Chapter 67: Cut

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiang Zhiyuan, the jade merchant who first approached Luo Yang, kindly reminded him:

“Mr. Lin, if the raw materials are all cut into pieces, then we can only make bracelets. There’s no way to make anything else.”

“I suggest that we just cut a portion of it so that we can roughly see the water inside.”

“This way, there are more possibilities for the remaining parts, whether it’s making bracelets or sculpting ornaments.”

“With this flexible treatment, the profit margin can also be greater.”

His words were not entirely out of selfishness, and he was indeed considering for Lin Bai’s best interests.

However, Lin Bai refused with a smile.

“It doesn’t matter. I believe that as long as the material is good enough, we can still make a lot of money even if we can only make bracelets.”

“And I’m really tired of hearing about the possibility of flaws. I might as well cut all of them open. It would be great if there are no cracks or flaws at a glance.”

Xiang Zhiyuan wanted to say more, but the workers had already started cutting.

Soon, the first piece of jade was cut down.

The color of the board was lustrous, smooth, and transparent. There were almost no flaws.

The only flaw was the color of this jade. It was only close to Emperor Green, not really at the level of Emperor Green.

But even so, this board was already very valuable.

But when the second board was cut out, all the jade merchants present couldn’t help but sigh.

“Such a big crack, what a pity.”

“The previous piece could be used to make at least say twenty to thirty bracelets, but this one has such a big crack, and there are so many small cracks on the side. It looks like a spider web. At most, we can make only about ten bracelets.”

“And with so many cracks, it can’t even be made into carving pieces. At most, it can only be made into little beads. What a waste of a jade piece with such a good color!”

“What a pity, what a pity!”

While the jade merchants were sighing, they were secretly rejoicing in their hearts.

Fortunately, Lin Bai did not accept their offer. Otherwise, they would have suffered a great loss if they had bought such materials at such a high price.

Luo Yang felt a chill in his heart when he heard the words of the jade merchants.

Just a few minutes ago, he was ecstatic that he had made so much money and was thinking about how he should think about himself.

However, in just a few minutes, he had fallen from heaven to Hell.

Such ups and downs, such joy and sorrow, it was really hard for him to accept.

He stared at the cracked piece in front of him and kept muttering to himself, “How could this be, how could this be...”

“The last piece was so good, how could this one be like this?”

At this moment, Luo Yang only felt that the heavens were playing a joke on him.

A joke filled with malice.

He even hoped that this was a dream. The next second, he would wake up in his dormitory bed. He and Lin Bai had not set off yet, and everything had not started.

However, he prayed in his heart countless times and pinched himself countless times, but he still could not wake up from this “nightmare”.

Many jade merchants had already left with disappointment.

With the second piece of jade cut like this, the rest would probably not be any better.

They had already completely given up on this raw material and were even too lazy to continue looking at it.

At the very least, a few jade merchants who were unwilling to give up were still hesitating whether they should leave or not.

After all, the color of this material was indeed very good.

This color that was close to Emperor Green was already very rare.

The most important thing was that the owner of this material, Lin Bai, was a complete amateur.

He was different from the experienced jade merchants who were used to seeing all sorts of rich and poor people. They probably wouldn’t be able to accept such an outcome.

If Lin Bai’s mentality collapsed and he sold this material as trash, selling it as long as he paid, then they would be considered to have picked up a bargain.

After all, with the color of this material, it could be sold at a relatively good price even if it could only be made into beads.

Of course, the premise was to buy it at a very, very low price. Otherwise, the profit margin would not be big enough, and it would not be attractive to them.

Everyone was observing Lin Bai’s expression, trying to find signs of a mental breakdown.

However, to their disappointment, apart from the initial surprise when Lin Bai saw the “Spider Web” on the board, he remained very calm.

However, Luo Yang, who was beside Lin Bai, had lost all color on his face. Even his body was swaying slightly as if he could faint at any time.

Lin Bai was worried that Luo Yang would not be able to withstand the blow and faint, so he reached out to hold his arm.

As he held him, Lin Bai realized that Luo Yang’s arm was cold.

It was not hard to imagine how desperate he was at the moment.

“Do you regret following my decision to buy?”

Lin Bai asked him in a low voice.

He had put all his assets on the line, but this was the result.

If it were anyone else, they would inevitably feel regret.

They might even complain.

Lin Bai really wanted to know what Luo Yang was thinking.

When Luo Yang heard Lin Bai’s voice, he turned to look at him in a daze. After a few seconds, he slowly realized what Lin Bai meant.

Then, he slowly shook his head.

“That’s all your money,” Lin Bai said.

“It’s okay. You can still earn more.”

Luo Yang’s voice was so hoarse that it was frightening.

Even if he might lose everything, he did not complain at all.

Although his heart ached, he would never complain or even attack Lin Bai just because of that.

Lin Bai patted his shoulder and said, “I’ll take the loss.”

“No.”

Luo Yang’s face was pale as he said in a hoarse voice, “We’ve already agreed before. If we lose, we’ll earn.”

“Our friendship is our friendship. I can’t take advantage of you.”

Even in such a painful and desperate situation, he still insisted on his own principles.

Lin Bai nodded heavily. “Okay.”

At the same time, Lin Bai also decided in his heart that he wanted to be good brothers with Luo Yang for the rest of his life.

At this moment, the factory director ran over and asked, “Mr. Lin, do you still want to continue cutting the remaining ones?”

The implication was that he felt that there was actually no need to continue cutting and wanted to persuade Lin Bai to give up.

Lin Bai said without thinking, “Continue, cut all of them.”

The factory director knew that Lin Bai would not give up.

He had seen many people like this who would not give up and would continue cutting after one cut.

Therefore, although the factory director sympathized with Lin Bai in his heart, he did not continue to dissuade him.

He only reminded him, “We charge according to the number of pieces cut. If we make one more cut, we will have to pay for an extra cut.”

Lin Bai replied calmly, “Got it. Keep cutting.”

He had already bought 300 million yuan worth of material. How could he not pay for it to be cut?

Although Lin Bai did not know why the actual situation was different from the news, he?was still willing to take a gamble and to bet that the Future News app did not lie to him.
