by MarineTLChapter 50: Forty Million!
Before Shen Fei could speak, Jiang Tiancheng couldn’t hold back any longer and directly retorted,
“Mrs. Kong, no wonder you look so shady, with a mouth like that—how could you possibly get any better-looking? If we’re all lucky, why don’t you try your luck and let us mere mortals widen our horizons?”
Upon hearing this, Kong Fuwen shot a glaring look at Jiang Tiancheng and then, with a sly smile, said,
“Since you’re so eager, I’ll make sure you lose with your heart and mouth full! There are still three more stones! Let’s keep gambling. Are you up for it?”
Jiang Tiancheng rolled his eyes at Kong Fuwen.
“I, Jiang Tiancheng, fear neither heaven nor earth, and I’m supposed to be scared of you, a dog? Come at me! Whoever’s scared is a coward!”
Although Jiang Tiancheng understood that Kong Fuwen had far more experience in stone gambling, when it came to Kong Fuwen, Jiang Tiancheng had only one strategy: to confront him head-on!
Moreover, with Shen Fei, the god-like figure, around, how could he back down? That would be a shame!
“Got guts! Since we’re playing, let’s play big!”
Even though Kong Fuwen had just lost two million, he was still confident.
Jiang Tiancheng glanced at Shen Fei, saw him nodding, and then coldly snorted, signaling his agreement.
Soon, the 20th stone was placed on the table.
“Next, the 20th stone, which has a chance of yielding glass jade! Starting bid is 500,000!”
The host called out loudly.
As soon as he finished, a middle-aged man in a black suit raised his hand.
“600,000!”
He had been observing the stone for a while before it was brought to the table.
“1 million!”
Shen Fei stood still, only glanced at the stone, and immediately placed a bid.
This action left the onlookers stunned.
A chance of glass jade didn’t mean it was guaranteed!
And yet, Shen Fei raised the bid?
“1.1 million!”
The middle-aged man frowned and shot a displeased look at Shen Fei.
“1.5 million!” Shen Fei followed up.
The man was annoyed.
Was this guy looking for trouble?
“You’re bidding so high, are you sure there’s quality inside?”
Shen Fei smiled innocently.
“I don’t know! But I’m taking a gamble; maybe I’ll turn a bike into a motorcycle!”
“Hmph, 1.6 million!”
The man ignored Shen Fei’s words and continued to bid.
Shen Fei smiled faintly, raising the bid once more.
“2 million!”
“Phew…”
The man gritted his teeth, exhaling a long breath.
A stone worth 500,000 had suddenly been raised to 2 million because of Shen Fei!
This guy had gone mad!
He was spending so much money on an uncertain stone?
Even if the stone contained old glass jade, what if it was only a small portion?
That would be a huge loss!
Though the man was wealthy, he had earned every penny through hard work.
Seeing Shen Fei’s serious demeanor and sensing that the stone might not be worth further bidding, he hesitated and eventually gave up.
“Idiot!”
As the man clashed with Shen Fei, Kong Fuwen sneered.
Though the stone’s surface showed a small trace of glass jade, it wasn’t certain it would yield more.
If it did, he would run naked around the red tent ten times!
“Little Jiang, I bet this stone doesn’t have any glass jade!”
After Shen Fei purchased the stone for 2 million, Kong Fuwen coldly mocked.
“Well, I bet it does! How do you want to compare?”
Jiang Tiancheng raised an eyebrow, a smug smile on his face as he looked at Kong Fuwen.
“Okay… If the stone contains a product worth more than 2 million, I’ll lose and pay you 5 million! Otherwise, you’ll owe me!” Kong Fuwen quickly proposed the terms.
“Sure! What’s 5 million? You prepare the money!” Jiang Tiancheng said confidently.
Upon hearing this, the onlookers thought these two young masters were completely crazy!
This was purely a gamble based on luck!
And Kong Fuwen, who had been in the stone gambling industry for years, certainly knew more about this than Jiang Tiancheng.
No one knew where Jiang Tiancheng found the courage!
As the terms of the gamble were set, the host turned to Shen Fei.
“Cut it now?”
“Cut it!” Shen Fei replied without hesitation.
“Okay!”
The crowd, ignoring the tension between the two young masters, quickly focused on the cutting table.
The stone cutter carefully made the first incision.
With a single slice, the crowd erupted in excitement.
“There really is glass jade!”
“My God, I regret it! If I had bought it just now…”
“From the appearance, this is definitely top-grade glass jade!”
“If it’s really like that, this stone could multiply in value several times!”
The crowd gasped and exclaimed.
The discussions grew louder and louder.
Kong Fuwen was dumbfounded.
Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yantai were even more shocked.
First, a stone worth 2 million was opened, and now another top-grade glass jade!
Shen Fei’s sixth sense was just too strong!
“Sir, 8 million! Will you sell it?”
After the first slice, a gem dealer immediately placed a bid!
Shen Fei ignored him, calmly telling the stone cutter, “Another cut!”
Following Shen Fei’s finger, the cutter made another incision.
The stone cracked open again, revealing another top-quality glass jade.
The stone’s top and bottom were both of excellent quality glass jade.
“Sir, don’t cut anymore! I’ll buy it for 30 million!”
A jeweler immediately shouted, fearing that Shen Fei would ruin the stone’s value.
Shen Fei calmly looked at the jeweler and smiled.
“40 million, take it!”
At these words, the crowd gasped in shock.
Wasn’t this outrageous?
Seeing the jeweler hesitate, Shen Fei continued.
“This is a full-meat glass jade! After processing, it could easily make 24 million profit!”
Hearing this, the jeweler gritted his teeth and replied, “Fine, I’ll take it!”
A stone worth 200,000 was sold for 40 million!
This was like money falling from the sky!
The man who had hesitated earlier regretted it deeply.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yantai were stunned beyond words.
This wasn’t something that could be explained by mere sixth sense.
“Damn it, how is this gambling fool’s luck so good today!”
Even Kong Fuwen, who usually prided himself on being a scholar, could no longer hold back his emotions.
“Mrs. Kong, you owe me 7 million!” Jiang Tiancheng teased.
“What’s the rush? It’s not over yet, is it?” Kong Fuwen frowned.
“Fine, I’ll wait a little longer!”
When Shen Fei returned, Jiang Tiancheng stopped bantering with Kong Fuwen and turned his focus back to Shen Fei.
“Mr. Shen, you’re amazing!”
At this moment, Jiang Tiancheng was completely in awe of Shen Fei.
In less than ten minutes, Shen Fei had turned his funds into 20 times their original amount!
This man was nothing short of a god!
