Chapter 624: Domineering Aura!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone stopped what they were doing and crowded around Ling Yun the moment he said he wanted to buy the King of Stones!
That included the store owners manning their stores. They didn’t want to miss out on such a good show.
Tongues wagged. Some were shocked, some were agitated, some were full of scorn. More of them found this unbelievable!
The people on Ling Yun’s side were anxious for him. This kind of stone was the butt of jokes. It had been treated as a mere ornament. Could this be sold?
There was a chance that some of the stones in the three carts had jade in them. But the King of Stones? It was impossible! Everyone in the Antique Market knew that fact!
No matter how the people around them gossiped or how Song Zhengyang and Elder Murong tried to advise otherwise, Ling Yun stared straight at the Lord of Jade. His expression was as determined as ever.
Ling Yun wanted to give the Lord of Jade a fair chance. Ling Yun would pay the full amount that came out of the Lord of Jade’s mouth without any negotiation.
That was Ling Yun’s plan. He felt that the Lord of Jade was a man of good character. He might have been overboard just now, but he was a businessman. Businessmen had their own ways of conducting business. That didn’t mean he was bad.
There were also many spirit stones amongst the stones that Ling Yun picked. Every one of them was priceless to Ling Yun. He was sweeping all of them away in one visit. That was something that Ling Yun actually felt bad about.
The Lord of Jade and Han Laosan discussed for quite some time. In the end, the Lord of Jade was still the one to speak.
“Eighty million yuan!” The Lord of Jade smiled and held out his fingers, which denoted the number.
He really angered Song Zhengyang this time. He would have held the Lord of Jade by his neck if not for his status.
“Lord of Jade, aren’t you too cruel? This trashy King of Stones was sold for two hundred million yuan. You bought it back for thirty million yuan and wrote it off. You opened it up to the masses, allowing them to cut it for fifty thousand. Everyone felt you were chivalrous and played your game. Of course, there was no green at all. Now that the telltale veins of jade have been cut away, everyone knows that it’s impossible for it to contain any jade. It’s just a piece of junk stone weighing three tons. You’re selling that plus the three cartloads of rubbish for eighty million yuan?”
Song Zhengyang said no more. He walked towards Ling Yun and pulled him up to leave. He was really annoyed this time.
Murong Wenshi sighed as well. He felt that the Lord of Jade really went overboard this time. He shook his head and motioned to leave as well.
No matter how arrogant Ling Yun was today, they were both supporting him strongly. They didn’t understand why Ling Yun was behaving the way he was behaving, but they could do nothing about it.
This time, the surrounding crowd didn’t just side with one party. They could see that Ling Yun genuinely wanted the King of Stones. They really wanted Ling Yun to buy it and cut it to see if there was any jade inside!
They knew that only a novice like Ling Yun would pay this ridiculous amount for the thrill. Of course, that was only if Ling Yun could really afford the eighty million yuan.
However, the Lord of Jade’s price was simply ridiculous. Even if the three carts of stones were sold to Ling Yun at sixty million yuan, the King of Stones wasn’t worth twenty million yuan. It was close to two thousand yuan. Everyone knew that it wouldn’t have any jade in it.
Eighty million yuan wasn’t just an abstract figure, it was exorbitant. Ling Yun would get nothing back if he really paid for it!
It would be a miracle if he could make the eighty million yuan back...
“Lord of Jade, why don’t you sell it a little cheaper so that he will buy it. Let’s cut it publicly to see whether it really has jade in it or not...”
“Lord of Jade, this is ridiculous... We may not buy it, but your price is really too high. Who would pay eighty million yuan for this pile of rubbish?”
“This kid just wants to get a thrill, must you do it this way, Lord of Jade?”
Murong Feixue could take it no longer after hearing all the snide comments. She tried to pull Ling Yun along.
“Everything you have chosen is the king of rubbish. No one would pay even two million yuan for it. They are taking you for a fool!” Murong Feixue said in a low voice.
Who knew that Ling Yun would push Song Zhengyang away softly and move Murong Feixue’s hand away.
Ling Yun dug into his breast pocket and took a checkbook and a pen out through telekinesis. He wrote a check for eighty million immediately and gave it to the Lord of Jade.
“This is eighty million yuan. Please keep it. If you’re worried, you can get your finance staff to verify it, or you can get cash from the bank now...
