[The Girls' School Teacher] (Episode 26, Chapter 3)

Chapter Three: Sun Zhenyi's Scheme

Of course, the appraisers were only giving a reference price. If these ten exceptionally good semi-rough stones

were sold at that price, every wealthy person present would be willing to buy them all without

batting .

If it weren't for attending this "Unity of All" event, these ten top tycoons probably wouldn't have brought

out their treasured collections, let alone sold them to anyone—am I that short of money?

But even these ten people couldn't have imagined that this "Unity of All" event would be of such a high standard. Any one of these stones

would have easily won first place in previous "Unity of All" events.

These ten top tycoons from various regions were no ordinary people. After the initial shock, a strong

competitive spirit ignited within them: this was just the initial cleaning of the stone; if the entire piece of jade were revealed, who knew who would emerge victorious!

Takahashi Shunsuke's conviction was particularly firm, hence his most frequent smile.

Beneath his smiling exterior, he was most concerned about Baihe and Yusong's rough stones.

It's perfectly normal for anyone to win with these three rough stones in the end, but he firmly believed that as

a Japanese nobleman and owner of a super-large company, his judgment was surely better than yours, a mere teacher. Just imagining

my expression after defeat made Takahashi Shunsuke feel quite satisfied… well, he seemed to have forgotten that

the credit for this rough stone came from his wife, and what he didn't know was that the real hero behind it all was actually the opponent he wanted to

defeat !

Yuri wasn't that competitive. With me by her side, she simply linked arms with me,

leisurely admiring the beautiful jadeite, occasionally listening to my stories about it, her heart filled with joy. Compared to that,

the outcome of the All-People Unity Conference was no longer so important.

Among the ten super-rich, the most composed was Yusong, whose hair was styled in a small braid.

Not just him, but the Aisin Gioro clan? The Puming lineage, including their servants, all wore small braids.

Although not as exaggerated as the pig-braids of the Qing Dynasty, it still signified their adherence to the old dynasty. Yu

Song, in his forties, had a square face. His long-term pampered lifestyle and the aristocratic air cultivated by his family gave him

a more dignified air than the Japanese nobles.

From the moment the ten rough stones were placed on the table, Yu Song sat in his seat,

slowly sipping a glass of red wine, completely ignoring his opponents, displaying his immense confidence.

Influenced by him, a dozen or so businessmen from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia only glanced at the stones before rushing

back to sit beside him. The group chatted and laughed, seemingly unconcerned about the competition.

Those who witnessed this, besides admiring his composure, mostly felt it was only natural—

if your rough stone were a century-old antique, and you immediately declared it a top-grade imperial emerald, you could naturally be just as

calm.

The hour-long appraisal session quickly passed. On the left side of the room, an electronic screen occupying almost the entire

wall displayed the odds given by the appraisers and betting experts.

Oda Okifumi and Asai Yoshimasa both had odds of 1 to 10, Teraguchi Kirimoto had 15 to 1, Jani and Li Lun

had 13 to 1, Sun Zhenyi and Li Zhongjun had 8 to 1, Baihe had 6 to 1, Takahashi Shunsuke had 3 to 1, and

Yusong had 2 to 1.

The experts clearly favored Yusong the most!

However, in reality, what everyone considered most when placing bets wasn't the appearance of the jade's opening, but rather the willingness

to bet on the jade of someone they were on good terms with. Because a few million US dollars wasn't a large sum for them,

supporting old friends with that money was a no-brainer.

With twenty beautiful and charming hotel waitresses working diligently, the betting

was finally completed after half an hour. This was under the condition of accepting card bets; if everyone brought cash, it would have taken at least two or

three hours.

The largest bets were placed on Yu Song's jadeite, with around 50 million US dollars wagered on him. 40 million

was placed on Takahashi Shunsuke, and the same 40 million on Baihe. Oda Okifumi and Asai Yoshimasa each had

around 30 million, Teraguchi Kirimoto 20 million, and Jia Ni, Li Lun, and Li Zhongjun all around 20 million. Surprisingly, Sun Zhenyi had the lowest

bet, barely exceeding 10 million.

