Chapter Fifty-Two: Gao Luo Chen's Five Hundred and Fifty Million

  China has always had the saying that good things come in pairs and bad things don't happen alone. It's already not easy for good things to come in twos. If you can get both, blessings, prosperity, and longevity at the same time, it must be the happiest and most fortunate thing in the world. Li Xiaoteng has now gotten...

  Opening a window of black gauze, unexpectedly revealed the Fu Lu Shou. This made Master Zheng's eyes wide with wonder, as a piece of black gauze could produce a piece of jade that was not bad, and already belonged to the rare category. And to reveal the true meaning of Fu Lu Shou, it couldn't be described simply as good luck.

  Treating the rough stone in his hand with care, Master Zheng looked at Li Xiaoteng with envy and said: "Boss Li, do you know what the probability of opening a genuine Fu Lu Shou is?"

  Li Xiaoteng's face was filled with a happy expression as he chuckled foolishly and said, "It should be even harder than winning the 50 million yuan lottery!" Cui Xiaoyan gave Li Xiaoteng a glance and said, "When I was young, my dad told me that the probability of successfully making authentic Fu Lu Shou is like walking on a road and getting struck by lightning three times in a row..."

  "Hahaha... beautiful woman! What's the difference between authentic and inauthentic Fu Lu Shou?" Li Xiaoteng asked doubtfully.

  Cui Xiaoyan hadn't spoken yet, when a sweet and lovely voice came from behind Li Xiaoteng: "Authentic Fu Lu Shou consists of three colors: red, green, and yellow! Of course, there's also yellow, green, and purple..."

  Li Xiaoteng turned around, only to see a girl over 1.6 meters tall standing behind him, wearing a light-colored windbreaker and matching pants, with a pair of five-inch high-heeled red snake-skin boots. She was carrying a classic Louis Vuitton flower-patterned bag. Her makeup was very light, but it seemed to surpass that of many heavily made-up beauties...

  Her complexion was as white as goose eggs, and her hair cascaded down to her waist. Li Xiaoteng gasped in surprise, his eyes wide with wonder, momentarily stunned into stupidity.

  Cui Xiaoyan looked at Li Xiaoteng with a stupid expression, suddenly feeling a little angry. But looking at this 'girl', although not thin but absolutely can't be called fat. The 'breast' is not as full as her own. It's also considered to be the larger type among ordinary people! Cui Xiaoyan, who wanted to pretend to be a beautiful girl to find fault, nodded reluctantly, and Cui Xiaoyan had to admit in her heart that this girl was also a beauty.

  The little beauty saw Li Xiaoteng's somewhat dazed gaze and burst out laughing. She immediately said: "Little handsome guy! What's wrong? Dumbfounded? Hahaha..." The little beauty was used to receiving such gazes, so it wasn't surprising anymore.

  Li Xiaoteng quickly regained his composure, nodded and said: "Yes! It's a bit silly..." Before the 'girl' could continue speaking. He hastily added: "I don't quite understand, do Fu, Lu, and Shou have differences?"

  Xiao Mei smiled and said: "Fu Lu Shou is divided into three levels! Now many businessmen also count white as one of the three colors of Fu Lu Shou. This kind of Fu Lu Shou is the worst!" Li Xiaoteng hurriedly asked, "Is mine the best?" Xiao Mei shook her head and said: "The truly top-grade Fu Lu Shou is jade with purple lilac!"

  Li Xiaoteng was a bit dizzy and asked in confusion: "What is called 'Jadeite with Violet'?" Cui Xiaoyan gave Li Xiaoteng a white eye, leaned against the counter and muttered: "Uncultured... really scary!"

  "Xiao Teng, red is for Hong, green is for Cui! Of course, yellow 'color' is also called Huang Fei. But most of the time, Fei refers to red color! Xiao Teng boss! This is basic knowledge..."

  Li Xiaoteng shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to speak, Zheng Laoban stood at the counter inside, looking around the room, where a large group of people were chatting idly. Some couldn't help but ask: "Miss! Will our next window be open?" Although the question was directed at Cui Xiaoyan, his gaze was fixed on Li Xiaoteng.

