Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Ten Million Secured_1

"Do you think that’s too little? If you think it’s not enough, betting ten million is also fine," Liu Chao said with a chuckle as he saw Shen Dong’s expression.

"Sure, let’s make it ten million!" Shen Dong immediately nodded.

Not only was he handing over a million, but he was also about to throw in ten million.

Worried that Liu Chao would back out, Shen Dong promptly agreed.

"Uh..."

Now Liu Chao was the one taken aback.

He had only said it casually, just to show off and humiliate Shen Dong.

Because in his eyes, Shen Dong definitely wouldn’t dare to agree.

But to his surprise, Shen Dong had accepted so readily.

The problem was, Liu Chao didn’t have ten million himself.

He had invested all his money in the stock market last time, and he really couldn’t come up with that much cash at the moment.

Now it was getting a bit awkward.

However, since he’d already said it and put on the act, he had to keep it up no matter what.

"Good, Let’s bet ten million. Whoever loses gives the other person ten million," Liu Chao said with a laugh.

In his mind, there was no way he could lose.

When it came to gambling with him, Shen Dong was only going to be giving money away.

After all, they didn’t need to put up ten million before the bet.

This was like getting something for nothing.

This Shen Dong, what an idiot, just gifting me money.

If you’re just going to waste your wealth on reckless investments, might as well give it to me.

Haha!

Liu Chao was already laughing inside, looking at Shen Dong as if he were a fat sheep ready for the taking.

And this maneuver would also allow him to step all over Shen Dong in front of Chen Yuting, feeling incredibly exhilarating.

"By the way, Shen Dong, we need to set a limit," Liu Chao suddenly thought of something.

"What kind of limit?" Shen Dong asked with interest.

No matter what the condition was, he wasn’t afraid; he had the master skill of identifying treasures, capable of beating Liu Chao in a matter of minutes.

The moment they started betting, the opponent was already doomed to lose.

"That is, when we choose raw stones, we can’t pick those valued over a million, according to the invoice," Liu Chao said.

He had no choice; the only money he had on him was a million.

And that million was begged and wheedled from his old man.

The last time, his father had suffered a huge loss in Yaolai Technology, and he wasn’t as generous with money as before.

It was only because he said he would come here to gamble on jade stones and could potentially make a few million back that his father gave him a million.

His father knew his level in jade stone gambling and that it was indeed possible for him to bring back a few million, so he gave him the million.

If he didn’t set a limit, and Shen Dong chose those multimillion-dollar raw stones, that would be problematic.

You know, the higher the value of the raw stone, the higher the probability of jadeite appearing, as some are appraised by experts.

If Shen Dong bought such raw stones, then it would be all over.

"Alright," Shen Dong had no objections.

Any restriction was practically meaningless to him.

There were plenty of raw stones under a million to choose from.

Next, the two went to the notary office to sign an agreement.

Of course, they couldn’t sign a gambling agreement because gambling agreements, even if taken to court, would not be recognized by the court.

Instead, they signed two loan agreements, with Shen Dong as the lender on one and Liu Chao as the lender on the other.

The agreement also stated that the money must be returned to the other party today, or else a substantial penalty for breach of contract would apply.

If Shen Dong won, the notary office would retain the agreement with Shen Dong as the lender and give it to Shen Dong, and the one with Liu Chao as the lender would be shredded.

The reverse is also true.

Since the agreement is notarized by the notary office, nobody has to worry about the other party defaulting on the debt. If someone does default, they can be taken directly to court, and there’s no way to escape it.

Both of them signed their names and stamped their fingerprints.

After leaving the notary office, they went their separate ways to select raw jade stones.

"Liu Chao, are you confident?"

Chen Yuting felt that Shen Dong was somewhat too calm; betting ten million as if he was not treating money as money.

Even if Shen Dong had made money in the futures market, he shouldn’t be spending it like this.

This made her feel as if Shen Dong was very confident about this gamble.

"Yuting, I’ve been dealing with gambling on stones since my university days. I’ve told you before, I’ve made several million from it."

"Has that Shen Dong ever gambled on stones before? He used to be a poor sod relying on luck to make some money, and now he squanders it recklessly. How could he possibly be my opponent?"

"His ten million, I’m set on winning it today. Don’t worry, once I win his ten million, you’ll have played a part, and I’ll help you repay your debt."

Liu Chao was no longer fixated on whether Shen Dong really had another ten million or not, if not, Shen Dong could also sell his house.

He had to pay up today, or else he’d have to pay a high penalty for breaking the contract, and selling a house definitely wouldn’t be quick enough. Perhaps he could even take this opportunity to get his hands on Shen Dong’s apartment, worth tens of millions, at a low price.

Thinking about this made Liu Chao even happier.

"Shen Dong hasn’t gambled on stones before." Chen Yuting was sure of this.

During their university years, Shen Dong had never mentioned doing anything related to gambling on stones.

"That’s right, if I can’t even beat him, I might as well have been living a dog’s life all these years," Liu Chao said with a laugh.

The two arrived in front of a shop.

This shop had raw jade stones of various sizes placed at its entrance.

Discerning with his own judgement, Liu Chao spent two hundred thousand to buy a piece of raw stone.

He planned to visit several shops and buy a few pieces that he liked and that were cheap; this would significantly increase the probability of cutting open a jade.

After browsing three shops, he bought three pieces of raw stone, spending a total of nine hundred and seventy thousand.

On Shen Dong’s side.

Shen Dong went to a shop and selected a piece of raw stone the size of a basin.

This was the piece he had his eye on while wandering around with everyone earlier.

The stone cost ninety-three thousand.

Shen Dong didn’t have as many thoughts as Liu Chao, he just bought this one piece.

After all, he was almost certain that the jade inside was of the highest quality and would absolutely crush Liu Chao.

"Mr. Shen, you’re only buying one piece? Isn’t it risky to put all your eggs in one basket like this? Selecting two or three pieces would give you a better chance of winning," Han Deming cautioned when he saw Shen Dong spend ninety-three thousand on a single piece of raw stone.

"No need, just this one. Gambling on stones is about winning and losing. There’s no need to take it too seriously. If I lose, I lose, it’s not a big deal," Shen Dong said with a smile.

"Only you, Mr. Shen, would dare to speak like that," Han Deming said with a wry smile.

This was, after all, a ten million bet. To say losing didn’t matter was something else.

He, the vice president of Jiecheng Auction, wouldn’t dare to make such a statement.

He had a yearly salary of several million and had just managed to accumulate wealth in the tens of millions.

To him, ten million was a lot.

"I have my eye on the piece Mr. Shen selected. Mr. Shen’s judgment has always been very good," Wu Jin said with a smile.

Just now, he had clashed with Liu Chao, calling Shen Dong’s judgment good, and now he was praising Shen Dong’s eye again, giving Shen Dong a lot of face.

"Heh, I’ll take that as a good omen coming from Mr. Wu," Shen Dong chuckled.

Only he knew that in this gamble, he was almost a hundred percent certain of winning.

Liu Chao was essentially coming to deliver money to him voluntarily.

After that, he and the others went to Jiecheng Auction’s jade repurchase point.

Conveniently, Chen Yuting and Liu Chao had also returned.

"Shen Dong, the raw stones I bought are all here, three pieces in total. Here is the invoice, with a total worth of nine hundred and seventy thousand," Liu Chao handed Shen Dong the invoice for him to check.

"Alright," Shen Dong took the invoice, glanced at it, and then gave it back to Liu Chao.
