Chapter 90: Chapter 74: One Hundred Thousand, Five Hundred Thousand!_2

Actually, what Zhang Guangbiao wanted was just a gimmick—the more expensive your purchase, the better the advertising effect. No one cares whether you lose money or not!

"Give... What’s going on? Why all the commotion?" Su Ziyi returned, carrying several bottles of water, handing them out to Elder Han and others, and passed one to Sui Yi before suddenly asking about the scene before them.

"Well... someone has found jade," Sui Yi said, already seeing some people raising their hands to bid.

"Fifty thousand."

"Sixty-five thousand..."

Boss Wang, Boss Qian, and others were in urgent need of jade jewelry and such for the upcoming Classical Chinese Conference. By comparison, Elder Tang, although also involved with jewelry and jade, wasn’t as anxious as those in retail, so he was contently watching from the sidelines.

Boss Qian quickly escalated the price to One Hundred Thousand Yuan,

One Hundred Thousand Yuan!

The eyes of the office lady’s colleagues turned green with envy.

They worked hard for two or three years and might not even save up One Hundred Thousand Yuan. Yet, your random impulse purchase of a rock for 200 Yuan could net you One Hundred Thousand Yuan?

The others who bought rough materials felt even more choked up. The money they spent was several times that of this piece, so why didn’t they find any of it...

Two Hundred Yuan, One Hundred Thousand Yuan?

"A 500 times return on investment..." someone calculated.

Upon calculating, everyone’s eyes turned red.

They all looked towards the office lady.

Boss Qian squinted his small eyes, grinning at her, and said, "Miss, my price is absolutely fair. If you sell it to me, you’ve made One Hundred Thousand Yuan~~"

The office lady was already tempted and quite excited about the offer, but then she heard someone say, "The jade has not yet been completely extracted, and the depth of the jade is still unknown. If it goes deeper, well~~ One Hundred Thousand Yuan would be too cheap~~ It should be at least five hundred thousand Yuan~~"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Five Hundred Thousand Yuan? At least Five Hundred Thousand Yuan?

Their breathing suddenly tightened.

Boss Qian’s face couldn’t look worse, cursing to himself about that damn Elder Tang, always causing him trouble.

Nearby, Qian Shuangyu and others had already come over. Qian Shuangyu scoffed, "It might also have no depth at all, not even as good as ’skin green.’ We’re spending One Hundred Thousand Yuan on this material and taking on the risk..."

She stared disdainfully at the office lady, "Miss, you need to think this through. If it turns out not to be anything valuable, forget One Hundred Thousand Yuan; nobody will buy it even for Two Hundred Yuan..."

These words were heavy.

The office lady’s face turned into a mix of colors, One Hundred Thousand Yuan, Five Hundred Thousand Yuan...worthless...

It was a gamble.

To gamble and then to gamble again, that’s the allure of Gambling Stones.

Sui Yi, not far from the jade cutting machine, sent out a wisp of magnetic sensation onto the surface of the stone. Just by probing slightly, she could see that the color inside the jade was deeper than on the surface, and the underlying color was quite evenly distributed. Normally, this linear pattern had a significant chance of going deep, rather than stopping abruptly.

She hoped the girl would make a clear choice.

Boss Qian and Qian Shuangyu were visibly impatient, their attitude, imperiously arrogant, but to others, it seemed usual. After all, that’s how rich people were.

Some business people even helped to speak up, confidently assuming that the Qian Family would get the raw material.

Zhou Ran, standing next to Qian Shuangyu, felt the admiration from the people around him, and for a moment, felt extremely gratified. Subconsciously, he looked towards Sui Yi, but saw her turning her head to talk to Su Ziyi.

Su Ziyi, he knew this person.

The Young Proprietor of Book Fragrance Square, the future heir, coming from a very wealthy family...

Lucky you, Sui Yi, for snagging another wealthy scion!!

Zhou Ran’s face grew dark, and he casually added to the office lady, "Miss, One Hundred Thousand Yuan is not a small amount. Think about it, unless you’re like some people who do disreputable things and just wave your hand to get millions, where else does One Hundred Thousand Yuan just fall from the sky for you?"

With that remark, it wasn’t just the office lady and others taking umbrage, Elder Tang’s face went dark as he instinctively looked at Sui Yi.

Sui Yi also heard it, and turned her face slightly, frowning slightly. Zhou Ran seemed to change his tune real quick, but it seemed she had said before that it was the last time she would tolerate his rudeness.

So...

Sui Yi looked towards the office lady with shallow eyes, like glazed glass, and spoke slowly, "Fate never favors anyone for no reason. Maybe there’s only one chance in life. How would you know what you’ve missed out on if you don’t try?"

She paused then smiled, "One Hundred Thousand Yuan, what is it enough for?"

If you are wealthy, One Hundred Thousand Yuan isn’t much, but if you’re not, One Hundred Thousand Yuan basically can’t change the big picture of your fate.

Unless you are confident enough to turn that One Hundred Thousand Yuan into fifty times its amount. But if you really had such abilities, why would you place your hopes on these Gambling Stones?

Sui Yi’s words, as always, had the power to move people’s hearts. The office lady’s thoughts wavered, looking at Sui Yi again and again.

She had been in an extremely difficult family situation recently, continued to use money, and came out to dine with colleagues. They happened to pass by here, and, perhaps because of too much repression and desperation, she generously bought a stone for Two Hundred Yuan.

It was like a hopeless gambler trying to buy a lottery ticket to change fate, she too hoped to be favored by heaven just this once.

But after the purchase, she regretted it.

She never expected to actually be lucky for once.

One Hundred Thousand Yuan, that’s One Hundred Thousand Yuan...

But what she needed was more; One Hundred Thousand Yuan wasn’t enough!

Zhou Ran scoffed, "What if nothing comes out of it? Sui Yi, can you take responsibility for her?"

Sui Yi smiled, looking at the office lady, and said serenely, "Even if you don’t gamble, how about I buy this piece of material from you for Two Hundred Thousand Yuan?"

The office lady was taken aback, and the crowd erupted into an uproar!

Two Hundred Thousand Yuan, this young girl was willing to spend Two Hundred Thousand Yuan on this piece of material?

That’s more than twice what Boss Qian offered!(To be continued. If you like this work, I invite you to vote and support on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
