Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Are We Playing This Big?
Yang Yu continued browsing the premium raw stone exhibition area, yet for a long time, he remained unimpressed by any of them.
Mr. Beishan did not leave, instead, he kept following Yang Yu.
He wanted to see whether this young man was just lucky or truly skilled.
It was one thing for Mr. Beishan to follow him, but Bai Xuefeng was also tagging along, which slightly annoyed Yang Yu, "Tell me, you two, why are you following me?"
Mr. Beishan huffed, "The exhibition area is only so large, there’s no rule saying I can’t be here if you are."
Bai Xuefeng was fairly honest, and she said with a slight smile, "Mr. Yang, I’m quite curious about you. I heard you’re already Boss Yue’s antique appraiser, and I didn’t expect you to be so good at stone gambling, too."
"He’s an antique appraiser at Yuxiu Auction House?" Mr. Beishan was taken aback, "At his age... it seems highly unlikely!"
Yang Yu laughed, "Some things are not about age, you’re either capable or you’re not, no matter how old you are, if you’re not capable, that’s that!"
Feeling like he’d been subtly insulted, Mr. Beishan’s mustache bristled with anger, "Kid, although you were lucky and won just now, I don’t believe my stone gambling skills are inferior to yours, I challenge you!"
"What kind of challenge?" Yang Yu looked at Mr. Beishan dismissively, "I came here today to make money, not to compete with others."
"Came to make money?" Bai Xuefeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, "What a bold statement!"
Mr. Beishan said, "How about this, we both select ten raw stones each, and whoever’s raw stones reveal better quality jade, the loser pays for all twenty raw stones."
Upon hearing Mr. Beishan’s proposal, the surrounding crowd instantly became excited, "Isn’t this equivalent to gambling ten million?"
"Don’t talk nonsense, this isn’t a ten million gamble, gambling is illegal! This is called a friendly match!"
"Exactly, this is a friendly match!"
"Do you think the young man will agree..."
"Sure!" Yang Yu immediately agreed, "But ten is too few. If the old gentleman is willing to take on the entire collection of jade, I’m also willing to accompany him."
At Yang Yu’s words, the crowd became even more excited, "Holy cow! That’s awesome!"
"This guy is so arrogant! But I like it, haha!"
"To take on the whole lot, that would be several billion! Are young people these days playing at such high stakes?"
Originally, Mr. Beishan just wanted to salvage his pride, but he hadn’t expected Yang Yu to directly throw down such a big challenge, leaving him undecided and unable to respond.
If it were just ten raw stones, he could afford ten million.
But if it were about gambling on the entire collection of raw stones, several billion was beyond what he could afford.
Yet, if he didn’t accept, wouldn’t he be admitting his inferiority to Yang Yu?
Seeing Mr. Beishan remain silent, Yang Yu added another jab, "Old gentleman, are you afraid of losing? Just admit it if you are afraid. There’s no shame in losing to me."
Mr. Beishan hesitated, stammering without managing to say much, "I, I, I..."
At that point, Bai Xuefeng said with a smile, "Let me be Mr. Yang’s opponent in this wager, then. Only, Mr. Yang, my skills in stone gambling surely cannot match yours, so let’s change the method of gambling."
Yang Yu looked at Bai Xuefeng with interest, "Miss Bai, how do you want to gamble?"
Bai Xuefeng replied, "You can pick any raw stone from the entire collection, no matter how many, and you give me an estimate of the total value of the jade to be revealed. If the price difference isn’t more than two million above or below, I will give you all those raw stones for free."
"If you estimate wrong, however much the raw stones are worth, you just pay me double the price."
Upon hearing Bai Xuefeng’s method of gambling, the crowd couldn’t help but burst into praise, "Miss Bai is so generous!"
"Miss Bai truly is a heroine among women!"
"Do you think this kid dares to gamble? I don’t think he does..."
"Okay," Yang Yu said with a smile, "I’ll take all the raw stones in the room."
Everyone’s heart skipped a beat, and the shocked expression on their faces seemed to have frozen, as they couldn’t recover for quite some time.
They had originally thought that Yang Yu was just bluffing to the old Mr. Beishan when he talked about taking all the raw stones in the room, but it turned out he really wanted to play big!
Bai Xuefeng’s heart also collapsed, and it took a while before she managed to say, "Mr. Yang, do you know how many raw stones there are in total?"
"There were originally eight hundred and eighty-eight," Yang Yu said. "I have purchased one, and I’m not sure if anyone else has bought any. But even if a few have been sold, the price would roughly not exceed nine billion. If we double it, that’s eighteen billion, right?"
"You know that and still dare to gamble?" Bai Xuefeng stared at Yang Yu. "It’s not that I don’t trust you, Mr. Yang, but can I make sure you have that much money first?"
"Of course." Yang Yu immediately made a video call to Shen Silin. "Mr. Shen, someone is doubting your financial strength..."
Yang Yu briefly explained the situation, and Shen Silin smiled lightly, "Pass the phone to Bai Xuefeng, I’ll talk to her."
"Okay," Yang Yu passed the phone to Bai Xuefeng, who took it and said, "Mr. Shen, what do you say?"
Shen Silin replied, "No matter how much money Yang Yu is short of to buy jade, count it on me."
"With Mr. Shen’s word, that’s enough," Bai Xuefeng returned the phone to Yang Yu and took a deep breath, "Since Mr. Yang wants to play big, I’ll be right there with you to the end."
People who came to buy raw stones probably would never forget this scene for the rest of their lives; one person took all the raw stones in the room.
That person either got a free ride without spending a penny or would have to spend eighteen billion!
Isn’t this kind of grand gamble even more thrilling than any gambling god movie scene?
Everyone forgot they were here to buy raw stones today and simply became spectators.
There is no exaggeration to say, such a scene was absolutely unprecedented and will be unmatched in the future.
Crazy, both parties of the gamble were just too crazy!
All the raw stones were gathered in one place, a huge pile like a small hill.
The cutting masters at the event were also ready for battle, waiting for Yang Yu to appraise these raw stones.
"Let me pick out the stones with no material inside first!" Yang Yu said as if he was picking watermelons, picking up one, patting it twice, and then casually tossing it away.
In less than ten minutes, Yang Yu had picked out more than two hundred raw stones with no material inside.
"So many?"
"Is this guy really able to tell there’s nothing inside, or is he bluffing?"
"No need to guess, we’ll know once we cut it open, right?"
"Start cutting," Yang Yu instructed the crowd of cutting masters, and more than two hundred cutting masters started working at the same time, creating a spectacular scene.
The rasping sound of cutting through the stones was incessantly ringing in everyone’s ears, grating for sure, but no one in the room cared about the sound, all eyes were on the cutting masters’ tables.
"I’ve got nothing here."
"This one didn’t yield anything either."
"Nothing."
As the cutting masters kept slicing open stone after stone with no material, the more they cut, the more Bai Xuefeng’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.
Yang Yu might be unfazed, but her psychological pressure was just too great!
