108: A billionaire with both fame and fortune

"It rose?"

Lilac asked anxiously.

All eyes focused on him.

"This..."

The stone-cutting master didn't answer.

He wiped away a bead of sweat.

Following Chen Yang's instructions,

He rubbed each of the four corners of the large stone.

A miraculous scene appeared!

Such a large stone,

Every side reflected a verdant green.

Moreover,

Judging by its translucency and quality,

It was definitely a glass-type, top-grade jadeite.

Everyone was astonished!

Kameda Shoji couldn't believe it.

He directly leaned on the stone and stared intently for a while.

A moment later,

He stood up, his expression stiff, his spirit lost.

He muttered to himself,

"Imperial Green! Imperial Green..."

Lilac was stunned!

She also leaned in for a look.

"Wow! It really is Imperial Green!"

"Chen Yang, you've struck it rich!"

Everyone on site rushed to get a closer look!

Many people had never seen Imperial Green before,

Let alone such a large piece!

Tang Tianze was also greatly surprised.

"I've seen countless top-grade jadeites, but such a large piece of Imperial Green is truly a first for me!"

Some wealthy jade merchants started bidding.

"Oh my! I'll offer 300 million; this piece of Imperial Green is mine!"

"Nonsense! I'll offer 500 million; no one better try to snatch it from me!"

"Highest bidder wins! I'll offer 600 million!"

...Listening to these people's bids,

Chen Yang's heart was burning.

Such sounds,

Were even more exciting than certain other sounds!

Each increase was hundreds of millions!

He wished this sound would never stop!

"I love listening to it!"

Unfortunately,

When the bidding reached 700 million, the excitement had passed.

The enthusiasm began to wane.

At this price point,

How much more could be earned after processing the raw stone was truly hard to say.

Lilac also wanted to make a move.

The Ding Family's jade stores were distributed domestically and internationally,

Requiring a large supply of goods.

Especially this kind of top-tier merchandise,

It was not only popular but also elevated the brand's prestige.

It was highly sought after everywhere.

Unfortunately,

Her money was needed for tomorrow's bidding.

It couldn't be easily used.

"880 million!"

Tang Tianze suddenly spoke, shouting the highest price of the entire venue.

No one dared to bid again.

Chen Yang asked curiously,

"Brother Tang, do you also do jade business?"

Tang Tianze smiled.

"The Tang Family's business ventures are quite broad; it's not a major part, but we dabble in everything."

"Alright then."

Chen Yang was very straightforward, agreeing on the spot.

"Brother Tang, it's a deal!"

"However, since we're old friends, consider the 80 million my treat for tea."

"800 million exactly! Let's get rich together!"

Tang Tianze was very surprised!

He had already held Chen Yang in high regard,

But he didn't expect Chen Yang to give him such a big surprise!

80 million!

With a single sentence, it was wiped off!

What kind of generosity was this?

If Chen Yang were a top-tier nobleman, born into extreme wealth and prosperity,

Who viewed money lightly,

It wouldn't be surprising for him to do all this.

However,

Chen Yang was just a small bodyguard, from an ordinary family background.

For such a person,

Tang Tianze would never believe it if someone said he wouldn't achieve great success in the future!

At least, from this moment on,

In his heart, Chen Yang's image was very tall.

He was completely worth befriending!

He could be a good friend in life, and also a partner in business.

Tang Tianze was wealthy.

He could mobilize 800 million in liquid funds at a moment's notice.

In less than half an hour,

The funds were transferred.

"You are... the Little Jade God?"

Finally, a middle-aged rich man recognized Chen Yang's identity.

He had also just arrived at this large courtyard from the stone-cutting shop.

"Little Jade God? He has such an awesome title?"

Someone next to him asked curiously.

The middle-aged rich man immediately vividly recounted what had happened with Chen Yang at the stone-cutting shop.

The people on site were in an uproar!

They hadn't expected such a formidable person!

Now, his selection of a super Imperial Green further proved his capability.

"Little Jade God!"

"Little Jade God!"

...Everyone on site was emotional.

They had witnessed firsthand,

A person who instantly earned 800 million.

If someone said he was the reincarnation of the God of Wealth,

Everyone present would believe it.

The pursuit of wealth was a common obsession for all people!

Chen Yang was beaming.

Tang Tianze was satisfied.

Lilac was all smiles.

Liu Sisi, Su Youlan, Xiao Yue, Tingting, and others were still in shock.

They still couldn't believe it.

Overnight,

Chen Yang had earned 800 million!!!

And also gained an awesome title.

Little Jade God?

Noble and graceful, handsome and elegant?

Awesome-glorious!

Kameda Shoji's eyes were fixed on Chen Yang.

If looks could kill,

Chen Yang would have been killed 100 times over.

Chen Yang's title was gained by stepping on his head.

From today onwards,

The Divine Eye Master, inferior to the Little Jade God,

Would become an amusing anecdote in the jade world!

But for him, Tian Shoji, it was a lifelong humiliation!

Ding Qiufeng was distraught.

He hated himself so much!

Even more, he hated his leg!

He punched it hard several times.

He wished... he could chop it off!

"Why? Why did I kick it?"

"If I hadn't kicked it, Chen Yang wouldn't have chosen it!"

He also hated his own loose tongue.

If he hadn't suggested that Chen Yang choose it,

How could Chen Yang have had such a huge gain?

Now he had lost 100 million.

Money was a small matter.

But where would Young Master Ding put his face?

From now on,

In the jianghu, whenever "Little Jade God" was mentioned, Young Master Ding would be thought of.

He had become a background character.

A negative example.

A laughing stock for others to mock!

In this battle,

Ding Qiufeng lost 100 million.

He left dejectedly with Kameda Shoji.

Chen Yang earned 800 million from gambling on stones and received 100 million from the bet.

He netted a total of 900 million.

Calculating it,

Chen Yang's total assets had already surpassed the one billion mark,

Reaching 1.07 billion.

Moon Bay Grand Hotel, secured!

[Ding!]

[Obtained 10 points, current accumulated points: 270 points, keep up the good work!]

A super huge bargain was secured.

The intelligence awarded 10 points.

Chen Yang was very happy.

Earning money while earning points.

He was grasping both, and both had to be firm.

That evening,

Everyone was very excited.

Chen Yang still urged everyone to go back and rest early.

It was getting late, and there were important matters tomorrow.

Liu Sisi and Su Youlan had a performance in the morning.

Lilac had an open bid auction tomorrow morning and the results of the sealed bid in the afternoon.

This!

Was the real major battle!

Waking up from a good night's sleep,

Chen Yang was refreshed and energetic.

"Check today's intelligence!"

[Ding!]

[Today's intelligence refreshed!]

[Intelligence 1]: Ding Qiufeng has abundant funds; he is determined to win the top three in the open bid.

[Intelligence 2]: Fang Haotian's family has been exposed and is preparing to flee abroad.

[Intelligence 3]: Su Youlan's contract has expired, she doesn't want to renew, and she is very troubled.

Chen Yang quickly reviewed the information and reacted swiftly.

At breakfast, he reminded Lilac,

That in today's open bid,

The best performing raw stones, numbers one to three, had already been reserved by Ding Qiufeng.

He was wealthy and sparing no expense.

She shouldn't confront him head-on; she could use a flanking tactic.

Spend little money, earn big money.

The final competition result,

Was to see who—

Could earn more money with the least cost and least risk.

Lilac nodded in agreement.

Then she asked curiously,

"What flanking tactic are you planning to use?"

Chen Yang smiled mysteriously.

"The Buddha says, it cannot be spoken!"

"Anyway, you'll know in a moment."