Logically, while Sun Zhenyi's jadeite betting performance wasn't the best, it was still above average. Why was he receiving

so little attention?

The reason is simple: Sun Zhenyi is from South Korea but has acquired Japanese citizenship. South Koreans consider him a traitor, and

the Japanese aren't particularly close to him. Neither side supports him, so it's already quite impressive that his friends are supporting him with tens of millions of US dollars

.

The number of bettors and the total amount were displayed after each piece of jadeite, except for the names of the

bettors , everything else was public.

The beautiful waitresses nearby calculated that the total betting amount was around 300 million US dollars. If someone won,

the income would be incredibly substantial.

Of course, the organizers of the betting wouldn't lose money either, because the winners would pay

a 10% commission on the total revenue, used as a cut and for the organization's expenses—at least thirty million US dollars.

But neither the organizers nor the wealthy bettors were the biggest winners.

The biggest winner was one of the ten super-rich individuals. This super-rich winner would not only receive the one million US dollars

attached to bet, but would also receive top-quality jadeite worth at least two or three hundred million US dollars—truly lucky.

At 10:00 AM, after a short break, under the expectant gazes of everyone, the entire venue was cordoned off. Dozens

of jade craftsmen, leading their apprentices and carrying tools, went inside to begin cutting the stones.

The wealthy individuals and their families could only stand outside, holding their breath, watching intently, waiting for the birth of the champion among

the ten rough stones!

Most of the jade craftsmen were people we had seen here before; they were very experienced. But this time, the stone cutting was

different . Each of them chose the most appropriate and slowest method. The only methods used here are manual rubbing and

"bow sawing" to press and polish the stone; a one-cut approach is impossible.

Everyone witnessed Yu Song's composure, so now, during the stone cutting, all ten wealthy individuals remain seated

, quietly awaiting the result. Meanwhile, those who enjoy watching the spectacle and their women gather outside,

eager to get the latest news.

The jade craftsmen are very experienced; they carefully polish along the opening, one by one...

Each time, they would switch to another, a seasoned veteran, ensuring the stone was cut perfectly.

"Wow..."

"Oh..."

Exclamations of surprise rippled through the crowd. The ten wealthy men chatting with friends outside were

tempted to watch, but seeing everyone else remain still, they stayed put.

Of the ten, only Baihe and Yusong truly maintained their composure.

Baihe was without ambition, and Yusong was full of confidence.

Even the elegant and beautiful young woman, Aunt Jing, occasionally craned her swan-like

neck to look towards the center, not to mention the others.

"Hmm, Junxiong... will we lose?"

Baihe asked softly.

"I don't know,"

I answered honestly. "Their jade gambling today exceeded my expectations. We'll see how it goes in the end."

"Hehe..."

Lily reached out and let me hold her smooth, soft hand. "Don't worry, I'm just here to see what it's like.

Anyway , Grandma won't blame me if I lose."

"That's not what I'm unhappy about,"

I said calmly. "Little Lily, your ex-husband's third brother really needs to be taught a lesson!"

"Huh?"

Lily looked up in surprise. "No need... He wasn't that bad..."

Lily was very proud. She wouldn't get angry because of some random person's sarcasm. In her opinion, only

the people she cared about were worth paying attention to... A random person? He was already a random person. Could he possibly leave

a ?

I shook my head and said, "I don't think so. Since Mr. Teraguchi Kirimoto is here, I'll ask him for help!"

When we were appraising the jade, Teraguchi Kirimoto had come over to greet me. He and his wife, Teraguchi Akane

, were incredibly welcoming to me, patting their chests and insisting that I visit Shikoku sometime,

promising to treat me with the most lavish hospitality of the Teraguchi family.

Teraguchi Akane is petite and beautiful, and Koharu is similar in build to her, though Koharu is also very outgoing and

poised , possessing the air of a wealthy lady.

The reason they were so friendly was, of course, that Koharu, seemingly as docile and adorable as a doll, was

actually incredibly mischievous. Now, under my tutelage, she not only studies diligently but also does some

housework when she goes home for holidays. This greatly pleased the Teraguchi couple, who were worried their daughter would become a wild horse, and they wished I could continue to guide

Koharu for a few more years so she could truly grow up.

