Chapter 446 Black Card
A stall owner with a pendant on his neck said, “Hey, young man, come and have a look. You will be sati
sfied!”
Different from other small stalls, this person’s stall was extraordinarily large. Behind him was his shop, and there were many people around the stall.
Orville and Janet walked over. The stall owner showed a kind smile.
The stall owner looked at them, and said in a tentative tone, “Looking at your outfit, you don’t look like
an expert.
Why don’t I recommend it to you?”
“No need, we can take a look at it ourselves.” Orville declined politely.
It was not the first time Orville had been here, and he knew the rules here. Things that the vendors reco
mmended to
newcomers were not good.
The stall owner smiled kindly, and didn’t feel embarrassed. He walked away with a smile, but he was sti
ll paying
attention to them.
A red velvet cloth was spread on the table, and each rough stone was covered with a glass cover.
A small lamp with soft light was hung on the top of the stall, illuminating each rough stone with a myste
rious beauty,
which was a rare cleanliness on the whole street. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Janet’s gaze swept across the table. She finally fixed her gaze on a rough stone of medium size.
Orville followed her gaze, took a step forward, and reminded Janet in a gentle voice.
“Janet, the shell of this stone
is too thin. Although it looks beautiful, there is a high probability that it will produce variegated jade, whi
ch is too risky.”
In fact, according to Orville’s experience, this piece of rough stone was thin and small. It was probably
not good, otherwise it would not have been kept here for so long.
However, Orville didn’t say it directly. On the one hand, Orville thought that his words would affect the o
wner’s business. On the other hand, this was the first stone that Janet liked, and he didn’t want to disc
ourage her
enthusiasm.
Before Janet could answer, the owner had already walked over quickly.
“Young man, you don’t understand. Bearing high risk means high reward. This kind of stone is very like
ly to produce high–quality jade!”
The owner looked at Janet expectantly and said, “Miss, may I show you?”
Janet nodded and said, “Okay.”
The owner put on white gloves, took off the cover on the stone, and showed Janet the stone.
Orville narrowed his eyes, showing a bit of sharpness, “It has a cut?”
The rough stone with cuts meant that the texture of jade could be seen from the outside, but there were
also many
situations where what one saw was not what one got.
The shop owner was confident and said, “It is precisely because of the incision that I dare to recommen
d it boldly.”
He took a small flashlight and shone it on the incision..
The jade exposed by the incision reflected emerald green light under the light, and there were scattere
d impurities
inside, like a few silverfish in a clear pond.
“Look at the color and the transparency!
“Is there any need to gamble with this quality of stone? You are so lucky!”
The stall owner praised the stone so much. Orville ignored him and turned to persuade Janet.
“Janet, although it looks good, it’s not easy to cut it completely. If you like this kind of jadeite, I’ll take yo
u to another shop.”
Janet remained silent, and her gaze focused on the stall owner’s hand.
The stall owner was unhappy because he was criticized by Orville again and again. He shouted angrily,
“You kid, have you graduated from senior high school? How dare you teach me about rough stone? D
on’t talk nonsense if you aren’t professional!
“Miss, you are destined to meet this stone. Believe me, you are right. You won’t be at a loss or be foole
d!”
Janet took a closer look at the stone again and asked, “How much is it?”
When the stall
owner heard Janet’s words, he immediately became happy and showed four fingers to Janet.
Seeing this, Orville frowned.
He said, “Such trash with seams and incisions, how dare you ask for 400 thousand dollars?”
Orville turned to Janet. He said with an anxious expression, “Janet, it’s not worth the price. We don’t ne
ed to buy such an uneconomical rough stone.”
Seeing that Orville came with Janet, the owner was worried that Janet would repent after listening to hi
s advice, so the owner quickly said.
“Miss, don’t listen to him! To tell you the truth, I have already promised to reserve this piece of stone for
a regular customer of mine. If you didn’t show great interest in it, I would not break my promise!”
The owner frowned and said, “Well. If you want to buy it sincerely, I’ll give you a discount. How about 3 60 thousand dollars?”
The debate between the three attracted many people to watch. Many people expressed their disapprov
al of Janet’s persistence.
“This girl is too young. She was fooled around by the owner.”
“I don’t think this piece is worth much at all. It’s only worth carving a decoration after it’s cut.”
“A variegated thing can’t be used as a decoration!”
A man in a black gown approached the booth, playing with a bracelet in his hands.
He came to Janet and kindly reminded her.
“Miss, your friend is right. You will lose money if you buy this rough stone. You might as well use the mo
ney to buy a real emerald.”
The man leaned over to Janet’s ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly, “T
he owner is just to trick you. Don’t be fooled.”
Hearing this, Janet turned to look at the man with a calm smile.
She said, “Thank you for your kindness.
“What if I insist on buying it?”
“Is she crazy?”
In the eyes of the onlookers, Janet’s answer was a typical example of people who didn’t know what wa
s good and who were stupid.
“Caleb is a well–
known master of stone gambling. He even said that it is worthless. This woman is still stubborn. She is
stupid indeed.”
“She looks like a silly girl who doesn’t understand and pretends to be experienced!”
Someone persuaded Caleb, “Leave her alone. Let her buy it. Anyway, it’s her money that will be lost.”
Caleb laughed and said nothing.
In Caleb’s opinion, stone gambling was about fate. Since Janet thought that she was destined for this s
tone, Caleb would not interfere too much. Caleb thought that it was enough to give a kind reminder.
The onlookers commented on Janet from her age to her clothes. Everything became a reason for them
to despise Janet.
Orville was angry. He took a step forward to stand in front of Janet, took out something from his arms, a
nd threw it on the table.
“Isn’t it just a stone? If she wants to buy
it, just buy it! Even if she takes it back and plays it as a ball, so what?”
When everyone saw what Orville had taken out, they were shocked.
The stall owner was also surprised.
“Is this a Black Card of the Southey Group?”
“I know the Southey Group What is the use of its Black card? as far as I know, the Southey Group is no
