Chapter 643: The Encounter in the Past

"Master, please cut these two stones." The woman had already walked over and saw that the master who was cutting the stones was temporarily relaxed, so she said immediately.

At this moment, Zhang Wufeng also noticed that the master who was cutting the stone was a white-haired old man in his seventies. His pair of bony hands looked very powerful, especially the protruding blue veins on the back of his hands and the thick calluses on his palms, which made people feel a little scared.

An old man of this age looks extremely energetic, and his eyes are not cloudy at all, but rather clear and transparent.

The sharp eyes, with a bit of majesty and calm wisdom, make people dare not underestimate him.

However, Zhang Wufeng took a closer look and discovered that this was an old man who was practicing internal energy. No wonder he had thought that this old man had some abilities. So that's why.

The experience in the dream within the dream seemed like yesterday, and Zhang Wufeng even thought it was the experience of the past year. Many times, he had a feeling of "dreaming of blowing the horn in the camp". Watching the past events flowing back, he had a feeling that time was right beside him.

It's not a feeling, but a lingering feeling.

"Xiao Liu, it's impossible for this kind of stone to produce jade. There's no need to figure it out."

The old man looked at the two gray-white raw stones in front of him, his white eyebrows slightly frowned, and then he looked unwilling to solve the problem.

"Master, this is not my own stone, Xiao Liu. It was bought by a customer. Look, this is the young man. He came to try his luck. Master, I have nothing to do, so just try to interpret it." The woman with glasses said with a smile.

"Oh, it belongs to a customer, so there's nothing wrong with unravelling it. Young man, how are you going to unravel this stone?" The old man asked gently with a kind smile.

"Master chef, you are very experienced, just watch me cut it." Zhang Wufeng said with a smile.

"Okay. Of these two pieces, this one looks like it still has some hope." The old man looked at two stones that were less than the size of a basketball. One of them had a little green line in a depression. Although not much, it still showed some hope.

The old man adjusted the position of the stone and tried to cut it. Sand and rocks flew everywhere for a while, and the place where the stone was cut was grayish white. The old man cut it twice from the side again. After another burst of flying sand and rocks, not to mention a green dot, even a green star could not be seen. It was only grayish white.

“Haha, it looks like there’s no hope for this piece. But then again, the possibility of this kind of stone producing green is very slim.” Miss Sun next to them didn’t leave, but watched intently. Apparently, when stones are being cut on the spot, no matter whether they are high-quality or low-quality raw stones, people are always very enthusiastic to watch.

The old man took a look at it, shook his head slightly, and cut it a few more times horizontally and vertically. Suddenly, the stone became completely useless. Not to mention jade, there was not even a single green spot.

There was a sudden burst of boos, and the people around were also communicating loudly. Obviously, although everyone understood this matter, they all had the mentality of betting on the good stuff and making a profit from it, and now seeing that the bet failed again, they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

A stone worth one million is money, and a stone worth one thousand is also money. After all, this is just a small gambling stone field, and no one is rich enough to ignore a thousand dollars.

"Master, please try cutting this piece carefully." Zhang Wufeng said calmly.

“Haha, young man, judging from the old man’s perspective, you’d better not hold out hope. Just let nature take its course. I will cut this old man carefully for you.”

The old man did not laugh at Zhang Wufeng for what he said, but spoke very kindly.

Zhang Wufeng nodded, just gently held Su Ru's hand without saying anything.

But everyone around him burst into laughter because of Zhang Wufeng's words.

Yes, if a thousand-dollar item is cut into pieces with two cuts, it would be really disappointing. But what else can you expect from this white-gray raw stone? Poor people are poor people, they always hope to get rich overnight!

Miss Sun glanced at Zhang Wufeng from time to time, and it seemed that she was more interested in this poor boy.

"Well, your stone has no green veins around it, so if I cut it, I will move back about four centimeters from the place where it is least likely to have green, and rub it first. If there is green inside the stone, this place will usually show it. If the cut surface here is still grayish white, then change the direction and look again."

The old man said with a smile.

