...
Fortunately, these two knew they had serious business to attend to. This private grudge had been entangling them for a long time, but it wasn't going to explode at this moment. So, things gradually calmed down.
"Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth..."
With a look from Qin Fang, Xiao Nan stepped forward as the peacekeeper and said a few words to calm things down.
"All right, it's settled... You all must have seen this piece of material by now. It's egg-white jade with medium-to-high quality. It should yield two pairs of bracelets and about seven or eight small ornaments. The rough price is not only known to you all, but we also have some idea. Let's skip the lowball offers... So, let's start the bidding now!"
Qin Fang had just regained some strength, and he left the matter to Xiao Nan to handle. After all, it was just a matter of the jade merchants bidding, and whoever offered the highest price would get the piece. It didn't matter whether Qin Fang or Xiao Nan was in charge; as long as Qin Fang nodded in the end, there would be no problem.
The jade merchants also knew that Xiao Nan was with Qin Fang. Seeing Qin Fang didn't speak, they naturally took it as assent to Xiao Nan's actions and immediately began bidding.
"Young man, let's not beat around the bush. I'll offer one million and one hundred thousand! Sell this piece to me..."
Xiao Nan's words had just ended when someone already bid. The bidder was a middle-aged man in his forties who looked very successful by his appearance alone. It's estimated that he was not short of money, and his offer was directly ten thousand more than Boss Li's price.
"Old Fang, your business is already big enough. If you keep this up, the rest of us brothers won't be able to make a living. Let me have this piece... I offer one million and two hundred thousand. Think about it, young man!"
Just as this person made his bid, someone nearby became unhappy and, while squeezing in, also called out a higher price, adding another ten thousand.
"President Sun, you're not very kind either. Bidding so high leaves us with no soup to drink... I offer one million two hundred and fifty thousand!"
This bid did not hold for long before someone else made an offer. However, this time it was not in increments of ten thousand as before, which made Qin Fang a little surprised.
Looking carefully at the expressions of the other jade merchants, it seemed they all started to hesitate, indicating the price was becoming more realistic.
Without a word from Qin Fang, Xiao Nan remained very steady, not getting involved, and just letting those few jade merchants continue their bidding.
"One million two hundred eighty thousand!"
"One million three hundred thousand..."
"One million three hundred twenty thousand..."
The price was getting higher and higher, but the increments were indeed getting smaller. Moreover, several jade merchants soon announced their withdrawal, clearly indicating that the price had exceeded their psychological limit.
"I offer one million and four hundred thousand!"
While a few jade merchants were haggling over every little amount, the crowd was watching to see how high the final price would go. Suddenly, someone from outside the crowd called out a high bid.
Swish~~
Almost as this bid was heard, the somewhat crowded audience turned their heads back and spontaneously cleared a path, allowing the person who made the bid to come forward.
"This method isn't bad; it's easy to blend in this way!"
The newcomers were two young men, one dressed in a suit and looking quite handsome, while the other seemed a bit sleazy and was dressed casually. It was he who walked along the cleared path into the inner circle, muttering softly as he went.
Such words inevitably caused some dissatisfaction among those who made way, but no one really acted on it. At most, they grumbled under their breath to vent their frustration, and they did so quietly.
Qin Fang and the others naturally heard what the young man muttered and their faces darkened. Shen Yang seemed eager to go up and teach the guy a lesson, but he had just moved when Fang Dacheng held him back.
Shen Yang looked puzzled but saw that Fang Dacheng, usually the good-humored guy, was showing a very cautious expression. He didn't dare to move, understanding that in the dorm, Fang Dacheng was the strongest. If even he looked this way, it clearly meant the stranger was not simple.
Qin Fang naturally noticed Fang Dacheng's expression and was slightly surprised. He immediately used his scouting skill on the two young men opposite.
"Name unknown, LV1, male, neutral, details unknown."
"Name unknown, LV3, male, neutral, details unknown."
The former was for the suit-clad handsome guy, while the latter for the casually dressed young man. Seeing these results, Qin Fang understood why Fang Dacheng was so cautious; clearly, he was wary that the young man's strength was even stronger than his.
"Gentlemen... your offer?"
However, this wasn't the main focus. Qin Fang was more concerned about whether this piece of material could really be sold at that price.
