"Boss Zhang, was that piece of stone solved yesterday? How did it go, did it increase in value?" Seeing Zhang Yakun approaching, the stall owner asked with a smile.

"Increase? It plummeted. Look, this is what was opened yesterday, just this little bit of material, and there's a crack. I'm lucky it was only five thousand. If I had bought it for fifteen thousand yesterday, that would have been a huge loss!" Zhang Yakun took out the jade from his bag and said grumpily.

"Hehe, gambling on stones, ups and downs are normal, totally normal. How about you look again, I'll definitely give you the cost price," the stall owner glanced at the jade in Zhang Yakun's hand and said with an embarrassed smile.

Gambling on stones was such a thing; once bought, it was no longer any concern of the seller, a rule that Zhang Yakun of course understood. Seeing the stall owner talk like this, he naturally wouldn't mention the stone from last night again. Instead, he picked up the stone that Ge Dongxu had recommended yesterday and said, "This is what you said, give me a price for this one."

"Isn't this the very piece that the young man took a liking to last night?" The stall owner had a good memory and immediately recognized that Zhang Yakun was holding the stone that Ge Dongxu had recommended to him the previous day, and he couldn't help but gulp, blurting out.

"Exactly, the color at this open window isn't as good as my piece from yesterday. You agree with my view. The one yesterday was five thousand; this one for three thousand should be fine, right?" Zhang Yakun said.

The stall owner indeed didn't think highly of this stone and certainly didn't believe that Ge Dongxu really had that skill. Moreover, having said what he had before, he didn't ask Zhang Yakun to raise the price and nodded, "Alright, since Boss Zhang has spoken, I have to give this face."

Zhang Yakun paid the money and then said, "I'll use your place to open this stone."

Though the stall owner didn't believe Ge Dongxu truly had such keen eyes for jade, he was curious. Of course, he also wanted Ge Dongxu to realize in person that the previous stone's success was purely a fluke.

So when Zhang Yakun said he wanted to open the stone there, the stall owner naturally couldn't wait and nodded without a second thought, "No problem, I want to see too."

So, Zhang Yakun and the stall owner came together, drew the lines, studied it for a while, and then started to solve the stone.

As soon as the stone was opened, both of their eyes popped out.

The jade inside this stone was more than double that of the previous one, and most importantly, except for the color being slightly inferior, there were no cracks at all. With this volume and appearance, it could easily fetch around ten thousand, no problem.

That is to say, in just this short time, Zhang Yakun had made at least seven thousand yuan.

Seven thousand yuan was not a small amount at the time!

"No way, can it be this coincidental?" It took a while for the stall owner to come back to his senses, but he still found it hard to believe it was true, thinking it was more likely just a coincidence.

But Zhang Yakun didn't think so. Besides these two pieces, there was another one yesterday that Ge Dongxu had accurately predicted. As the saying goes, 'once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is a pattern.' One or two might be coincidence, but all three being correct as Ge Dongxu said, how could it be explained by mere coincidence?

Thus, once he came back to his senses, Zhang Yakun's view of Ge Dongxu had completely changed, even showing a hint of reverence.

This is a true expert!

My own experience is only half as good compared to his!

"Let's go, Brother Zhang," Ge Dongxu didn't bother to explain or prove anything specifically to the stall owner and said with a smile, then said to Zhang Yakun.

"Hehe, Dongxu, hold on, I was undecided about a few stones yesterday, could you help me evaluate them?" Hearing this, Zhang Yakun's face carried a flattering smile.

"You don't say, Boss Zhang. You really think this young man..." The stall owner said in surprise upon seeing this.

"An expert, a true expert! Just yesterday, he reminded me about a piece, but I didn't listen to him, and as a result, I took a bad fall," Zhang Yakun said.

"My apologies, such an oversight!" Upon hearing this, the stall owner suddenly showed great respect, bowing to Ge Dongxu.

"Brother Zhang, Mr. Wang is overpraising me, I just took a casual look," Ge Dongxu humbly said, and then continued walking forward with Zhang Yakun.

After a stroll around the market, Ge Dongxu helped Zhang Yakun review the materials that he had hesitated to buy yesterday, gave some advice, and also recommended a few pieces that he thought were decent from his viewing the day before.

As for himself, he never thought of making money from this.

It's always good to leave some room; he wasn't short of money and preferred to leave opportunities for others rather than monopolizing all the advantages for himself.

After Zhang Yakun bought the materials, they were all cut on the spot.

Each cut increased in value, and after a few such instances, Zhang Yakun was utterly admiring of Ge Dongxu.

"Little brother, take these three pieces of jade," Zhang Yakun said, handing over three pieces of jade that had just been cut as they sat in the car after leaving the market. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

"What are you doing?" Ge Dongxu did not accept them.

"I owe my recent earnings to your help, so you must take these three pieces of jade, otherwise, I'll feel uneasy," Zhang Yakun said.

"Ha, to be honest, Brother Zhang, I'm not lacking these few pieces of jade, so you don't need to be polite with me," Ge Dongxu said with a laugh and a wave of his hand.

On hearing this, Zhang Yakun paused, then took back the jade and chuckled, "It seems you're not only an expert but also a real wealthy person, so I won't be polite then."

"We're all friends here, no need for formalities," Ge Dongxu laughed.

"By the way, Dongxu, if it's not too much to ask, what business do you do? Of course, if it's inconvenient to answer, then don't worry about it. I'm just curious how someone as young as you can be so rich. And from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like it's from family wealth, but that you're genuinely capable," Zhang Yakun asked curiously, taking back the jade and driving in the direction of Yingjiang.

Ge Dongxu was too young, after all. The jade he had nonchalantly declined was worth tens of thousands, at least. How could Zhang Yakun not be curious?!

"There's nothing inconvenient about it," Ge Dongxu smiled and said, "You must know about Qinghe Herbal Tea, right? I'm one of the major shareholders, having founded it with Tang Yahui's father and two other friends."

"Qinghe Herbal Tea! You're actually a major shareholder of Qinghe Herbal Tea!" After hearing this, Zhang Yakun's hand trembled on the steering wheel, almost hitting a pedestrian crossing the road in front of him.

Zhang Yakun certainly knew about Qinghe Herbal Tea; it was the leading herbal tea beverage company in Huaxia Country. It was a staple drink at his home during the summer, and he had even had a can last night at dinner. He was sitting next to the company's major shareholder! He knew Tang Yahui's father was a shareholder due to his relationship with Tang Yahui.

Good heavens, that means his worth must be over a billion!

Oh my God, I'm actually sitting next to a millionaire!

"It's better if you keep this to yourself; I'm still young and don't want too much attention," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

Additionally, while I will mention jade gambling briefly, I won't go into detail, since such plots are too common and I'm not particularly skilled in that area. I'll try to write more about Brother Xu showing off his style.
