Chapter 249 - 246: Su Qinghe’s Wish?

Chapter 249: Chapter 246: Su Qinghe’s Wish?

The moment the Jade Cutting Master finished speaking!

Everyone in the crowd craned their necks, desperate to get a look at the jade!

"Holy shit!!"

"Boss, it’s ice-type!!!"

The Jade Cutting Master exclaimed in shock after rinsing it with water.

This...

’This is... damn it, this is exactly what Gu Yifan said it would be!!’

Everyone present stared at Gu Yifan in utter shock.

’What the hell!’

’Who is this young guy?’

’Is he really that badass?!’

Everyone was secretly thinking the same thing.

"Hmm... continue,"

Gu Yifan said calmly.

At this, the people who had been about to shout out bids all held their tongues.

’If it’s really like Gu Yifan said, and this whole huge piece is ice-type jade... then twenty million won’t buy jack shit! You wouldn’t get it for less than one or two hundred million!!’

"O-Okay, Boss!!"

the Jade Cutting Master replied, his face flushed with excitement.

He was now in complete awe of Gu Yifan.

’To cut out a piece of ice-type jade this huge in my career... my life is complete!!’

The Jade Cutting Master’s hands moved with increasing speed.

Everyone stared, transfixed and tense, at the piece of jade.

As time went on, the entire piece of jade was finally revealed to the crowd!

A collective gasp went through the crowd as everyone drew in a sharp breath.

’Holy fuck!’

’The whole damn thing really is ice-type jade!’

’And in the very center is a two-fist-sized piece of flawless Imperial Green...’

’Holy shit!!’

’This piece of jade has to be worth three or four hundred million now!’

’This is insane!’

’Didn’t this raw stone cost just a few hundred thousand?’

’Goddamn!’

’He’s made a fucking fortune!’

’This is the true definition of a single cut to instant riches!!’

At this moment, Wang Zibo was completely dumbfounded by the scene before his eyes.

...

After snapping back to their senses, the entire crowd went wild.

The reason was simple.

They had just witnessed someone get rich with a single cut right before their very eyes!

An investment of five hundred thousand had turned into three or four hundred million in less than half an hour!

The sheer difference!

It truly was one cut to heaven, one cut to hell!

While Gu Yifan was revealing his massive find, cutting was underway at several other stations.

Aside from one person who made a small profit, everyone else had completely busted.

The contrast made the difference between them instantly apparent.

...

In an instant, everyone was swarming around Gu Yifan.

After all, this was the first huge score of the day!

Everyone wanted to see it for themselves and hopefully get some of that good luck to rub off on them.

Of course!

Most of them were just there for the spectacle.

The first to react was Chen Dong, the jewelry merchant from Yun Province. He looked at Gu Yifan and was the first to make an offer.

"Young man, are you looking to sell this jade?"

"If so, I’m willing to offer two hundred million for it!"

Chen Dong said, looking at Gu Yifan.

"GASP..."

The onlookers gasped when they heard the two-hundred-million figure.

’Two hundred million!’

’Not two million or even twenty million!’

’This is... just too insane, isn’t it?!!!’

"Hey!"

"Chen Mazi, you’re playing dirty!"

"You think you can get this Imperial Green for a mere two hundred million?"

"Dream on!"

"Young man, don’t listen to him. My name is Zhen Youcai, and I’m the biggest jade and jewelry dealer in Western Guangdong. Here’s my card. I’m willing to offer 250 million for your jade!"

a middle-aged man named Zhen Youcai declared as he stepped forward.

’Zhen Youcai... with a name like that, he’s got to be rich!’ Gu Yifan thought with some amusement as he took the business card and heard the offer.

"Bullshit!"

"Young man, they’re trying to cheat you!"

"I’m a local jade and jewelry dealer from right here in Mountain City. We’re practically neighbors! I’m willing to offer 300 million!"

Yet another person stepped forward to shout their bid.

Gu Yifan listened to their offers without any rush, a calm expression on his face.

Because...

what came next was an even more frenzied bidding war...

’With such a huge piece of jade, I’m definitely going to sell some of it. After all, it’s not like I can eat the damn thing. There’s no point in keeping so much of it on hand. It’s better to cash it out and do what I want!’

’However!’

’Of course, I have no intention of selling the two-fist-sized piece of Imperial Green in the center. I plan to use that part to make jewelry for Su Qinghe. I also have to set aside some of the ice-type jade to make jewelry for my family and for Wang Zibo and the others. As for myself, I don’t really care.’

Ultimately!

Gu Yifan sold off most of the ice-type jade for two hundred million.

He sold it to a jade merchant from Hong Kong Island.

Of course, he kept the most important part—the Imperial Green.

...

BEEP... BEEP...

Just then, Gu Yifan’s phone chimed with a text message notification.

He casually pulled his phone from his pocket and glanced at it.

It was a text from the bank.

He tapped it open and saw a notification: a deposit of two hundred million had been received.

"Heh."

"This jewelry merchant from Hong Kong Island is pretty efficient!"

Gu Yifan said with a slight smile.

’He had barely walked away before he had someone arrange the transfer to me!’

Beside him, Su Qinghe looked at Gu Yifan quizzically.

Gu Yifan turned and glanced at her.

"Hanhan, the money’s here!"

"Hmm... we can go on another spending spree!"

"I’ll take you out shopping tomorrow!"

Gu Yifan said with a smile.

"Uh..."

Su Qinghe froze for a moment.

Then she realized Gu Yifan was talking about the two hundred million from just now...

’T-Two... hundred million!!’

’She couldn’t even fathom that much money!’

’It was an amount she’d never even dared to dream of before!’

"I don’t want to buy anything..."

Su Qinghe said hesitantly, her voice soft.

"Hm?"

Gu Yifan paused, surprised.

"What’s wrong?"

he asked, his voice soft and gentle as he looked at Su Qinghe.

"I... I don’t think I need anything right now..."

"I don’t want to waste money..."

Su Qinghe said, mustering her courage.

"Uh..."

"Well, Hanhan, is there anything you want to do, then?"

"I’ll do it with you!"

Gu Yifan said after a moment’s thought.

"I... I..."

Su Qinghe’s lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but she seemed unable to get the words out.

"Go on, it’s okay. I won’t get mad,"

Gu Yifan said, looking at her.

Su Qinghe took a breath.

She glanced timidly at Gu Yifan.

Seemingly having made up her mind, she then looked back at him, her expression serious.

"I... I saw before that over in the Shiwan Dashan mountains, a lot of the children in the rural areas don’t have money to go to school..."

"I want to sponsor some of the children in the mountain regions so they can go to school..."

Su Qinghe said, looking at Gu Yifan. She stammered slightly, but her voice was full of earnest conviction.

"Huh??"

This time, it was Gu Yifan’s turn to be completely stunned.

’He never expected that this was what his silly Hanhan wanted to do!’

"I... I was just suggesting. If you don’t..."

Seeing Gu Yifan’s silence, Su Qinghe thought he was unhappy with her suggestion and quickly started to backtrack.
