The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 52

"Boss, cut this piece for me!" Ma Yunteng said nonchalantly, pointing to the nearest piece of rough stone.

He had no intention of selling the green stone. He knew his luck best. As soon as he said this, everyone around him looked at him strangely, because anyone with eyes could see that the stubborn stone was actually a trick set up by the merchant to deceive novices. It had been there for almost a year and no one had bought it.

Whoever buys it will be ripped off.

"That stubborn rock has no chance of producing any green."

"Yes, once these kinds of things are sold, the merchants make a huge profit."

"At such a young age, he's already daydreaming about getting rich."

"I bet he'll be swindled out of all the money in his pocket in no time."

People around were whispering among themselves when the shopkeeper walked over.

"Young man, you have a good eye! This stubborn rock comes from Qing Teng Well Mine. I see you're sincere, so I'll sell it to you for 200,000!" The merchant could tell at a glance that Ma Yunteng was a novice, so he deliberately lowered the price by 100,000. His voice immediately drew scorn from those around him.

"Damn it, no merchant is without guile. This stubborn rock isn't even worth ten thousand yuan, yet it's selling for two hundred thousand."

"Yeah, it only fools newbies like him. Those of us with experience can tell at a glance that it's not worth buying."

"Keep your voice down, don't let them hear us. These people who run stone shops are no pushovers." They felt cheated when they bought something, so they enjoyed seeing others make the same mistake, which made them feel better.

"Ouch, you stepped on the old man's foot!" A groan suddenly rang out behind Ma Yunteng. He quickly turned around and saw an elderly man with a hunched back and a cane grabbing his sleeve.

Is this a staged accident scam?

"Is this some kind of ridiculous farce? You can run into a scammer while shopping?" Ma Yunteng muttered to himself, but before he could say anything, the old man gave him a wink and whispered in his ear, "Young man, take my advice, hurry up and leave, don't buy anything, they're just trying to rip you off!"

The old man's expression was serious, and his voice was low, but the merchant still heard him.

"You old codger, how dare you ruin my business? I think you're asking for trouble!" the shopkeeper shouted immediately. Soon, several tattooed fat men came out of the shop. These men all looked at the old man with hostility. The old man was immediately frightened and his expression became serious. He regretted meddling in other people's business.

"Tell your men to step back!" He didn't want to implicate the old man. He could tell the old man was genuinely advising him, not mocking him. Ma Yunteng turned to the merchant and said in a deep voice, "I'll take this stubborn rock. It's only 200,000 yuan, right? I'll buy it!"

"Okay! Great! Follow the rules, pay first!" A cunning look flashed across the merchant's face. As long as he paid, he could be sure to make 190,000.

Ma Yunteng took out his phone and quickly transferred 200,000 yuan to the other party.

"Young man, you can take it back and cut it yourself. My shop is too busy." The shopkeeper didn't want Ma Yunteng to cut it on the spot because he knew that this stubborn stone had no chance of yielding any green.

"Cut it now!" Ma Yunteng said disdainfully. Anyway, it's not worth much. So what if it doesn't turn green? It's just a mere 200,000 yuan. To him now, it's not even worth a few cents!

"Well... alright!" The merchant reluctantly gave the stone cutter a wink.

Holy crap! It's been cheated on!

"Supreme Green?"

"No way? This stubborn rock, judging from both its color and shape, has no chance of being green!"

"That kid really hit the jackpot!"

The people around immediately became excited; the value of the Supreme Green had increased thirtyfold in an instant!

"Impossible, impossible..." The wrinkles on the old man's face trembled.

Ma Yunteng was also quite surprised. After living for over twenty years, this was the first time his character had finally been normal...

Even the merchants themselves were shocked.

But this shock quickly turned into anger. This was the Supreme Green! They thought they had made a fortune, but they ended up losing money, and not just a little bit!

"Young man, our family not only sells stones, but also buys them back. Two million for this stone! Cash on delivery! Be quick about it, okay?" The merchant planned to make up for his earlier loss in this way, but his wishful thinking quickly drew a chorus of curses from the people around him.

"Heh, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. Two million to buy back? Do you really think we're novices? Since it's a Supreme Green piece, it should be worth at least five million, right?"

"This isn't a shrewd businessman, this is downright bandit."

"Get the hell out of my way!" A businessman with a thick, round gold chain around his neck suddenly walked up to Ma Yunteng and said eagerly, "Young man, three million, I'll take it!"

Four million!

"Four million five hundred thousand!"

"Four million six hundred thousand!"

"stop!"

Ma Yunteng waved his hand at the crowd, feeling as if his eardrums were about to burst. He glanced at everyone and calmly said, "I won't sell it. No matter how much money you offer, I won't sell it. I don't need the money!"

Ma Yunteng chose this stubborn rock simply to experience the feeling of cutting it. He wouldn't care even if it cost 20 million, let alone 5 million.

Upon hearing Ma Yunteng's words, the merchant couldn't help but frown. His eyes darted around, and he said seriously, "Young man, I advise you to sell it to me for four million. I can give you a stroke of good fortune!"

good fortune?

Ma Yunteng was slightly taken aback.

He's just a small business owner who sells stubborn stones. What kind of good fortune could he possibly receive?

The surrounding customers were also taken aback by the merchant's words and wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Four million, plus a job as a security guard at Calorie Internet Cafe!"

You've probably heard of that new internet cafe that recently opened in Jiangnan City, right? Being a security guard isn't much of a job, but you've gotten a chance to work under Mr. Feng Defeng!

The sound immediately drew envy from those around them.
