I'm A Baller

Chapter 447: Oh My! A Dream Job

Wang Yan’s brain spun rapidly as his ideas formed little by little. However, he was not in a hurry to reveal his cards to Huang Jiajun.

The so-called “Methodical way of doing things” roughly meant that he knew what he could do, how he should do it, and to what extent he should do it.

Each had its own depth and weight, and each had its own subtlety.

Wang Yan’s first sentence was just a simple test.

“Young Master Huang, your favor is not for nothing. If I don’t give you something, I won’t feel at ease.”

Huang Jiajun looked very unhappy. He felt that Wang Yan did not treat him as a friend. “Hey! Car God, isn’t this meaningless? Aren’t you just saying it just for the sake of saying it?”

“A friend is a friend.”

The young master was very calm. “If it’s just a piece of material, then I’ll suffer. But, what if I take a fancy to something else next? I can’t let my friend keep helping me for nothing. I’ll take the initiative to suffer a loss and have him owe me a favor.”

Huang Jiajun was stunned for a moment. Then, he asked straightforwardly, “Then what do you think we should do?”

This sentence was a little meaningful.

No young master was a fool. Although he was forthright and forthright, helping him once was a favor. It was called a stick.

In business, cooperation and mutual benefits were the foundations of a long-term relationship.

Wang Yan smiled slightly and revealed half of his cards. “How about this, if I take a fancy to another piece of material and you ask for the base price, I’ll give you a third of the cash.”

It was very fair.

Huang Jiajun nodded slightly to show his approval. Then, he frowned again.

“Car God, let me be clear in advance. I don’t have any objections to your proposal. The key point is that it’s really not worth it — what’s the point of me using a favor to earn just two to three million from my friend?

“We had good luck yesterday. We don’t care about the 500,000 yuan. Just treat it as making friends. There’s really no need to play like that again today.”

Although he was rejected, Wang Yan was very satisfied.

This person was not greedy, and he knew what was going on. He was a good temporary partner.

Therefore, the young master deepened his proposal.

“How about this — the two of us pay half of the money each. I’ll be in charge of looking at the stones, and you’ll haggle over the price. We’ll split the losses equally. How about it?”

Huang Jiajun’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Are you confident in observing the stones?”

Divine Eye Cheat Wang told the truth, “I don’t know much about the basic techniques, but I think that half of the gambling is based on aesthetic perception. To be honest, no one knows the result before they cut it open, so we can continue to adjust the investment ratio. You should consider it.”

Huang Jiajun was silent for a moment, appearing especially calm.

“Actually, I personally trust your feelings. The success rate of yesterday’s bet on the two pieces of materials was 100%; the truth doesn’t lie.”

Wang Yan silently waited for his but.

“However, if you want to play too big, relying on feelings alone won’t work… I’ll give you 30% of the capital. I won’t take the bargain and commission. I’ll take only 30% even if I lose money.”

This was the quality that a shrewd second generation should have. Old Huang was much more reliable than Old Zhou.

“Alright, then it’s a deal.”

Young Master Wang nodded, and then smiled confidently.

“Just enough. I’ll go and Get Brother Sun…”

Huang Jiajun suddenly widened his eyes and pondered for a while. Then, he slapped his thigh. “F*CK, this is amazing!”

Sun Hongwei had been immersed in jade appraising for more than ten years. He had rich experience and sharp eyes. His initial judgment of the material was very accurate. He was an excellent jade-cutting expert.

However, the limitations of a jade-cutting expert were also reflected in him.

The so-called “Immortals are unable to break an inch of jade” described those experts.

With just a glance, they could break 70-80% of the jade. It was obvious which raw stone was worth betting on. However, the remaining two or three layers were all dependent on luck. It was not something that a human could do.

And those two or three layers were the most crucial core value. If they were to make a mistake, they would lose terribly.

That was why it was called stone gambling.

“Car God, aren’t you and that Brother Sun a match made in heaven?”

