The stone-cutting master's howl startled everyone at the scene.
Was it really green? It couldn't be that bad, right?
He Ping was just thinking about it when he heard the stone-cutting master shout, "It's green! It's green! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but find it funny. Who was cuckolded? Why was he so excited?
He Ping couldn't believe it. He rushed to the stone-cutting master's side, took out a strong flashlight, and shined it into the cut.
Then, He Ping was stunned.
The onlookers were anxious! They saw that He Ping didn't move for a long time, so they couldn't help but ask, "Mr. He, how is it?"
He Ping straightened his body in a daze and muttered, "It's really green … How is this possible?"
It wasn't his first time analyzing this raw stone. Yesterday, he had looked at it with Yu Mingdong for a long time. Just now, he looked at it carefully again. He was quite confident in his heart, so he drew that line.
Who would have thought that the line was so wrong? If Xia Ruofei hadn't stopped at the last minute, the cut would have really cut a good piece of jade in half.
No matter what his previous analysis was, this result was equivalent to overturning all of his previous analysis.
As soon as He Ping's voice fell, the onlookers couldn't help but become restless.
There was really green! Everyone looked at Xia Ruofei with a strange look. What was with this young man's eyes? He could see it clearly in that situation. Could it be that he was just lucky?
He Ping still found it hard to believe. The stone-cutting master next to him asked awkwardly, "Boss, this raw stone … How do we open it next?"
Xia Ruofei said, "I don't know this stuff … Mr. He, how about … Please take another look?"
He Ping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Xia Ruofei saw this and quickly said, "Mr. He, don't misunderstand! I don't mean anything else … I really don't know about stone gambling. How do we open it next? I still need your help … "
Originally, He Ping was too embarrassed to continue staying. However, he heard Xia Ruofei's tone and felt that it was not sarcastic. In fact, it sounded quite sincere. In addition, he was also quite curious about this raw stone, so he still nodded shamelessly and began to analyze it seriously.
Xia Ruofei couldn't understand what He Ping was mumbling to himself, but he was very sure that there must be a valuable jade inside this raw stone. The Spiritual Map Scroll's senses had never been wrong.
He Ping analyzed for a long time, but he was still uncertain. In the end, he drew another line and said after a moment of hesitation, "Master, this time, cut it open from this position!"
Then, He Ping said to Xia Ruofei, "Mr. Xia, let me make it clear to you. I don't have much confidence this time. If I really cut it wrong … "
"It's alright!" Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I have good eyesight. If there is really green, I should be able to see it immediately."
He Ping's eyelids twitched, but he didn't say anything more.
Naturally, the stone-cutter didn't have any objections. He quickly adjusted the angle according to He Ping's line, then turned on the power of the cutting machine and began to cut from another position.
Everyone cheered up and wanted to see if Mr. He, who had always had good eyesight, would make a mistake again. Xia Ruofei also stared at the raw stone under the cutting machine very seriously. If He Ping really made a mistake, it would be his jade that would be damaged, and it would cost him money!
This time, there was no accident. In the flying stone chips, the raw stone was cut into two halves, one big and one small. There was no green at all at the cut.
"As expected, Elder He is still a treasure!"
"It must have been an accident. This is Mr. He's level!"
Everyone was talking about it, and He Ping's face finally looked better.
Then, He Ping was more confident. He judged that there was no jade in the small half, so he directly asked the stone-cutter to start grinding along the cut of the big half. At the same time, he also drew a few reference lines.
The stone-cutter also quickly changed the grinding wheel and cut the big half according to He Ping's instructions.
On the other hand, Xia Ruofei's heart was slightly moved. He intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to take a look. When no one was paying attention, he casually reached out to touch the other half of the Origin Stone. A light flashed in his eyes.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't say anything. He just stepped aside and quietly watched the stone-cutter's operation.
The raw stone gradually shrank under the skillful operation of the stone-cutter, and a large amount of worthless stone skin was cut off.
