Reborn 10 years later: First, save 100 million Bitcoins
Chapter 76: This is Imperial Purple
This pile of rough stones is not only low-grade, but also small in size, with each piece weighing only a few kilograms at most, making it easy for the cutting master to cut them open.
Moreover, this first piece was the one Xiao Feng bought for 10 in his previous life.
"This piece isn't even scrap; it's worthless." The cutter said bluntly after finishing the cut, and casually tossed it aside.
This was something that could be expected, and Xiao Feng remained completely unmoved. He symbolically picked through the pile of raw stones again and casually picked up the next one.
The second one!
One piece costs 1 yuan.
"Still scrap!"
The third piece.
"scrap!"
The cutting master skillfully cut the material, and also expertly called out the scraps.
And no one in the room seemed surprised or taken aback.
Because everyone knows very well that the probability of getting even one high-grade stone from these hundreds of low-grade rough stones is extremely low.
After all, these low-grade rough stones are not very large. Even if a high-grade one can be made, it is too small to even make a bracelet. At most, it can only make a ring or a bead.
In this situation, even if a top-grade piece is produced, it would only be worth a few hundred thousand at most.
Besides... that kind of situation is basically impossible; you'd be lucky to occasionally come across something worth tens of thousands of dollars.
If it were really that easy to find high-quality products, Jia Yucheng wouldn't have sold them all for 10 yuan.
So under normal circumstances, this batch of low-grade rough stones would be lucky to yield 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. As for the rest... most of them are sold off at tourist attractions to make a profit.
In short, finding a bargain here is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The imperial purple jade that Xiao Feng saw was absolutely one in a million; it could only be described as incredible luck.
Originally, this luck... actually belonged to Zhou Ping, but...
"It's all waste material, it's all unnecessary to cut it!" The cutting master couldn't help but complain.
So far, five have been opened in a row.
One piece costs 10,000 yuan, so five pieces would cost 50,000 yuan.
Xiao Feng once again picked out another piece in a very professional manner and handed it to the cutting master.
"Let's continue, this is the 6th piece."
"Oh dear." Yan Wenshan couldn't help but click his tongue, but he didn't say much, since it was Xiao Feng who paid for it.
Besides, everyone knows perfectly well that Xiao Feng was only trying to help his old classmate.
But this old classmate... instead tried to fool Xiao Feng, saying that he might be able to find a top-quality raw stone.
"This is not bad." The cutter looked at the rough stone that had just been cut in his hand: "Although it has cracks, its quality is still worth 500 yuan."
"..." Just as everyone was starting to feel a little hopeful, their excitement vanished immediately.
So far, a total of 7 pieces have been opened, and only this one piece yielded a jade stone worth only 500 yuan.
This kind of jade... is usually just thrown directly onto small stalls.
Xiao Feng had already spent 70,000 yuan on those 7 pieces, and only managed to break even on 500 yuan. He was completely out of luck.
Even at the normal price, these 7 yuan would sell for around 2000 yuan at a tourist attraction.
I only spent 500 yuan out of 2000 yuan, and I still lost a lot of money.
Xiao Feng, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent and picked out a piece from the pile of raw stones with a rather serious air.
"This one feels good."
"You're mistaken, it's worthless." The cutter replied ruthlessly after cutting it open.
Xiao Feng picked out the 9th piece... and continued cutting...
At that moment, Zhou Ping, standing to the side, let out a barely perceptible sly smirk, a hint of smugness flashing across his lips.
"Hehe, Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, if you can cut out a top-quality piece today, I'll cut myself in half."
"But don't blame me, it's your own fault for making 1200 million."
"I'm just using a different method to take away wealth that doesn't belong to you."
"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for trusting me too much, for believing everything I said."
"You really think I consider you an old classmate?"
"hehe!"
"More scrap!" The cutting master was already used to it.
Nine pieces have already been cut, and as previously agreed, Xiao Feng should pay 90,000 yuan.
As before, Xiao Feng, upon hearing that the materials were waste, continued to meticulously select from the pile of raw stones.
Then...
It seemed casual... but actually... everything was planned.
He picked up the so-called top-grade rough stone, the one that contained violet jade.
Imperial Purple!
Just from the name... you know it's something special.
"Master, this one looks pretty good too," Xiao Feng said casually.
"Based on my experience, it'll probably be just average." The cutter muttered casually, adding, "This is already the 10th piece."
"Sizzle..." The sound of cutting rang out again...
