Lin Yue's departure took away the surrounding people, and the middle-aged stall owner's stall was completely deserted. The person who was just looking at woolen goods there also left.
What good wool can be bought from such vendors!
The middle-aged stall owner looked at the crowd in the distance with a desire to cry but no tears, feeling as if he had lost his wife and soldiers. He couldn't help but sigh when he saw Lin Yue take out 100 yuan, and felt deceived. His eyes filled with resentment as he gazed at Lin Yue's back, his face turning gloomy.
After a long time, the middle-aged stall owner let out a deep sigh, and his whole person became extremely decadent.
If you didn't always think of taking advantage of each other, you wouldn't be deceived.
It's hard to blame others.
The people around saw Lin Yue's skilled movements operating the stone cutter, and they couldn't help but let out a sigh of amazement. When had they ever seen such skilled stone-cutting techniques? For a moment, everyone's expression changed as they looked at Lin Yue, and what was originally perhaps just envy of his luck now turned into deep admiration.
There were many jewelers around, if they didn't know Lin Yue's background, they would have thrown out an olive branch to bring him under their own banner and make him work for themselves.
Soon, Lin Yue took out the jade from the wool and it was the same as what he saw, the size of a baby's fist with a dark green stripe inside.
If it weren't for that colored stripe, this piece of jade would be worth at most a few tens of thousands of dollars, but with the stripe, its price has doubled.
Although the jadeite is not small in size and its transparency is not very good, it is valuable for having no impurities or cracks inside, and also has a color band, which can be considered as a good quality jadeite.
After seeing the jadeite, the hearts of the surrounding jewelers began to stir, and they all started calculating the price of this piece of jadeite in front of them.
The bidding started again soon.
"Two hundred thousand! I'll give you two hundred thousand."
The pot-bellied businessman who just bid is bidding again. He now regrets not raising the price earlier, wasting such a good opportunity.
"Two million one hundred thousand!" Another bid was made from the crowd.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand..."
……
The price soon soared to 310,000 and then began to rise slowly afterwards.
Lin Yue's face always wore a faint smile as he listened to the quotes around him, unmoved.
The price was quickly fixed at 3.26 million yuan, Lin Yue nodded secretly, this price is already not bad, just as he was about to agree, a very powerful voice suddenly came out from the crowd
"Four hundred thousand!"
The voice was very soft, but everyone present heard it. The merchant who made the final bid heard this price and his smile immediately froze. Everyone looked around to find that the one who made the bid was actually the same merchant who originally bid 1.7 million.
At this time, Lin Yue finally took a good look at the businessman in front of him. He was over 50 years old and looked very wealthy, but he had maintained his figure well, without the beer belly that came from eating too much rich food. His face wore a faint smile, the kind of person who gave people a good impression at first glance.
The businessman smiled slightly at Lin Yue, and Lin Yue also smiled and nodded.
Four hundred thousand is already the highest price for this piece of jade, and after processing, there is hardly any profit to be made, so all bidders have retreated in the face of the price of four hundred thousand.
The deal was done, and with another transaction, the people around them left chatting. Forty thousand may not be a big rise, but five hundred yuan opening to forty thousand jade is absolutely a big rise.
Lin Yue took out 1,000 yuan and gave it to the stall owner. Although the wool was not bought from here, good luck should be shared by everyone. The stall owner also smiled and accepted it, thanking him and saying a few words of blessing. Afterwards, Lin Yue left with the businessman.
The businessman originally wanted to give Lin Yue a check, but was rejected by Lin Yue. What if the check got lost? Moreover, this place is unfamiliar with local customs and security situation, in case it was stolen, it would be a loss. So the two went to the bank on Jade Stone Street for a transfer.
After the transfer was completed, **the merchant took out a gold-edged business card and handed it to Lin Yue with both hands. His demeanor was elegantly refined, an unmistakable sign of someone with exceptional upbringing.**
Lin Yue took the business card and this was his first time seeing a gold-plated one, his eyes couldn't help but flash with surprise. The business card only had the name and contact information on it, just like He Changhe's, without any other details.
Zhou Decheng?
Lin Yue looked at him with suspicion.
Businessman Zhou De-sheng smiled faintly and said: "Let's be friends, who knows, maybe we'll have business dealings in the future."
Zhou De-sheng's Mandarin is very good, completely without the tone of merchant Cantonese.
Lin Yue nodded and then said slightly awkwardly: "Sorry, I don't have a business card."
Zhou De Sheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we'll meet again if fate allows it."
After finishing speaking, he apologized and said goodbye, leaving with his bodyguard.
Lin Yue gazed at Zhou De Sheng's back, with a faint premonition in his heart that they would meet again, not just for these few days, but also in the future. He put away the business card and turned to leave.
By six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yue hadn't encountered any other good wool, but having made a profit of four hundred thousand on the first day was still quite an achievement, it was a good start and a good omen.
Lin Yue arrived at the intersection where he had agreed to meet He Ge, and found that the other party was already waiting for him there. There was no wool in his hand, it seemed that there was no harvest today.
He Youzang saw Lin Yue coming over and asked, "This afternoon a young man spent 500 yuan to buy a piece of wood that was used for shaving horses' hooves, betting it would rise to 400,000. That person should be you, right?"
Lin Yue was taken aback, how did He Youzang know? Then he thought of the speed at which news of wins and losses on Yu Shi Street spread, and it all made sense. At this point, probably even a three-year-old child would know that they had won.
Lin Yue nodded and admitted, "It was me, but I just got lucky. There really was a piece of wood-chopping wool fabric in that pile of wool, and there was also a very thin python belt underneath with some green on it. The stall owner didn't notice it, so I did."
He Youzang nodded and said, "Let's go. We'll rest tonight and continue tomorrow."
As he spoke, he walked straight in the direction of the hotel.
Lin Yue has become accustomed to He Yuzhu's indifference and followed him with a faint smile, walking towards the distance.
At night, Lin Yue called Qin Yaoyao. Although they had only been apart for a day and the time was similar to when they were working, the call lasted an hour and a half, with one hour of silence, struggling to find words to say. Despite this, both of them felt extremely sweet and happy in their hearts.
