A few minutes later.
Liu Keng looked at Luffy with a smile, "How about it, uncle, I was right!"
Luffy nodded, "Uncle, you are so good at predicting things! The boss's reaction was exactly the same as what you said!"
Liu Keng was proud.
"Hey, that's not true. After all, old man, I have been in Zhenbao Street for decades and have cooperated with countless merchants! I still have this confidence!"
Luffy's lips slightly raised when he heard this, and he complained secretly in his heart.
This old fox can't stand the praise, and he shows his flaws as he talks.
Why don't you let me tease you?
So he deliberately wondered, "Have you cooperated with countless merchants? What does this mean?"
Liu Keng was stunned for a moment and felt a little embarrassed. He patted his head and immediately smoothed things over, "Haha, look at my mouth."
"You're no longer useful as you get older. I made a mistake just now. You should have helped countless people."
That’s right!
Looking at the expression on the other person's face, Luffy sneered in his heart.
However, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he picked up the jade bracelet in his hand and asked, "Master, why don't I give you this bracelet? After all, you paid for it."
Liu Keng quickly shied away, "No, no, no, it's yours if I give it to you as promised, how could I go back on my word!"
Luffy looked up, "But I don't get any reward for my work, so I feel embarrassed."
Liu Keng pretended to be angry, "Boy! I won't be happy if you keep doing this. I, the old man, will never go back on what I have promised!"
"Otherwise, who would you be?"
Although he said so, Liu Keng actually started to curse in his heart.
Why is this guy so stubborn, collecting something to return to his mother-in-law!
If it weren't for the big purpose of tricking you, the old man would have taken the jade bracelet back!
Luffy was secretly using his clairvoyant eyes at this moment, so he naturally knew what Liu Keng was thinking at this moment.
I can barely hold back my laughter.
It’s so much fun to play like this!
Not only can I enjoy the entertainment, but I can also make fifty yuan for free, which is really great.
The most important thing is that he enjoys having everything under control.
After pushing it off for a moment, Luffy reluctantly accepted it.
Liu Keng was so angry that he almost blew his beard and stared at him on the spot.
………
five minutes later.
Li's Jade Wholesale Headquarters.
Two groups, one old and one young, came to the door.
It was Luffy and Liu Keng.
As soon as the two were about to enter, Luffy was attracted by the movement in the store next door.
In the small square in front of the shop, dozens of people were crowded around, seeming to be discussing something.
Upon seeing this, he immediately asked Liu Keng, "What are you doing, uncle?"
The other party glanced at it and said solemnly, "That's the stone gambling scene. It's very lively!"
Luffy instantly became interested, "How about we go take a look first?"
Liu Keng thought about it and thought it would work!
The customers are already at the door, can they still fly?
So he followed Luffy and walked over.
By the time they arrived, the scene was already filled with water.
Fortunately, Luffy is relatively tall, so he can still roughly see the scene inside when he stands on tiptoes.
I saw a spacious venue in the center where everyone was watching, and two people were standing inside.
One is a middle-aged man in a suit who is full of confidence at this time, and he is a buyer at first sight.
The other one is an old master wearing reading glasses and equipment, who is meticulously playing with the cutting machine.
At first glance, he looks like an expert.
At the focus of their sight, a large stone stood there, which was very eye-catching.
Especially under the bright sunshine, there is a thin scratch on the big stone that is as dazzling as glass.
There seems to be a magic that attracts people to watch it!
"Oh! This is a big job!"
At this scene, even Liu Keng couldn't help but sigh, as if he was surprised!
Luffy saw this and asked curiously, "Uncle, is this stone very expensive? Is it worth millions?"
Liu Keng blinked his lips and smiled softly, "A million? You may have underestimated it!"
"With this size and the quality of the jade it reveals, it's worth at least five million!"
Luffy was shocked, "No way, this stone isn't too big, it looks like it only weighs a few hundred pounds!"
Liu Keng shook his head and continued to popularize science.
“When it comes to gambling on stones, it’s not just the size of the stone, you also have to pay attention to the quality of the jade it reveals!”
"Do you see the gap where this stone is exposed? Is it as pure as glass?"
Luffy nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
"That's right, this is the highest quality glass type among jadeite!"
"As long as more than a quarter of the inside of the stone is the same as the outside, the buyer will make a big profit!"
Luffy became more and more curious, "How much can I earn?"
Liu Pei hesitated and stretched out five fingers, "At least it can be doubled. If the area is larger, the value will even double!"
Luffy was really shocked now, "Fuck! Doesn't this mean you can make tens of millions with just a few clicks of your fingers?"
Liu Pei promptly felt the need to lower his expectations, otherwise it would not end well later.
So he said seriously, "That's not how gambling on stones works!"
"Did you ever hear a saying?"
Luffy was a little confused, "What did you say?"
Liu Keng deliberately emphasized his tone, "One sword will make you rich, two swords will make you poor, and three swords will even make you bankrupt!"
Luffy didn't fully understand, "Master, why don't you explain?"
Liu Keng took a deep breath and began to explain, "The so-called "get rich with one blow" means that with one blow, as long as the goods are shipped, everyone will be happy and get rich overnight!"
This is easy to understand, and Luffy nodded in agreement.
Liu Keng continued to explain without any nonsense, "As for the two swordsmen, it is easier to understand."
"When the first shot doesn't ship, if you stop here and try again, someone else may take it. At this time, even if you lose money, you won't lose much."
"But if you dare to strike a second time, the value of the stone will be greatly reduced in an instant if nothing comes out. It may even be completely smashed into your hand and you will lose everything. Do you think this means you are poor?"
Luffy suddenly realized and started to add.
"In that case, does going bankrupt with three swords mean that people have a gambler's mentality and are desperate to buy another stone to get back their money, so that's why they become bankrupt?"
After hearing this, Liu Keng stroked his beard and showed approval.
Although this kid seems to be inexperienced, his understanding is quite high.
It seems that you need to pay attention to your communication method when you try to trick him later, otherwise it will be easy to reveal your flaws.
Just when Liu Keng's idea first appeared, the surrounding crowd suddenly burst into loud exclamations!
The two of them looked closely and saw that the original big stone had been split into two!
and!
The fine lines of the bright glass jade are actually all stones!
Seeing this scene, Luffy knew that his dream of being rich with swords was about to be shattered.
as expected.
The middle-aged man who was still full of confidence before suddenly became a lot more haggard, and his eyes began to become visibly bloodshot!
He also started mumbling to himself!
"Impossible! Impossible! Where is my glass jadeite??"
"Oh my God! This is five million! All my belongings! You can't be so ignorant!"
As soon as these words came out, the melon-eaters who were watching began to talk about it.
"Sigh... Mr. Wang is also pitiful. He seems to have lost tens of millions in the market this month. If he doesn't ship the goods, he may go bankrupt!"
"Isn't it? I heard that this five million is his last fund, and it is said that he borrowed it! I don't know if he will make a second operation!"
"I think it's very likely that he will continue. Looking at him like that, you know he's completely over the top!"
"Yes, yes, I think so too!"
Suddenly, the buzz around him became louder, and many people expressed deep sympathy for Mr. Wang's experience.
Of course, there are also those who sneer at him, thinking that he is just a gambler and not worthy of sympathy!
In this regard, Luffy's heart did not waver, he just silently opened his clairvoyant eyes...
