Chapter 47 I'm Betting All Out!
It was four in the evening.
The gambling stone shop under this bungalow was already full of people.
Although it was crowded, the areas allocated are all based on one's status. Said Ye Chen in his previous life, although he also appeared in the crowd of that gambling stone, he had to tiptoe to look inside from the periphery, otherwise he could see nothing but only look at the heads of the crowds.
However this time, because of Zhang Jingshan, he was able to enter directly into the shop.
"Have you brought enough money, Zhang? Do you want to add some money to the opening of the stone later?"
As the idiom went, enemies are bound to meet head-on on a narrow road. Li Mu was standing less than three meters away from where Zhang Jingshan and the other two stood. And there went piece after piece of revelation were pulled out. When the gambling stone feast was about to start, he taunted Zhang Jingshan proactively. "Okay, who's afraid of you now? I'm short of money recently too, and I was worried about where to find someone to get milked!" Zhang Jingshan snorted.
"Hey, don't you already have one beside you? He can lose one million dollars in the Maple Leaf, can't you get two three millions from him?" Li Mu laughed.
"Don't fucking talk to me, don't forget you're always been my loser! " Knowing that he was not going to win when it came to bickering, Zhang Jingshan stopped arguing with him.
Li Mu shook his head and smirked. His eyes flickered with playfulness. Speaking of gambling stones, he thought that ten Zhang Jingshan altogether were not even his opponent. This time, knowing Zhang Jingshan's competitive mentality, he had already planned to make him miserable!
As soon as the gambling stone game kicked off, it was followed by bursts of uproar and sighs.
Some people bought a kilogram of rocks with thousands of dollars, with one cut and immediately it got bought with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some people initially had a stone that worth hundreds of thousands dollars, but after few cuts on that stone, they got nothing but to shed a tear.
Some of them were ecstatic in excitement.
Some of them were paralysed in despair.
It was all explained by the meaning of the gambling stone. When the knife went down the stone, one was either became poor or became rich.
However, whether it's Ye Chen, Zhang Jingshan or Li Mu, none of them intended to start gambling.
Slowly, Zhang Jingshan could not hold it anymore. The main reason why he came here was not to just join and watch the fun but to test Ye Chen whether he was that godly accurate! More than a dozen rounds had passed, yet Ye Chen had not moved at all? Plus, some of the stones that were cut out just now had hike up to several times or ten times the price.
Why, why hadn't Ye Chen's intuition been brought into play yet?
"Mr. Ye, which stone do you think we can pick?" After scrutinizing the rough stones for a round, Zhang Jingshan couldn't help but asked.
"Don't worry!" Ye Chen said lightly.
"Number 16, the Mowanki Black Usha, this rough stone with 130,000 dollars, is anyone interested?" The middle-aged man who presided over the feast asked with a slightly embarrassed expression.
It was said that this kind of rough stone was normally not worth cutting, so unless it was under special circumstances, few people would take the risk to gamble on this stone. Therefore, this stone had been placed for a long time, it started from 200,000 dollars and now, it had dropped to 130,000 dollars.
Although many people came forward to look around this black Usha, the middle-aged man did not think that anyone would take any action.
"Old Huang!" After looking at the sixteenth rock, the black Usha came out, Ye Chen suddenly shouted in the direction of Old Huang. Then, an emaciated body immediately walked over from the crowd like a loach.
"What's the matter?" Old Huang, who had yet to make the last shot with his hundreds of thousands after selling the homestead.
"Do you trust me? Believe me, you bet on this piece of black Usha!" Ye Chen was straightforward.
What the hell?
As soon as the words came out from Ye Chen.
Not just Old Huang.
Everyone around him was astonished, including Zhang Jingshan, Li Changfeng, and Li Mu.
Just now when he saw Ye Chen was pretending to be experienced and careful but his behavior of observing the rough stones was unprofessional, his contemptuous heart had already sneered. Now, when he heard that Ye Chen asked someone else to take this piece of black Usha stone, he was completely stunned.
Was Ye Chen trying to pull someone else to get swindled together?
Was this the nature of a dumb loser?
"Wait, since when did you research on gambling stones? If I'm not mistaken, you haven't touched these things before, have you? Don't you know people have said that there's a chance of getting nine worthless stones in every ten cuts black Usha stone if you're betting on them. How can this thing..."
Without waiting for Old Huang to finish his words, Ye Chen shook his head and interrupted. "Right now, this is the only one that can be won by around hundred thousands dollars, the rest of them are all worth at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Do you think you can afford to take them down? Also, do you trust my recent luck? Believe it and start gambling on it, really, I won't trick you!" Ye Chen's words made Old Huang stunned.
Indeed, this was the only stone that he could win among the hundreds of thousands of stones.
But black Usha stone was really not worth betting on!
Seeing the confidence in Ye Chen's eyes, Old Huang struggled.
"Though it is said that there are nine worthless stones in every ten black Usha, there is still 10% of chance that it's price can be higher., but isn't it still a one-tenth possibility left that the price is going to increase ? Trust me!" Ye Chen smiled firmly.
Old Huang went silent and just looked at Ye Chen, feeling the confidence in Ye Chen's calm face. At that moment, Old Huang felt that he did not know him at all. It seemed that Ye Chen was completely different from who he knew him as a gambler before!
After taking a deep breath, Old Huang shouted. "Fu*k it, just shoot the works!" He turned his head and claimed, "I want this black Usha stone!"
"Ah, okay, okay, boss, do you want to cut it now or let it on hold first? Would you want the workman to cut it for you, or do you want to do it by yourself??" The middle-aged man who presided over the feast was overjoyed and asked anxiously.
"Let the workman to cut it now.!" Old Huang shuddered nervously. He had no idea why he would believe Ye Chen. This, this was absolutely crazy! Without windowing on the stone, buying black Usha
for 130,000 yuan was literally no different from putting money in jeopardy!
"Zhang, why is this sworn brother of yours so deceitful? Starting from 200,000 dollars, no one even wants this broken black Usha all the way down to 130,000 dollars, it's almost turned hairy. Yet, your sworn brother
here still shouting and fooling people to take it down? Why, what's his intention! You, Zhang Jingshan not only brought shame upon your grandfather's name but also the entire Jiang Zhou by being friends with this kind of fool!" At this time, Li Mu sneered.
Old Huang overheard the words and was dumbfounded! Does no one wants it since 200,000 dollars? That's why the price was to reduce to 130,000 dollars? What the hell!!!
Those experienced stone gamblers can match Ye Chen?
They can't see the magic of the stone but Ye Chen can? Could it be possible?
It's totally impossible.
Lao Huang panicked and couldn't help but start to chicken out.
Although those hundred thousand dollars were a drop in the bucket, it could not save him, nor could he save his mother, but no matter what, that money was still his last hope!
"What the f*ck are you talking about? How would you know it's screwed when the stone has not been cut yet? What if the price hikes up after opening?" Zhang Jingshan talked back at him without thinking.
"Wow, you are that supportive of your scumbag brother! Since you are that confident about his decision, let's bet on this. If it really can make the price hike up, I give 1 million dollars to you., I lose 1 million to you. Otherwise, you will lose not too much, just 500,000 dollars to me, how about that?" Li Mu jokingly shook his head and mocked.
