Chapter 161:118, making tens of millions! Lin Mo creates another legend!_8
After an entire day of verification, he could finally access the funds in his account.
However, after transferring 8 million, Lin Mo immediately received a risk notification from the bank, warning him to monitor the transactions on his bank card.
Once all the procedures were completed, a staff member asked Lin Mo whether he would like to have the jade raw stone cut open on the spot or choose to take it away packaged, advising that the auction house would cover transportation costs if he chose the latter, or cover the cutting fee if he chose the former.
Lin Mo, of course, chose to have it cut open on the spot.
What would he do with such a huge stone? Once cut, he could immediately sell it and comfortably exchange it for money!
The staff member then led two people to the stone-cutting area.
By this time, it was already 9 o’clock in the evening, but the stone-cutting area was still as busy as ever.
There was no doubt that Lin Mo was the biggest topic of the day at the Yongshunxiang Antique and Raw Stone Market,
Whether it was the Yellow Sparrow Painting worth 15 million he got from the Five Horse Painting today or his extravagant spending at the auction house just now, it inevitably became the focus of discussion.
The stone-cutting area was not outside but in an exclusive VIP area.
There were many people in the VIP area, bustling, yet much quieter than the outside, with most being familiar faces that had been seen at the auction earlier.
Xiang Feiwen stood beside the jade raw stone, his face full of disdain as he watched Lin Mo and Zhang Yihua, just waiting for their embarrassing moment to mock them.
The entire day had truly frustrated him.
Upon seeing Lin Mo, a staff member pointed to the jade raw stone in the middle of the stone-cutting area and said, “Mr. Lin, this is the jade raw stone you just purchased. Would you like to have it cut now?”
“If needed, I can call the Jade Carving Master over right now.”
As it was getting late, Lin Mo also wanted to finish early to avoid wasting another day. He nodded and said, “Sure, bring your Jade Carving Master over. Let’s start cutting now!”
Hearing that the stone would be cut on the spot, the expressions of the people around became excited, as they had been worried Lin Mo might not cut it tonight and their anticipation would be for nothing.
The sneer on the corner of Xiang Feiwen’s mouth became even more pronounced and unabashed.
A short while later,
a middle-aged man wearing traditional Chinese attire, complete with a black apron, and exuding an extraordinary aura approached, laughing as he spoke, “Lin brother is truly magnanimous. If you don’t mind, how about I serve as the Jade Carving Master this time?”
Lin Mo recognized this person, having added him on WeChat before.
He was Zeng Shirong, the manager in charge of the Yongshunxiang Antique Market Jade and Antique Division on behalf of the Zeng Family Clan.
Lin Mo wasn’t surprised by his presence.
The auctioneer had already mentioned that the Zeng Family Clan had initially purchased the jade raw stone but, after cutting it twice and resulting in a collapse, they chose to auction it off.
Being clueless about jade cutting himself, Lin Mo replied with a smile, “I was just worrying about where to find an expert to give me some advice. If you’re willing to help, I couldn’t ask for more.”
“To be honest, this is my first time cutting such an expensive stone.”
Upon hearing this, the spectators also immediately perked up.
Wow, he had never cut before and dared to start with such a big gamble?
At this time, Zhang Yihua was also worried about potential problems, but due to his trust in Lin Mo and seeing the confidence on Lin Mo’s face, he said nothing. At this moment, probably the happiest person in the room was Xiang Feiwen, who had been feeling depressed and frustrated all day long.
But soon, he wouldn’t be able to remain happy..
