Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Dian Dian_1

"Gambling stones? Forget it, I’m really not in the mood."

Father-in-law Luo Yuantu waved his hand dismissively and glanced at the surrounding staff before continuing, "Well, Mo Han, I’ve got something to attend to first... I’m taking off."

Without a second thought, he dashed straight for the exit.

"Manager, should we bring him back..." a waiter asked in a low voice.

"No need! Just have two people keep an eye on him," Manager Zhou said confidently, "This old guy’s son-in-law is here; he can’t escape."

The waiter hesitated before speaking, "But manager, look at him, his clothes and appearance don’t look like those of a wealthy person. He can’t possibly take out six million."

"Can’t take it out? Haha, that’s because you haven’t seen my methods!" Manager Zhou sneered at Mo Han and added, "He wants to stir up trouble on my turf, I want to see how capable he really is!"

In the time that conversation took place, Mo Han had already made his way to the gambling stone area.

The gambling stone area was not small, occupying two-thirds of the ground floor hall of Yulin Zhai.

It seems that to facilitate the customers’ selection, Yulin Zhai’s gambling stone section was divided into three areas: A, B, and C, each delineated by white lines. At the front of each line, there was a glass display stand featuring half-cut jade and whole pieces of jade, with prices clearly marked underneath, obviously meant to draw in those who gamble on stones.

Mo Han strolled around and roughly figured it out.

Area A was the most crowded because the stones here were small, yet there were an astonishing number of them - at least tens of thousands. These stones were slightly cheaper, with prices ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands, mainly for those who were new to gambling stones to practice on.

Area B featured slightly larger stones, each about the size of a watermelon, and numbered in the thousands. The price of these stones also skyrocketed straight away, starting at fifty thousand, with the most expensive reaching nine hundred and twenty thousand. There was a significant crowd here too, with more than a dozen already swiping their cards waiting to have the stones cut.

As for Area C, there were only one hundred stones, some of which faintly showed green color. Each was priced over a million, with the most expensive piece even reaching nine million. Not many lingered here, just seven or eight people discussing them casually.

Having never gambled on stones before, Mo Han simply headed over to Area A to see how others did it.

He first approached a balding middle-aged man holding a stone the size of a fist and watched him handle it for a full three minutes before he couldn’t help but ask, "Old master, why are you looking at it for so long?"

"This thing is final sale once bought; if I don’t look carefully, what will I do?" The middle-aged man turned his head, looking down on Mo Han as he said, "Friend, is this your first time gambling on stones?"

"Right!" Mo Han nodded and smiled, "Old master, how could you tell?"

"Don’t call me old master; it makes me sound ancient," the middle-aged man touched his receding hairline and said, "My last name is He, I’m only thirty-five this year."

"Gambling on stones has its rules; it’s all about first come, first served. Like this raw material I’m holding, since I saw it first, no one else can interfere. Unless I’ve finished examining it and put the stone down, then others can have a look."

"You came over and stared at my stone right away; what else could you be but a newbie?"

"Oh... yeah, you’re right," Mo Han said with an awkward laugh, rubbing his hair.

Meanwhile, Manager Zhou had found a chair in the resting area and sat down. He beckoned over to an assistant and asked, "How’s that Mister Mo doing?"

"Just a rookie who’s new to the game. He wandered around Area A for fifteen minutes, doesn’t understand anything, and kept staring at somebody else’s stone," the assistant said sarcastically, "Manager, in my opinion, this guy definitely doesn’t have much money."

"Hmm, it’s about time," Manager Zhou glanced at his watch and nodded indifferently, "Let’s go, time to collect the money."

At the same time, Go Lao’er received a call and urgently took six million in cash, rushing non-stop towards Yulin Zhai with two underlings.

"Friend, where’s your six million?" Manager Zhou sauntered over leisurely, and several security guards conveniently separated the crowd, encircling Mo Han.

"What’s the rush; it’s on its way," Mo Han said calmly, glancing at the stones in Area A and then at the nearby stone-cutting machine, "Manager Zhou, does that mean that as long as I pay up, I can have it cut right away?"

"Of course!" Manager Zhou held his head high, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, "Yulin Zhai has always been about fair trade, no deceit. As long as you pay, we can help you cut the stone."

"Even better! If a good quality jade is uncovered, we can buy it from you on the spot!"

He pointed towards the A glass display case, continuing, "You see that ’glass’ type? It was cut from Area A two months ago, and our Yulin Zhai bought it on the spot for five million three hundred thousand."

His reason for saying all this was because there was quite a crowd in Area A fascinated by the spectacle; the promotion was also meant to spur these people’s buying desires, to urge them to quickly spend money on gambling stones.

"Friend, you surely don’t think you can repay your father-in-law’s six hundred thousand through gambling on stones, do you?" Manager Zhou’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Mo Han, "On my turf, using my property to repay debts to me, you’ve got some nerve!"

"Do you believe I could break your arms and legs right now and throw you out onto the street?"

"You wouldn’t dare!"

Just then, the hastily arriving Go Lao’er strode in with two underlings, each carrying a suitcase, rushing towards them.

The moment he reached the door, he heard someone threatening Mister Mo and immediately felt his anger surge, ready to throw a punch.

"Wait!"

Mo Han gestured, speaking softly, "Give him the money first!"

"Yes!"

At Mo Han’s words, Go Lao’er nodded to his two underlings who promptly opened the briefcases.

With a rustling sound, the two suitcases full of pink banknotes spilled to the ground.

Six hundred thousand might not be a vast sum, but it was still six hundred stacks. Seeing someone dare to be so bold in Yulin Zhai, everyone immediately put down what they were doing and crowded around.

Mo Han stood with his hands behind his back and slowly made his way towards Manager Zhou, "Should we count it?"
