"Why are you afraid of Lao Li? Bet with him that we support you!"

"That's right, Old Li! We in the gambling stone industry all came from swords and guns, so we can't lose face! Be alert!"

When the people around saw Mr. Li hesitating, they began to gloat over his misfortune and add fuel to the fire.

"Okay! I'll make a bet! My entire fortune is probably worth about 800,000 or 900,000 yuan, and I'll bet 500,000 yuan with you! I wonder if you can come up with that much money?" Mr. Li curled his lips and looked at Zhang Jianjun with disdain.

"I can't come up with half a million! But my uncle Lou Bancheng can! Today I'm the one making the decision for him. Everyone present can bet with me on whether an emerald can be cut out of this rough stone. To prevent anyone from cheating, we have to sign a betting agreement."

Upon hearing this good news, everyone present started to gamble with Zhang Jianjun. Ten minutes later, everyone had signed the agreement. Lou Bancheng almost fainted when he saw this.

The total amount of the bet is as high as more than two million. If he loses, he will just jump off the building!

"Jianjun, are you sure? The amount of the bet is a bit too big, right? If I lose, won't I lose everything?" Lou Bancheng was a little worried and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lou. A mere two million won't bankrupt you. Just be prepared to use the train car to carry the money! Remember we want a fifty-fifty split!"

Wow! From using sacks to load money at the beginning, to using trucks to load money later, and now using train cars to load money, Zhang Jianjun's words made Lou Bancheng feel dazed. His family had worked hard for three generations in business, but couldn't they make more money than Zhang Jianjun made in one day?

Mr. Li said to the auctioneer of the Crescent Hotel, "I wonder if the Crescent Hotel can guarantee it for us? I'm afraid Lou Bancheng will lose and refuse to admit his debt. What should I do?"

Everyone who was betting against Zhang Jianjun agreed, "Yes! We all asked the Crescent Hotel to guarantee us. If Lou Bancheng defaults, we won't have any good solution."

The auctioneer nodded and said to the crowd with a smile, "Since you all trust my New Moon Hotel, my New Moon Hotel will guarantee it for you! If anyone loses and refuses to pay, I guarantee that he will not be able to leave this hotel."

Zhang Jianjun smiled and looked at Lawrence: "Excuse me, Mr. Lawrence, do you want to bet with me? Opportunities are rare! This is a rare opportunity to make money."

Before Lawrence could speak, Mr. Li could not help but speak: "Mr. Lawrence made a bet with him. The probability of the rough stone producing a top-grade emerald jadeite is only one in a million. I don't believe he has such good luck!"

Unexpectedly, Lawrence smiled and shook his head: "No! Our Lawrence family is not short of money, so I will not participate in this bet. I just hope to have the honor of having a pleasant dinner with Mr. Zhang Jianjun tonight."

Zhang Jianjun smiled and did not refuse. He then took out a pen and drew a few lines on the raw stone. "Master! Just follow these lines to cut the stone. Don't worry about the rest."

Several stone-cutting masters nodded. Since the owner of the original stone had spoken, there was no reason for them to refuse. Soon, several masters took their tools and started to cut the stone.

Ten minutes later, with the joint efforts of several masters, the first cut was completed, and the cut was still stone, with no sign of green.

Seeing this, the person who was betting with Zhang Jianjun immediately opened his mouth and mocked him, as if he was sure of winning. "Haha! I knew this stone was a waste stone. Lou Bancheng, you should prepare two million!"

"Yes, Mr. Lou, I hope you won't jump off the building this time. After all, these two million are just a drop in the bucket for you."

"Haha! We would like to thank Mr. Lou for the gift! Mr. Lou is such a good person!"

Lou Bancheng's expression immediately darkened. He was about to open his mouth to refute when Zhang Jianjun sneered, "What? The stone cutting process hasn't even finished yet, and you can't help but start celebrating? It's still unknown who will win."

Mr. Li was very upset when he saw Zhang Jianjun's nonchalant look, and immediately opened his foul mouth to taunt: "Ouch! Someone can't afford to lose. This is obviously garbage. You can't change it no matter how many times you solve it."

Zhang Jianjun was too lazy to pay attention to Mr. Li. He only wanted to keep the emerald intact, so he didn't cut it green on the first cut. This made Mr. Li mistakenly think it was a piece of waste.

"Masters, please continue. Just cut along the lines I drew."

Mr. Li turned to look at Lou Bancheng when Zhang Jianjun ignored him. "Lou Bancheng! How come your fame in this life was ruined by your nephew? It's really sad! Think about how to pay the two million! Don't let yourself be unable to leave this Xinyue Hotel. It will be a huge loss of face."

Lou Bancheng said coldly: "Shut your stinky mouth and wait and see the result!"

Just as Mr. Li was about to start cursing, he heard someone shout, "Oh my God! It's green! It's a top-grade emerald!"

The stone cutter stopped at this time and looked at Zhang Jianjun. "Why are you looking at me? Just cut the lines the way I draw them!"

Mr. Li and other people who signed the gambling agreement with Zhang Jianjun all sat down on the ground, holding their heads and crying.

"Oh my God! This can't be true. We are bankrupt! That damn Lou Bancheng actually won two million from us."
