Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Since Lin Bai was willing to pay, the factory director naturally had no reason to refuse, so he let the worker continue cutting the board.

Soon, the third piece was cut and there were obviously much lesser cracks on it.

The color of this piece was also greener than the previous two, almost reaching the level of Emperor Green.

The remaining jade merchants seemed to have seen hope again. They all stretched their necks and waited for the fourth piece to be cut.

Not long after, the fourth piece was cut.

This one was smooth and perfect. No cracks or flaws could be seen.

Moreover, its color had truly reached the level of the top-grade Emperor Green!

The jade merchants present couldn’t believe their eyes!

Although they had all been in the jade industry for many years, most of them had never seen a real Emperor Green, which was a rare species that could only be found by chance!

The plate in front of them was rich in color and had already reached the level of a top-grade Emperor Green. Moreover, it had no impurities!

No cracks or flaws could be seen on it. It was as clean as a piece of jade jelly.

The clear color made one want to take a bite out of it.

After a long time, the jade merchants recovered from their shock and realized that this flawless imperial jade was real.

With their years of experience in the business world, their bodies were one step ahead of their brains.

All the jade merchants tried their best to squeeze to Lin Bai’s side.

“Mr. Lin, I want this piece of material! Including the parts that haven’t been cut out, I want them all! Name your price!”

“Mr. Lin, sell the material to me! I can offer more!”

“Don’t say anything! Mr. Lin, I don’t dare to say anything else, but in the field of jade, our family is the true leader.”

“That’s why we have enough strength. No matter how much you offer, we can buy it. Please, sell this material to me!”

…

The group of jade merchants was all scrambling to bid, wanting to buy the material in Lin Bai’s hands because they all knew that even if the other parts of the material were all flawed. Just this perfect piece of material was enough to make a huge profit.

Moreover, this piece of material was so perfect, so the neighboring material should not be too bad.

Even if it was estimated according to the most conservative situation, the profit would be enough to drive them crazy.

Luo Yang looked at them in a daze as they bid. He could not believe his eyes and ears.

Just a few minutes ago, he had thought that the material he bought this time would be destroyed. Even if he lost money, he would not be able to sell it.

In the end, a few minutes later, he went from Hell to Heaven. Such a huge change was unbelievable.

Now, Luo Yang finally understood what the phrase “One knife for the poor, one knife for the rich, one knife for the linen, one knife for the villa” meant.

Ordinary people really couldn’t bear the excitement of such ups and downs.

Luo Yang estimated that he would never gamble again in this lifetime.

He felt that his little heart could not withstand this level of stimulation.

In stark contrast to his absent-mindedness was the calm and composed Lin Bai.

From the beginning to the end, regardless of whether it was cut well or not, the expression on Lin Bai’s face did not change.

His calm and composed mental quality made all the jade merchants present admire him greatly.

They knew that if they were in Lin Bai’s shoes, they wouldn’t be able to be as calm as Lin Bai.

Originally, they had looked down on Lin Bai because he was young and a layman who knew nothing about the industry.

But now, they didn’t dare to look down on him.

With this kind of mood, the price they offered went up.

“Mr. Lin, I offer 10 billion, please sell this material to me!”

“I offer 15 billion!”

“18 billion! Sell it to me!”

..

“30 billion!”

With this extremely domineering bid, the factory was instantly silent.

All the jade merchants present stopped fighting. They looked at each other, trying to find out who was the one who placed a bid with such a sky-high price.

Even though they were all very experienced big shots in the jade industry who had seen countless high-quality jade raw materials, the price of 30 billion still made them feel extremely shocked.

Lin Bai had been listening to their bids expressionlessly, but his emotions hadn’t fluctuated much.

It wasn’t until he finally heard the price mentioned in the Future News app that his eyes finally lit up.

Lin Bai knew that this was the highest price he could sell this jade raw material for.

“The scene just now was a little chaotic. I didn’t see clearly who actually made this price. Can you please step forward?”

Lin Bai asked the question that everyone present wanted to ask.

Xiang Zhiyuan smiled as he walked in front of Lin Bai and said, “I made the price just now.”

“Thirty billion. If Mr. Lin is willing to part with it, I can sign the contract to transfer the money now.”

All the jade merchants present were surprised when they heard Xiang Zhiyuan say that he could transfer the money immediately.

Jade was different from ordinary items. Its price was very expensive, and its sales cycle was relatively long. Therefore, the pressure of capital turnover was very high.

Therefore, even though all the jade merchants present were not poor, it wasn’t easy for them to fork out tens of billions at once.

Although some of them could fork out tens of billions, they would need at least a few months to raise the money.

There were also some people who felt that if they continued to raise the price, the profit margin would become very small and it wouldn’t be worth it, so they didn’t continue to bid.

This short few seconds of silence made Lin Bai understand in his heart that it was impossible for any more variables to occur.

No one would call a higher bid than Xiang Zhiyuan’s.

The accuracy of the information in the Future News app was once again verified.

Lin Bai smiled and said, “I’m very satisfied with the price Mr. Xiang has proposed. Let’s Find a place to draft the contract now.”

Xiang Zhiyuan was in a great mood when he heard Lin Bai agree.

In fact, he also knew that the price he had offered had already compressed the profit margin to a very small extent.

However, he no longer purely wanted to make a profit.

He hoped that he could use this opportunity to make a friend with Lin Bai.

Although Lin Bai was a layman in the field of jade, Xiang Zhiyuan could conclude that Lin Bai’s achievements would not be small no matter what industry he was in.

In addition, Lin Bai already had a huge potential for development in the future despite being at such a young age..
