Future News: My Phone Mutated

All the jade merchants present were no longer in the mood to listen to the host's words.

In any case, it would be the same if they went to watch the big screen or read the written announcement posted in the stadium. It wouldn't delay them from knowing the bidding result.

Therefore, what they were more concerned about now was why Lin Bai had specially added that one yuan yesterday?

After all, Lin Bai's initial bid of 300 million yuan was the same as the young boss's.

If Lin Bai had not raised the bid, they would have had to carry out a second hidden bid to determine the final ownership of the stone.

However, Lin Bai seemed to have expected it. He deliberately added another dollar and directly bid for the stone.

This made everyone wonder if Lin Bai had some special ability that allowed him to predict the future?

Or could it be that he was able to predict the final price in advance and that was why he added that one dollar?

Although this explanation was very mysterious, people who were in business were more or less superstitious.

Not to mention other things, most business owners had a Pixiu (a Chinese mythical hybrid creature that is considered a powerful protectorsof fengshui practitioners) figurine in their offices.

Even if they didn't use Pixiu, they definitely wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to a godly beast like Pixiu.

As long as it was related to fortune, they basically would rather believe in it.

Therefore, they were naturally more inclined to believe that Lin Bai had some special ability.

Even if it was really like what Lin Bai said yesterday, it was just pure intuition, they still wanted to make a friend of Lin Bai.

The next time they gambled on stones, they could ask Lin Bai to use his instinct to help them make a judgment. Who knows, they might be able to make a fortune too?

With this thought in mind, a few of the more mobile jade merchants had already squeezed to Lin Bai's side.

They laughed and tried to get close to Lin Bai.

"Little brother, I've never seen you before. Did you just come into contact with jade?"

"What did you do in the past?"

"When you bid yesterday, I happened to be at the side. At that time, I was wondering why you added an extra yuan."

"Now that I look at it, young man, you are really prescient!"

"With your foresight, boldness, and courage, you are simply a genius in stone speculation!"

"You should be born to earn a living off of jade. Really, I didn't believe in talent in the past, but now that I see you, I believe in it!"

"In another five years, no, no, just three years! When you have fully developed, you will definitely be the leader of the jade industry in our country!"

...

Lin Bai was quite comfortable with this round of flattery.

Although Lin Bai knew clearly that the other party had a purpose for flattering him so much, who would turn down compliments?

Lin Bai responded casually and listened to their compliments with a smile.

Suddenly, Lin Bai felt a chill behind him.

When he turned around, he was shocked to find that the young boss who had bid 300 million was standing behind him.

He was staring straight at him.

How should he describe his expression?

Lin Bai felt that if this young boss had a knife in his hand right now, he would definitely rush over and stab him twice.

The young boss noticed that Lin Bai had noticed him, so he simply walked forward and asked loudly,

"What exactly are you thinking? Why did you add that one yuan?!"

Luo Yang looked at his aggressive appearance and was worried that he would make a move, so he silently stood in front of Lin Bai to block him.

At the same time, he also warned the young boss with a sullen face.

"I'm warning you, don't do anything rash! There's security here!"

The young boss was also angry after being yelled at by Luo Yang. He said angrily,

"I'm just asking what's wrong. Which law states that I can't speak freely?"

Luo Yang said, "We have no obligation to answer you!"

The young boss sneered, "I think you guys are feeling guilty, right?"

"I bid 300 million, and you guys only bid one yuan more than me. How could it be so coincidental?"

"It must have been when I was writing the bid form that you guys peeked and deliberately added an extra piece to steal the material that I liked!"

"This is against the rules, you should be disqualified!"

Luo Yang was furious.

"Which eye of yours saw us peeking at you?"

"How delusional of you! Hurry up and go to the mental hospital to have a look at your brain!"

The young boss roared, "Who are you scolding!?! Try saying that again!"

Luo Yang sneered, "Scolding you? What's wrong with that? I've never seen someone like you who insists on being scolded again."

The young boss was so angry that he wanted to make a move.

His friends who were traveling with him quickly stopped him and forcefully pulled him to the side. They whispered a few words in his ear.

Only then did the young boss give up on the idea of making a move.

He only looked at Luo Yang and Lin Bai with a gaze that was still filled with anger. It was as if he wanted to use his gaze to chop them into pieces.

Lin Bai also took the opportunity to say to Luo Yang, "We're going out. There's no need to get into a conflict with others."

"Come, let's go through the formalities."

"After we pay the money, we can pull the material and cut it open. Don't you want to know if we're making a loss or if we're making a profit?"

After listening to Lin Bai's words, Luo Yang's attention instantly shifted.

"Yes, yes, yes, the important matter is more important!"

After saying that, Luo Yang raised his voice again and deliberately shouted at the young boss. "Let's go! Let's cut the stone!"

The young boss was so angry that his face turned green.

Seeing him like this, Luo Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud. All the previous unhappiness was swept away.

According to the bidding rules of the public auction, the winning bidder had to sign the "winning bid contract" with the organizers.

If after signing the contract, the winning bid price was paid on the spot, then the jade raw materials that were bought could be taken away directly.

The organizers would help handle all kinds of procedures, such as customs clearance, transportation procedures, or the approval of sales, processing certificates, and so on.

If the price was too high and the winning bidder did not have enough money, then the latter would not be able to bring the materials away.

They had to complete all the payments within three months before they could take the materials away.

If they were unable to collect the required payment after three months, or simply reneged on the purchase, they would be severely punished, or even lose the qualification to participate in the jadeite emporium forever.

Lin Bai had already understood these rules thoroughly.

He knew that if he wanted to take that piece of material out and cut it, he had to make all the payment on the spot.

Fortunately, this wasn't a problem for Lin Bai.

Lin Bai and Luo Yang followed the staff's instructions and went to a special office area to sign the "contract for winning the bid".

However, what they didn't expect was that the young boss was up to something again.

He directly ran out to protest against the organizers' decision with the reason that Lin Bai and Luo Yang had used improper means to obtain his bid price and asked to revoke Lin Bai's bid qualification.

After he made such a fuss, the organizers didn't dare to easily sign the contract with Lin Bai.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Luo, as there are people who have objections to your bid qualification, we need to investigate the truth before deciding whether to sign the contract or not."

The representative of the organizers said so.
