Chapter 75: Bitter Rivals

Chapter 75

As the elder came into view, the people below became excited.

"It's Elder Zhang, I never expected him to be in Myanmar."

"No wonder we haven't heard from Elder Zhang for a long time."

"Elder Zhang is a legend in the gambling stone world. At the Gambling Stone Exchange Meeting two years ago, he singlehandedly won the bid for nine raw stones, and seven of them turned out to be jadeite, causing a great sensation at the time."

"As they say, even immortals find it hard to judge jade. Elder Zhang is simply a living immortal."

"Many people wanted to become his disciples, but unfortunately they were all rejected."

"You didn't know, did you? Elder Zhang has his own mine in Myanmar, and most of the raw stones at this Gambling Stone Exchange Meeting were transported from his mine."

"Elder Zhang is truly incredible, to actually own a mine in a place like Myanmar."

Listening to the discussions and the admiring gazes cast at him, the smile on Elder Zhang's face deepened. He raised his hand in a composed gesture, and the venue immediately fell silent. "I know everyone is eagerly anticipating the results of the bidding. Please look at the big screen."

As he spoke, the numbers of the raw stones and the bidding numbers of the merchants who won the bid started to scroll on the big screen.

Some were delighted, while others were saddened.

Ling Yue watched the scrolling screen, and seeing that she had won the bid for several raw stones she had bid on, she revealed a satisfied smile.

"Only the king of raw stones is left. I wonder who will win the bid."

"I also bid on that king of raw stones."

"I came just for the king of raw stones. I set my sights on it last year, and this year I'm going all in, either heaven or hell."

"If I win the bid for that king of raw stones, I'll reveal its quality right here on the spot."

With everyone's hopeful gaze, the screen finally displayed the number of the king of raw stones and the bidding number.

"It's 92, I noticed they've already won several bids."

"Bid on No. 2," Ling Yue replied. Of the three raw stones, No. 2 had the most concentrated spiritual energy, undoubtedly an extraordinary piece of jadeite.

"Okay, thank you Yue Yue!" Tang Xin happily turned to tell Old Mr. Tang Ling Yue's suggestion.

Old Mr. Tang smiled at Ling Yue. He had also favored Raw Stone No. 2, so he wanted to ask for Ling Yue's opinion. Of course, if she also wanted No. 2, he would not compete with her, but he would not let others have it either.

Raw Stone No. 1 was quickly won with a bid of 3 million.

"Next, we will start the bidding for Raw Stone No. 2. This raw stone is from the Mong Mit quarry, with a black schist skin. The starting bid is 500,000."

"550,000!"

"600,000!"

"610,000!"

The bidding for Raw Stone No. 2 was not as intense as for No. 1. Apart from some merchants who were particularly familiar with raw stones from the Mong Mit quarry, not many people bid.

Raw stones from the Mong Mit quarry generally had poorer luster and often contained black fibers or white mists, so many did not dare take the risk.

"1 million!" Old Mr. Tang raised the number plate in his hand. He had always been decisive in his actions. As long as he set his sights on something, he would not hesitate. This was also the reason why he had been able to build such a large fortune in just a few decades.

"1.01 million!"

Old Mr. Tang followed the voice and saw it was his sworn enemy. He frowned slightly. "2 million!"

"2.01 million!" His opponent gave Old Mr. Tang a provocative smile.

"3 million!" For this raw stone, Old Mr. Tang was determined to win it.

"3.01 million!"

Old Mr. Tang gritted his teeth and turned to look at Ling Yue. Seeing her give a slight nod, he raised the number plate in his hand. "10 million!" If his opponent continued, he would give up on this raw stone.

His opponent smiled meaningfully and gestured for Old Mr. Tang to go ahead. He did not have high expectations for this raw stone. His bidding against Old Mr. Tang was simply to annoy him, since Tang's jewelry store had always done better business than his.
