2091 Words
Regarding Qian Guang's arrogance, Fei Feizhu Zhu gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Qian Guang, you have guts, huh? Fine, gambling with stones? I'll watch you gamble."
Fat Pig Zhu finished speaking and shouted at the people below, "Go down and watch, no one is allowed to come up, damn it."
After hearing this, Sha Qiang called people to come downstairs. Fat Pig Zhu wanted to surround this place, not letting anyone come up. I knew he was coming for me, but I wasn't afraid. As long as I had money, Fat Pig Zhu couldn't hurt me.
I took the stone and placed it on the table. I said, "Brother Guang, let's bet on this piece. This material is good. It will be a card piece. Look at this window; it has color inside, with a melon skin green base leaning towards blue. This material, if we bet on a floating color card piece, from the outside, it can't have cracks inside, and the base color is not messy. A card piece is at least 300,000. For such a large
Qian Guang nodded and said, "Boss Wei, how much is this piece of material?"
Boss Wei smiled and said, "Brother Guang is a straightforward person, so I'll give you the lowest price. The material weighs nineteen kilograms, it's the kind that can hurt your pride, the market price is at least ten million, but since it's an open window, it has to be doubled, so twenty million is the lowest."
When Qian Guang heard the twenty million, he frowned and said, "Just twenty million has arrived, but the bet is a bit too big..."
I said, "Brother Guang, the material is good material. I'm not even talking about full color. If it were full color, it could sell for 60 million. Do you believe me?"
Qian Guang listened and nodded, saying, "Brother Zhao Fei, I naturally trust your words. Alright, Boss Wei, please prepare the bill for me. I'll pay by bank transfer. Here's my card."
Qian Guang handed his card to Boss Wei, but Fat Pig Zhu stood up and said with a smile, "Qian Guang, last time you meddled and caused me a loss of twenty million. It's truly karma. Today it's my turn. Boss Wei, I'll take this piece. I'll offer twenty-one million..."
Boss Wei laughed and said, "Fat Pig Zhu, you divorced Miss Ma, do you have that much money?"
Fat Pig Zhu listened and got very angry, glaring at Boss Wei, saying, "Hmph, Boss Wei, you really have a dog’s eyes looking at people, huh? I can still live without leaving Malan, and I can still come up with twenty million."
Boss Wei said, "Alright, in business, we value integrity. You give me money, I sell you goods, but the highest bidder wins. Brother Guang, do you have any objections?"”
Qian Guang said, "I have no objections. I want to see if Boss Zhang really has this capability. I'll put in twenty-five million..."
"Qian Guang, how long have you been in business? Do you have this kind of money?""One should act within their means," Fat Pig Zhu mocked.
Qian Guang patted my shoulder and said, "I have a good brother who has already won me over twenty million. Do you think I can afford to play?"
After Qian Guang finished speaking, he glared at Fat Pig Zhu, his expression turning ugly. Now was the time to make a move, and I sensed a different change in the atmosphere.
Fat Pig Zhu stared at Qian Guang and said, "Alright, so you're going to fight me to the end, huh? Fine, Qian Guang, let's see who will have the last laugh. Thirty million, I don't believe you can come up with more."
Qian Guang said, "Three thousand two..."
Fat Pig Zhu listened and frowned. I knew he was considering it. Right now, spending money is a bit risky; thirty million is already a lot. I believe that with Fat Pig Zhu's ability, thirty million is about right. Moreover, the value of this material is around forty million. I don't know if Fat Pig Zhu will still go along with it. If he gives up, then everything I've done will be in vain.
"Three thousand five..." Fat Pig Zhu thought for a long time before finally saying this number.
Qian Guang frowned, didn't say anything, but swallowed, and Fat Pig Zhu started laughing, saying, "Dare to follow?"
Qian Guang walked to the chair and sat down without saying a word. Fat Pig Zhu arrogantly said, "I knew you didn't have that much money, Boss Wei. Give me the bill."
Boss Wei chuckled, returned the card to Qian Guang, but said, "Fat Pig Zhu, cash on delivery, card or cash?"
Fat Pig Zhu was a bit angry and said, "With my reputation, do you think I would run away?"
"Sorry, Fat Pig Zhu, your face isn't worth thirty-five million." Boss Wei said without any courtesy.
"Damn it, Boss Wei, you better remember your words," Fat Pig Zhu said coldly, then made a phone call.
I heard that Fat Pig Zhu is borrowing money everywhere, all in millions. Hearing this, I felt relieved. Thirty-five million should be his bottom line; he doesn't have that much money. But this is just right; I want to see how he turns things around.
We waited for over an hour, and many people came, all bringing cash. Fat Pig Zhu pushed the cash in front of Boss Wei and said, "This is ten million in cash, and this is my card, which has twenty million in it. Count it."
Boss Wei chuckled and said, "That's only natural..."
Fat Pig Zhu was fuming, but didn't say a word. Instead, he sat on the side waiting while Boss Wei counted the money with a money counter. I estimate it will take a while.
"Zhao Fei, a person must be loyal and steadfast. Playing both sides is a major taboo in the underworld. Wait a moment, and I'll teach you a lesson. This lesson will be enough for you to remember for a lifetime," Fat Pig Zhu said coldly.
