Chapter 130 Is Tang's Jewelry Going to Lose?
The betting game officially began, and Duan Yi and Du Sheng stepped forward at the same time to examine the rough stones provided by the other party.
First observe the skin, then look at the sand, and finally shine a light on it.
The two men's movements were almost identical, both being techniques used by top-tier gem appraisers in the industry.
But Duan Yi lived up to his title as the top stone appraiser in Southeast China, judging the quality of the first three rough stones in less than three minutes.
He said with a hint of pride, "The first piece has jadeite. It's from an old mine, of the pure icy type, with lively floating green flowers, a clean base, no dead cotton, and no through cracks. It can be made into a bracelet."
The second piece is a vibrant green. It has an icy base, with a pure, rich color that is neither gray nor dull. The only minor flaw is a few fine inclusions in some areas, which do not affect the overall finished product.
The third piece, a rough stone, yielded a yellowish-green hue, with a high-grade icy base. The green color was vibrant and even, with few impurities and cracks overall. It could yield wide bracelets and several large pendant pieces.
"Quick, take it over and cut it open."
Tang Shanshan urged him hurriedly, her palms sweating profusely.
After a sharp cutting sound, the cutter exclaimed in surprise.
"Perfectly accurate! Master Duan was absolutely right."
He then brought over the three cut stones and displayed them in front of the camera.
Holy crap! That's awesome!
The onlookers, both at the scene and online, were all astonished.
Just then, the three rough stones that Du Sheng had appraised were also cut open. His judgment was also very accurate, but it took him three times as long as Duan Yi.
Upon hearing the result, Duan Yi laughed heartily.
"I can't believe you're still this trash after twenty years. I'm definitely winning this bet!"
Du Sheng was filled with shame and anger, and gritted his teeth in hatred.
A moment later, he sneered with a mocking glint in his one eye, "Senior brother, there are still two stones to be opened. Are you so sure you can win?"
"Hehe, with the dragon on my face, how could I possibly lose?" Having won the first half, Duan Yi was bursting with confidence.
Tang Shanshan was also overjoyed and said to him with a smile, "Master Duan, if you can help the Tang family win the bet today, I will give you one-thousandth of the Tang family's shares."
Upon hearing this, Duan Yi's eyes lit up immediately.
Tang's Jewelry is worth hundreds of billions, and even one-thousandth of that is at least one hundred million. They've won big this time.
Across from him, Su Hao was anxious and secretly asked Liu Jun, avoiding the camera.
"Young Master Liu, the Tang family has already won three rounds. I've bet my entire fortune on the Liu family winning, don't you dare cheat me!"
Liu Jun wore a mysterious smile. "What's the rush? Just keep reading."
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's continue."
Duan Yi was impatient and eager to win the bet.
Just then, Liu Jun suddenly spoke up, "Wait."
Tang Shanshan sneered, "Young Master Liu, you're not scared, are you?"
"Hmph! Me, afraid? Since Mr. Tang is so confident, how about raising the stakes?"
"How would you like to add it?" Tang Shanshan asked.
"This set of jewelry is a family heirloom of the Liu family, valued at at least two billion on the market. It's also the crown jewel of Liu's Jewelry. I'm betting this set of jewelry on your Tang family's two percent stake in Tang's Jewelry. Do you dare?"
"Liu Jun, are you crazy?" Tang Shanshan exclaimed in a short, startled voice.
This set of jewelry is extraordinary; it has been passed down in the Liu family for a century and is regarded as a spiritual totem of the family.
If they lose, it won't just be a matter of Liu's Jewelry withdrawing from the Jiangnan market; it will mean the decline and collapse of the entire family.
Liu Jun wasn't stupid; he knew this gamble wasn't that simple.
But she couldn't figure out what was wrong. The raw stone was right there in the open, with so many people watching it both on-site and online. There was no way she could tamper with it.
Given Duan Yi's skill in appraising stones, even if Du Sheng had X-ray vision, they could only fight to a draw at best, and she had already won the first three rounds.
But if she loses and loses 2% of the shares, the Tang family's shareholding in Tang's Jewelry will become 49%, and they will lose control of Tang's Jewelry.
"President Tang, what are you still hesitating for? Bet with him! That's the Liu family's heirloom. Without the Liu family, they'll be completely ruined," Duan Yi urged repeatedly.
"Bet with him!"
"Yes, let's bet with him!"
The onlookers, eager for a good spectacle, joined in the commotion, creating a massive stir.
"Fine, I'll take your bet!"
In the end, Tang Shanshan chose to trust her own rational judgment.
"Hehe, the fish has taken the bait."
Ye Chen and Liu Jun both wore mocking smiles.
