Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Mr. Yu, you don't really believe what that old man said, do you? I don't know anything about stone gambling at all! How can I give you any advice? "
Yu Mingdong didn't think so. His action seemed ridiculous, but in fact, the surrounding jade merchants didn't find it strange.
In their line of work, they believed in luck. Stone gambling relied on a bit of luck. Who would win every bet? In their opinion, Xia Ruofei was obviously lucky today. Even if Xia Ruofei didn't know anything about stone gambling, maybe his advice would be right?
It was like how some lottery fans would ask people who didn't buy lottery tickets to pick a random one.
Yu Mingdong smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, you're lucky today. Just give some advice!"
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "How can I give advice? If I cut your precious jadeite in half with one slash, I'll cut it into half … "
"Then count it on me! I won't blame you! "Yu Mingdong patted his chest and said.
"Little brother, please help Mr. Yu!"
"Yeah! You're lucky today. You can get whatever you want! "
"We're still waiting to see the price of this material rise! Don't hesitate! "
The surrounding jade merchants also tried to persuade him.
Xia Ruofei looked at Yu Mingdong and felt that he wasn't joking. He had no choice but to say, "Then I'm really messing around. Don't blame me if anything goes wrong …"
"Don't blame me, don't blame me! Absolutely not … "Yu Mingdong said quickly.
Xia Ruofei nodded and walked to the raw stone. Yu Mingdong and the surrounding jade merchants all held their breaths and stared at Xia Ruofei.
In fact, Xia Ruofei knew that Yu Mingdong had lost this raw stone. When Xia Ruofei checked this raw stone, the reaction of the Spiritual Map Scroll was far less than his No.1860. Yu Mingdong's price was indeed three times that of Xia Ruofei's material.
Xia Ruofei came over tonight because he wanted to help Yu Mingdong reduce his loss as much as possible.
Therefore, when he arrived in front of the Origin Stone, he began to feel around the Origin Stone in a serious manner.
This raw stone was bigger than the one that Xia Ruofei had just opened, and there was even a window in one of its positions. It was precisely because of this "window" that a thin layer of stone could be seen underneath the thin layer of stone, and the quality of this raw stone was at least of the ice grade. That was why the price of this raw stone was so high.
Usually, when people who gambled on stones appraised this kind of material, their focus would definitely fall on the open window because this kind of green window allowed them to observe the situation inside the raw stone as much as possible with a strong flashlight.
However, Xia Ruofei was different. He just kept feeling around the surface of the material, almost touching every part of the material.
In fact, Xia Ruofei wasn't pretending. This raw stone was very big, and the reaction of the Spiritual Map Scroll at different positions was actually different. This difference was very small, but it was enough for Xia Ruofei to guess the approximate position of the jade essence inside.
And with this judgment, it was enough for Xia Ruofei.
After a while, he straightened up and drew a line on a protruding part of the raw stone. He said, "Director Yu, why don't we cut off this corner and then rub it inside?"
Xia Ruofei's words stunned the jade merchants. Under normal circumstances, this kind of half-transparent material would be handled from the window. This was basically common knowledge.
And the position that Xia Ruofei pointed at just happened to be behind the window. It could be said that it was the opposite of what they were doing.
Yu Mingdong was also stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Okay! Let's do it according to Mr. Xia's suggestion! "
The jade merchants immediately started discussing.
"Hey! Old Yu is going all out! "
"That young man is so lucky today!"
"If it were me, I would take a gamble too …"
…
After the stone-cutting master received Yu Mingdong's order, he didn't say much. He directed the forklift to place the raw stone in place. After adjusting the position slightly and fixing it, he turned on the power of the cutting machine.
In the sharp sound of friction, stone chips flew everywhere.
Soon, the protruding corner was cut off. The cut surface was white, and there wasn't a single bit of green.
Everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other.
But Yu Mingdong didn't hesitate and said, "Start rubbing the stone from here!"
Since he chose to believe in illusory luck, Yu Mingdong couldn't take back the arrow that was shot.
The stone-cutting master picked up the hand grinder and replaced the new grinding wheel. After turning on the power, he started rubbing the stone from the new cut.
Everyone was also watching intently, but they all had different thoughts.
After a while, Xia Ruofei suddenly raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything. This was because the experienced stone-cutting master also raised his hand and turned off the power of the grinder.
