Chapter 1353: Chapter 1354: The God of Stone Gambling
"This is the chairman’s assistant from Qingyu Company. I’m the general manager, and he’s here to help me with something."
Han Fei’er said.
"Really?"
Flora asked skeptically, "He hasn’t done anything to you, has he?"
"Flora, I don’t allow you to slander Assistant Xiao. He is my benefactor."
Han Fei’er deeply respected Xiao Chen. Without Xiao Chen, she wouldn’t have achieved her current status.
Qingyu Company was growing bigger and bigger, and she was also becoming more successful.
"Alright, alright, don’t be angry. I just need to remind you, he’s already married."
Flora said.
"Of course I know."
Han Fei’er said, "Alright, I won’t chat with you anymore. I have serious business to handle."
"You wouldn’t happen to be here for gemstone gambling too, would you?"
Flora asked.
"I’m looking for Chief Liu!"
Han Fei’er replied.
"Liu Dasuan? I can help you. Liu Dasuan was robbed overseas back in the day, but my father helped him."
Flora said with a smile.
"That’s wonderful!"
Han Fei’er was thrilled, as she had been worrying about how to establish a connection with Liu Dasuan. This was perfect.
"Liu Dasuan is someone who always prioritizes profit. I advise you not to get your hopes up."
Xiao Chen poured cold water on Han Fei’er.
Flora, however, said indignantly, "I don’t believe that for a second. I’ll definitely get it done."
Although the public plate hadn’t officially started, some prominent bosses had already begun to make selections early, with raw stones labeled and waiting to be sold.
Raw materials were mainly divided into two types: semi-gambling and full-gambling.
Semi-gambling stones refer to raw materials where jadeite has already been partially cut out but not completely exposed. The price is relatively higher, but the risk of losses is lower.
True gambling happens with full-gambling stones.
These stones are entirely uncertain. There might be jadeite inside, or it could just be a plain rock.
Spending tens of thousands, or even millions, on a single stone could end up being incredibly awkward.
Therefore, only big bosses dared to play this game.
Thankfully, full-gambling stones also came in smaller and cheaper options, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand, which ordinary people could afford. However, most of the time, they didn’t end up with anything good.
Liu Dasuan crouched in front of a raw stone, carefully examining it.
He had many years of experience in gemstone gambling and had deep insight into the trade, losing less often than he won, which is why he had rarely lost money.
"Hmm, I’ll take this one. Bid on it!"
Liu Dasuan ordered his assistant.
The assistant immediately noted it down and instructed someone to negotiate the price with the owner.
"Hmm? This raw material!"
Suddenly, Liu Dasuan stopped.
He had spotted a massive piece of uncut raw material, irregularly shaped, standing over a meter high. It was likely the star of this year’s Tonghua Gemstone Gambling Convention.
The price tag on it was a staggering one hundred million!
Such items were generally displayed for prestige rather than actual sale, aimed at raising the convention’s profile.
"Why do I feel like I saw this back at the Pingcheng Public Plate?"
Liu Dasuan asked, puzzled.
"That’s correct, boss. This piece has an extremely high price and poor external characteristics, so it’s been showcased at multiple public plates but never sold.
Last time, you said you couldn’t be sure about it, so you didn’t take it."
The assistant adjusted his glasses and answered.
Liu Dasuan sighed and said, "Indeed, it’s hard to predict the outcome. I really wonder who’ll buy this piece this time."
Looking at the raw stone, Liu Dasuan felt tempted to take it but also worried about wasting one hundred million in vain.
Spending money wasn’t the issue; the key concern was reputation.
He was known in the industry as the "Gemstone Gambling Master," a slightly exaggerated title, but he did win in seven out of ten bets.
If this stone became the cause of his disgrace, it wouldn’t be worth it.
For someone like him, reputation clearly mattered more than money.
"Uncle Liu!"
Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out. Liu Dasuan instinctively turned his head, as he shared the same surname, Liu.
"Miss Flora!"
Liu Dasuan was surprised to see Flora in Dragon Country. It was truly unexpected.
"Since when did you arrive in Dragon Country, young lady? Why didn’t you come to see me?"
He greeted Flora warmly, "Also, do you enjoy gemstone gambling too?"
Flora smiled and said, "I’m indeed interested, so I came to take a look. This is my friend, the general manager of Qingyu Company, who wants to discuss a collaboration with you.
Is that convenient?"
Liu Dasuan furrowed his brow and replied, "Ordinarily, I wouldn’t be willing to talk about business here. But since it’s your request, I agree.
Your family saved my life back then; otherwise, I’d have perished in Gaul.
However, I must say, Ms. Han, your Qingyu Company is too small, and the price you’re offering is too low.
If I’m selling the farm, I’m obviously looking for a high price.
Although I’m looking to retire, I don’t intend to sell it cheaply.
Since you’re a friend of Flora’s, I’ll be blunt with you: your price needs to be at least tripled before I’d even consider it.
And it has to be in cash."
Han Fei’er quickly responded, "Chief Liu, although Qingyu Company is small, we’re currently on the rise. Our installment payment contract guarantees a final price higher than any other company.
And if I’m not mistaken, we’re the only company willing to take on the farm’s employees. You have deep feelings for them, don’t you?"
Liu Dasuan shook his head and said, "Ms. Han, you’re mistaken. I’m not someone who lets emotions dictate my decisions. Everything must be viewed from a profit-driven perspective.
Alright, there’s no need for further discussion."
Han Fei’er wanted to say more but was stopped by Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Chief Liu, you’re fond of gemstone gambling?"
"What, young man, do you like it too?"
Hearing Xiao Chen mention gemstone gambling, Liu Dasuan’s interest was piqued—it was about catering to one’s tastes.
Some people were eccentric and didn’t care about money. If you pleased them, they might even lose money willingly.
But if you didn’t meet their tastes, no amount of money would suffice.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak, an unfriendly voice suddenly interrupted.
"He doesn’t just understand gemstone gambling; he’s the gambling god."
Walking in from outside was Chang Ziru.
The young master of Tonghua City’s Aristocratic Clan, the Chang Family—Chang Ziru.
This was the same person who had been humiliated by Xiao Chen in the music hall earlier.
"Young Master Chang!"
Liu Dasuan chuckled, "You two know each other?"
"Of course we do. This is Xiao Chen, Mr. Xiao—the husband of Jiang Meng, the chairman of Xinmeng Group. His skill in gemstone gambling is absolutely top-notch.
He’s even better than you!"
Chang Ziru said with a laugh.
It was a clear case of backhanded praise!
Undoubtedly, it was a trap disguised as a compliment!
Han Fei’er and Flora both looked displeased.
Chang Ziru had said so.
If Xiao Chen denied it, it would seem cowardly; if he accepted, the situation would escalate uncontrollably.
Flora knew Xiao Chen understood music and appreciated fine cuisine, but surely he couldn’t also be an expert in gemstone gambling.
"This is trouble!"
Flora frowned.
Han Fei’er was equally tense.
Liu Dasuan turned to Xiao Chen and said, "Mr. Xiao, if that’s the case, I must say I disagree. In gemstone gambling, most people lose nine out of ten bets, while I win seven out of ten.
In this industry, I’m known as the ’Gemstone Gambling Master.’ But even I wouldn’t dare call myself the ’gambling god.’"
