The Strongest Tycoon

When Lin Fan heard that the owner of this shop was busy, he didn't think much of it. Initially, he didn't plan to wait and go to another shop to take a look.    

    

After all, there were a lot of stores that operated jade artifacts in this market, so there was no need to waste his time here.    

    

But Lin Xianer pulled Xia Xuan and Isa Ivy to look at the jade ornaments on the counter. Lin Fan saw that she was in high spirits and did not want to disturb her, so he nodded and found a chair to sit on and wait in the store.    

    

They waited for more than an hour and Lin Xianer and the other two kept trying to wear all kinds of jewelry but did not feel like it took long.    

    

Lin Fan waited by the side, bored to death. He did not have any patience left.    

    

Not only him, even the employees in the shop were a little impatient.    

    

Lin Xianer San'er kept asking them to take out the jade jewelry from the counter to try it on, which made the employees very dissatisfied.    

    

In their hearts, these few people were here to process the jade. They were definitely not customers who wanted to buy jewelry, but they just had to try it on endlessly. It would be strange if they had good faces.    

    

Just when both sides were losing patience, the boss of the shop, Ma Chunlai, finally finished his work and slowly walked out.    

    

"Does that person want to process jade?" Ma Chunlai glanced around the shop and then looked at Lin Fan.    

    

There were only a few people in the store now. Three ridiculously beautiful girls were looking at the accessories. Lin Fan was the only one sitting at the side with a backpack under his feet.    

    

"Hello, are you the boss or the sculptor here?" Lin Fan stood up and asked.    

    

"I am both the boss and the sculptor. If you want to process jade, just come to me. But I have a promise that if you don't like jade, don't take it out. Although my store is small, the craftsmanship is obvious in the circle. If it is not good jade, I will not take it out." Ma Chunlai carefully sized Lin Fan up.    

    

He came to a conclusion in his heart that Lin Fan was not a big shot.    

    

Although he was tall and handsome, it wasn't enough for him to eat.    

    

He was young and dressed in ordinary clothes. At first glance, he did not look like he had any background. He probably could not bring out any good stuff either.    

    

Ma Chunlai was still a little proud. Of course, he also had the capital to be proud.    

    

In the jade circle of Haizhou, he was considered one of the top figures. The people he came and went were all customers with status.    

    

If it was an ordinary person who brought inferior jade stones to ask him to sculpt, he would always reject this kind of work.    

    

It was not that he looked down on it, but that there was no need to waste his time on it. What good jade could an ordinary person have? Even if it was carved out, it would be meaningless. Instead of wasting his time on it, he might as well do the commission for those precious jade.    

    

Not only could he earn a lot of money, but he could also increase his reputation in the circle.    

    

Therefore, his words were somewhat impolite to Lin Fan, who was a guest.    

    

Lin Fan did not flare up. It was normal for someone with some ability to have a temper. Besides, he was not familiar with this boss. Why did he have to be so polite?    

    

And there was no need for that. Because of such a trivial matter, he smiled and said, "Is it a good jade? Actually, I'm not too sure either. Boss Ma, why don't you take a look first?"    

    

"Yes, take a look." Ma Chunlai said indifferently. He handed the purple sandpot that he had been holding to his mouth and took a sip.    

    

Lin Fan bent down and picked up the backpack under his feet. Inside was the stone the size of a watermelon.    

    

A few dozen kilograms was indeed not light. Lin Fan had to put in a lot of effort to pick it up. Then he handed it to Ma Chunlai and unzipped it.    

    

"Puff!"    

    

Ma Chunlai saw the raw stone in the bag and immediately widened his eyes. The tea that he did not even have time to swallow sprayed out.    

    

Luckily, Lin Fan dodged in time, or else he would have spat it all on his face.    

    

"This, this is the jade you want to process?!" Ma Chunlai asked in disbelief.    

    

The precious purple sandpot in his hand almost fell to the ground. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Fan's backpack shakily, as if he had seen a ghost.    

    

"Yeah, is there a problem?" Lin Fan asked.    

    

He didn't know much about jade, but he knew that this raw stone seemed to belong to a type of Green Mountain Jade. As for whether it was a good jade or not, he wasn't very sure.    

    

But Ma Chunlai was different. He was about to faint from fright.    

    

He had been in the jade industry for a few decades, and he could be considered to have cultivated a pair of Fiery Golden Eyes. Furthermore, he had seen all sorts of scenes.    

    

But today, he was still stunned by the scene in front of him!    

    

"You, where did you get this raw stone?" Ma Chunlai asked in a daze.    

    

In this circle, customers could not ask where the jade came from. This was a rule, but Ma Chunlai, who was shocked, could not help breaking the rule and asking. It could be seen how restless his heart was at this moment.    

    

"I picked it up casually. Why? Isn't it a good jade?" Lin Fan asked curiously.    

    

Just now, boss Ma had said that if it wasn't a good jade, he wouldn't accept it. Looking at it now, Lin Fan muttered in his heart.    

    

He thought to himself, could it be that Lee Xiaokang had misjudged him? This jade was the kind that wasn't of a high grade?    

    

"It's up to you, pick it up, pick it up?!" Ma Chunlai's jaw almost dropped to the ground.    

    

When the employees in the shop saw the expression on their boss's face, they curiously gathered around and looked into Lin Fan's bag.    

    

When they saw this, they also looked as if they had seen a ghost. All of them covered their mouths in shock, as if they were afraid that something would come out of their mouths.    

    

"No, what kind of expression are you all wearing? Is there a problem with this piece of jade?" Lin Fan asked curiously.    

    

"Come, come, come, sit down and talk." Ma Chunlai no longer had his previous arrogance.    

    

He politely led Lin Fan to the sofa in the shop to welcome the guests. He even personally made Lin Fan a cup of good tea.    

    

"What's your name, little brother?"    

    

"No, my surname is Lin."    

    

"Oh, I think you know me too. My surname is Ma. I am Ma Chunlai, the owner of this Ma's imperial order. "    

    

Lin Fan nodded his head. He could see Ma Chunlai's arrogant attitude. The raw stone in his bag was probably a good piece of jade.    

    

He said, "Boss Ma, I don't know anything about jade, but I heard from my friend that this raw stone is a type of Green Mountain Jade. It must be a good piece of jade, right?"    

    

Ma Chunlai sighed and thought that he had made a mistake today.    

    

He originally thought that he was just an ordinary person and did not have any good stuff in his hands. Who knew that he would give himself such a big surprise? To be more precise, shock was greater than joy.    

    

Not only was the jade in Lin Fan's hand not ordinary, it was also a top grade jade.    

    

Not only Ma Chunlai, even the employees in his shop could see it at a glance.    

    

The staff working in the jade shop... He had a good eye for what good jade was. What is good jade? Basically, he could tell with a glance.    

    

"Brother Lin, how should I put it? Your jade is good, but I can't take it."    

    

"Huh?"
