96 Even More Profitable Than Oil Drilling! (1/2)
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!”