"It's green! It's green! "
"Look at the type of water!"
The onlookers all shouted excitedly.
Xia Ruofei also looked over. The stone-cutter turned off the cutting machine, found a basin of water to rinse the cut, and then wiped it with a wet cloth.
He Ping had already stepped forward to check it. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He turned his head and said, "It's of the waxy type. The water source is average. If it's 8.6 million, it should be a loss …"
As soon as He Ping said this, everyone sighed. At the same time, many people looked at Xia Ruofei with gloating eyes.
They all saw that Xia Ruofei was a rich young master who didn't know anything about stone gambling. If he won, he was really lucky, and if he lost, it was normal.
In particular, many people had a mentality of hatred for the rich. Seeing Xia Ruofei lose millions at once, they couldn't help but secretly feel happy.
Yu Mingdong looked at Xia Ruofei and comforted him, "Mr. Xia, there's no guarantee that you'll win in stone gambling. In fact, you've already cut out a good jade, so you shouldn't lose much money …"
Before Xia Ruofei had time to speak, a middle-aged man with a big belly looked at the half-transparent material seriously, raised his head and said to Xia Ruofei, "Little brother, how about transferring this material to me? I'll take it for 3.5 million, and you can reduce your loss … "
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "Sorry, I don't plan to sell it for the time being."
Yu Mingdong also glared at the middle-aged fat man and said, "Old Luo, Mr. Xia is my friend. How dare you take advantage of the situation? This material has been cut to this extent. Even if it's a loss, it shouldn't be worth 3.5 million! "
He Ping, who was at the side, said faintly, "Actually, CEO Luo's price is quite fair …"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but squint slightly and look at He Ping. He thought to himself, "What does this old man mean? Which side is he on? "
He Ping ignored Xia Ruofei's gaze and said, "President Yu, I didn't think highly of this material yesterday. At that time, I said that the starting price of five million was a little too high and the risk was too high. Now, it has confirmed my judgment."
Yu Mingdong frowned slightly and said, "Mr. He, even so, 3.5 million is still …"
He Ping curled his lips and said, "This material's permeability is not good. If it continues, the quality of the jade may be even worse. It might even crack. At that time, not to mention 3.5 million, it might not even be worth 2 million …"
Xia Ruofei was quite unhappy to see He Ping belittling the material. He said lightly, "It doesn't matter if it's 3.5 million or 2 million, it doesn't matter if it's worthless. It's just a few million yuan! Master, continue! "
He Ping snorted softly and stood to the side without saying anything.
Mr. Luo, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, also said with a smile, "Little brother, why are you against money? I'm helping you share the risk and reduce the loss! "
Xia Ruofei was full of confidence. Even if the material was really worthless, he didn't care at all, so he just smiled faintly and ignored Mr. Luo. He signaled the stonecutter to continue.
Everyone thought that Xia Ruofei was young and impetuous. In addition to He Ping's judgment, there were a few people who wanted to raise the price to compete with Mr. Luo, but they all gave up and made up their minds to watch the show.
Yu Mingdong's confidence was shaken by He Ping's words. He wanted to persuade Xia Ruofei, but seeing Xia Ruofei's determined attitude, he could only sigh and continue to watch from the sidelines.
The stonecutter rubbed his hands and continued to cut the stone.
This material was already half clear. He didn't need He Ping's guidance and directly began to grind it bit by bit with the grinder. He had been doing this for more than 20 years, so it wasn't difficult at all.
After a while, a complete piece of jade was peeled out.
After washing it with water, everyone's eyes naturally fell on this piece of jade.
Yu Mingdong was the first to step forward. He picked up the piece of jade and looked at it over and over several times.
Then he turned to Xia Ruofei and said, "Mr. Xia, it's not bad. The waxy jade has a good water source. It should be worth four to five million …"
The possibilities that He Ping said didn't happen, but there were no miracles either. The final result was not surprising.
