Chapter 104: Ten Bets Nine Losses

  Wang Luoyao found that Zhang Yang was not as difficult to get along with as she had imagined, and her personality became more lively. She asked: "Boss, tell me, is the stone we saw earlier a jade?"

  "How come you want to gamble, and also like jade?" Zhang Yang said.

  Wang Luoyao curiously sized up the woolen goods on the shelves and said, "Who doesn't like it? Last time I saw a jade bracelet in a jewelry store, that bracelet was said to be flawless with full green color, one costs over three million."

  Zhang Yang stopped in his tracks and asked, "How much did you say that bracelet was?"

  "What's wrong with 30 million?" Wang Luoyao asked in confusion.

  Zhang Yang felt his mind was a bit confused and asked: "You said that jade bracelet is full green?"

  "Hmm, the salesperson introduced it that way. Saying something about ice-green jade, and saying that even the hollowed-out bangle leftovers were made into pendants, each one costing 200,000 to 300,000. Boss, are you kidding me? You don't even know the price of a jade stone?" Wang Luyao looked at Zhang Yang in confusion.

  Zhang Yang silently calculated in his mind, the piece of fur earlier was about two to three adult fist-sized, full green. If it's like Wang Luyao said earlier, after unraveling that piece of fur, wouldn't it be enough to make seven or eight bracelets and over ten pendants? How much would that be worth?

  Over 20 million!

  He came up with this number and Zhang Yang was shocked, no wonder they say that gambling on rocks is a knife-edge between poverty and wealth!

  This piece of wool is enough to make a family worry-free for generations, no wonder so many people are flocking to it. Calculating this number, Zhang Yang was also not calm, if he could get his hands on that piece of wool just now, his assets would exceed 50 million and take a step towards becoming a billionaire.

  Zhang Yang looked at Wang Luoyao with gratitude, fortunately bringing her along, otherwise that priceless jade would have slipped away from him, and by the time he found out about it, his intestines would have regretted it.

  "Boss, what do you mean by looking at me like that?" Wang Luoyao took a step back warily and said: "I'm not just anyone, of course if you give me a jade bracelet, everything can be negotiated."

  At first she was still very serious, but later on her greedy nature was revealed.

  Zhang Yang rolled his eyes, the little gratitude he had just now vanished into thin air. He said in a bad tone: "A bracelet is out of the question, I'll get you a pendant if I have the chance!"

  "Really!" Wang Luyao exclaimed in surprise.

  "Hmm, little pendant, don't expect too much." Zhang Yang said.

  Consider it as returning a favor to this woman, she helped herself earn tens of millions, and she should at least give her some benefits, who knows when she might need this woman again! Through what happened earlier, Zhang Yang discovered that this mistress was not useless after all. Just from the conversation earlier, it wasn't a waste that he used his ability to spy on them being intimate. It seems that sometimes spying isn't a bad thing, and it might even bring unexpected surprises!

  Knowing the value of the piece of wool just now, Zhang Yang naturally wouldn't let it go and made another mark on the label.

  "Boss, you're too good." Wang Luoyao leaned her whole body towards Zhang Yang.

  "Don't tempt me, it's useless, go ahead and take a look, there are so many people there, it seems like there's good stuff!" Zhang Yang said.

  Wang Luyu hummed and thought to herself: You little rascal, you're still pretending to be a good person after the way you behaved last night.

  As I walked into the crowd, I saw over a dozen people surrounding a large piece of stone, staring at it in awe. The stone was enormous, weighing around 400-500 kilograms, with a smooth surface similar to that of a goose egg. What's remarkable about this stone is that some parts of it, possibly due to transportation or accidental damage, were emitting a faint green glow.

  Hearing people next to him discussing it, Zhang Yang knew that the price of this woolen material wouldn't be low.

  "Look! The python skin, the suede, everything is here. The surface has been worn out quite a bit, but you can still see that the stone pattern is very dense. It's strange how such good leather ended up in this state?"

  "I don't know, I've heard it's a piece of ancestral wool fabric."

  "This is an heirloom, why don't you unravel such good wool?!"

  "I don't know about that."

  Zhang Yang still wanted to continue listening, to see if they would say that this piece of wool was worth how much money if it came out as jade. Wang Luoyao asked inappropriately: "Boss, there's green on the outside, so there must be jade inside, let's buy it!"

