BXBX NOVEL Chapter 41 - 41 The Value of the Old Man Jade
The nearly 300 people around him were all focused on the ice-type jade.
“Speaking of which, how much is the value of this jade? I quite like it. If it doesn’t exceed 50 million, I’ll grit my teeth and buy it!”
“What’s the use of you liking it? 50 million might not even be enough to buy the peaches in this old man’s hands!”
“Is it that exaggerated? Is this thing worth so much money?”
“What do you think? There might only be one piece of such a jade in the world. Of course its value is high!”
Some people who did not know anything and wanted to buy it were splashed with cold water.
Zhao Ruoshuang was slightly surprised when she heard everyone’s conversation. She did not expect this jade to be so valuable.
Ye Bei clutched his heart. He felt like he couldn’t even breathe.
At this moment, those who knew the ropes began to discuss the true value of this jade.
“Ice-type jade are rare to begin with. Such a huge piece of jade is worth at least 100 million!”
“That’s still a low estimate. The last time I saw an ice-type jade with a worse quality than this at the Xiangjiang Auction, it was sold for 80 million!”
“I also know about that auction. That jade is definitely inferior to the jade in front of us. The price will probably be very different too.”
“In my opinion, this Old Man Jade is worth at least 200 million. After all, this kind of jade is already very rare. It’s as thin as ice and has no flaws on the inside. It’s really scarce.”
“Indeed, it should be in the region of 200 million!”
Hearing this person’s analysis, the other merchants agreed.
“200 million? Luo Chen, we’re really going to be rich this time!”
Zhao Ruoshuang could not help but tremble with excitement when she heard this number.
200 million was close to the company’s half a year’s income!
In less than half a day after they arrived at the antique center, they had already earned so much.
“200 million?”
Luo Chen stroked his chin. This was still far from the 70 times price he’d predicted.
At this moment, Ye Bei wished he could chop off his hand.
Of the hundreds of raw stones here, which one could he not choose? He actually chose the most valuable one!
Just as he was feeling regretful, the surrounding merchants continued to discuss.
“200 million? I can only say that you haven’t seen much of the world. This estimate is too low!”
“Indeed, it’s not like you haven’t seen the size of the jade at the Xiangjiang Auction before. It’s only as long as a forearm. This piece is nearly the height of a person!”
“To be honest, such a huge ice-type jade is probably worth about 300 million even without the natural pattern!”
“300 million? How can such a huge ice-type jade be worth 300 million? If you ask me, it’s worth at least 500 million!”
Speaking of 500 million, those who knew the industry did not find it exaggerated at all.
Because there might not be a second piece of jade like the one in front of them in the entire world.
At this moment, Xu Yuan suddenly said, “You’re looking at it too shallowly. Although the appearance and size of this jade is precious, this naturally carved Old Man Jade is the trump card!”
I’ve seen countless good jades in my life, and I’ve also seen naturally carved jades. However, be it in terms of size or appearance, it can’t be compared to this Old Man Jade in front of us at all!
“As for the price of this jade… I once sold a naturally carved jade in the shape of a turtle. The price had reached 200 million. You have to know that the jade I mentioned is only the size of a regular person’s arm. Its quality and shape are excellent. But the material of this Old Man Jade can be said to be top-grade! I estimate that it won’t be a problem to sell it for 700 million!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue instantly stirred!
700 million!
Even if they sold all their assets, they could not afford the jade in front of them.
“700 million. This price is right.”
Luo Chen nodded in satisfaction. He knew that there would be no problems with the System.
The owner of the raw stone stall, Hu Cheng, felt his mind buzzing.
His stall actually sold a piece of jade worth 700 million!
This was an opportunity to expand his reputation. He could not let it go.
At this thought, he dialed a number and spoke.
After hanging up the phone, Hu Cheng quickly walked up to Luo Chen and asked, “Young Master Luo, I just asked a friend. The shape and value of this jade has already broken the Guinness Book of World Records. If you don’t mind, please wait a moment. There will be two Guinness officials coming over today. I’ll get them to verify it!”
Luo Chen did not mind. “Sure, but hurry up.”
Seeing that Luo Chen had agreed, Hu Cheng was elated. “Don’t worry, the subject of jade is also considered as a very rare and special thing for the Guinness Book of World Records. It will be very fast to pass the verification. It won’t take more than an hour!”
“That’s good.”
Ye Bei’s expression was very ugly when he heard their conversation.
Not only did he not lose any money, he even earned more than 600 million yuan. How aggravating was this?
Moreover, he had even broken some Guinness record? What the f*ck is this?!
F*ck! This bastard’s luck was really good!
Just as Ye Bei was thinking about this, he suddenly felt an arm wrap around his shoulder.
“Good brother, you’ve made a contribution this time! I’ll give you a salary increase of 2,500 when we get back!”
If Luo Chen didn’t break Ye Bei’s mentality, he would feel that he was missing some fun.
...
“You’re welcome, Boss. This is all the will of the heavens.”
Although he was furious, he still had to act as if he was very happy for Luo Chen.
Luo Chen smiled and said, “The two ice-type jade from before can probably be sold for a lot of money. This Old Man Jade can be used as a birthday gift for Grandpa.”
Because of the appearance of the Old Man Jade, the price of the previous jade rose exponentially.
That size and reputation of the Old Man Jade could probably help him sell the other jade for about 200 million.
He had more or less enough money. He had to give his grandfather a grand gift.
When Xu Yuan heard this, he said regretfully, “Kid, you don’t intend to sell this Old Man Jade?”
Initially, he wanted to buy the Old Man Jade, but it seemed impossible now.
“Yes.” Luo Chen nodded and said, “But the previous ice jade can still be sold.”
“Kid, you’re so filial. You even held back from making a move with so much money.”
In his heart, he became even more satisfied with Luo Chen.
...
The surrounding onlookers echoed.
“Young Master Luo is young and promising. Not only does he have good taste, but he’s also extremely filial!”
“I’ve really opened my eyes today. Two pieces of top-grade jade in a row. Young Master Luo, I can’t help but admire your taste!”
“I’m tired of saying the word envy.”
Hearing everyone’s praise, Luo Chen waved his hand. “This is mainly thanks to my colleague and my bodyguard. After all, they were the ones who chose the jade today.”
“Young Master Luo is too polite. If you don’t have the guts to pay, it’s useless no matter what they choose!”
“Those who come from large families indeed know how to bring up the people around them. They shouldn’t be arrogant!”
“He didn’t forget to support the bodyguard beside him even after earning so much money. It also proves that Young Master Luo is a amiable person and never looks down on anyone!”
These people were half sincere and half bootlicking.
At the very least, a portion of them thought that if they had earned so much money, they would have long floated up in arrogance!
Ye Bei gritted his teeth in anger when he heard this.
Bring me up?! Sooner or later, I’ll destroy the Luo family!