I thought to myself, if my in-laws knew that my doll-like, beautiful young wife had been transformed into a

real, beautiful young woman, would they turn their gratitude into anger and come after me with a butcher's knife?

When the Teraguchi couple came over, Yuri was beside me; she also knew them and received many blessings from Teraguchi Kirimoto

and Teraguchi Akane.

However, Yuri knew about Xiaochun's relationship with me. Seeing the Teraguchi couple, she was more

jealous of their daughter, thinking, "I haven't even had a chance to be intimate with Junxiong yet, and your daughter Xiaochun has received his

favors countless times. She's not a good girl at all..." Now, hearing me mention asking Teraguchi Kirimoto for help, the stunningly beautiful young woman

instantly became sour: "How can you act like a gangster, always shouting for violence? You can't do that!

If you're so capable, go and beat him up yourself! Don't ask others for help..."

When the Teraguchi couple came over for a chat earlier, I could already tell she wasn't in high spirits, and there was a hint of resentment. Being clever ,

I naturally knew that seeing the Teraguchi couple reminded her of my several concubines.

No matter how gentle and generous Yuri was, she wouldn't be so gentle and generous as to watch her future man have so many

beautiful young wives.

What worried her was that Xiaochun and Eri were six or seven years younger than her, possessing more youth and

vitality . It was conceivable that they were also bolder than her; it seemed every man preferred younger

girls. What if Junxiong prefers them more and neglects her in the future? Wouldn't that make her very sad? Before

Baihe could finish her resentful thoughts, I put my arm around her slender waist: "Little Baihe,

is your bottom itching again? You're jealous of children? Don't you know how much I drool over you? If you hadn't been so protective

, I would have eaten you up today and made you unable to get out of bed every day."

The beautiful young woman, who had already been married, understood what "unable to get out of bed" meant. Her heart

melted instantly, and she could only glare at me resentfully without saying a word.

"Mr. Liu."

Unbeknownst to her, a person walked up from the side. It was Sun Zhenyi.

At the last jade auction, Sun Zhenyi didn't think much of me, but this time when he came,

he had a simple and honest smile on his face.

I wouldn't think he was simple and honest just because of that. To survive in such a complex environment and become a top-notch

tycoon, Sun Zhenyi had abilities and patience that ordinary people couldn't match. Many South Korean and Japanese businessmen didn't

like him, but no one dared to underestimate him.

Behind Sun Zhenyi stood his personal South Korean beauty connoisseur, Song Youzhen. However, Song Youzhen didn't sit down opposite

Sun Zhenyi ; instead, she maintained her usual elegance and aloofness, standing behind the sofa, her eyes gently glancing at

us.

"Hehe, it's been a while since we last met, I didn't expect to run into Mr. Liu again

," Sun Zhenyi said with a smile. "I just heard a few days ago that Mr. Liu led Sony's Nordic branch to create

a sales miracle for PS II, and the whole of Japan is talking about your business acumen!"

The whole of Japan?

I hadn't publicized my trip to Nordic countries with two beautiful female students at all, so Sun

Zhenyi

's quick access to the news clearly showed he had put in considerable effort. I must say, such flattery from Sun Zhenyi would have made most people giddy, but for someone with

my calm and collected mind, a little praise wasn't anything to be excited about.

"Mr. Sun, you're too kind."

I subtly changed the subject. "Mr. Sun, you must be very confident about today's jade gambling, right?"

"Haha, you're really covering for me."

Sun Zhenyi laughed dismissively. "Before coming here, I felt very confident, but after seeing Miss Baihe's, Mr.

Gaoqiao 's, and Mr. Yusong's, I realized I was just a frog in a well. It's also my own fault for not listening to Miss Song's

advice to go to Myanmar to select jade, and only going to Guangdong, China."

Seeing this, Baihe smiled, "I was lucky; with Mr. Liu's help, I didn't lose too badly. I

also think the winner should be either Mr. Takahashi or Mr. Yusong."

