539. Continue to search (3)
Hearing Irving's words, several picking hands were anxious, and Cyril was particularly anxious: "Impossible! How is this possible? When did Opal become everywhere?"
Li Du shrugged and said, "Who knows? I just said that finding an Opal is not a hassle."
Sophie grimaced at the pickers and smiled excitedly: "I'm willing to accept the loss of the bet. If you lose, we win!"
Cyril was unwilling to give up. The Opal gem he picked up was worth at least 10,000 yuan, and it was possible to sell it for 20,000 yuan.
Ore pickers are not as good as Li Du thought. They look for valuable ore in the national park, and they need to pay 500 yuan each time, and then they can search at will in the next twenty-four hours.
If the pickers get nothing after 24 hours, they will be in trouble. Five hundred yuan is equivalent to being wasted, just like the treasure picker photographed a garbage warehouse.
I can only say that there are many professions in the treasure-picking industry, but none of them can make a profit without losing money, and none of them can be easy and risk-free.
Like Taobao warehousers, they are all the types of people who don’t open for three months and eat for three months. For example, Cyril, who hasn’t made much money in the past month, so he is counting on this order.
As a result, now that the order is about to be ruined, how could he be willing to do so?
Of course, compared with Taobao warehousing, there is one advantage that ore pickers are picking up hands, that is, the investment risk is small.
They have to pay 500 yuan every time they enter the park, but in fact they can always recover the money.
Although it is called "Ore Pickup Hands", they should actually be called strange stone pickers. The chances of picking up opal are very small, and the chances of encountering some strange stones are quite large.
These stones are also very popular, and there are many strange stone shops around them. You can still make some money by selling them.
However, the one that can really make them money is Opal. This thing can make them rich overnight. There are many such people in the circle of picking up hands.
Cyril thought that his chance to make a fortune had finally come. Even if he couldn't make a fortune, it would be good to make a small fortune.
In this way, the money he got was stolen. How could he be willing? He walked directly to Irving and said, "This bet is unfair. There is something wrong with it. Give me the stone."
The fat man Owen was dissatisfied and asked, "Man, what do you mean? Are you saying that I and this guy have joined forces to cheat you?"
He is one of the most famous gem merchants around him. He needs to make money by picking up his hands, and he is naturally inferior to them.
So when Irving said, Cyril was defecated, and he said, "No, no, I don't mean that..."
Owen poked his chest with his finger and said, "You better not be that way, man, you know mine, you know I care about my reputation. Since you chose me to host the bet, you have to respect me!"
Gem merchants pay special attention to credibility. Only when they have high credibility and great fame can they be willing to come to seek transactions.
Cyril shouted: "But this bitch must have a conspiracy! This damn yellow man doesn't know where there is a problem, how can he win? There must be a conspiracy!"
Li Du sneered, this guy is really looking for death, and he is still stubborn at this time? He keeps talking about conspiracy and tricks, which is obviously fighting against Irving.
Cyril didn't care who he offended, and now he just wanted to get his gem back, so he continued to shout: "No one can be sure that he picked up Opal within an hour! I bet that he must have bought a piece in advance, put it in the ground temporarily, pretending he had just found it!"
This possibility is not non-existent, some pickers tend toward him and nodded.
Owen looked ugly and raised the gem and said, "You are all experts. You can see the sand and stone powder carried on it. This can tell when it was unearthed."
As he said that, he looked at a treasure picker and said, "Dak, tell me, when did it be unearthed?"
The picker who was named by him went up and looked at it, and said helplessly to Cyril: "Brother, this stone was just dug out. It was definitely not something that someone bought in advance and put in the soil temporarily."
The pickers looked at Cyril with pity and said, "Forget it, man, I'm willing to accept the loss."
"If you lose, this yellow man may be lucky."
"It's okay, Cyril, just pretend that he didn't find this stone. It's still early now, so you may be able to find another one!"
Cyril glared at his pick-up hand angrily, and he shouted: "Shut up, you bastards! It was you who encouraged me to participate in the gambling game just now. You will compensate me for my losses!"
Now he offended even his partners. The pickers had already supported him, but after hearing this, the people turned around and left, too lazy to care about this matter anymore.
Owen handed two stones to Li Du, transferred another 20,000 yuan to him, and said, "You won."
Li Du gave him two thousand yuan and said, "I can't let you be the referee for nothing. I'll give you at least 10% of the commission, which is what you deserve."
No one can get along, especially what Li Du said is high-sounding.
Owen looked at him with a smile and nodded, "You are very good, man, I like you. If Cyril had been as smart as you, he wouldn't have lost today."
Seeing him get the gems back, someone immediately asked, "Man, are you willing to sell them? What price? I'm happy to quote."
"Sell it to me, give it to me two dollars together, and I'll give you a good price." Another person argued.
Holding two beautiful stones, Li Du shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your attention, but I don't want to sell them because they don't belong to me."
As he said that, he handed it to Sophie and said, "These are for you, my dear, they belong to you."
Sophie waved her hand and said, "Ha? I don't want it, this is yours..."
"This is yours!" Li Du stressed, "I did all this for you, my dear, I know you like it. If you don't leave them, what value do they have?"
Sophie pursed her lips, and she hesitated: "No, Li, you give me such a gift..."
Li Du said: "I know that it's a bit too light for me to give this kind of gift. You helped me take care of Ah Miao and Ganqian noodles, helped me support Ah Ah, and you also chose to favor me. The gift I really want to give you is my second half of my life, and my second half of my life belongs to you."
Sophie is not good at speaking love words and is a shy girl.
After hearing his eagerness, she blushed and took two stones away. She looked at them happily in the sun, looked left and right, and couldn't see enough.
Sure enough, the saying in the jewelry industry is correct: as long as there are dragons and women in the world, the shiny gems will always have a market.
