Power and wealth bring fragrance

At every jade gambling convention, some people bid on the rough stones and then choose to have them cut on the spot.

Therefore, the organizer specially prepared a small cutting machine on site. As soon as Yue Qingsheng mentioned cutting the material, someone immediately arranged to transport the No. 047 raw stone over.

The organizers are also very happy to have these top bidders reveal their secrets on the spot. If the bets are successful, it will greatly enhance their influence and popularity, which will then translate into real financial benefits.

And this is always the climax and most exciting time of the stock market analysis conference.

Isn't the moment when the stone gambling conference is most anticipated by everyone who comes to participate the moment when the stone is cut open?

When Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai arrived at the cutting machine with the No. 047 rough stone, the surrounding area was already crowded with people, and the intense gazes almost melted the rough stone.

Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai stood beside the raw stone, while the people they brought had already moved it onto the cutting machine.

The cutting master respectfully inquired.

"Mr. Yue, how should we cut it?"

Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai exchanged a few words in hushed tones, and Tang Hai waved his hand dismissively.

"Let's open the window and check the quality first."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Yuan disdainfully, as if he were looking at a dog on the roadside.

"It will also make some people give up sooner, humph."

This choice immediately drew nods of approval from everyone.

For rough stones with excellent outer skin, opening a window not only allows you to see the quality of the jade inside, but also maximizes the preservation of the jade's integrity and maximizes profits.

Of course, the risk of this strike is not low, in fact, it can be described as extremely high.

The "one cut" in the saying "one cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich, one cut leaves you in rags" refers to this very first cut when opening the window!

Countless rough stones worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars have seen their value plummet because of a single, disastrous cut.

Similarly, countless rough stones that were not initially favored saw their prices skyrocket dozens of times after a single cut revealed green jade.

So before the raw stone is cut open, no one knows what's inside.

This is what is meant by "even immortals cannot judge the value of a piece of jade."

Some jade merchants with an extreme gambling addiction not only gamble on the stones themselves, but also specifically gamble on the first cut after the stone is opened, which shows how exciting that cut is.

The cutting master received instructions and began his work.

"Buzz".

With a deep rumble, everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the rough stone, afraid of missing the exciting moment when green jade would emerge.

Liu Xiangrong and Wei Yuan stood side by side, with Liu Xiangrong nervously gripping Wei Yuan's hand tightly.

If it really turns out to be a green mark, losing money is a minor issue; what's worse is that she and the Jinyu Group will completely lose face!

Wei Yuan could feel Liu Xiangrong's nervousness from the pressure of her hand, and gently patted her.

"Don't worry, we won't lose."

Tang Hai heard this and sneered.

"Still being stubborn even when death is imminent."

"Then open your dog eyes wide and see how I beat you!"

Wei Yuan smiled indifferently.

"Remember what you said."

"I hope you can still smile later!"

Tang Hai glared at Yue Qingsheng, about to retort, when Yue Qingsheng patted him and pointed to the rough stone, indicating that the window had been opened. Tang Hai then glared angrily at Wei Yuan, watching the stone cutter rinse the cut surface with slightly rapid breathing.

The people around them craned their necks to look ahead.

"Hey, how's it going? Has it turned green yet?"

"Hey you upstairs, give me an answer, is there any green yet?"

"Damn it, I cut it all down, there's no green left!"

The moment the words "It's been cut down" were uttered, the scene exploded like a bomb, with the clamor reaching the ceiling.

"Really? This is a record-breaking bid of 30 million!"

"I saw it, it really was cut off, no green came out!"

As the cutting master washed away the last stone powder from the cut surface, everyone could clearly see the grayish-white cut surface, without any trace of green shimmer!

boom!

Everyone instantly became excited, and the soaring roar made it impossible to hear what they were saying, except for the organizers, whose faces turned green.

This is a bid of 30 million, if they really lose it, then their reputation will be ruined!

The smiles on Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai's faces froze instantly. They stared wide-eyed at the grayish-white cross-section in disbelief, their brains almost shutting down.

It's impossible that such a good-looking rough stone didn't turn out green.

"yeah!"

