Chapter 210 Find a random stone
"Dugu, I think you just have a bad memory. How could it be the first time? It's obviously the second time. Don't you think so?" Feng Ting said, looking at the people around him.
Others knew that Feng Ting had a high status in Yongcheng, so they didn't dare to offend him easily. As for Dugu, his business didn't conflict with the people here anyway, so they didn't care whether they offended him or not.
"Shut up!" Lin Xi said unhappily, looking angry and embarrassed, "It's my business, stop talking nonsense!"
The people around were too lazy to argue with a woman and kept silent.
It's their own money that they're losing, so why bother about them?
The little episode passed quickly and a new stone was placed on the table.
Next, Lin Xi seemed to have suffered a major blow and did not say a word.
Feng Ting took a picture of a stone and found jade inside it.
The quality of the jade is not very high, but the quantity is not small, so this is considered a profit.
The people around congratulated Feng Ting one after another, and Feng Ting walked up to Dugu Xin with a proud look on his face, "Dugu, thank you for letting me do that."
Dugu Xin had long been accustomed to Feng Ting's expression, and said calmly, "It's just an ordinary jade. If it makes you so happy, it shows that your level is just like this."
"You!" Feng Ting was furious. He had never seen Dugu Xin so sharp-tongued on weekdays. Why was he so angry today? "Forget it. Since you have suffered a great loss today, I won't bother with you."
At this time, Lin Xi suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Feng, I don't agree with what you said. In fact, the best jade here has not been opened yet, and the auction has not ended. How can you be sure that you have made a profit?"
When Feng Ting heard Lin Xi's words, he felt that she was arrogant. "I'm telling you, woman, you have already lost several thousand taels of silver today because of Dugu. Not only do you not reflect on it, you are still talking nonsense here!"
"I'm not saying anything outrageous," Lin Xi said calmly, "There are still good things in the stone today."
Feng Ting took a look at the remaining stones, there were only three or two. Lin Xi actually said that there were good things in them, but he didn't believe it anyway.
"Boss, could you please package the remaining three stones and sell them to us?" Lin Xi asked.
The old man had never encountered such a situation before and was undecided for a moment.
"Three thousand taels, is that okay?" Lin Xi asked without hesitation. The others gasped. This woman must have gone crazy today. Are the remaining small stones worth three thousand taels?
But besides being astonished, I began to feel a little hesitant in my heart, wondering if there really was something good in there.
"Boss," Lin Xi called out, and seeing that the old man didn't say anything, he raised the price directly, "How about five thousand taels? Even if you auction all these stones, they won't fetch that much."
The old man has been in this business for a long time, so he naturally knows that what Lin Xi said is right.
But at the same time, he was a little confused. What was Lin Xi's intention in asking him to buy useless stones again and again?
I have to say that the old man was indeed tempted. Just as Lin Xi said, all these things together could not be sold for less than five thousand taels, so it would be better to give them all away.
Feng Ting had been paying attention to their situation. When he saw Lin Xi trying desperately to buy the stones, his original distrust began to waver again.
The reason was simple: Lin Xi was too confident.
The business of gambling on stones is all about gambling. If he gets lucky and really gets something good out of it, he won't have to worry about the rest of his life.
"Five thousand taels, just give it to me." Feng Ting said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xi said, "No, we made the first offer, how can we sell it to him? We must be trustworthy when doing business!"
The old man looked at the two of them, feeling torn.
Seeing Lin Xi's determined look, Feng Ting thought for a moment and said, "Six thousand taels, I'll take all the remaining three stones."
After all, the old man was more familiar with Feng Ting, so he made the decision directly, "Deal!"
Lin Xi was so angry that he was spinning back and forth on the spot.
Seeing her like this, Dugu Xin thought that there were warm jades in those stones, and hurriedly said, "Ten thousand taels, boss, I will pay ten thousand taels to buy the remaining stones you have."
"It's too late!" Feng Ting stood in front of the old man, "Our deal has just ended. If you want these stones, come and buy them from me."
Dugu Xin knew very well that once the things were in Feng Ting's hands, he would have to pay a huge price to get them.
"Well, you name a price." Dugu Xin gritted his teeth. No matter what, his mother's illness could not be delayed. As long as he could pay the price given by Feng Ting, there was nothing he could not agree to.
Lin Xi said, "Why are you in such a hurry? A deal requires payment and delivery. He may not have the money to pay."
Feng Ting was almost laughing at Lin Xi's words. He has no money?
"Wait, I'll take the money."
After saying that, Feng Ting asked someone to go and get the money.
Soon, ten thousand taels of silver were placed in front of everyone. Feng Ting solemnly took the stones. You have to know that this cost him ten thousand taels of silver.
"Mr. Feng, there's nothing inside these stones." Lin Xi said deliberately.
Feng Ting didn't believe Lin Xi's words at all at this moment. He just thought that this woman was just jealous.
"We'll know whether there's anything or not after we open it," Feng Ting said.
The old master opened two pieces in front of everyone, but there was nothing inside. Feng Ting's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
As the last stone was about to be opened, Lin Xi deliberately said, "Mr. Feng, how about we make a bet?"
Feng Ting narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Xi.
"I'm betting with you with all the stones here. As long as the stone in your hand can produce jade, I'll lose and have to pay you 100,000 taels of silver. If the stone in my hand can produce jade, you'll have to kneel down and kowtow to me and admit your mistake, saying that you shouldn't look down on me." Lin Xi said.
I have to say that the temptation of one hundred thousand taels of silver is too great, but——
"There are no stones here at all. What do you have to bet with me?" Feng Ting said.
Lin Xi looked around and saw the stone used to block the hole in the wall. "This is it."
The old man quickly said, "Hey, this is used to support the house, you can't take it away."
Lin Xi refused to admit it, "What's wrong with that? Just give me these pieces and you can find a few more later."
"It really won't work," the old man looked around and saw the stone pressing on the water tank, "Here is for you."
Dugu Xin spent ten taels of silver to buy the stone for the water pressure tank.
Feng Ting didn't expect Lin Xi to compare this thing with himself. He thought to himself that there is such a fool who comes to his doorstep. His Feng family is going to get rich.
"Have you chosen? Then I can start opening the stones." Feng Ting said.
"Open." Lin Xi nodded.
The old master took something and chiseled the stone bit by bit. He hammered it once, then twice, but there was still nothing inside.
But according to the agreement, only the one who produces jade from his stone will be punished, so Feng Ting was not panicked.
