“James Bro, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon. You really have a sharp eye! Are you still going to solve it? If not, how about I offer 300,000?”

　　David Bolton immediately started getting friendly, warmly patting James Bolton on the shoulder.

　　“Old Bolton, that’s not very fair! James Bro, how about 500,000? It’s just turned out to be green, but no one can guarantee what’s inside next. My offer is definitely not low!” Another successful businessman’s voice came from behind.

　　“Hehe, Mr. Young really is generous! I won’t beat around the bush—550,000. James Bro, if you’re willing, I can transfer the money right now!” David Bolton showed no embarrassment at all. Business is all about buying low and selling high, and besides, he’d only met James Bolton once before. It was normal to try to bargain.

　　Seeing that someone else wanted to raise the price, James Bolton quickly said, “Bosses, let’s wait until it’s all solved! Solving it completely also lowers your risk!”

　　“You really have guts, brother! Alright, we’ll wait until it’s solved!” David Bolton was the first to agree, and the others chimed in as well.

　　The stone-cutting master heard James Bolton say to continue, so he got back to work, cutting and polishing the stone. It took about half an hour to finally reveal the whole piece of jadeite.

　　Looking at the icy green jadeite in his hand, enough to carve several bangles, James Bolton couldn’t help but feel a bit weak, even though he was no longer an ordinary person!

　　“Great! Bro, it’s icy green! 2.2 million!”

　　“I’ll offer 2.25 million!”

　　……

　　“2.7 million! Le Fu Jewelry wants it!”

　　“Hehe, David, aren’t you trying to fool Little James Bro? 3.2 million, my Young Jewelry wants it!” The speaker was the handsome man in his forties whom David Bolton had just called Mr. Young.

　　This Mr. Young seemed to have quite a background. Even after being challenged several times, David Bolton didn’t get angry, just looked a bit embarrassed.

　　Mr. Young’s offer was high, raising the price by 500,000 at once. The other potential bidders all fell silent.

　　Seeing that no one else was speaking, James Bolton knew it was about done and said, “If there are no higher offers, this icy green jadeite goes to Mr. Young!”

　　Mr. Young saw there was no competition and smiled slightly, saying to James Bolton, “James Bro, my offer is definitely above market price! I can transfer the money right now, what do you think?”

　　High-end jadeite is hard to find on the market these days, so Mr. Young was willing to pay any price for this icy material. His jewelry company hadn’t had any high-quality jadeite in a long time; he’d already replaced several purchasing managers, but it hadn’t helped!

　　The main reason was that Myanmar had reduced its raw material exports to China. If he didn’t buy a few pieces now, he might run out of stock next month. That’s why the anxious Mr. Young came to the antique street himself, hoping to find some good material.

　　He didn’t expect that shortly after arriving, he’d see James Bolton solve a piece of icy jadeite!

　　James Bolton had thought he’d be lucky to sell it for a million or so, but who would have thought it would fetch over three million!

　　Actually, James Bolton didn’t understand jadeite. Nowadays, after some unscrupulous dealers have hyped up high-end jadeite, prices have soared to unimaginable levels!

　　If James Bolton had solved a glass-type jadeite today, it would be normal for the price to multiply dozens of times. James Bolton gave an account number to Mr. Young, who told his staff to go transfer the money, while he himself started chatting with James Bolton.

　　“James Bro, if you ever have more high-end jadeite, you must let me know. No matter what others offer, I’ll always add ten percent. How about it?” As he spoke, he handed over a gold-embossed business card.

　　James Bolton glanced at the card and grinned. Just this business card alone probably cost a thousand yuan to make!

　　“Mr. Young, you’re too kind. It was just luck! I can’t guarantee I’ll get high-end jadeite next time.” James Bolton shook his head a bit embarrassed.

　　“James Bro, you’re too modest. David just said that last time at Old Carter’s, you had two consecutive wins, and today you got icy jadeite again. Your eye is really something!”

　　“That’s right! James Bro, you have to look after your old brother here in the future! I wouldn’t dare compete with Mr. Young for high-end jadeite, but you can always come to me for mid- and low-grade jadeite!” At this moment, David Bolton chimed in from the side.

　　James Bolton smiled, and just then his phone rang in his pocket. He picked it up and saw that Mr. Young’s payment had arrived. With a look of joy, James Bolton handed the jadeite to Mr. Young, chatting and laughing with the jewelry company bosses and managers.

　　At that moment, the sound of firecrackers rang out nearby. The long-absent Boss Howard and a few assistants were setting off firecrackers. It turned out that when James Bolton had just hit a win, Boss Howard found out and went to buy firecrackers, but the shop next door had sold out! Boss Howard had to go all the way out of the antique street to buy some, and set them off as soon as he got back.

　　“Haha, I told you Little James would win today! See, I was right!” Boss Howard walked over with a big smile.

　　“Old Howard, with those few worthless stones of yours, if there’s a win, it’s just James Bro’s luck!” joked a customer who seemed to know Boss Howard well.
