“Back then, I was able to rely on a few thousand yuan and slowly accumulate it bit by bit. Now, I can too. The worst-case scenario is to return to the initial state and start all over again. There’s nothing to be afraid of!”

Luo Yang’s words made Lin Bai admire his courage.

To start all over again sounded simple, but in reality, not many people could really do it.

Luo Yang’s courage and his trust in Lin Bai made Lin Bai feel that such a friend was very rare, and he definitely could not let him down.

“Don’t worry, since you trust me so much, I definitely won’t let you lose money.”

“If we make a profit from buying this material, then we’ll split the money according to the ratio.”

“If we lose, it’s all on me,” Lin Bai said.

Although Lin Bai knew in his heart that the information provided by the Future News app would definitely not be wrong, he nevertheless said so. 

The material in front of him would definitely be a top-grade emperor green after it was cut open.

Unless he couldn’t buy it, otherwise as long as he bought it, it would definitely be a huge profit.

However, Lin Bai felt that he had to express his attitude and give Luo Yang some reassurance in advance.

However, what Lin Bai didn’t expect was that Luo Yang actually rejected it.

“No, no, no, Boss. Our relationship is just a relationship, and our business is just business. Since we’re going to split the earnings, I definitely can’t let you bear the losses alone. We’ll do whatever we have to do. Even if we lose everything, I can still bear this result.”

Luo Yang’s attitude made Lin Bai admire him even more.

Just based on his attitude that he would never take advantage of his friendship, Lin Bai felt that he had befriended the right person.

“Alright, since you’ve said so, I’ll respect your choice.”

“Regardless of whether we lose or gain in the end, we’ll split it proportionately.”

Lin Bai said.

Luo Yang nodded heavily. “Okay!”

He had already mentally prepared himself for the worst.

Lin Bai continued to fill in the bid form. In the bid amount column, he had initially written 300 million.

However, after he finished writing, he thought about it. This method of bidding was different from an auction. It did not mean that whoever shouted the price first would get it.

The jadeite public emporium used the method of secret bidding. If Lin Bai could bid this price, the others could do the same.

When the bid was finally opened, there was no way to distinguish who was first and who was second.

Then, with the same bid amount, who could win the bid in the end, would be a problem.

The bidding instructions manual issued by the staff did not mention how to deal with this situation.

Lin Bai did not have any relevant experience, so after thinking about it, he still felt that it was better not to take the risk.

Since the news clearly stated that the winning bid, which was placed by the young boss, was 300 million yuan.

So what if he had a little more than him?

With this thought in mind, Lin Bai tore up the half-filled bid form and threw it away. He took out a blank bid form and filled it out again.

This time, he filled in the bid amount of 300 million and 1 yuan.

One more yuan was enough for him to secure this piece of material, so there was no need to increase the bid further.

Although Lin Bai was very rich now, his money did not grow on trees, so he did not want to waste it on unnecessary things.

Luo Yang watched Lin Bai’s operation from the side and was completely dumbfounded.

“Boss, you deliberately rewrote it just to add one more yuan?”

“What kind of move is this? I really don’t understand.”

Luo Yang displayed his studious spirit and asked if he didn’t understand.

“About that…”

Lin Bai hesitated for a moment, then smiled wickedly and said the two words from before again.

“Intuition. Intuition tells me that adding a little more is safer.”

Luo Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Boss, can you change the reason?”

Lin Bai nodded and said seriously, “Well then, it’s my sixth sense.”

Luo Yang:”…”

What was the difference between intuition and his sixth sense?

Wasn’t it the same!?!

This time, Luo Yang didn’t ask. He knew that even if he asked, he wouldn’t be able to get any answers.

He guessed that Lin Bai couldn’t explain why he did it, so he could only attribute it to intuition.

Luo Yang thought about it. When he had been trading cryptocurrency previously, he had experienced a similar situation.

He had suddenly decided to buy or sell it. If others asked him why he actually couldn’t give a specific reason. He just felt that he should do it.

And the final facts proved that his judgments were correct. They could allow him to make money or avoid losses.

Thinking of this, Luo Yang felt relieved.

Perhaps most of the time, he really relied on his intuition to make decisions.

Although Luo Yang understood Lin Bai’s actions, the spectators at the side still felt that Lin Bai’s behavior was very strange.

Although they couldn’t see how much money Lin Bai had written on the bid form, they could still tell from what Luo Yang said that Lin Bai had specially filled out a new bid form just to raise the price by one yuan.

Initially, Lin Bai had used his so-called intuition to bid hundreds of millions of dollars for this raw material. This was already the behavior of a fool in the eyes of everyone.

Now, he had specially raised the bid by one yuan. In their eyes, he was an absolute dimwit. 

They were completely in no mood to bid. They all took out their phones and sent messages to their friends.

“Let me tell you a joke. I just saw a fool at the public emporium who specially rewrote the bid form just to raise the bid by one yuan. The reason was that his intuition told him that if he added it, he would be more confident. Don’t you think it’s funny?”

“Do you still remember that two-ton raw material without any cuts? A fool made a bid for it and the best part is that after he made the bid, he purposely added another yuan. It’s so stupid that it’s crazy!”

“Hey, let me tell you. I met a fool at the public emporium today.”

…

The messages sent by the viewers were more or less the same. They were basically mocking Lin Bai’s foolish behavior.

There were even people who secretly took photos of Lin Bai’s appearance and sent them to the group chat to mock him.

“Let’s watch a fool together! This is the silly person I was talking about just now!”

“He’s so young. No wonder he could do such a thing.”

“Hehehe, children who haven’t been beaten up by the market are really naive.”

“It’s true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.”

“There will be some crying when the stone is cut open.”

“I’d rather see how he’ll cry after the stone is cut open.”

…

The group chat was filled with mockery directed at Lin Bai.

No one believed that Lin Bai could make money.

Lin Bai had been concentrating on filling out the bid form. After filling it out, he checked it several times, afraid that there would be any mistakes or omissions that would cause the bid to be void.

Therefore, he did not have the spare time to observe the expressions on the faces of the surrounding spectators.

But Luo Yang saw them all.

He lowered his voice and said, “Boss, those people seem to be taking pictures of you..”
