Chapter 667: Gambling on Stones
"How do you want to compete?" Gu Ning asked, calmly and confidently, without any worry or nervousness at all.
"I brought a cart of raw materials. We will each select three. Whoever selects the raw materials with the highest value will win." Wu Yuanping said. He did not show arrogance or self-confidence, but was serious and solemn.
This attitude was not exactly finding fault, it was clearly a challenge, which made Gu Ning's impression of the other party not so bad.
Although most people ridiculed Wu Yuanping for picking on Gu Ning and said he was crazy, they were all looking forward to it after hearing that they were going to compete. They wanted to see how capable Gu Ning was.
"I can compete with you, but you don't have the final say. Since it's a competition, there must be stakes. Otherwise, there's no point in the competition. I never do meaningless things." Gu Ning said. She didn't have so much time to waste doing meaningful things.
"What do you want to bet?" Wu Yuanping asked. He didn't mind Gu Ning raising the stakes. It wasn't because he was confident that he would win, but he felt that what Gu Ning said made sense and there was no reason for others to waste time competing with him.
Gu Ning smiled and said, "In a while, I will give you money for the rough material I selected, and then the rough material will be mine, and the jadeite that is mined will be mine. If neither of us gets jadeite, then it's a tie. If both of us get jadeite, then the loser will... that's it. It's not good to play big, so how about five million! The loser gives five million to the winner, how about that?"
Originally, Gu Ning wanted to say that the loser would have to pay the winner the price of the jadeite he unlocked, but he felt that if this was the case, and if a jadeite worth tens or even hundreds of millions was unlocked, wouldn’t the other party be in big trouble?
She had already earned tens of millions or even hundreds of millions from jadeite, and the other party wanted to pay this amount on top of that. In this case, let alone whether the other party would vomit blood and die, even if nothing happened, she would still feel uneasy because she had cheated the other party of so much.
Because the result is obvious, she has to win, she will win, she can't care about fairness. If she loses, she will become the target of public criticism, and people will question her previous statement that she made her fortune by gambling on stones, which will cause bad comments and affect the reputation and business of "Jade Beauty Jewelry".
However, it is unknown whether there are high-quality jadeite, or any jadeite at all, in Wu Yuanping's pile of rough materials.
"Okay, let's do it." Wu Yuanping responded happily. He could still afford to lose five million.
Not all the people present today are rich, many of them are just ordinary people, so five million is a sky-high price for many people. Some people will develop a hatred of the rich because of this five million bet, and think it is too crazy.
"Mr. Wu, it's not that I don't believe it, but we should still make a written agreement." Gu Ning said.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Although Wu Yuanping himself would never go back on his debt, in order to reassure the other party, he naturally had no objection.
Then, Gu Ning asked Zhou Zhenghong to take out a pen and paper, and Gu Ning started drafting.
"How about we make a bet to see who will win?" Xu Jingchen touched Xing Bei's arm and said with interest.
"Okay, I'll bet on Miss Gu Ning, and you bet on Wu Yuanping. The loser will wash clothes for the winner ten times. How about that?" Xing Bei said.
Xu Jingchen choked, feeling blocked: "I wanted to bet on sister Gu Ning."
"Aren't you obviously trying to trick me? Since everyone thinks that Sister Gu Ning will win, then what's the point of betting?" Xing Bei gave Xu Jingcheng a look of contempt without any hesitation.
"Okay!" Since that was the case, he naturally couldn't continue betting, so Xu Jingchen gave up the idea.
Originally, Pan Zirui and others were planning to take a gamble, but after hearing what Xing Bei said, they felt that there was no suspense. Everyone believed in Gu Ning, so what was there to gamble on?
If Wu Yuanping wins the bet, wouldn't that be against Gu Ning? So they'd better not make trouble for no reason.
However, some people in the crowd started betting in groups of three or four, but most of them bet on Gu Ning to win, because Gu Ning had today's achievements, so he was more convincing, and no one knew Wu Yuanping, so no one knew his ability.
Soon, the document was drafted in duplicate. After Wu Yuanping checked it and confirmed that there were no problems, he signed his name, and Gu Ning also wrote his name.
Of course, witnesses are needed, and these witnesses are undoubtedly Tang Haifeng and Mr. Lei.
After signing, the competition began.
Because there was a parking space outside the mall gate, Wu Yuanping's truck was parked there, and the group went towards the truck.
Wu Yuanping asked the two stone-cutting masters who came with him to open the truck and then move the stone-cutting machine down first. In order to save time, Wu Yuanping brought two stone-cutting machines.
Onlookers took out their mobile phones to take photos and some started live broadcasts, inviting everyone to watch.
Gu Ning has been very popular recently, so when people saw Gu Ning competing with others in gambling on stones, they all rushed in.
Although the host knew that Gu Ning had become very famous recently and that it would attract a lot of people, he was still shocked by the number of people entering and the speed at which they entered, even though he was mentally prepared.
Damn, every time she broadcasts live, there are hundreds of people watching. However, this time, in just a few minutes, there are hundreds of people watching, and the number is still increasing.
The host's video was directed at Gu Ning's area, so as soon as the fans entered the venue, they saw Gu Ning, the stone cutter, and the raw materials on the car.
“Wow! It’s really Goddess Gu competing with others in gambling on stones!”
"I'm so excited. Thank you for the live broadcast. I'd be so sorry if I don't give you a gift."
"That's right, no explanation needed for giving gifts."
Then, there were many gifts. Although they were small gifts, they made the anchor very excited. She had never received so many gifts before! Seeing this, the people around her also started live streaming. This was simply an opportunity to make money. How could they miss it?
Don't mention it, the effect is really good! As soon as it was opened, people came in one after another. Gu Ning's reputation really works!
Here, after the stone calender was moved down, we saw a pile of raw materials in the car. The raw materials were of different sizes, and there were probably hundreds of them.
"Ms. Gu, please go first." Wu Yuanping politely let Gu Ning choose first.
Gu Ning didn't hesitate and went straight to the carriage to take a look.
A quick scan with my X-ray eyes revealed a pile of waste. Of course, there were still a few with jadeite, but the best was only mid-range quality, and there were only two of them.
Gu Ning took the only two rough pieces of medium-quality jadeite. One was the size of a football, and the other was half the size of a football. The size of the jadeite accounted for one-third of the rough piece, which was quite good.