Sun Zhenyi smiled in agreement. He could see that Baihe was genuinely nonchalant and didn't care about

winning .

On the contrary, although Sun Zhenyi said this, he was still somewhat disappointed. What

he cared about wasn't the huge bet worth hundreds of millions of US dollars, but the lost

opportunity .

Imagine if Sun Zhenyi had won the competition; just having these ten pieces of jade displayed in his home would surely attract many visitors

. Besides appreciating the jade, they would naturally become closer to Sun Zhenyi, thus achieving his

goal of integrating more into Japanese society.

"He might not necessarily lose,"

the elegant and beautiful appraiser behind Sun Zhenyi said coolly at that moment.

"Oh?"

Lily exclaimed in surprise, then smiled slightly. "Miss Song, forgive my poor eyesight,

but although Mr. Sun's rough stones are very good, how could they possibly compare to the Red Jadeite Imperial Heart and the Imperial Top-Grade Emerald?" "

And they can't compare to my 'Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity' auspicious symbol of wealth and good fortune."

The beautiful young woman added to herself.

"It's different

now." Song Youzhen gently shook her head and said, "It's not like the old days

when

people preferred tradition. A hundred years ago, if white jadeite appeared, even glass-type jadeite would be thrown on the ground. But now? White jadeite is very popular among young people, and it even fetches a better price than emeralds and red jadeite of the same material. This

shows that people's tastes are more diverse."

"Putting aside other things, just look at Miss Jingyi's rough stone. If it turns out to be a 'five-color wonder,'

even 'red jadeite of imperial heart' and 'imperial emerald of the highest grade' can't be guaranteed to beat you. If it's the 'king of

seven colors ,' no matter how amazing red jadeite and green jadeite are, in today's aesthetic and value system, a single color can't

beat seven colors."

The young girl was not old, and she looked delicate and elegant. Unexpectedly, when she spoke, her words were unusually straightforward yet

logical, making people have to believe her.

"Hehe, I'd be lucky if my piece yielded a 'Big Four Joys' (a type of jadeite), how could I dare to hope for a five- or

seven-colored ?"

Baihe smiled softly, her charming young womanly allure captivating Sun Zhenyi's gaze.

After a pause, the stunningly beautiful young woman asked curiously, "Miss Song, from what you're saying, you think

the rough stone you chose has a good chance?"

"Yes!"

Song Youzhen answered calmly and firmly, "A few years ago, I saw a rough stone similar to this one. The jadeite

inside , when placed in water, turned the water a vibrant green. Even emeralds

can't change the color of water when placed in it. So, in my opinion, if we can get this kind of jadeite, it's possible to turn defeat into victory."

"Jadeite that can turn water green?"

Baihe was greatly surprised. "How come I've never heard of such jadeite?"

It's common knowledge that high-grade jadeite is indeed bright and pure in color, but I've never heard of it being able to make water turn

the same color. Isn't that a bit like a chameleon?

"It was a coincidence. It appeared at our South Korean jade gambling convention, and it

was immediately collected by Mr. Lee of Samsung at a high price after being polished. Only those of us present at the time were fortunate enough to see it,"

Song Youzhen said gently. "The jade I selected this time is somewhat similar to

that one the color of the jade at the cut is similar. So, whether it's good or not, we'll have to wait until it's completely cut open

to see."

"Heh, then I hope Miss Song's prediction is correct. I'm also looking forward to admiring this wonderful jade,"

Baihe said, looking at the South Korean beauty. She now admired this girl, feeling that she was

somewhat —delicate and beautiful on the outside, but very strong and confident on the inside.

"Okay!"

Song Youzhen nodded in reply. She knew Baihe's identity before she came and originally thought that Baihe would be arrogant and look down on

people, but she didn't expect her to be so approachable, which made the South Korean beauty develop a good impression of Baihe.

"Ms. Lily, I've wanted to visit you for a long time, but I haven't had the chance. I wonder if I

could to discuss some things?"

Seeing Lily and Song Youzhen chatting happily, Sun Zhenyi seized the opportunity to ask.

