Chapter 75

Guan Dongping said with a serious expression, "Little brother, are you sure you're serious?"

Ye Bufan replied, "Of course, now it's up to Brother Guan."

"No pain, no gain. Even if it really works, I can't accept your 20% shares, after all, the properties have already been sold," Guan Dongping said. "How about this, consider it as me working for you. If things work out, you give me a salary of 1 million a year. If they don't, consider it as me helping you out."

Ye Bufan, who still admired Guan Dongping's character, said, "Let's go with that. I'll give you a salary of 10 million a year."

Guan Dongping didn't drag his feet and said straightforwardly, "The salary is fine. I'll gather the workers when I get back. Just wait for your call."

After saying that, he left the Paradise Club, and Ye Bufan walked towards the raw stone exhibition.

The raw stone exhibition was held on a vast open square at the Paradise Club, spanning several thousand square meters. The exhibition had already started, and the venue was piled with various raw stones, with a staff member in front of each pile.

According to legend, these raw stones were all transported from the old mines in Myanmar by the Luo family, and each one could potentially yield priceless jade.

People were flowing around the raw stones, with jewelers from all over China and those interested in raw stone gambling examining the stones closely, discussing and evaluating them.

Some people, unable to contain their excitement, bought a stone on the spot and began to cut it open.

In the raw stone gambling industry, there's a saying: one cut can make you poor, one cut can make you rich, one cut can shock the world, and one cut can leave you stranded.

As the stones were cut open one by one, some people were overjoyed to tears, some stomped their feet in frustration, some laughed heartily, and some sighed deeply.

This is the charm of raw stone gambling. To this day, there is no way to see through the outer layer of the raw stones, and no one knows whether they contain worthless material or imperial green jade.

Ye Bufan walked through the crowd, and he found that these raw stones, which were said to be impenetrable, had no resistance to his divine senses.

As he walked, he could see through every stone, knowing whether it contained jade, and if so, whether it was red or green, large or small, all clearly and transparently.

This made him extremely excited. To him, the raw stone exhibition was like an ATM, and raw stone gambling had no difficulty at all.

If he wanted to, he could sweep all the stones with double the value here.

However, he didn't want to be too obvious. If people knew he could see through the raw stones, it would cause a lot of trouble in the future.

So he wanted to find Qin

Chuchu, and follow the Qin Group to purchase the stones, then secretly cut them open when he got back.

As he walked forward, he came to an area where some stones were cordoned off with ropes, and a sign read, "Reserved raw stones of the Luo Group, not for sale."

Although raw jade stones cannot be seen through, experienced raw stone appraisers can still discern some clues from the stone's surface, estimating the probability of jade based on the stone's color, the presence of flaws, and cracks.

The Luo family, as the organizer of this raw stone exhibition, had stockpiled some better-looking raw stones in advance for their own jade shops or to give away.

Since these raw stones were not for sale, the few staff members guarding them were relatively relaxed, chatting together.

As Ye Bufan walked by, he suddenly stopped, his eyes glowing as he looked at a large stone under a staff member's buttocks.

This stone was about half a meter tall, entirely black, and smooth, so the staff member had used it as a seat.

From the outside, this stone didn't seem special, but in Ye Bufan's eyes, it was an absolute treasure.

Suppressing his excitement, he approached the staff member and asked, "Excuse me, how can I buy the stones here?"

The staff member was relatively polite and said, "Sorry, these stones are reserved by the Luo family and are not for sale."

Since he had his eye on this stone, Ye Bufan was not willing to give up and asked again, "Brother, can you tell me how I can select a stone here? I think the quality here is quite good."

The staff member replied, "The only way to get a stone from here is if our young master agrees. If he's in a good mood, he might give you a few stones without any problem."

Ye Bufan frowned. He knew very well that Luo Wentao hated him and would never give him a raw stone.

But this stone was too important to him, and he had to get it no matter what.

At that moment, a crowd surged forward, and Luo Wentao, accompanied by Qin Chuchu, walked over.

Although the Qin Group had sent their own raw stone appraiser, Luo Wentao volunteered to help Qin Chuchu select stones.

Qin Chuchu, though she disliked this person, still recognized his expertise in raw stone appraisal.

The Luo family had been dealing with raw stones for many years, and Luo Wentao's teacher was Chen Bannian, one of the top ten raw stone appraisers in Myanmar.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Over the years, he had indeed learned some skills, and his expertise in raw stone appraisal far exceeded that of ordinary appraisers.

Because of this, she didn't refuse and noted down the numbers of the stones Luo Wentao recommended, planning to discuss them with her group's appraiser later.

The group stopped not far from Ye Bufan, and Luo Wentao pointed to a massive stone about two meters tall and weighing over a thousand pounds, saying, "Chuchu, do you see this stone? It's the top stone of this exhibition.

Although it's priced at 30 million, if you bid on it, it will definitely be worth more than its price. I have high hopes for it, and my teacher also praised it highly, which is why it's designated as the top stone of this exhibition."

Qin Chuchu looked at the stone. Generally, raw stones come in two forms: full gamble and half gamble. Full gamble means there are no windows, and it's entirely up to your luck.

Half gamble stones have windows of varying sizes cut into them, allowing you to estimate the probability of jade inside, which gives you a better chance.

This was a half gamble stone, with a basketball-sized window on the left side, revealing a tempting green hue.

Qin Chuchu, who also understood raw stone gambling, was quite moved by the stone.

From the window, the jade's quality was at least glass-like.

Such a large stone, if even a tenth of it contained glass-like jade, its value would exceed 100 million Chinese yuan, immediately alleviating the shortage of raw materials for the Qin Group's jewelry.

Luo Wentao, seeing Qin Chuchu's thoughts, said again, "Chuchu, trust me. Bidding on this stone will definitely be a safe bet.

To be honest, I reserved this stone for you. Otherwise, it would have been kept by the Luo family long ago."

He was speaking the truth. This stone was highly regarded by many, including his teacher, Chen Bannian.

Because of this, he had specially reserved it as the top stone to please Qin Chuchu when the Qin Group came to purchase raw stones.

Hearing the organizer's high praise, many people gathered around the top stone, discussing and evaluating it.

"Not bad, it's indeed a good stone. Raw stones with such python patterns will definitely yield jade..."

"Isn't that obvious? They've already cut a window, so there's definitely jade inside. The question now is how much and what quality..."

"I trust Young Master Luo's judgment. It's a pity I don't have the money. If I did, buying it would definitely be a safe bet..."