  Before Li Xiaoteng could speak, the little beauty beside him suddenly said: "I'll give 500,000 for this black jade! Mr. Li, will you consider it?" Li Xiaoteng knew that if he gambled on the stone's value increasing, it would be very valuable. But in his heart, he really hadn't expected to open a small window of opportunity. This piece of jade, which no one had thought much of, and wasn't even worth 1,000 yuan, suddenly increased in value by 500 times!

  Li Xiaoteng felt his little heart was about to jump out of his mouth! But on the surface, he suppressed the 'excitement' in his heart. Calmly said: "I still want to continue cutting and see!" Xiao Mei didn't say a word, just nodded slightly beside him.

  Li Xiaoteng's idea is not hard to understand, but whoever grinds out a window and sees the three colors of Fu, Lu, and Shou will not be willing to take action immediately. This is the mentality of ordinary people...

  Li Xiaoteng looked at Cui Xiaoyan with some excitement and said, "Beautiful girl! Are you sure the next window is here?" Cui Xiaoyan didn't even glance at Li Xiaoteng, standing silently to one side. Li Xiaoteng awkwardly smiled and said to Boss Zheng, "It's just there!"

  The sound of "ding ding la la" rang out! Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at this magical stone! At this time, everyone had different thoughts. Who was the most depressed? Was it Manager Dong who directly rejected Mr. Song? Or was it Boss Zhao who was intercepted by Li Xiaoteng? Maybe the most regretful one was Mr. Song himself...

  The place marked by Cui Xiaoyan was soon ground open! What caught the eye was a faint greenish-blue color. The seed and water head were very good, the only regret is that the 'color' was somewhat too light. Compared to the first window, the 'color' was worse by at least 180,000 miles.

  Master Zheng didn't say a word, looking at Li Xiaoteng, as if seeking his opinion on what to do next.

  Li Xiaoteng looked at Cui Xiaoyan and asked, "Is this a gamble that's going up or down?" Cui Xiaoyan looked at Li Xiaoteng's expression and suppressed the urge to laugh, saying: "If the first cut is successful, it would be considered a huge increase in value. But since the first cut was too perfect, we had to give some discounts under the premise of a huge increase in value..." Li Xiaoteng hastily asked, "Then how should the next cut be made?"

  Cui Xiaoyan shrugged and said, "Whatever..." Li Xiaoteng suddenly looked foolish and asked in a hurry, "What do you mean by 'whatever'?" Cui Xiaoyan curled her lips and said, "It's better to sell it like this now. If we cut it open with the edges intact, what if there's a big white patch inside? The price will plummet! But if we open it up and show off the jade, look!" She pointed outside at the street and said, "You see? This street alone is worth enough!"

  Li Xiaoteng suddenly felt that his adrenal glands were secreting excessively, and he was dizzy and a little disoriented. Seeing everyone's gaze staring at him, Li Xiaoteng still couldn't make a decision.

  At this time, Xiaomei suddenly rushed to Li Xiaoteng and said: "Boss Li, I'll add 500,000 yuan! Give me this stone!" Xiaomei seemed to have suddenly remembered something, hurriedly took out a business card box from her pocket, took out a card, and handed it to Li Xiaoteng, saying: "I am the deputy general manager of the Northwest Securities Sponsorship Operations Department. My name is Gao Luochen!"

  Li Xiaoteng rolled his eyes and thought to himself: Why is it that after he was reborn, all the beautiful 'girls' he met were from securities companies? And this one was even from the headquarters!

  Suddenly found beside Cui Xiaoyan, secretly thought: this beautiful "girl" is a roasted string seller. Not a securities company! Couldn't help but hehe laugh...

  Gao Luo Chen silently stared at Li Xiao Teng, who was smiling foolishly, and felt a bit anxious. However, it wasn't good to rush him... Just as he was anxiously waiting, Cui Xiao Yan said from the side: "Li Xiao Teng! One million! Are you selling or not? Is it a deal?"

  Li Xiaoteng first took over Gao Luochen's business card, then pulled out a cigarette and lit it for himself. He hesitated for a moment before saying: "I want to open a window and take a look!" After a pause, he said: "Beautiful woman! You find me a place to open a window, whether it's a bull market or a bear market! I'll give you 20,000 red envelopes!"

