C77 Wen Yuzhai
Along the way, Meng Ran saw many luxury cars passing by him. Mercedes-Benz, bMW, porsche, Lexus and so on. Meng Ran felt a little numb when he saw them.
"To be able to attract so many wealthy people here, it seems like the scale of the Stone Gambling Event this time is really not small. Who knows, I might really encounter two Exquisite Jade." When Meng Ran thought of this, he felt some anticipation in his heart. His footsteps also sped up a little.
"Invitation letter."
Two sturdy security guards with bronze-colored skin stopped the three of them in an instant.
Meng Ran and the other two looked at each other. Fang Rubing did not say what invitation letter they were going to prepare.
The security guards looked at the three of them from top to bottom. Although Lee Mingzhu changed into a slightly cleaner set of clothes, he still looked sloppy. Although Meng Ran had a delicate and pretty face, the clothes he was wearing were very cheap. Among the three of them, the one with the noblest status was Jie, who was wearing a suit.
The security guard said disdainfully, "Only wealthy people with a net worth of more than 50 million will receive an invitation letter. Just look at your poor looks and you will know that you are poor people who are dreaming of making money again. Each of you can pay 5,000 yuan and go in."
Jie had a fiery temper. In Jiangzhou, even those billionaires with assets of over 100 million would be respectful to him. When did he end up being looked down upon by these two guards? He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to teach these two snobbish things a lesson.
However, Jie was stopped by Meng Ran. Meng Ran threw fifteen thousand yuan into the room, and only then did the guards let the three of them in.
Jie apologized as he walked, "Mr. Meng, I'm really sorry to let you spend money."
Before Jie came, Wan Zhibin had already told him. If they encountered a situation where they needed money, he would let Jie settle it for Meng Ran. It was also to give Mu Qingya some face. Of course, the expenditure could not be too high. If it exceeded five hundred thousand, Meng Ran would have to pay for it himself.
Meng Ran waved his hand indifferently. He looked at the dazzling stones around him and was somewhat excited.
The Warm Jade Room was extremely spacious. The luxurious carpet on the ground was laid to the end.
The main characters of the Stone Gambling Event today were the dozens of stalls of various sizes.
The small stall only had three or four fist-sized stones. The clothes of the stall owner showed that he was a jade picker.
Some of the bigger stalls were much grander. They occupied a space as big as two or three living rooms. All kinds of strange-looking stones were stacked in an orderly manner. Meng Ran even saw a huge stone that was more than half a head taller than him standing in it.
Many rich and famous people in the stalls were picky. Some of them had even taken a fancy to some stones. They had arranged for people to take them away and send them to the cutting machine at the back of the field to wait for the cutting.
"Mr. Meng, let's hurry and choose too. Otherwise, those good ones will be taken away if we pick too late." Jie and Lee Mingzhu spoke almost at the same time.
Meng Ran, however, wasn't in a hurry. He brought the two of them and leisurely strolled around the Warm Jade Room. He asked casually, "Pillar, you have been in this line of work for more than ten years. Have you played with stone gambling?"
When Lee Mingzhu heard this, he said with regret, "To be honest, in the line of jade, basically everyone has played with stone gambling."
Meng Ran smiled and said. "How much did you pay?"
Lee Mingzhu's face stiffened. He sighed and said, "One million. After I was fired by that vixen, I also had no other choice, so I wanted to try this. In the beginning, I really bought a few decent jade. I earned tens of thousands of dollars. Later on, I felt that with my many years of experience, I could really make money. So, I took out my savings from the stone gambling. In the end, I lost everything overnight..."
The more Lee Mingzhu spoke, the lower his voice became. In the end, he almost choked. Jie had been traveling with Wan Zhibin for the past few years. He seldom left Lee Mingzhu. He did not expect that his good friend would go bankrupt because of the stone gambling. He could not help comforting him.
Meng Ran did not comment on this. Instead, he asked, "If I cut out a top tier jade, do you think this merchant will go back on his word and even commit murder and robbery?"
Lee Mingzhu and Jie were startled, but Lee Mingzhu explained, "Mr. Meng, don't worry. Warm Jade Room is a famous trading place for stone gambling in Yuxiang town. They will naturally ensure the safety of our guests."
Meng Ran nodded and didn't say anything.
They had almost visited the Warm Jade Room, but Meng Ran stopped at the stall of a middle-aged man.
The stall of this middle-aged man could be considered the crudest. He simply threw the stone on the stall. He leaned lazily on the deck chair and covered his head with a hat.
He seemed to be completely unaware of the arrival of Meng Ran and the other two.
Meng Ran squatted down and held a fist-sized stone in his hand. He gently shook it and a light flashed in his eyes.
"Boss, why is there no price for this stone?" Meng Ran asked.
Almost every stone of the stone gambling had a price tag on it. Of course, there were a few exceptions.
The boss raised his eyelids and casually said, "Two hundred thousand."
"What?! This stone doesn't even have a jade eye. It's a waste. Even if you ask for a hundred yuan, no one will buy it. If you want two hundred thousand, it's clearly a blackmail!" Lee Mingzhu shouted angrily.
The boss still looked indifferent. He said lazily, "250,000 yuan."
"You!" Even Jie could not stand it anymore. He was about to argue with this person.
Meng Ran smiled and said, "Deal."
