Chapter 104: Chapter 104 You Lost_1

"What about yours?" Liu Chao asked.

"This is the only one I chose," Shen Dong pointed to a washbasin-sized rough stone at his feet and showed the invoice to Liu Chao.

"You only picked one?" Liu Chao was somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, what about it?" Shen Dong asked.

"Shen Dong, I have to say, you really are a layman. It’s not just about gambling on stone, you don’t even understand probability. I really don’t know how you managed to get into university," Liu Chao said with a laugh.

Choosing more stones naturally increases the probability of cutting jadeite.

Shen Dong picking just one rough stone meant he was inherently at a disadvantage.

He didn’t believe that the rough stone chosen by Shen Dong would yield jadeite.

That’s how it is for someone from a small place, even after spending four years at a university in Hai City, their way of thinking hasn’t changed.

Liu Chao felt a fresh wave of disdain for Shen Dong in his heart.

"It doesn’t matter if I’m an amateur or not, the result is what’s most important," Shen Dong didn’t care about Liu Chao’s words.

He thought to himself that Liu Chao could still laugh now, but once his jadeite was cut, there would be no more laughter.

Not only would there be no laughter, but there would be nowhere for him to cry.

"Let’s start cutting then, shall we? You wanna go first, or should I?" Liu Chao didn’t waste any more words.

"Since you have so many, you go first. Get yours done, then we’ll cut mine, so we can know who wins and who loses as soon as possible," Shen Dong said.

"Alright, that’s what I was thinking too," Liu Chao said with a smile.

So, the stone cutter started with Liu Chao’s three rough stones.

The first one yielded jadeite, and the appraiser on the scene called out a valuation of one million.

That was a very fair price.

Seeing that the first stone yielded a million-dollar piece of jadeite, Liu Chao couldn’t help but laugh smugly, raising his eyebrows at Shen Dong, "See that? That’s called ability. The jadeite from the first rough stone is worth a million. What do you have to compete against me with?"

Shen Dong glanced at him, "It’s just a million, why so smug?"

Liu Chao snorted coldly and asked the stone cutter to continue with the remaining two rough stones.

Quickly, one of the stones had jadeite, and the other did not.

The stone that had jadeite was worth four and a half million.

Added to the first piece of jadeite, the total value was five and a half million.

The rough stones bought for nine hundred and seventy thousand earned five and a half million—pure profit standing at four million five hundred and thirty thousand.

Liu Chao laughed proudly, "Yuting, see that? This is my ability. Not every Tom, Dick, or Harry has this kind of ability. People like Shen Dong, they’re just meant to be trampled underfoot by me."

Chen Yuting nodded again and again.

Liu Chao had indeed shocked her.

Rough stones bought for nine hundred and seventy thousand had yielded jadeite worth five and a half million. The speed of making money was just too fast.

"Shen Dong, what do you have to say? Just admit defeat. Even if that piece of junk stone of yours has something in it, it’ll be a waste of effort," Liu Chao looked at Shen Dong provocatively.

"Admitting defeat is out of the question. Don’t act like you’ve already won. Nobody knows what the final outcome will be," Shen Dong said indifferently.

"Then hurry up and let the stone cutter work on your rough stone. I can’t wait to get my ten million from you," Liu Chao said with a cold laugh.

There is always a crowd at the stone cutting area, many people gathered around to enjoy the drama.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the stone cutter began working on Shen Dong’s rough stone.

With one cut, a burst of green light appeared.

"There’s green, there’s green!"

"Look at that green, it looks like top-quality imperial green!"

"Considering the area of green exposed, this piece of imperial green won’t be small!"

"This is worth at least ten million!"

"Damn, that’s going to be a huge profit!"

"Damn, this guy is way too lucky!"

"I think I saw this rough stone earlier and was about to buy it, but then I thought better of it and didn’t. I regret it so much."

"Come on, can’t you have a little shame? Does that make you seem discerning? It just shows you’re an idiot!"

"Exactly, it has nothing to do with you, so why the hell are you destroying it!"

People around them were discussing fervently.

Liu Chao’s face turned ugly.

How did the imperial green jade just come out?

That guy Shen Dong, why is his luck so good?

He chose just one piece of rough stone and got imperial green right away.

Chen Yuting didn’t understand jade initially, but after hearing the people around her, she realized that imperial green was very precious.

It must be worth over ten million.

Her face also turned somewhat unsightly.

After all, Liu Chao had said he would help her repay her debt if he won.

If he lost, she would have to continue carrying the debt.

Soon, the stone-master had completely processed the entire piece of jade.

This piece of jade rough stone only had a very thin outer layer, and inside was the imperial green.

After the appraisal by the expert, this imperial green was valued at fifteen million.

"Mr. Shen, I’m impressed!" Han Deming sighed.

This Mr. Shen, only choosing one piece of rough just now, obviously had absolute confidence in himself.

I even advised him to pick a few more just before, how embarrassing.

"Heh heh, I’m just lucky," Shen Dong chuckled.

"Mr. Shen, here I have to disagree with you, it’s not just luck, it’s your keen eye," Wu Jin chimed in with a smile.

"Right, right, a keen eye indeed. Mr. Shen’s judgment is impeccable," Han Deming laughed.

The other investors, seeing Shen Dong uncover a jade worth fifteen million, were also green with envy.

The boss of Splendid Film and Television, Du Zhenqi, had spent over a million just now choosing several pieces of rough stones, but they all turned out to be duds.

Now seeing Shen Dong’s fifteen-million-value jade, his eyes grew even redder with envy.

"You lost," Shen Dong looked at Liu Chao and said with a smile.

Liu Chao’s face was ugly, his previous smugness completely gone.

"Ten million, transfer the money." Shen Dong took out his phone, logged into internet banking, and reported his bank card number.

"Shen Dong, I... I don’t have that much money with me. The jade I just mined is worth five million five hundred thousand; it’s all yours. I’ll transfer the remaining four million five hundred thousand to you today. That’s what the agreement says anyway, no problem, right?" Liu Chao said with some embarrassment.

Asserting earlier that he would bet ten million, and now being unable to produce such an amount, was a huge loss of face for a second-generation rich kid.

But no matter how embarrassing it was, there was no other option; it was either pay or reveal the truth.

"Fine, no problem," Shen Dong nodded.

The agreement indeed stated so, and he couldn’t force Liu Chao to stay here against his will.

After all, Liu Chao couldn’t escape; the agreement was there, and if Liu Chao didn’t pay today, Shen Dong could take him to court and also get a large amount in liquidated damages.

Shen Dong believed Liu Chao wouldn’t be so foolish as to be willing to pay significant liquidated damages.

And so, the jade worth five million five hundred thousand belonged to Shen Dong.

The two went to the notary office, and Shen Dong took the contract that was due to him. The other loan agreement was fed into the shredder by the notary’s staff and was destroyed.

Afterward, Liu Chao took down Shen Dong’s bank account number and said he would transfer the money that very day, then left with Chen Yuting, looking dejected.

He simply had no face to stay there any longer.

He had wanted to show off in front of Chen Yuting by putting Shen Dong down.

But in the end, his attempt to impress backfired, and he lost several million to boot.

Leaving the market, Liu Chao saw that Chen Yuting remained silent and could only attempt a sheepish smile: "Yuting, that Shen Dong just got lucky, I couldn’t help it."

Even with his thick skin, he felt a bit ashamed.

It was truly an utter failure in showing off today.

Such an explanation, though plausible,

still sounded weak and unconvincing in the face of defeat.