Huang Jiajun was agitated. He blurted out an idiom, and it shattered into pieces.

You are a match made in heaven!

You are a match made in heaven with all men!

Wang Yan’s face darkened. He silently turned around to look for Sun Hongwei.

When Brother Sun heard Wang Yan’s suggestion, he finally lost his composure.

His expression, which had always been calm even when Mount Tai collapsed, slightly collapsed and revealed a slightly greasy smile.

“This can be done. I’ll do a preliminary screening, you select the best, and Xiao Huang will probe the base price. We each have our own shortcomings and advantages. It’s a good idea.”

Sun Hongwei was very magnanimous. He frankly admitted his shortcomings and did not mind letting Wang Yan, a newbie, lead the most critical segment. He was also a ruthless person.

After a pause, Sun Hongwei looked deeply at Wang Yan. “Actually, I was thinking yesterday. If we get along well in the future, I’ll invite you to go with me next time to Myanmar’s public auction. You take Datou, and I’ll be your assistant. It’s not a problem.”

What if they didn’t get along well?

Sun Hongwei didn’t say, but the connection might be broken.

With Wang Yan’s connections in the Jade industry, no matter how strong his spiritual sense was, the cost-benefit ratio of picking up scraps wouldn’t be much higher.

Each public square had at least ten to twenty thousand raw stones. How Long would he have to pick and choose from them?

This was divided into two evils.

At the same time, it also meant that in a field that he wasn’t familiar with, he shouldn’t think about eating alone. It wouldn’t be very fragrant.

..

“That’s fine. Brother Sun, you and Young Master Huang will each contribute 30% of the funds and focus on their respective roles…”

Wang Yan glanced at Black Tiger halfway through his sentence.

Brother Hu smiled calmly and did not interrupt this matter from beginning to end.

At the crucial moment, this fellow finally showed a quality that was far superior to ordinary people — he had a sense of propriety.

Since he did not have a unique role, he simply did not get involved. He was not moved by the interests at hand and paid attention to protecting relationships and relationships.

They were all shrewd people.

But how could I, Wang Fugui, be bad at handling things?

Wang Yan changed the topic without batting an eyelid. “I don’t have much cash on hand. Brother Hu, give me 10% of the capital and help me slow down. The four of us can come up with 100 million, no more, no less. The risk can be controlled. What do you think?”

Sun Hongwei, of course, would not have any objections. On the contrary, he was very satisfied.

Huang Jiajun could not refute Wang Yan’s face over such a small matter. He also had the same bad taste as Black Tiger. He smiled and nodded.

Brother Hu thought for a moment and did not decline. He took the initiative to take over the miscellaneous tasks. “Time is tight and the task is heavy. Then I will help you run errands to fill in the bids and handle the miscellaneous tasks.”

“Alright, brothers working together can cut through gold easily. Come, Let’s Go!”

A simple yet uneasy partnership was formed.

The simple way was to cooperate and there were no complications.

The difficult part was the combination of manpower. It was not easy to organize four ordinary people to do one thing together. They always had their own ideas, not to mention that they were all the second generation of the rich and powerful.

The process seemed to be done in a few words, but it actually meant that Wang Yan already had enough prestige and ability.

Half a year ago, explosive Wang was very worried about how he was going to control a billion-dollar fortune.

Now, the answer was in his hands.

..

What happened next was not worth mentioning in detail.

Looking at the materials, researching, verifying, communicating the base price, filling in the bid… time flew by.

The most difficult part of the work was with Huang Jiajun.

The public plate was a secret bid. The bottom price in the minds of the stall owners was still not enough, because no one knew how many people were interested in the same raw stone and what kind of price they would give.

However, the stall owner might be able to understand the general psychological price range of the buyer.

When they communicated and probed each other, there would definitely be some clues.

Moreover, the most crucial thing was the stall owner’s blocking bid.

