NovelOnlineChapter 142 It Would Be Foolish Not to Make Money If Nicholas didn't want to take on that kind of risk, after hearing Henry's story, he might have been tempted to sell the Blood Jade to Henry for three million dollars And of course, Henry would be more than happy with such an outcome. Forget three million-Henry would gladly pay even five million for that piece of Blood Jade. After all, it would be foolish to not make money! Henry's story held an ulterior motive, which of course Nicholas could discern, Flashing his signature smile, Nicholas asked, "What are you getting at with that story, Henry? I didn't quite catch your meaning." "My words are clear and simple. Someone as smart as you, Nicholas, couldn't have misunderstood." "I honestly didn't catch your drift. Could you be more direct, Henry?" "This looks like a real Blood Jade, but Blood Jade is hard to preserve, unlike other stones. So, even if it's worth three million now, its value might halve in a month." "What exactly are you suggesting, Henry?" "I've always had a passion for jade. If you're willing, I'd like to buy that Blood Jade for three million dollars." Henry had barely made his offer when Andrew's face turned sour. He had brought Henry here, and just moments ago Henry was mocking the so-called piece of useless plastic. Now Henry was eagerly proposing to buy it? His behavior was a blatant slap in the face to Andrew.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAndrew quickly jumped into the conversation with a reminder. "Henry, why don't you take a closer look? If that thing is a Blood Jade, its quality seems mediocre. Sure, it's bright, but how can we be sure the vibrant red isn't dye? Dyeing is the most common method of faking jade! Henry, you're Florida's top appraiser. You slipped once, which is understandable. But a second mistake could tarnish your reputation." Henry understood what Andrew was driving at but couldn't help his fascination with the Blood Jade. If he could acquire it, all he needed to do was hire a master carver to work on it, and its value could multiply by tenfold. A piece already worth ten million. May could reach a hundred million. To pass up on a deal like that, a once-in-a-lifetchance to turn three million into a hundred million, he didn't have to think twice.
The fee Henry received for traveling from Florida, a mere one million, didn't compare to the potential deal before him. So, Henry didn't feel obligated to pass up a hundred million dollar deal over a one-million-dollar fee paid by Andrew.
"No need to worry, Andrew. This tI'm certain. This Blood Jade is indeed worth three million," Henry asserted confidently and then turned expectantly to Nicholas.
"What do you say, Nicholas?"

"How about this, I add fifty thousand to the price. I'll offer you three million ve and fifty thousand dollars for the Blood Jade. What do you think?"
"Basically, for doing almost nothing, I could immediately make fifty m thousand dollars. Under normal circumstances, I would make this deal without hesitation. But Daniel said this Blood Jade is worth ten million." X
