It's already 2026, how can we still talk about having many children and having many blessings?

Chen Mo glanced at Lu Jie, then squatted down and began rummaging through the hood material.

This is the main event of today.

The price of raw materials is cheap, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand yuan per piece, depending entirely on luck and experience.

He used his X-ray vision to pick out the items with goods and throw them into the cart.

There are sixty-five pieces in total, of various sizes.

"Mr. Chen, are all of these stocks likely to rise sharply?" Lu Jie asked, leaning closer.

"I'm not a god, how can I make everyone's money soar?" Chen Mo dusted off his hands. "I could tell those who opened windows earlier, but these can only be identified by experience and luck, but they shouldn't lose money."

"I see." Lu Jie nodded. "Mr. Chen is really amazing. He can win big with just a small window. You must have found the cut pieces in Zone A very easy to spot, right?"

Chen Mo glanced at her and smiled.

"So I just glanced around over there, but I already got a general idea. I'll go back later and study the key points in detail."

"Wow, Mr. Chen is truly a master."

Chen Mo's lips curled slightly.

Ha, you've finally completely believed it?

Let's see who screws over whom.

He pushed the sixty-five pieces of material to the pre-rented logistics warehouse, and told Gu Qingyao and Yu Linglong to wait outside.

Close the door.

With a thought, five of the blindfolded materials disappeared from the cart and entered the three-dimensional space.

Those five pieces are the real good stuff.

It looks unremarkable on the outside, but every piece inside is high-quality, with a total value of tens of millions.

The remaining sixty pieces are also materials that can appreciate in value, but the increase won't be as significant.

He pushed open the door, his expression unchanged.

"Let's go back to Area A."

Back in Area A, Chen Mo became serious.

He needed to convince Lu Jie that he was a professional.

He took out a yellow flashlight, walked to a piece of material, squatted down, carefully examined the cut surface, and touched the texture with his fingertips.

"This piece is from the Da Ma Kan mine."

"The jade has a yellow salt-sand skin, with pine flower patterns on the cut surface and tightly wrapped python veins. The jade inside should be between glutinous ice and ice, with a bluish-green color. It can be made into a bracelet."

He stood up and walked to a piece of material next to him.

"This Moxi Sha jade has a black wusha skin and a narrow color band on the cut surface. It's a gamble; the color might break off or spread further in. The starting price is six million. Whether it's worth it depends on your courage."

Gu Qingyao stood to the side, while Yu Linglong and Luo Na listened intently.

Lu Jie couldn't understand, but she became even more convinced that Chen Mo was a master.

Several middle-aged men nearby also gathered around, and after listening, they looked at each other.

"Young man, you're quite the expert! Which master did you study under? And where do you work?"

Chen Mo glanced at the top of their heads.

[Is this Chen Mo, whom Zhou Limin specifically targeted? He's got real skills; he deserves our attention.]

Huh? Targeting me?

Wow, not only did they arrange for Lu Jie to be by their side, but they also arranged for some industry bigwigs to keep an eye on them?

Qin Tianping is indeed remarkable.

But how are they going to target him?

He found out very quickly.

The group of people didn't leave; instead, they followed him, strolling around and discussing things.

When they came to a popular piece of material, they would stop and analyze it, one after another.

"This piece is performing well, with a full green cut. The starting price is ten million, but I think it would cost at least twenty-five million to win the bid."

"Twenty-five million isn't enough, I'd say thirty million."

"Even 30 million is a stretch; there are many people eyeing this level of material."

Chen Mo listened, a cold smile playing on his lips.

These people are indeed experts in the industry, but they deliberately exaggerate what they say.

If he didn't have X-ray vision, he would likely have been influenced by them.

They will push his offer up to an outrageous level.

Even if he wins, the premium will be too high, and he won't make any money.

If he doesn't follow suit, the good materials will be snatched away by them.

But what they didn't know was that he had X-ray vision.

Half of the materials they touted as amazing were actually flawed inside.

They didn't mention the really good materials much.

Chen Mo acted alongside them for nearly an hour.

He carefully examined and analyzed each piece of material, looking at them with admiration.

