Chapter 127: The Expert, Everest Zuck
Bryce Harper took Yusuf Zuck to visit a respected person living in the Fragrant Hills villa district, and there was no doubt that Fragrant Hills was a gathering place for the wealthy—the prices of homes there had reportedly soared to nearly one hundred and thirty thousand per square meter.
"The master shares the same surname with you, also surnamed Zuck, with a simple given name, Everest. After you meet, you can just call him Mr. Zuck. Mr. Zuck is a true master, especially in ’The Book of Changes’ calculations and techniques, and can be called a grandmaster. He’s also a board member of the Chinese ’The Book of Changes’ Association and it’s rumored that he’s a secular disciple of the mysterious sect, meaning a disciple living among regular society."
"Another thing is that, legend has it, he has close ties with the government, though we don’t know the specifics."
"Ties with the government? What do you mean? Do officials also ask him to look at Feng Shui?" Yusuf Zuck laughed.
"Checking Feng Shui is just one aspect. I’ve also heard that he can handle some tricky cases that science can’t explain. Have you heard about the ghost incident on Bus 330 in the capital a few years back? He seemed to have been involved at that time."
"I know that one!" Yusuf Zuck immediately nodded. He had seen a post about it on the internet before, mentioning the ghost incident on Beijing’s Bus 330, which was quite a sensation back then.
"Exactly, the unseen doesn’t equate to nonexistent. When you meet Mr. Zuck, be humble, and he’s also known for his fortune-telling skills, incomparably precise." Bryce Harper exclaimed admiringly.
"Incomparably precise? How accurate?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.
After thinking for a moment, Harper said, "Three years ago, I met with him and he told me that I would experience some financial loss in the latter half of the year, suggesting that I should play it safe and avoid making large investments, or I’d inevitably suffer losses. Although I believed him, when a huge business opportunity came knocking in the second half of the year, I was tempted and impulsively went for it. And then, I lost this much!" Bryce Harper held up two fingers.
"Two billion?" Yusuf Zuck gasped in shock.
