Chapter 35
What a Good Boy
"Master, please hurry up!" Wang Haoran urged Master Stone Cutter.
"Alright, alright…" Master Stone Cutter nodded his head and his hands trembled slightly.
Although he was a famous master, this was the first time he had opened such an expensive stone, so it was unavoidable to be a little nervous.
But soon he settled down.
A few minutes later, one of the sides of the stone was revealed.
There was no colour of jade on the surface.
It was not a good sign, the stone could be a waste.
The people around the area were all looking at Wang Haoran with a little concern.
A profit of 2.9 million yuan is not good enough? Why did he have to spend the money he had made and then lose another 100,000 yuan?
"Haoran, even if it's a waste, Auntie Tang will make sure you don’t lose money, I'll help you pay the 100,000 yuan." Tang Bingyun, said comfortingly, with the generosity of an elder.
"It's a waste? That's great, if I lose money, Auntie Tang won't suffer any losses." Wang Haoran's face was not the slightest bit distressed, and he was even quite happy.
He was about to make a huge profit, so how could he not be happy?
Of course, Tang Bingyun didn't know what Wang Haoran was thinking, and when she heard Wang Haoran speak, she directly believed it.
The smile on Wang Haoran's face was not just an act, but actually genuine.
Tang Bingyun's indifferent heart rose up with a warm feeling.
Today was the first time that she and this boy had met, and yet he was so kind to her.
She didn't expect Sister Zhen Li would have such a sincere, honest and outstanding son.
[Ding! one of the heroines, Tang Bingyun, has a +10 favourable impression of the host, the current total favourable score is 20 points (Very friendly).]
[Ding, the host has influenced the original plot direction, receiving 200 villain points.]
"In the future, if someone bullies you in school, tell me and I will definitely help you out." Tang Bingyun said sincerely to Wang Haoran.
"Thank you, Miss Tang." Wang Haoran said with a bright smile.
"It's Auntie Tang." Tang Bingyun corrected him.
"Ah! Yes, yes. Thank you, Auntie Tang." Wang Haoran smiled and nodded his head.
But in his heart, he was quite embarrassed.
Tang Bingyun was only about four or five years older than him, but she wasn't ashamed to address herself as his auntie?
But there was nothing he could do about it. She was a senior and he couldn't offend her for the time being.
The master stone cutter repositioned the stone and started cutting it again.
A few minutes later, the atmosphere was as if a boiling pot had exploded.
"This… this is an Imperial Crystal Green Jade!"
Master Stone Cutter shouted.
He had been in the business for over 40 years but had only opened an Imperial Crystal Green Jade only once before in his career. He never expected to find it today once again.
The Master began to cut the stone very steadily, and in no time at all, he was able to reveal the full shape of the stone.
Judging from the size of the jade, this piece was at least two times larger than the one he had opened before.
"This Imperial Crystal Green should be over 60 million yuan!" Tang Bingyun said, and a slight regret rose in her heart.
She had bought the original stone for just 3 million yuan.
If Wang Haoran had not opened it, then she would have made a big profit.
However, after this thought had occurred to her, Tang Bingyun immediately blamed herself.
She had just seen for herself when Wang Haoran found out that the stone might be a waste, he didn't blame anyone and even felt that he was helping her to bear her losses.
Now that he had opened a good jade, she should be happy for him.
After a brief struggle with her thoughts, Tang Bingyun opened her mouth to congratulate Wang Haoran.
The others around him were envious and jealous.
The Wang family's son was lucky to have been born into a good family, and even his luck in gambling was so good!
In such a short span of time, he had made over 60 million yuan in profit!
"I have made another profit, haven't I?" Wang Haoran jumped up in excitement, and then said casually, "It looks like I'm lucky, I want to play again, I want to play again!"
"You've already made a profit twice in a row, if you keep playing, you might end up losing a lot of money." Tang Bingyun advised.
"If that is the case, then it would be great, it would mean fewer losses for Auntie Tang."
After Wang Haoran said that, he was impatient to go and choose the stones.
This time, he didn't pick them individually but directly chose more than thirty stones at once.
"You've picked too many, the total price of all these stones is almost 30 million yuan, and you might lose a lot of money." Tang Bingyun said.
"Then I'd be happy to lose to compensate for Auntie Tang."
‘Just kidding, why should I not open all the ones I could profit from and save them for Chu Bai?’
‘Am I stupid?’
There was only one stone cutter in the warehouse, so it was being done very slowly.
Tang Bingyun asked her assistant to call some of the other stone cutters from the factory to come over.
Eight stone cutters started the machines at the same time to cut the stones chosen by Wang Haoran.
The entire warehouse was filled with the sound of the machines.
A few minutes later, there was a series of sounds indicating surprise.
Of the eight masters, seven of them finished their work.
Wang Haoran had made a profit again.
‘His luck is truly unbelievable.’
The people around him were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
In fact, this was the reason why Wang Haoran was able to keep a low profile, adding a few empty stones to the dozens he had chosen.
Otherwise, Wang Haoran would have been able to maintain a 100% win rate.
After a while, all of his stones had been opened.
The group summed up Wang Haoran's "record."
Wang Haoran picked a total of 39 stones, 33 of which made a profit.
The value of the stones opened, after discussion between Tang Bingyun and some of the jade appraisers at the factory, was estimated at 123.6 million yuan in total.
In just a little over an hour, a total of 123 million yuan of profit was made!
The eyes of all of Tang Bingyun's acquaintances turned red.
"Haoran, congratulations!" Tang Bingyun also felt happy for Wang Haoran.
Although Wang Haoran had made a huge profit, Tang Bingyun would not lose out either.
After the initial polishing in the factory, the jades will be made into various kinds of jade jewellery and then sold.
The price will then increase exponentially.
In other words, a 123.6 million yuan piece of jade will become several hundred million yuan in the process.
This was especially true with the large piece of Imperial Crystal Green Jade, a superb piece of jade that is highly sought after by upper-class people.
There was no question of not being able to sell it.
Tang Bingyun was going to make a profit, it was just a question of how much.
"Auntie Tang, these raw stones were purchased by you, and they were selected very carefully." Wang Haoran said.
Hearing these words, the more Tang Bingyun looked at Wang Haoran, the better he looked.
The stones here had indeed been carefully selected, but some of the ones that Tang Bingyun considered to have a very high-profit rate had already been picked out by her.
However, some of the remaining stones still had a higher profit rate than those in the other gambling warehouses.
Tang Bingyun's acquaintances probably did not realise this problem and thought that Tang Bingyun was trying to make money off of them so that they could cover the losses.
Wang Haoran's words hit Tang Bingyun right in the heart.
How could she not be happy?
"Haoran, sell all these jade stones to me, Auntie Tang will definitely give you a reasonable price."
These jades were opened in her factory and naturally should be sold to her, but Tang Bingyun still wanted to respect Wang Haoran's opinion.
"All these jade stones will be sold to Auntie Tang at a discount. Just say the amount." Wang Haoran said nonchalantly.
Tang Bingyun took a deep breath, she really hated that she did not have a beautiful niece around his age, otherwise she definitely would have introduced her to Wang Haoran.
‘I'm afraid there are not many boys in the whole world who can compare to him, right?’