Lily was slightly taken aback, but then she understood. Perhaps this was Sun Zhenyi's real purpose in coming.

Recently, because of her success in love, Lily, who had previously been too lazy to deal with family company affairs, had put

a lot of effort into business. She also knew that Sun Zhenyi's Softbank company was currently competing with Kyocera's newly

established "Aukk," both of which wanted to acquire the telecommunications giant KDD.

Speaking of Kyocera, the ceramics factory founded by Kazuo Inamori in Kyoto, Japan,

it has grown rapidly in just a few decades, with two Fortune 500 companies under its umbrella, not to mention its more than 200 subsidiaries

.

With the shift in materials used in electronics from metals to technical ceramics,

Kyocera Corporation, whose main business focuses on telecommunications services—including various computer and telephone processor hardware and office equipment—became

the world's leading manufacturer of technical ceramics, achieving a return on capital exceeding that of many long-established Japanese companies.

Leveraging its technological advantages, Kyocera ventured into telephone network services as early as 1985, and in 1989

founded DDI, Japan's second-largest mobile communications group after Docomo.

The newly established AU Corporation is also eyeing Japan's rapidly expanding mobile phone business.

DDI recently acquired ID, one of Japan's three major mobile phone operators, forming

KDDDI.

However, within KDDDI, DDI does not represent Kyocera Corporation's sole dominance; ID... Kyocera also possesses

substantial financial strength and the dispersed rights of other shareholders, which is why it established AU Corporation, aiming to

acquire KDD again through AU and gain absolute control over KDD's business.

Sun Zhenyi has been actively lobbying to involve Softbank in this merger plan

, allowing Softbank to expand its mobile phone business and

secure a significant share of the profits from the upcoming CDMA wealth boom.

Compared to Sun Zhenyi, Kyocera Corporation is like an elephant compared to a wild boar. Not to mention the insignificant

Sun Zhenyi , even the giants of the Japanese financial world wouldn't want to provoke this increasingly promising

company.

However, dealing with Sun Zhenyi won't be easy for Kyocera.

The reason is simple: Kyocera is a large and powerful company with many resources spread across various sectors.

Earning substantial profits through technical ceramics in corporate, personal computer, and other office equipment applications has been Kyocera's main focus in recent

years . While they desire a share of the Japanese domestic mobile phone market, they aren't

desperately trying to capture it.

Sun Zhenyi, on the other hand, has poured all his energy and capital into Softbank, displaying a "do-or-die" spirit reminiscent of

the ancient . Therefore, the outcome remains to be seen.

Kyocera Corporation, located in Kansai, is one of the key decision-makers of the Sanwa Group. However, the Sanwa

Group ; the Mitsubishi Group, to which the Yuri family belongs, is an even larger entity with

influence in Kansai comparable to Kyocera.

If Yuri supports Sun Zhenyi, it would undoubtedly be a significant boost to his success.

However, even the most beautiful young woman wouldn't rashly support Sun Zhenyi. She didn't want to clash head-on with Kyocera

.

Seeing Yuri's hesitation, Sun Zhenyi smiled: "Miss Yuri, please rest assured, I will absolutely not put you

in a difficult position . You just need to listen to my plan, and whether you're willing to participate is entirely up to you. However

, I also believe that once you participate, incredibly substantial profits will be yours."

Yuri pondered for a moment, then said gently, "Alright, I'll wait for you at the Tokyo branch tomorrow afternoon.

Mr. Sun knows the place, right?"

"Yes, yes,"

Sun Zhenyi replied with a smile, secretly relieved that there had finally been some progress.

He had a reason for asking Baihe to intervene. Baihe's SOG. introduced Walmart to Japan, and

Walmart's huge success there led to SOG., including Baihe's family, facing

criticism and dissatisfaction from the Japanese retail industry.

He believed that if he lent Baihe a hand and gave her a large business deal, the beleaguered Baihe

would support him and help him out of his predicament.

But would things really be that simple?

Sun Zhenyi didn't have time to think further before a gasp of surprise from the audience interrupted his thoughts.
