expected it to be worth six hundred thousand. Could Old He be intentionally taking care of him? Lin Yue hesitated.
"Is it because you think the price is too low?" Lin Yue's hesitation made He Zan somewhat puzzled.
"No, I think the price is a bit high, I don't think this jade is worth 600,000, at most it's worth 300,000."
Lin Yue spoke out his true thoughts.
The people next to him were amused, having seen people do business before, but never like this. Others would offer a higher price and still be unwilling, yet he insisted on buying at a low price. It's truly one of the greatest wonders in the world.
"Hehe." He Chang and smiled: "Recently, the price of jade has been rising gradually, and this piece of jade is not as simple as you think. The carving will definitely be a treasure, although it's not very good, but the price won't be too low. If carved well, tens of millions are no problem, sixty million is absolutely not low."
Lin Yue was taken aback and his tongue was tied, but at the same time, he also felt a bit embarrassed. He had received the news several years ago, and now the jade market was changing rapidly, he couldn't keep up with it. If there was an opportunity, he would definitely pay more attention to this kind of information.
"Lao He, this time the jade is yours, right? It's time for me to carve it." Ma Lao was still fixated on the piece of jade in front of him.
"Hehe, don't worry, old horse, this is definitely yours."
The wool business has come to an end, and Lin Yue took the opportunity to pester He Changhe to learn about jade knowledge for his trip to Tengchong next week. He Changhe was helpless against Lin Yue's persistence and could only teach him bit by bit while referring to the processing plant's wool, also warning him to study ceramic knowledge carefully so as not to fall behind. Lin Yue nodded vigorously in agreement on the side.
At night when Lin Yue returned home, he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar person.
"Hello, are you Lin Yue?" a rough but somewhat haggard male voice came from the phone.
"Hello, it's me. What can I do for you?" Lin Yue was very certain that he had never heard this voice before.
Lin Yue admitted, the other side became somewhat excited: "Hello, hello, this morning my daughter found you, then you spent 260,000 to buy a piece of jade wool?"
"Your daughter is Ming Yiran, right? It was me who bought it."
"It's you, I'm sorry, the child doesn't understand, she doesn't know what's important, that jade wool is not worth that much money. I know you're a kind person, but we can't accept your money. Give me your card number and I'll return the money to you." Ming Yiran's father said with some anxiety in his voice.
Lin Yue was shocked and moved by these words, feeling a deep sense of emotion in his heart.
What an honest person! His mother is seriously ill in bed, he would rather bear the responsibility himself than take a sum of money that goes against his conscience.
It's probably only parents like these who can raise someone as innocent as Ming.
Listening to the other person's voice, Lin Yue imagined a simple middle-aged man with a rugged appearance, pale complexion, but his eyes revealed determination. The hardships of life could not crush him, he had his own code of conduct. He would never take anything that wasn't his.
Lin Yue slowly suppressed the emotion in his heart and tried to make his voice stable, saying: "You don't have to pay me back that money, the wool fabric is really worth that much."
"You don't have to cheat me, I've asked many people and they all say it's a piece of junk." The man's voice was very sincere.
"What I said is true, absolutely no deception. This afternoon I unwrapped that piece of wool and found jade inside, so you can rest assured to accept the money, it's more important for the old man to see a doctor."
"You're not kidding me, are you? That piece of wool really produced jade?"
"Really, I didn't cheat you." Lin Yue's tone was very affirmative.
The man remained silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, his voice choked with sobs and said: "Thank you, you are a good person. No one else would give so much money to a little kid like me. Our whole family will be grateful to you. If it weren't for your money, I really don't know how the old man's surgery would have been done tonight..."
As he said this, the man's voice suddenly stopped, and a faint cry could be heard from the phone.
That sob was like a stone pressing tightly on Lin Yue's chest, making him feel extremely stuffy. A man has tears but doesn't easily shed them, only when the emotions run deep.
Lin Yue can imagine how great the pressure on Ming Yiran's father has been these past few days. If not for Ming Yiran unexpectedly hugging the woolen blanket and appearing by his side today, if he hadn't had the ability to see inside the blanket, and if he was a heartless and selfish person, a life might have just left this world like that.
He had a lifesaving sum of money, but when his mother was about to have surgery, he called someone else to return the money. Lin Yue felt that he couldn't do something like this. It wasn't that Ming's father was unfilial, from his crying voice Lin Yue could tell that such a person had a filial heart, but some things were incomparable. Lin Yue knew that if the other party returned this sum of money to him, even if they sold their blood or organs, they would cure their own mother.
Having such a son, what more can his mother ask for?
"Shouldn't we go save the old man instead? Is that amount of money enough?" Lin Yue took a deep breath, suppressing his inner emotions and tried to ask in a steady voice.
"Enough... enough already." The voice was choked with sobs, mixed with a pitiful cry.
"If there's anything you need help with, just give me a call."
"Thank you..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yue's mood couldn't calm down for a long time, secretly praying that Grandma Ming would be lucky and escape this disaster.
Qin Yaoyao walked into Lin Yue's room and saw that Lin Yue's face looked a bit off, so she asked with concern: "Are you okay? Your face looks a bit off."
"It's nothing." Lin Yue said with a wave of his hand.
"Really nothing?" Qin Yaoyao asked again, Lin Yue's more and more let her worry.
