Chapter 130 Henry Jade

“Who said I’m refusing? I’m sure I’ll win, so why wouldn’t I accept? However, Andrew, just make sure you don’t back out once you lose. After all, these people are all witnesses to our bet!”

Little trolleys laden with ordinary–looking stones were wheeled out and placed on the central stage, each labeled with a price tag. That’s when an elder gentleman in a suit and gold–rimmed glasses approached

“Andrew, I hope I’m not too late?”

“Henry, you’re right on time!” beamed Andrew, Introducing the newcomer with full pride. “Does everyone

Khis gentleman? He’s Florida’s most renowned appraiser, Henry Jade. He just needs one look to tell

whether these stones contain jade or not”

After introducing Henry, Andrew looked at Jessica and continued, “Jessica, giving this country boy ten million might just be the lowest–return investment you’ve ever made. I bet by the end of tonight, he won’t

have a penny left.

I paid a handsome fee to have Henry here to assist me. So, Jessica, if you wish, you’re welcome to join the gamble. With Henry here, I might not make a tenfold profit, but at least I can ensure you won’t make a loss tonight. With some luck, you could win around 20%.”

“No need!” Jessica declined coldly before adding, “I trust my Daniel! Since he says he can make a tenfold. profit, I believe he can do it!”

Jessica’s words made Andrew somewhat uncomfortable–he wanted to prove to her he was right. So, he suggested to Henry, “Although you’re well–known in Florida, Henry, many here in New York might not be familiar with you.

The stones are ready, how about you show Jessica–and everyone else–just how skilled you are?”

“As you wish,” Henry agreed before approaching the stones, tapping them with his finger.

Curious, Andrew asked, “Henry, what are you doing by tapping those stones?”

“I’m listening to the sound.”

“Sound?”

“These stones are ordinary on the surface, but if there is jade inside, the sounds emanating from within will be distinct. However, ordinary people don’t know how to make the stones produce these sounds, nor can they discern the differences.

It took me decades to master this technique–using sound to determine the presence and value of jade Inside a stone. I dare say, throughout the USA, you might not find even ten other people with this skill.

Being able to judge whether a stone contains jade, how much of it, and its worth solely by sound–I don’t mean to boast, but I’m confident I’m the only one in the whole USA who can do it!”

After boasting of his unique prowess, he pointed confidently to a stone before him. “You can pick this one, Andrew. While the jade quality inside might be ordinary, the quantity is substantial.

I reckon if you purchase this stone and extract the jade within, you might not get a 100% profit, but a 20-30

% return is guaranteed.”

Andrew couldn’t tell the difference between the stones and the jade, but he understood the price tags,

The stone Henry pointed out wasn’t too costly, marked at 1.98 million. Producing his bank card, he

instructed the staff, “Let’s go with this one. Charge it to my card.“.
