Chapter 117: Live Advertising
No matter how reluctant Lu Chun was in his heart, in the end he could only watch Lu WenShan hand over the apple green glass jade to Lin Luo.
“As the saying goes, there are people beyond people and mountains beyond mountains. Mr. Lin, it was my honor to battle against you.” Lu WenShan said with sincerity when he handed the jade over to Lin Luo.
Lin Luo replied with a modest smile, “No, I just had better luck than you. Being able to bet on a glass type was enough to prove your level, Teacher Lu. Even if you lose this time, you did so with honor.”
Lin Luo’s words really touched Lu WenShan’s heart. Even if he knew that Lin Luo’s words were mostly out of courtesy, they just so happened to allow the last traces of regret and depression in his heart dissipate.
“Uncle! Let’s go!” Lu Chun suddenly shouted to Lu WenShan. He was so angry that he nearly exploded on the spot. How could he tolerate Lu WenShan and Lin Luo talking and laughing with each other?
If it weren’t for the fact that he was being watched by the people from the Stone Gambling Association and the rally organizer, as well as many bystanders, he would really like to rush up and snatch back the jade in Lin Luo’s hand!
He didn’t dare to really do it, but he also couldn’t cast his anger on Lu WenShan. If he offended this uncle of his, he would definitely be beaten by his dad after he got home. In the end he could only shout to vent his frustrations.
Lu WenShan shook his head helplessly, and after leaving Lin Luo, he followed Lu Chun and the rest of their group.
Lin Luo packed the two priceless jades into his space button and left the stone cutting area under the escort of the rally’s staff members.
In the end, the rally organizer was really grateful to Lu Chun for his ‘careful eye’. If he hadn’t hired Lu WenShan to challenge Lin Luo, it was unlikely that such a wonderful game would have occurred.
The highest number of online users in recent years on the official StarNet site of the Gambling Stone Rally hadn’t exceeded 20 million. Today though, it directly broke through 100 million, and after Lin Luo opened the FuLuShou glass jade, it reached its peak and almost crashed their small StarNet site cite completely.
This was just the first day of the rally. Chances were that after the news was released, more and more people would be willing to participate in the Fifth Star Territory’s Gambling Stone Rally in the future!
Lin Luo was a living treasure for them!
The headquarters immediately decided to set Lin Luo up as a senior VIP customer which would give him the right to visit the warehouses of the major jadeite merchants in the Fifth Star Territory and to give him the best prices available.
In addition, the rally organizer also sent people to negotiate with Lin Luo, hoping that during his participation in the Gambling Stone Rally, their people would be able to take some videos so that they could be uploaded to their official StarNet site to attract the attention of more people.
Of course, all filming content required the permission of Lin Luo himself.
If Lin Luo agreed they were willing to pay Lin Luo a considerable fee and send staff to conduct key patrols wherever he went to protect his personal safety and ensure smooth transactions.
Lin Luo and Xing Mo discussed it a little and eventually agreed. The organizer offered very generous conditions by giving him a lot of autonomy and at the same time being the ones to bring up paying him to use his videos, so it showed that they were very sincere.
Although it might have seemed that the organizer was leaching off Lin Luo’s popularity to advertise themselves, it was actually a mutually beneficial relationship. From what they had seen, the quality of gambling stones in the Fifth Star Territory was still very high. By making Lin Luo a VIP, the organizer was willing to open the warehouse inventories of major jadeite merchants for Lin Luo to choose from, which was equivalent to providing them with a source of high-quality goods. All together, it was a beneficial development for the future of their energy company.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Luo and Xing Mo just walked into their room when He Kun and Xu Jian squeezed in with them.
“What are you doing?” Lin Luo looked at them speechlessly, seeing the fierce posture they had just used to squeeze into the door, he didn’t know who they thought they were going to rob.
“He he he, Xiao Luo! Can you show us those two jades?” He Kun rubbed his hands like a fly.
“I guess you’re here for this too. Come here.” Lin Luo beckoned them over with amusement, then took the two glass jades out of his space button and put them on the bed.
The two rushed over with excitement and squatted next to the bed to stare hungrily at the two jades. This was the first time either of them had seen glass jade up close.
The last time Lin Luo had bet on the purple and gold two color glass jade at the Vermi Open Auction they thought that they would have a chance to see it after they went home, so they didn’t go to Lin Luo immediately. As a result, Lin Luo and Xing Mo met with pirates halfway and almost lost their lives. Although they both came back safely in the end, by the time they went to Lin Luo to see the purple and gold two color glass jade, the elemental energy in the jade had already been extracted by Lin Luo into element liquid. In the end they only got to see a transparent crystal, which just looked like glass.
Therefore, they weren’t willing to miss this opportunity.
