When Xia Ruofei arrived at the Jade Public Bid site again, it was already past nine o 'clock in the evening.
However, the place was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was very lively. Many people had gathered at the stone-cutting site, which was only a wall away from the public bid. The roar of the cutting machine never stopped, and there were exclamations from time to time.
"Mr. Xia!" Yu Mingdong waved at Xia Ruofei from afar.
He was full of smiles, and it seemed that he was in a good mood.
"Mr. Yu, it seems that you've gained a lot!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"I'm in luck!" Yu Mingdong said happily. "It's all thanks to Mr. He. He was the one who suggested that I raise the price of several raw stones. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what the result would be …"
He Ping smiled reservedly, but he was very proud in his heart.
Xia Ruofei didn't think much of it. He didn't know how good this stone gambling consultant was, but he knew that the raw stone that Yu Mingdong bought for more than 20 million was most likely going to lose money.
Yu Mingdong asked again, "Mr. Xia, don't you have another raw stone here? Why don't you open it together today? "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Okay! Since you experts are here, I'll need Mr. Yu and Mr. He's advice on how to open it! "
He Ping was a little surprised and asked, "Mr. Xia also won?"
Yu Mingdong said with a smile, "Mr. Xia also spent a lot this time! He bought a total of eight raw stones! "
He Ping was even more surprised. He couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei again. However, when he heard Yu Mingdong say that seven of the raw stones only cost more than three million, he suddenly lost interest.
Yu Mingdong felt that Xia Ruofei's seven raw stones probably didn't have much of a chance of increasing the price, but the number 1896 should be good, so he said with a smile, "Mr. He, other than those seven raw stones, Mr. Xia also won a good raw stone, number 1896. You should remember it!"
He Ping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ask, "Number 1896? What's the transaction price? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I invested 8.6 million, but I didn't expect to actually win the bid!"
He Ping couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei, then lightly said, "It's too expensive …"
Yu Mingdong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He didn't expect He Ping to be so straightforward. This made him feel a little embarrassed.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's only a few million. It doesn't matter even if it's a loss. Who asked me to feel that it was right when I first saw it?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Money can't buy good things! "Yu Mingdong hurriedly echoed.
He Ping also thought that Xia Ruofei was a stupid rich second generation, but because Xia Ruofei and Ma Zhiming were good friends, he didn't say anything more. He just smiled faintly and didn't say much.
Yu Mingdong said again, "Mr. Xia, then go and take out that raw stone. Let's go and open it together!"
"Okay, please wait a moment!" Xia Ruofei said straightforwardly.
He came to the public bid site and found an empty service desk. After showing the deposit receipt, a staff member quickly sent the raw stone over with a small forklift.
When they heard that Xia Ruofei was going to open the stone next door, the staff member of the public bid said that they could directly send the raw stone over for Xia Ruofei.
So Xia Ruofei left the public bid site with the forklift empty-handed.
The public bid provided the stone cutting equipment for free, so many people chose to open the stone on the spot after winning the bid. If a few raw stones rose in price, it would also be a very good publicity for the public bid.
Yu Mingdong took Xia Ruofei to the next door. The raw stones he bought were already piled up together. There were about seven or eight of them, and the biggest one was the raw stone number 633 that he bought for more than 20 million.
Shi Lei was diligently guarding the pile of raw stones. When he saw Xia Ruofei and the others coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped the staff remove Xia Ruofei's raw stone.
"Mr. Xia, how about … opening your raw stone first?" Yu Mingdong asked with a smile.
Xia Ruofei looked at Yu Mingdong's pile of raw stones. The largest raw stone number 633 was naturally the most conspicuous. He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Mr. Yu, you go first! I also want to broaden my horizons … "
Yu Mingdong said straightforwardly, "Okay! Then I won't hold back! "
He was also eager to open his raw stones. After all, the factory was still waiting for his harvest from this public bid!
Yu Mingdong looked at He Ping and said politely, "Mr. He, then I'll have to trouble you …"
He Ping nodded slightly and motioned for Shi Lei to move one of the raw stones out.
Xia Ruofei had been paying attention to the situation here. When he saw this, he smiled secretly. Just as he guessed, He Ping chose a relatively small raw stone.
