The third night of the eighth night! The monthly votes aren't good enough, I need them urgently! Please, everyone!

The Lord of Jade usually stayed in Yu Ding Xuan. His office was also the living room. It was shockingly huge and decorated in an ancient style. When all the lights were turned on, it was grand and modern. It was beautiful.
Ling Yun, Long Wu, Song Zhengyang, Murong Wenshi, Murong Feixue, Han Laosan, and some of the most famous jewelry merchants in Huaxia were sitting in the Lord of Jade's office now.
The Lord of Jade brewed tea for Ling Yun personally. It was the best Kung Fu tea.
The sound of firecrackers outside was deafening. It was a celebration for Ling Yun.
This was the first time Tang Meng had the opportunity to enter the Lord of Jade's office. However, no matter who tried to pull him, he refused to enter. Instead, he guarded the King Emerald King with all his might. Even the security guards surrounding the King Emerald King felt like he was at a disadvantage.
Tie Xiaohu and the Green Dragon underlings guarded Ling Yun's three carts of stones carefully. To Ling Yun, the value of those three carts was far greater than the King of Stones.
That was because there were dozens of spirit stones in those three carts that he didn't have time to store in his spatial ring. Those were the real treasures.
"Eighty million is worth a hundred times more in Little Brother Ling Yun's hands in the blink of an eye. Little Brother, you've really slapped our faces today …"
The Lord of Jade brewed tea with a smile. Han Laosan, who stayed with the Lord of Jade almost every day, was naturally half the host. He was joking with Ling Yun.
Ling Yun was a little embarrassed by Han Laosan's teasing. He raised his hand and scratched his head in front of everyone. "If the two of you can't bear to part with it, I can return the King of Stones and the three carts of stones to you …"
Of course, Ling Yun was joking. If the Lord of Jade really took those things back, he wouldn't be able to survive in the stone gambling world anymore. Ling Yun wouldn't let him off either.
"Really?"
The Lord of Jade was so excited that his hands trembled. He broke a teacup.
Han Laosan was also shocked by Ling Yun's words, but he burst into laughter the next moment. "Little brother, you're really not an ordinary person. You know that we won't go back on our words, but you still want to play such a joke on us …"
"I forgot myself, I forgot myself …" The Lord of Jade didn't clean up the broken teacup. Instead, he started pouring tea for Ling Yun.
"Two hundred million for a chance to unlock the King of Stones. It's really worth it. Not a loss, not a loss at all …"
The Lord of Jade poured the tea and offered it to Ling Yun with a smile.
The Lord of Jade thought to himself, No wonder Ling Yun kept emphasizing that the King of Stones was the treasure of his house. The value of his shop's treasure couldn't even be compared to the King of Stones. It was hundreds of times more valuable.
Of course, in Ling Yun's eyes, everything was the exact opposite. The Green Dragon Out at Sea was the best treasure.
Ling Yun took a sip of tea and praised the tea. He then took out his checkbook from his pocket and signed a check for five hundred million. He raised his hand and handed it to the Lord of Jade.
"Lord of Jade, I can't take your shop's treasure for free. I heard that the highest price for it last year was four hundred million. I won't negotiate the price with you. How about five hundred million, including interest?"
Song Zhengyang and Murong Wenshi couldn't help but nod their heads. Ling Yun's way of doing things was really creative. The Lord of Jade said that he wouldn't take a single cent, but he still took out five hundred million.
However, with the Imperial Green Stone King and the Super Tanghulu, five hundred million yuan was nothing to Ling Yun. He didn't need to worry about it at all.
The Lord of Jade pretended to sigh and took the cheque from Ling Yun. He smiled and returned it to Ling Yun. "Little Brother, you can ask everyone here. I, Yu Shengjin, always keep my word. When have I ever gone back on my word?"
"As for what happened just now, I heard that you wanted to return the King of Stones to me and accidentally broke the teacup. It wasn't because of the value of the King of Stones, but because of your courage …"
Song Zhengyang didn't wait for the Lord of Jade to finish his sentence. "Ling Yun, I can guarantee that. Lord of Jade is a man of his word. You'd better keep this five hundred million check!" Song Zhengyang interrupted.
Ling Yun didn't push it any further. He took the cheque and smiled. "So, why did the Lord of Jade ask me to come in?" Ling Yun asked with a smile.
Ling Yun thought to himself that he had to go to Lin Menghan's place for dinner. His future father-in-law was still waiting for him there.
The Lord of Jade sat up straight and looked at the crowd of famous merchants. He exchanged glances with each of them before turning to Ling Yun. "Little Brother Ling Yun, let's not beat around the bush. I invited you in because I want to discuss a business deal with you."
Song Zhengyang was well aware of this. Otherwise, why would he let these jewelry merchants join in on such a private occasion?
