On Monday, Du Ming drove his newly purchased Aston Martin to send Yun Cai to the company.
As soon as Du Ming arrived at the company, he met Bai Mei Gui, who was frowning and seemed to be in a bad mood.
"What's wrong?" Du Ming walked over, "Having trouble? What's going on?"
Bai Mei raised her eyes and looked at him, saying dejectedly, "I went out to play over the weekend, saw a market for gambling stones, curiously went in to take a look, and was cheated out of a lot of money."
"How was I cheated?"
White Rose replied, "There are merchants counterfeiting goods to pretend to be genuine, I didn't recognize them and thought they were good products, only to find out after buying them."
"Gambling stones?" Du Ming raised an eyebrow. "That's a game of luck, not skill. Only old hands dare to play it."
The white rose looked at him and reluctantly nodded, "Yeah, I just wanted to have some fun, but accidentally got played."
Du Ming smiled and patted her, "It's okay, even if you've been cheated, it doesn't matter. I'll take you there and help you cheat them back."
The white rose raised an eyebrow in disbelief, but recalling Du Ming's past behavior, he often had some abilities that they couldn't think of and always managed to surprise them.
"So tonight we'll go together then?" said Bai Mei Gui with some anticipation.
Du Ming said, "Alright, I can do it anytime, these are all small matters."
That night after work, Du Ming told Yun Cai about it, and Yun Cai became interested upon hearing it, saying she wanted to go with the two of them.
Yun Cai and Bai Mei Gui, the two women, followed Du Ming downstairs to the parking lot. Bai Mei Gui looked around but didn't see any familiar cars, however, she saw Du Ming walk up to a black sports car that she had never seen before and open the door.
"Who does this car belong to?"
Du Ming said, "Mine."
White Rose looked at him, "Yours? Where did you get it from?"
Du Ming said helplessly, "I bought it, where else could it be? I just bought it two days ago."
"Did you buy it? Where did you get the money from?"
Du Ming was speechless, why did everyone who saw his new car look like they had stolen it? Did he really look like a lawbreaker?
"What's wrong with me saving up myself? Why can't security guards save money?"
"There's no 'no'," White Rose said with a suppressed smile, "the car is pretty good, you have a good eye for it."
Several people got on the car, Du Ming started the fire, and Bai Mei asked clearly about the road, driving all the way to the gambling stone market.
Upon arrival, the other two people followed Du Ming into the market. The market was quite formal, with nice decorations and some service staff.
The people inside saw that Du Ming's car was a luxury car, and the three people who came down were all wearing high-end customized suits from famous brands. At first glance, they looked like rich people, and immediately took notice.
Du Ming and Yun Cai Bai Mei Gui, the three of them had just walked in when a pretty young lady with a net red face and wearing a cheongsam came over to greet them. "Hello sir, you're here to buy rough stones, right? Let me introduce you to our selection."
Du Ming waved his hand and said, "No need, we can take a look ourselves."
The young lady insisted on continuing to promote, and Bai Mei said slowly, "What are you introducing? Are you introducing unscrupulous businesses, counterfeit goods masquerading as genuine ones?"
The young lady was taken aback by his words, smiled awkwardly, "This lady may have misunderstood, we are a legitimate market, with absolute quality assurance, you can rest assured."
Bai Mei Gui heard her say that and thought of her experience yesterday, so she got angry and wanted to reason with the young lady.
Yun Cai pulled her, "Alright alright, what's the point of arguing with her? Forget it, let's just follow Du Ming for now."
Du Ming waved his hand again, letting the young lady hurry away, and he took Yun Cai and Bai Mei Gui inside.
Inside the market, different stalls were arranged according to the location of the rough stone yard. The stalls displayed various large and small rough stones, dazzling and colorful, with clouds spitting out their tongues. "Don't they all look the same? How can you tell which ones are good quality and which ones are poor?"
Du Ming smiled and said, "These are naturally different in the eyes of those who understand, so it's not good for inexperienced people to play with gambling stones."
Bai Mei's face turned red with anger, thinking that Du Ming was mocking her. Du Ming smiled at her and said, "Today I came to avenge you, I used 200 yuan principal to exchange for 100,000 yuan for you."
Yun Cai and Bai Mei looked at him with disbelieving eyes, Du Ming dropped his gaze back to the stall and scanned it for two seconds, then casually picked up two small stones and beckoned to the service staff, "We'll take these two."
The service staff called out a price of one hundred and eighty-three yuan, Du Ming paid in cash.
Others looked at Du Ming, driving a luxury car and wearing high-end clothes, came and bought two pieces of low-quality rough stones, couldn't help but frown.
Du Ming didn't care how others looked at him and took two pieces of inferior ore to open the ore.
The entire market industry chain is still quite complete. Next to the stalls selling rough stones are places that open rough stones, and next to them are opened rough stones that can be directly appraised and sold.
Du Ming sent two pieces of raw jade to be opened and appraised, and they were valued at over 300. He sold them directly.
In this low-priced range, the ups and downs of the gemstone market happen every day, and everyone is not surprised. Du Ming took out the three hundred he sold and returned to the stall, bought a few more cheap inferior rough stones, and then sold them for over six hundred.
Thus, Du Ming relied on his 200 yuan capital to repeatedly buy at low prices and sell at high prices, eventually reaching over 8,000 yuan.
Yun Cai and Bai Mei watched from the side, initially thinking that Du Ming's repeated buying and selling behavior was quite boring. However, as they went further along, the cost price of the original stones that Du Ming bought became higher and higher, and they began to take an interest.
For them, these tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands are also small change, not worth mentioning. However, seeing Du Ming buy and sell over a dozen times without ever losing money, they started to wonder if he would eventually make a mistake and misjudge an uncut gemstone.
Du Ming always buys the raw stones with a casual glance, as if he's just randomly picking them. When opening the raw stones, he doesn't seem to be nervous or full of anticipation like others do; instead, it seems like he already knows the result.
Yun Cai and Bai Mei watched him with interest, closely observing Du Ming to see if he would make a mistake.
With the money in hand exceeding 8,000 yuan, Du Ming calculated that he could buy another one and exchange it for 10,000 yuan. After exchanging stalls, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, astonished, and picked up a fairly large rough stone from the stall.
Yun Cai asked, "How about it? Is this one okay? Can we sell it for 10,000?"
Du Ming looked up and down at the materials he was about to buy, then smiled confidently. "Interesting, putting this stone here is really not recognizing its value. Selling it for 10,000? No, it's far more than that. Just watch."
