Dong Xuebing chanted "BACK" six times, and every time he chanted it, a shadow flashed by.
The first shadow was the fat boss cutting the stone. It was 60 seconds ago.
The second shadow was the fat boss talking to Dong Xuebing. It was 120 seconds ago.
The third shadow was the fat boss touching the stone. It was 180 seconds ago.
… …
Dong Xuebing's body and eyes were not used to the sudden changes. He felt dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, the surroundings had returned to normal. Dong Xuebing felt like he had just come down from a roller coaster. He quickly grabbed the corner of the counter. A drop of sweat flowed down his forehead.
"Oh, are you alright?" The fat boss behind the counter asked. "What's wrong?"
Dong Xuebing blinked his eyes. "I'm fine. Errr … where did I stop?"
"Where was I?" The fat boss looked at Dong Xuebing weirdly and pointed to the few crystals on the floor. "You said you want these two amethysts, that yellow crystal, this colorless crystal, and this pink crystal." He raised his calculator and pointed at the numbers. "I have calculated for you. The total is 162,000 RMB. If you want everything, I will round it up to 160,000 RMB."
What the hell! Dong Xuebing could feel his blood rushing to his head!
Hahahahaha! It really went back 6 minutes!
Done! It's done!
Dong Xuebing was so excited that he had forgotten about stone gambling.
The fat boss saw Dong Xuebing laughing and felt a chill down his spine. Is this person crazy? The fat boss subconsciously took a step back and reminded Dong Xuebing. "Are you in a hurry? You want all 5 stones? Then I will help you cut the stones now. "
"No … …" Dong Xuebing pulled his attention back. "Anyway, it is too late, and I am not in a hurry to go back. You can take your time to cut the stone. Try to make it as fine as possible." Dong Xuebing looked at the pile of stones on the floor and saw the last stone that Back's boss had cut open. He said. "The 5 stones I mentioned earlier are too expensive. I don't want them first. Oh, that stone that is smaller than a soccer ball. How much is it?"
The fat boss looked at the stone and said. "This … … 20,000 RMB."
"20,000?!" Dong Xuebing was stunned and cursed in his heart. When he used BACK earlier, he had said 50,000 RMB. He must have seen Dong Xuebing was in a hurry to bargain, and that's why he quoted such a high price. "There is no window for this, right? Twenty thousand yuan is too expensive. "
The fat boss shook his head and said, "The quantity is there."
He walked over and squatted down to pick up the stone. He looked at it from top to bottom and pointed to the left side of the stone. "There are cracks on this side, and the cracks are quite deep. This side of the stone should not be used. We should reduce its weight by at least half."
The fat boss also knew that this gray raw crystal was not good. He thought for a while and said, "18,000. I can't go any lower."
Dong Xuebing took out some money and passed it to him. "Start with the good side first."
The fat boss agreed, moved the stone to the corner and squatted down. Looking at the deep crack on the side, he knew that there was nothing good in this stone, so he didn't take it seriously. He casually picked up the cutter, opened it, and pressed it down on the uncracked side of the raw crystal stone.
One cut … … two cuts … … three cuts … … a small cut appeared on the surface of the stone.
Five cuts … … six cuts … … seven cuts … … the cut became bigger, and it became a thumb-sized window. Dong Xuebing could see through it!
Dong Xuebing got excited and walked over. He did not see it with his own eyes a few minutes ago, and he was feeling nervous. There must be some strands of hair inside!
The fat boss used his thumb to wipe off the dust on the cut surface and looked down. The next moment, he was stunned.
The crystal was a colorless crystal. It was clear and transparent. Deep inside the crystal, there were many strands of silver hair. They were twisting, twisting, and spiraling. It was a beautiful sight!
"This is … …" The fat boss exclaimed. "Hair crystal! Silver Hair Crystal! "
Dong Xuebing hit his left palm with his right hand. It's out! It's really out!
The fat boss unbelievably picked up a flashlight and shone it into the cutting surface. It was impossible. How could there be such a good raw stone in this batch of broken materials? This young man was too lucky. He had only bought one stone and got such a good stone. Damn it! I should have opened a window before I sell this stone! That way, no one else will get it!
