Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 312
Chapter 312: Does It Taste Good?
Lin Lei couldn’t stand it anymore. “Can you guys be considerate of my feelings?”
Xu Cheng looked at him from the corner of his eyes. “What about you?”
He meant to say, What does us flaunting our love have to do with you?
Lin Lei: “I”m still single, have you thought about my feelings when publically flaunting your love? Especially because it’s you, Brother-in-Law! I’m more handsome than you yet you already found the love of your life. How is this fair!”
Xu Cheng: “Who said you are single? Don’t you still have your left and right hands? Believe me, Lei, just practice three or five more years and you will be able to surpass me.”
Lin Lei: “Then I will flaunt my love in front of you every day after I get a girlfriend. With my looks and assets, if I can’t find a pretty girl to be my girlfriend, I won’t be able to face God for the gifts he had given me.”
Xu Cheng: “Even if you get one, she won’t be as pretty as my girlfriend. The key thing is, you are so handsome, yet you couldn’t find a girlfriend that’s hotter than mine. You tell me if you are a failure or not? I’m not boasting, but even if you travel the world, you won’t be able to find a beauty that can match your sis.”
Just as Xu Cheng finished, he was scolded by Lin Chuxue.
“Why are you blabbering the truth?” She said and left, content. It was obvious that she was quite satisfied and happy by Xu Cheng’s praise.
Then, Xu Cheng went back to rubbing the rock and left Lin Lei to the side.
On the other side, Benjamin felt his heart ache a bit after he opened the second rock!
“You said the return on this rock should be bigger, and you quoted me 5 million yuan on this one, right? You said you would be able to easily get some green, and if it’s a large area of green, you could make a bracelet and easily make a dozen million. Now, look at the dull white inside, you tell me how much it’s worth? It’s trash! No one would even buy it for 500 thousand yuan! If you make it into a necklace and gift it to other people, they might even consider whether they should take it or not.”
Benjamin wiped the sweat off his forehead and picked up another rock.
“I just don’t believe I had bad luck on all three!”
After he put the third rock in, he began feeling a bit anxious. It was understandable for the first two to not work out, but if his third pick was also trash, then it would be a bit humiliating. Even if people guessed randomly, they would be able to get a few valuable ones, yet as a professional, it would be pretty shameful if he were to fail three picks.
After the last one was cut open, Benjamin didn’t dare to take it out.
Lin Guiren glared at him. “Take it out.”
Benjamin hesitantly picked up the rock with two hands, and he opened it along the cut. It turned out that this rock was even worse than the other two. There was a bit of jade on the surface where he shone the light on, but the inside was just too gruesome to look. In other words, for a stone that was 40 cm in diameter, there was only a bit of jade on the surface and the rest was all rice white, making it one of the most common stones.
Benjamin’s heart was shattered.
“How about this rock then? Remember how much you quoted me on this?” Lin Guiren heartachingly jumped up in fury. “8 million! Now, other than the outside portion that might be able to be made into little rings, you tell me how I am going to breakeven with a cost of 8 million? This is why I want you out of the company!”
Benjamin got angry out of embarrassment as he replied, “I’m not here for work or to report to you, I’m just competing with Xu Cheng. Why are you scolding me? Rock gambling is like this, and even though the three aren’t worth much, it’s still worth about a million yuan combined. If Xu Cheng’s rock could be worth more than my three rocks, I already said, I will go eat sh!t! And I will just return the money I pocketed.”
Lin Lei: “Why did you change again? Didn’t you say my brother-in-law just needed to get a stone that’s worth more than 10 thousand yuan?”
Benjamin coughed and said, “This stone cost me 200 thousand yuan when I bought it, so if he can’t get something of higher value out of it, then it means he lost money too.”
Xu Cheng: “Whatever you say.”
He was almost done, and there was already a head that was exposed to the outside world. It was pure green. He asked, “Master Benjamin, if I’m seeing green, how much is this stone worth?”
Benjamin: “How big?”
Xu Cheng: “About the size of a grown man’s fist, and the thickness is enough to be made into two bracelets.”
Benjamin snorted, “If the color isn’t too good, then probably just 600 to 700 thousand yuan.”
Xu Cheng: “Then what if the gloss is like water and it’s semi-transparent with no impurities?”
Benjamin laughed out, “Impossible. If it’s really green, smooth, and has no impurities, and even semi-transparent like glass as you said, then each bracelet from this material can even be hyped up to 20 million.”
“Then two would be 40 million?” Xu Cheng asked.
Benjamin: “A lot more. Not just bracelets, the rest could be made into rings, earrings, and necklaces, and those can be really pricey too. Just a little bit of this green on a ring is enough to make it 40 to 50 thousand yuan.”
Xu Cheng nodded. “Then does that mean I win?”
As he said, he put his stone onto the table with the green side up and grinned. “I actually really haven’t seen anyone eat sh!t yet, so I’m looking forward to it. Mr. Benjamin, thank you for setting a great precedent. I will get someone to bring you some good sh!t!”
Benjamin’s eyes stared wide open as he looked at the pure green rock.
Not to mention him, even Lin Guiren’s eyes were wide open as he stared right at it.
Benjamin was still in a bit of disbelief, and he reached out, trying to touch it just to make sure Xu Cheng didn’t inject some kind of coloring to trick him. Lin Guiren directly slapped his hand away. “Move the fack out of the way. The company is lacking some good quality raw material to reinvigorate the business. You can move out of the way, don’t you dare touch it!”
As if this rock was his lifeline, Lin Guiren held it up like a baby and began wiping the surface with his suit’s sleeve.
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn’t feel more awkward.
“Come on, our dear uncle, I guess you really wanted to find yourself an excuse to eat sh!t, or else you wouldn’t have been so anxious to make such a bet. Come on, I will take you to the washroom and produce a fresh pile for you.”
Benjamin was a bit reluctant. “Can I just return the money?”
He was afraid that Xu Cheng would really force him to go eat some sh!t, so he said seriously to everyone in the Lin Family, “Really, I will return the money!”
Then, he took out a debit card from his hand and said, “There are about 50 million euros on this card, I think we should just let sh!t go wherever it belongs. As for the bet, I admit I lost, so here’s the money.”
Xu Cheng looked at the others. “What do you guys think?”
Lin Guiren impatiently waved his hand. “Whatever.”
Right now, all he could see was that rock, and he immediately ran away with it to some other place to continue to wipe it down.
At this moment, the butler walked in from outside, carrying a few cups of ice cream, the kind with chocolate sprinkled on top.
Xu Cheng immediately took over Benjamin’s bank card and laughed. “We are a family, how can I possibly make you go and eat sh!t? Right? Uncle, look, you are even sweating, I just told you not to make a bet this big. If you weren’t Chuxue’s uncle, I might’ve really dragged you out to eat sh!t.”
Then, he helped the butler pass around the ice cream, and then he also grabbed one and handed to Benjamin as he put a spoon full of his into his mouth. Then, he said, “This ice cream shop just opened down the street. I went and tried it, and it tastes pretty good. Give it a try.”
Benjamin finally let out a breath of relief. Putting the ice cream by his nose, he felt that the chocolate smell was pretty strong so he didn’t think too much. But after taking in a spoon, that fresh smell of sh!t filled his entire mouth.
Xu Cheng tried to hold in his laughter as he asked, “How is it? Pretty good, huh?”
Benjamin: “Faaaaaack!”