Ling Yun naturally understood. He chuckled and said, "Oh? I didn't expect to be qualified to discuss business with the Lord of Jade. It's my honor, please speak. "
The Lord of Jade pondered for a moment and began to speak. "Little brother, if I'm not wrong, this King of Stones should be full of jade on the inside, apart from the outer layer …"
At this point, the Lord of Jade intentionally paused for a moment, causing the surrounding jewelry merchants to exclaim in surprise!
Such a huge piece of King of Green Stone weighed at least a few tons. How much would it be worth if it was full of green jade? Don't forget that it was full of imperial green jade of the Dragon Stone Type!
Just like that, Ling Yun's net worth was already comparable to that of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. It was still uncertain who would win.
The Lord of Jade wouldn't dare to accept it if Ling Yun wanted to return the King of Stones to Yu Ding Xuan. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to afford such wealth.
It was good to have money, but one had to be alive to spend it.
"As the saying goes, no matter how good something is, it's not money when it's at home. It can only be turned into money when it's sold to someone who needs it," the Lord of Jade continued. "Little Brother, no one will be able to afford such a huge piece of Dragon Stone Type if you sell it alone. How about this? You cut a part of it, and we'll find the best sculptor to carve it into jewelry. Then, we'll help you sell it bit by bit. What do you think?"
"You have the source, and we have the channel. You'll earn the most, and we'll only earn the difference between the operating expenses and the sales. We'll cut a part of it after we sell it, how about that?"
Alright, the Lord of Jade was repeating the same old line, cutting the King of Stones into parts.
At this point, the Lord of Jade stopped. All the jewelry merchants' eyes lit up as they stared at Ling Yun. They were afraid that Ling Yun wouldn't agree to it.
Ling Yun understood that this was indeed the best solution at the moment. He nodded without hesitation. "Then we'll do as the Lord of Jade says. We'll do whatever you say! Let's share the money … "
When the surrounding jewelry merchants saw that Ling Yun had agreed, they finally heaved a long sigh of relief. The huge stone in their hearts was instantly lifted.
The Lord of Jade admired Ling Yun's decisiveness. "Little Brother, as for the price of your imperial green jade, we'll calculate it according to the market price of the Dragon Stone Type Imperial Green Jade. What do you think?"
Ling Yun was a newbie, so he didn't understand much. He turned to look at Song Zhengyang and Murong Feixue.
Murong Feixue nodded without a change in expression.
"Ling Yun, if you trust me, I'll represent you and discuss this deal with everyone here. How about that?" Song Zhengyang said after some thought.
Of course, he could trust him. Moreover, with so much imperial green jade, it wouldn't be too bad to earn more or less. Ling Yun smiled slightly and nodded cleanly.
"Old Song, I'll place an order of one billion …"
"I'll place an order of one and a half billion …"
"One and a half billion …"
"Two billion …"
"Three billion …"
Seeing Ling Yun nod, the jewelry merchants started to place their orders before Song Zhengyang could say anything.
Song Zhengyang waved his hand calmly.
"You can't do this. As the saying goes, the rarer something is, the more valuable it is. The imperial green jade is valuable not only because of its excellent quality, but also because of its rarity. If so much imperial green jade enters the market at the same time, no one will be able to make a profit …"
Song Zhengyang was very calm. He had thought of the most important point.
Ling Yun nodded in his heart and was finally relieved. He knew that Song Zhengyang was doing this for his own good.
"How about this, according to the current market price, each of you can place an order of up to one billion. Come back after you've sold them all. I can give everyone priority in ordering."
Song Zhengyang was like a marshal sitting in the middle of the army tent, calm and composed. It was the first time he made such a loud voice. It felt so good to ask for a billion yuan right off the bat.
To be honest, the Lord of Jade was really envious. Why didn't he get to know Ling Yun earlier?
"Alright! You decide, one billion it is. Our Zhou Dafu will place an order of one billion first … "
"Our Zhou Shengsheng will also place an order of one billion. I'll write you a cheque now …"
"Zhou Dasheng Jewelry, one billion …"
"Old Fengxiang, one billion …"
"I represent Old Temple, one billion …"
"Xu Jewelry, one billion …"
Only the Lord of Jade and Murong Wenshi from Tianxi Pavilion didn't bid. They weren't in a hurry since Song Zhengyang couldn't run away.
As for Pearl Jade Court, there was no need to rush. Song Zhengyang was the boss of Pearl Jade Court. What was there for him to be anxious about?
The fifteen jewelry merchants were fighting to place their orders. Every one of them placed an order of one billion without exception. Ling Yun received fifteen billion in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the round of buying ended. Every jewelry merchant received a supply of one billion. All of them were beaming with joy.
"Old Song, tonight at Shangri-La, it's my treat. Let's drink till we're drunk …"
"Old Song, don't go to his place. I live at Victorious Return. Let's go to Victorious Return …"
…
Song Zhengyang smiled faintly as he listened to everyone's desperate invitations. His gaze swept over to Ling Yun. (To be continued.)
