Hotels, private jets, luxury yachts are true luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, his words could be elevated further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most expensive luxury in the world will always be people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary people to carry counterfeits is just pretending when broke, indeed inviting ridicule, but what about truly powerful figures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luxuries are meant to bolster status, yet certain classes in this world don’t need external objects to enhance their status; on the contrary, if they choose to use certain brands, it’s an honor for those brands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or more precisely, for such people even carrying counterfeits, the counterfeits become more luxurious than the authentic items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main consumer market for luxury goods is undoubtedly the middle class and the nouveau riche.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But oddly enough, more and more ordinary people are joining in, leading to the rapid rise of the counterfeit market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The founder of a luxury brand once voiced his puzzling dilemma, stating he couldn’t understand why the products he designed for the rich were being sought after by the poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buying counterfeits is just vanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While those employees in shopping malls with monthly salaries of thousands scrimp and save to queue up to buy canvas bags with big logos, it’s not only vanity, it’s also a loud declaration of their own poverty and foolishness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter whether an ordinary person carries authentic goods or counterfeits, it’s always inappropriate; after all, even the founder stated it wasn’t meant for lower tiers. But for someone like Pei Yunxi, it always makes sense whether they carry authentic goods or counterfeits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying authentic goods is as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying counterfeits shows they are down-to-earth and relatable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do we need to distinguish between real and fake or right and wrong? The real task is to strive to improve oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I cross the border, a great scholar will debate for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yunxi wasn’t much of a talker before, the typical goddess persona, just slightly better than Tanki Liuli, but since arriving in Myanmar, entering a “world of two”, she seems to have opened up a lot more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at this point Jiang Chen realized, her speech is quite articulate, even sharp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing there’s no sight of K.E replicas here, or who knows how she’d react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buy something for your parents too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen, left speechless, could only change the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The largest marketplace in Karuzi truly lives up to its reputation, offering a vast array of items for sale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the most popular item here is jade stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Wanqing’s brother was lured here because of this, wasn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold has a price, jade is priceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a time when jade stone was highly sought after domestically—a tiny rock could sell for a fortune. Although it’s gotten better, the market remains massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like luxury goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few pieces of handcrafted leather sewn together—is it really worth hundreds of thousands?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s priceless if I want it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the buyer thinks it’s worth it, then it’s worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though chaotic, this market is at least basically organized, with areas divided so those buying accessories are together, and those buying jade and stones are together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen quickly noticed that many Shen Zhou people were here, especially in the Jadeite District, where every stall was surrounded by crowds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visitors aren’t just customers but also profit-seekers and speculators. For instance, with jade, with a stroke of luck, items here might flip outside for a multiple or even dozens of times the price, possibly leading to instant success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wanna try one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen and his group stopped at a stall, which was not that crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Jiang Chen’s command, even the guards didn’t dare arbitrarily clear the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade stone is sold all over domestically; it’s not surprising, but there’s a particular way to play that’s rare to experience at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s stone gambling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, it’s like opening a blind box: Pay a price far below the finished product, buy an entire rough stone—that is, the raw material. No one knows what’s inside, it’s a gamble. It might turn out to be nothing but a worthless rock or might reveal Imperial Green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why stone gambling is said to be a blade of heaven or hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you tried it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nah, whether you’ve played this or not doesn’t matter, it’s all about luck. If luck’s on our side, we won’t need to spend any more on gifts for your parents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, worthy of a capitalist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed knows how to calculate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone gambling requires courage and capital; many ask, but few dare to actually do it. After all, rough stones aren’t cheap, with the top grade reaching hundreds of thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rough stones also have grades. Professionals can estimate the probability of uncovering quality goods through their surface color, texture, patterns, and even feel—akin to picking watermelons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yunxi seemed utterly unbothered by courtesy, or perhaps had great confidence in her luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since they’re here, experiencing the local specialty game is a must.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you gamble on stones?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen raised his voice in inquiry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and fierce look, immediately seemed like a wrongdoer at first glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by appearance is inadvisable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Choose the rough stone yourself; different stones have different prices.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you cut here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that, the stall owner seemed to take it seriously, motioning others aside, looking at Jiang Chen in the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, but there’s a 10% cutting fee; take whatever it turns out to be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Business should be conducted transparently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Playing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked Pei Yunxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brought enough money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yunxi replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brought enough money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of talk is that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen chuckled, and said to the fierce-looking stall owner, “Bring out your most expensive stone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner’s eyes flickered, realizing a big client might be here, immediately stopped minding other customers, and fetched several large stones from behind the display case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are my best rough stones here, ten thousand per kilo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“RMB?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“RMB.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner nodded, clearly recognizing Jiang Chen’s origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhou people in Myanmar are too common to be surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the large rough stones fetched, estimated to weigh tens of kilos combined, Boss Jiang maintained the same air of wealth as in the luxury store earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t a bulk purchase get a discount?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1472,"2026-05-30T15:08:08.521Z","2026-06-01T04:31:32.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","09bc15752f9b60a8ddaf25dd651f89c7b410dfd62e37c3812771cb6ffefbb8a8","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-1786","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-1784",2400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-cover.jpg"]