Once the stall owner blocked the bid with a high price, it would be an accurate failed auction. Once the stall owner gave up on blocking the bid with a high price and took the initiative to give the lowest price, then there was a great chance of winning.

For example, the stall owner’s latest bid for raw stone 30520 was 14.98 million.

Wang Yan had filled in 15 million, which basically guaranteed him the stone.

However, if he wanted to take advantage of the stall owner too much and filled in 13 million with the mentality of swindling, then he would be stopped.

Gambling was everywhere.

At noon, they simply dealt with a box lunch and worked until the close of the market at 6 pm. The “handsome doggie and tiger” team had filled out a total of 130 million yuan in bids.

As for the team name, the two of them were stubborn for a long time during lunch.

The Black Tiger had a face value of 90 out of 800 points and was rubbing against doggie.

However, the big brother was the one who paid the most. In the end, the vote was 3 to 1. Brother Hu, you better be good.

“You’re the one who’s weak, your whole family is weak!”

Brother Hu nagged for an entire afternoon, but it did not affect the handsome doggie Wang’s good mood.

The bid of 130 million had a lot of space reserved for preventing the auction from failing.

If all the materials were auctioned off, then the 30 million would be paid by Huang Jiajun. The bill would be settled after the stones were cut.

There was a total of 22 raw stones. The best of the best would be chosen and invest separately. The chance of losing was not high, but no one knew how much they could earn.

Tomorrow was the opening day of the bid. The four men could not hold back their excitement and drank a lot of wine.

Brother Doggie Wang found them to be a hindrance and killed them all.

Then…

Black Tiger and Huang Jiajun, these two bastards, laid Ye Ziwen Down with a backhand!

Wang Yan carried a drunkard back to the hotel and called a waitress to serve her. He spent the night alone reading documents.

At around 8 am, she finally woke up. She clung to her and was extremely touched as she muttered to herself.

“No one has ever taken care of me like this before… Doggie Wang Yan, you’re so nice!”

▽⊙ !

Huh?

Big Sis, what kind of misunderstanding do you have about me?

Before Wang Yan could figure out whether she should explain or not, hiss!

The ellipsis came.

It was already late in the morning when they woke up. When everyone gathered for dinner, the results of the secret bid had already been announced.

The team had taken down a total of 18 raw stones and spent 108.5 million RMB. There was one piece of material that had performed very well that they had regretfully lost.

“It’s pretty good. We achieved our goal perfectly!”

Everyone was not depressed. On the contrary, they were very happy.

This was because all the materials that were won were relatively cheap.

The quality of the Jade was only one of the factors that determined whether or not they could make money. Another important factor was naturally the cost.

Huang Jiajun’s work was very effective.

If they really bid according to the stall owner’s way of asking for sky-high prices, no one would be able to afford it.

It was not a problem of spending too much money, but that they would not be able to get so many raw stones. Those that were too expensive were directly rejected by the seller.

“We’ll pick up the raw stones in the afternoon. Where are we going to unearth them?”

“Let’s find a quiet place and keep it a secret.”

Huang Jiajun raised his hand. “My uncle has a private factory…”

“Don’t use your connections.” Sun Hongwei shook his head. “I have a place.”

It was only because of Huang Jiajun’s favor that they were able to lower the price so much. It was best not to use his people to cut the stones. The relationship in this place was complicated, and it was difficult to keep it a secret.

Otherwise, when the seller knew that Huang Jiajun had made a lot of money, he could not help but grumble in his heart. This was not good.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went to the warehouse set up by Sun Hongwei’s house and used their own cutting master to start cutting the stones.

For the entire afternoon, everyone’s eyes were fixed on this place.

In the beginning, they were still apprehensive. In the middle, they started laughing and laughing. After that, their breathing became heavier and heavier. Their eyes became brighter and brighter, and their expressions became more and more shocked.

Out of the 18 raw stones that they had bought together, they had completely cut down three of them. The crystal inside was very beautiful, but it had no value.

