"I can't afford it, can you afford it?!"
Wendell frowned and turned around and asked in a cold voice, "If you want to act like a big spender, you have to have the ability to act like a big spender!"
Billy was instantly furious, "Brat, you dare to say I'm acting like a big spender?"
"Isn't it?" Wendell sneered back.
"Hey, kid, do you know how much a piece of clothing costs on Jemi? You can't make that much money in a year by selling vegetables!" Billy said disdainfully, "A vegetable seller who dares to come to the jadeite raw stone trade fair, what a laugh!"
Wendell opened his mouth and wanted to retort, but on second thought, he took his words back.
In fact, Wendell knew that there was no jadeite in the jadeite stones he had just negotiated with that boss, and he had wanted to provoke Billy into buying them so that he could undermine him. But Billy's arrogance had completely enraged Wendell.
Therefore, Wendell was not going to do that, to con him, he had to con him hard, and believed that a few hundred thousand to Billy could not hurt his vitality.
"Humph! A bumpkin, you dare to come here and pretend to be a big spender too?" Seeing that Wendell wanted to say something but stopped, Billy immediately thought he was afraid and immediately sneered back at him.
"That's right, kid, seeing that you're carrying a bag, you're not trying to take sheep by the hand here, are you?" Louisiana's sister also followed, saying disdainfully.
Wendell smiled coldly and stopped paying attention to them, but turned to that boss and said, "Forty thousand, I'll buy this jadeite raw stone!"
"Just kidding!" That boss almost jumped up, 130, 000 turned into 40, 000 in the blink of an eye, that was a bit too big a difference.
He shook his head and said, "Lancettle brother, if you sincerely want to buy it, take it for 120, 000, if it's less than that, there's no need to talk about it!"
"Yo, this is simply an open robbery!" Louisiana's sister sneered disdainfully from the side.
Wendell was not angry, he had already decided that if he did not move, he would have to take Billy's life. Therefore, he simply ignored Billy and his wife's sneers.
Wendell's gaze fell on a small stone on the edge of the stall. This was a piece of jadeite stone almost the size of an adult's fist, on the surface, there was only a faint green mist, in fact, according to Wendell's understanding, such a jadeite stone, there were obviously already cut marks on it, obviously just a waste stone.
Perhaps it was because of this hint of green mist that the stall owner took a chance with it.
"Boss, how do you sell this piece of raw stone?" Wendell squatted down, a little annoyed in his heart. He was certain that there was jadeite in this small piece of raw stone, and it was still of great quality, it should be a water jadeite, and this piece, if all of it was pulled out, should be able to make a few pairs of bangles and a few pendants, and at the current price, it would cost almost million or more.
Wendell originally did not intend to ask the price of this piece of raw stone directly, but only wanted to buy a scrap stone, thus incidentally buying this small piece of raw stone away, so that it would not attract attention. But Billy suddenly intervened, making Wendell's original intention fall through, so he could only ask for the price directly.
"This piece well…… three thousand!" The stall owner said, and although he looked serious, Wendell still saw a ‘full of care' look in his eyes.
Obviously, the stall owner did not attach much importance to this piece of waste stone.
Wendell frowned: "Three thousand is too expensive, isn't it? Boss, as you know, I'm just a vegetable seller, I came here just to have some casual fun and grow up, how about this, five hundred!"
"Five hundred…… great!" The stall owner waved his hand, "Open for business, even if it's to make a friend!"
Wendell immediately took out five large bills and handed them to the boss, and then he took the scrap stone into his hands.
"Ai yo yo~~~"
Louisiana's sister instantly stretched her voice, "Look, a poor boy selling vegetables is just not ordinary, buying jadeite raw stones for hundreds of dollars!"
Such sarcastic words, I'm afraid that anyone can understand. You know, jadeite raw stones, a few hundred dollars can't be seen very often. It's not that the price is too high, but it's too low. Even if it was an ordinary scrap stone, it was not unusual to see a few tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
Now that Wendell had bought a five hundred dollar scrap stone, it was inevitable that he would be met with unbridled sarcasm.
"Hey, Mima, you can't say things like that, the boy who sells vegetables buys raw stones, naturally, with the eyes of a vegetable seller, can you still ask him to have a high taste and vision? Wouldn't that be too difficult for people?" Billy laughed loudly.
Wendell, however, only smiled lightly and glanced at Louisiana's sister, thinking, "So this woman who seems like a street girl is named TaranMima, what a waste of such a quiet name.
"Sister, brother-in-law, let's go somewhere else, don't get bad luck here!" Louisiana spoke more cold-blreatedly and more snobbishly.
"Right! Right! We are also here to buy the original stones, we can't get bad luck here with the poor boy." Billy said this, but had no intention of leaving, he still had to give this poor boy who dared to contradict himself a great sarcasm here, how could he leave so early?