Zhang Wufeng glanced at the stone and when he cut the stone, green lines indeed appeared exactly where the old man said, exactly right!

"This old master is indeed very experienced. He can even grasp this place so accurately!" Zhang Wufeng sighed in his heart. It is true that the older you are, the wiser you are.

"Haha, alright! Let's cut it like this!"

The old man smiled slightly, then his expression became serious and his eyes were focused. He then adjusted the position of the stone, opened the knife and cut it.

"what?"

The old man's face was slightly surprised. With this cut, a green pattern as big as the mouth of a cup suddenly appeared. Although this green pattern was not very pleasing, the softness and penetration of it was very strong.

"Ok?"

Seeing the old man's expression, everyone was slightly startled, and then someone with a discerning eye shouted: "Ah, the bet has gone up, the bet has gone up!"

Miss Sun was obviously stunned as well. She glanced at Zhang Wufeng with some surprise. Seeing that he looked natural and calm, she felt a little curious at first. Then, looking at the slender and charming woman beside him, Miss Sun's eyes showed even more surprise.

"One hundred thousand, I'll give you one hundred thousand!"

Miss Sun said in a calm tone.

"Young man, what do you think?" The old man stopped and did not continue cutting. Instead, he asked Zhang Wufeng for his opinion.

"Take another look." Zhang Wufeng ignored Miss Sun and continued.

Everyone was now alert, and when they heard that they were going to continue cutting, they all concentrated and held their breath. The whole hall suddenly became very quiet.

The old man pondered for a moment, staring at the stone that was less than the size of a basketball, then chose a position on the opposite side, about fifteen centimeters, and cut it directly with a knife.

This action made everyone feel a little scared. It was almost like cutting it in the middle with a knife. In this way, any good green in the middle would be directly destroyed.

However, everyone focused their attention on the old man's actions. It seemed that this knife strike was indeed shocking!

Only Zhang Wufeng understood that this cut was the pinnacle of experience, vision and technique, because this cut just cut the side of the green. A little more would damage the structure of the green, and a little less would make the green vein invisible. However, Zhang Wufeng acted very casually this time. With a different mentality, he faced different problems and had different views.

As the knife came down, the old man's gaze paused for a moment, and then he gently wiped away the stone chips on the stone with his hand.

"Well, the bet has definitely gone up!"

The old man said with a smile.

At this moment, Zhang Wufeng's face also showed an appropriately excited look.

"Ah, this green is so lush, the price will definitely increase tenfold in an instant!"

In the hall, someone immediately started to make a noise.

"Ah, for this, I'll offer one million!" someone immediately said in a trembling voice.

"One million and two hundred thousand! I'll pay one million and two hundred thousand!"

"One million, two hundred and fifty thousand! One million, two hundred and fifty thousand can be transferred immediately!"

In the hall, everyone started to make a noise.

The old man then raised his hand and signaled, and immediately, the hall became quiet again.

"Young man, this strand of green is translucent and has a pure luster. Although the concentration is not very high and the size does not seem to be very large, it can be regarded as a top-quality Yang Green. Just based on this strand, one million and a half is not too much! Do you want to sell it, or continue to rub it with a grinding wheel to check the quality? Using a grinding wheel to rub the stone is the safest method for the rough material that has already produced green. If you rub it slowly from the edge to the inside, it will not damage the jade inside." The old man explained, set a price for Zhang Wufeng, and then made a proposal.

If you want to sell it, it can be sold for 1.5 million. If you want to polish it, the green inside will not be pure and the price will be reduced.

However, Zhang Wufeng was very clear in his mind that if he rubbed from this surface, there was a part inside that was a little purer than this. If he rubbed a small part inside, it would be a little mixed again. And if he went to the back, there would be white patterns.

"Wipe it off and see."

Zhang Wufeng smiled.

The old man smiled and nodded, then began to rub it gently with the grinding wheel. After only a few rubs, a moving green light suddenly appeared.

The old man's expression relaxed slightly, and then he turned the stone again, rubbing it a few times from top to bottom, and it was still the moving green.

At this time, he stopped again.