Maybe two middle-aged men heard Dong Xuebing's voice, and they walked into the shop.
"Silver Hair Crystal? You got it from stone gambling? Let me see! "One of the middle-aged men with small eyes took the flashlight from Dong Xuebing.
The other middle-aged man asked Dong Xuebing. "You are lucky. How much did you bet?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "18,000 RMB."
"Haha, then you will earn a lot."
That middle-aged man looked at the stone and nodded to his companion. He looked at Dong Xuebing and asked. "Are you selling this stone?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "It depends on the price."
"Ok. How about 80,000 RMB?"
Dong Xuebing shook his head.
"90,000 RMB?"
Dong Xuebing still shook his head.
The middle-aged man smiled. "90,000 RMB is the most I can offer. Young man, you should consider it. This stone is not fully opened, and there might be any risks. Look, there is a crack on the other side of the stone. If the crack extends into the stone and brings in some dirt, then there will be lesser materials left. It will not be a big ornament. At most, it will be a Guanyin statue."
Dong Xuebing smiled and turned to the fat boss. "Boss, let's continue. This time, we will clean that crack."
The fat boss did not move. "Young man, I also suggest you sell this stone. If the crack is too deep, it will not be worth so much. 90,000 RMB is a good price."
Dong Xuebing had seen the fat boss cut open the cracked side of the stone. Although he did not see the silver inside, he could see the surface of the stone clearly. That's why he did not hesitate. "Just open it."
The fat boss did not try to persuade Dong Xuebing. He picked up the cutting machine and pressed it on the stone.
Screech! Screech!
It was just one cut, but the scene reflected on the raw stone shocked the people in the room. The crack, which was almost as long as a little finger, was missing — it was wiped away by the cutter!
The fat boss was stunned. He immediately slashed again, and another three millimeter crack disappeared!
Another cut! The fourth cut!
All the cracks had disappeared, and the smooth, colorless crystalline material was revealed!
There were no cracks in the stone! It was just the surface impurities!
The middle-aged man and his partner looked at each other and took a deep breath. If there were no cracks, then the raw material would be much better. Ornament for Guanyin? No. From the size, weight, and shape of this stone, it should be enough to make a 20 cm diameter crystal ball!
The fat boss looked at Dong Xuebing and thought to himself that this person was lucky. "Our shop will buy this stone. Name your price!"
The middle-aged man heard Dong Xuebing and quickly said: "Young man, I will give you a suitable price. I am sure you will be satisfied. Don't sell it to others. Come, let's go out and discuss the price!"
Silver crystal balls were rare in auctions, and the fat boss also wanted it. "How about 200,000 RMB?"
Dong Xuebing did not say anything.
The middle-aged man frowned: "210,000!"
The fat boss gritted his teeth: "220,000!"
The middle-aged man replied without hesitation: "230,000!"
The fat boss kept quiet and shook his head helplessly.
"If I don't want to collect this crystal ball, I will not offer such a high price." The middle-aged man said to Dong Xuebing: "How about 230,000?"
Dong Xuebing hesitated for a while and shook the man's hand. "Deal."
The middle-aged man laughed: "Good. I don't have so much cash on me. How about a cheque?"
Dong Xuebing does not know how to use cheques. Furthermore, he does not even know if a cheque was real or fake. He hesitated for a while and said: "Let's go to the bank together."
The middle-aged man could tell Dong Xuebing was worried and nodded: "Ok. You can pass me the crystal ball after the cheque is credited. Let's go."
Panjiayuan, Industrial and Commercial Bank.
After the cheque was credited into his account, Dong Xuebing checked the balance of his account and passed the crystal ball to them. After the two men left, Dong Xuebing did not leave immediately. He deposited the rest of his money into his account. In the end, Dong Xuebing looked at the 440,000 RMB in his account and took a deep breath. He was overjoyed!
I made money! I am getting closer to my target of 1 million RMB!
Most importantly … … BACK had made a breakthrough discovery!!
If Dong Xuebing could accumulate BACK every day and use it at the crucial moment, then he would have more time!
Promotion? Make money? Get a wife?
Will these be far away?
