Amid the ridicule from the stinky-faced shopkeeper, Ning Yue bit her lower lip gently and finally spoke;
"The price of this jade is... ninety-six cents."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yue said again;
"It's okay if you don't buy it. After all, this piece of jade is the most expensive piece of jade in my store. There are also affordable ones. I'll go get it and show it to you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Liang Tian pushed the bank card forward and went to his own way;
"That's it, and it can't be sold for only ninety-six cents. The price you told me is the cost price of this jade, right?"
"Actually, don't look at me like this. I know a lot about jade. Your piece of jade is mutton-fat grade Hetian jade seed material."
"Today, the market price for one gram of this kind of jade is estimated to be about five to six cents."
"And to make this piece as big as a square jade plaque, it would have to weigh more than 20 grams, and it would be quite expensive."
"In addition to your labor, shop, etc. costs, this jade... you have to sell it for at least two yuan to make a profit, right?"
"In addition to what you said before, it really touched me a lot. Jade cannot be measured simply by the amount of money."
"So in the end we decided on an auspicious number, how about two dollars and sixty-six cents? Just this number, I feel pretty good, swipe the card!"
After hearing Liang Tian's reverse bargaining, both the beautiful shop owner Ning Yue and the foul-faced shop owner opposite were dumbfounded.
However, after the stinky-faced shopkeeper was stunned for a while, he soon realized it again, and then mocked disdainfully;
"Tch! As long as you don't pay in the end, isn't everything you said before just pretending?"
"Little beauty Ning Yue, I dare to bet you that this guy will definitely find an excuse not to buy it before you swipe his card."
"How can he, a food delivery guy, get more than two yuan? If he can really afford the money today, I will give him the round jade sign just now for free!".c
Hearing this, Liang Tian immediately turned around, pointed at the stinky-faced shop owner and said;
"Okay, this is what you said. There are surveillance cameras in every store here, and what you just said must have been recorded. That is the evidence. You are not allowed to go back on it."
Suddenly being attacked by Liang Tian, the stinky-faced shop owner was a little confused. Before he spoke just now, he really didn't expect that the other party would take him seriously.
Because in his opinion, a food delivery guy definitely doesn't have that much money.
After all, more than two yuan now is equivalent to more than two million before global prices depreciated one million times!
So he was excited for a moment and said what he just said without thinking.
Now seeing that Liang Tian was so serious and even used surveillance cameras as evidence, the stinky-faced shop owner couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.
But if you say it out loud, then take it back, it's a bit embarrassing to lose face, especially if the other person is a food delivery guy.
So after a brief hesitation, the stinky-faced shop owner gritted his teeth and said harshly;
"Okay! But since it's gambling, I can't just pay for it, right?"
"As for you, a food delivery guy, you probably won't be able to afford three melons and two dates if you lose the bet, so I want the little girl Ning Yue to contribute the gambling money."
"If you can't come up with the two yuan and sixty-six cents you spent to buy that piece of Hetian jade seed material, that piece of jade will belong to me. How about a piece of jade and a piece of jade, is it fair?"
fair?
The last words spoken by the stinky-faced shopkeeper almost made Liang Tian laugh.
Liang Tian said he knew jade, and he really knew it. When he was in school, he worked as a part-time student and worked in a famous jade shop. He had seen all kinds of good jade.
It's just that Liang Tian had no money at that time, and he never thought that one day he would buy a good piece of jade and wear it on his body. The bad jade was no different from a stone, so he never came into contact with it.
As for why Liang Tian didn’t choose the jade he knew to invest after global prices depreciated one million times.
It is precisely because I know more that I don’t touch this field.
As the saying goes, gold has a price, but jade is priceless. Jade itself is not suitable for steady investment. The price fluctuates greatly and it is difficult to sell.
Just like this beautiful shop owner Ning Yue, in her shop
All jade can be said to be good jade, and if you meet someone who understands it, no amount of money can be exaggerated.
But if it can't be sold, it won't be able to pay next month's rent.
Therefore, for Liang Tian at that time, he wanted to invest immediately to preserve the value of some of his money. There was no gold in jade, and stable assets such as real estate were very good.
Going back to the fairness that the stinky-faced shopkeeper just talked about, he bet his round jade tablet with the square jade tablet of Hotan seed material owned by the beautiful shop owner Ning Yue.
One is selling for 68 cents, and the other costs nearly one yuan. How can this be fair?
Liang Tian could tell at a glance before that although the round jade tablet was of good quality, at the current market price, the cost was only between ten and two cents at most.
The stinky-faced shopkeeper’s prices are really ruthless, and the profit will be more than three times the price!
So speaking of it, the actual value difference between the round jade brand and the square jade brand of Hotan seeds is nearly ten times!
This is equivalent to someone taking a dime to gamble with you taking a dollar. It’s not fair!
Seeing the shameless face of the stinky-faced shop owner, Liang Tian pretended to hesitate and stopped talking.
Seeing this, the stinky-faced shop owner thought that he had won the bet, but the other party didn't dare anymore, so he immediately changed his attitude to being confident;
"Why, I don't have any money to take out, and now I know I'm afraid and regret it? Haha, that's not okay."
"That's what you said just now. Every store here has surveillance cameras and can record them. It's all evidence."
"I've made this bet! It doesn't matter if you don't agree, just do as you just said. If you can't get the money, give me the jade!"
Seeing the stinky-faced shop owner starting to cheat, Liang Tian still remained hesitant and hesitated;
"Then your piece of jade is not as expensive as this piece of jade. How can it be considered fair? So it makes sense for me to choose not to gamble..."
Before Liang Tian finished speaking, the smelly-faced shop owner said even more cheerfully;
"Then I bet all this store, that's fine. Since you can't afford more than two yuan anyway, what else should I dare not to bet on?"
"I know that you are a habitual offender of pretense, and I must teach you a lesson this time! Hehe, little beauty Ning Yue, you have also suffered miserably at the hands of this poor deliveryman."
"Now you know, these poor people are not worthy of pity at all, because they are not only poor, but they also always like to brag."
"If you want to regret it now and stop gambling, that's fine. Just agree to my previous request and stay with me for a few days. How about hehehehe..."
The stinky-faced shop owner's mind was spinning very fast. Before Ning Yue could say a word, he finished his words and exposed his dirty thoughts.
Ning Yue, who had never agreed to the bet from beginning to end, was about to say something, but Liang Tian stopped her.
I saw the corners of Liang Tian's mouth curl up, and he said with a successful smile;
"Okay, this is a bet you insist on, and you said it yourself that you would bet your entire store."
Then, Liang Tian turned to the beautiful shop owner and said;
"Ning Yue, you can swipe your card now, and the price will be the two yuan and sixty-six cents I mentioned before."
"After swiping the card, show him the list and let us complete the bet!"
