Tan Ming swiped her card again and glanced at Tan Si. She snorted coldly. “Did you see that? This is called stone gambling. If you can’t afford to play, don’t play! You still want to compete with me? Your parents aren’t here to support you and bully me.”
The disdainful expression and words on Tan Ming’s face agitated Tan Si. Her expression was filled with ruthlessness. “You’ve only lived a few days of good life and you dare to challenge me. The little bit of income you earn is just the money for me to buy a precious piece of jewelry. How can a b*stard without parents compare to me!”
The last sentence made Tan Ming frown slightly. She suppressed the displeasure in her heart and said provocatively, “Why don’t you buy it? You make yourself sound so rich, but in the end, you’re just changing the topic by putting me down. If I really can’t compare to you, you wouldn’t have spent so much effort to prove something to me, right? It’s useless even if you deny it. Your actions prove everything.”
Tan Si clenched her fists tightly and immediately took her card out from her bag. She shouted, “Paying by card!”
“Alright!” Boss Yu was smiling so much that flowers were about to bloom on his face. He took the card and immediately swiped it.
The laymen watched the show for excitement while the experts watched the ropes. Most of the people who could hide here in the market early in the morning were ordinary people who knew the industry. The truly rich rarely squeezed into the market with a group of people. Most of them were stable and liked to patronize shops where they enjoyed special treatment.
Therefore, there were many people watching, but not many people really dared to actually gamble immediately. The cutting machine was always free.
Tan Ming deliberately did not open her own first. This was Tan Si’s first time stone gambling. She could not wait to urge the boss to go. In the end, the quality of the stone she opened was very ordinary. The original price of 1.08 million yuan only returned less than 100,000 yuan.
A million yuan was wasted. Tan Si panicked. “Boss! What kind of goods are these?! You’re scamming me! Do you believe that I’ll complain to the Jade Association about you?!”
Boss Yu’s happy smile faded slightly. “Miss, let me tell you what the words stone gambling mean. The word gambling already represents the nature of this matter.”
“Once you’re at the gambling table, your hands are off once you’ve made your bet. Once the dice cup is opened, you have to accept your loss. From the beginning to the end, this raw stone was chosen by you. I didn’t say anything to disturb you. It was all voluntary. I have surveillance cameras in my shop. If you insist on suing, feel free to do so.”
When the others heard the argument between the two of them, they also gathered around.
“Young lady, this is your first time stone gambling, right? One is willing to bet, and the other is willing to suffer. When Boss Yu bids, if you’re willing to accept it, buy it. If you buy it, you have to accept the outcome.”
“That’s right. Many people spend millions to buy trash. This is nothing.”
“In addition to experience, stone gambling also depends on luck. Many experienced veterans still lose because of this.”
Of course, Tan Si did not give up after spending so much money to get such an outcome. However, after hearing everyone’s words, she knew that she was not in the right.
At this moment, Tan Ming handed over her raw stone. She glanced at Tan Si and teased, “Boss, there are some people who are unlucky and can’t afford to lose. Why are you paying attention to her? You want to get good stuff for just 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. You can’t recognize your own strength. I’ve always been a humble person. I know that I’m purely lucky today. I don’t dare to take the second stone. I’ll try buying it for one million yuan instead.”
Boss Yu knew clearly that Tan Ming was the one who brought him popularity and spending. No matter what the other party’s motive was, he was the biggest beneficiary today. Moreover, Mr. Jiang had personally brought him over. Just from Mr. Jiang’s attitude towards the girl in front of him, he knew that he had to do his best for her.
When Boss Yu looked at Tan Ming, his usual smile immediately returned to his face. He took the raw stone with both hands and said solicitously, “I wish Miss good luck, hope you get another good material!”
Tan Ming’s smile deepened. “Thank you for your kind words, Boss!”
As soon as the machine was turned on, everyone gathered around again. In the end, a glass type jade was inside. It was about one size larger than the regular ice jade.
The envious voices were even more obvious this time.
Although Tan Ming did not understand, she could tell from everyone’s expressions that something was amiss. “Boss, how much is my piece worth?!”
Boss Yu smiled even more happily than Tan Ming. “This size and quality are at least 8 million yuan. If Miss is willing to sell it, I will buy it immediately!”
Tan Ming felt a buzzing sound in her head. She had spent 1.15 million yuan and received a return of more than 10 million yuan.. She experienced the extreme pleasure from the adrenaline of winning a gamble!
