Zhong Da Pao was dumbfounded, and so was Liu Zi.
Although they had seen this kind of situation in Hpakant, although they did not know how many stones they had cut in the past, and although Li Du had also cut a stone yesterday, they did not know how many stones they had cut.
However, the stone this time was worth a million dollars!
A million dollars went down the drain just like that. The two of them were heartbroken. To them, this was not a million dollars, but thirty to forty kilograms of rice and hundreds of brand-new stone houses.
Someone beside them reminded them, "The stone is still big, keep cutting."
Zhong Da Pao said, "Yes, yes, Young Master Li, keep cutting. A sparrow's nest hides a great dove. Who knows, there might be jade in one of the stones."
Li Du shook his head and said, "I misjudged. This is indeed a useless stone."
The young man beside him said casually, "Yes, it's a useless stone. Everything will collapse, everything will collapse. Didn't I say …"
"Shut up, you bastard. No one will think you're mute, you know?" Liu Zi gave him a reprimand. The young man grinned and did not dare to say anything else.
Seeing that the two of them still could not bear to part with it, Li Du pushed out one of the stones and said, "Cut it, as fast as you can."
The polishing master started working. After a few horizontal and vertical cuts, the stone that weighed tens of kilograms was reduced to fist-sized gravel. Indeed, there was still no trace of jade.
Li Du pushed out another two stones, but there was still no trace of jade after they were cut.
The people around them sighed.
"It's a total loss. There's really nothing to be gained!"
"A million dollars. If I had it, I would definitely be drunk!"
"D * mn, this is a scam. Abaka is just a silver spearhead. It's hard to live up to its reputation!"
"Ha, this is only one-eighth of Abaka. There's still a lot of it outside. I wanted to buy one, but luckily I didn't. It's definitely a drop!"
"This isn't a drop. It's a complete collapse!"
There was only one stone left. Li Du looked like he had finally broken down. He kicked the stone and said with a sullen face, "I'm not going to cut it anymore. It's just like that."
He asked Godzilla to keep the stones and said, "Go out and throw them away. Don't trouble others!"
The polishing master smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "Brother, you're right!"
Zhong Da Pao was dejected. "Sigh, a million dollars gone just like that!"
Li Du laughed. "I see that you have quite a status here. Everyone gives you face. Logically speaking, you're someone who has seen the world. What's a million dollars to you?"
Zhong Da Pao shook his head. "I've seen a lot here, but it's not like this. What was lost in the past belonged to others, not me."
Pao laughed. Liu Zi said, "Master, first, we have to lose.
Zhong Da Pao rubbed his hands together, his heart aching. "I earned so much yesterday, and now I've lost so much today.
Although he had a reputation in Hpakant, he had no money on him. As the old saying goes, a penny stumps a hero, and he had been stumped by money many times.
Li Du said, "There's no need. I'll take responsibility for the losses. You can split the profits."
Zhong Da Pao refused flatly. "Master Li, you're looking down on us. It's true that I don't have money, but I know the rules of the trade. We're on the same boat. If we catch fish, I'll eat the meat and drink the fish soup. If the boat leaks, I'll sink with it.
That's not a problem! "Li Du suddenly laughed. He said in a low voice," You're a good friend. Master Pao, you don't have to bear the losses this time. I asked for it. "
Zhong Da Pao was shocked. "Huh?"
Li Du waved them out. Someone pointed at him and said, "He bought a Abakar and it's a total loss!" "Abakar is a hit. Don't count on it!"
The Japanese businessman, Yoshida, looked gloomy. Li Du said angrily, "The stone I bought from you is a failure. There's no jade in it. D * mn, did you cheat me?"
Yoshida was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
In comparison, his loss was even greater. Not only was his bodyguard badly injured and sent to the hospital, but the value of the stone he owned had also plummeted because of Li Du's failure.
Previously, he had insisted on the price, hoping to recoup his losses. Now that Li Du had bought a piece and it was a failure, it was likely that no one would buy his remaining stones. He would definitely have to pay for it. How much he would have to pay would depend on how much the remaining stones were worth.
Li Du started to make a fuss, pointing at Yoshida and accusing him of cheating.
Yoshida could only speak Japanese and English, but Hpakant's languages were Burmese and Chinese. Li Du yelled in Chinese while Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi yelled in Burmese. Everyone knew that Abakar's boulder was constantly being cut down.
After achieving his goal, Li Du clapped his hands and left. He brought Godzilla to throw the stones away. When no one was looking, he put the only big stone that was not cut into the black hole.
This stone contained a Sun Wukong, a Sun Wukong that could turn into a top-grade glass jade. Li Du was not sure of its value, but he knew that if Yoshida knew about the existence of this jade, he would definitely commit suicide!
However, he could not do that. An innocent man would get into trouble because of his wealth. Putting aside the question of whether he should give Zhong Da Pao a share of the profit, many people would be willing to kill him to steal the jade if they saw a stranger like him get his hands on such top-grade jade.
Now, with a little trick, he managed to keep the jade and deal a blow to Yoshida, who thought that he had cheated him. It was killing two birds with one stone.
On the street, there were many rubbish bins stacked with stones. After he threw the stones in, some children swarmed over and started searching through the bins.
One of the children asked, "English, Mandarin, Burmese, Japanese?"
Li Du was stunned. "What?"
The child asked in English, and Li Du answered in Mandarin. Hearing his words, the child perked up and said, "Ah, hello, sir. Do you need jade? I have a good piece of Damakan yellow mixed with green. It's cheap. Do you want it? "
"I have a piece of red sand shell with a waxed skin. It's definitely good stuff, sir. Buy mine."
"Let me show you this. It's a thunder stone from the Dachang district. I still have some at home. If you want it, I can sell it to you."
Li Du was quickly surrounded by the children. Some of them continued to search through the rubbish bins, while others took out some cut stones from their bags and showed them to him, trying their best to sell them to him.
He thought that there would be some leftovers, but when he looked at their stones, he did not even need to release the little bug to know that they were worthless. They were all leftovers and had no value.
Liu Zi saw that Li Du was surrounded and waved his hand. "Go, go, go, go. Go away. Don't make a scene here, or Master Liu will beat you to death!"
Some of the children laughed and ran away, while others stayed and stretched out their hands to Li Du. They said pitifully, "Give me something to eat, brother." "I'm not asking for money, but I'm hungry." "Can you buy me some bread?"