Yan Wenshan couldn't hold back any longer: "Brother Xiao Feng, why don't we just forget about it? You can't just throw money away like that."
"Yeah, I've been feeling really uncomfortable." Jia Yucheng chimed in, "If I'd known you were willing to pay 1 yuan for it, I wouldn't have sold it to Gangzi."
Jia Yucheng is still the same Jia Yucheng.
He didn't care about Xiao Feng's money; he just regretted not earning it himself.
Yan Wenshan continued, "Brother Xiao Feng, you really should listen to your older brother's advice and stop now. It's impossible to get a high-grade one, let alone a top-grade one."
Zheng Gang, meanwhile, was smoking a cigar. He was obviously indifferent and probably wished Xiao Feng could keep driving.
Since Xiao Feng lost so much money today, if he finishes all the games, he can earn at least 700 million. In that case, Zheng Gang will have almost recovered all the money he lost.
As for obtaining top-tier items, that's impossible.
Zhou Ping, looking pleased with himself, leaned close to Zheng Gang and whispered, "Hey... Brother Gang, how was my deal? Xiao Feng has already opened his 10th stone, and this whole pile of rough stones only cost 10."
"And if things continue like this, Xiao Feng will definitely have to open all his accounts eventually, so... Brother Gang... could you give me back the 50 yuan I invested earlier?"
Zheng Gang, seemingly indifferent, took a puff of his cigar: "Fine, since you're so considerate of me, I'll return it all to you later."
"That's great! Brother Gang is awesome! Thank you, Brother Gang. I will definitely serve you like a dog and make more money for you from now on."
Holy crap!!!
"What is this?!"
Just then... the cutter looked at the raw stone that had just been cut open and exclaimed in surprise.
And this rough stone... is the 10th one.
In an instant... it attracted everyone's attention... all eyes turned towards it.
Zheng Gang, who was sitting there smoking a cigar, suddenly stood up.
Zhou Ping was also startled by the sudden noise. He looked over with an impatient expression, not yet realizing what had happened.
As for Yan Wenshan and Jia Yucheng... they had already clung to him... their eyes were practically glued to him.
Whatever your gaze falls upon!
The raw stone in front of me, cut in two, is 25 centimeters long, 20 centimeters in diameter, and 15 centimeters high. It looks like a very ordinary piece.
But once it's cut open, the interior is like opening up a new world. Under natural light, the purple color is rich and even, without any breaks or cracks, like a mirror that shines with purple light.
For a brief moment... everyone's eyes were practically glued to the viewer. The rich saturation, the glass-like clarity, and the exceptional transparency were like a fusion of ice and purple.
"This...this is...Royal Purple?" Yan Wenshan stared in disbelief.
"No!" Jia Yucheng quickly shook his head: "This isn't Royal Purple, this is the finest of jadeite, Imperial Purple!"
When the words "Imperial Purple" were uttered, the entire audience seemed to be muted for three seconds.
because!
At this moment, everyone's face was filled with horror, so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Zheng Gang tossed aside the cigar he had only taken two puffs of and strode over.
Zhou Ping followed closely behind... his face was pale... he seemed to have realized that something unfriendly had happened to him.
"Let me see!" After Zheng Gang saw it clearly, he slapped his forehead hard: "Damn it!"
Zheng Gang is also very knowledgeable about jade.
Therefore, this action needs no further explanation.
It's confirmed, what's blooming before us is Imperial Purple!
Zheng Gang was filled with regret. If he had taken these raw stones back and had his men examine them again, he might have discovered this epic-level Imperial Purple.
Unfortunately... it's too late to say anything.
At this moment, no one was more desperate than Zhou Ping.
Looking at that rich, translucent imperial purple, I felt like the sky had collapsed.
Xiao Feng, on the other hand, pretended to be very surprised and unexpected, deliberately raising his voice.
"Imperial Purple? Impressive, Zhou Ping, you really weren't lying to me. There really is such a thing as top-quality purple. You truly are worthy of being my old classmate. Thank you!"
Xiao Feng's words were hardly gratitude; they were practically pushing him into a fire pit.
"By the way, Mr. Jia, I don't know much about the price of this Imperial Purple. Could you give me a price quote?" Xiao Feng feigned curiosity.
Jia Yucheng had already made the calculations in his mind.
"Although this piece of imperial purple violet isn't large, it's still a top-grade imperial purple. I estimate..."
"I estimate...it's worth at least 2000 million!"