After the performance was almost over and the experts left, Chen Mo wiped his hands.

"Secretary Lu, take out your notebook. I'm telling you, write this down."

"Okay, Mr. Chen." A hint of joy flashed in Lu Jie's eyes.

Chen Mo stopped in front of a piece of material.

"This piece, number 037, is from the Da Ma Kan mine... The interior may be of icy, bright green color. The starting price is 1000 million, and it's worth considering between 1500 million and 2200 million."

Lu Jie wrote it down.

Chen Mo then moved on to the next spot.

"This piece, number 118, is from Mowanji, with a black wusha skin. It has a moderate gamble potential; once it rises, it will be a huge increase. The starting price is 800 million. To win the bid, you need to be aggressive and offer between 1300 million and 1600 million."

Lu Jie wrote it down again.

Next, he quoted more than thirty pieces of material, each of which was a popular item with an excellent appearance.

The asking prices ranged from several million to tens of millions, and his suggested bids were between 1.5 and 2 times the asking price.

It seems reasonable.

Lu Jie remembered that her hands were sore, but her expression became more and more relaxed.

We've finally obtained the crucial information.

Chen Mo glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He didn't plan to invest in any of those thirty-odd pieces of material.

It looks good on the outside, but it's completely broken inside.

Whoever buys it will lose money.

The materials he truly desired were scattered throughout the sealed-bid area; they were unremarkable in appearance, cheaply priced, and went unnoticed.

Among them, more than a dozen pieces are expected to appreciate significantly, and three pieces are guaranteed to make you rich overnight, such as those numbered 205, 309, and 412...

Especially that piece of material worth 300 million at the entrance, it can earn at least several hundred million.

As for the top bidder, hehe, he hasn't asked Lu Jie to write it yet, but he plans to talk to Lu Jie again tonight and offer 15.1 billion.

Because he had already heard what those experts were thinking when he discussed it with them earlier.

They all agreed that they could still make a profit of 1.5 billion.

But to win this kind of top bid, you have to be willing to bid high, otherwise you won't get a chance.

Therefore, 15.1 billion is a reasonable price.

Next, we continued browsing, actually looking at the words above the heads of those big shots.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses stared at the piece of material number 088, thinking to himself, "At most 800 million"; another fat man estimated in front of piece number 105, "5000 million should be enough."

He saw everyone's bottom price.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

Damn it, I thought I was rich, but it turns out I'm actually poor.

Are they all so willing to push prices up?

However, these are all for relieving discomfort; if you don't rinse your mouth, someone else will, and you won't get any.

He also saw the bottom line of Qin Shi, Zhou Limin, Meng Hongliang, and their group, as well as what they wanted to do.

To be honest, if he didn't have X-ray vision and mind-reading abilities, he might have really left Gu Qingyao with nothing or even bankrupt.

But now... he wants them to lose everything.

By the time we finished shopping, it was already evening.

The public auction will last for three days: today we inspect the materials, tomorrow we submit bids, and the day after tomorrow the bids will be opened.

After dinner, we returned to the hotel.

With a solemn expression, he asked Lu Jie to help him write the bid list. The number one bidder was 15.1 billion.

Gu Qingyao suddenly stood up, her face grave. "Chen Mo, are you sure? Most of our funds are going towards this top bid?"

"It's confirmed. This will be a huge profit, enough to feed Shengheng for several years. This is something I've discussed with the experts."

"Okay, I believe you."

Next, Chen Mo wrote more than a hundred bids, not only arranging 25 billion yuan for Shengheng, but also arranging 2.9 million yuan for his own funds.

He was letting Lu Jie know that he had already arranged all the money and would not be bidding on any other projects.

But he won't bid on any of these bids.

As for whether the Qin family will follow up on the order, he cannot guarantee that.

"Alright, that's enough. We should be able to win half of them, which is not bad. Secretary Lu, keep these bids safe. I'll come and put them down myself tomorrow."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Lu Jie took the bid form and left. Back in her room, she immediately took a picture and sent it over.

"Lu Jie, well done. I will fulfill my promise to you as soon as we return to Ningcheng."
