Chapter 987 Picking up leaks (3)
After George saw Zhuang Rui's smile, although he felt a little bad, he didn't have the courage to go back on his words in front of so many people.
"Brother Zhuang, I only have 80,000 euros in cash..."
In Myanmar, stone gambling is usually done by transfer, and few people bring a large amount of cash. Especially this time when Zhuang Rui came to Myanmar and Hu Rong was in charge, he didn't prepare much cash.
Li Zhen dug out all the money, but still had a shortfall of 20,000 euros. He couldn't help but look at Zhuang Rui.
"Eighty thousand? There's still twenty thousand left. Now, George, can I write you a check?"
Zhuang Rui's actions made George feel more and more uneasy. He looked at the rough stone weighing more than 20 kilograms on the ground, shook his head and said: "Sir, if you can't come up with cash, I think...
This transaction can be terminated..."
Although George believed that the rough stone that won the bid this time was a piece of waste, he originally planned to fish it back a little bit, but Zhuang Rui's behavior made him change his mind and wanted to cut the remaining piece of material again.
After all, George is worth hundreds of millions and has lost more than three million euros. Naturally, he won't take the 100,000 euros seriously. It's just that George was a little full of words just now, so now he wants to use cash to terminate the transaction.
"you……"
Zhuang Rui looked at George angrily, but he didn't do it kindly. He looked up at his father-in-law, wanting to see if he had any cash on hand.
Qin Haoran shook his head slightly. He only had a few thousand euros in cash on him. When he came to Hu Rong, Myanmar, he had all-inclusive meals and drinks. Why would he bring cash with him if he had nothing to do? Then he would be worried about being robbed all day long.
Just when Zhuang Rui didn't know where to get the money, Lao Guo beside him suddenly said: "Zhuang...Teacher Zhuang, I have some cash here, how about...you take it first?"
Yesterday when Lao Guo and Boss Jin had a gambling game, many people wrote IOUs, but these people all had status. After meeting Lao Guo today, many people returned the money they lost to Lao Guo.
After all, 50,000 RMB is just 5,000 Euros. Many people can still afford it, and they don’t want to be chased for such a small amount of money.
So today, the bag behind Lao Guo's back is full of money. If anyone has the most cash in the jade trading center today, it is definitely Lao Guo.
Regardless of whether gambling on stones is quite profitable, the high profits and huge risks will also result in losses. In Lao Guo's trip, even if a stone did not increase in bets, but he just won money by gambling, he would still be able to compete with him.
His entire original net worth is similar.
Zhuang Rui wanted to cut the knot quickly, and the only serious thing was to give money for stones. At the moment, he didn't care that he would owe Lao Guo a favor by doing so, and said: "If it's convenient for Boss Guo, then give me 20,000..."
"Convenient...convenient, hehe, what a coincidence today..."
Lao Guo took off his backpack and opened the zipper with a "chila" sound. Even Zhuang Rui was shocked. The backpack was full of money, at least five or six million euros.
"Teacher Zhuang, is 20,000 euros enough? How about you get more?"
Lao Guo can make all this money, but it is all thanks to Zhuang Rui. If Zhuang Rui hadn't suddenly defeated Mr. Tang, Lao Guo would probably be demolishing houses and selling land in China and preparing to lose money, so let alone 20,000 euros
, even if he gave Zhuang Rui 200,000 yuan, he wouldn't even blink an eye.
"Haha, twenty thousand euros is enough..."
Zhuang Rui pondered for a moment and then said: "Everyone can take advantage of it. Since Mr. George is willing to part with his love, Boss Guo, you will get 20% of this rough stone..."
"Hey, Lao Guo is lucky enough to get a share of the pie..."
"There must be something in this rough stone. Teacher Zhuang has never made a mistake when betting on stones..."
"Yes, I also have 20,000 to 30,000 euros. I would have lent it to Teacher Zhuang if I had known..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui said these words, the people around him were immediately envious. Although these people could not see any clues from this scrap of information, as Zhuang Rui's identity, he would never say anything arrogant.
If it weren't for Zhuang Rui's reputation, it is estimated that at least half of the people in this scene would have had a hand in it.
"Mr. George, this rough stone belongs to me..."
Zhuang Rui took the 20,000 euros from Lao Guo and handed it into George's hand. Li Zhen behind him took the stone away with a smile, so fast that George had no time to regret it.
"Well, I hope you can unlock the jade..."
George behaved very gracefully. Anyway, the stone has been sold, so he would regret it and lose face.
"I would like to lend you your kind words..."
Zhuang Rui smiled, turned to Lao Guo and said: "Boss Guo, you and Boss Jin should unpack other materials first. We are not in a hurry. We can go back to where I live and unpack it again..."
