Chapter 628 - 628 So He Was A Stooge?
628 So He Was A Stooge?
When everyone arrived at the front of Lingan Residence, they saw that the empty s.p.a.ce in front of the shop was filled with boxes of all sizes.
It was impossible to see what was inside from the outside. It seemed that they could only rely on luck.
Xue Pu stopped and looked at Ye Feng.
“Little brother, don’t worry, our Lingan Residence is not playing around. There are at least one-fifth of the treasures in this blind box, worth more than 500,000, and even more than 1 million. If you’re lucky, you can earn back your capital as long as you pick one. It might even increase by several times or even ten times…”
Hearing his introduction, the surrounding crowd immediately became excited.
They didn’t expect Lingan Residence to be so generous. There were treasures worth more than 1 million in the blind box. Who wouldn’t be tempted?
However, when they thought about the entrance fee of 500,000 yuan, most of them decided to retreat.
500,000 was definitely not a small amount to them.
If they were lucky, it would be fine. But if they were unlucky, 500,000 yuan would go down the drain. When the time came, they would have nowhere to cry.
Zhuang Xiaojiao looked at the blind boxes eagerly. “Boss, how many can I pick with 500,000 yuan?”
Boss Xue extended a palm. “Five.”
Zhuang Xiaojiao wagged her fingers and did some calculations. “That’s a good deal. We have five chances. We can’t possibly miss all of them, right? That’s too unlucky.”
As she spoke, she was about to enter the arena personally.
At this moment, Ye Feng’s eyes turned. He hurriedly stopped her and shouted in Li Guofu’s direction.
“Boss, isn’t the probability of winning too high? 500,000 means five chances, and one-fifth of the blind boxes are worth more than 500,000. Isn’t this giving people money?”
Zhuang Xiaojiao had been with him for so many days and had developed a tacit understanding. She knew that he was up to something again and immediately nodded in cooperation.
“That’s right. There’s a one-in-five chance. No matter how bad your luck is, you should be able to get it right once, right? This is definitely a profitable business.”
Hearing the two of them echo each other, Li Guofu was immediately tempted.
Yes, one-fifth of the blind boxes were worth more than 500,000.
If he could guess one right away, then no matter how much the remaining four were worth, it would still be a profit.
However, the entrance fee was 500,000 yuan. Wasn’t that too expensive?
Wouldn’t it be a huge loss if he didn’t get it right after five times?
Just as he was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw Ye Feng and Boss Xue winking at each other, as if they were secretly communicating something?
His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that these two people knew each other? Was everything just a show? The purpose was to lure people here to partic.i.p.ate in the blind box event?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
He was still puzzled earlier. When did Ye Feng become so knowledgeable about antiques?
So he was a stooge?
He had seen this kind of trick many times, Ye Feng probably knew which blind boxes had treasures, and he would definitely pick out a few valuable ones to lure everyone.
But other than the ones he picked, the other boxes were all worthless trash.
After thinking about the twists and turns, Li Guofu immediately became proud.
No matter how cunning you are, you still have to drink my foot washing water.
After seeing through Ye Feng’s tricks, he immediately felt that there was a chance, he might be able to make a huge profit today.
He immediately stood up and said in a clear voice, “I want to play too.”
Everyone looked at him in shock. The blind box activity of Lingan Residence cost 500,000 yuan to enter. Wasn’t this person a teacher? Are teachers’ salaries so high now?
Li Guofu ignored everyone’s gazes and took out his bank card to pay the entrance fee.
When he saw the shop a.s.sistant take away 500,000 yuan, his heart ached again.
This was 500,000 yuan. If he couldn’t earn it back, he even had the heart to die.
Ye Feng’s face flashed with an imperceptible smile. “Vice Princ.i.p.al Li, you can play first. I’ll stay here and study.”
Li Guofu hurriedly and humbly waved his hand. “There has to be a first come, first served basis. Since you were the first to partic.i.p.ate, then you should choose first.”
However, he was sneering in his heart. ‘If you don’t choose, how would I know which one has the treasure?’
Ye Feng did not say anything else. He looked around and finally locked onto one of the blind boxes, and he was about to bend down to take it.
At this moment, Li Guofu was one step ahead and held the blind box in his hand. “What a coincidence. I also happened to fancy this. Student Ye, you won’t s.n.a.t.c.h it from the teacher, right?”
Ye Feng’s face showed an expression that said ‘I dare not say anything even though I am angry’. “I don’t dare, I don’t dare. Since you like it, then it belongs to you. I will look at something else.”
After saying that, he looked around and locked onto another blind box.
This time, Li Guofu was still one step ahead and hugged the blind box. “Aiya, Student Ye, we have such a tacit understanding. We can choose the same box every time.”
Ye Feng showed an ‘angry’ expression. “Teacher Li, can you choose it yourself? Why are you always s.n.a.t.c.hing the ones I like?”
Li Guofu pretended not to hear it and pretended to look at the other blind boxes, but he was very proud in his heart.
The angrier the other party was, the more it proved that he had guessed correctly. The ones he had picked must have treasures.
A conservative estimate was that a blind box was worth 500,000 yuan. The two of them added up to 1 million yuan. It was a huge profit.
Ye Feng sighed ‘helplessly’ and continued to search for other blind boxes.
In the next few times, every time he picked the blind box and was about to make a move, Li Guofu would s.n.a.t.c.h it away first.
In a short while, he had already picked five blind boxes.
Ye Feng’s expression was already very ‘unsightly’ as he walked in front of Li Guofu.
“Teacher Li, let’s negotiate. I’ll spend 2 million to buy these blind boxes in your hands.”
When Li Guofu saw him like this, he was even more certain that he had picked a priceless treasure. How can that do?”
Ye Feng continued to bid: “2.5 million, how about it?”
Li Guofu still shook his head. “No.”
Ye Feng lowered his head and was silent for a moment before gritting his teeth: “One price, 3 million. As long as you agree, I will transfer the money to you on the spot.”
Li Guofu immediately laughed out loud, “Student Ye Feng, I was just playing around. What are you doing?”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and whispered into his ear, “Kid, I’ve seen through your evil scheme. Just wait to lose everything you have.”
Before Ye Feng could speak, he had already walked toward Boss Xue smugly.
“I’ve already chosen it. Please help me open it.”
