Chapter 531 - 531: shall we Make A Bet?
Translator: 549690339
“It’s true that the plot of a typical novel is like this. However, I think that the jade board finger is very likely to be the complete opposite of what we think.”
Lu Sicheng did not agree with Fu Yunzhi’s words. After hearing the host’s words, he had asked the waiter to keep an eye on whether anyone went forward to claim it.
However, it had been more than ten minutes, and the waiter had not come to report to him. This meant that no one was going to pick up the jade thumb that Li Muyao had picked up.
If she didn’t have it for the whole day, the person in charge of the charity auction would probably return the jade board to Li Muyao.
This was because this venue had been rented half a month ago. In other words, from the time it was rented until now, the only people who could move around here were the invited guests and the staff.
If none of the guests or staff lost it, it would naturally belong to Li Muyao.
“It can’t be, right? Let’s wait and see, let’s make a bet? If I win and you lose, the logic will be the same. How about that?”Fu Yunzhi felt that if someone had picked it up in the female washroom here, it must have been someone who had come today. It was normal for them to take it away.
Therefore, he made a bet with his good friend Lu Sicheng that he would definitely win.
“Sure. Didn’t Ling take a fancy to that small courtyard house? Whoever loses, who will send them off?” Lu Sicheng was also a magnanimous person, and this was also a gambling game that he and Fu Yunzhi liked to play when they were bored.
Each of them owned a small courtyard house in Sha Dao Hai. They had bought it with Huo Jiling for fun. In the end, he had only lived for a dozen years, and the value of a courtyard house had already risen from a hundred thousand yuan to tens of millions.
At first, they were not as rich as Huo Ling, so in order to follow the trend and support their friends ‘investment after returning to China, each of them bought two small Siheyuan houses.
Unlike Huo Jiling, who had a large courtyard house that cost more than 100,000 yuan each. Huo Jiling’s set was five to six times more expensive than theirs.
More importantly, a few years ago, Huo Jiling had already cashed in a few sets of cash and used the cash to invest in some companies. The small workshop that used to be inconspicuous had now become a company with hundreds or thousands of people.
This was why they called Huo Jiling an investment genius. Huo Jiling would return to China once or twice a year. Each time, he would stay for less than a week. However, in less than a week, Huo Jiling would definitely spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on investments. And it was getting more and more year by year.
Those who didn’t know would only know that the second young master of the Huo family was studying abroad and founded a technology game company. After returning to China last year, he opened two branches in the country in a
row. He could be considered to be the ‘third generation of the rich who started from scratch’ in Jin City without relying on his parents.
However, those who knew Huo Jiling would know that even though he had lived abroad since he was young, he would make some investments every year after he returned to China. It was because of Huo Jiling’s good taste that he had so much money to participate in those lousy antique auctions in China. He bought the antiques and donated them to the Chinese museum for free.
Creatures like antiques were not something that ordinary people could play with. If they wanted to play with or collect them, they would need a strong financial support.
Otherwise, why would Huo Jiling, who had lived and studied abroad since he was young, be so close to the Chinese government?
It was the same when he went to the United States to discuss cooperation. China had sent people to negotiate for many years, but they couldn’t reach an agreement. Huo Jiling did it once he stepped in. He did have the right time and place, but it was really Huo Jiling who helped.
“No problem. I think you might really lose this time. After all, Ling’s wife couldn’t be guessed by ordinary people. You had to think about his wife’s natural koi luck.”Lu Sicheng analyzed seriously.
“Who’s afraid of who!”
Fu Yunzhi was still a national researcher. Even if he believed in metaphysics, according to the information he had obtained, the jade thumb that Li Muyao had picked up would be claimed by someone before the charity auction ended.
Li Muyao and Huo Jiling didn’t know that Lu Sicheng and Fu Yunzhi had made a bet for the jade thumb that Li Muyao had picked up. Even if they knew, they would only smile and join them to see who would lose.
Moreover, Li Muyao had picked up things a few times in the past, and there would always be owners claiming them.
Li Muyao felt that this time’s words should be the same.
However, after the auction ended, Huo Jiling donated sixty million yuan on behalf of the Huo Corporation and Wanhong Technology, and Li Muyao donated one million yuan.
After the auction ended, it was time for the charity celebration party.
Before the celebration banquet began, the person in charge of the charity auction stood in the center of the stage again.”Thank you to all the guests who have come today, and thank you to all the companies and guests for their donations. Our Children and Women’s Foundation will record the donations of each company and each friend without any details. From millions to a small screw, we will announce it in the accounts.
Once again, on behalf of all the children and women who had been helped, I thank everyone for their love and donations.
The last thing was the jade thumb that Li Muyao had picked up in the No. 3 female washroom a few hours ago. No one had claimed it. I’ll say publicity three times for the last time.
If no one comes to claim it after the celebration party ends, then I can only give it to Ms. Li Muyao. She picked up the jade plate finger. I hope the owner can contact our charity foundation as soon as possible.”
After the person in charge repeatedly emphasized the jade board finger, he stepped down.
“Ling, why don’t you think anyone went to claim it? Didn’t you say that there was an antique expert here today and that he had appraised the blood jade and confirmed that it was a thousand-year-old blood jade?
How could no one notice such an expensive item? Or did he really not want it anymore? Isn’t this a little too strange?”
The thousand-year-old blood jade was no ordinary jade. Moreover, the antique expert had also appraised it. It was worth 30 million yuan.
It was a genuine antique.
A thousand years! Not a hundred years! The research value was also very high. Moreover, the experts were certain that this was not a product of an ancient tomb. It should be a blood jade that had been passed down from person to person for thousands of years!
Huo Jiling was also surprised. After all, Li Muyao had picked it up in the second round of the auction and had been promoted to the auctioneer. In the first round, she had reminded the owner.
In the end, the auction ended and the celebration party had already begun, but no one came to claim it. It was simply unbelievable.
A family antique worth tens of millions of yuan was lost, and no one noticed?
Or rather, who would be so magnanimous as to not care at all? Shouldn’t he come back to look for something so valuable that he lost it?
