Chapter 981: Chapter 980: Taking a Big Gamble

Huang Jie’s face turned deathly pale, unable to accept that he had lost to Lin Dong in his own domain.

"No, no, you’re just a blind cat that lucked into a dead mouse!"

"You don’t understand rough jadeite at all. If you do, pick one now and cut out some jade for me to see!"

Tang Jun also looked towards Lin Dong.

"Brother Dongzi, do you really understand rough stones? If you do, help me cut one."

He hadn’t completed his task yet and hoped to carve a jade Buddha statue as a birthday gift for his Grandma by cutting the rough stone.

Everyone turned their gaze to Lin Dong; seeing how accurately he had picked the top-grade rough stones, they all thought he was a great ability in the jade betting circle.

However, Lin Dong just shrugged his shoulders and said, "I really don’t understand rough stones."

"Not even the color and quality level of the stone..."

"Heh, I told you so. You don’t understand at all, just a blind cat running into a dead mouse!" Huang Jie sneered coldly.

"I might not understand, but I won’t play the fool like you. Doesn’t that mean you’re even worse than me, a beginner?" Lin Dong spread his hands.

"You..." Huang Jie’s face flushed with anger.

"Besides, not understanding doesn’t mean I can’t cut out good stone material..." Lin Dong took a turn in his reply, speaking again.

Upon this statement, everyone could tell.

Lin Dong was indeed preparing to take a gamble.

Seeing this, everyone was highly anticipative.

Although Lin Dong insisted that he didn’t understand stone gambling, no one believed him.

Just like at the beginning when Lin Dong said those two top-grade raw stones were scrap, now no one believed him when he said he wasn’t into jade gambling.

Tang Han also felt that Lin Dong was being modest.

Wasn’t it like how he said he couldn’t race cars before, and yet he won afterwards?

"Brother Dongzi, show Huang Jie’s dog eyes what a real Golden Eye is!" Tang Han revealed her fangs, clenched her little fists, and shouted.

At the moment, Lin Dong scanned the pile of rough stones on the ground.

Many rough stones were left unbid due to their poor appearance.

Just now, Lin Dong had discovered a piece of top-grade rough stone among these ’scraps’.

Even in Lin Dong’s view, the jade inside was of high quality!

Moreover, due to its age, the jade had even developed some spiritual energy. This type of jade was most suitable for making jade amulets.

At the moment, seeing Lin Dong staring at a large stone that was pitted and even cracked on its pitch-black surface, Huang Jie couldn’t help but laughingly said:

"You’re not seriously thinking of buying that one, are you?"

Lin Dong nodded, "How is that? Not possible?"

"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Huang Jie couldn’t help but sneer, "You really don’t understand rough stones. That big stone doesn’t have even a trace of green moss on it, and you can see the greyish white inside through the cracks on its surface, which is commonly known as scrap stone!"

"And it’s the lowest kind of scrap, just some stall’s goods, meant to dupe those laymen who know nothing!"

Anyone present who knew about jade gambling was nodding their heads, agreeing with what Huang Jie said.

Lin Dong, not wanting to waste words with him, asked, "How much for this rough stone?"

"Wholesale price, fifty cents per pound!" The man in charge of selling the rough stones said.

"Then weigh it for me!" Lin Dong said.

The man sneered, "You really want this one? It’s not because it’s cheap, right?"

"But cheap stuff isn’t good quality. Even if the stone is cheap, you still have to pay for cutting. And cutting isn’t cheap!"

Lin Dong gave him a disdainful look, "Cut the crap and weigh it already!"

Seeing this, the man revealed a mocking smile and said nothing more.

He had never seen such a fool; so many stone gambling experts had professionally told him this was scrap, and yet he was still insistent on buying it.

It seemed Huang Shao was right; the previous two pieces of top-grade raw stones were really just a fluke when he blind cat happened into a dead mouse!

The stone was soon weighed.

It was actually a thousand pounds.

But since it was only fifty cents a pound.

This huge stone cost just a few hundred yuan!