“These three carts of stones and that King of Stones are mine now!”
Eighty million yuan, Ling Yun paid in full without any negotiation!
Too domineering! Too straightforward and too impressive!
Everyone went into shock once again! He really bought it!
The whole place was so silent now that everyone could hear a pin drop!
The Lord of Jade held the check in hand, trembling. This eighty million yuan was as good as a gift from the heavens!
The Lord of Jade’s yearly revenue was about one hundred million to two hundred million. Ling Yun’s check equated to a half a year’s revenue!
And it came from the load of trash that no one wanted!
The Lord of Jade knew instantly that the check had no problems. He looked at it emotionally before giving it to Han Laosan.
Han Laosan looked at the check and announced publicly that there was no problem with this check at all.
After a short period of silence, there came a wild cheer and resounding applause. Everyone went crazy!
The forgotten King of Stones of Yu Ding Xuan finally had a buyer!
This piece of news traveled through the whole of the Antique Market instantly, a new heat wave appeared!
Anyone who didn’t have any work on hand couldn’t suppress their excitement. They ran madly to Yu Ding Xuan to see the mad fella who purchased the King of Stones.
The burning question was — was there any jade in the King of Stones after all?
Yu Ding Xuan was flooded instantly as people squeezed in desperately!
They perched on the stones, on the walls, wherever there was a place to stand!
However, Ling Yun’s allies were all stunned. Song Zhengyang even felt a little slighted. Murong Wenshi kept sighing and shaking his head. Murong Feixue so very nearly left the scene!
Tang Meng hit his thigh so much that it was all swollen. Eighty million yuan for a pile of rubbish! He began to hit Tie Xiaohu’s thigh instead. That way, he wouldn’t be hurt.
“Tie Xiaohu, you f*cker, why didn’t you stop boss with me? Why!” Tears even started rolling down Tang Meng’s eyes.
Tie Xiaohu was slightly stunned, but he recovered quickly. “It’s Big Brother Yun’s money. He can spend it however he wants, as long as he’s happy...”
Tie Xiaohu chose to have faith in Ling Yun. He knew Ling Yun wouldn’t do something that put him at a loss or disadvantage.
Tang Meng hammered Tie Xiaohu’s chest. “It’s useless talking to a martial maniac like you. Sigh, I should have called Aunty and Lingyu instead. This is really...” Tang Meng said grudgingly.
Tang Meng knew that only Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu could reel him in. Everyone else was useless.
Long Wu was even calmer than Tie Xiaohu. She seemed to bask in the feeling of being surrounded by mountains of people. She held onto Ling Yun’s arms, beaming. “You’re so imposing!”
That traveled into Murong Feixue’s ears, nearly driving her crazy. Where did this crazy b*tch come from! What a pair of spendthrifts!
Eighty million, that could make up a whole year of earnings for the Tianxi Pavilion!
“Har...”
The Lord of Jade heaved out a long breath and asked with deep doubt in his face. “Little pal, can I ask why you didn’t negotiate the price at all?”
The commotion died down. Everyone was curious about the conversation between them.
“There’s no need. I’m here to choose the things I like. I feel they are worth this price, so I feel that your price is very fair.” Ling Yun smiled.
Ling Yun was even more afraid that the Lord of Jade would regret his decision. Eighty million yuan for so many treasures. He couldn’t be happier, why would he negotiate?
The people surrounding them were baffled. Ling Yun paid eighty million for such rubbished because he liked them?
The Lord of Jade didn’t buy it. “But, little pal, the price could have been negotiated, just like what President Song said. The price I gave you is really high. You’ve made a huge loss...”
“It’s a blessing to make a loss. It’s alright, it’s my honor to lose to the Lord of Jade...” Ling Yun grinned.
That sealed it, Ling Yun was an idiot.
“Actually, little pal, actually, I could have sold it all to you at forty million yuan. Y-you should have negotiated...”
Song Zhengyang’s face finally wasn’t so ugly. The new price by the Lord of Jade was still acceptable.
“I don’t like to negotiate...” Ling Yun laughed.
“Bring your men here and find a truck. Take all of them back home!” Ling Yun turned to Tie Xiaohu and instructed.
Tang Meng was still hugging himself and crying.
Ling Yun was about to slip away after obtaining such a huge advantage.
“Wait a minute...”
