Chapter 157: 【157】How about we make a bet?_1
“How about this, let’s make a bet? Pick out ten rough stones in one go, and if I can achieve a hundred percent accuracy, you’ll refund everyone the money they spent today. Do you dare?”
Tang Feng provocatively raised his eyebrows at Fang Ziqiang.
Fang Ziqiang did not agree imdiately but stared at him with a puzzled look, seemingly trying to figure out what he was up to.
The onlookers who were watching the commotion all started egging them on.
“Mr. Fang, accept his challenge, what’s there to be afraid of?”
“Yeah, how could there possibly be a one hundred percent accuracy in stone gambling? It’s obviously a scam.”
“If I were you, I would have accepted it…”
For them, regardless of the outco of the bet, there was only upside and no downside.
If Tang Feng won, they could get their money back for what they spent today.
If he lost, they’d just enjoy the show.
“What if you lose?” Fang Ziqiang’s gaze pierced into Tang Feng, his subconscious telling him this young man was likely not so simple.
“If I lose, I’ll buy all the rough stones in this yard.” Tang Feng’s words were earth-shattering, leaving everyone present stunned.
Are you sure? The total price of these rough stones is over a hundred million, are you sure you can co up with that much money?” Fang Ziqiang was also shocked and imdiately followed up.
“I indeed cannot produce that much money, but I can borrow from friends. In any case, I won’t default on the debt.” Tang Feng said with a confidence that made it unclear where his assurance ca from.
Fang Ziqiang imdiately sneered, “Nice talk, where will you borrow so much money? I think you’re just here to play with , aren’t you?”
“I can vouch for him. If he can’t co up with the money, I’ll help him pay it off.”
Before Fang Ziqiang could finish speaking, Song Lele suddenly stepped forward and said emphatically.
Everyone was astonishedly looking at this extrely delicate-featured… person, unable to determine the other party’s gender for a mont.
Almost simultaneously, Xu Xinling also stepped forward vigorously, “I’m also willing to vouch for him. It’s just a billion. I can indeed co up with such money.”
Although she didn’t know what Tang Feng was planning, out of trust for him, she still chose to support him unconditionally.
However, as both were new faces, their credibility was limited.
Fang Ziqiang was still hesitating when Zhou Bingrui also stepped out, “Add to the mix, now it should be enough, right?”
Although he was not yet fully trusting of Tang Feng, he too wanted to see what he was up to.
“With Mr. Rui vouching for you, of course, there’s no problem.” Fang Ziqiang suddenly felt relieved, turned his head to Tang Feng, “Since Mr. Rui is vouching for you, alright, I accept this bet.”
He sneered in his heart.
All the stones he had were duds, not a single piece of quality material to be found, let alone a hundred percent accuracy.
This kid was simply sending him money.
“You agree so readily?” Tang Feng’s mouth curved slightly, “Then let lay out the rules of the ga.”
“Rules? What rules? Aren’t you just guessing which rough stone contains jade?” Fang Ziqiang paused abruptly.
“Wouldn’t that be boring? Let’s change it up this ti, let’s guess which ones don’t contain jade.” Tang Feng finally laid out his trap.
Fang Ziqiang’s facial expression turned drastically, and he refused without hesitation, “No way.”
“Why not?” Tang Feng imdiately retorted.
“Because… who bets like that? It’s too childish.” Fang Ziqiang was completely panicked; he knew exactly what quality his batch of stones was.
If the bet was about guessing which stones contained jade, he was bound to win.
But if it was about guessing which ones didn’t have any, he would surely lose.
“I suggested the bet, so of course, I decide how we bet. You’ve already agreed to take the bet, now you want to back out?” Tang Feng revealed a mocking smile.
“I…”
Fang Ziqiang suddenly was at a loss for words.
He hadn’t expected that Tang Feng would pull such a move, and in a mont of impulse, he had agreed to the bet. Backing out now, in front of everybody, really wasn’t a good look.
Now the gamblers around couldn’t stand by anymore.
“Mr. Fang, the young man isn’t wrong, since it’s his bet, it should be according to his rules.”
“I don’t see any difference between the two thods? Even guessing which stones don’t contain jade is hardly a hundred percent accurate, right?”
“That’s right, choosing ten rough stones at once, at least one should turn out to be jade, right? Mr. Fang is definitely going to win the bet; what’s there to hesitate about?”
“You already agreed to the bet, now you want to go back on your word?”
The crowd loved the drama and encouraged the dispute.
But Fang Ziqiang turned a deaf ear; if he truly agreed to Tang Feng’s terms, it would be a sure loss.
Moreover, the gamblers present would find out that all his materials were useless.
“No, if it’s by your thod, then I’m not betting.” He set aside his concern for face, directly backing out.
“Why not? Can Mr. Fang provide a reason?” Tang Feng had anticipated his refusal; this was exactly what he wanted.
Seeing Tang Feng closing in, Fang Ziqiang inwardly cursed and stepped forward to whisper a threat, “Kid, I advise you not to ddle further, otherwise, you won’t be able leave this yard today.”
Tang Feng pushed him away and deliberately raised his voice, “Mr. Fang, I’m just placing a bet with you, do you need to threaten ?”
“Whoosh…”
The yard instantly erupted.
The high-end players who had co here today were no fools, and all had seen that there was sothing amiss.
“Mr. Fang, that’s not right of you. If you don’t accept, you don’t accept; there’s no need to threaten him, right?”
“I just can’t understand, why won’t you accept this bet? Is there sothing wrong with this batch of materials?”
“The young man didn’t say anything, did he? Why do you threaten him?”
“I get the feeling that Mr. Fang seems a bit guilty, like a thief; what do you think?”
“Mr. Fang, please give us an explanation…”
