This huge piece of jade is quite ugly, resembling a roadside boulder that no one seems to care about. However, it contains a large expanse of green on the upper half of the stone, about the size of a football. Wow, such a large piece of jade, and with excellent translucency, an icy, bright green color. This is high-end material for making bracelets, definitely worth tens of millions.
However, these people naturally had no idea what was going on inside.
"Are you sure?" Xue Tao asked Song Tian'er seriously.
"I'm sure!" Song Tian'er took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"Alright. This one will do. Name your price!" Xue Tao said, turning back to look at the jade bracelet.
Julian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "It's good that this girl lost all her money; otherwise, I would have lost all face."
"This piece of raw jade weighs 168 jin and is of average quality. Well, I'll give it 100,000 yuan!" Yu Zhuo said somewhat embarrassedly.
After all, this rock looks big, but it's just a piece of junk, worthless. It's obviously a money-losing item, yet he's asking for 100,000. If he's so confident, then his shamelessness is even greater than the corner of a city wall.
“Fifty thousand!” Wang Yunyi said sternly.
"Alright." Yu Zhuo agreed without hesitation; even fifty thousand was a profit. He would have been satisfied if this batch of rough stones could have sold for over a hundred thousand, since they were all destined to be unwanted fertilizer. He was only here to broaden his horizons, so the things he brought were all discarded items from his family.
"Wait! Besides this big one, this small one is included with the 50,000 yuan." Li Yang suddenly picked up the small stone he had his eye on, the one about the size of a football.
Inside, there was a fist-sized piece of jade that shone brilliantly and was truly a top-quality piece of jade, worth over ten million!
After all, such a glassy imperial green jadeite is a top-quality item anywhere; even the crown of the British royal family only has jadeite of this quality.
It is the finest and most exquisite of all jadeite; even a single piece of imperial green jadeite the size of an egg is worth millions.
This one is now the size of a fist, and it's no exaggeration to say it's worth tens of millions!
Song Tian'er glanced at Li Yang with surprise. That dark, ugly piece of wool was so bad that even stray dogs wouldn't give it a second look if it were left on the roadside.
How could it possibly turn green? What's wrong with Li Yang today?
It's one thing for him to choose such a big, clumsy piece of raw jade, but why did he choose such an unpopular one?
The jade bracelet looked at the dark, rough stone and smiled generously, saying, "Okay, no problem. I'll give it to this brother."
Li Yang chuckled and picked it up, playing with it as if it were a real soccer ball. Even an ordinary rock this size would weigh over ten kilograms, right?
However, Li Yang handled it with such ease, as if he were really playing football, which frustrated some viewers.
"Would you like to take a look at the other rough stones?" Yu Zhu asked, pointing to a large area of rough stones.
Xue Tao looked at Song Tian'er and Julian. Julian had just lost a bet and dared not gamble again.
Song Tian'er wasn't confident either; this one piece was enough, and she didn't dare take any more risks. So she shook her head as well.
"We don't need the others; we can let other people take a look," Xue Tao refused.
"Alright." He didn't insist on the jade bracelet, after all, he knew these were all scrap materials, garbage. Selling even a few pieces would be a stroke of good luck; he couldn't expect people to buy them all. Nobody's an idiot, right?
"Then how about unraveling the mystery at the scene?" the jade bracelet asked again.
"Alright." Xue Tao knew the quality of the raw material wasn't good, and she was also eager to know how lucky Li Yang was, whether he was her lucky charm.
He nodded in agreement.
The people who had gathered around to watch the stone being cut were about to leave, since only a fool would buy such low-quality rough stones. But seeing that the stone was about to be cut again, they couldn't help but stay and watch. After all, this is the mysterious part of gambling on stones; even with such low-quality rough stones, no one dares to say with absolute certainty that they are truly garbage.
Splash splash splash...
The machine is up!
Chapter 311: The Surge and the Jackals
Julian was the one who made the move. He was not only an expert in gambling on stones, but also a master at cutting stones.
He had no confidence in this jade gambling venture to begin with, especially since he had just lost money on one. This one looked like utter garbage.
So when I made the cut, I did it casually, just slicing it in half with one stroke.
Whoosh...
The center is all white, with no green spots at all.
"Sigh...it's all over..."
"Yeah, this kind of raw material looks like it came from dog shit..."
"If you knew I'd stay and watch, you'd be wasting your time..."
Julian was secretly pleased. Good, he'd fallen from grace, which made him feel a little better. But on the surface, he deliberately showed a hint of regret and disappointment.
Song Tian'er was also very disappointed, but she comforted herself in her heart that it was normal to lose money after all, since it was the first time. Besides, Li Yang didn't understand these things, so it was normal for him to lose money.
"Mr. Xue, should we continue the analysis?" Julian asked.
People started to disperse, leaving only a dozen or so stubborn individuals still watching, determined to see the final outcome.
"Tch!" Since it's already a disaster, cutting it again doesn't matter. Xue Tao asked in shock. She hadn't even looked at the jadeite; she was still staring at Li Yang. She was surprised to find that Li Yang seemed to have expected this outcome, showing no surprise or disappointment whatsoever.
She immediately sensed that there was something fishy about this.
Cut the bottom half open, and it's just white excrement again. It's become utter waste.
Julian was completely relieved; waste is waste.
Xue Tao frowned slightly and sighed. It seemed that he had really overthought things. It was just a passing fancy. His calm expression was simply because he didn't understand or care about these things.