"One million and four hundred thousand! Check or transfer, as you like, it can be done right now..."
Fortunately, the man in the suit was not just talking; he immediately confirmed his offer, which greatly relieved Qin Fang.
"If no one else offers a higher price, we will have to sell this piece to this gentleman..." Xiao Nan, who was naturally good at seizing opportunities, immediately turned to the other jade merchants to ask.
"Forget it, I give up..."
"I'm out too!"
The remaining jade merchants all expressed their withdrawal one after another. The price had basically reached their psychological limit. Seeing the young man's determined demeanor, they simply chose not to participate.
After the price was agreed upon, the transfer process was naturally not very complicated. Having experienced it once before, it didn't take Qin Fang long. His bank card, which had been zeroed out after he paid his school fees, saw an addition of thirty thousand, followed by another huge deposit of one million four hundred thousand.
Just like that, Qin Fang leaped from the poor class to becoming a millionaire worth millions.
Of course, in a big city like Ninghai, over a million yuan would only buy an apartment of one hundred square meters if it was far from the city center.
However, for Qin Fang, it was as if a pie had fallen from the sky.
"Young man, if you have more good material in the future, you can look for me. Even if I don't need it, I can introduce you to a few big clients!"
The young man pulled a gilded business card from his pocket and politely handed it over to Qin Fang.
"Hanhai Group, Assistant to the President, Lin Yuan!"
Qin Fang glanced at the name on the business card and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Lin Yuan, around 25 or 26 years of age, fresh out of college, was already the Assistant to the President of Hanhai Group. Either Lin Yuan's personal abilities were exceptionally strong, or he got the position through connections or nepotism.
As for which it was, Qin Fang wasn't too concerned.
"Thank you, Assistant Lin. I just got a bit lucky today, maybe because I didn't wash my hands after using the toilet this morning..."
Accompanied by a somewhat vulgar metaphor, Qin Fang laughed it off.
He had no intention of seeking out Lin Yuan; if stone gambling was always this accurate, it wouldn't be good news. Qin Fang reckoned even his personal safety might be threatened.
"Heh, hope to see you again next time!"
Lin Yuan wasn't very concerned either and simply shook hands with Qin Fang.
"Kid, if fate allows, let's get closer in the future!"
However, the young man who nobody knew by name, instead of paying attention to Qin Fang, went up to Fang Dacheng and said.
"Definitely!"
The simple and honest Fang Dacheng also shed his usual dullness, his face beaming with a bright smile and his eyes sparkling with brilliance. Qin Fang was surprised to find that he didn't know his honest brother as well as he thought.
After a simple handover, Lin Yuan and the young man immediately drove away with the piece, thankfully Bizarre Stone Archway was located right next to the pedestrian street; otherwise, Qin Fang didn't even want to imagine how all that raw material was transported here.
"Fourth Brother, congratulations! You're a millionaire now!"
Shen Yang and the others expressed their envy and congratulated him, their eyes not forgetting to lick their lips towards the jade material that had already been sold, lamenting in their hearts why they didn't have such luck!
Even someone as honest as Fang Dacheng couldn't help but take a second look, but it was clearly impractical for him to spend thousands to buy a stone that had a high chance of being worthless; he wouldn't take that gamble.
"Don't worry, my brothers, it's on me tonight, and there will be a red envelope for each of you!" Qin Fang naturally couldn't let his own people down and immediately expressed this gleefully.
"Fourth Brother is mighty!!"
The brothers in the dorm were all very happy to hear this, and even the slight envy in their hearts faded quite a bit, slightly enhancing their feelings towards each other.
"Second Brother, do you have the phone number for Ningcui Residence's reservation? Book a private room beforehand. We can't let it be like last time..."
With money, especially such a big sum, even the usually frugal Qin Fang became generous and said to Xiao Nan beside him.
What about himself?
Of course, he called Tang Feifei and Xiao Muxue. Such good news had to be shared with close friends, especially these two beauties who had a particularly good relationship with Qin Fang.
Qin Fang's circle of friends was really not that big. In high school, he focused on studying and part-time jobs, befriending only a few good ones, and his classmates were just friendly at best. Most of the good friends had gone to universities in other places, with none close by. (To be continued, for further details, please visit www.qidian.com.
