Keen Zuo pointed at the raw gemstones there. “Jade stones are certain to be in there, but its qualities are uncertain. The rule is, two persons, respectively, choose one stone and estimate the purity of them. Winner will be the one who has chosen the purest and can distinguish its kind. Then, the two stones both belong to the winner.”
It was an exciting bet. Few pure jade stones were among those raw gemstones, but people would bet much money on taking the pure one.
“Good. Let me be the first. Ten million’s bet, who wants to have a try?” A bald man looked around. He seemed to be the kind that was crazy in gambling.
“Let me play with you.” A jeweler stood out.
People were excited to watch their bet. All wanted to see what kind of stones they could take.
Immediately, servants put there two desks and some tools for distinguishing.
“Do you need to ask for a master’s help? One hundred thousand yuan for one round, regardless of the results.” Keen was in a hurry to peddle the masters he had invited because he could take the shares of the master’s income here.
“I’d like to ask one.” The jeweler was swayed.
“Good. The four masters are all skilled, but you have to know that the bet is the bet. Even the most skilled master can’t guess the exact purity. So, don’t blame masters if you lose.” Keen warned.
“OK. Master, please help me. If I win, I’ll give you 200, 000 as a reward.” The jeweler nodded. He went to ask the leftmost master.
The bald man also invited a master.
“Master, if you win, I’ll give you 500, 000!” The bald man was so generous.
The jeweler frowned. Would the two masters cooperate to get a higher reward?
Keen also thought of it. ” The reward can’t be higher than 500, 000.”
The jeweler nodded and set his reward to 500, 000, as well.
Then the two masters respectively chose one stone. They touched the stones first, knocked it, and then felt it carefully.
About two minutes later, they took the magnifying glasses to observe it at the same time.
Almost after two more minutes, the master in the jeweler’s side said with confidence. “It’s a diamond in it, with a weight of about 500g.”
The diamond was worthless, but he had guessed the purity and kind.
Workers there took the stone and went to cut it.
People all stared at the stone with curiosities. Soon, a crystal jade stone was revealed.
It might be the diamond. Workers put it on the scales, 450g, approximate to 500g.
The jeweler took a sigh of relief. It was quite approximate. Now, it just needed to be distinguished as a diamond.
After a long time’s professional judgment, it was judged to be a crystal, not a diamond. But for its similarity, the master’s judgment was quite correct.
The jeweler seemed to already be the winner.
And the master gained respect from the crowd.
“Master, it’s all up to you.” The bald man was under great pressure, but he trusted his master would be excellent, too.
Soon, his master made the judgment, too. “It’s jadeite, about 250g.”
Then the workers began to cut, but the stone in it was not the same color as the jadeite.
The bald man was disappointed. His master even didn’t judge the kind right.
The stone was of 190g, 60g to 250g, and was an agate, not jadeite.
The bald man lost 10, 000, 000 in this round.
The jeweler was excited and gave 500, 000 to the master. “Master, please help me one more time.”
People around were intending to try, but they were afraid that the rest masters were inferior to this one.
Since Doug left, Chase didn’t want to stay, as well. He had no interest in bet and the auction later.
But just as he was about to leave, several businessmen went to the stage, followed by several masters.
“Mr. Zuo, it’s interesting. How about that I challenge your Jol City in this?” A lean man looked at Keen.
It was about a war between cities!
People looked at those businessmen with curiosity.
“It’s Gage Zhou from City Z! A jeweler who keeps a wealth of more than ten billion!”
“I’ve seen others in City Z, who are all wealthy men. What are they doing? Provoke us?”
People shouted under the stage.
Keen squinted. He knew these men and knew that Zhou’s Family was not inferior to his Zuo’s Family.
They came there with spite.
“What, don’t you dare to accept my challenge?” Gage looked around the people here, provoking.
And the other businessmen with him were laughing with mocks.
What a provocation it was!
