Chapter 35: Such a Good Boy
"Master, hurry up!" Wang Haoran urged the Master stone cutter.
"Okay... okay." Master stone cutter nodded, his hands trembling slightly.
Although he was an experienced master, it was his first time cutting such expensive rough stones, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
But soon Master stone cutter adjusted his state.
A few minutes later, one facet of the rough stone was revealed.
There was no hint of jade color on the surface.
This was not a good sign; this rough stone might be worthless.
The onlookers sighed with pity as they glanced at Wang Haoran.
Wouldn't it be better to earn 2.9 million yuan? Why bother risking it all and even losing 100,000 yuan?
"Haoran, even if it's worthless, Auntie Tang won't let you lose money. I'll cover your 100,000 yuan loss," Tang Bingyun consoled him with the generosity of an elder.
"Is it worthless? That's great! If I lose, Auntie Tang won't lose. " Wang Haoran showed no signs of distress on his face; in fact, he seemed rather pleased.
He was about to make a big profit. How could he not be happy?
Tang Bingyun had no idea what Wang Haoran was thinking; hearing his words, she took them at face value.
Because Wang Haoran's smile seemed sincere, definitely not fake.
Tang Bingyun felt a warmth in her usually indifferent heart.
Today was the first time she had met this boy, and he was so kind to her.
It was really unexpected that Zhen Li had such a sincere and excellent son.
[Ding! One of the female leads, Tang Bingyun, gains +10 affection towards the host. Current total affection: 20. (Very friendly)]
[Ding! Host influences the original plot direction, gaining 200 villain points.]
"Haoran, Zhen Li said you're studying at Shuize Middle School. I am the director of the Shuize Education Group. If anyone bullies you at school, tell me, I'll make them pay," Tang Bingyun said solemnly to Wang Haoran.
"Thank you, Miss Tang." Wang Haoran smiled brightly.
"It's Auntie Tang." Tang Bingyun corrected him.
"Yes, thank you, Auntie Tang." Wang Haoran nodded with a smile.
But he felt really embarrassed in his heart.
Tang Bingyun was only four or five years older than him, yet he called her auntie and she wasn't embarrassed?
But there was nothing he could do about it. She was older, and he couldn't afford to offend her for the time being.
Master stone cutter adjusted his position and began cutting the rough stone again.
A few minutes later, the atmosphere at the scene exploded like a boiling pot.
"This... this is Imperial Crystal Green Jade!"
Master stone cutter exclaimed.
He had been in this line of work for over forty years, and in his previous career, he had only encountered Imperial Crystal Green Jade once, never expecting to encounter it again today.
Master stone cutter started steadily, and soon the entire rough stone was revealed.
Judging by the size of the jade stone, this piece was at least twice as large as anything he had cut before.
"This piece of Imperial Crystal Green Jade should be worth over 60 million!" Tang Bingyun said, feeling a hint of regret in her heart.
She had bought this rough stone for 3 million yuan.
If Wang Haoran hadn't cut it, she would have made a big profit.
But after this thought occurred to Tang Bingyun, she immediately chastised herself.
She had just seen with her own eyes that when Wang Haoran knew this rough stone might be worthless, he didn't blame anyone. Instead, he felt he helped her cope with the loss.
Now that he cut good jade, she should be happy for him.
After a brief struggle in her mind, Tang Bingyun congratulated Wang Haoran.
The people around them were both envious and jealous.
The young master of the Wang family not only had a good start, but his luck in gambling was also incredibly good!
In just a short while, he made over 60 million!
"I've made money again?!" Wang Haoran jumped up excitedly and then continued, "It seems my luck is too good. I want to play more, I want to play more!"
"As they say, those who gamble for a long time are bound to lose. A person's luck is limited. You've won twice in a row now; if you keep going, you might lose a lot." Tang Bingyun advised.
"If that's the case, then that's great. It's like reducing losses for Auntie Tang." Wang Haoran said eagerly, then hurriedly went to choose more rough stones.
This time, he didn't choose just one; he picked over thirty rough stones in one go.
"You've chosen too many. The total price of these rough stones is over 30 million yuan. You might lose a lot." Tang Bingyun said.
"I don't mind losing. I'm willing to make up for Auntie Tang's losses." Wang Haoran said nonchalantly.
'Come on, why not open all the stones that can be profitable? Why leave them for someone else?'
'Am I stupid?'
There was only one master cutter in the shed, and it was taking too long to cut them all.
Tang Bingyun had her female assistant call in several master cutters from the factory.
Eight master cutters started their machines simultaneously, cutting the rough stones Wang Haoran had chosen.
The entire shed was filled with the buzzing sound of machines.
A few minutes later, surprised voices rang out one after another.
Of the eight masters, seven had produced jade.
Wang Haoran made money again.
This luck was simply too outrageous.
The people around them were so surprised that they didn't know what to say.
In fact, the reason Wang Haoran could keep a low profile was that he had deliberately included a small portion of rough stones that were out of stock among the dozens of rough stones he had chosen.
Otherwise, Wang Haoran would almost certainly have a hundred percent success rate.
Master stone cutter continued to work, and after dozens of minutes, Wang Haoran's selected rough stones were all cut.
Everyone summed up Wang Haoran's "record."
Wang Haoran had chosen 39 rough stones, and 33 of them had made money.
After discussing the value of the jade stones with Tang Bingyun and some jade appraisers in the factory, the total value was 120.36 million yuan.
In just over an hour, he made 120.36 million yuan!
Tang Bingyun's friends were green with envy.
"Haoran, congratulations!" Tang Bingyun was also happy for Wang Haoran.
Although Wang Haoran had made a fortune, Tang Bingyun wouldn't lose out either.
These jade stones would be processed into various jade jewelry after being polished by the factory and then sold.
The price would multiply several times in the future.
In other words, 120.36 million yuan worth of jade stones would become several billion yuan in the future.
In particular, the large piece of Imperial Crystal Green Jade, a top-quality jade stone, was very popular among the wealthy.
There was no problem selling it.
Tang Bingyun would make a profit no matter what. It was just a matter of how much.
"Haoran, sell me these jade stones. Auntie Tang will give you a reasonable price."
These jade stones were cut in her factory, so they should belong to her in theory, but Tang Bingyun still wanted to respect Wang Haoran's opinion.
"You can have all these jade stones at a discount. You name the price." Wang Haoran said indifferently.
Tang Bingyun took a deep breath. She regretted not having a beautiful niece who was around 18 years old. Otherwise, she would definitely introduce her to Wang Haoran.
Such a good boy, there were probably not many like him in the world.
