606: Kowloon Plate

"70 million, full payment upfront!"

Upon hearing Ye Su's offer, the three people present, including Chen Xinyi, all gasped in shock.

Chen Xinyi knew Ye Su was rich, but she hadn't expected him to be wealthy enough to pull out 70 million in cash all at once to buy a villa.

Lin Yuzhen was equally shocked by Ye Su's financial power, and furthermore, she resented why the woman by Ye Su's side was Chen Xinyi and not her.

Zhao Zhengwei's face alternated between pale and livid; he was furious that Ye Su had slashed 5 million off the price right from the start.

Yet, he was also moved by the fact that Ye Su could pay 70 million in cash upfront, which meant he didn't have to sit around waiting for bank mortgage approval, allowing him to get the money immediately to resolve his troubles.

What he lacked most right now was time and cash; the longer the bank approval dragged on, the later he would receive the money, and the bigger his troubles would become.

If he could receive the money immediately, it would absolutely be the best outcome for him.

However, the price Ye Su offered was two million lower than his psychological limit, which left Zhao Zhengwei feeling incredibly conflicted; he was unwilling to sell the villa at that price.

"Mr. Ye, 70 million is truly too low. If you can pay the full purchase price upfront, I can take a step back and sell the villa to you for 72 million. How about that?"

In order to ensure a smooth transaction, Zhao Zhengwei stated his bottom-line price directly.

But Ye Su, who was addicted to haggling, didn't let Zhao Zhengwei off the hook and continued to spar with him over the price.

After a few rounds of haggling, Ye Su actually managed to shave off another 1 million, and in the end, both parties reached a consensus at 71 million.

After signing the contract, Ye Su reached out his hand with satisfaction: "Mr. Zhao, happy to do business with you."

"Happy to do business with you..."

Shaking Ye Su's hand, Zhao Zhengwei felt a complex mix of emotions, swearing that he would never touch the word 'gambling' again in this lifetime.

As for how long this vow would last, only Zhao Zhengwei himself knew.

Taking the 7.1 million deposit Ye Su had paid in advance, Zhao Zhengwei left the villa, dejected.

"Mr. Ye, Ms. Chen, congratulations on securing your dream villa!"

Lin Yuzhen took out her phone and enthusiastically extended it toward Ye Su:

"Let's add each other on social media. If you encounter any issues with the house later, you can contact me to help handle it."

The look in Lin Yuzhen's eyes was as famished as a wolf that hadn't eaten in days seeing a piece of fresh meat; how could Ye Su not know what she was thinking?

Not wanting to invite such trouble, Ye Su immediately gestured with his thumb toward Chen Xinyi:

"This villa is for her. You two can add each other; if there are any issues, she can communicate with you."

"Alright." The smile on Lin Yuzhen's face appeared quite stiff.

Damn it!

A villa worth over 70 million, and it was actually a gift for this woman!

Why can't I meet a man like this!

Chen Xinyi, on the other hand, was deeply moved by Ye Su's action. She happily took out her phone, preparing to open her QR code to add Lin Yuzhen as a friend.

"You two go ahead and add each other; I'll go outside to take a look."

After saying this, Ye Su didn't wait for Chen Xinyi to respond; he walked out of the villa and headed toward the southeast corner of the courtyard:

"The contract is signed, the deposit is paid, and all that's left is the transfer of ownership. Surely I can take out the blue-and-white porcelain buried underneath now, right?"

Muttering to himself, Ye Su opened the system and attempted to activate a skill:

"Spend 9999 yuan to use the [Pluck things from thin air] skill once, and transfer the underground [Intelligence Item - Blue and White Alum Red Dragon Pattern Large Plate] into the system space!"

[Deduction successful, currently transferring the item for the Host...]

The prompt popping up on the system interface made Ye Su secretly rejoice: "It really works!"

[Item successfully transferred to [storage space]. Please open it to view!]

"Done!"

Ye Su switched to the [storage space] page and, sure enough, saw a blue-and-white porcelain piece inside, painted with alum-red fire dragon patterns.

"20 million secured!"

Ye Su calmed his joyful mood, then put on an indifferent expression and returned to Chen Xinyi's side.

"Have you two finished adding each other?"

"Yes."

"Then shall we head back?"

"Okay."

Having even been rejected when trying to add him as a friend, Lin Yuzhen knew her hopes of latching onto this handsome rich man were extremely slim. However, while saying goodbye, she still refused to give up and hinted to Ye Su:

"Mr. Ye, if you have any needs, feel free to contact me at any time."

"Mm."

Ye Su nodded faintly and left the villa with Chen Xinyi.

Back in the car, Chen Xinyi teased:

"Young Master Ye really has such great Charm; I think that female Lin Yuzhen's eyes were practically glued to you just now."

"Can't help it." Ye Su flirtatiously brushed back his bangs: "I've tried my best to hide it, but it just can't be concealed!"

"Give you an inch and you take a mile."

Ye Su smirked and leaned in, teasing Chen Xinyi closely:

"What, isn't that what you think?"

They were long-time partners, so facing Ye Su's teasing, Chen Xinyi felt no shyness at all. Instead, she turned her head and planted a kiss on his lips, as an answer to Ye Su's question.

After some canoodling, Ye Su drove Chen Xinyi back to Apartment Complex.

After entering the house, Ye Su went to the bathroom, locked the door, and took out the blue-and-white porcelain plate he had just obtained from the system space.

The plate was estimated to be about fifty centimeters wide, and its height was roughly the same as Ye Su's little finger.

Apart from the blue-and-white wave patterns inside and outside, the plate also featured four lifelike alum-red fire dragon patterns on each side.

Furthermore, in the center of the plate, a five-clawed true dragon was painted, completing a Nine-Dragon Plate.

On the bottom of the plate, there was a six-character, three-line inscription in regular script: [Made in the Qianlong Era of the Great Qing Dynasty].

"I just bought such a huge villa and it only cost 71 million; now this plate alone can sell for 20 million!"

Rejoicing that there were always people willing to pay for these antiques, allowing him to make another huge profit, Ye Su found a box of roughly the right size in the system space, lined with shock-absorbing padding. He packed the blue-and-white porcelain plate inside and then stored it back into the system space.

...

Past midnight, after a session of anaerobic exercise, Ye Su took out two red dice before going to sleep.

[Host's total intelligence profit yesterday: 22,897,215 yuan!]

Today, Shangwei New Materials' stock price was still gaining momentum, touching the threshold of 99 yuan during trading, setting a new historical high.

Investors were highly enthusiastic, and the trading volume soared like a rocket.

Lin Yichu followed Ye Su's instructions and sold off the stocks in the account in batches, offloading over 200,000 shares in just one day.

With an average cost price of 7.8 yuan, the average selling price was 95 yuan, allowing Ye Su to earn 22.35 million on the Shangwei New Materials stock.

This was also the reason why Ye Su's total intelligence profit yesterday reached over 20 million.

"Finally, another big one!"

Following his usual habit, he first chose the single-digit profit [5] point, and Ye Su threw the first die.

Without any surprise, the die rolled over two meters and then stopped on the [2] point.

"Again, I'm still choosing [5]!"

Ye Su was not discouraged; he blew on the die he was holding before throwing it out with extreme caution.

Da da da—

This time, under Ye Su's gaze, the die rolled next to the other die and came to a steady stop on the [5] point!