After Lin Dong paid, the cutting master said, "For cutting this kind of scrap, I calculate the fee by weight!"

"Five hundred yuan per pound for cutting fees!"

Five hundred yuan a pound for over a thousand pounds—that would be over half a million!

Lin Dong waved his hand, "No need for you!"

The cutting master sneered, "Too expensive? I don’t even want to cut it for you! Cutting this kind of scrap would damage my reputation!"

Seeing this, Huang Jie wasn’t pleased.

He had spent 850 million, playing the fool. And now Lin Dong was only buying a stone worth a little over 500 yuan?

If it turned out to be a worthless stone, Lin Dong wouldn’t suffer much of a loss.

His eyes darted around as he provoked, "Kid, is that all the guts you have? If it’s stone betting, then do you dare to place a bigger bet?"

Lin Dong said, "But I only want this stone!"

"There’s another way to bet on stones," Huang Jie said.

"Oh? What kind of betting?" Lin Dong asked with a semi-smile.

"Betting with a wager. You claim there’s first-class jade inside this stone, right? Let’s bet on it!"

"If it’s really as you say, then I lose. If it’s a worthless stone, then you lose! How about that?"

Lin Dong laughingly said, "Okay, how large is the bet?"

Huang Jie’s eyes shifted again, and he immediately said, "If we’re betting, let’s make it big, don’t you think?"

"Yes, I think so too," Lin Dong nodded.

"How about, let’s bet 850 million?" Huang Jie suggested, hoping to win back the money he lost playing the fool today from Lin Dong.

"Heh, isn’t that a bit too little? How about 8.5 billion!" Lin Dong astonishingly suggested.

"You... what did you say?" Even Huang Jie was startled upon hearing 8.5 billion.

"What, don’t you dare?" Lin Dong retorted with a challenge of his own.

"I... what wouldn’t I dare! If you dare, why wouldn’t I? I’m just worried you don’t have that much money!" Huang Jie said.

Lin Dong laughingly said, "Wait for me to make a call!"

With that, he made a call.

"Open a new account for me at Dragon Country Commercial Bank, and then transfer 8.5 billion into it!"

After saying this, he hung up.

The others exchanged glances.

Not only Yang Meng and Huang Jie, but even Tang Han and Tang Jun were wondering if Lin Dong was bluffing?

That’s 8.5 billion we’re talking about!

However, it wasn’t long before Lin Dong’s phone rang again.

And someone had indeed opened a new account for him at Dragon Country Commercial Bank.

In that account, there really was 8.5 billion!

Lin Dong provided the account details, directing Huang Jie to check it!

Huang Jie rushed to verify, and after doing so, he completely lost his composure.

"You... who exactly are you?"

At that moment, he started to feel afraid.

Because that account really had 8.5 billion in it!

A person who could simply move 8.5 billion in cash flow with a phone call, that is a terrifyingly powerful individual.

But greed was also stirring in his heart.

He wanted to win that 8.5 billion!

"Does it matter who I am? What’s important is, do you dare to bet with me? If you win, those 8.5 billion will be transferred directly into your account!" Lin Dong said with a smile.

Under the spell of greed, Huang Jie didn’t care anymore about Lin Dong’s identity.

He shouted loudly, "Fine!"

"I’ll bet with you!"

"I’ll put my family’s assets as collateral, and bet with you!"

The Huang family’s assets amounted to just over a hundred billion.

This was practically betting all their wealth against Lin Dong.

If they lost, the Huang family would be utterly ruined.

Of course, if they won, possessing that 8.5 billion in cash flow would elevate the Huang family to a higher stage under Huang Jie’s leadership.

The dream of a trillion-yuan clan would no longer be a dream!

At that moment, he was so excited he began trembling all over.

He looked at that ’worthless stone,’ and no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be just a worthless stone, unlikely to contain any jade, let alone first-class jade!

He was holding a winning ticket!

"I’m about to soar, our Huang family is about to soar!"

Huang Jie roared.
