Chapter 49: This is whats called gambling on rocks

  A single "Yang Green" made Lin Luoran a big hit, and the next few pieces of stone that Liu's family bought were more or less profitable, with some even selling for ten times their original price, while others barely broke even. In short, none of the raw stones that Lin Luoran had purchased for Liu's family this time had been sold at a loss!

  They say that immortals can't cut off a piece of jade, but what about the Lin Luo Ran who appeared before their eyes? This is actually the hand of a living immortal! The gazes of the crowd towards Lin Luo Ran became scorching hot, not because of her beauty, but because of those hands that could turn stones into jade!

  Lin Luoran's face turned slightly red, according to her personality, she was originally someone who would rather die than show off like this, keeping a low profile was the way to get rich, and life had long taught Lin Luoran this truth. The problem was, in order to lure Ai Li and Li Anping into the trap, she couldn't help but make a show of herself, and as for the gains and losses involved, even Lin Luoran herself couldn't calculate them clearly at the moment.

  "Don't worry, they're just envious of the Liu family and can't do anything about it." Liu Zhuo comforted her in a soft voice, as if seeing through her concerns.

  Lin Luoran smiled gratefully, knowing that the path he was about to embark on might be a lonely one. Today's glory and doubts, even jealousy, how could they become obstacles on his own path of cultivation?

  Lin Luoran asked herself in her heart, the Lingtai was once again clear and calm, and when she looked at the scorching eyes of the crowd, she became the calm and composed Lin Luoran again.

  Even if it's true, I'll protect you - the words he really wanted to say were on the tip of his tongue, but somehow couldn't be spoken.

  Seeing Lin Luoran's natural expression, he finally put down his worries.

  Not to mention that Liu Zha's uncle now acknowledges the venomous gaze, even Lao Mian, who has been in this line for so many years, and has sold tens of thousands of original stones through his hands, but it is also the first time he has encountered a situation like Lin Luoran.

  This girl is incredibly lucky, fortunately I didn't offend her, otherwise I would regret it for the rest of my life. People in this line of work are all superstitious, Old Mian was secretly relieved.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, you've all come from afar, and it's getting late today. Shall we continue with the auction? ...Why not take advantage of Miss Lin's good luck and sell the main item together?"

  Everyone cheered and applauded, everyone liked to hear such auspicious words. Lin Luo's consecutive opening of several green stones greatly dispelled the bad luck that Ai Li had previously encountered.

  Lao Mian also let out a sigh of relief. If the bad luck from Ai Li earlier had affected the auction of this important piece, he would have been in big trouble. The bigger the raw stone, the harder it is to smuggle. As one can imagine, this giant three-meter-high boulder that two people could barely wrap their arms around must have taken a lot of effort for Lao Mian to transport!

  "Wu Dan, this raw jade has no price tag on it. Now that you're here, can you tell me what the reserve price is?" said the Fujian jade merchant.

  According to Lao Mian's words, this time they are all old pit materials. With so many expert-level buyers present, Lao Mian wouldn't dare lie. Although not every one of them is a green one, only those with green ones have considerable value, which is quite in line with the characteristics of old pit materials.

  In comparison, everyone is more looking forward to this huge stone in front of them. At least such a large raw stone, in one's lifetime, may not be able to buy it with their own hands for the second time.

  When someone asked for the price, Old Myanmar mysteriously stretched out one finger to indicate the price.

  Cui Pangzi jumped up first: "Why don't you go grab it? The reserve price is already 100 million, do you still want to bid?"

  Lao Mian shook his head and corrected him: "It's one million."

  One million? ?

  The people present were in an uproar, originally it was supposed to be 100 million yuan directly, and the bidders would have been those few powerful companies. Now, Lao Mian unexpectedly started with a bid of one million yuan, obviously intending to stir up the water and raise the price.

  Liu Zhaoming whispered: "When will we make our move?"

  Lin Luoran shook her head, "Let's observe for now and not scare her away."

  It's said that the starting price was 10 million, but Aili coldly smiled and directly shouted out "100 million", a high price that instantly jumped by ten times, blocking many people who hadn't even opened their mouths to bid.

  Wang Miao'e had been displeased with her for a long time, without even blinking: "200 million."

  Although it is a rare and huge raw stone, it has not been opened yet, and such a crazy price is really rarely seen.

  The Fujian jade merchant wouldn't let the two female heroes surpass him, so he chimed in: "I can't compare to their wealth and grandeur, I'll add another 50 million, making it 250 million."

  Guangzhou guy shouted, "Three billion five hundred million!" He also saw that Wang Miao and Ai Li were not on the same page, and he wanted to add fuel to the fire, so he added another billion.

  Lao Mian has seen a lot and is well-informed, but it's rare to see people bidding with increments of 10 million at a time. These few people are clearly trying to play psychological warfare, opening their mouths with 10 million to put pressure on their opponents. As a result, neither side has the upper hand. When Lao Mian heard them bidding, he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

  "Xiaoliu, we should think about making a move on this stone too. If we wait till the end and can't hold out for a good price, it's still us Liu family who will lose out."

  Zu Shu looked at Liu Zha and Lin Luoran, both of whom were very concerned about the bidding in the field, but refused to participate, thinking they were still waiting for an opportunity, and couldn't help but interrupt.

  Lin Luoran was not good at speaking, Liu Zhaodan explained lightly: "Uncle, take a look at the atmosphere in the field, can the Liu family hold it? Let's wait and see!"

  Ai Li's eyes were obscured under the toad mirror, and no one could see her expression. Hearing that the bidding for this raw stone started at 10 million, she didn't get angry but instead smiled: "50 million."

  500 million... This sounds like an abstract number. If you convert it into 100-yuan RMB notes, it's enough to kill someone with the weight of the cash.

  Li Anping knew that Ai Li's family was wealthy, but he couldn't imagine it to be this extent, 50 million! It was spent without batting an eye... Thinking of the two being together, Li Anping felt a bit resentful that Ai Li was too stingy with him.

  Li Anping was lost in thought when Aila suddenly asked him, "Didn't you say that Lin's servant girl took care of this stone? Why hasn't Liu's family made a move now? Are you two colluding to set me up?"

  Li An was drenched in cold sweat, if Lin Luo's words were false, even if he was slaughtered and sold as meat, he couldn't bear the responsibility of 50 million. At this time, how dare he say it wasn't true? He could only show his loyalty, having called "darling" a whole basketful, which finally dispelled Ai Li's suspicion.

  "Hmph, I doubt you have the guts for it!"

  Wang Miao added another 10 million, and when the bidding price returned to Ai Li's hands, it had already risen to 90 million...

  That's almost a eight-figure sum of money! The weather in Rui Li is refreshing, and even in winter, the temperature is pleasant, but Li Anping felt that his back was completely soaked with sweat.

  The bidding for the jade stone reached 900 million, but the Liu family still didn't bid. Was this gamble really Lin Luoran's scam?