Number 633 was the most expensive one, so according to common sense, it should be the last to be opened.
He Ping took out a strong flashlight and carefully examined the raw stone. Then, he took out a pen and began to draw lines on the surface of the stone.
It was human nature to watch a show, not to mention such an exciting stone cutting. Therefore, many people saw that they were preparing to open the stone and gathered around.
Soon, He Ping finished drawing the lines. He asked Shi Lei and the stonecutter to move the raw stone onto the cutting machine.
"Cut according to this line first." He Ping pointed at the raw stone and said, "If there is no green, start from the cut …"
"Okay!" The stonecutter said with a grin.
The stonecutter who was invited by the organizer of the public bid was very experienced. They had cut many jade raw stones, so they were naturally familiar with the operation.
Although the stonecutter was provided by the organizer of the public bid for free, the stonecutter was paid by the organizer of the public bid. Compared to the profit from selling the jade raw stones, the cost of labor was nothing.
In addition, once the price rose, the owner of the raw stone would definitely give a red packet to the stonecutter. Therefore, at the annual public bid event, many stonecutters wanted to work here.
The roar of the cutting machine sounded. The stonecutter's hand was very steady. In the splashing stone chips, he accurately cut the raw stone along the line drawn by He Ping.
Without waiting for He Ping to speak, the stonecutter took a wet cloth and wiped away the stone chips on the cut.
Everyone suddenly saw a touch of green, and the onlookers suddenly talked about it.
"It looks like it rose!"
"This water head is good!"
"Old Yu, you have a good start!"
Yu Mingdong's face was also red, and he thanked him again and again.
Xia Ruofei looked carefully and found that after the raw stone was cut in half, one side of the cut could clearly see the green of the jade, while the other half had almost no green.
It could be seen that He Ping's line was quite accurate. Under the premise of not being able to detect the inside of the stone, he could do this purely based on his experience. He was indeed quite capable.
He Ping couldn't help but show a trace of pride on his face.
After that, there was no need for He Ping's guidance. The stonecutter naturally knew what to do. Cutting, rubbing, grinding … all kinds of different methods were used. After a while, a piece of jade the size of two fists appeared in front of everyone.
Yu Mingdong happily took the jade.
"President Yu, congratulations! This should have risen a lot, right? "Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.
Yu Mingdong said happily, "The water head is good, but the quality is a little bit worse. It's a small profit …"
At this time, a jade owner who was familiar with Yu Mingdong said, "Old Yu, this is a small profit! If I remember correctly, you spent 800,000 yuan on this raw stone, right? If you don't think the quality of this material is good, you can transfer two million yuan to me … "
Yu Mingdong held the jade and said, "Old Zhu, are you bullying me because I don't know the industry? This material is worth at least 2.3 million yuan! Besides, my own factory is lacking in material! How can I open it and sell it? "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be secretly speechless. No wonder so many people rushed to stone gambling. The price of this raw stone that was bought for 800,000 yuan had tripled in the blink of an eye!
And listening to Yu Mingdong's tone, it was only a small increase.
Since the first raw stone was a good start, Yu Mingdong naturally continued to work hard and immediately began to cut the second raw stone.
He Ping received Yu Mingdong's payment and did his job diligently. He spared no effort in providing technical guidance.
Hearing that the price of the raw stone had risen, more and more people came to watch.
Everyone was talking about it. Xia Ruofei just watched quietly from the side. He really didn't have much professional knowledge, so he could only watch.
However, from everyone's discussion, Xia Ruofei also roughly knew that Yu Mingdong should have made a lot of money today.
He opened three raw stones in a row, and all of them rose. From everyone's envious expression, Xia Ruofei also knew that such a situation of three consecutive rises should be rare.
It wasn't until the fourth piece that everyone sighed.
This piece was a failure.
It was said that the raw stone that was bought for more than 1.2 million yuan only had some sporadic fragments in the end. It was estimated that he couldn't even earn back the change.
However, Yu Mingdong didn't care too much. He was already very surprised that the stones rose by so many pieces. Stone gambling was like this. If every stone rose, then who would be willing to sell the raw stone? They would just open it to sell the raw stone.
Moreover, Yu Mingdong's biggest hope was still the No. 633 raw stone.
