Chapter - 96 Even More Profitable Than Oil Drilling!

Chen walked over to the exhibit and pointed at a bag of jade fragments and asked, "Boss, are you selling these scraps?"

There would always be some leftover oddments after the raw jadeite (bowlder fiber) had been carved.

These scraps could not be processed anymore. But to throw it away would be such a waste – it was, after all, jade. So, to have someone offer to buy it was a great thing.

"There's twenty kilograms in this bag. I'll give it to you for two hundred," The Boss said hurriedly.

"Alright, I'll take it." Chen did not even waver. After he had paid the man, he told him, "I'll just leave them here with you. I will come and collect it before I leave later."

"That's no problem at all!" The boss, having received the money, smiled from ear to ear.

"Xiaobei, why did you buy these scraps? They are completely useless!" asked a perplexed Lan.

Wu was also confused, "Even if you have a lot of money, you shouldn't be blowing your money away like that!"

But Chen only gave them a cunning smile, "Hehe, this is my little secret. I cannot tell you!"

Other than himself, no one knew the existence of Flame of Transmogrification.

To most people, these scraps would be useless, but with the Flame of Transmogrification, it could be turned into treasure!

With the Flame of Transmogrification, this twenty-kilo bag of waste could be transformed into a hundred jade bracelets!

Even if the bangles were to be sold at only one thousand yuan each, that would still make a total of a hundred thousand of Yuan!

Two hundred becomes one hundred thousand!

Even more profitable than oil drilling!

Inside, Chen was elated, and said proudly, "On top this bag, I want to buy all the other scraps that are here today!"

"Are… Are you out of your mind?" Lan and Wu could not believe their ears. They could not figure what is Chen trying to do.

"Hahah… This mother*cker really is an idiot!" Wenfeng and his group of followers walked over. Wenfeng scoffed, "These scraps are obviously trash! And you want to buy all of them? Did you leave your brain at home? Hahaha…"

"Laugh again and I'll give you a good beating!" Chen's glared at Wenfeng, his expression colder than ice.

"Pfft…" Wenfeng immediately shut his mouth and nearly bit his tongue.

Bro Bei had never failed to deliver his threats, Wenfeng was scared to death.

"Garbage!"

Chen rolled his eyes at Wenfeng and was about to leave when…

"You! Stay where you are!" Wenfeng put on a brave face and said, "Fighting is not how we test our ability! Do you dare to play some real men's game?"

"If fighting is not the real way to test a real man, what is? You are obviously a coward! Don't give me lame excuses!"

Chen said impatiently, "I still need to go buy more scrap materials, I have no time to waste on you."

"You…" Wenfeng gritted his teeth and said, "If you play with me, I will buy all the scraps and gift them to you!"

"Heh, I don't think I can refuse this offer. Go ahead and buy. When you have bought everything, I will play with you." Chen grinned. How could he not take advantage of this. It would save him all the walking.

"You, go and buy them now! Then send them to…" Wenfeng blanked out for a moment.

Chen continued, "send it to the former Dafeng Jewelry Store. I will arrange for my people to pick them up."

Wenfeng's people immediately got to work.

"Alright, spit it out then. What do you want to me to play?" Chen asked nonchalantly.

"Gambling on stones!" Wenfeng said, "You and I each will buy raw stones worth thirty million. Once it is cut, we will compare who has the highest value! The loser will surrender all of his stones to the winner! AND he will receive ten slaps from the winner!"

'Gamble on stones?' Chen laughed, "Where did you get that courage to challenge me on stone gambling?"

Wenfeng pointed to Ruguan who was next to him, and said, "See this? This is Crown Jewelry Shop's boss! He built his fortune on stone gambling. Today, you must die!"

"Hehe… No wonder. You outsourced. Alright. I'll play your game." Chen laughed coolly."

"Xiaobei!" Lan quickly tuged Chen's sleeves, and said worriedly, "Do you even know how to gamble on stones? How could you agree to it?"

"I don't know how to gamble on stone. But my luck is good. Isn't gambling entirely based on luck?" Chen smirked, appearing completely confident.

Don't forget that he was the man with Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes!

Stone gambling was a guaranteed win for Chen.

"Stone gambling is different! You don't really need luck. Ruguan is a professional. If you want to beat him, you would need a miracle!" Lan said nervously.

"Lady Lan! The bugger had already agreed. He could not back out now! There was no use trying to talk him out of it!" Wenfeng quickly stopped any mind-changing ideas.

Ruguan piled on, "A real man kept his word. Chickening out after you've made a promise is an act of a pussy!"

"But…" Lan still had more to say.

But Chen Xiobei interrupted her, "Mengchen, don't worry. Today, I will show you what miracles look like," Then he turned to glare at Wenfeng, "Hey imbecile, so where are we doing this? Hurry up, don't waste my time."

"You… It's just in front! Follow me!" Wenfeng was seething. He said to himself, "Go ahead and get all cocky now, later when you lose, you'll see how I'm going to give you a good beating!"

Soon, the group arrived at the stone gambling booth.

On the table were rows of large and small stones covered in stalactites.

On the surface, these stones did not look any different from regular rocks. One would know if there were any jade inside after cutting it open.

That was stone gambling.

If the best type of jade was found inside, you would be a millionaire, overnight.

But if it was just an ordinary jade, then you could only cover the capital.

But if there was nothing inside, there would be a big hole in your pocket.

The saying, poverty or riches in a slice originated from this.

Both Wenfeng and Ruguan wasted no time and dived right in.

There were rules in stone gambling that dictated, if two people picked the same stone, the first person who picked it gets to buy it.

Chen Xiaobei, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. He activated his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes and started to check out every piece of raw stone.

He wanted to make his jade stone business big. He would not allow himself to sell low-end bracelets.

High-end jade wares require preparation. Only then could it improve the stores' grade.

He still had fifteen-million-yuan worth of funds, he needed to be really careful about how he used them.

"Oh?!" Chen spotted a stone as big as a watermelon.

Through his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes, Chen could see that the jade inside is bloody red! And it was the best blood red!

That was the best of red jade – it was equivalent to the emperor of green jades!

From its size, the blood jade's value, according to his estimation, would surely be above one billion. If he could find a good jade carving master, it could be carved into a premium product. Its value would be multiplied by many folds!

There's more!

Chen was also surprised to see that on this blood jade, there was a purple Qi surrounding the blood jade as well.