After a slight increase of eight pieces, they were all in stock. Due to problems such as cracking and cotton, their performance was not satisfactory.

After a huge increase of 6 pieces, the jade that was taken out had both volume and appearance.

After a huge increase of 1 piece, a whole piece of violet. It weighed more than 4 kilograms and had a sticky base. The higher the water level, the more abundant it would be. The top half was even pure high ice. It was extremely brilliant!

After cutting it out, Sun Hongwei and Huang Jiajun even had a disagreement because of this.

One felt that carving the whole piece into a decoration would not be a waste of God’s gift.

The other felt that it would be easy to sell it as a small piece, and it could quickly get back the money.

But no matter how they did it, the total price of the finished product would not be less than 150 million.

“We’re rich! We’re rich!”

Huang Jiajun was more excited than he had imagined, and his face was flushed red.

Young Master Wang only smiled steadily. “I thought you wouldn’t care too much about just earning two or three times the bet…”

“F*ck! Who wouldn’t care about a profit of 50 million?”

The rich second generation with the Buddha beads rolled his eyes, expressing his disdain for Wang Yan’s act of forcefully pretending to be arrogant.

“Even if I don’t lack 50 million, I can’t help but like the feeling of personally earning 50 million. It’s even better than f*cking getting high!”

Alright, this was a good reason.

Wang Yan guessed that student Xiao Huang had probably never earned even 10 million personally.

“I’ve already earned 1 billion personally…”

“Yeah, even if it’s out of breath, it’s still a profit. There’s no problem.”

The face-saving Young Master Wang did not voice out the thoughts in his heart as he laughed and celebrated with everyone.

The rough estimate was that it would be around 300 million. He would earn twice as much.

Huang Jiajun had a company that could deal with jadeite. It was opened by his mother. The Huang family mainly dealt with construction and real estate. His family’s relatives basically did not touch those two lines, but they did not touch the rest of the businesses.

Everyone discussed for a while. In the end, they decided that Brother Sun would buy all the jadeite and pay everyone in cash.

Because Huang Jiajun’s mother’s company was in the local area, once a large number of high-quality finished jade products appeared, and there was no clear way to purchase them, people would definitely guess that the bet would increase.

They were all old thugs in the industry, and no one was stupid, so the most prudent way was to bring them back to Shanghai.

After the discussion was settled, brother Sun bought them all and split the money.

Wang Yan finally got 95 million, which was a little more than expected.

This was because jade was not only worth money, but it was also an important source of goods.

In the blink of an eye, the young master had another 115 million in cash in his hands. He was very happy.

Huang Jiajun was even more beautiful. With red eyes, he asked, “Brother, dear brother Wang, there should be a large public auction in Pingzhou in June. Is there another wave?”

If Wang Yan were to learn to break jade, the young master would definitely not do it. He did not have the time or the trouble.

However, if Sun Hongwei and Huang Jiajun could handle the logistics and come to pick up the money directly, it would not be a problem.

“Sure! But there is a limit to how much we can play. Be careful.”

“Don’t worry, I understand!”

I hope you really understand.

Wang Yan was very clear-headed anyway. If they worked together again, this business would probably end.

Familiar stall owners could not always give face. Most of the stall owners were not familiar with each other, so there was a limit to how much they could pick up.

The next Ping Zhou auction could at most accommodate 200 million yuan for everyone. Any more and they would have to face the other stall owners and a large number of buyers to compete with the real price.

If they wanted to compete with the price, why not go directly to the Myanmar auction?

Sun Hongwei and Wang Yan could handle it.

It was not that they did not want to bring Huang Jiajun along. It was just that, in such a level of cooperation, they had to have enough self-worth to ensure that there would not be any problems.

In the business world, playing was one thing, but working together with the public was another. Only by doing a good job of isolation could one not hurt one’s feelings.

Having made up his mind to stop once more in June, Wang Yan changed the topic without batting an eyelid.