"Young man, you can be sure that this stone will produce jadeite, and it will be at least of Yang Green quality. The green of jadeite is generally considered to be of the highest quality if it is 'dense', 'yang', 'pretty', 'positive', 'harmonious', etc. If it has variegated colors or streaks, it is 'evil' or 'flowery'! So far, there is no risk in continuing to gamble on this piece, but you can't be careless, because if the bottom or middle layer shows 'flowery', then the value of this jadeite will be reduced by a level.

Judging from the green color that has been rubbed out, the concentration is also good. It is almost certain that it is a high-quality Yang Green! The value of this jadeite should be more than two million now. Do you want to completely rub it out, or do you plan to sell it?"

At this time, the boss Zhang immediately said, "Little brother, how about selling it to me for two million? Although the two million that the master chef mentioned is a very fair price, we are all gambling and just want to make a little money. What do you think?"

Just as Zhang Wufeng was about to speak, someone else spoke. This time it was a woman's voice, and it seemed that this woman had arrived later.

"Little brother, sell it to me for 2.1 million! I'll treat you to a meal at Fuye Hotel, how about that?" The woman had a blushing face and an infinite spring glow. Below the 'V'-shaped white collar, a white, round cleavage was fully revealed. The pair of plump and round breasts seemed to be about to burst, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

"Two million and two hundred thousand, little brother, how about selling it to me?" Miss Sun, who had remained silent, made another offer.

"Haha, Miss Sun offers 2.2 million. If no one offers a higher price, I will sell it to her. I hope you don't mind." Zhang Wufeng's words were calm and composed. Everyone saw that his face remained calm and his eyes were cool, as if he had no emotion at all when it came to millions or tens of millions. They knew that this person was definitely not a simple person, so no one tried to offend him.

Besides, people who gamble on stones or the increase in value usually have good luck and skills.

And because of Sun Feifei's background, no one cares about this stone anymore.

"Haha, if you can sell it to Miss Sun, we will have no objection. Little brother, you have good taste." A rather handsome middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Whether your vision is good or not is hard to say now. We have to wait and see in the future! Don't you think so, uncle?" Zhang Wufeng looked at Fang Weiming, a hint of warmth flashed through his heart, and then he smiled.

Zhang Wufeng said with a wry smile, although the middle-aged man was very handsome, he was about fifty years old. Calling him "uncle" was not an exaggeration considering Zhang Wufeng's age of twenty-five.

"Haha, I think you're quite my type, and you look quite a master. How about having dinner with your girlfriend when you have time?"

"Let's eat. This young man is a millionaire now, so he may not care about the meal!" Miss Sun said with a smile.

"Miss Sun, you're joking. Being a millionaire or a billionaire, if you have something in your heart, then it's meaningful. If you have nothing in your heart, then it's meaningless. Is that right, Miss Sun? I'd love to have a meal with you, but I don't know if you're willing to do so, Miss Sun?" Zhang Wufeng said with a smile.

"Little brother, you speak in a very profound way. You must be a literature major, right? I am ashamed to say that I don't quite understand. Well, let's not talk about this. Do you want cash or a check? Or a transfer?" Miss Sun said with a smile.

Zhang Wufeng said excitedly: "Write a check. I'm going to the bank later to withdraw money and deposit it at the same time."

"Well, OK!" Miss Sun smiled slightly, then took out a checkbook and quickly wrote a check, then tore it and gave it to Zhang Wufeng. Then she took out a business card and gave it to Zhang Wufeng, saying, "Little brother, take them all. After all, you won't lose anything today. Write down the phone number on this business card. You can come to me if you have any difficulties."

"Ms. Sun, thank you very much. My name is Zhang Wufeng. I don't have a business card, but I believe you won't forget this name." Zhang Wufeng said confidently.

"Haha, you are very interesting. It is indeed hard to forget you." Miss Sun showed a very beautiful smile, and her eyes under the sunglasses flashed with a hint of doubt and slight confusion.

……

Zhang Wufeng smiled casually, and he didn't seem to feel any joy at all for getting 2.2 million. His carefree and indifferent attitude made everyone present look up to him even more.
