Chapter 18: Luck or Strength

"Hmph, less nonsense, let's get started!"

Kong Qide held the identity of the Kong family, and wanted to deliberately let the other party once, but he didn't know that this Ma Lie still didn't know what to do. Kong Qide didn't have the patience to talk to him too much, and decided to use his Kong family's strength in the jade business to completely defeat Ma Lie and save a little face in front of his fiancée.

"Please!" After speaking, Ma Lie also put away his smile, and the good show was still to come.

Ma Lie began to concentrate, and the red light flashed in his eyes, the Ziyuan Divine Skill was indeed magical, and the perspective function inside quickly scanned the surrounding stones, and he already knew it in his heart.

"Brother, can you do it?" Mo Qing'er didn't worry about him at all, pinched his arm and asked worriedly.

Ma Lie touched the back of his sister's head and smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Qing'er, brother has his own measure." ”

With the perspective on his body, Ma Lie is full of confidence, even if Kong Qide is good at gambling stones, we don't have to be afraid of him.

"Boss, if you want to see the stones, you have to get closer and observe!" Song Ning saw him looking around, as if he didn't know where to start, so he reminded him in a low voice.

"Uh, that's right!" Ma Lie felt a void in his heart, realizing that it was right for him to have an ability, but if it was not necessary, he should try to keep a low profile.

So, he pretended to look left and right on a stone, judging his head, and made the appearance of a senior expert. However, he still couldn't escape Song Ning's gaze: "Boss, it's not enough to just look at the appearance, you have to look at the color revealed inside the stone!" ”

Song Ning knew that Ma Lie was a layman, and he definitely didn't have much chance of winning this gamble with Kong Qide. But he is an employee and personal assistant in his store, no matter what the victory or defeat, he can help a little.

"Don't worry, I have another way to identify it!" Ma Lie smiled confidently, and looked at the other stones again.

Kong Qide is an expert, and at a glance, he knows that Ma Lie is a layman, so he despises it a little in his heart.

It's just that when I saw the three superb beauties walking around behind Ma Lie, especially his fiancée Hang Xuezhen, her eyes were a little playful when she looked at Ma Lie.

He was jealous, and couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Hmph, boy, you can't play, right, do you want Young Master Ben to teach you two tricks?" ”

Ma Lie waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, you are not qualified enough." ”

Kong Qide said contemptuously: "I'm not qualified enough? Hmph, I've touched more stones than you've eaten salt, so don't lose too badly. ”

Ma Lie said: "Winning or losing is not something to say with your mouth. ”

"That's right, you wait to buy the defective product I picked for you." Speaking of the outcome of this gamble, Kong Qide couldn't help but feel a little proud and confident.

Based on his experience looking at stones over several years, he quickly singled out the five wool stones that he thought contained the worst jadeite.

According to the strange bet between the two just now, ten times the purchase of the stones selected by the other party. If Ma Lie had bought these five stones for ten times the price, he would have lost a lot.

Ma Lie was not ambiguous, and randomly picked out five raw stones the size of watermelons from the stone pile.

However, whether there is jade in it or not, Song Ning, who is half an insider, can't see it.

Hang Xuezhen and Mu Qing'er were even more confused, and said in their hearts: This stone is so big, I don't know if there will be a treasure hidden in it, if there is, Ma Lie lost the gamble, not to mention, but also let Kong Qide pick up the cheap.

Gambling stones rely on years of accumulated experience and judgment ability, Kong Qide is a senior expert in this area, and the stones selected must be the second, and he is very confident in this.

On the contrary, Ma Lie doesn't know anything about gambling stones, and he can't tell whether the stones he picks out are good or bad, and if he is lucky, he may even pick a treasure.

No matter how you look at this gamble, Kong Qide has the advantage, everyone present thinks so, perhaps, only Ma Lie doesn't think so!

Confident and anxious to make a fool of Ma Lie, Kong Qide asked a master cutter to cut open the stone he had chosen to see the color inside.

After cutting, just as Kong Qide judged, only two of the five stones contained fist-sized jadeite, and the color was very light, and the emerald green was not enough. It is known as a defective product in the industry and is worth less than 10,000 yuan.

He picked out five stones and estimated the size and surface color, ranging from two to three thousand yuan for one stone, adding up to just over nine thousand yuan.

According to the gambling contract, Ma Lie wanted to buy these five stones worth 10,000 yuan for 90,000 yuan.

Obviously, in this game, Ma Lie lost a lot.

Kong Qide finally showed a winner's smile: "Hehe, Ma Lie, this young master didn't treat you badly in this game, it contains jadeite, congratulations on buying such a good stone, take it home and make a few pieces for your mother, pray for good luck in the coming year, haha!" ”

"That's right, don't hurry up and thank your Young Master Kong!"

"Hehe, if you want to fight with our Young Master Kong, go back to your mother to study for a few years before you come."

A few followers behind Kong Qide were unforgiving, and they laughed at Ma Lie in front of each other, intending to win the favor of Young Master Kong.

Ma Lie's expression was calm, waiting for them to laugh enough.