"That's right, Mr. Tang, don't worry, we're guaranteed to win."
Duan Yi couldn't wait to step forward, pick up the fourth rough stone, and begin the appraisal.
However, as he stared at the rough stone, his vision suddenly blurred and his mind began to feel dizzy.
"Strange, could it be that I drank fake alcohol last night?" He covered his forehead, his body staggering slightly.
This delay meant that more than ten seconds had already passed.
Du Sheng's mocking laughter came from the other end of the line, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you? Can't you tell? Well then, I'll reveal the answer first."
He then reported his judgment, and upon cutting it open, it was found to be completely correct.
Based on his years of experience in stone appraisal, Duan Yi quickly gave his appraisal result.
"It has jadeite, a glutinous type with floating blue flowers, and not many internal cracks. Two or three pieces can be taken out for hanging."
"Go quickly."
Tang Shanshan urged the cutting master.
"Okay."
The cutter didn't notice anything unusual about Duan Yi and happily took the rough stone to be cut.
However, less than a minute later, he stammered.
"This...this, Master Duan actually made a wrong judgment."
As soon as these words came out, the audience shook.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Duan Yi pulled him aside and personally examined the quality of the raw stone. His mind went blank and he almost collapsed.
"Hahaha, you called a top-quality icy green jadeite a piece of glutinous blue trash? If someone asked you to appraise a rough stone, you'd lose a fortune!" Du Sheng laughed loudly.
Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he didn't forget his mission and kept shouting in front of the camera.
"Tang's Jewelry always claims that its raw stones are of high quality and have a high yield rate, but seeing this elderly and senile Master Duan makes one suspicious!"
The situation suddenly became tense.
Du Sheng made four correct predictions in a row, while Duan Yi made one wrong, making the current score 4:3.
Although Duan Hong still had a minute to lead, according to the rules, even if he and Du Sheng both correctly judged the fifth raw stone, Du Sheng would still win.
Unless Mr. Du is wrong in his judgment.
But everyone knows that at this level of gambling, it is almost impossible for a stone appraiser to make a mistake; their skill is only reflected in the time it takes.
In other words, it can be basically declared that Tang's Jewelry is doomed to lose!
"Hehehe, Tang Shanshan, still want to bet? I think you should just admit defeat. At least you can save some face for yourself and Tang's Jewelry." Liu Jun mocked mercilessly.
Tang Shanshan swayed and fell down if Gu Ning hadn't been there to support her.
"What...what did I do? I gambled away the lifeblood of Tang's Jewelry." Her pretty face was filled with despair.
"Shanshan, hang in there. The last stone hasn't been broken yet, there's still hope," Gu Ning comforted her.
Ye Chen chimed in, "That's right, the last stone hasn't been opened yet, I think we're definitely going to win."
Tang Shanshan gave a bitter smile, "Thank you, you two, but I'm afraid there won't be a chance."
Even though she knew she was going to lose, she forced herself to stay alert and looked at Duan Yi with concern.
"Master Duan, why don't you take a break?"
"Hehe, rest counts as time too," Liu Jun reminded with a smile.
"you......"
Tang Shanshan was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and the jade pendant bounced and swayed along the mountain road.
Just then, Ye Chen made his move.
"Wait, we need to change the stone!" he shouted to Liu Jun.
Liu Jun looked at Du Sheng.
Du Sheng chuckled coldly, saying with absolute confidence, "Let them do as they please. This master is not as blind as some people."
"you say......"
Duan Yi opened his mouth to refute, but then swallowed his words back.
Having made such a serious mistake, he has lost all his pride.
Liu Jun looked at Tang Shanshan with a mocking expression and said leisurely, "You can change the stones, but I advise you not to struggle anymore. Just obediently admit defeat, ahahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen quickly replaced the fifth raw stone from the Tang family with the one he had previously chosen.
While changing the stone, he muttered, "That stone was rubbish, but this one has top-quality imperial green inside."
Although Tang Shanshan didn't know what he meant by this, she decided to let him be, since they were already in a losing situation.
Someone at the scene recognized Ye Chen and shouted.
"I know him. He's the foolish young master of the Ye family in Jiangcheng."
"Pfft, hahaha... Tang Shanshan, you've really lost your mind. You actually believe that an idiot can help you turn the tide. It's hilarious!"
Du Sheng, Su Hao, and many other onlookers also burst into laughter.
Just then, Ye Chen suddenly stared at the last piece of raw stone that Liu Jun had brought, his face full of disgust.
"This stone is so dirty, let me give it a bath."
After saying that, he unscrewed a bottle of water and poured it on the surface.
"Holy shit! What the hell are you doing?" Liu Jun screamed instantly.