"Why did he stop!"
"Is there green again?"
While everyone was talking, the stone-cutting master wiped the grinding part with a wet cloth. After looking carefully, he turned around and said with a smile, "Congratulations, boss! There's green … "
Like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples, these jade merchants who were watching the fun suddenly became excited.
Yu Mingdong's face was full of joy. He quickly walked forward to take a closer look. He was so happy that his body was trembling.
He said, "Mr. Xia is really a lucky star! The quality of the jade in this position is better. If there's no accident, it should reach the glass type! "
The jade merchants couldn't help but gather around.
The window was right there, and most of them were in this line of business. It could be said that it was clear at a glance.
Now, everyone was even more envious of Yu Mingdong.
Not only did he buy the rare top-grade violet floating flower jade, but the raw stone that he bought at a high price also seemed to have increased in value.
Two windows were opened, one in front and one behind, and they both saw green.
In this case, it was very likely that the jade contained inside was connected into a large piece. The quantity was very large, and the quality of the jade was very good. In this case, 20 million was too cheap!
Although they knew that Yu Mingdong was in the same line of business, those jade merchants couldn't help but offer a price, wanting to buy this material.
"Old Yu, you've gained enough today. Transfer this material to me! I won't let you suffer a loss. How about 30 million? "
"President Yu, I'll pay 32 million!"
"Thirty-four million!"
Yu Mingdong waved his hand proudly and said, "Everyone, my factory is still waiting for the rice to cook! This material is not for sale! "
Xia Ruofei opened his mouth, but he saw that Yu Mingdong had already asked the stonecutter to continue rubbing the stone, so he closed his mouth again.
The stonecutter was still rubbing the cut where the jade had just been opened. After all, there might be a lot of jade under the thin layer of stone. Therefore, the experienced stonecutter didn't need Yu Mingdong's instructions and chose this cautious method.
Everyone even held their breaths as they stared unblinkingly at the piece of material.
With the stonecutter's operation, the layer of stone at the cut was rubbed away little by little, and more and more jade was exposed.
If it was said that there was only a small opening just now, then these emerald green jadeites had gradually joined together to form a surface.
Now, those jade merchants were even more uneasy, because looking at the situation, they were really going for a large piece of complete jade.
The stonecutter turned off the power of the grinding machine. With this kind of continuous grinding, the grinding wheel would wear out very quickly, so he needed to change the grinding wheel.
At this time, those jade merchants took the opportunity to come closer to take a look, and they kept making sounds of envy and jealousy.
Xia Ruofei had already come to Yu Mingdong's side. Now that he saw that the jade merchants' attention was on the material, he immediately touched Yu Mingdong gently.
Yu Mingdong, who was full of joy, turned his head. Before he could speak, Xia Ruofei lowered his voice and said, "President Yu, if the price is right … Why don't you just sell this material?"
Yu Mingdong was stunned for a moment, then he quickly asked in a low voice, "Mr. Xia, is there a problem with this material?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "How do you want me to answer this question? I don't know anything about stone gambling at all! "
Yu Mingdong came back to his senses. Just now, he had miraculously opened a high-quality jade at the back of the window. He almost forgot that Xia Ruofei was a rookie, and he just blurted out the question of asking for advice.
After coming back to his senses, Yu Mingdong was about to tell Xia Ruofei that he didn't want to sell the half-clear jade stone, but Xia Ruofei added, "President Yu, although I'm a layman, I don't have a good feeling about this material. It's purely intuition! There's no basis for it … "
Xia Ruofei's words made Yu Mingdong tremble, because he felt that Xia Ruofei's luck was amazing today. With his experience, his intuition was often very accurate in this kind of situation.
This was the first time Yu Mingdong was shaken. He originally wanted to open it into a clear jade, and then transport it back to his factory for use.
Xia Ruofei's words made Yu Mingdong's thoughts waver.
Of course, there was another more important reason, which was that Yu Mingdong's company didn't have much liquid capital.
He had spent fifty million yuan to buy the jade from Xia Ruofei, and he had spent thirty to forty million yuan to buy the jade himself. This was almost all of his company's liquid capital.
In this case, once the price of jade fell or became unsaleable, the company would likely have a cash flow problem.
If he could sell this half-clear jade stone for money, then the money problem would be greatly alleviated.