  Cui Xiaoyan heard this and didn't show any expression on the surface. But what Cui Xiaoyan lacked most now was money! Suddenly, Cui Xiaoyan asked excitedly: "Really?!" Li Xiaoteng smiled and said seriously: "If you don't believe me, I can make a written guarantee for you!"

  Cui Xiaoyan didn't say a word, and hastily took the jade from Master Zheng's hand. She turned it over repeatedly, occasionally taking out a strong light flashlight to shine it in two windows, and finally drew another circle at a position half an inch to the left of Fu Lu Shou!

  The process of opening a window and cutting through stone was not visible, but soon another window appeared...

  It's not great! But it's not bad either... Another piece of emerald green the size of a fingernail has come out! Li Xiaoteng curled his lips, he could confirm that this stone would be a burst of good luck with the first cut. The rest of the stone is basically all emerald green!

  Li Xiaoteng lit another cigarette, took a drag and fell silent for a moment. He looked at Gao Luochen and said: "Beautiful lady! You've seen this stone too, it's only slightly larger than an adult's fist. But even if we just make a small pendant out of the Fu Lu Shou pattern on it, it would be more than enough! Just this one piece, you could sell it for tens or hundreds of thousands without any problem! If we open up the side and make a small ornament, I think it could also fetch a good price! And if it's full of jade... well, you know its value." After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment to see Gao Luochen's reaction. He wanted to continue exaggerating wildly, but his limited knowledge was running out. After thinking for half a day, he said: "A price of one million... I just can't accept it!" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his own voice trembling slightly.

  Cui Xiaoyan also helped to say, "Take this stone and sell it outside. If the boss on the other side of Pan's house knows that it sells for 40 million, those bosses will probably fight over this stone!"

  Li Xiaoteng hastily nodded beside him and said, "I don't want much either! 55 million! You want to give the money now, and Shi Tou will take it away immediately!" Gao Luochen nodded and asked, "Do you want cash or a transfer?"

  Li Xiaoteng was momentarily confused. "Huh?" he said. Gao Luochen repeated himself, "Do you want cash? ...or should I transfer it to your bank card?" Li Xiaoteng understood this time and hastily replied, "Just transfer it!" Gao Luochen smiled and said, "Boss Li, tell me your bank account number and I'll transfer the money right now!"

  Li Xiaoteng originally thought that Gao Luochen would engage in a century-long life-and-death negotiation with himself! Didn't expect such a quick agreement! Can't help but feel some secret regret! Don't know if it's because he quoted too low! However, since things have been said this far, naturally can't take anything back. Hurriedly took out his own savings bank card number and typed it into the phone, then handed it over to Gao Luochen.

  Gao Luochen took a look at the bank card number, picked up his phone and made a call. Not long after, Li Xiaoteng's old Nokia phone rang with a short message tone! Gao Luochen took a glance and handed the phone to Li Xiaoteng, saying: "The money has been transferred to you..."

  Li Xiaoteng looked at the blue screen, where the bank's prompt message read: "4:02, your bank card has deposited 5.5 million yuan. Thank you for your support!" Li Xiaoteng stared at that long string of zeros, feeling a bit stunned! He had counted them twice in a row, and either he had miscounted by one digit or was short by one digit.

  Gao Luo chuckled and said to Li Xiaoteng, who was still counting his losses: "I'm taking the stone!" He then took the cleaned-up gambling stone from Zheng's hand, put it in his bag, turned around, pushed through the crowd, and walked out the door...

  Mr. Zhao asked Manager Dong, "You said her Louis Vuitton bag is real?" Manager Dong nodded and said, "A woman who can spend over 5 million to sell a piece of rock probably wouldn't mind spending tens of thousands on a handbag..."

  Yesterday, my brother was too tired. Even the thank-you note for Book Friend Runner No. 3 had some flaws in it. This morning, I hurriedly revised a new one. If Brother Runner hasn't seen it yet, take a look!

  I saw a book review today: Every time I was about to get into it, I was abruptly interrupted, just like when you're about to do something and someone comes to interrupt you, it's really infuriating.

  The author had no choice but to apologize and say: Alright! Book friends! The moment of witnessing a miracle is about to arrive!
