I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 30
Seeing that Oliver was not interested in these treasures, Joshua had no patience and casually ordered Fabian to take them to
see the scraps outside. Then, Joshua found an excuse and got busy with something else.
Joshua was not interested in selling scraps because the profit wasn’t great. He could only earn more if he sold more.
Fabian was also lacking in interest since he wouldn’t get many benefits from selling scraps. Thus, he merely planned to bring
Oliver to take a quick glance at the scraps before bringing Oliver to the next boss’ place.
Joshua’s courtyard was at least 100 thousand square feet, and dozens of piles of raw stone were piled up like mountains.
Oliver and Hailey were stunned by the scene!
There were at least 90,000 raw stones in that area. If they had to look through the raw stones one by one, they would have to
spend infinite time there.
Oliver hesitated for a moment and started to stare at the stone. He thought, “Forget it. I’ll just identify them as much as I can. I
might pick up a good deal if I can identify something, but I certainly won’t get anything if I never start looking.”
Oliver spent three seconds on one raw stone. He only looked at the information to see if the raw stone was valuable. If not, he
would directly go to the next one.
In this way, he could basically identify a raw stone in 3 seconds, 20 raw stones in 1 minute, 200 raw stones in 10 minutes, and
600 raw stones in half an hour.
After only a few minutes, Oliver really picked out two raw stones. They were not big, and the sizes were similar to a small bowl,
but they were all jadeites worth around 50, 000 dollars.
Around 50, 000 dollars was considered a small amount to Oliver and Hailey. But even a small profit was worth considering, and it
was better to earn something than not earn anything at all.
Even someone who considered themselves an expert in stone gambling would still suffer losses, as they would usually choose
stones with a good outer appearance. Especially old mine materials from official auctions. Then, they would lose money from
that.

It was cheap to buy a stone from scraps. As long as one was lucky enough to get that stone, one was guaranteed to make
money. So it really depended on one’s luck to strike a generous bargain.
Experience and observant skills were nothing.
Of course, Oliver’s skill was an exception. He might be the only person in the world who had that skill.
Seeing that Oliver really picked out a few pieces of stone, Fabian couldn’t urge Oliver to leave. Fabian thought, “But the raw
stones here are all calculated by the ton. How am I supposed to calculate these few pieces that he picked out?”
Oliver took another half an hour to pick out a dozen stones. One of them was a basketball-sized raw stone worth over 300
thousand dollars, and the rest were all worth around 20 thousand dollars or so and between 40,000 and 60, 000 dollars.
The proportion of getting good stones from scraps was actually very low, and one might be able to get more good stones just
because of the large amount.
Oliver looked at the mountain-like raw stone piles and shook his head. He thought, “Forget it.”
Although Hailey picked out around 20 stones, none of them was a good jadeite. The difference was way too huge from the top
jadeite Hailey wanted. It was estimated that it would take an old mine to find a good stone.
“Fabian, I’m going to pick these stones. Ask Joshua how much he wants and I’ll pay for it.”
“Well...” Fabian was a little embarrassed as he spoke. “These are all low-grade materials sold by the ton. To be honest, it’s really
hard for me to tell Joshua. If he wants to sell these, he will sell an entire truck of these materials at a time. How should I tell him if
you only want to buy around 20 pieces of them?”
Oliver smiled and said, “Fabian, I didn’t pick the raw stones based on if they’re old mine materials or how good their outer
appearance looks. I choose the raw stones based on whether they’re appealing to the eye. If they are, I’ll want them. If they
aren’t, then I won’t buy them. You don’t have to be so troubled. How about this... There are 23 raw stones in total. I’ll give you
40,000 dollars in total. No matter how much money you pay Joshua, it would be none of my business. Even if you only gave
Joshua 200 dollars and earned 39,800 dollars yourself, it’s your business. The extra money will be considered as the money for
your hard work. How about that?”
“40,000 dollars? In dollars?” Fabian was stunned and asked.
Oliver smiled and said, “Of course. I can’t be paying you using Manchernius dollars, can I? You won’t accept it even if I want

