Chapter 431: Something Strange
Shu Yue looked at the person in front of her and asked curiously, "Why can't we sell it? Didn't you clearly state that all the stones here can be sold?"
She pointed to the slogan on the wall.
"Other stones are fine, but this one is not."
Is there such a saying?
Shu Yue is a rebellious person. The more you forbid her to buy the stone, the more she wants it.
Maybe there's something good in there.
"Name a price. I want this stone."
"Five million."
"Five million? This stone is only the size of my fist. You want five million? You are really asking for too much." Fu Jingjing found it outrageous.
Shu Yue frowned.
Five million is not cheap. Either it is really worth the price, or it is fake. They deliberately use high prices to deceive people and make those who have enough money spend five million to buy a piece of broken stone.
When Shu Yue was wondering what the mystery was here, a voice sounded behind him.
"Five million, I want it."
She looked sideways. The man was wearing a mask and her face could not be seen clearly, but he was fat and had a big belly. He was wearing a branded suit, but it was obviously not fitting well and was a bit tight. Those who are really rich and pay attention to their appearance would wear low-key haute couture clothes. Judging from his temperament, he was obviously a nouveau riche who made his fortune midway.
When Shu Yue looked at him, he also saw Shu Yue.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome guy before?"
After hearing this, Fu Jingjing was about to curse back, but was stopped by Shu Yue.
"Don't get into conflict with others."
Fu Jingjing then stopped talking.
"Five million, have you decided?" After the staff member said that, the fat man handed him an invitation letter. Different from the invitation letter that Shu Yue and the others used when they came in, their invitation letter was black, while the fat man's was red.
The staff member took a look, immediately turned around to take out the stone, and personally took the fat man to pay the fee.
"This way, please."
"Just now he said he wouldn't sell it to us, but now he's selling it to this fat guy. Are we sure we don't have that five million? My pocket money combined is more than that fat guy's."
Shu Yue took a look at the room they paid and went to. It had a fingerprint lock that only the staff could open. After entering, they could not see anything.
"What's wrong with you?" Fu Jingjing saw her standing there in a daze.
"Nothing, I just feel a little weird."
It's hard to describe the feeling, but I always feel that these five million are not an ordinary gambling stone transaction.
Without thinking too much, Fu Jingjing picked out two stones that she liked. The staff took them to pay, but not to the place where the fat man went. Instead, they took the elevator to the second floor.
Shu Yue had observed just now that, except for the fat man, everyone else had to get off the elevator to pay. So what was the point of that five million worth of stone?
He also specially gave a different invitation letter for entry. Only with that invitation letter would one be eligible to purchase five million stones.
Shu Yue and the others were taken to the second floor to pay, and only then did they turn on their mobile phones. Fu Jingjing swiped the card and spent 750,000 yuan on the two stones. She said that she wanted to spend more of He Zhili's money, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"You can't spend money recklessly even if you have money. Just buy something to show your appreciation."
Fu Jingjing pushed Shu Yue to watch the cutting.
There are quite a few people cutting raw stones. Some get good things out of them, while others get nothing. The situation is very polarized.
"This way, please."
The cutting is done by specialized staff, and the buyer's wishes will be consulted on how to cut it.
Fu Jingjing didn't understand, so she asked the staff to cut it as they pleased.
"Little girl, it's so boring to open the stones alone like this."
An old man came over and Fu Jingjing subconsciously dodged him.
“I think it’s quite interesting.”
"Cut a stone alone is one way to play, but you have another way to gamble on stones. If you bet with me, you bet on whether the material you cut is better or the material I cut is better. The winner of the bet will give the other party the chips promised. How about it?"
The uncle patiently guided Fu Jingjing, and although Fu Jingjing didn't understand, she was not someone who could be easily deceived.
"I don't play, thank you."
Fu Jingjing politely declined.
"Are you afraid that the stone you picked won't be as good as mine and you'll lose?"
His words were obviously meant to provoke the other party.
But Fu Jingjing just fell for it. "Whose stone are you saying is not good?"
"I said yours is not good. Your stone is not big, so what good stuff can you get from it? You've lost before the competition even started." The uncle looked as if he couldn't see Fu Jingjing's stone clearly.
Fu Jingjing was about to speak when Shu Yue stopped her.
"Sorry, no comparison, Master, just open it."
Shu Yue ignored the old man and told the staff to cut it quickly.
The uncle clicked his tongue and continued to act sarcastic.
Many people heard the noise and gathered around.
"This stone will definitely not produce anything good. You're afraid to gamble with me."
The uncle was still mumbling something beside him.
"Come on, you cheat people here every day to gamble with you, and you use the winnings to buy rocks, but you refuse to admit your losses. You even bully two little girls. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
Someone couldn't stand it anymore and said a few words to the uncle. The uncle felt it was boring and quickly walked away.
The stone was cut in half, and there was nothing inside. It was cut again, and there was still nothing inside.
After finally cutting, there was not a single piece of material left.
Fu Jingjing was obviously a little disappointed.
"It seems that I really don't have the talent for gambling on stones. Fortunately, I didn't gamble with that uncle, otherwise I would have lost again."
Shu Yue comforted her, "Isn't there still one piece? It's all about luck in gambling, it doesn't matter whether it comes out or not."
"You chose that one. Maybe you have better luck than me."
Fu Jingjing said this and asked the chef to continue cutting the second piece.
Fu Jingjing was right. Shu Yue was luckier. A hint of green appeared. The people who had originally dispersed could not help but look over again.
As more of the green appeared, the crowd's exclamations became louder and louder. Finally, its true face was revealed, and those who knew the situation started shouting out.
"Oh my god, is my luck so good? I got an icy imperial green from two stones? What kind of incredible luck is this?"
"Is this the novice protection period? How can this be opened? This has increased by more than ten times!"
The swindler who had originally walked away turned back and saw the imperial green jadeite. He was secretly delighted and thought that it was a good thing that he had not really made a bet with them just now, otherwise he would have lost again.
"Shu Yue, you were the one who chose this stone. You are so amazing!"
Fu Jingjing hugged Shu Yue in surprise.
"Just luck."
Maybe it was her halo as the heroine that was at work, she just picked one that she liked and actually got the best jade.
"Good luck is also a part of strength. My jade bracelet from the auction is nothing. This one you opened, I'll give it to you."
Fu Jingjing is very generous.
The two of them stopped talking and then packed up and left.
When she went out, she just reached the door and ran into the fat man again. He was still wearing a mask and got into a luxury car. Shu Yue took a closer look and found that when the door was closed, a pair of children's hands in the back seat patted on the window. With just a glance, the car drove away.