Kong Qide raised his hand to signal them to shut up, looked at the five stones that Ma Lie had picked out, and said with a smug smile: "Ma Lie, it's time for you to cut it!" ”

"Brother, I believe you will be able to defeat him!" Mu Qing'er couldn't get used to the arrogant faces of Kong Qide and others, so she cheered up Ma Lie loudly.

"Hmm!" Ma Lie replied faintly, and motioned for the cutter to begin.

"Ma Lie, you must win"

Hang Xue is really cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and she doesn't make too many moves, but she is very conflicted in her heart. She knew that it was her fiancé who was betting against Ma Lie, but she didn't know why, and always hoped that Ma Lie could win.

However, Kong Qide is the eldest grandson of the six major families after all, and he is afraid that Ma Lie will offend Kong Qide too badly, and I am afraid that it will not end well in the future.

A few minutes later, the first jadeite raw stone was cut.

"Wow, it won't be!"

"There is no jadeite in this stone."

"Whoever buys this stone is cheating."

The first stone that Ma Lie picked out was cut in half, and with the astonishment of many onlookers, Ma Lie also saw a piece of crystalline stone mixed with white in the first stone that was cut out. Not to mention the remnants of jadeite, there is not even a little hair.

"Impossible?"

Kong Qide was unexpectedly stunned, and it was not good for him to be a teacher. I didn't expect Ma Lie's luck to be so good. A wool stone that had no value was actually picked out by him, was it intentional or unintentional?

Of course, this stone is good luck for Ma Lie, but it is a fool for Young Master Kong. The stones selected by Ma Lie were large and thick, each of which cost about 20,000 yuan.

It can be said that Kong Qide wants to spend 200,000 yuan to buy this stone, which has no value.

Of course, Young Master Kong is not short of money, but he can't afford to lose this gamble, let alone lose this face.

Soon, the second stone, there was no jade in it. The third piece was cut out, and there was still no jadeite ingredient in it

The fourth piece was cut out, and without exception it was the most worthless scrap.

The crowd of onlookers was dumbfounded.

It is true that gambling stones are risky, and there is no reason to cut out such bad stones one after another.

Once or twice is due to luck, and after three or four times, it is not its own ability.

At this time, they realized that this young Ma Lie must be a senior expert, and he has a lot of attainments in gambling stones.

People can't look good, and Ma Liepinshi's attainments are definitely a lot higher than Kong Qide's.

"This guy has really vicious eyes."

"All he picked out was scrap"

"Absolutely deliberate"

Seeing this surprising scene, the crowd of onlookers couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations.

They all knew that Kong Qide's gambling game had just come over to watch, and they also knew the rules of this gambling game, betting on who picked the worst stone.

Before, the five stones that Kong Qide picked out for Ma Lie were enough pits, who knows, the stones that Ma Lie picked for Young Master Kong were even worse, and the four stones had almost no value in them, and it would be ugly to take them back to build a house.

Kong Qide couldn't believe his eyes, the arrogant face he had put on earlier was long and smelly.

In my impression, this coincidental Ma Lie was able to accurately pick out the four most inferior stones, which was really unreasonable.

Fortunately, this gamble is not over yet.

Kong Qide had already realized Ma Lie's superiority, but he still had a fluke mentality, and said disdainfully: "Hmph, don't be happy too early, there is still the last stone that has not been cut."

"Young Master Kong, don't hold on, take the initiative to admit defeat and maybe save a little face!" Ma Lie kindly reminded him.

In fact, Ma Lie was not happy at all, and there was no need for this. Because, he had already seen that the color of the last stone was similar to the four stones cut out earlier.

Sure enough, the fifth piece was still a low-grade scrap, a stone of no value.

"Make no mistake, he picked such a rotten stone?" Kong Qide and his companions were dumbfounded.

The five stones he found were big and thick, and they were worth 100,000 yuan before they were cut, plus the bet they bought tenfold, Kong Qide spent 1 million yuan to buy the five most inferior stones this time.

In this game, it is already clear who wins and who loses.

Ma Lie smiled at Kong Qide and said: "Young Master Kong, you don't have to be so willful if you have money, buy five rough stones, and take them back to build a thatched pit." ”

"Don't be complacent!"

Kong Qide was unbearable with shame, glared at him with vicious eyes, and shouted unwillingly: "There is a kind of one more game, bet on something else." ”

Ma Lie smiled faintly: "I just like to be reasonable, you can play how you want!" ”

Mu Qing'er completely bowed to him, gently pinched Ma Lie's arm, and praised: "Brother, you are so amazing!" ”

Ma Lie raised his face and said, "What's amazing, your brother has picked the worst stones, and they have been spread out, how can he mix in the jade world in the future." ”

Song Ning admired: "Boss, don't be modest, if you can pick out the worst, then you will definitely be able to pick the best." ”

Ma Lie smiled and didn't deny it, subconsciously looked at Hang Xuezhen, and saw that she was looking at herself with suspicion, as if she didn't understand her ability.

In fact, she really couldn't understand how many secrets were hidden in this Ma Lie. Before, his academic performance was the worst in the class, but after just a few days, he actually jumped to the first place in the class. Although he has his own counseling in it, his progress is too obvious to make sense.

How did he do it, Hang Xue really didn't figure it out yet.
