In an instant, the crowd, originally imrsed in the jade, burst open like popcorn.
"Imperial jade?"
"It really is imperial jade!"
"I never thought I’d see top-quality jade in my lifeti. I can die without regrets now! Die without regrets!"
Imperial jade, with a true green, deep hue, akin to eralds, gives off a bluish tint in the green but doesn’t deviate from the color. Imperial green is the best color in jadeite, the highest valued green, also called "erald green," giving a sense of noble beauty. Imperial green refers to a unique color, very green, so green it seems to drip like oil.
So this is the legendary imperial jade! Lin Wan thought to herself as she listened to the crowd’s discussions.
Looking at Han Yi, his nervous hands were sweating, and so were Han Yi’s.
Lin Wan thought secretly that with such a good piece of jade, they must have made a fortune.
Did they really beco rich overnight?
"One hundred fifty thousand!" Just as Lin Wan and Han Yi were still imrsed in their joy, soone couldn’t wait to make an offer. After speaking, seeing everyone looking at him, his old face suddenly turned red, realizing he was too impatient. But there was no other way; after all, this was a rare piece of top-quality jade!
He hurriedly asked Han Yi, who hadn’t spoken yet: "Young brother, I’m the manager of Jici Jewelry. May I ask if you are selling this piece of jade?"
"Of course." What would they keep it for if not selling? Selling it could open the clothing factory for his wife.
"So, do you think one hundred fifty thousand is okay?" His tone was extrely cautious.
The couple didn’t understand the market price in this business. However, one hundred fifty thousand was already an astronomical amount to them, enough for her to sell clothes for several years, let alone resisting Han Yi’s salary that could last for decades. Just as Han Yi was about to respond, a high-handed voice interrupted him—it was Old Ugly, "Two hundred thousand, no money and you still want top-quality jade."
The words made the manager’s face turn livid, yet he had to bear it because this ugly man was not easy to provoke. This person had always been ruthless, resorting to any ans necessary, and as just an employee, he really couldn’t afford to offend him. Despite his frustration, he had to swallow his pride.
Seeing the Jici Jewelry manager sensibly withdrawing from the competition, Old Ugly smiled with satisfaction, considering himself suave as he smiled at Han Yi and Lin Wan. "One hundred fifty thousand, how about it?" "But..." Lin Wan and Han Yi didn’t like this guy, but they couldn’t resist money either. Just as they were about to speak, soone interrupted them again.
"Two hundred thousand." It was the young boy speaking. Seeing such a rare piece of top-quality jade, everyone wanted to own it, and he was no saint. With this piece of jade, he could surely boost his family’s jewelry company to a higher level, hence the scene just now.
"Yang again, it’s you!" Old Ugly saw it was this young kid again, and his anger rose once more.
Seeing the young kid remain unmoved, smiling like a devil, the people around couldn’t help but sigh: The difference is clear!
Lin Wan understood at this mont that this kid was probably a rich second generation, whose family was wealthy, so money shouldn’t be a problem.
Han Yi looked at the two, realizing his piece of jade probably had more room to rise.
Sure enough, listening to the whispers in the crowd, he learned these two had always been rivals in the business world, and Old Ugly, despite his years, couldn’t compete with a re teenager from the Yang family. Naturally, Old Ugly wasn’t willing to back down. "Two... twelve hundred thousand."
Old Ugly’s words only made those present despise him. Damn, he acted all arrogant earlier like he was the richest, but when the Old Yang Family added one hundred thousand, he only added ten thousand.
"Two hundred fifty thousand," the young boy continued raising the bid.
Since he had already lost face, the ugly man continued stubbornly like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, "Two hundred sixty thousand."
"Three hundred thousand" barely after Old Ugly finished speaking, the young boy raised the bid again.
Ultimately, Old Ugly couldn’t compete with the Yang family, and this piece of jade was taken by the Yang Family’s young grandson for five hundred thousand.
At this mont, Lin Wan and Han Yi were dumbfounded. Five hundred thousand. Five hundred thousand. They originally ca here just to browse and gain so knowledge. Who could have thought a pie would fall from the sky, hitting them both so dizzy?
