The city's number one tycoon - Chapter 51
"Wanshi Street! It's just in time for the biggest jade trade fair of the year. I heard that many jewelry companies have sent people there!"
Upon hearing this name, Ma Yunteng was momentarily stunned.
It is said that Wanshi is a very precious jade-like mineral. This mineral is mostly found deep in the sea and is very rare on land. It is extremely difficult to mine, which has led to the high price of Wanshi. Wanshi has a distinctive feature: before it is cut open, it is just an ordinary stone. Once it is cut open and exposed to air, it will quickly oxidize and reveal its unique qualities.
Many people turn pale at the mention of stubborn rocks because they are highly unpredictable and playing with them can be thrilling and exciting!
“Alright, I don’t know where Wanshi Street is. If you have time, please come with me!” Ma Yunteng knew that Mu Qianxue loved jadeite very much. If she could find a nice piece of Wanshi, she would be very happy.
Upon hearing this, Feng Defeng gave an awkward smile: "Young brother, you don't know this, but when it comes to playing with stubborn stones, the most taboo thing is for others to interrupt!"
The nature of a rock is highly random; before it's actually cut open, no one can guarantee the quality inside. On the contrary, some people with great luck are more likely to find exceptional quality rocks. I think you, young man, are blessed with good fortune; why not give it a try?
Forehead!
Ma Yunteng was instantly speechless. He had thought that bringing him along would give him some helpful advice, but it turned out it was all just luck! Luck! Just mentioning those two words gave Ma Yunteng a headache.
When has he ever been lucky?!
However, none of that matters anymore. Now that I have money, why would I worry about not being able to find a satisfactory rock?
"Alright!" Ma Yunteng smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back to Zhao Peng and said, "Here's what we'll do, Mr. Zhao, go to the finance department and withdraw 100 million yuan to transfer to Old Master Feng's account. Since Old Master Feng is going to look after the place for us, his salary must be paid first!"
"Yes, boss!"
Upon hearing the sound, Feng Defeng's goatee stood up straight again!
Is this person even human?
What's the difference between money and waste paper in your eyes?
...
...
On an open field in the western suburbs of Jiangnan City, Ma Yunteng was shocked by the scene before him as soon as he parked his car in a parking space.
The entire Wanshi Street stretched for two or three miles, bustling with people and incredibly lively!
"It really is the biggest jade trade fair this year! We've come at the perfect time!" Although Ma Yunteng came to pick out stones for his cousin, he was still a little excited. He would never have dared to come to a place like this before.
Who would dare to join this fun without assets worth millions or tens of millions?
Playing with stubborn rocks is actually a form of gambling, just like playing with J-shares!
As expected, as soon as Ma Yunteng entered Wanshi Street, he found that everyone there was dressed in suits and ties, clearly bosses. As for young people, there were almost none; only the rich second generation would be there.
"Haha! It's green! It's green!"
"Hey, I refuse to believe we can't get a green one! Boss, give me another rock worth 500,000!"
"Look, I've been cuckolded! Haha, I can take a shower again tonight!"
Throughout his journey, the word Ma Yunteng heard most often was "green".
That's right. When it comes to collecting stones, the simplest way to determine whether a stone is valuable is to see if it turns green after being cut open.
If a stone can turn green, you can basically make a small profit; if it doesn't turn green, you can basically declare bankruptcy.
Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, if you find a jade-red stone, you can make a huge profit, at least a hundred times the original price. But you might not see this even once, even if you cut a thousand stones.
"Supreme Green!"
"My God! He actually got the Supreme Green! That's amazing, it's increased thirtyfold!" Ma Yunteng walked to a relatively large stall, and as soon as he arrived, he heard excited screams from the people around him.
"How lucky! A grade 5 rough stone can yield a supreme green color, wow!"
"Yes, I'm envious!"
"You only saw that he made over ten million from the Supreme Green, but you don't know how much he's already invested! In just this short time, he's probably already made five million, right?"
"That's true. All the stones here are of grade three or higher. Let's go look somewhere else! This place is too expensive; we small business owners simply can't afford it!"
expensive?
Amidst the clamor of discussion, Ma Yunteng heard the word "expensive".
"How expensive could it be?" he muttered to himself, and without saying another word, he walked forward. His casual remark immediately attracted the attention of those around him.
When people saw that he was just an ordinary-looking young man, many people looked at him with disdain.
In recent years, there have been quite a few people who wanted to get rich without working and made a fortune by gambling on stubborn stones, but those people all ended up in a miserable state.
Those who make money want to make more, and those who lose money want to recoup their losses. The end result is a vicious cycle that leads to financial ruin.
"Young man, I think you're only twenty-one or twenty-two. Let me give you a piece of advice: take a look and leave. Don't be envious."
"Yeah, you're not like us. We're all bosses, we have money and we can do whatever we want. But if you play around like that, it's like playing with fire, you know?"
"Look at him, even if he loses, how much money can he possibly lose?"
“There are never any winners here.”
"Go back to where you came from."

Ma Yunteng acted as if he hadn't heard their advice and walked straight to the stall, while those who had tried to dissuade him gathered around with great interest.
