Gu Xingzhou glanced at the price tags on the rough stones in this area and quickly whispered, "Brother Hao, let's just gamble a little, there's no need to bet so much."
He just came here to have some fun and see if he could find a bargain, but he never expected it to go so far.
He couldn't bear to spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on a pile of stones.
He wasn't a spoiled brat either.
Chen Hao leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Just cooperate with me."
"Oh, okay, I'll listen to Brother Hao." Gu Xingzhou was unaware of Chen Hao's purpose.
But he trusted him, and whatever he said was the truth.
He is a die-hard fan of Chen Hao.
Chen Hao noticed out of the corner of his eye that someone was following them. He moved away from Gu Xingzhou and stopped talking, but kept his eyes fixed on a rock.
This is a semi-gambled rough stone. The green color that was revealed is crystal clear and is imperial green of the glass type.
If the entire stone is made of jade, then it will be very expensive.
Therefore, this piece of raw jade is not cheap, with a price tag of ten million.
Chen Hao turned to look at Gu Xingzhou, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Xingzhou, this rough stone has excellent texture and clarity; it must contain jadeite. Let's buy it."
Seeing Chen Hao suddenly seem like a different person, Gu Xingzhou was stunned for a second before quickly starting his performance, "Brother Hao, I also think highly of this stone."
But isn't this price too high?
Chen Hao stared at the stone, his face hesitant, then looked at Gu Xingzhou with a determined gaze, "Although the price is high, if jade is found inside, we can earn more than ten times the amount."
“Okay, then we’ll buy it!” Gu Xingzhou happily agreed.
He took out his phone and called his assistant, only to be told that the rough stone had already been bought.
"What? No one bought it just now? How come someone is buying it now?" Gu Xingzhou exclaimed, feigning surprise.
The shop assistant replied apologetically, "Sir, I'm sorry, this piece of raw jade was sold just a minute ago."
"Who stole my wool fabric?!" Gu Xingzhou shouted at the crowd.
Fatty Liu walked out smugly, looking up at Chen Hao and the others with his head held high. "It's me."
"You're shameless! We were the ones who wanted it, how could you buy it first?" Gu Xingzhou cursed.
The commotion attracted the attention of many people, who came forward to see what was happening.
Hearing Gu Xingzhou's curses, Fatty Liu was not angry at all. Instead, he was smug and said, "You just looked at it, but you didn't pay. I'll pay first, so it's mine."
This principle applies wherever you go.
Seeing the angry Gu Xingzhou, the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.
Ten million! If he bought a worthless rock, he'd lose his job as purchasing manager and would have to pay the company money back.
He can buy jadeite worth tens of millions, but he has no right to buy rough jade like this, which is only partially gambled on.
The company has a dedicated team that purchases both fully and partially rough stones.
Therefore, he misappropriated the company's procurement funds and bought the raw material in his own name.
The money needs to be paid back afterwards, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
The onlookers understood the entanglement between the two sides, and someone spoke up for Fatty Liu, saying, "Manager Liu is right. Whoever pays first gets what they want."
Yes, that's the rule.
Chen Hao winked at Gu Xingzhou, then looked at Fatty Liu and sneered, "Congratulations on buying the right rough stone. Aren't you going to get it cut open?"
Looking at the indifferent Chen Hao, Fatty Liu felt like he had punched a cotton ball. He then directed his men to move the raw materials to the stone-cutting machine.
He arrogantly instructed the stone cutter, "Grind it slowly, but don't damage it at all."
Be gentle...
After rambling on and on, the stone cutter went on strike, saying, "Why don't you cut it yourself?"
"What kind of attitude is this!" Fatty Liu roared.
"It's just a piece of raw material, what's so great about it, making so many demands?" Gu Xingzhou said sarcastically.
At this moment, Boss Tang walked over and said to Fatty Liu in a deep voice, "Manager Liu, that's enough."
"Yes, yes," Fatty Liu replied cautiously.
He could offend anyone here, but he couldn't afford to offend Boss Tang, otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive in the antique street.
Upon seeing his boss, the stone cutter reluctantly began grinding the stone.
Boss Tang turned to Chen Hao and tentatively asked, "I heard you're quite fond of this stone?"
"Huh? When did I say I was optimistic about this stone?" Chen Hao exclaimed, feigning surprise.
Fatty Liu also heard the voice. He quickly walked over and exposed Chen Hao's trick, saying, "You don't need to deny it anymore."
I clearly heard you say you wanted to buy this stone, that's why I bought it before you did.
Upon hearing this, Boss Tang frowned slightly. "Manager Liu, although the rule of jade gambling is that whoever pays first gets to keep it."
But no one is as tasteless as you, snatching raw materials from someone else.
Hearing Boss Tang's reprimand, Fatty Liu's face turned red, and he stammered, unable to speak.
“Boss Tang, thank you for speaking up for me, but…” Chen Hao paused for a moment, then looked at Fatty Liu and said softly, “But I really didn’t like that piece of rough jade. I’m interested in this one.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his phone and transferred five million to Boss Tang.
When Fatty Liu saw Chen Hao pay for the raw material without hesitation, his heart skipped a beat.
He pointed to the rough stone being cut and asked in a trembling voice, "Didn't you have your eye on this piece? Why did you buy that one?"
Chen Hao chuckled softly, a slight smile playing on his lips. "This rough stone is what I've been eyeing from the very beginning."
Right, Singapore?
“Yes, Brother Hao initially had his eye on this rough stone.” Gu Xingzhou deliberately answered loudly, looking at Fatty Liu with a mocking gaze.
"Ah, impossible!" Fatty Liu shouted, "This rough stone will definitely yield green jade!"
He cannot afford to lose; if he does, he will be homeless and burdened with enormous debt.
Thinking of this, his bloodshot eyes stared intently at the stone.
But after grinding for a long time, no green appeared at all, and he felt very uneasy.
At this moment, the stone cutter stopped what he was doing and asked, "Do you want it cut in the middle?"
Based on his experience, this piece of rough jade is most likely a dud.
Fatty Liu roared, "Don't cut it, grind it!"
"If the middle part is jade, will you compensate me?!"
Looking at the madman Liu, Boss Tang turned to the stone-cutting master and instructed, "Cut it from the middle. If it turns out to be green, I'll compensate you."
Upon hearing this, the stone cutter operated the machine and made a cut down to the middle.
With one slash, a white expanse appeared. Looking at the stones scattered on the ground, Fatty Liu felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
He muttered to himself, "Impossible, how could this be?"
How could it collapse?
Just then, Chen Hao instructed another stone cutter, "I need to cut this piece of rough stone as well."
Hearing this voice, Fatty Liu looked up and glared angrily at Chen Hao, "Did you set a trap for me?"
