Chapter 38: Stop While You’re Ahead?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing such a high price, everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

An old man in a silver-white Tang suit was walking towards Luo Chen.

“It’s Old Master Xu!”

Someone could not help but exclaim when they recognized this old man.

The old man’s name was Xu Yuan. He was in his sixties, but his eyes were still extremely sharp!

He was one of the most famous collectors in Jiang City and even the entire North Region.

At the same time, the Xu Family was the only family in Jiang City that could compete with the Luo Family!

Xu Yuan and Luo Zhenhua had known each other for a long time and were both enemies and friends for many years. However, in recent years, they had reached a consensus not to offend each other and each managed their own matters peacefully.

“Hello, Master Xu!”

“Come, please!”

All the people in the jade business knew who Xu Yuan was so they all quickly made way.

Now that Xu Yuan made himself clear, no one dared to bid higher.

If one angered Old Master Xu, they could forget about receiving even half a piece of jade for the rest of their life!

Xu Yuan’s prestige in the collection world was that great.

After Xu Yuan walked over, he carefully sized up the Imperial Jade.

“Not bad. It’s indeed a rare treasure.”

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Yuan was about to negotiate with Luo Chen when he became stunned. “Young man, why do you look so familiar? Have we met before?”

Looking at Luo Chen, Xu Yuan was reminded of that old man who was always against him.

Luo Chen knew the Xu family emphasized on respect so he minded his attitude and said, “I’m Luo Zhenhua’s grandson, Luo Chen. I might have seen you at a banquet before.”

“Whoosh!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people were shocked again.

He did not expect this young man to be Luo Chen!

At this moment, Hu Cheng also understood why Luo Chen paid so readily. It turned out that he was from the Luo Family.

Hu Cheng was extremely honored when he thought of the two big shots patronizing his stall!

“No wonder! So it’s that old fellow’s grandson. You look exactly the same as the young him.”

Xu Yuan came to a realization.

Then, he changed the topic. “Why? Is the Luo Family also interested in jade? Did they send you to test the water?”

The Xu family was in charge of jade and antiques.

Now that he suddenly saw someone from the Luo Family, Xu Yuan could not help but speculate.

Luo Chen explained, “No, it’s my grandfather’s birthday in a few days and the jade on the market is too ordinary. Therefore, I wanted to choose some good jade to give to the old man.

As for the jade business, you don’t have to worry. Previously, my grandfather said not to touch it, so we will naturally stay out of it.”

Xu Yuan nodded. “You’re both loyal and filial. Not bad!”

He had also heard about Luo Chen’s investment in Amazon. Coupled with his filial piety and loyalty today, he was very satisfied with the young man in front of him.

Thinking of the grandsons of the Xu family who only knew how to fool around, Xu Yuan was furious.

How good would it be if Luo Chen was my grandson?

“Since you’re Old Luo’s grandson, I can’t let you suffer a loss. How about adding another 10 million and selling the jade to me for 70 million!”

Other than giving Luo Zhenhua face, it was also because Xu Yuan admired Luo Chen that he raised the price again.

The surrounding people who were buying jade were stunned when they heard this price!

Even if it was them, they would probably not be able to sell it for this price.

But that was only them.

Since Xu Yuan dared to offer this price, he naturally would not be worried about selling it.

As long as he placed the jade on the international market and hyped it up a little, with the quality of the jade, it could easily be sold for more than 70 million.

At this moment, Zhao Ruoshuang felt like she was dreaming.

70 million! After deducting the cost, they would earn a net profit of 68 million!

The company’s income last quarter was only at this level.

In comparison, they had bought the jade just an hour ago!

“F*ck! I really shouldn’t have come to this place!”

Ye Bei gritted his teeth and cursed softly!

He regretted bringing Luo Chen to such a place.

Luo Chen smiled and said, “You’re too polite. This jade shall still be sold at 60 million yuan. No matter how much I earn, as a junior, I should show my respect to Senior!”

Knowing that the two families did not have a good relationship, Luo Chen naturally would not give up the opportunity to befriend them for a mere 10 million.

If he could obtain the Xu family’s help in the future, he would be able to deal with the protagonists even more easily!

“Not bad, you’re generous enough! You’re definitely built for great things!”

Seeing Luo Chen’s performance, Xu Yuan was even more satisfied.

At the same time, he knew that Luo Chen wanted to ease the relationship between the two families and thus, it would not be good if he raised the price.

Therefore, after Xu Yuan asked for Luo Chen’s account number, he immediately asked someone to transfer 60 million yuan over.

“Kid, you can look for me to have some tea in the future. If you need anything, you have to look for me. I admire you very much!”

After transferring the money, Xu Yuan patted Luo Chen’s shoulder.

Luo Chen smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll definitely visit you when I have time!”

At this moment, Luo Chen’s capital had increased but he still had seven good luck charms in his hand. He should continue to buy!

He turned to look at Zhao Ruoshuang and said, “Ruoshuang, it’s all thanks to you that we got to earn money this time. To express our gratitude, do you have anything you want to buy?”

“Hehe! I have to thank you for trusting me so much!”

“There’s no need to buy me anything. Just treat me to a meal when you have time!”

Hearing Luo Chen say this, Zhao Ruoshuang was very happy.

Luo Chen’s trust made her feel as comfortable as a child.

After the money arrived, Ye Bei looked listless.

It was a total of 60 million yuan. He felt completely numb!

Ye Bei had never expected Luo Chen to be so lucky. Just a random piece of raw material could produce a piece of Imperial Jade.

“Ye Bei, it’s all thanks to you this time. If you hadn’t supported me back then, I might not have come.”

Seeing that Ye Bei was in a bad mood, Luo Chen decisively stabbed him again.

You want to trick me? Then I’ll anger you all to death!

“No… There’s no need to thank me, Boss. This is what I should do.”

After Ye Bei finished speaking, he revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

Endure!

One day, he would make Luo Chen pay a thousand times over!

Zhao Ruoshuang persuaded, “Luo Chen, we’ve already profited this time. Why don’t we leave it at that?”

She was worried that if she used up all her luck, there would not be any more valuable jade for them later.

Seeing this, Ye Bei hurriedly said, “Don’t, Boss! Our luck is good now. We should continue to earn money. After all, this amount isn’t enough for the Bitcoin investment.”

You want to leave after earning money? It’s not that easy!

I must make you lose money today!

At this moment, Xu Yuan said, “Luo Chen, raw stones gambling is a business that emphasizes quitting while you’re ahead. If you want to play, you can come again next time.”

Xu Yuan really admired Luo Chen. Otherwise, he would not have told him these things.

When Ye Bei saw this, he cursed in his heart.

Damn old man! How f*cking nosy!

After dealing with the Luo Family, I’ll dig up your ancestral grave first!

Under normal circumstances, Luo Chen would definitely not continue.

However, he still had seven good luck charms in his hand. He had yet to finish earning the money, so why was he in a hurry to leave?

“Thank you for your advice. I won’t go overboard. I’ll buy just one more piece before going home.”
