Chapter 124 Who is the most ignorant 1

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.

This was his first time partic.i.p.ating in a trade fair like this, so he couldn't help but feel excited. Anyone who had a sharp eye that could see through stone and encountered such an opportunity would not be able to remain completely calm.

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.

If he met a rock that might drop jade, he would carefully inspect it with a magnifying gla.s.s, and then negotiate the price with the owner of the ore.

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.

According to Ji Feng's understanding, if the ore they bought was from an emerald and its value was higher than the ore itself, it meant that the bet had risen. On the other hand, it meant that the bet had failed.

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.

Ji Feng was stunned. These two people were Hu Xuehui's sister and brother-in-law.

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.

Ji Feng's brows creased. He could smell the scent of alcohol in the air. It was obvious that this man was still hungover.

”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!”

By now, Ji Feng already had an extraordinary demeanor. The moment his face darkened, a sense of majesty was immediately revealed, causing the man to be startled. He looked at Ji Feng for a long while, but didn't dare to say anything.
