“2,180 dollars? Okay. Do you accept payment through scanning the code or cash transfer?”

The owner was about to ask Oliver to pay 2,000 dollars, rounding up the amount, but Oliver didn’t hesitate to pay 2,180 dollars.

But he thought that was better. Although 180 dollars was just a small amount of money, he could earn 5,400 dollars a month if he earned 180 dollars every day.

So he immediately smiled and said, “Scan this code to pay.”

Oliver picked up his phone and scanned the QR code to pay. Then he heard a loud voice from the payment confirmation, “You received 2,180 dollars in Paypal.”

The owner smiled again and said, “Do you want me to peel them now? Besides, we have walnuts of good quality for repurchase.”

“Okay. Peel them now.” Oliver nodded and agreed.

He had no intention of keeping the walnuts. Selling them for a profit would be more worthwhile than cracking and eating them.

If these walnuts were for eating, they could be considered luxury walnuts since every one of them cost a few dollars. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

In fact, this kind of walnut-variety had been improved over the years. All of them had thick shells, and the part to eat was smaller than that of the common ones. Besides, they were premature and not delicious.

Seeing that Oliver agreed, the owner immediately ordered a shop assistant in his shop to bring over the utensils to peel the walnuts.

Shark and others had never seen walnut gambling like this, so they all watched with interest.

The assistant was a man in his thirties. He brought a knife, a brush, a basin of water, and a cloth.

The process began with a pair of walnuts worth 100 dollars. When the assistant peeled one of them with the knife, the owner’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw it. He said, “Well, the first one seems to have a good quality. Alan, hurry up and clean it. Let’s see the pattern.”

Alan, with the knife, nodded. He then took the brush and the cloth to make the walnut clean.

The walnut was now completely and clearly exposed. The owner commented, “Young man, you’re lucky. This walnut looks… not bad. At least it’s worth… over 60 dollars. That’s good. It’s a good one. Let’s see the other one. If they can be a pair, the price will double again.”

Oliver only smiled faintly. He knew the owner was trying to downplay the walnut’s value. As it had a plane surface, it was quite expensive. If there were a pair of them, that could be worth 20,000 dollars. But the owner said it was worth at least 60 dollars. Oliver thought the owner might think he was a fool. Alan quickly took the other one and followed the same process to peel the walnut. As soon as they saw it, the owner’s eyes lit up!

He thought that this young man was really lucky. The two walnuts looked almost identical. And they were a pair of walnuts that looked like lion’s heads with a plane surface. They could be sold for 30,000 dollars after being polished and colored for a period of time and starched.

Of course, the owner couldn’t and wouldn’t tell the truth. It was better for him to spend about 200 dollars to buy them back.

As this pair of walnuts cost Oliver 100 dollars, the owner wondered if he could buy them for 200 dollars. He wanted to let Oliver make twice as much money.

He pondered for a while and then said to Oliver, “Young man, this pair of walnuts are not bad. Although they don’t look very good, they can be sold for 140 or 160 dollars after being processed later. Let me give

I don’t make any money from you. Just consider that I’m making friends with you since you’ve spent over 2,000 dollars in my shop.”

you… Well, I’ll give you 200 dollars. At that price

Oliver chuckled and said, “It’s said that people running businesses are all shrewd. I’ve learned a lot today. Well, I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you. Let me tell you, I will sell this pair of walnuts for 20,000 dollars with no more discounts. If you want to take them back, just pay!”

10:48

“20,000… dollars…” The owner was stunned!

He wondered if this young man was an expert or if he was just throwing out a random price to test him. Oliver added, “You can take them for 20,000 dollars and sell them for about 30,000 dollars. A profit of 10,000 dollars is not a small amount.”

Hearing Oliver’s words, the owner blushed, realizing that he had underestimated this young man. He knew that this young man was really an expert.

He had been given a fair warning and lost face.

The owner finally agreed, thinking that making a profit of 10,000 dollars was still a good deal. Besides, Oliver had already understood what he wanted to do. He felt embarrassed, as if he were a fool.

He felt very embarrassed.

If he had offered 4,000 dollars or 6,000 dollars, it was okay. At least that was over 2,000 dollars. But he had only offered 200 dollars and wanted to make a profit of over 30,000 dollars. No one would be pleased because that was not fair!

But Oliver wasn’t in the mood to speak ill of him. It was strange that a man running a business wasn’t shrewd.

“Don’t waste time. Just go ahead with the other walnuts,” Oliver ordered the shop assistant again. Without speaking a word, Alan picked up a pair of walnuts and began peeling them.

The walnuts he picked up were also worth 100 dollars. As Oliver had bought nine pairs from the 100- dollar basket, there remained eight pairs.

The owner was embarrassed and thought, “20,000 dollars is fine. This guy is an expert. I can’t play tricks on him. But it’s also a big profit of 10,000 dollars. If I had known that there would be walnuts of such good quality in that basket, I should have peeled them myself. If I had done that, I would have made pure profits.”

But there was nothing the owner could do. He thought that if this young man hadn’t paid, he would have regretted it, but he couldn’t say anything after being paid 2,180 dollars.

There were also surveillance cameras in the shop, so he couldn’t cheat. Besides, there was a group of them watching him now. How could he cheat?

So the owner gave up the idea of cheating, so he planned to buy the walnuts for 20,000 dollars. However, when peeling off the walnut, Alan was surprised. The owner took a glance and felt his eyes. twitching. He thought, “Damn it! Another walnut that looks like a lion’s head with a plane surface!” The variety, shape, and size matter most for walnuts.

This one was almost the same size as the pair peeled earlier.

The owner felt so regretful. He couldn’t figure out why he didn’t peel these walnuts himself. However, he bought a tree for 14,000 dollars last month. Last year, there were two pairs of this kind of walnut from this tree. He spent 50,000 dollars to buy the two pairs of walnuts back and finally earned 18.000 dollars.

Last month, he bought the tree. And he peeled all the walnuts himself. It was about 900 pairs of walnuts, and none of them were of good quality. As a result, his money was in vain.

From that moment on, he gritted his teeth and vowed not to engage in walnut gambling again.

But he didn’t expect this young man to be so lucky today!

Alan peeled the other walnut of the pair. Not surprisingly, it was another walnut that looked like a lion’s head with a plane surface!

The owner thought that since this young man had two pairs of walnuts that looked like lion’s heads with a plane surface and he was an expert, it must be impossible to make a bargain. After all, Qliver offered 20,000 dollars for one pair!
