The area of raw jade stone in the mall.
This was the most popular place in the mall. Yutian County was famous for the raw jade stone, so the people of Yutian County naturally had great enthusiasm for it.
Gambling stone was a very addictive thing. Many people were addicted to it, hoping that one day they would get rich on gambling stone.
In many years of gambling stone, many people in Yutian County got rich relying on gambling stone. If they were lucky, they would have not to worry about food and clothing for this life.
"Gambling stone is not difficult. I have always stayed with Leonardo for so long, I have known how to identify it, if now I quick working for Leonardo and have gamble on stone, I can earn enough money for the rest of my life." Jaxon said proudly.
He usually followed Leonardo to deal with some problems about raw jade stone, but his job was to record and arrange shipping.
The raw stone were selected by Leonardo’s experienced man. Jaxon followed them and learnt a bit of it.
If he really gambled on stone, with his low level, he would lose all his money.
"Wow, Jaxon, you are awesome. Let’s buy a raw stone, maybe we can make a big fortune." Flora said with shining eyes.
Jaxon was immediately embarrassed. He just bragged and didn't expect Flora was serious.
Although the price of raw jade stone was much cheaper than jade, but it was not cheap. The one with good color and lustre seemed to have a big chance, but it costs hundreds of thousands.
But he had already said it out and it would be hard to take it back.
What was more, Casey and Edith were still here, so he could not let Flora lose face. Since Flora said that she wanted to buy a raw stone, he could only agree.
Four people walked to an exhibition area for raw stones. Flora and Jaxon seriously looked at the raw stone and wanted to pick out a piece of treasure.
Casey took a rough glance at the raw stones and said with a smile, “The color and density of the stones are bad, basically they are not good material. It is estimated that mall is too attract those with amateur level. The stones with good materials would not have been placed here, but sold by auction."
Hearing that, Edith widened her eyes, looking at Casey, “Do you know it?"
Casey said with a smile, “I studied it when I was idle. Jade is as same as antiques. My perspective on stone is as good as antiques."
Edith knew Casey’s attainments in antiques. Last time, the first treasure master in J City lost to him, so it could be told that Casey had a high level.
Now he said his level of on jade was the same as that on antiques, Edith did not doubt it.
She was just curious how many skill did her man have.
In a short while, Jaxon took a fancy to a stone with good color. There was green light on the surface on the stone, which was a sigh of existence of jade.
Jaxon looked around and picked it up after confirming no one was paying attention to this stone.
"Flora, we are lucky, this stone is a jade. See, from the surface, you can see the color inside, there must be jade!" Jaxon was excited.
Flora did not know about time, but hearing Jaxon said so, she widened her eyes.
"But honey, since this stone is a jade, why didn't those people notice this stone?" Flora asked.
Jaxon immediately laughed and said, “This stone has placed here just now, no one has come over. We are lucky and we happened to see it. If it is a jade, we can sell it for millions."
At that time many people noticed the stone in Jaxon’s hand. They approached to observe it and immediately began to praise.
"Sir, you have good perspective, this stone must be a jade."
"Yes, the skin is green. This kind of stone is rare. Sir, do you want it? If you don’t want it, can I have it?"
"I'm not so lucky. I wish I had seen this stone."
...
Listening to the praise of all, Jaxon believed this stone must be a jade, so he was pleased.
Casey took a look at the stone and noticed that although the stone was green, the color was different from the normal jade.
Because Casey understood well about stone gambling, he knew for one kind of stone, the businessman fabricate a color to deceive customers.
It made a shallow hole in the raw stone, injected green dye and sealed it, which made people believe it was green from the surface.
This stone was clearly a colored stone.
People present were at the amateur level, so they didn’t know about the truth and thought Jaxon was lucky.
"This stone is not good material. You'd better not buy it." Casey said.
Jaxon looked at Casey in scorn and said, “What do you know? You only bought your wife a processing bag, how can you know which stone is good. I followed Leonardo for so long, I can tell which stone is good."
He immediately turned to the staff and said, “How much is it, I will take it."
Seeing this, the staff immediately ran over and said with a smile on his face, “Sir, you have a good perspective. This stone is of the most opportunity to be a jade on the field today. If you want it, I will give you a discount, which is 300,000."
Hearing it cost 300,000, Jaxon hesitated, after all it was a lot, which was equivalent to his half a year's wages.
Casey found Jaxon was determined to buy this stone, he reminded, “This stone is not as good as you think, if you buy it, you will regret."
Jaxon immediately shouted, “Son of bitch, this broken stone can't even sell ten yuan! I got cheat!"
Those people said it was good material shut up immediately, and the man wanted to buy it felt he was lucky. Fortunately, Jaxon bought it, otherwise he would lose his money.
Jaxon immediately looked to the staff and shouted, “You liar, compensate me money!"
The staff rolled his eyes at him and said, "As I told you at that time, stone gambling is a gamble. No one knows what the inside is like until it is cut open. Besides, we have a clear price. It was you wanted to buy it. Don’t blame for others if it is not good.”
Jaxon clenched his fists, but he had no reason to argue with the staff.
He felt his eyes on Casey and said angrily, “It is your fault, you cursed me. If it weren't for your nonsense, this stone must be good material. You compensate me three hundred thousand!"
Casey took a look at him and said, “I reminded you, it was you insisted to buy it. The stone could not be changed because of my words. Otherwise I would have become the richest man in the world."
"Fuck you! I don't care, you have to pay me!” Jaxon was angry, that was half a year's of his salary. Now it was in vain, he sure was distressed.
"Don't be nonsense. Casey kindly advised you, but you blamed him. You are shameless." Edith said.
Jaxon bit his teeth. Knowing that it was his bad, he could only scold Casey in his heart.
"Wait and see. You'll suffer later."Jaxon said gritting teeth.
They left the stone gambling area. Jaxon and Flora were gloomy on face, thinking they had lost money because of Casey’s bad words.
But to wait for retaliation on Casey and Edith, Jaxon didn't argue with them.
"It is just three hundred thousand, I don't care about it, it is just half a year's salary. Even if I lost three hundred thousand, I am still better than Casey, who is only willing to buy a processing bag for his woman." Jaxon comforted himself.
"Honey, you are right. You are much better than Casey." Flora said and took a look at Edith, “Edith, you still take the processing bag this loser bought you. What a shame. You better throw it away, lest you will be laughed at."
Edith took a look at the bag in her hand and said, “I think this bag is very good, at least looks more beautiful than yours."
Flora pressed her mouth and said, “You know nothing. Yours is a processing bag. It is useless even if it is beautiful."
At this time a few girls passed by them. The girls exclaimed when they saw Edith’s bag.
"This is a limited edition bag from the store. It costs a quarter of a million. Wow, I'm so envious of her carrying such an expensive bag!"
"Yes, this bag is really beautiful, but it is too expensive to afford."
"I think her boyfriend bought it for her. That's great. When will I have a boyfriend like that?"
