Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Liu, Guan, and Zhang Reincarnate, Wealthy Tycoons Cry Poverty!
Just as everyone was about to offer their congratulations, Gu Zhonglun completely opened the stone.
And with this action, his dreams were shattered.
Indeed, the stone did have jadeite inside, but within it were dozens of large and small cracks.
These cracks spread throughout the jadeite, clearly rendering the stone worthless!
"What a pity, if not for these cracks this stone could have increased in value several times!"
"Tch tch, really can't celebrate too early, now look, it's a total loss!"
"I'm itching to try, I also want to slice open a stone!"
Gu Zhonglun stood there stunned, the cracks in the jadeite filling his mind—how could this be... how could he have chosen wrongly!
The surface of the stone looked very smooth, according to the books, there should have been no mistakes!!!
Why in the world is this happening!!!
"Gu, is this the treasure you chose for me?"
The employer asked with a gloomy expression. The stone was not cheap, costing over 3 million, which amounted to a week's turnover for his company. Although it wasn't a lot of money, what made it worse was that Gu Zhonglun had been boastful about how good this stone was!
Now, he not only faced a financial loss but also humiliation in front of all the wealthy elite!
"I... I..."
Gu Zhonglun was at a loss for words, knowing he had already made a name for himself in the clubhouse, but not in a good way.
A good stone with cracks inside—who could have imagined?
One could only blame it all on bad luck, yet ironically, 90% of the owners playing here believe in luck, and they wouldn't hire someone who would bring them bad fortune.
"Hmph! I actually need to have a serious talk with the person in charge of your club, to ask why the stone that your expert said would increase in value made me lose money instead!"
The employer left the stone-unveiling area coldly, his arm around his young girlfriend, while Gu Zhonglun sat down on the ground, on the verge of tears.
Soon, security personnel came over and took Gu Zhonglun away.
"Even immortals can't predict the quality of jade, I really witnessed this several times today!"
"Gong Lao's stone didn't increase in value as it should have, this young man's stone caused losses when it shouldn't have, and Gu's good stone is filled with cracks, hehe, I'm definitely going to be more cautious with stone gambling from now on."
"But honestly, why do we have to trust these experts when we come to gamble? I find them pretty average, and besides, isn't stone gambling all about luck? We worked our way up from penniless youth to where we are now, isn't that proof that we have lots of luck? Why not choose ourselves?"
This comment received much agreement from the wealthy crowd.
Song Yun soon revealed another side, and as the attendant splashed water over it, his heart stopped for an instant!
Black... black jadeite???
Holy shit!!!!
Turns out, this stone actually has two colors!
One should know that the chances of double-colored jadeite coexisting within one raw stone are extremely slim. In nearly a hundred years of stone gambling, only a handful of instances had been heard of, and today he had stumbled upon one, and moreover, he had revealed it with his own hands!
My God! If this time's bonus is less than 100,000, he'd dare to make a scene in the general manager's office!
"It's increased in value! A stone with two colors! Congratulations to the boss, very auspicious and profitable!"
The attendant roared excitedly to the crowd, "The second color is black jadeite! Green intermingled with black, worth over a hundred million!"
"Hisss!!!"
A chorus of sharp intakes of breath could be heard throughout the crowd. Had they heard wrong???
Double-colored stone???
Holy shit, is that even a thing?
When the black side was exposed to the crowd, everyone's gaze was captivated, it was just too beautiful!
The black wasn't a pure black, but with a hint of dark hue, making this side look incredibly mysterious.
"What an eye-opener! I'm going to brag to my friends when I get back, hahaha my luck today is truly great!"
"What are you laughing at? Did you open this stone?"
"So what if I didn't? I have money, I can buy it! Little brother, I'm willing to offer 100 million to purchase the bicolor jadeite from you!"
"Damn, I'll offer 110 million, little brother, sell it to me!"
The shock this stone brought to everyone was incomparable. In an instant, the entire clubhouse knew about this news, and some people who were chatting elsewhere called their friends over to watch.
"Once in a century..."
Song Yun licked his lips; he originally thought that seeing it in advance with his Perspective Eyes was nothing special, but the moment it was really opened, he realized how beautiful it was!
"Husband... I'm not dreaming, right...?"
Ye Qingqing looked at Song Yun with a dazed expression, looking extremely adorable.
Song Yun smiled and pinched Ye Qingqing's cheek, saying, "We've made a huge profit today!"
"Husband, you're so amazing! Do you have 'Perspective Eyes'?"
Ye Qingqing's words made Song Yun feel a bit embarrassed; how could she just wildly guess, and yet each time, she was so accurate—was this really a woman's sixth sense?
"Boss, there's one more side. Shall we continue?"
The server lit a cigarette to take a break, as polishing the stone was truly exhausting.
"Continue!"
Hearing that Song Yun wanted to go on, people already started to persuade him en mass.
"Brother, I'm begging you as an elder brother! Please don't open it anymore, the bicolor stone is already very precious!"
"Yeah! What if you find a crack in it later on, wouldn't that just be disgusting?"
"Don't jinx it! I'm still waiting to buy it!"
Song Yun asked Huang Baoding to take a card to the front desk to exchange for sixty thousand in cash. He placed the six stacks of money in front of the server and smiled, "Keep going. This is my tip. If it goes up more later on, there will be a reward."
The server felt the cash, and suddenly his back didn't ache and his legs didn't feel sore. He stood up excitedly, ready to continue.
"Ah... it's killing me! Why won't he listen to advice!"
"Ah, young man, don't open it anymore! I'm willing to offer 150 million!"
"Forget it, it's his stone, to be honest, I'm quite curious to see what it looks like when it's fully revealed!"
The machine continued to grind away, and after about half an hour of anxious waiting by the crowd...
The third side was completely polished.
The server sat on the ground, muttering to himself, "How could this be... how could this be..."
It's over!!!
That was what everyone was thinking; a once-a-century bicolor stone was ruined!
The server rubbed his eyes in disbelief, quickly stood up, and touched the yet-to-be-revealed third side, his lips gradually drooling.
"It's up, it's up, tricolor stone! I could die without regrets in my life now!"
"What??"
The crowd was shocked. Tricolor stone? What was the third color???
They restrained their excitement, waiting for the server to turn over the third color.
The server was extremely careful, as if the slightest mistake would ruin the artwork before him.
When the third color appeared in everyone's sight, the wealthy attendees completely lost their composure!
"Red jade! Damn!!!"
"Oh my God, you've been good to me, to let me encounter the three colors of Liu, Guan, and Zhang in my lifetime!"
"I... I can't afford it! Waaa, the tricolor jadeite is too beautiful, but I'm too poor to buy it!!!"
