However, just as Yang Guang thought that he could get the stone, a man’s voice rose from behind. “25,000 dollars!”
This voice sounded familiar. Turning around, Yang Guang saw Mr. Wan!
Then, his heart sank!
It seemed that Mr. Wan was going to compete with him.
While Yang Guang was surprised, Mr. Wan squatted down and looked at the raw stone. “Mr. Yang, you really have a keen eye. This stone is of good quality. There’s a high chance that emerald is inside!”
“Is that so? Are you sure?”Yang Guang asked.
Mr. Wan chuckled. “Actually, I am not that sure. But I know that the stone you choose must have something good inside!”
“Alright!”
Yang Guang immediately understood that Mr. Wan had his eyes on him!
Mr. Wan did not know why Yang Guang was so lucky last night. The two stones Yang Guang took both had an emerald inside. Yang Guang must have some particular tricks.
Yang Guang nodded. “It seems that no matter how much I pay, you will always pay a higher price.”
“That’s right!”
Mr. Wan nodded his head. Then, he said, “I will definitely get the stone you want to buy today!”
“Sure, I have no objections!”
Yang Guang sneered. He stood up and said, “Then I’ll give it to you. I don’t want it anymore!”
Hearing his words, Mr. Wan was dumbfounded. He thought that Yang Guang would increase the price, but unexpectedly, Yang Guang gave it up.
Seeing Yang Guang get out of the crowd, Mr. Wan ignored the old man who was selling the raw stone. He stood up and chased after Yang Guang!
In the end, the most unlucky one was this old man.
The old man originally thought that he could sell his stone for 16,000 dollars or more, but it turned out to be a bargaining chip for their fight. Of course, he was very unhappy!
Especially when he saw the shop owner’s mischievous look, the old man became even angrier. He picked up the stone and said, “I’m not selling it!”
He carried the stone and left. The show was over, so the crowd dispersed.
But unexpectedly, Yang Guang, who left just now, turned around and came back. He said to the old man, “Sir, I’ll give you 32,000 dollars for this raw stone!”
Hearing what he said, the old man was dumbfounded. Mr. Wan, who was following behind Yang Guang, said at this time, “I’ll give you 40,000 dollars!”
“You’re really going to go against me?” Yang Guang asked.
“Anyway, I’ve said it. I’ll definitely snatch the stone you want to buy from you!” Mr. Wan said proudly.
The old man was depressed. Hearing this, he hated Mr. Wan even more. So, he said with a cold voice, “Well. you want to buy it, but I have no intention to sell it to you!”
“Huh?”
Mr. Wan was stunned, and his eyes widened. “Sir, my bid is much higher. Sell it to me. You can earn more money. Did you lose your mind?”
“You are such a troublemaker! If it weren’t for you, I would have sold my stone long ago!”
The old man glared at him. Then, he turned to Yang Guang and said, “Young man, you don’t need to give me 32,000 dollars. I’ve kept this stone at home for 20 years. I was not willing to sell it. I can see that you’re very sincere. I only need 16,000 dollars, so I’ll sell it to you at this price!”
Yang Guang immediately laughed when he heard that!
This was great. Mr. Wan wanted to make trouble with him, but the old man did not give him a chance!
However, at the same time, Yang Guang also felt that 16,000 dollars could not match the real value of the stone. Hence, he thought for a moment and said to the old man, “Sir, let’s do it this way. I’ll pay you 16,000 dollars first. After that, I’ll cut the stone. If the value of the stone exceeds the price a lot, I’ll give you extra money. If the stone turns out to be priceless, I won’t let you suffer a great loss. I’ll give you 130,000 dollars in my pocket!”
“Young man, you are really a kind-hearted person!”
The old man was very excited when he heard this. He had never seen any person buying raw stones like this.
However, the old man felt that his stone was nothing special. There could only be ordinary jade inside. It could be processed into a few sets of bracelets and small accessories such as rings. He would be satisfied if it could be sold for 16,000 dollars.
The old man did not have much confidence. He did not believe that there would be emerald inside his stone.
However, the key was Yang Guang’s attitude. All the people in the market were looking forward to buying precious stones. Their goal was to buy the most valuable stones with a little money.
There had never been anyone like Yang Guang who would pay extra money to the seller if the stone turned out to be priceless.
Therefore, the old man immediately nodded and agreed.
Mr. Wan watched from the side with his eyes wide open. He swallowed his saliva and said, “Sir, you are really stubborn. You choose 16,000 dollars over 40,000 dollars. Why?”
“If this young man doesn’t buy it, are you still willing to spend 40,000 dollars on my stone? I don’t want to be the victim of your fight!”
The old man widened his eyes and directly handed the raw stone to Yang Guang. “Young man, I’ll give it to you!”
“Thank you!”
Yang Guang smiled. He took out a bundle of cash and handed it to the old man. “This is 16,000 dollars. Please count it.”
“There’s no need to count it. The bank’s seal is still on it. I trust you!”
The old man took the money and was about to leave.
Yang Guang quickly stopped him, “Sir, don’t leave. The stone hasn’t been cut yet!”
“There’s no need for that. If there is a priceless emerald in it, that’s your luck. I’m not greedy for more money!” the old man said.
“Don’t leave in such a hurry. Let’s go and see. Cutting stone won’t take much time. Besides, don’t you need money? It’s better to have more than nothing!”
Yang Guang felt that the old man was quite cute. He wanted to give him more money, so he held his hand and refused to let him go.
The old man couldn’t move. In the end, he could only nod. “Alright then. I’d like to see what is inside my stone.”
The old man and Yang Guang left and went straight to the stone-cutting machine. The surrounding onlookers saw it and all followed them one after another.
“This brat gets priceless stone again?”
Mr. Wan had a bad feeling in his heart. He muttered and followed the crowd.
A group of people rushed to the stone-cutting machine. The stonecutter was shocked by this scene.
Usually, there was nothing to do in the morning. Only in the afternoon would he be busy.
But when the stonecutter saw Yang Guang in the crowd with a stone that was bigger than a basketball in his hand, he immediately understood!
Yang Guang was also the one who got the top-grade emerald last night, which left a deep impression on him!
Seeing Yang Guang again, the stonecutter immediately smiled and said, “Mr. Yang, you’re here again!”
“Yeah, I have nothing to do, so I came to take a look!”
Yang Guang smiled and then put the stone in his hand on the table. “Please help me cut the stone!”
“Mr. Yang, it’s free to cut the stone during the Stone Gambling Game at night, but there’s a charge for the stone-cutting during the day!” the stonecutter said.

“It’s alright. I’ll pay!”
Yang Guang smiled and reached out his hand to touch the stone. “How about this. Just help me remove the 0.8-inch-thick skin on the surface. How much does it cost?”
“0.8 inches?”
The stonecutter was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled bitterly. “It’ll cost around 900 dollars.”
“Alright, I’ll give you 1,000 dollars. Thank you for your hard work!” Yang Guang said..