“Come on, brothers, cut open my piece of material and see what kind of surprise I can bring to my girlfriend.”

“Alright! Let’s go on stage!”

The cutting line had already been drawn. The master took out a 30520 and directly cut it open.

As expected, the two cracks were extremely deep and the jade shattered.

But in the middle of the two cracks, the most beautiful part in Wang Yan’s perception rippled with a touch of green that was full of spirituality and joy.

“F*ck! Imperial Green?”

Huang Jiajun jumped up and almost hit the beam of the room. With a roar, everyone was shocked.

“Are you for real… Aiyo, it’s really f*cking full!”

“Full” referred to how radiant the green color of the jade was.

It was filled evenly with a thick green color, which meant that it was full green.

As for the word “Emperor”, there was no public opinion, but it was generally required that the head of the water should be at the glass level.

Sun Hongwei went up to pick it up. He sighed and sighed, “Beautiful, so beautiful… I haven’t seen such good material for many years… What a pity…”

Unfortunately, it was too broken.

It only weighed 30 to 40 grams in total, broken into three pieces.

“This material, if it’s a little bigger, can be exchanged for one entire floor of our special zone!”

The three of them pushed Wang Yan aside and clicked their tongues in wonder.

Ye Ziwen couldn’t get in, so she was even more anxious than Wang Yan.

“Wang Wang ~ ~ ~ I Want ~ ~”

Swoosh!

The mysterious Arctic Circle, the peak of Alaska.

In the BGM, Mayan stood proudly.

But Wang Yan’s mind was clear.

“I am saving it for my girlfriend, why are you joining in the fun? Be Good, take those broken stones outside and play with them.”

Ye Ziwen already knew that Wang Yan had a girlfriend, but it didn’t stop her from making things worse.

Previously, she wasn’t really jealous of that mysterious girlfriend, but now she suddenly threw a tantrum.

“You’re biased! You jerk! You don’t love me!”

You’re the one who took the initiative to eat the tender grass, so why are you talking about love with me now?

Did you say that you love me?

Scumbag Wang Yan didn’t even bother to reply to her and directly raised his middle finger.

Ye Ziwen was so angry that she stomped her feet and stepped forward to grab him. She opened her mouth and bit him.

Wang Yan didn’t dodge, but his temperament changed and he looked at her coldly.

Ye Ziwen was probably a born vixen. When she realized that it was useless to throw a tantrum with Wang Yan, she immediately changed her routine. She gently locked her dog’s Paw and middle finger with her teeth and began to serve the dishes.

F*ck!

The young master was completely convinced by this girl.

If there was really a god of pleasure in western fantasy novels, then she could at least become a high priestess for this god in real life.

Seeing that Ye Ziwen had not settled Wang Yan, Huang Jiajun simply could not be bothered to ask, “Are you selling or not?”.

Brother Sun was even more delighted. “Little Wang, can I get someone to make the jewelry for you? It’s guaranteed to be a master.”

“Alright, thank you, Brother Sun.”

Young Master Wang nodded and took a quick glance at the three pieces of so-called imperial jade. He felt that after taking them out, they were no longer as beautiful as they were in the stone.

However, Wang Yan already had enough experience and knew how beautiful those things would be after they were polished. He was very happy.

“What do you plan to do?”

“Enough to do what?”

Sun Hongwei was experienced. He opened his mouth and said, “A bigger pendant, two ring surfaces the size of a fingernail and four one-sided earrings.”

Wang Yan thought about it and quickly made up his mind.

“The biggest one is a Buddha tablet. I plan to give it to my mother. The medium one is a whole pendant, and the small one is two earrings. Give it to my girlfriend. You Don’t have to save the materials to cut it open. Just look at the design.”

“Filial piety!”

Sun Hongwei gave him a thumbs up, weighed it, and nodded.

“It’s good enough to grow water. Making a water drop pendant will indeed be more beautiful. I’ll find someone to think about it for you later, and try to make it into a style that young people like.”

