The item bought for 2.8 million had now become 4.5 million in the blink of an eye.
It felt like a dream to Ji Yunyue.
Initially, Ji Yunyue looked at the people around her as if they were idiots.
But as time passed, Ji Yunyue realized that these people were not idiots; they genuinely knew the value of these items.
As long as they quoted a price, there was a high probability that they would make a considerable profit later on.
Ling Feng, however, paid no attention to what the surrounding crowd was saying and directly instructed someone to cut the stone!
Screech, screech, screech…
Amidst the sounds of regret from the crowd, the stone was cut again.
"Oh my, look, such a large piece of red jadeite!"
"Wow, it's a variation again, from glutinous to ice jadeite, this piece is almost reaching glass quality!"
"The streaks are full of brilliance, if this piece is processed, it will definitely be a high-quality item!"
"Good stuff, this piece, I want this half that was just cut, I offer five million!"
"Damn, I offer six million!"
"Seven million!"
The prices kept soaring, and the people around them were going crazy!
Ji Yunyue and Ling Feng moved closer to each other, as the people around them were indeed too enthusiastic.
If Ji Yunyue hadn't heard their quoted prices, she would have thought these people were deliberately crowding her to take advantage of her.
A large piece that was initially priced at 4.5 million was now worth 8 million for just a small portion!
And the price seemed to be still climbing, nearing ten million!
Indeed, in less than three minutes, the price broke through to ten million.
At this point, there weren't that many people continuing to bid.
It seemed only two people were left in the bidding.
As the saying goes, thin and fat people are not from the same family.
These two were also like that, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, crowding around Ling Feng, their faces turning red with the bidding.
"I'll offer thirty thousand more, ten million and thirty thousand!"
"I offer ten million and fifty thousand!"
"Wait… let's not fight over it, first, may I ask, boss, are you selling this piece?!"
Finally, the fat man calmed down a bit and asked Ling Feng.
Ling Feng first called out to the attendant, took out one-third of the stone, and then had them continue to cut the other side. After this cut, only a small piece in the middle remained, with nearly two-thirds of the sides separated!
This scene confused quite a few people around.
Ling Feng naturally paid no attention to their gazes.
When the machine started humming, Ling Feng turned to look at the two men and said, "Yes, I'll sell it for twelve million. Whoever can accept it can take it."
As Ling Feng's quote fell.
The corners of the mouths of the fat man and the thin man twitched.
Then the thin man cursed and left, while the fat man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take it, boss, I'll transfer the money to you now, should we sign a contract?"
"As you wish," Ling Feng replied casually.
"Hehe, then let's sign the contract to be safe!"
After all, it was an item worth tens of millions, so the fat boss had a contract drawn up. After Ling Feng signed it, the transfer was successful!
"Hehe, happy cooperation, boss!" The fat man was overjoyed.
He wasn't taking this piece back for processing, but rather to auction it at a large jade gambling exhibition.
Bought for twelve million, with a reserve price of ten million, a simple auction could potentially bring back several million!
This was a sure-win business, but not everyone could do it.
It required a very high threshold.
For example, you needed twelve million!
What Ling Feng didn't tell him was that if this piece were cut open, an even more beautiful red jadeite would be revealed, potentially worth up to twenty million!
Of course, this was something Ling Feng couldn't possibly say.
Even if he did, no one would believe him!
Soon, the other half was also cut.
Ling Feng raised his hand and took away the piece with the best texture, essentially not letting anyone see its actual quality!
But the cross-section of the other half was revealed, immediately causing another frenzy at the scene.
This commotion even drew the shop owner to come over. Upon hearing that he had missed out on an extremely fine material, he felt a pang of regret.
Then came the frenzied bidding.
Ultimately, the stone was auctioned off for twenty-five million.
Ling Feng collected the money and left.
Ji Yunyue followed Ling Feng. Even after getting into the car, Ji Yunyue's head was still spinning.
Did Ling Feng go to buy something?
Was he sure he wasn't robbing a bank?
Initially, it only cost 2.8 million, and later an additional ten thousand yuan.
And the result?
In turn, the item was sold for nearly thirty million!
A net profit of over twenty million!
This was indeed faster than robbing a bank!
"The piece you retrieved had blood jadeite?"
Ji Yunyue managed to calm her emotions slightly before asking Ling Feng.
Ling Feng nodded casually: "Yes, there were too many eyes and ears there. If the blood jadeite were revealed, its value would be very high, possibly over a hundred million, or even several hundred million. It would cause a sensation then, so it's better to take it back and extract it myself."
Ji Yunyue gasped: "Just the medicinal ingredient I need is over a hundred million? Then what about the other materials?"
Ling Feng looked back at Ji Yunyue: "You only need a piece the size of a fingernail. This should yield a piece the size of a fist, so the actual cost is not much. Moreover, the remaining materials can be sold for tens of millions, making this a profitable deal!"
Ji Yunyue came back to her senses and found it both amusing and exasperating.
It seemed she had spent a lot of Ling Feng's money.
No, thinking about it again, it seemed because of her, Ling Feng had earned a lot of money…
So, was she losing or gaining?
It didn't matter, Ling Feng had profited anyway.
Upon returning home, Ling Feng saw Ling Yan and Ling Xiaoran had returned, with Yang Fei also following behind, carrying a pile of bags!
"Uncle!" Although Ling Xiaoran had a father now, she was still very affectionate towards Ling Feng!
She jumped down from Ling Yan's arms and pounced into Ling Feng's embrace!
"Was Xiaoran good when she went out to play with Daddy?" Ling Feng reached out and tickled the little girl's perky little nose.
Ling Xiaoran giggled: "I was good, Uncle Ling Feng didn't lie to Xiaoran, Daddy really came back, and Mommy will be back soon too!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng felt a warmth in his heart: "Yes, Mommy will be back soon too."
Saying that, he returned Ling Xiaoran to Ling Yan's arms: "I thought the little one would be running around outside with you all day."
"Heh, I don't know when she developed a habit of napping. She couldn't hold on past two o'clock and insisted I accompany her for a nap, so we're back. However, this child has been spoiled by you a bit, she bought quite a lot of things."
Ling Yan glanced back at the things Yang Fei was carrying with a hint of embarrassment.
Ling Feng, however, smiled and waved his hand: "As long as the child is happy."
Ji Yunyue by the side also said meaningfully: "No matter how fast Xiaoran spends money, she can't catch up to Ling Feng's earning speed!"
"Oh?" Ling Yan blinked in surprise, then couldn't help but laugh.
Ling Feng felt a little awkward…
There was nothing he could do. Today, unintentionally, Ji Yunyue had discovered another of his money-making skills!