This raw stone cost him more than 20 million yuan. More than half of the investment this time was spent on this raw stone. In Yu Mingdong's view, the previous ones were just appetizers.
The stone cutting continued.
In addition to No. 633, there were four other raw stones of different sizes, and they were all quickly cut out.
Two of them rose slightly, one was a complete failure, and 900,000 yuan went down the drain. There was also one that basically broke even. The jade that was taken out was processed, so there might be a small profit.
Yu Mingdong did a rough calculation. Compared to buying the raw stone directly, he still made three million yuan from the first eight raw stones. Naturally, he was in a good mood.
Just when Yu Mingdong was excited and ready to open the last raw stone, Xia Ruofei suddenly said, "Mr. Yu, looking at your raw stones one by one, I can't help but feel itchy. Why don't … you open mine first?"
Yu Mingdong was stunned for a moment, but he still said straightforwardly, "Okay! No problem! "
Xia Ruofei then said to He Ping, "Old He, can I trouble you to give me some guidance? I don't know anything about these things … "
Through the raw stones just now, Xia Ruofei had a new understanding of He Ping's ability. In addition, he could only sense the jade in the raw stone through the Spiritual Map Scroll, but he didn't know the specific location of the jade. As for how to cut it, he didn't know anything. He still had to rely on the guidance of a professional.
He Ping knew that Xia Ruofei was with Yu Mingdong and was Ma Zhiming's friend, so he didn't put on airs. He nodded and began to study Xia Ruofei's raw stone.
He frowned and thought for a while. Then, he drew a line on the surface of the raw stone and said to the stone-cutting master, "Cut it from this side first!"
The stone-cutting master nodded and directed the forklift to place the raw stone on the cutting machine. He also asked Shi Lei to come over and help adjust the position. After fixing it, he turned on the cutting machine.
This raw stone was a little famous in today's public bidding. Many people had an impression of it. Several people even participated in the competition, but in the end, it was won by Xia Ruofei.
So everyone was in high spirits. After all, compared to this raw stone, Yu Mingdong's small ones were a little inferior.
Xia Ruofei also stared at the cutting machine intently. He only knew that there must be jade in this raw stone, and that it could make the Ring-Tu space react so strongly. The jade inside was either of high quality or in large quantities, so now he couldn't wait to see the real appearance of the inside of the stone.
In the sharp noise, stone chips flew.
Xia Ruofei's eyesight was far better than that of ordinary people. While everyone was waiting for the stone-cutting master to cut the raw stone along the line drawn by He Ping, Xia Ruofei keenly noticed that there seemed to be a touch of green at the cut.
Xia Ruofei subconsciously shouted, "Stop!"
Although the scene was very noisy, Xia Ruofei's voice contained a trace of True Qi, so it was clearly transmitted to the stone-cutting master's ears. He almost subconsciously stabilized his arm, raised the knife, and turned off the power.
The stone-cutting master looked at Xia Ruofei with some confusion.
He Ping also frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Xia, is there a problem?"
Xia Ruofei said, "Mr. He, I think I saw green …"
He Ping frowned and said, "How is that possible? The cut is so small, and stone chips are flying. It's impossible to see what's inside! Besides, I've looked at this raw stone carefully. If you cut it along the line I just drew, you definitely won't cut the jade! "
The onlookers couldn't help but talk about it.
"This young man is too nervous! How can he see what's inside the cut in that case? "
"And this line was drawn by Mr. He himself. How can it be wrong?"
"I think he wants to bet so much that he's hallucinating, hahaha …"
"It's obvious that he's a rookie …"
Xia Ruofei didn't pay attention to those people's discussion. He just patiently said to He Ping, "Mr. He, maybe I saw wrong … But since we've stopped, we might as well take a look at the cut first!"
He Ping's face was a little dark. He said sullenly, "This raw stone is yours. You can cut it however you want!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said to the stone-cutting master, "Master, please bring me some water …"
The stone-cutting master immediately brought a basin of water and washed the stone chips and powder out of the cut. Then, he took out a strong flashlight with a smile and shone it into the cut that was less than a centimeter wide.
He also knew He Ping's name. He didn't believe that Xia Ruofei could see the inside of the cut in that case, nor did he believe that He Ping would draw the wrong line.