What's more, Billy had long had other thoughts about Louisiana, his nominal sister-in-law, and when he remembered that Louisiana had once been in love with Wendell, Billy hated Wendell even more.
"Louisiana is Jemi's, how dare you, a poor boy selling vegetables, mess with her?" Billy laughed coldly in his heart.
Wendell's face was expressionless, he just glanced at Billy's three people indifferently, but in his heart, he had already sentenced Billy's three people to death.
He streat up and asked the stall owner, "Boss, where can I solve the stone?"
The cash in Wendell's hand was only over 60, 000, and he could not afford to buy any slightly larger original stones, so he had to deconstruct the stone first and exchange the jadeite in this stone for cash so that he could buy more of the original stones.
That boss pointed behind Wendell, "See, at the entrance of that warehouse, there is a stone solving machine right there, but if you didn't buy the raw stones from that boss's stall, you need to pay for the stone solving."
Wendell smiled faintly and turned around to walk over.
"Haha, let's go, let's follow suit and see what that poor boy can unravel!" Billy laughed arrogantly, put one arm around TaranMima, slapped his big hand on her buttocks, and followed with a laugh.
Because the fair had just started not long ago, everyone was still busy shopping, so there were very few people at the stone solving place, and Wendell paid directly when he arrived and started solving the stones.
"Solving stones~~~!"
The owner of the stall shouted loudly, and many people immediately gathered around, as this was the first time the stones were being unsettled at this fair, and everyone wanted to get lucky. Of course, there were also some people who were just watching the fun, not daring to make a purchase themselves, but watching others solve the stones was a great way to get excited.
The last group of people are those who are in the jadeite and jade business. Any time there is a jadeite jade fair, it is a great time for them to purchase raw materials. Especially in the last few years when extremely fine jadeite jade is becoming more and more scarce, these jewellery or jadeite jade merchants have become more active in attending such fairs, and even some companies with a greater demand are directly involved in gambling on the stones.
"Ee? Is that him?" A low voice of surprise rang out from the crowd. The owner of the voice, a charming and peerless woman, was the old president of a jewellery company that had once crossed paths with Wendell, Trupay.
Beside Trupay was still the unsmiling Old White.
Seeing that the person preparing to solve the stones was actually Wendell, a look of surprise flashed across Trupay's beautiful eyes, she indeed did not expect that Wendell would participate in this kind of stone gambling activity.
In a short mument, the crowd gathered around, and Trupay and Old White also gazed at Wendell. Some jadeite merchants even made up their minds that if a jadeite came out, they would definitely buy it into their hands. If you wait until it's too late, you'll have to pay a lot more!
However, when these people saw the original stone in Wendell's hand, they immediately revealed a disappointed look.
This was not a raw stone, it was clearly a waste stone. Moreover, it was also a waste stone that had almost no gambleability whatsoever. It was only the size of a fist, and it was still a waste stone, so the chance of a jadeite coming out of it was not even one in ten thousand.
Once they saw it, most people lost interest, but since it was the first stone to be solved today, most of them didn't leave despite their disappointment.
"Haha, this poor boy who sells vegetables is really ignorant!" In front of so many people, TaranMima ridiculed without sparing any effort, "Spending five hundred dollars, buying such a waste stone, and still coming to this trouble, really anyone wants to get involved in the jadeite jewellery business."
"Sister, don't say more, it will hurt people's pride!" Louisiana was ‘persuading' from the side, in fact, it was her words that were more sarcastic, just more subtle.
Trupay, who was standing in the crowd, frowned slightly and glanced in the direction where TaranMima was, obviously a little displeased.
Wendell, however, was not affected in the slightest, his face remained calm, and only after asking the stall owner about the usage of the stone solving machine, he fixed the raw stone in his hand.
After starting the machine and slightly cutting off a small piece, Wendell stopped.
The raw stone was already very small, so it would be very dangerous to use a cutting machine, in fact, Wendell was just looking for speed.
Next, Wendell started to pick up the grinding wheel and polished it, and everyone shook their heads slightly, not intending to watch any longer.
"Haha, if this waste stone can still produce jadeite, I'll eat this one up!" Billy laughed loudly, but said what was on everyone's mind.
"That's what you said oh!" Wendell suddenly raised his head and gave him a cold look, while the small polishing machine in his hand suddenly started.
Zizi~~~!
After a few short seconds, Wendell stopped, picked up the clear water next to him and poured it on the raw stone in his hand.
"Out, it's green!" The stall owner was the first to see the change in the original stone in Wendell's hand, and immediately lost his voice and exclaimed.
"What? The bet has risen?!" Everyone was in disbelief when they heard this, what a joke, how could that kind of waste stone be gambled up?
However, when the eyes of the crowd landed on the original stone in Wendell's hand, they instantly narrowed their eyes, and a glint of greed flashed across everyone's eyes.
On the original stone in Wendell's hand, a crystal and soft green colour that made people's hearts beat violently and dazzled them!
