Villain: With God-tier Choices, I Suppressed The Protagonist

Stone Gambling

“You don’t want antiques? Then why are you going to the antique market?”

Hearing Luo Chen’s words, everyone in the room was a little puzzled.

Luo Chen continued, “I heard that there’s a new batch of goods in the antique center recently. They’re raw stones brought here from Burma.”

Antiques were not the target, but jade!

This was because even if they obtained an antique, it would be difficult to sell it in a short period of time unless they met a suitable buyer.

On the other hand, jade was different. There would almost always be people who were willing to buy it as long as the quality of the jade was good!

“Are you planning to gamble on jade?” Zheng Zeqiang asked.

Luo Chen nodded. “Yes, it’ll be Grandpa’s birthday soon. If we’re lucky, we can send a piece of carved jade to congratulate him.”

“President Luo, investing in jade is not any better than investing in the US stock market! Very few people can earn back their capital by doing this.”

Zheng Zeqiang said anxiously.

This was because the price of buying raw stones could amount to tens of millions, and for raw stones that could produce jade, it would be good if there were two or three out of 100 stones.

This was not even considering the quality of the jade. If the quality of the jade was poor, the return might be only a few thousand yuan.

When the time comes, they might end up spending a lot.

At that time, it would be good if they could break even.

Seeing this, the other executives also persuaded.

“President Luo, why don’t we find another way to earn money? No one can tell if jade will make a profit or a loss.”

“You should consider it again. A relative of mine went bankrupt because of stone gambling.”

“Why don’t we buy some small business shares? They’re cheap and the return cycle is short.”

These people were all worried that Luo Chen would be in a hurry to earn money and spend everything. In the end, he would still suffer a loss.

Zhao Ruoshuang did not understand.

How could someone as shrewd as Luo Chen think of gambling under such circumstances?

Zhao Ruoshuang also advised, “Luo Chen, there are many ways to earn money. Don’t be in a hurry to gamble.”

Luo Chen only smiled and did not respond.

At this moment, Ye Bei saw this scene and knew that his chance had come again.

He knew more about jade. If he wanted good goods, the safest way was to go to Burma to talk to the local big jade vendors.

Not all of the stones that the Burmese people brought to the antique center were duds. Well, at least 90% of the stones were duds.

Most importantly, if one did not have very rich professional knowledge, they would definitely lose everything!

Worried that Luo Chen would be dissuaded by these people, he hurriedly stopped them.

“Why don’t we believe in President Luo? I’ve also heard about the supplier of this batch of jade. The probability of producing jade from the raw stones they sold previously is very high!

Moreover, with President Luo’s judgment, he will definitely be able to pick out valuable jade!”

Actually, Ye Bei had never heard of this batch of jade at all. To Luo Chen, it would just be flattery!

When a few executives heard Ye Bei’s words, they scolded him angrily on the spot, and the two sides started arguing in the private room.

Seeing everyone arguing over the jade, Luo Chen’s heart did not waver.

Since he had this thought, he was definitely confident in obtaining the real jade.

This was because other than the True Heart Talisman, there were also some Good Luck Talismans among the mysterious talismans given by the System.

As long as he stuck this talisman on a target, that person’s luck would be extremely good!

Unfortunately, the Good Luck Talisman had a flaw. It was useless to stick it on one’s body. It had to be stuck on others.

Therefore, Luo Chen planned to bring someone along when the time came. At that time, he would paste a good luck charm on him. Hence, why would he be afraid that he would not be able to find jade?

At this thought, Luo Chen turned to look at Zhao Ruoshuang. “President Zhao, are you interested in accompanying me to look at the raw stones?”

“Me?” Zhao Ruoshuang thought for a moment and said, “Alright, when?”

Seeing that Luo Chen did not listen to anyone’s opinion at all, Zhao Ruoshuang was helpless.

Since she could not dissuade him now, she could only ask Luo Chen to buy less and test the waters first.

“We shall go together after you have rested for two days.”

“Okay.”

Seeing that Luo Chen had already made his decision, the high-level executives did not dissuade him anymore.

At this moment, Ye Bei was overjoyed.

As Luo Chen’s bodyguard, he would definitely be able to follow him to witness the stone gambling. At that time, with a little encouragement, Luo Chen would definitely spend all his money!

After a while, everyone finished eating and left the restaurant one after another.

Ye Bei drove Luo Chen back to the manor.

…

Two days later.

Ye Bei drove Luo Chen to a high-end apartment.

Zhao Ruoshuang, who was standing outside, saw Luo Chen’s car and walked over to sit in the back.

“President Zhao, you’re dressed very youthfully today.”

...

Luo Chen was also sitting in the back. He saw Zhao Ruoshuang wearing a white dress, like a princess in a fairy tale.

“I can’t dress too formally when we’re going shopping, right?”

Zhao Ruoshuang looked out of the window.

Sitting so close to Luo Chen, she felt a little shy.

Luo Chen nodded. “Indeed, this dress looks better.”

As Ye Bei drove, he watched the two of them sitting together and chatting, and he felt extremely depressed.

He had never even touched Zhao Ruoshuang’s hand!

All the benefits had been taken by that bastard, Luo Chen!

He drove in silence and soon arrived at the antique center.

After parking the car, the three of them walked into the antique center.

This antique center was very large. There were long wooden tables in front of the stall owners. They were covered with a layer of cloth and all kinds of antiques were displayed on them.

...

Because the length of the wooden tables were the same, the entire antique center looked very neat.

At the same time, there was also a large sign indicating the type of items sold.

There were calligraphy, ceramic, bronze, and so on.

At the back was the jade area.

There were many people who came to visit the antique center. Luo Chen and the other two shuttled through the crowd and went straight to the jade area.

Because the tables could not withstand the weight of the raw stones, the merchants in the jade area placed the raw stones on the ground.

At the same time, there would be a cutting machine placed in front. As long as someone bought the stones, they could be opened on the spot.

“Friends! Come and take a look at my raw stones. The probability of finding jade inside is very high!”

“Come to me! I’ve opened a rare jade before!”

“My stones will definitely let you turn a profit!”

When these jade merchants saw Luo Chen and the other two, they immediately shouted.

The reason why they were so enthusiastic was because they were only open for business once a year. And when they do open for business, they would make sure they earn an entire year’s worth of money in one shot.

When Luo Chen passed by these peddlers, he did not stop at all.

This was because they had too few raw stones.

There were only dozens or hundreds of pieces in total. If his picks all turned out to have jade, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Ye Bei, who was following behind, sneered.

He had seen a few good-looking raw stones with his own eyes, but the trash Luo Chen did not notice them at all.

It seemed like he would suffer a huge loss today!

Just as Ye Bei was thinking about this, Luo Chen stopped.

“Little Brother, do you want to gamble on stones?”

The boss had a handlebar mustache and a cigarette in his mouth.

His name was Hu Cheng, and he was the largest raw stone dealer in the antique center.

Luo Chen looked at the stones behind him. The smallest was about the size of a fist, and the largest was about the height of a human.

However, the main point was that there were hundreds of raw stones in this shop. It was obvious that this was the largest stall in the vicinity.

“This is it.”