1. Hahal”
“Okay! Sure, Oliver. I’ll handle it!”
Fabian was overjoyed. Joshua’s scraps were calculated by the ton. The 20 to 30 pieces of stones that Oliver chose weighed
around 500 pounds at most, which would only cost 1,000 dollars at most. Fabian could earn a total profit of 38,000 dollars
this way!
It was difficult to earn 38,000 dollars at ordinary times. It would be good if Fabian could earn a few thousand dollars a month by
swindling someone. He thought, “It’s truly lucky that I get to earn 38,000 dollars like this!”
Without saying a word, Oliver directly transferred 40,000 dollars to Fabian via Fabian’s QR code.
Money was hard currency.
Fabian smiled and moved the raw stone into his pickup truck. He thought, “It seemed that Mr. Eastwood is really rich, for he
casually spent 40,000 dollars buying scraps.”
Fabian became more enthusiastic when he went to Darren Warius’ house. Darren was the owner of another private mine. At this
time, Fabian thought that whether Oliver bought good materials or scraps, Fabian would be enthusiastic. After all, Oliver would
still pay Fabian a lot, even if Oliver was buying scraps.
Fabian had developed discerning eyes after all these years. Although he couldn’t be compared with an expert, he was still quite
observant. He really wouldn’t be interested in the 20 raw stones Oliver picked.
Hailey just followed and watched Oliver do things without saying a word.
She didn’t know the skills and methods here, so Oliver was responsible for them.
She would worry or guess if she hadn’t seen Oliver doing stone gambling before, but she wouldn’t be worried after witnessing his
ability.
Everyone lost money in Willie’s auction, except Oliver, who bought two valuable raw stones.
If it was just one piece of raw stone, Hailey might think it was just luck. But both pieces were valuable stones, Besides, the other
raw stones in the entire auction were scraps. Only these two raw stones were valuable. How could this still be described by just
luck?

Besides, Oliver earned 6 million dollars from Sofia and 17 million dollars by picking things up on the beach. Was that luck, too?
Hailey had long been sure that Oliver was an expert in identifying stones.
Compared to Joshua, Darren had more pieces of raw stones with a good outer appearance. There were over forty pieces of raw
stones in Darren’s private storage.
Oliver looked at the collection of raw stones before choosing a piece of raw stone weighing 172 pounds. The raw stone was
bigger than a basketball.
The price of this raw stone was 92,000 dollars, and its outer appearance looked great.
Of course, if Oliver would buy the raw stone, it meant that its inner content was also great. The jade core was opaque, which had
a pretty good clarity and transparency index. Besides, it was not small. It could produce five bracelets and more than a dozen
pendants. The price of the jade was 800 thousand dollars, and the finished product could sell for over 1.5 million dollars. One
could make a lot of profit!
Darren was very polite, even after a deal was made.
Oliver still asked Fabian to negotiate with Darren. Oliver gave Fabian 100 thousand dollars in total, and then Fabian would
bargain with Darren or get a rebate from Darren.
Fabian was overjoyed. He thought, “This young Mr. Eastwood is so generous. It seems that there is a reason he can have a
girlfriend like a fairy. He’s rich and generous. Which girl wouldn’t like him?”
After Oliver waited for Fabian to finish the negotiation, Oliver said to Darren, “Mr. Warius, do you have any scraps sold by the
ton? I still want to pick some. Maybe I can find something good from the scraps. Hehe...”
Darren waved his hand and led the way. “No problem, Mr. Eastwood. It’s best if you can find a good deal! Haha!”
The scale of Darren’s scraps was smaller than Joshua’s, but it was not less than a few dozen tons.
Oliver probably couldn’t see it all, so he picked the raw stones on the surface and scanned them.
On the other hand, Fabian had patience, as Fabian knew Oliver would give him a lot of money when Oliver bought the scraps.
Then, after Fabian negotiated with Darren, Fabian would make even more money.

It took Oliver more than an hour to pick out only nine pieces of scraps, and they were all small jadeites worth only between
40,000 and 60,000 dollars.
It was too difficult to pick. Oliver wiped his sweat and glanced at the piles of scrap stones, then shook his head and said to
Fabian, “Fabian, forget it. I’ll choose these nine stones and still pay you 40,000 dollars. You can let Mr. Warius know, and
you earn is up to you.”
how much
“Okay!” Fabian grinned from ear to ear and thought, “I didn’t expect Mr. Eastwood to bid without following the usual pricing. He’s
paying me 40,000 dollars for nine stones, which obviously meant that he’s letting me make a net profit of 40,000 dollars. I’m sure
Darren won’t shamelessly make me pay for these nine stones, right?