In addition, his previous uncut stones had good quality jadeite. At the same time, he also bought two pieces of jadeite from Xia Ruofei. It could be said that his factory was not short of raw materials for the time being. This uncut stone could be sold.
Once this idea came into his mind, Yu Mingdong felt that he should trust Xia Ruofei's intuition more and more.
Finally, when the stone-cutter changed the grinding wheel and was about to continue grinding, Yu Mingdong waved his hand to stop him.
Then, Yu Mingdong muttered to himself for a moment, then said loudly, "Everyone, I just thought about it. My factory has enough raw materials for now, so it's not like I can't sell this jade …"
As soon as Yu Mingdong said this, the jade merchants' thoughts became active once again.
"Old Yu, you should have done this long ago!"
"Yeah! Even if you want to eat meat, you should at least let us have some soup, right? "
"That's right! You have no use for so much jade, and you even put a lot of money into it! "
Yu Mingdong smiled and said, "But … since it's already opened to this extent, then the price …"
"The price will naturally not be the same as before!"
"Everyone knows the rules!"
"Mr. Yu, don't say anything else. Forty-two million yuan! I want this jade! "
"Forty-three million yuan!"
"Forty-five million yuan!"
Without needing Yu Mingdong to say anything else, these experienced jade merchants took the initiative to start bidding.
Yu Mingdong looked at the jade with some reluctance, but his peers had already started bidding. If he changed his mind now, he would undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.
If this jade was opened according to everyone's predictions, it would be worth at least sixty to seventy million yuan. However, Yu Mingdong was a little superstitious about Xia Ruofei's luck today. Since Xia Ruofei didn't feel good about it, then he wouldn't argue about it anymore.
Fatty Luo couldn't help but join in the competition — — for businessmen, what was face? Everything was for profit.
"Forty-eight million yuan!" Fatty Luo raised the price by three million yuan in one breath. It looked like he was determined to win.
"Old Luo, you're such a big boss. Don't fight with us!" someone said unhappily.
Fatty Luo grinned and said, "It's a fair competition! Everyone here is much richer than me. Don't kill me with your flattery! "
"Hmph, forty-nine million yuan then!" The person who spoke just now couldn't help but raise the price by one million yuan.
Fatty Luo's luck wasn't very good today. He didn't get a lot of the jade he wanted. He also had a high demand for raw materials, so he was very covetous of this jade.
"Forty-nine million and five hundred thousand yuan!" Fatty Luo gritted his teeth and shouted.
"I'll round it up to fifty million yuan!" Another person shouted, "Director Yu, and everyone in the same trade, don't forget that this jade is almost half-bright. This price should be about right … Everyone, please be magnanimous. Our factory is also waiting for rice to enter the pot!"
Fatty Luo said, "Director Xue, who doesn't have good raw materials these days? Fifty-one million yuan! I'll treat it as making friends with Director Yu! "
This price was already very high. After all, half-bright jade still had its risks. If they lost the bet, its value could quickly decrease.
The jade merchants began to hesitate because they could see that Fatty Luo was very determined. If they continued to raise the price, they might not be able to buy this jade. Instead, they would benefit Yu Mingdong for no reason and also offend Fatty Luo.
Therefore, the momentum of the bidding suddenly stopped.
However, there were still people who didn't give up and continued to raise the price by several tens of thousands. However, Fatty Luo was determined to get this jade. In the end, he successfully won it at the price of fifty-three million yuan.
"Old Yu!" Fatty Luo happily rubbed his hands and said, "I'll transfer the money to you right now! Thank you for giving up your treasure! "
Yu Mingdong nodded slightly and said, "We're just helping each other out! I still have to thank Director Luo for taking care of my business! "
Everyone lifted the palanquin and made a deal. The little bit of unhappiness from before seemed to have disappeared like smoke in thin air.
Fatty Luo eagerly found the staff of the public auction organizer and signed the transfer agreement with them. After all, he didn't have any personal friendship with Yu Mingdong, so he couldn't trust each other like Xia Ruofei and Yu Mingdong did. Therefore, he was still more cautious.
After that, Fatty Luo straightforwardly transferred fifty-three million Huaxia dollars to Yu Mingdong's account and successfully completed the transaction.
Xia Ruofei watched coldly from the side. He had personally seen Fatty Luo "defeat the crowd" and finally win the raw stone that he thought was a hot potato.