"Two elder brother and sister. There’s a savings bank up ahead. I can wire the money to your bankbook. It’s also for your good; getting such a sum for nothing draws attention," the young boy surnad Yang calmly walked up to them, as if he had seen such scenes many tis and was used to it. "Thank you, we have a bankbook," luckily, Lin Wan kept all precious items with her, carrying a small backpack. Dare not leave it at the hotel for fear of thieves.
"Okay, should we go to the savings bank then?"
There is one nearby, set up specifically for the market people.
Han Yi nodded, and after paying the stone opening fee, the two followed the young boy under others’ envious and jealous gazes. When passing by the old man selling brush holders, Lin Wan directly bought both brush holders grandly without bargaining a single cent.
"Little girl, this ti you bought well, it’ll earn you money in the future."
"Sir, stop teasing , I just thought they looked good, bought to use as decoration. Don’t worry, I’ll be the sucker this ti."
"Hmph, don’t appreciate good stuff, these are genuine," the old man counted the money, stuffed it into his pocket, angry at himself.
Han Yi chuckled, carrying the two brush holders, and went to a nearby savings bank with Lin Wan.
Since wiring money took so ti, the young kid didn’t have to handle it himself, letting two subordinates manage it. The savings bank even had dedicated staff to serve them.
"Brother, you have a good eye. Whenever you have good ones available again, sell them to ," the young kid was quite good at doing business.
His words made Han Yi smile, "We just happened to co by, randomly picked two stones, and unexpectedly struck it lucky."
"Wow, brother, your good fortune is not bad; this sum is enough for two generations of food and drink back ho,"
Listening to the Yang Family’s kid, Lin Wan couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. This kid was too straightforward.
"However, I see Brother and Sister are lucky. If you ever play again, rember to look for at Yang Family Baoshi Jewelry Store when you find good goods. I’m Yang Kui Bao. Our family has been in the jewelry business for generations, even have stores overseas."
"Of course, of course,"
"Brother and sister, may I know your nas and where you’re from?"
"Han Yi, my wife Lin Wan, from C city," Han Yi casually ntioned a place, with caution in mind.
"Brother Han and Sister Lin, nice to et you,"
So fifty hundred thousand were deposited into Lin Wan’s account, and Lin Wan counted the zeros behind several tis. After delivering the goods, Han Yi bid farewell to the Yang Family’s kid and quickly led Lin Wan towards a busy street.
"Ai Yi, why are we walking so fast?" Lin Wan, with a smile, hadn’t yet cald her excitent. She estimated that for at least a month, no, two months, she would wake up laughing.
Han Yi held her tightly and whispered, "There are a few people following us."
"Ah," Lin Wan exclaid, quickly stopping herself. Han Yi blocked her head with his hand, preventing her from looking back.
Seeing Han Yi’s cautious appearance, Lin Wan’s initial excitent and thrill have utterly vanished.
"What should we do?"
"Don’t be afraid, they’re just a few punks. I can handle them. Stay close to ."
"Okay," Lin Wan clutched her small bag and two brush holders tightly as she quickly followed Han Yi into a dead-end alley.
Han Yi placed Lin Wan behind him. As soon as they entered, three burly n with wooden sticks appeared behind them.
"Brothers, be sensible and leave your belongings," one of the rugged n leading the group pointed at Lin Wan’s bag.
Lin Wan nervously guarded her bag. It was a ti when there was no such thing as manually inputting through a password device, all withdrawals were without a password, done by passbook.
Han Yi cautiously warned them, "I advise you all, don’t ss with , or else it’s you who’ll regret it."
"Heh, haven’t you heard, in Shanghai, who doesn’t know my na, Big Fatty, who kills without blinking? You outsiders, whoever I catch is unlucky. Today, unfortunately, you’ve been targeted by , Big Fatty," he said, throwing his stick to the ground, pulling out a dagger from his waist, blowing on the blade that shimred with light, trying to scare them, "Get smart, hand over your stuff obediently, and I won’t harm your life. Otherwise, you see this knife; it’s seen plenty of blood."
Looking at Big Fatty’s theatrics, Han Yi suddenly relaxed his body, curling his lips into a smile.
"Sorry, I happen to be that person without sensibility, what now, you want to see blood?"
"Seeing blood is a small matter, losing a life, and by then, the money has to be mine too."
