Awakening the Daily Intelligence System - Chapter 158
Chapter 158:118, making tens of millions! Lin Mo creates another legend!_5
Lin Mo:”…”
“Do you understand your uncle at all?”
However, such things can’t be explained; the more you try, the messier it gets.
Lin Mo simply chose to ignore the livewire and checked his phone for the latest information on the Chen Kainan case and related information on Chen Shanhe and the Lvkai Group.
There was also some information about Bai Feng.
These were tasks Lin Mo had to do every day.
Even though he had dealt with Chen Kainan, who would never be found at lluaguang Village’s 139 custom-built house, he knew it would be a different story if Chen Shanhe stubbornly refused to let go, insisting on tracing every single one of Chen Kainan’s movements. It could potentially unravel the fact that his own father had gone to the Lvkai Group to demand wages and had been arranged to die in a car accident by Chen Kainan.
Even though it was unlikely Chen Shanhe would pay attention to such trivialities, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Lin Mo felt it was necessary to keep an eye on these matters until the issues surrounding Chen Kainan were completely concealed, until Chen Shanhe gave up on his investigation.
Otherwise…
If something were indeed uncovered, he would be caught completely off guard!
As for why he needed to monitor information about Bai Feng,
it was because Bai Feng had disappeared the day after he had taken down Chen Kainan. Lin Mo suspected that this was almost certainly related to Chen Shanhe—after all, Bai Feng had been investigating Chen Kainan, fixating on him, so it would make sense for Chen Shanhe to suspect Bai Feng was involved in Chen Kainan’s disappearance.
The information about Bai Feng was connected to one of Lin Mo’s plans.
Unfortunately, so far, no information had been obtained about Bai Feng’s whereabouts.
Lin Mo frowned slightly, browsing through the information on his phone.
As for the beauty on stage, Lin Mo would occasionally take a few moments to appreciate her.
Food and sex are human nature, and Lin Mo was no saint.
But that was all it was—appreciation. He had none of the wrong kind of thoughts.
lie wouldn’t forget the immense psychological pressure his wife had chosen to endure by being with him at the start, and he clearly knew the hardships they had faced together over the past decade.
Betray his wife?
Unless he lost his mind one day, he would never do such a thing.
The auction continued, with the starting prices of items getting higher and higher, more expensive.
Some would go unsold, while others would be auctioned off at high prices.
Xiang Feiwen, too, was eyeing the auctioneer’s sexy figure, and especially the glimpses of skin revealed at the high slits of her cheongsam when she made small movements, which made him continually swallow his saliva.
He didn’t dare do anything in reality, but that did not prevent him from having already fantasized about the auctioneer a thousand times in his head.
In fact, there were quite a few people in the crowd who shared Xiang Feiwen’s thoughts.
After about an hour or so,
once the last collectible was auctioned off, no new items were brought up. Instead, a jadeite boulder with a diameter of about two meters appeared on the big screen.
It was evident that the jadeite boulder had been cut in half. Although green was visible at the cut surface, the color was not great, and there were some impurities, making the quality just average.
The appearance of this image made many people in the auction hall sit up straight.
During the previous hour of auctions, most of them had barely made a bid or participated in any auction.
Because they had come to the auction tonight specifically for this piece of jadeite boulder.
The same w’as true for Xiang Feiwen.
The auctioneer Xiaoya stood beside the screen with a professional smile, introducing, “Ladies and gentlemen, Xiaoya can see that everyone is very interested in this piece of jadeite boulder, and some are even eager to bid.”
“But, please allow me to take up a precious minute of your time to tell the tale of this jadeite boulder for those guests who are still unaware of its origins.”
Xiaoya continued with a smile.
It turned out that this jadeite boulder was invested in by the Zeng family, one of the four major families that specialized in jade and antiques.
The purchase price was quite high, costing over 14 million yuan.
The Zeng family had high hopes for this stone, but after cutting it twice, they found the jadeite quality inside to be poor.
Not only was making money out of the question, but whether or not they could get even 2 million yuan’s worth of material was a big problem.
A major family could afford such a loss; they didn’t possess that deep a gambling streak and just considered it a failed investment, so they directly threw the jadeite boulder into the auction, which could recover some financial loss and also create some buzz in the market to attract traffic.
For antique market bosses and some professional jadeite betters, such a jadeite boulder, with its low price and having been appraised by a professional appraiser from a major family, would not be a loss as long as the price wasn’t too high. They could earn a bit from it—just that it would take a lot more time to manage.
The major family didn’t care to earn this small sum, but for them, it represented a hefty profit.
“Although Xiaoya does not dare claim to be a jadeite gambling master, I do have some knowledge of jadeite boulders,” Xiaoya, the auctioneer, pointed to the cross-section of the cut jadeite boulder and said, “Just by cutting here, at the one-third mark, at least three pairs of bracelets and twenty-five eardrops could be carved, which should sell for around a hundred and ten thousand yuan without much trouble.”
“Of course, if another cut is made on this boulder and higher quality jadeite is revealed, then the price is hard to predict.”
“Now, I officially announce that the last treasure of the night, the jadeite boulder, is up for auction..”