Despite her tense state of mind, Liu Xiangrong burst out happily, hugging Wei Yuan tightly as she looked at Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai with a sweet yet venomous smile.

"President Yue, President Tang, it seems you've lost this bet."

Yue Qingsheng's forehead veins throbbed, and he gritted his teeth with a gloomy face.

"We're betting on whether the rough stone will yield green jade. This is only the first cut, don't get too cocky!"

"Keep cutting!"

Yue Qingsheng's words calmed Tang Hai down, and he nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, so what if opening the window doesn't produce greenery? Maybe it's just that the window wasn't in the right spot. Opening the window in a different location will definitely produce greenery!"

These words significantly reduced the noise in the room.

That's not wrong. Indeed, many rough stones have had windows cut in the wrong places, or the jadeite was hidden too deep to be cut out on the first cut.

The organizer, wiping sweat from his brow, nodded frantically, "That's right, that's right, everyone, quiet down, let's continue cutting."

The scene fell silent again. Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai lost their composure and stood in front of the raw stone for a long time before carefully deciding where to make the second cut.

"Cut along this color band!"

Yue Qingsheng gritted his teeth and gave the order, his heart pounding rapidly.

This cut was the spot they considered most likely to yield green after discussion.

If the colored band can penetrate the stone, even just three centimeters, given the size of this stone, it can not only bring out the green color in one cut, but also directly dissipate the impact of the first cut, causing the value to skyrocket to double!

Of course, if it hasn't turned green yet, then...

Yue Qingsheng didn't continue thinking about it, staring intently at the cutting master's movements.

There's no reason why such a good rough stone wouldn't yield green; it's bound to!

for sure!

"Thump."

The cut stones fell off, and the stone cutter used water to wash away the stone powder.

Not only Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai, but everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Whether the 30 million yuan bidding king will rise or fall depends on this one move!

The next second, the cross-section appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Damn, still no green, another disaster!"

A gasp of surprise reignited everyone's emotions.

"This was a record-breaking bid of 30 million! Has it really gone wrong?"

"Is this really old mine stone? Or is it fake and a scam?"

"It's all over, the color band didn't even turn green, it's probably going to collapse."

The onlookers spoke excitedly, while Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai were already deathly pale.

Liu Xiangrong, who was initially a little nervous, completely relaxed and hugged Wei Yuan, giggling and stimulating Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai's hearts.

The organizers' hands started to tremble, especially when they heard people questioning the origin of their raw stones; they almost burst out laughing.

With the 30 million yuan bid falling through, their conference was essentially ruined.

If rumors of counterfeit goods or returns surface again, this conference will be pointless to continue!

So the organizers didn't bother to overstep their bounds and directly ordered the cutting master to try and salvage the situation.

"Let's open a window somewhere else and take a look!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Yue Qingsheng, who had just come to his senses, rudely interrupted him.

Yue Qingsheng gave the organizers a cold look and gritted his teeth before speaking.

"Why bother opening a window? Just cut it in the middle and it'll be obvious!"

"Cut it for me!"

Having failed to produce any green on either of his two cuts, Yue Qingsheng lost most of his confidence and resorted to a brutal method: cutting the blade in two.

If you cut it in half, it will be immediately clear whether there is jade or not.

The cutting master readily agreed and made a cut in the middle as instructed by Yue Qingsheng.

Tang Hai clenched his fists, still fantasizing about defying fate.

Perhaps this rough stone only contains jade in the middle?

However, Yue Qingsheng, who had better eyesight, had already closed his eyes in pain, his teeth almost grinding to powder.

The water flow washed over it, but the cut surface remained grayish-white, without any trace of jade.

Wow!

The entire venue erupted in cheers.

Everyone stared at the grayish-white cross-section with goosebumps, shouting incoherently to vent their churning emotions.

Even Liu Xiangrong was so excited that she hugged Wei Yuan and kissed him several times. The two elders, Li Cheng and Qian Miao, were so shocked that their glasses almost fell off.

Only Wei Yuan remained calm, extending his right hand towards Yue Qingsheng and Tang Hai.

"Thank you for your concession."

"Six million, cash or bank transfer?"
