My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

The best way to quickly raise funds for an auction is to make a splash at the trade fair and attract the attention of interested people, so that the jadeite stones that are cut open can be converted into funds as soon as possible.

The stone-cutting master personally helped Su Muchen move the two rough stones to the stone-cutting platform, but did not start cutting immediately. There is a rule for stone cutting: before cutting, the owner of the rough stone needs to draw the cutting route.

Although a single cut yields the fastest result, if the resulting surface is not smooth enough, it can easily lead to a significant reduction in the price of the jade inside.

Most owners of rough stones will cut them little by little to preserve the integrity of the jade inside.

"Boss, how should I cut these two rough stones? Draw out the cutting lines for me."

The stone-cutting master handed the paintbrush to Su Muchen, but Su Muchen did not make a move.

"Mr. Su, what are you daydreaming about? The stone-cutting master is still waiting for you to draw the lines!"

Seeing that Su Muchen stood still and showed no intention of making a move, Liu Ziyan couldn't help but remind him.

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer!"

The reason Su Muchen didn't rush to draw the cutting lines on the raw stone was because he was waiting.

People nearby heard that someone had spent a million to buy two "fully gambling" rough stones and wanted them to be cut open on the spot, so many people gathered over here, and the crowd at the stone-cutting site suddenly increased.

Su Muchen was deliberately waiting for a large enough crowd to gather so that the sensation he would cause later would be significant.

After about a minute, seeing that the scene had become crowded, Su Muchen felt it was time, so he drew a line on each side of the raw stone that was priced at 300,000.

"Come on, master, cut along these two lines!"

"Okay..."

As the cutting machine hissed, everyone present held their breath, their faces filled with anticipation for what was to come.

"Hey! Look, it looks like it's turning green."

"That's right, it's turning green, and the seed color looks pretty good!"

"Hey, boss, you're really lucky. This first rough stone turned out green, and look at the water quality, it's definitely glass-type jadeite."

When the stone-cutting master presented the cut surface of the raw stone to the crowd, it immediately caused a sensation.

"Wow... I never expected to find glass-type jadeite. This is much more valuable than ice-type jadeite."

"Yes, just looking at this side, this rough stone is already worth tens of millions. If the other side is also cut open and it's also glass-type jadeite, wouldn't that mean the whole rough stone is glass-type jadeite? Based on the size of this rough stone, it should be worth at least twenty or thirty million."

"This young man is incredibly lucky. He only spent 300,000 yuan and cut out a jadeite worth tens of millions. This is truly a stroke of heaven."

Hearing the praise from the onlookers, Su Muchen's lips curled up slightly. Exploding luck? How utterly ridiculous.

"Young man, I'll offer eight million for this rough stone."

"Boss Chen, that's not fair of you. Not to mention that the other side hasn't been cut yet, just based on this one cut side, the value of this rough stone is more than eight million. You really dare to ask for such a high price. Young man, how about this, you don't need to cut it anymore, I'll just offer ten million to buy it."

"Boss Qian, don't judge me. In business, the highest bidder wins. Is ten million a lot for you? I'll offer eleven million!"

"Boss Chen, are you trying to go against me?"

"What? Is Mr. Qian short of cash? You don't dare to raise the price after only eleven million? Well then, I'll gladly accept it, haha..."

"Hey, you two, stop being so self-righteous! Who said I was going to sell?"

Seeing two middle-aged men arguing back and forth in the crowd, as if the rough stone was already theirs, Su Muchen interrupted them impatiently.

"Mr. Su, the price of this rough stone has increased several dozen times. Why don't we take our profits and sell it to them?"

Seeing that Su Muchen remained unmoved by the two bosses' offers, Liu Ziyan couldn't help but worry. It's understandable that Liu Ziyan was worried; most rational people would know when to quit while they're ahead and wouldn't take too much risk.

It's already good as it is now. Nobody knows if cutting it again will lead to unexpected results and cause the price of this rough stone to plummet.

But who is Su Muchen? He can see the shape of the jade inside the entire rough stone clearly, so how could he possibly cut it into a hole?

"Miss Liu, you'd really regret it if you sold this rough stone now. Don't worry, just watch from the side. Master, let's get started and cut open the other side as well!"

"Boss, are you sure you want to cut it?"

The stone-cutting master also became worried for Su Muchen. He hoped that Su Muchen would know when to stop and not take too many risks.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll cut it when I tell you to. It's not like I'm not going to pay you."

"Fine, the rough stone is yours. You can do whatever you want with it!"

The stone-cutting master turned on the cutting machine again, picked up the raw stone, adjusted the angle, and started cutting again according to the line drawn by Su Muchen.

As the cutting blade slowly approached the surface of the raw stone, everyone present held their breath, staring intently at the cutting machine.

Standing next to Su Muchen, Liu Ziyan had a solemn expression on her face, and her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

"Ms. Liu, relax and trust me, the results will be in soon, and I promise you won't be disappointed!"

Su Muchen took in Liu Ziyan's embarrassment and gently patted her hand, which was gripping the hem of her clothes, to help her relax.

"It's green! It's turned green..."

An excited shout broke the tense atmosphere. The stone-cutting master was the first person to see the green color in the rough stone, and his excited shout made the crowd of onlookers breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the rough stone wasn't theirs, everyone shared the same thought: they didn't want such a high-quality stone to be ruined. Fortunately, the words of the stone-cutting master finally put everyone's minds at ease.

"Boss, I have to admire your courage. Congratulations, this side is also a glass-type jadeite, as there were no unexpected issues."

The stone-cutting master once again presented the cut surface to everyone, while also congratulating Su Muchen.

"Wow...it really is glass-type jadeite, how much more expensive will it be?"

"At least double the price. You can see that the quality of both sides after cutting is the same. That means that this whole piece of rough stone is full of glass-type jadeite. For such a large piece, doubling the price is not enough."

"That's right. I saw a piece in Yunxi Province that was a little smaller than this one before, and it was bought for a high price of 20 million. This one is bigger, so the price will only be higher than 20 million."

Hearing the murmurs of the onlookers, Liu Ziyan patted her chest in relief, and looked at Su Muchen with gratitude. If it weren't for Su Muchen's insistence, she would probably be filled with regret now.

"Young man, I'll offer 22 million for this rough stone."

"Young man, don't listen to him. This rough stone is worth far more than that. I'll offer 25 million."

It was the same two middle-aged men who had just been arguing. The one who offered 22 million was the boss surnamed Chen, and the one who offered 25 million was the boss surnamed Qian.

"Boss Qian, are you doing this on purpose? How can you raise prices like this?"

When Mr. Qian offered an extra three million, Mr. Chen was furious. Although the highest bidder wins, the price could be raised gradually to avoid raising it too high at once and benefiting someone else.

"Hmph, Boss Chen, do you think everyone is as cunning as you? You're just trying to drive the price down as much as possible, but I'm not going to do what you want. So, are you going to raise the price or not? If you don't, this rough stone is mine."

"Okay, very good. I'll offer 26 million, young man, sell it to me."

"Mr. Chen, don't rush, I'll offer twenty-eight million..."
