Chapter 708: What A Trickster

The plump man became even more excited after the contract was signed.

‘This kid is a total idiot!’

He looked at Tang Hao with ridicule and disdain.

‘How lucky! I was only shopping to cure an itch, but I didn’t expect to meet a rich idiot.

‘I’ve made five hundred million yuan for literally nothing.’

Everyone on Tang Hao’s side was also excited.

‘Haha! This idiot dares to challenge Master Tang and think that he will win? He’ll be crying very soon! That’s five hundred million we’re talking about!

‘Speaking of which, Master Tang is a ruthless one. He doesn’t even blink when he is ripping someone off.

‘He’s even smiling sheepishly!

‘What a trickster!’

Everyone sighed inwardly.

Qin Gang patted Tang Hao’s shoulder and exclaimed, “How ruthless, Brother-in-law!”

“Nah, I’m not!” Tang Hao said seriously.

“Right, of course!” Qin Gang understood what he was trying to imply.

“Watch carefully, kid. You might learn something from me today! I’m not bragging here, but when it comes to stone-gambling, not many people are my match. I grew up in a quarry, and I’ve touched more raw jade ore than you touched stones.”

The fatty took a drag from his cigar and said arrogantly.

Then, he sneered, turned around, and started picking stones.

Tang Hao walked to the other side.

He strolled over to the shelves and swept his gaze across each piece of jade.

All he needed was a single glance.

A group of people followed behind him, observing his every move. They looked excited and eager.

“As expected of Master Tang. Look at his demeanor. He’s an expert!”

Many people were flattering him.

“This piece… and this piece…”

Tang Hao circled the store once and picked out five stones. The shop a.s.sistant helped him to place the stones on the table.

Meanwhile, the plump man had not chosen his first piece yet. He was quite shocked when he saw that.

Following which, he sneered.

‘That kid chose five pieces in just a few minutes. He must be banking on his luck!’

His att.i.tude toward Tang Hao became even more disdainful.

He carefully studied every stone and finally chose five pieces.

“I’ll go first! Kid, open your eyes, take a good look, and be in awe of what I can do!” The plump man shouted.

The jade cutter looked at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao nodded. “Let him go first!”

“Alright!”

The jade cutter took one stone and placed it on the cutting machine. He cut open a small window and revealed a light green color.

The jade inside was clear and l.u.s.trous.

The crowd was shocked. It was clearly an ice-type jade. Even though the color was light green, it could still command a high price!

“This guy is not bad!”

The crowd whispered.

The plump man had won a high-quality piece of jade earlier, and now he got a second piece. It seemed that he had a knack for appraising stones.

“It’s no big deal!” The plump man grinned smugly.

The jade cutter continued to extract the jade from the ore. Eventually, the jade that was obtained from the ore was the size of half a soccer ball.

“Wow! What a haul!”

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

The stone was only a little more than a hundred thousand yuan, but the jade could be sold for two or three million. That was a huge profit.

The plump man took the jade and caressed it. He grinned and felt very pleased with himself.

“Continue! Let’s cut the other four pieces!”

The jade cutter took the stones one by one and cut them.

Of the remaining four pieces, one was a dud. The other three were, respectively, a rare red jade, a green wax-type, and a green pattern-type. That made everyone gasp in surprise.

Picking four pieces out of five stones was an amazing feat!

“How is it? Not bad, right?”

The plump man laughed loudly, feeling extremely proud of himself.

‘The five hundred million yuan will be mine!’

Everyone frowned, feeling not as confident as before. Some of them even began to feel uneasy.

Master Tang was indeed talented, but that plump man was not bad either.

“It’s too early to celebrate!” Tang Hao smiled and said to the jade master, “Sorry for the trouble!”

The master took one of Tang Hao’s stones and placed it on the machine.

In an instant, all eyes were on the stone, and everyone held their breath.

The plump man sneered with contempt.

How would the kid win unless he was really lucky? The plump man got an ice-type and a rare red jade.

The jade cutter carefully operated the machine and opened a window. In an instant, a clear green light leaked out.

Everyone was stunned. In the next moment, their eyes widened in shock.

“Oh my G.o.d! It’s pure green!”

“Look at the l.u.s.ter. It’s a top-grade gla.s.s-type…”

Everyone cried out in surprise and revealed fanatical expressions.

“Quick! Cut it open! Let us take a look!” They urged the jade cutter.

As for the plump man, his jaw dropped, and he froze on the spot.

His mind went blank.

‘A pure green gla.s.s-type jade?

‘Is this a prank?’

“Impossible! This is impossible! It’s probably just the surface! Quick! Cut it open!” He roared as he stared at the stone.

The jade cutter was also quite nervous. Pure green gla.s.s-type jade was second only to imperial jade.

He operated the machine and carefully extracted the jade inside.

The crystal-clear piece of jade was the size of a basketball. It was dazzlingly beautiful.

“Wow!” Everyone exclaimed.

As for the plump man, his hand trembled, and his cigar fell to the ground. His face was full of shock.

Then, his entire body shook, and his face turned pale.

Ice-type? Red jade? They were nothing compared to the gla.s.s-type.

That one piece alone was worth more than his five pieces.

He had lost the bet!

His face twitched, and he was about to pop a vein.

That was five hundred million yuan!

Although his business was very profitable, it would take a long time to recoup the five hundred million.

His face turned ashen.

He thought that he would definitely win, but the kid was luckier than he was.

Meanwhile, the crowd cheered.

“As expected of Master Tang! He’s awesome!”

The plump man’s face twitched violently as he yelled, “Awesome? He just got f*cking lucky!”

“Nonsense! He’s not lucky, he’s talented!”

Qin Gang was the first to be indignant. He jumped out from the crowd and pointed at the plump man’s nose.

The plump man glared at Qin Gang with a sinister gaze.

“Let’s continue cutting. We’ll see if it’s just luck!” The plump man said.

The jade cutter opened another stone. It was a colorless ice-type.

The plump man’s entire body trembled, and his face paled.

The third piece was a dark green ice-type.

The plump man felt dizzy in his head, and he almost fell down.

The last two pieces were both ice-types.

Everyone cheered fanatically, while the plump man was dumbstruck.