I looked at Fat Pig Zhu; he probably wanted to kill me at this point, but before I could say anything, Qian Guang said, "No need for Boss Zhang to take action, my brother, I will educate him."
Fat Pig Zhu snorted but didn't say anything. At this moment, Boss Wei finished counting the money and said, "Fat Pig Zhu, we've counted it. The goods are yours now. Do you want my people to be cut?"
"Nonsense, am I supposed to do it myself? Get me the most reliable master," Fat Pig Zhu said angrily.
Boss Wei nodded, still wearing that conciliatory expression. He said, "Master Liu, go ahead."
Fat Pig Zhu pointed at me and said, "How to cut, say..."
I looked at the stone and said, "This piece is best suited for betting on a bracelet. The open window has color and a good base, so let's make a cut there. If the color goes in, the piece will break even. If the color inside is better, then we'll make a profit. If the base is cleaner, then doubling the value of this piece is not a problem."
Fat Pig Zhu said, "Cut it in the middle..."
The master originally wanted to say something, but Boss Wei squinted and shook his head, so the master fell silent, took the stone, and placed it on the cutting machine. Soon, I heard the sound of the cutting machine grinding the stone. I couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Fat Pig Zhu, let's see if you're lucky or not. If you're lucky, I'll just play around; if you're not, you're finished.
The stone was being cut little by little, and I watched the sparks flying from the stone. I didn't dodge; instead, I waited amidst the sparks, my blood boiling, waiting for that moment to come. Fat Pig Zhu, you brought all this upon yourself...
Fat Pig Zhu sipped his tea confidently and said, "Qian Guang, you know, a person needs to have strength. You clearly know that Zhao Fei picked all top-notch materials, but you have no money, so what can you do? You can only watch me take the materials away. But remember, this is just the beginning. Even without Seventh Master, I can still do it. Just wait and see how I will surpass Seventh Master in the future."
Fat Pig Zhu's words were very plain, but the plainer they were, the more they reflected his inner ruthlessness. Everyone silently watched the material, all waiting for it to create a miracle. After he finished speaking, the material opened.
Fat Pig Zhu looked on nervously, when suddenly the master said, "Oh no, it's the water bubbles again, the water bubbles again..."
When I heard my master's words, I clenched my fists tightly and sneered. Sure enough, it was still the same old trick. Haha, this is the kind of material that can get stuck. High color, but also a lot of water bubbles. Fat Pig Zhu, you're done for.
Fat Pig Zhu stood up, walked over a bit nervously, looked at the feed, and asked anxiously, "What do you mean? What do you mean?"
I looked at the fat pig Zhu and said, "The material is finished, the outside is all surface color, and the inside is just water foam, which is a kind of worthless material. This size can probably sell for around a hundred thousand..."
"What? Over a hundred thousand? You motherfucker, I spent thirty-five million just to get over a hundred thousand? Are you kidding me?" Fat Pig Zhu shouted crazily at me.
I looked at his bloodshot eyes and knew he was furious to the extreme. I said, "I'm sorry, Boss Zhang, but that's how gambling works—there are wins and losses. I've said it before."
Fat Pig Zhu grabbed me and said, "You bastard, I'll kill you, I'll kill you..."
Qian Guang said, "Send Old Master Zhang on his way."
After Qian Guang finished speaking, I saw Qian Laowu give a cold smile. He walked over with Zhuzi, who punched Fat Pig Zhu, making him bend over, and Qian Laowu stuffed a cloth into his mouth. The two of them acted in perfect harmony. Then Zhuzi grabbed Fat Pig Zhu and headed towards the elevator. Shiqiang wanted to intervene, but before he could say anything, Qian Laowu made a shushing gesture to him, scaring Sh
At this moment, Qian Guang stood up, buttoned his suit, took a thick stack of money from Boss Wei, and threw it in front of Sha Qiang, saying, "This is your money to run away. Your boss is finished. If you know what's good for you, get lost. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
After Qian Guang finished speaking, he beckoned me with his hand. I numbly and confusedly followed him. We all got into the elevator, and the moment the elevator doors closed, I still didn't know what was going to happen, but I felt it wouldn't be a good thing.
Wang Gui pressed the button for the top floor. The Dachang Jade Shop has more than thirty floors. What could he possibly want on the top floor?I watched the struggling Fat Pig Zhu, but Zhuzi's hand gripped him like a vice, not allowing him to move. Suddenly, the door opened, and we walked out. The two of them pulled Fat Pig Zhu out and then pressed him against the railing.
I watched, a bit dumbfounded, as Qian Guang said, "Zhao Fei, whatever he did to you, you can return the favor now. Send him on his way."
I was a bit dazed, and I said, "You want me to kill someone?"
Qian Guang said, "Many people have jumped off buildings after losing money in gambling stones; he committed suicide."
Qian Guang's words were very calm, but they made me feel a bone-deep fear. Yes, this is Qian Guang, this is him...
I shook my head. I wouldn't kill anyone. Even though Fat Pig Zhu had insulted me, I still wouldn't kill him. Qian Guang looked at me and said, "A man must be ruthless..."
I shook my head, I resisted, suddenly, I saw Wang Gui walking over, lifting the fat pig Zhu's foot, and said, "My boss's hands are clean, I'll handle the dirty work..."
He said they just lifted Fat Pig Zhu up, and I watched as Fat Pig Zhu just flew down...
"No..."
