Chapter 8 Precious Stone

The Exuberance Mansion was a six-story old building. Located in a relatively remote area, it took up a lot of space. Now it was a trading place of raw jade stones. Mr. Zheng, the owner, would ship a batch of raw stones from abroad each month, attracting many customers.

Raw stones were quite variable, and no one knew for sure what was exactly inside. Maybe after cutting, a high-quality jade would come out, and the buyer earned several or a dozen times than the original price. Maybe it was just a rock. So, such trade was also called stone gambling, which was very risky.

After cutting, maybe one would get rich or poor overnight. This was how stone gambling worked.

Today was the day when raw stones were shipped, so there were a lot of options. Hearing the news, many rich men came here. The clearing in front of the building parked hundreds of cars, including Benz, BMW, Audi, etc. The lacquer gleamed brilliance, and the scene was like a vehicle exhibition.

The Ferrari roared and drifted. The tires screeched and let out a plume of smoke. With a rush, it drifted to the right of an Audi A6 perfectly.

It only took Yale Lin 26 minutes to finish the one and a half hours' drive. The speed was incredible!

Isabel Su was filled with admiration for Yale's superb skills. No longer afraid, she screamed with excitement. "Ah, that was fun, awesome. You looked handsome when you drove the Ferrari with one hand!"

Yale smiled nonchalantly. As a racer, this was nothing, just a small display of his skills. Looking out of the window, he recognized the place and asked curiously, "Are you looking for someone or gambling stones?"

Isabel hummed, "Who is worthy of me driving so far to meet? Of course, I'm here to gamble stones."

Yale Lin kindly reminded, "This is not fun. You may become rich or poor overnight. Think twice."

"I know, I won't gamble big, just for fun. Even so, I am not reconciled for the loss of over ten million so far. Therefore, I'm bringing you here to get a break." Isabel gave a frustrated look.

"Why me?" Yale asked with confusion.

"Because you are out of luck. As the saying goes, Things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. Maybe when you stand by me, my bad luck will be transferred to you, and I can win." Isabel quite believed in superstitions. To win the gamble, she even figured out such a method.

"Is that so?" Yale laughed dumbly, "Don't make fun of me."

"I mean it. Anyway, I'm going all out and bringing another ten million today. If I lost, I would quit gambling stones, just follow me inside."

Yale Lin rolled his eyes, "Well, how about you listen to me? Although I can't guarantee the interests, at least I won't let you lose money. If you win, no matter how much, you should score me half."

Isabel looked at the man with surprise and said angrily, "You are shameless. But you have no money, and if I win, I give you half of the interests. Do you believe there is such a good thing in the world? Are you so crazy about money?"

Yale rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Then go for yourself. I tell you what, if you won't lose all your money today, I will change my name. Do you really believe stone gambling is that easy? You bet on any stone you like? But there are many inside stories."

"So, that means you are good at stone gambling?" Isabel asked doubtfully.

"Of course!" Yale responded domineeringly.

The beautiful woman was pissed, but this guy didn't take her seriously. As his will, he scolded her. If it was someone else, she should have knocked him down.

On a second thought, Isabel was corrupted by the interests once again and chose to believe him. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Well then, do as you say, but what if you lose?"

"I'll pay you in full, what do you say, is it fair?" Yale said indifferently.

"Huh, you don't even have a house. What makes you believe you can repay me? But it doesn't matter. If you lose, you should work for me, and your annual salary will be 10,000. Not until you pay all the debts, you won't get your freedom." Isabel snorted.

"No problem, you have my words."

When the two entered the building, many guests were picking out raw stones. Most of them, in fact, were looking on. It was not a game after all, but the gambling capital started from hundreds of thousands of yuan. Any careless mistake could result in their loss of hard-earned money.

Those customers who bought raw stones stood by the cutting machine and watched the worker cutting open the stones. There were also many onlookers around. All in all, few could earn interests, but most of them would lose and show sad faces.

As soon as many bosses saw Isabel's arrival, their eyes lit up. The Flaming Rose was worth her name. She was indeed very gorgeous!

Among them, there was a man in a brand suit. His greasy hair gleamed under the light. This man was Sam Sun, the eldest junior master of Sun's family and John Sun's brother. He had some knowledge about stone gambling and had earned several million yuan.

As his confidence was boosted, he didn't even attend the wedding of his brother today. Staying in the Exuberance Mansion, he had picked seven, eight raw stones. He was in luck as two of the stones brought him another four million yuan of interests.

Another advantage of buying raw stones here was that they could monetize easily. As long as the jade was good, Mr. Zheng would repurchase them at the market price. Then, customers would have the money to buy more, which was very convenient.

Sam had always been coveting beauty Su. If he could get such a beautiful woman, his reputation would be greatly boosted. However, this woman didn't even give him a chance. Even though, he couldn't suppress the fire of desire within him. Combing his hair, he swaggered over flatulently under the escort of two bodyguards.

"President Su, what a coincidence, we meet again, this is destiny. Last time, you lost a lot, how about you partner with me. I'm in luck and just earned several million yuan. Think about it. I can guarantee you will win." With a beaming smile, Sam tried to curry favor with her.

The rich man from a powerful family annoyed Isabel. With a sullen face, she said coldly, "I don't need it. I bring my helper here today. He will guarantee my win."

The smile on Sam's face froze and disappeared. With jealousy, he took a glance at Yale and said disdainfully, "Helper? You are talking about this kid? What does he know? Such a loser. Be careful, he will make you lose it all."

"I like it, none of your business. Yale, let's go, pick some raw stones and step away from pesky men."

Isabel pulled Yale to step away. At the sight of her lithe and writhing body, Sam swallowed hard and showed a cold face. Bitch, no need to pretend in front of me. Wait and see, I would get you sooner or later.

There were many shelves all around. Per various sources, they were divided into different areas. The roof was equipped with dense cameras. Every move of the customers was under surveillance. After all, there were larger raw stones worth up to millions of yuan.

There were opened and unopened raw stones. The so-called opening was to grind a little of the stone surface so that customers could have a peek of the materials inside.

Of course, the price of such stones was more expensive. If the opening was green, the price would be dozens and even hundreds of times higher than the original price. Because there was a much higher possibility that jade was inside.

However, there were also risks. Some material might look greenish from the opening, but the inside was quite a different story. Once cut in this case, the buyer would lose more money.

The unopened ones were stones. It was hard to predict the materials from the natural shape. Nine out of ten were bad ones. So, the price was much lower. If the buyer was in luck, the stone could prove lucrative.

Isabel had been betting on this kind of raw stones without openings. So far, she had lost tens of millions.

Now Yale was brought to the shelves. At the sight of various stones, she was quite upset. If she lost the working capital, her company would fall into trouble and find it hard to recover again.
