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.