There was so much limelight yesterday, and Zhuang Rui didn't want to analyze the stones in front of everyone anymore. Sometimes too much limelight may not be a good thing. Today, just helping others look at the rough stones made Zhuang Rui a little dizzy.
"Okay, okay, just do as you say, Teacher Zhuang..."
Lao Guo didn't care. Even if Zhuang Rui just gave him 20% of the share, Lao Guo didn't care much.
After all, this is a breaking stone. In Lao Guo's view, even if Zhuang Rui gets a raise, he will probably earn a few million and give himself 20%, which is only a few hundred thousand.
"Hey, Teacher Zhuang, this can't be done. Everyone is waiting for you to solve the stone..."
"That's right, Teacher Zhuang, aren't you trying to whet our appetites? We spent money to buy materials but didn't understand. This made us unable to sleep when we went back at night..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui's words came out, it aroused public outrage, and the onlookers started making noises.
These people failed to get the imperial green birth yesterday, and today they had a rare opportunity to see Zhuang Rui cutting stones again. Of course, they all encouraged Zhuang Rui to start cutting stones immediately.
"Teacher Zhuang, why don't you untie it on the spot today..."
Lao Guo was very excited when he saw the excited scene. He was just a small figure in the stone gambling circle, but he was extremely proud to be able to get so much attention due to Zhuang Rui's spotlight.
"Yes, Teacher Zhuang, please explain first, we don't have a word..."
The people at the back of the queue also spoke out one after another. They would definitely have objections if someone else jumped in the queue, but if it were Zhuang Rui, he would not be able to solve the stone today. It would be worthwhile to see a master figure solve the stone on the spot.
"Okay, thank you all..."
Seeing the scene, Zhuang Rui thought that if he didn't cut the piece of material, he might not be able to get out of the Jieshi area, so he nodded and agreed.
The remaining piece of material is not big, only weighing about twenty kilograms, but it is a truly top-quality rough stone with thin skin and thick flesh.
While Zhuang Rui moved the rough stone to the stone cutter and looked at it carefully, George asked Steve with a solemn face: "Steve, do you know this Chinese? Why is he so sure? Is it?
I made a mistake, is there really jade in that scrap?"
"I think I saw this person at the British Jewelry Expo the year before last..."
Steve looked at Zhuang Rui and continued: "He probably won the grand prize at the last expo for a purple eye necklace. He went to receive the award. I don't know anything else..."
"Looking at him like this, he seems to be well-known in the jadeite business?"
Although George couldn't speak Chinese, he could still tell other people's attitudes towards Zhuang Rui.
"George, being famous does not necessarily mean you are capable. After those Chinese bureaucrats went abroad, which one did not support them?"
Steve knew China very well and continued: "Maybe he is the junior of that government official. George, you have to know that those people have great influence in China..."
"Well, I think so too, but Steve, did you see something when you insisted on unlocking the stone just now?"
George nodded in agreement, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
"Uh... probably not, um... it's hard to say. George, I personally think that there is a high probability of jade in that stone..."
In fact, Steve was about to untie the last piece of material just now, mainly because he felt a little unwilling, but he didn't really think there was jade in it.
However, after Steve heard what George said, he originally wanted to tell the truth, but then he thought, if Zhuang Rui solved the jade, if he said that he didn't have it now, wouldn't it mean that his level of appreciating raw stones was very poor?
"Oh, it's all my fault for being too impulsive..."
George patted his head regretfully and stared closely at Zhuang Rui, who was drawing lines on the rough stone.
…
"Teacher Zhuang, should you rub the stone or cut it directly?"
Lao Guo saw Zhuang Rui drawing a line on the stone with chalk, and it looked like he was about to go under the knife.
"Let's solve it directly. I'm not very sure about this piece of material. I should be able to tell the difference with this knife..."
Zhuang Rui said with a smile that actually the safest way is to rub the stone first and then take it out bit by bit. However, Zhuang Rui didn't want to be so meticulous and just cut it out and lose some jade.
"Kaka...kaka..."
Zhuang Rui didn't let everyone wait for long. After drawing the line, he started the stone cutting machine directly. Following the white dotted line drawn on the original stone, the huge gear cut deeply into the original stone.
This piece of material was only about ten kilograms in size. After just over a minute, the whole piece of material was split into two, and the smaller piece fell on the ground next to the stone cutter.
"Wow..."
Li Zhen directly poured the prepared basin of water on it, and the people standing in front of the stone cutter suddenly looked straight.
"It's...it's green..."
"The bet...the bet has gone up..."
"Damn, it's really gone up. Come and see, what kind of material is it?"
"Teacher Zhuang's Jade King is not called it for nothing, it's like seeing green with a knife..."
On the cut surface of the rough stone, which was only five or six centimeters in size, a touch of green caught everyone's eyes, and the quarry suddenly began to boil.