  The person who was speaking earlier heard someone talking behind him, turned around and glanced at the two of them with disdain, saying: "Nouveau riche."

  "Big spenders, what's wrong with that? I've got the money to buy it, no need to just look and not buy like you guys."

  Zhang Yang didn't say a word, letting Wang Luoyao attract the hatred, using his special ability to look inside this piece of wool, originally he had great expectations, because these people were all experienced jade gambling experts, much stronger than himself who was clueless.

  The fact, however, was a great disappointment to Zhang Yang. This large piece of fur, except for the green light that shone through in some places and a thin layer of jadeite, had nothing else. It was all white and could be said to be a loss for whoever bought it.

  After taking a look at the place where the green light was exposed, and then looking at the situation inside the wool, Zhang Yang became suspicious and wondered how it could be so coincidental that only the place with jade was exposed?

  At this time, Wang Luyao and the man's argument also came to an end. The middle-aged man in front made way for a position: "If you can afford it, then buy it."

  Wang Luyu looked back in confusion, and on it was the auction price. Seeing the price above, Wang Luyu suddenly couldn't speak.

  He decided to give up at the first time, as for whether that green was intentional or accidental, he didn't have the mind to care, as long as he didn't make himself lose money, whoever wanted to be cheated could go ahead. However, he was also curious about the price of this piece of wool, so he walked a few steps forward and stood with Wang Luoyao to take a look.

  "One million! Not high at all!" Zhang Yang said.

  Such a large piece of wool, if there is jade inside, the price is really cheap. The small piece of wool I just looked at costs 200,000 yuan.

  "Boss, you've miscounted, it's ten million." Wang Luoyao said.

  Zhang Yang was taken aback and carefully counted again, indeed it was 10 million. No wonder these people looked at it with enthusiasm, but no one shouted to buy, even if there was jade inside, the price of this wool fabric was enough to make most people hesitant.

  "Come on, this woolen fabric doesn't suit us!" Zhang Yang said.

  Wang Luoyao's face was somewhat gloomy as she followed Zhang Yang out.

  Those people who just saw Zhang Yang shake his head and leave with a cold smile, one by one, and someone said: "I really thought he was a nouveau riche, but it turns out that he can't even be considered a nouveau riche."

  "She's just a mistress of a rich man."

  "Haha, I'm afraid it's not even worth being a mistress, at most just a small third!"

  "Everyone in the village lifted her up, no one knows which family she belongs to."

  These words were all directed at Wang Luyao, who let Wang Luyao speak without mercy just now.

  Zhang Yang was thinking about the miserable situation of the wool fabric just now, and didn't notice the discussions around him. Wang Luyao listened with a tight lower lip, almost biting her mouth to bleed.

  "Boss, can you afford that piece of wool?" Wang Luoyao suddenly asked.

  "It's affordable to buy it, but what's the point of buying it? Tens of millions are just a waste of money, I don't have that much money to burn!" Zhang Yang said casually.

  Wang Luyao only heard Zhang Yang say that it was affordable, and ignored what came after.

  Zhang Yang didn't notice the slight change in Wang Luyao's expression, and even if he did, he wouldn't think much of it. What was most important to him were the woolen goods and jade, so he began searching for other larger pieces of woolen goods everywhere.

  However, at this time he no longer mixed with the crowd, and found that those so-called gambling consultants were nothing more than that, far inferior to his own abilities, and it was better to observe quietly on his own.

  For a period of time, Zhang Yang verified a sentence, what is meant by "ten bets and nine losses". Among the ten pieces of wool, only two or three have jade, and this is still considered to be one of the best companies in Beijing for having good wool.

  These wool fabrics all made Zhang Yang feel somewhat disheartened. All the ones with jade came from so-called top ten famous pits, just like the introduction in the catalog said, and were not cheap, with most starting at 100,000 yuan.

  This is still the bottom price, and when it comes to bidding, this price will definitely not be able to buy it. In other words, a piece of jadeite material will cost 300,000 to 400,000 yuan after being auctioned off, and according to Zhang Yang's experience in selling jadeite twice, it would only be worth around 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. Calculating this way completely goes against Zhang Yang's interests. With his current appetite, he is no longer the person who couldn't sleep at night after winning a few thousand yuan from the lottery a few months ago.
