Twenty thousand Hong Kong dollars in HK was equivalent to sixteen thousand yuan in the mainland.
Gu Zuhui didn't know that Gu Ning wanted to buy this Luohan Buddha until now. Gu Zuhui didn't know that Gu Ning wanted to buy this Luohan Buddha from the very beginning. She asked for other things first because she didn't want the boss to know her real intention.
Good, what a clever girl!
After the deal was done, Gu Ning and Gu Zuhui walked to the appraisal center.
Gu Zuhui didn't ask why Gu Ning wanted to buy this Luohan Buddha, and whether it was real or not. He was never a nosy person, and didn't like to interfere in other people's private affairs.
In that case, Gu Ning agreed, because she didn't like to talk too much either.
Before long, they arrived at the appraisal center. Gu Ning had already exchanged her blue and white porcelain vase with the one she had bought. Gu Ning held her own blue and white porcelain vase in her hand, while the one she had bought was already purified in the telepathic eye space.
After the appraisal, it was confirmed that it was real, and it was estimated to be around six million yuan.
The middle-aged man gave Gu Ning six million yuan without bargaining. It was obvious that he was a rich man.
If he didn't have money, he wouldn't have bought a blue and white porcelain vase that was worth nearly ten million yuan.
Since the middle-aged man didn't want to cheat her, she wouldn't take advantage of him. She had spent a lot of money to buy this Luohan Buddha, so it wasn't a big deal for her to pay less. Therefore, Gu Ning offered him five million yuan.
Gu Zuhui was surprised. It was a million yuan after all, not a hundred yuan. However, Gu Ning was willing to pay him less than a million yuan.
However, Gu Ning insisted, so Gu Zuhui didn't reject her again. He was grateful to her.
After that, Gu Zuhui gave Gu Ning his name card and told her that she could call him if she needed his help in the future, and he wouldn't hesitate to help her as long as he could.
Therefore, Gu Ning took his name card and gave him her name card as a courtesy.
After the deal was done, they separated.
Gu Ning continued to shop at the antique street to see if she could pick up more treasures.
After walking down the street, Gu Ning picked up another two pieces of loot. One of them was worth less than a million yuan, while the other was worth less than two million yuan. Today's harvest was not bad.
In addition to antiques, there was also stone gambling, so Gu Ning went to have a look at the street of stone gambling.
Although Gu Ning had a lot of jade now, no one would complain about having too many good things. Therefore, Gu Ning would also buy a good one.
The Stone-gambling Street was a branch in the middle of the Antique Street. It was about 30 meters long and had dozens of shops. It was also a lively scene. In particular, there was a group of people outside a shop, making a ruckus as if something had happened.
Gu Ning walked over to take a look. At the entrance of the shop, there was a huge raw material, about the size of a 28-inch suitcase.
What was he trying to do?
The boss of this shop planned to open this raw material, so he set up a gambling game to bet on whether there was jade in it.
There were several odds for people to bet that there was jade in the raw material. If there was really jade inside, the odds would be 1: 5. Besides, there were four types of jade: low-level, medium-level, high-level and top-level. The odds were 1: 10.
Mid-low-level jade and medium-high-level jade were all medium-level jade.
If people directly guessed what kind of jade was inside, the odds would be 1: 20. However, it was also very difficult, and the premise was that there must be jade inside.
If people bet that there was no jade inside, the odds would be 1: 2, because it was the most likely result.
Seeing that, Gu Ning was excited. She had Jade Eyes, so she could see what was inside at a glance.
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes at once. There was indeed jade inside, but it was very small. It was only the size of a basketball.
The jade was bright green. It was of the golden silk type, and belonged to the medium-level jade.
The price of this jade was around twenty million yuan.
There were 31 people who participated in the gambling game, but 26 of them didn't bet on it. Five of them only bet on what kind of jade it was, but no one bet on what kind of jade it was.
Gu Ning went to the counter to fill in the betting card. Because it was about money, she needed to show her ID card to register.
When the clerk at the counter saw that Gu Ning's ID card was from the mainland, he gave her a glance with obvious disdain. Gu Ning was displeased with such discrimination, but since the clerk didn't say anything, she wouldn't say anything about it.
Gu Ning filled in the betting card with the amount of a hundred thousand yuan. She bet that there was jade of the golden silk type inside.
Gu Ning just wanted to have fun, not to make money, so she only bet a hundred thousand yuan on it.
The odds were 1: 20. If she won, she could win two million yuan, which was less than a tenth of the value of the jade inside, so it wasn't excessive.
However, the clerk at the counter was shocked when he saw the bet. A hundred thousand yuan wasn't a lot for Gu Ning, but it was a lot for the clerk at the counter. Moreover, she was the only one who placed such a high bet.
The others only had a few tens of thousands, or at most, fifty to sixty thousand.
Most importantly, she directly placed the bet with the highest odds. Why was she so confident? Was she crazy about money?
Gu Ning was disdained by the clerk at the counter. He thought that she was a fool who gave him money, but it was impossible for him to refuse it.
The clerk at the counter told his boss about it later, and his boss was also surprised.
This girl was too generous!
However, he didn't think that Gu Ning was willing to bet because she knew there was jade in the raw material. He simply thought that Gu Ning was just guessing and spending money for fun.
Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Within two minutes, Gu Ning stopped and began to draw lines and cut the raw material.
Ever since she started to draw lines on the raw material, everyone was staring at it nervously, because it was the key for them to make money.
Those who bet that there was jade hoped there was jade inside, while those who bet that there wasn't jade naturally hoped there wasn't jade inside.
As time passed, the raw material was cut off piece by piece, and it was white again and again. Those who bet that there was jade were disappointed again and again, while those who bet that there wasn't jade were happy.
Only Gu Ning was calm.
Because Gu Ning placed the highest bet, the clerk at the counter paid more attention to her. He thought that she would be disappointed and sad when there was still no jade inside after the raw material was cut off layer by layer, but to his surprise, she was still calm.
In that case, the clerk at the counter could only think that she didn't care about the money.
Anyway, he didn't think that Gu Ning was confident. She was just an ordinary girl. How could she know there was jade inside?
