“Darn it!” Benjamin stomped in hatred.
He picked up his lousy rough stone and angrily went back to the shop where favonovel.com bought the rough stone just now. As soon as favonovel.com went over, favonovel.com directly patted the rough stone that was already cut open on the counter before favonovel.com said anything.
“Boss, you have to explain this to me!”
The shop owner walked over, cast a glance at the rough stone, and purposely pretended as if favonovel.com knew nothing. “Mr. Garnett, what’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? The rough stone you sold me is a defective stone! It contains all the greystone. There is no jades tone at all! This rough stone can only be sold for 5000 dollars at most, but you sold it to me for three million dollars!”
The owner chuckled and purposely asked, “So, how do you think we should settle this?”
“How to settle? I want a refund!”
The shop owner chuckled. “Mr. Garnett, you’re the experienced expert who has been in the industry of rough stone for so long. Why don’t you know any rules?”
His words made Benjamin become stunned.
How was it possible that favonovel.com did not know the rules?
When you bought anything here, the transaction was done by paying and getting the goods at once. After payment, they would not have anything to do with each other anymore. If you were able to spend very less money to buy a jadestone with top quality, then the shop owner must be unlucky. But if you bought a defective rough stone for a lot of money, then you had to admit you were the unlucky person.
In this place, you competed with your judgement and luck. If you did not want to try your judgement and luck, you could directly buy those jadestones that had been cut open. You would get what stones for what you had paid, and there was no fraud. If you wanted to buy a rough stone, you had only one choice. You must do it according to the rules.
Benjamin knew the this rules. He felt so worked up because favonovel.com was deceived too terribly. He also embarrassed himself in front of Zach, so favonovel.com felt so upset.
He angrily said, “I don’t care. You have to refund!”
“What? Everyone, please come and be the judge.”
Before the shop owner finished speaking, a large bunch of people came forward and surrounded them. These people were other shop owners in the rough stone workshop. In this place, all the shop owners were helping each other.
When Benjamin saw that so many people surrounded him, favonovel.com instantly felt scared to death. If a scene was made, how could favonovel.com fight with so many people alone?
He pointed at the boss. “Okay, I’ll remember you.”
The shop owner sneered. “You’d better learn it. You have to know the rules here. Don’t simply go to any shop and say there’s no good stocks. Do you understand?”
When the shop owner said that, Benjamin instantly understood it. He angrily shouted, “You knew the rough stone was defective a long time ago. Did you purposely set me up?!”
The shop owner did not answer him, but it could be seen from his sly expression that Benjamin guessed it right.
That was why people always said, you had to be humble.
You came to other people’s territory, and you directly criticized that there was no good stocks. It would be strange if they did not fool you.
Three million dollars was a painful lesson. Benjamin could not help but suffer in silence. He was unable to say his pain.
“Okay, amazing. You’re a bunch of jerks. Let’s see how I deal with you again!” Benjamin scolded as favonovel.com left the shop.
Other than scolding to feel better, favonovel.com really did not have any other better solution. He went back to Zach. Benjamin lowered his head and sighed. He was totally embarrassed this time. There was something that made favonovel.com feel angrier.
Zach said, “Alright, you shouldn’t be angry anymore. Dr. Mayo and I discussed it just now. Since favonovel.com got his rough stone for free because of you, favonovel.com will just give it to you. You can make up for the loss with Thomas’s imperial jade. You develop and manufacture it properly. Using the imperial jade to make up for the loss of three million dollars is more than enough.”