Wang Yan rarely grinned. “Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Sun.”

Huang Jiajun came over and winked. “Brother, don’t you want to ask how much these pendants cost? Just give them to your girlfriend?”

Wang Yan glanced at him with disdain and pointed at the pile of raw jade.

“There’s money all over the floor. Do you think I’m in a hurry to pick them up?”

With a whoosh, a heifer jumped into the vast universe at the speed of the first universe.

The cliff went straight into the clouds.

Huang Jiajun was disheartened. He cupped his hands and left.

‘Serve spicy food, I’ll serve spicy food, alright?’

“What do you plan to do with the rest of the material?”

Sun Hongwei asked with a smile. He glanced at Ye Ziwen. “I’ll carve something for you. You want to keep it as a gift for your female… sexual partner?”

The sentence in the middle was very subtle. Brother Hu was laughing beside him.

Ye Ziwen pouted, feeling wronged. She obediently waited beside Wang Yan, rubbing against him like a kitten begging to be touched.

Look at how obedient I am, quickly dote on me!

However, Wang Yan rejected without even thinking.

“Don’t, I have other treasures for Ye Ziwen. You can keep the rest of the stones. Gather a piece and design something.”

“Okay.” Sun Hongwei nodded. “Then who are you going to give it to? I’ll think about how to design it.”

“Other than giving my mother the Buddha tablet, the rest is for my girlfriend… Oh right, she’s a dancer. See if you have any good ideas.”

This wave of dog food had completely pissed Ye Ziwen off.

Her expression was volatile, and her eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred. She was extremely unhappy.

However, she did not dare to make a fuss anymore. Wang Yan really did not fall for her tricks. Zhou Leng could not compare to him.

At this moment, the favorability rating on the interface jumped from 89 points to 91 points, breaking through to a very sensitive level.

Wang Yan didn’t notice. If he did, he would definitely be confused.

What?

Are you a masochist?

Buying a dowry for your girlfriend in front of me, and you expect me to believe that you have a favorable impression of her?

In this world, some things are so wonderful and unreasonable.

You don’t understand. That’s because you haven’t seen much.

..

After painstakingly arranging everything, it was already past 8 pm.

The group of people who had reaped a bountiful harvest went to drink together again.

The second time, Wang Yan knocked down all three of his good brothers and Big Brothers.

Ye Ziwen had a good memory and was not drunk by those two animals.

The plane was going back to Shanghai the next morning. It seemed that the little fairy wanted to use up all the portion of the year to resist the obsession.

This was the first time that Brother Wang Fugui felt that it was too much for him to face a woman. He had no choice but to make a big move to take a nap for Li Ǎo’s dignity.

Then…

Hahaha!

Who was the one who called my number just now?

It was almost six o’clock when he went to bed. Brother Hu woke him up at around eight o’clock.

He opened his eyes in a daze. He did not realize that there was a notification on the interface at the first moment. Instead, he realized that Ye Ziwen was not beside him.

Eh?

Where did she go?

She was already injured to such an extent, yet she could still walk?

Holding his waist, Zhang Yin got up and found a note on the bedside table. On it were a few lines of words written by her. Beside it was a bank card.

“I’m leaving!”

“I’m very satisfied with your service. The card is for your overnight fee!”

“Little Puppy, remember, it was me who broke you! Don’t brag when you get back!”

“The password is 933339. Don’t give flowers to other women!”

“Next time, when I go to Shanghai, I will ring you up!”

F*ck!

Wang Yan was stunned for a long time before he could react. F*ck, did I really develop a new relationship with her?

Ye Ziwen, I% &@!

The young master did not know whether to laugh or cry as he kept the note and card. He went downstairs with Brother Hu in a daze.

His mood… was very bad, but there was also a hint of wonder mixed in.

Along the way, every time he passed by a bank with an ATM, his heart would feel inexplicably itchy.

Dammit, I really want to see it!

How much money did they give me?
