Looking at the dazzling piles of colorful and diverse raw stones in front of me, I could hear the exclamations of the people around me from time to time, and I seemed to feel the atmosphere of tension and excitement in the air.
Without a doubt, this can be called a veritable gambling stone feast!
In this situation, the emotions of the people around exploded instantly like a lit powder keg. They were eager to start placing bets, carefully selecting the party they thought was most likely to win.
The vast majority of people present turned their gazes to the young master of the Zhu family without hesitation, their eyes flashing with desire and expectation for victory.
Many people even spent huge sums of money, continuously placing bets of tens of thousands of yuan, just to bet that the young master of the Zhu family could win the game.
For a moment, the whole scene became extremely lively, with shouts and discussions ringing in the ears. The atmosphere was so heated that it seemed to be about to blow the roof off.
However, at this moment when everything was in full swing, an unexpected action suddenly happened - Yue Yue threw the heavy cash box in her hand in front of the owner without hesitation.
This sudden change made everyone around look sideways, and those who were busy placing bets stopped what they were doing.
Everyone focused their eyes on Yue Yue, waiting with bated breath to see what surprising move she would make next!
Immediately afterwards, Yue Yue's clear and loud voice was heard: "Since everyone is so optimistic about the young master of the Zhu family, we naturally cannot favor one over the other!
So, I decided to put out a full 100,000 yuan to bet on us to win. I wonder if this will work?"
These words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, immediately causing a thousand waves.
The owner of the manor obviously did not expect that Yue Yue would dare to make such a big bet. A look of astonishment appeared on his face at first, but he quickly returned to normal.
He quickly put on a smile and said, "Of course! You can bet on whomever you want. It's entirely up to you!"
The people around witnessed this scene and began to whisper to each other.
At this moment, the same thought came to their minds simultaneously: "Have these two people gone crazy?"
Especially when thinking about the previous time, everyone thought that the first rough stone was chosen purely by luck.
But this time, they don’t think that these two people will have such incredible luck.
As expected, the situation on the scene was one-sided.
Except for Brother Zhou, who had been helped by Gu Changmu and bet several thousand yuan here, almost all the others chose to stand on the side of the young master of the Zhu family without hesitation.
Many people gathered here with the mentality of watching the fun and not minding the trouble, ready to see the joke of Gu Changmu and his companions.
After all, among those present, there are many people who think highly of themselves and boast of their prominent family backgrounds. They look down on the so-called "nouveau riche" like Gu Changmu who suddenly became rich.
Time passed by minute by minute, and when the closing time was about to come, something unexpected happened - the person who had lost the bet before actually bet 20,000 without hesitation, betting that Gu Changmu would win!
This man was also born into a nouveau riche family. He had a full beard and a haggard face, but even so, he still showed extraordinary courage and insight.
Sure enough, the reason why the nouveau riche can become rich is because of this extraordinary courage!
Under the spotlight of everyone, the two sides officially started the selection of raw stones.
There were only a dozen or so raw stones in front of them for them to choose from, but each one had an extraordinary origin.
These rough stones are all treasures that have gone through the vicissitudes of time and have been collected by the mine owner with great effort and care.
Because of their high price, no one has dared to touch them for a long time.
This time we can finally open for business, and the mine owner shed tears of emotion!
The closer Yue Yue got to the raw stone in front of her, the more intense the reaction in her space became. Unlike the young master of the Zhu family who was still observing these raw stones, they had already selected the raw stones early on. This raw stone was already inconspicuous among these raw stones, but being inconspicuous also had its advantages. This raw stone only cost 600,000 yuan.
Everyone was waiting for the young master of the Zhu family to make his choice. He had been wandering among those raw stones with particularly good expressiveness. Those raw stones were so good that it was difficult for him to make a decision.
Finally, he made up his mind and chose the piece of imperial green jadeite with a skylight. When everyone saw the raw stone he chose, they all felt that they had a sure win. At this time, the young master of the Zhu family also explained that he wanted to cut the stone first.
Then everyone around gathered at the stone-cutting platform. It was the first time they had seen such a valuable raw stone. This raw stone was worth five million, but it was one of the most expensive raw stones here. Five million in the 1990s was an astronomical figure.
After all, at that time, villas and courtyard houses in Shanghai and Beijing only cost tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention houses in other places, where you could get a property for only a few thousand yuan.
This time, the stone-cutting master asked another stone-cutting master to help. It was impossible for him to cut such a huge stone by himself. After about half an hour, the original stone was finally cut.
With this cut, the five million was directly cut in half. It turned out that the inside was just ordinary green, and the upper layer of imperial green did not penetrate deep into the inside. This cut was considered to have cut it down, and the people around were silent.
Young Master Zhu's heart was bleeding, but when he thought that Gu Changmu's raw stone was only worth 600,000, he felt that he could do it, so he hurriedly asked the stone-cutting master to cut Gu Changmu's raw stone quickly.
