Chapter 863: Twenty to One
Twenty thousand Hong Kong dollars in HK is equivalent to about 16,000 RMB in the mainland.
Seeing that Gu Ning wanted this Arhat Buddha, Gu Zuhui realized that Gu Ning's target was this Arhat Buddha from the beginning. She asked about other things first just because she didn't want the boss to catch her attention and raise the price.
Good, what a thoughtful girl! After the transaction was successful, Gu Ning and Gu Zuhui continued to walk towards the appraisal center.
Gu Zuhui did not ask why Gu Ning wanted to buy this thing or whether it was real. He has never been a nosy person and does not like to interfere in other people's private affairs.
In this case, Gu Ning could naturally see the success, because she also didn't like people who talked too much.
Soon, the two arrived at the appraisal center. Gu Ning had already exchanged his own blue and white porcelain vase with the one he bought. He held his own blue and white porcelain vase in his hand, while the one he bought had now passed through the backpack and entered the space purification.
After the appraiser examined it, it was confirmed to be authentic and was estimated to be worth around six million.
The middle-aged man gave Gu Ning six million without bargaining at all. It can be seen that the middle-aged man is a wealthy man.
Yes, if he had no money, how could he go to see the blue and white porcelain vase worth nearly 10 million!
The other party didn't want to let her lose, so she naturally wouldn't take advantage of him. After all, she had spent a lot of effort to get this thing, so it didn't matter if she got a little less, so Gu Ning offered five million, one million less.
Gu Zuhui was surprised by this. After all, it was one million, not one hundred yuan! The other party gave him one million less so readily.
However, Gu Ning insisted, and Gu Zuhui did not refuse anymore, and was grateful to her.
Then, Gu Zuhui gave Gu Ning a business card and said that if he needed anything in the future, he could find him and he would definitely not delay if he could do it.
Why not make one more connection? So Gu Ning accepted the business card and gave the other party his own business card as a courtesy.
After the transaction was completed, the two separated.
Gu Ning continued to visit the antique street to see if he could find any more bargains.
After walking down the whole street, Gu Ning picked up two bargains, one worth less than one million, and the other worth no more than two million. Today's harvest was pretty good.
In addition to antiques, there is also gambling on stones here, so after browsing the antiques, Gu Ning went to take a look at the gambling stone street.
Although Gu Ning has a lot of jadeite now, who would complain about having too many good things? So if he comes across a good one, Gu Ning will still buy it.
The gambling stone street is a branch in the middle of the antique street. It is about 30 meters long and has dozens of shops. It is also a lively scene. In particular, outside a shop, there was a group of people gathered, making a lot of noise, as if something had happened.
Gu Ning walked over to take a look. At the door of the store, there was a gigantic piece of woolen material, the size of a 28-inch suitcase.
What is this for!
The owner of this shop wanted to sell this rough material and set up a gambling game to bet on whether there is jadeite inside the rough material. The stakes are arbitrary.
There are several odds for betting on jadeite. If you just bet that there is jadeite, then the odds are 5 to 1. There is also the grade of jadeite, which is divided into four categories: low grade, medium grade, high grade, and top grade. The odds are 10 to 1.
Both lower-middle and upper-middle grades are classified as middle grades.
If you guess directly what kind of jade is inside, then the odds are twenty to one, but this is also very difficult, and the prerequisite is that there is jade inside.
If you bet on nothing, then if you win it's a two to one payout, because that's the highest chance.
Seeing this, Gu Ning became very interested. She had X-ray vision and could see what was inside at a glance.
Gu Ning immediately looked inside and found that there was jade inside the giant, but it was very small, only the size of a basketball.
The jade is bright emerald green in color, and the color is silky. This is the golden thread variety, and it belongs to the mid-grade jade.
This size costs around 20 to 30 million.
There were thirty-one people participating in the betting, but twenty-six stopped betting. Five of them only bet on certain places. As for the variety, grade and type of jade, no one bet.
Gu Ning went to the counter and filled out the betting card. Since it involved money, he had to show his ID card for registration.
When the counter clerk saw that Gu Ning's ID card was from inland China, he glanced at him with obvious contempt in his eyes. Gu Ning was unhappy about this kind of regional discrimination, but since the other party didn't say anything, she didn't say anything either.
Gu Ning filled in the betting amount on his betting card as 100,000 yuan, betting that the prize would be golden jadeite.
Gu Ning was just playing around and not trying to make money from it, so he just gambled 100,000.
The odds are twenty to one, so if she wins, she will get two million, which is less than one-tenth of the value of the jadeite in this giant, so it is not too much.
However, the counter clerk was shocked by the bet. Although 100,000 was not much for Gu Ning, it was a lot for the counter clerk! Moreover, she was the only one who bet so high.
The others only have a few tens of thousands, and at most no more than fifty or sixty thousand.
The most important thing is that she placed the bet with the highest odds. Where did she get her confidence from? Or was she just crazy about money? Gu Ning was despised by the counter clerk, who thought she was a fool who gave money away. However, how could she refuse the money that was given away for free? The counter clerk turned around and told his boss about it. The boss was also very surprised when he heard it.
This girl is so generous!
However, as the saying goes, even gods cannot tell the difference between jade and jade, he naturally did not think that the other party made such a bet because he knew that there was jadeite in the rough material. He just felt that, no, he should conclude that the other party was just guessing and spending money for fun.
So, I didn’t care.
Less than two minutes after Gu Ning placed his bet, he stopped betting and started marking lines and cutting stones.
Ever since the raw material was marked, everyone has been staring at it nervously, because this is the key to making money for them!
If you bet that there is jade, then there is jade in the hope; if you bet that there is no jade, then naturally there is no jade in the hope.
As time passed, the rough material was unraveled piece by piece, revealing white pieces again and again, which made those who had bet on jade disappointed again and again, while those who did not have jade were happy.
Only Gu Ning was calm and composed.
Because Gu Ning had the biggest stakes, the counter clerk paid more attention to her. He originally thought that she would be disappointed and sad when she saw that the rough material was peeled off layer by layer and there was still no jade. However, he did not expect that she was still calm and composed.
In that case, the counter clerk could only think that she simply didn't care about the money.
Anyway, he would never think that Gu Ning was being too confident. As the saying goes, even gods cannot tell whether a jade is inside. How could an ordinary person like her know that there is jade inside?
But Gu Ning knew it.