He Ping said coldly, "You're lucky, but you just lost a little. Only a newbie would have the guts to spend more than eight million on this kind of material …"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but secretly roll his eyes. He didn't know what was wrong with this old man today. He didn't seem to have offended him! Why was he being so sarcastic?
Yu Mingdong was also a smart person. He definitely didn't want to offend Xia Ruofei, but He Ping was also a very capable stone gambling consultant. This time, He Ping had helped him successfully win a lot of raw stones. He might ask for his help in the future, so he couldn't offend him.
So Yu Mingdong simply changed the topic and said, "Mr. Xia, our factory can use this material. How about I buy it for five million?"
He also wanted to reduce Xia Ruofei's loss. If other jade merchants bought it, they might pay 4.5 million at most. However, his factory needed all kinds of jade raw materials. Moreover, his factory had good skills. Even if he bought it for five million, he would still make a profit. At the same time, he could sell it to Xia Ruofei. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
Xia Ruofei's space had already been upgraded. If he continued to use jade to upgrade it, he didn't know how big of a bottomless hole it would be. For the time being, he still hoped to find more boundary stones.
After all, it wasn't very reliable to just rely on jade to upgrade.
In addition, if he really needed to use jade to upgrade in the future, he could participate in other jade public bids and use the sensing ability of the Spiritual Map Scroll to buy raw stones. As long as he didn't open it on the spot and looked good, it wouldn't be easy to arouse suspicion.
Since this piece had already been opened, selling it was a good choice.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't hesitate. He smiled and nodded. "Sure! If Mr. Yu wants it, I'll let you have it … "
Originally, Boss Luo and the others were also prepared to bid. Of course, they couldn't offer such a high price of five million. They just wanted to take advantage of it.
However, this jade was already known. Moreover, there was Yu Mingdong, who knew the industry. In addition, Yu Mingdong directly offered a price of five million, so they naturally gave up.
"Okay, okay, okay. Then I'll keep this material first!" Yu Mingdong said happily. "I'll transfer the money to you later!"
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly. Yu Mingdong immediately signaled Shi Lei to come over and put away this piece of jade.
At this time, He Ping said coldly, "Mr. Yu, you're really a good person!"
Yu Mingdong smiled embarrassedly. He felt that it was inappropriate to say anything, so he simply didn't say anything.
Xia Ruofei naturally felt even more disgusted. He couldn't help but say, "Mr. He, are you so sure that this raw stone is a failure?"
He Ping was stunned for a moment. Then, he shrugged his shoulders and said amusedly, "Isn't it obvious?"
Everyone also felt that it was a little funny. It was already known. Wasn't it obvious whether it was a success or a failure?
Could it be that this young man was so angry that he lost his mind?
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "Obvious? This material doesn't seem to be finished yet, right? "
After that, Xia Ruofei pointed at the other half of the raw stone and looked at He Ping.
Everyone suddenly burst into laughter. He Ping couldn't help but smile mockingly. He said, "Don't tell me you're hoping that there's jade inside?"
"Little brother, you're taking it for granted!"
"You're too naive! That's just a piece of waste! "
Even the stonecutter couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss, there's definitely no jade in this half of the stone! I've been in this business for more than 20 years. Although I'm not as good as those stone gambling consultants, I can see that it's just a piece of leftover material … "
Xia Ruofei said lightly, "Are you all so sure? As the saying goes, 'Even an immortal can't cut an inch of jade'. Maybe I'm so lucky that the other half can even have imperial jade! "
He Ping couldn't help but laugh. "Imperial jade? Not to mention imperial jade, as long as there's jade inside, even if it's bean type, I'll eat it on the spot! "
"Why should I let you eat my jade?" Xia Ruofei blinked and said innocently, "Have you asked for my opinion?"
He Ping was not angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "I'm too lazy to tangle with you! If you want to play, then play! I'd like to see what kind of flowers can bloom from this piece of waste! "
