Chapter 124

After the exhibition, the trading fair finally arrived as scheduled. Ji Feng arrived at the trading fair's entrance with a shoulder bag full of funds.

The trade fair and exhibition were not held in the same place. The exhibition was held in the center of Jiangzhou City. The exhibition center was built like a palace, and it left a deep impression on Ji Feng.

However, the trade fair was different. They were all jadeite ores, and there were even large stones weighing several tons. If they were placed in the exhibition center, it would definitely not be appropriate. As such, the trade fair was held in a large warehouse in the outskirts of the academy city.

Of course, a three-meter-high wall had been built around the warehouse. There were also quite a number of security guards, which meant that the place was now safe. In fact, everyone knew that other than those ores that were too small in size, the majority of the ores had a considerable amount of weight. It was just too difficult to steal from them.

Even so, Ji Feng was not able to find the location in time. After all, it was considered a suburb, so Ji Feng had no choice but to call a taxi.

They arrived outside the warehouse at around 9 in the morning. At this moment, there were already a lot of people looking back and forth at the ores placed in the yard.

Amongst them, many of them were working in groups of twos and threes. There were even some who were holding a magnifying gla.s.s in their hands, as if they were carefully observing the ore.

Actually, the so called ore trade was a huge gamble, which was also what industry insiders called a rock gambling house.

If a piece of ore showed some good qualities, perhaps he would be able to win the bet. However, for those stones that did not have any strange phenomenon, if he wanted to buy one piece of ore, it would truly be a gamble.

It was said that until now, there was no instrument that could detect whether or not there were any jades inside the stone. Thus, just by relying on one's eyesight and experience, it was obviously not a safe bet. Furthermore, it also required a certain amount of luck, which was no different from gambling.

However, Ji Feng appeared to be as calm as ever. He wore a short-sleeved T-s.h.i.+rt, jeans, casual shoes, and a sports watch. He carried a bag on his shoulder. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary student.

This was what Ji Feng wanted as well. He didn't want anyone to notice him. At the very least, he couldn't allow anyone to notice his actions. Otherwise, he might attract some trouble.

In order to prevent others from seeing that he was a layman, Ji Feng looked at the yard full of ores. He did not rush to go and check, but instead secretly paid attention to the movements of others.

Ji Feng noticed that there were many boss like people in the yard. They were all leading a few subordinates, leisurely inspecting the ore. Most of the time, it was one or two of his subordinates who were a little older. First, they circled around the Jadeite Ore Stone to check out the general situation.

Looking at the few people who did this, Ji Feng suddenly realized that these people who were responsible for looking at the ores should be experts invited by the bosses, or people with more experience in this area.

These bosses obviously didn't want to lose, so they brought these experienced people with them.

Upon seeing this, Ji Feng could not help but secretly sigh in relief. Luckily, he did not rush to look at the ore. Otherwise, others would be able to tell that he was an amateur at a glance.

Ji Feng immediately turned around and walked out of the trading center's courtyard. When he entered, he remembered that there seemed to be someone selling magnifying gla.s.ses at the entrance. Even if they wanted to pretend, they had to act a bit like it.

However, Ji Feng bought a magnifying gla.s.s, and just as he returned to the entrance, he suddenly discovered a fat figure charging towards him. Ji Feng's reaction was very fast, so he suddenly took a step back and dodged to the side.

"Bam!"

The fat figure dodged and staggered. After swaying a few times, he finally managed to stabilize his body.

"Hubby, are you alright?" A coquettish voice suddenly sounded from the side, immediately followed by a red-haired woman who quickly walked over and supported the fat figure.

He immediately turned his gaze to the side, just in time to see Hu Xue Hui, who was also stunned.

"That's true... The enemy's path is narrow! " This thought appeared in Ji Feng's mind. He glanced at Hu Xue Hui as if he was looking at a stranger. Then, he walked into the yard.

"Brat, stop right there!" Hu Xuehui's brother-in-law bellowed in anger. He walked up to Ji Feng in a few steps and blocked his path.

"Brat, why didn't you support me just now? "F * ck, if laozi falls down, you have to take responsibility!" Hu Xue Hui, the chubby brother-in-law cursed.

Ji Feng's face darkened, "Try cursing again!"

"Humph!"

"F * ck!"

It was only when Ji Feng left that Hu Xuehui's brother-in-law finally reacted. He felt a sense of shame when he thought about how he was frightened by Ji Feng's gaze.

"d.a.m.ned brat, if you dare to provoke me, Wu Changge, then you're dead for sure!" The fat man, Wu Changqun, couldn't help but curse in embarra.s.sment and anger.

"Hubby, that person just now seems a little familiar. Have we met him somewhere before?" Hu Xue Hui's sister asked in confusion.

"Elder sister, brother-in-law, that person was Ji Feng!" Hu Xue Hui asked.

"What?!"

Hu Xuehui's sister immediately shouted, "Is that the poor guy? How dare he talk to your brother-in-law like that? "

Hu Xue Hui, on the other hand, had a thoughtful look in his eyes. The power that Ji Feng had just displayed was truly impressive!

In the blink of an eye, Hu Xue Hui shook his head disdainfully. No matter how strong his aura was, he could not be treated as a meal. The most important thing was to have money.

It was just like how he himself didn't even need to partic.i.p.ate in the military training because his brother-in-law was rich, while the other students were still bitterly laughing and being lectured!

Without giving it much thought, Hu Xuehui followed her sister and her husband into the fair.

What happened just now did not affect Ji Feng much. At this moment, he was holding a magnifying gla.s.s in his hand as he carefully examined a piece of ore. In reality, his gaze had long since penetrated through the magnifying gla.s.s and the stone's outer skin and was able to see the inside.

Ji Feng shook his head. There was only a green mist within the stone. The stone had been dug out too early, and there was no jadeite inside.

Ji Feng's face remained impa.s.sive as well. He turned to look at the other stones.

There were more than a hundred such stalls in the yard, and the area of the yard was also very large, so Ji Feng couldn't look at them one by one. He only asked the intellectual brain to activate the bioelectric current and arrived at a stall, scanning through it first, only when there were some rocks worth noticing did he seriously look at them.

"Boss, how much is this ore?" Ji Feng pointed at the half-man tall ore in front of him. There was a thin layer of green mist surrounding the ore. It looked pretty good, but Ji Feng knew that there was nothing inside. In reality, what he had his eyes on was the millstone-sized ore beside him.

Although he had never been in business before, Ji Feng knew that the more he thought about a piece of ore, the more he couldn't show it to the owner. Otherwise, the boss would demand a sky-high price for it!

Ji Feng naturally understood what he meant. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to afford it.

"Seven hundred thousand!" Seeing that Ji Feng was unwilling to give up, the boss shook his head and smiled.

Ji Feng was speechless. The money he had on him was not even a tenth of this price.

"I really can't afford it!" Ji Feng was somewhat dejected but also somewhat unwilling to give up. He pointed to the smaller piece of ore beside him. "What about this piece of ore?"

"Boss, isn't this too expensive?" "Just now, that ore gave out jade. It's not too excessive for you to ask for seven hundred thousand, but this piece is nothing at all. It's too much of a gamble, and you still want a hundred and thirty thousand?" Ji Feng started to argue.

"I say, little brother, are you going to buy or not? If you aren't going to buy, then don't cause trouble, alright?" The boss didn't even bother to argue with Ji Feng.

Just as Ji Feng was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang out from the side, "Boss, he's just a poor kid. Usually, our family lives off vegetables, so how can he afford it?"

Ji Feng frowned. Without even turning his head around, he knew who the speaker was.
