Free Web NovelChapter 563: Chapter 240: Is This the Joy of Stone Gambling?_3
So, let’s still sell it at a high price.
In the end, this piece of jade was sold for 85 million.
Beside him, Hong Junle was practically drooling with envy. A single stone sold for 85 million, it’s not just a break-even; it’s a huge profit on one stone.
Just then, the stone cutter shouted again: "We’ve hit green!"
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly gathered around once more.
"Holy! His luck is out of this world! Three small stones, and two of them have green!"
"No way, he’s gotta be cheating!"
"How on earth did he pick these? I remember he just wandered around and then chose these stones. Does he have some kind of secret method?"
...
Soon, the jade emerged.
"It’s a full-blessed green, 1500 grams!" the stone cutter announced loudly.
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
"Wow! Another full-blessed green. Although it’s rougher than the ice kind, but 1500 grams is still worth a lot!"
"I’ve been doing this for nearly 12 years, only ever hit apple green twice, and he gets two full-blessed greens in a row. I’m just speechless."
"Thank goodness it’s just rough jade. If it were ice again, I’d suspect he’s cheating."
...
Soon, the expert priced it at 18 million.
The moment the jade was placed before Yang Chen, others started competing to bid on it.
"I’ll give 23 million, it’s mine!"
"What the hell, why raise it so much? Fine, I’ll offer 25 million."
"I have wide connections, you can’t beat me. Stop competing, I’ll bid 26 million, brother, give it to me."
...
In the end, this jade sold for 28 million.
Having good connections helps; you can find big brands to take it over, which naturally raises the selling price.
Just then, the manager came over, the same middle-aged man from before.
The manager walked over to Yang Chen with a cheerful smile and said, "Brother, you got some luck there. Three stones and two hit; you’re more accurate than the equipment! Can I ask how you did it, brother?"
Yang Chen replied, "Are you kidding me? If you had such skills, would you tell anyone?"
Everyone nodded in agreement; there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Who would be willing to teach others such skills?
The manager chuckled, nodded, and said, "You’re right. Then I’ll accompany you to see what these next three big stones yield."
The staff placed the 12 million stone on the cutting machine.
Line cutting and slice cutting can be understood as relatively rough methods, which can easily cut through the jade inside.
But using the slow method for a stone this big would take too long, possibly working till daybreak.
So, Yang Chen loudly instructed, "Master, slice cut, follow my instructions."
The stone cutter nodded and prepared to cut the stone.
Yang Chen shouted, "Cut 5 centimeters from the left, go 12 centimeters deep, then stop."
The stone cutter accurately cut according to Yang Chen’s instructions, and after just three cuts, green was visible.
"We’ve hit green!" the stone cutter shouted.
"Wow..." The whole place was in an uproar.
The manager hurriedly sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the streak of green on the stone shown on the big screen.
"Wow, is this for real? He can even pinpoint cutting by a few centimeters?"
"Damn! He’s indeed a master! He’s been hiding his true abilities all along!"
"Hell, he’s actually a master! Pretending to be a novice just to crush us, huh?"
"How could he be an online cab driver? Clearly, he’s a stone gambling master. It’s the first time I’ve seen anyone able to make precision cuts like this to reveal green."
"He must be cheating, right? Or, is he from Mingcui Square, secretly picking all the quality stones for them?"
...
Amidst everyone’s chatter, the stone cutter finally extracted a whole piece of jade.
"It’s a full-blessed icy jade, 3500 grams!" the stone cutter announced loudly.
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
"Wow! Another full-blessed green!"
"I’m cracking up; this stone has been here for almost three years, and I never picked it." freewebnøvel.com
"Sigh... it’s fate! I’ve been here at least once a week for those three years and never really looked at it."
"3500 grams, even if it’s rough jade, it’s still worth a ton!"
...
Rough jade may not be as refined as ice, so the price is naturally lower.
But because of its large size, this piece of jade’s total value definitely won’t be low.
Soon, Mingcui Square’s expert gave an estimate of 85 million.
The manager’s heart broke a little, feeling like they were at a huge loss.
At that moment, the other players came to bid against Yang Chen again.
"I’ll offer 90 million!"
"I’ll give 95 million!"
"I’ll bid 100 million!"
...
In the end, this large piece of jade sold for 110 million.
Young Master Ning couldn’t hold back and hurriedly came over to Yang Chen, saying, "Brother, let’s exchange contacts and play stone gambling together in the future. I’m Ning Shaoqing from the Jinling Ning Family. Whenever you have time, I’d like to invite you to Jinling’s Jade Pavilion."
Now Yang Chen truly felt the joy of stone gambling; it was really exhilarating.
Such skills shouldn’t go to waste; when there’s time, I’ll sweep through Jinling City.
Yang Chen smiled as he added Ning Shaoqing as a friend.
They continued cutting stones.
Yang Chen: "Master, cut 7 centimeters from the left, vertically cut 8 centimeters..."
The stone cutter precisely operated the machine according to Yang Chen’s request, and soon a vivid green appeared.
Stone Cutter: "We’ve hit green! And... judging by the color, it highly likely is the extremely rare Emperor Green!"
"What? Emperor Green!"
"Is it real? Did he just find Emperor Green?"
"Holy crap, I’m green with envy!"
...
The manager nearly fell out of his chair; if they really extracted premium Emperor Green, Mingcui Square would suffer a monumental loss.
