Chapter 182
While the owner was immersed in regret, Oliver had ordered Alan to peel all the walnuts one by one.
The owner was stunned. The 100-dollar pairs were the best, while the 60-dollar pairs were slightly
inferior, but they also looked good. Among them, those 20-dollar walnuts were the worst.
However, the worst didn’t actually have poor quality. They were almost the same, but the only
difference was in their size.
In fact, the walnuts for 100 dollars were the largest walnuts ever picked. It made sense that these
walnuts were the best after peeling off.
There were 45 pairs of walnuts, which meant 90 walnuts in all.
And all of them looked like lion’s heads with a plane surface, although with different sizes.
They were all from the same tree, and their patterns were naturally the same. But the owner never
expected that this tree he bought would produce so many good walnuts. If he peeled all the walnuts
himself, how much money would he earn?
It was different to sell the walnuts to this young man. Even if he bought them back, he would only make
a margin. If he hadn’t sold them and peeled them himself, one pair of walnuts would cover the cost of
the tree he purchased for 14,000 dollars. And the rest would have been pure profit.
Alan peeled all the walnuts, cleaned them, and placed them on the table.
Then Oliver asked the owner, “Do you want to buy them back?”
Gunther was
stunned for a moment and then said, “Yes, of course. But the price…”
Oliver was direct and said, “For the nine largest pairs, it’s 20,000 dollars per pair. There are 14 slightly
smaller pairs and 10,000 dollars per pair. For the smallest ones, there are 22 pairs, each at 4,000
dollars.” Hearing this, the owner frowned. “Well…”
Oliver said calmly, “I don’t have time to waste my time with you. We all know the status quo. The
largest pairs can be sold for at least 28,000 dollars, from which you can earn about 8,000 dollars. You
can sell the inferior ones for at least 16,000 dollars per pair, from which you can earn about 6,000
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdollars. And the smallest ones can be sold for 10,000 dollars per pair. You can earn 4,000 dollars per
pair. Don’t you feel satisfied by the profit?”
The owner realized that this young man indeed knew what he was talking about. It was just that he was
so
young
that the owner had underestimated him.
He sighed and said, “Alright. Well, there are nine pairs at 20,000 each, which totals 180,000 dollars.
There are 14 pairs at 10,000 each, which totals 140,000 dollars. The smallest ones, with 22 pairs at
4,000 each, amount to 88,000 dollars. In total, it’s 408,000 dollars…”
Shark, who had been watching, was wide-eyed and stunned. He hadn’t expected that Oliver would
spend 2,180 dollars on a pile of walnuts and sell them back to the owner, making over 400,000 dollars.
The cost involved was minimal, but Oliver gained a large sum of money. Shark couldn’t figure out what
Oliver had done.
He had seen and eaten walnuts, but he really hadn’t seen them for fun.
Only Fabian didn’t think much of it. He was accustomed to Oliver’s behavior. After all, Oliver had made
tens of billions in profit in Manchernius, but he had spent only hundreds of millions. Fabian didn’t think
the profit from the walnuts was unbelievably high.
It was only 400 thousand dollars. For Oliver, earning such an amount of money meant nothing.
The owner was heartbroken, but he paid for the walnuts with his teeth gritted. Because these 45 pairs
of walnuts could earn him more money!
But it was all his fault that he had been too careful and didn’t dare to try. As a result, he didn’t earn pure
profit himself.
If he had peeled the walnuts himself, he could have made a profit of over 600 thousand dollars, but
now he could only make just over 200 thousand. He couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of regret.
And the point was, this young customer really knew the business.

After transferring the money to Oliver, the owner peeked at the three baskets of walnuts.
He was also worried that Oliver would pick up some walnuts again. It was estimated by him that all the
have come up with all the good
walnuts in those three baskets were the same. Otherwise, Oliver could as
things.
He thought, “There won’t be such a coincidence.”
There are 600 or 700 pairs of walnuts left in the three baskets, and all of them were peeled… if not all,
he would be able to earn a large sum of money!
The owner thought that he couldn’t let this young man buy more walnuts. He should earn more money
from the walnuts himself.
But Oliver didn’t select any more. He thanked the owner and went out with the others.
Glancing in the direction Oliver left, Alan was stunned for a long time and said to the annoyed owner,
“This customer is so lucky. He spent 2,180 dollars here and earned more than 400 thousand dollars. I
worked here and only earned more than 6,000 dollars a year, which is not as much as his
remainders…”
While this young man’s easy earnings of more than 400 thousand dollars, he thought he would never
make that much money in his life.
Alan felt envious and sighed. It was the first time he had seen such a lucky person after working in the
shop for over two years.
Alan glanced at three baskets of walnuts and said, “Sir, I want to give it a try…”
The owner put the basket in front of him and snorted, “No more. No more to sell. I’ll peel them all
myself.”
As that young man had picked out walnuts of good quality casually, the owner believed that all the
walnuts in the same tree would be of good quality, and he must be a fool to sell another walnut.
Was he stupid?
He was certainly not stupid!
Alan felt annoyed and murmured about the owner’s stingy behavior. He thought that it was fine to earn
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm4,000 dollars through one of the 20-dollar pairs.
Besides, the owner refused to sell walnuts to him and ordered him to peel the walnuts.
Alan murmured something and brought the knife to peel the walnuts.
He could do nothing, as the owner refused to sell the walnuts. And he had to carry out the owner’s
orders. After all, he was just an assistant.
He had to work and live.
While peeling the walnuts, Alan thought, “You’re so stingy. I think you can’t even find a walnut of good
quality!”
He didn’t know if his curse had worked. But when the walnut was peeled, they recognized its shape
was
not good.
It was asymmetrical, poorly grained, and obviously a piece of nothing.
It wasn’t attractive.
As the first one was not valuable, Alan was stunned. He wondered if his curse had worked.
The owner, watching the walnut, was also stunned. He thought, “What’s going on? Why isn’t it of good
quality?”
“Next one! Hurry up! Peel them all!” the owner was angry, and he ordered Alan to peel the walnuts with
his face darkened.
Alan dared not think about his curse again. He sat straight and picked up another walnut.
But this walnut wasn’t of good quality either. It was cracked, and its pattern wasn’t special.
Alan glanced at the owner and saw that his bean-like eyes were about to spit out fire. He didn’t dare
talk to the owner, and he had to continue peeling the walnuts.
It didn’t take long to peel all the walnuts in the 100-dollar pairs, which should have been of the highest
quality, but they were a complete failure. They didn’t find a pair, let alone one walnut of good quality.

The owner gritted his teeth and breathed heavily. Then he ordered, “Peel the other two baskets as well!
Peel them all!”
If he could at least get two or three good-quality pairs from the remaining walnuts, he would make back
his investment in these walnuts, even if the profit was small.
