00:00The old woman held a broken bowl and wanted to sell it for $5,000.
00:03She even claimed that it was her family's heirloom.
00:05She would not have sold it unless absolutely necessary.
00:08The young man found the old woman's words sincere and not at all like those of Scammer.
00:11He gave her his entire monthly salary.
00:13It was precisely this act of kindness that set him on a path to an extraordinary life.
00:17After receiving the money, the old woman handed the broken bowl to the young man.
00:20Then she left in a state of melancholy.
00:22Only then did the young man carefully scrutinize the bowl.
00:25Suddenly, a beam of golden light shone into his eyes.
00:27It enabled him to obtain golden eyes.
00:29Seeing several lines of faint characters appear on the broken bowl,
00:32the young man immediately became curious about its origin.
00:35He hurried home to clean the bowl thoroughly.
00:37Sure enough, ancient imperial inscriptions appeared on the back of the bowl.
00:40Although the bowl was somewhat damaged,
00:41this type of imperial porcelain could still fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:45So he took the bowl to an antique market for an expert appraisal.
00:48Unexpectedly, he discovered that his friend had been extorted by a bully shop owner.
00:51The bully claimed that his friend had ruined the feng shui of their shop.
00:54He forced his friend to buy the shop.
00:56Soon, both of them were dragged into the shop.
00:57Using his golden eyes, the young man saw that there were two jars hidden in the shop's backyard.
01:02These were the legendary sellers,
01:03any one of which could casually be dug up and be worth millions of dollars.
01:07Feigning reluctance, he decided to help his friend by buying the shop.
01:09The bully would never have dreamed how foolish his decision that day was.
01:12After the group had left,
01:14the young man told his friend to come with a shovel after midnight that night.
01:16The two of them arrived at the shop's backyard.
01:19Once they had pinpointed their target,
01:20they began digging just as the young man had anticipated.
01:23Before long, they unearthed two jars.
01:25To their surprise, they were filled entirely with silver coins.
01:28The friend took one silver coin, blew on it, and held it to his ear to listen.
01:32The pleasant sound confirmed that they were genuine ancient coins.
01:34When they discovered that the coins were minted by the Qing imperial family,
01:37they immediately became ecstatic because these coins could now be sold for $10,000 each.
01:42After counting, the two found that each jar contained 108 silver coins altogether.
01:46They were worth $2.16 million.
01:48It seemed that the young man had now secured his initial capital.
01:51They would now have the confidence to attend the gemstone appraisal conference.
01:54The next day, the two attended the conference.
01:56Very quickly, the young man set his sights on some of the stones.
01:59He merely glanced at one with his golden eyes
02:01and discerned that the ordinary stone contained raw material for golden jade.
02:05He advised his friend to bid on that stone initially.
02:07The friend was very worried about incurring a loss.
02:09Others also mocked the young man for being too young to distinguish between genuine and fake.
02:13But in the end, the friend trusted the young man's judgment and bought the stone for $300,000.
02:18Subsequently, the young man spotted a block of raw green jade nearby.
02:21As soon as he secured that stone, his friend pulled him over.
02:24At that moment, the friend's stone was being cut.
02:26The friend was extremely nervous, fearing a loss.
02:29But when the stone was split open, everyone was stunned.
02:31The stone revealed a very rare raw material, a golden jade.
02:34The friend was overjoyed by the sight.
02:35Just as they were about to continue cutting the stone, a female CEO, planning to enter the jade industry, approached.
02:41She believed that the stone could be crafted into a bracelet and a pair of earrings.
02:44So she offered $2 million to buy the stone.
02:46However, the young man refused to sell it.
02:49Other buyers then started bidding against the female CEO eventually.
02:52The female CEO raised her offer to $5 million.
02:55The young man originally intended to further increase the price.
02:58But his friend could no longer contain his excitement.
03:00He agreed to sell the stone to the female CEO for $5 million.
03:02After the money was deposited, the friend planned to split the profit with the young man.
03:07But the young man stated that the stone was his friend's purchase.
03:09So all the proceeds should belong solely to his friend.
03:12Actually, the young man was very confident about the green jade stone he had just secured.
03:16Sure enough, in the next moment, everyone present began scrambling for that stone.
03:19One expert even offered $1 million to acquire.
03:22The young man claimed that the stone was worth $10 million.
03:25Everyone thought he was just boasting.
03:26When they saw the stone being split open, everyone was left dumbfounded.
