43: Chapter 43 This face slapping is loud 43: Chapter 43 This face slapping is loud Gong Mingyu couldn’t help but mock as he looked at the three rough stones Zhou Wenfeng had chosen, “I say, Young Master Zhou, even if you gave me money, there’s no need to go this far, right?
Are you sure these are rough stones, and not something you picked up from the street side?”
Zhou Wenfeng’s face turned a shade redder, but he still retorted, “Hmph, Young Master Gong, whether or not we can cut out any green will have to be seen during the stone cutting.
Have you forgotten the incident at the common stone yard just now?”
“You!
Fine, just you wait.”
Gong Mingyu looked extremely confident, and couldn’t wait to send the three rough stones up.
“How should we cut?” asked the stone-cutting master.
“Cut through the middle!”
Half an hour had passed, and the stone-cutting master had finished cutting all three rough stones.
This time, Gong Mingyu was quite lucky; two of the stones revealed green, although it was only ordinary jade green.
Nevertheless, it was quite impressive since not many people could have two out of three stones come out green.
It was Zhou Wenfeng’s turn to hand over his rough stones.
Even the stone-cutting master shook his head and asked somewhat helplessly as he looked at the three rough stones, “How should we cut?”
“How to cut?
Is there even a need to cut?
These three pieces of stone material have no luster on their surface and not a hint of green.
They’re ugly and small.
Zhou Wenfeng, are you wasting the master’s time?”
Zhou Wenfeng hadn’t spoken yet when Gong Mingyu mocked from the side.
“If stone gambling were only about appearances, then there would be no fun.
A mature stone gambler would never say such technically ignorant things.”
Qin Han’s face was as calm as an ancient well, not the slightest bit angry at Gong Mingyu’s mockery, and he continued to instruct the stone-cutting master, “Master, please bear with me.
For the first stone, cut in this direction; for the second, cut through the middle; and for the third, just scrape it!”
While speaking, he marked the cutting lines with a pen.
“Alright!” After the stone-cutting master acknowledged, he began to prepare for the cutting.
For the first stone, following the lines drawn by Qin Han, the stone was cut to a third of its depth when the crowd of onlookers burst into a cheer, “There’s green!
There’s green!”
When the entire stone was fully cut, even the stone-cutting master was amazed.
People moved forward a few steps, eager to get a closer look at the quality of the jade.
What met their eyes was a rich, green color that had a hint of yellow from afar, like an unripe green apple.
But the hue was subtle yet unmistakable, similar to the color of green apples or the green of seedlings in a field.
“Apple green!
It’s actually apple green!
Such a large piece of apple green!”
“My God, it’s been years since apple green has been found.”
“The young man really has a good eye!”
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Gong Mingyu’s face grew uglier by the second, while Zhou Wenfeng was the very picture of excitement, his complexion even turning a bit flushed.
Jade merchants had already started approaching Zhou Wenfeng.
“Young Master Zhou, we at Ding Sheng Jade will take this rough stone for ten million!”
“Humph, you think you can get apple green for just ten million?
You Ding Sheng folks are really stingy.
Young Master Zhou, I’m the manager of Hua Yi Jade.
Twenty million!”
In the end, the piece of apple green was bought by Hua Yi Jade for twenty million.
Zhou Wenfeng excitedly hugged Qin Han, “Brother Qin, you are really amazing.
Twenty million!
Twenty million!”
“Cough cough!
Let…
let go.”
“Ah, I got too excited, sorry, Brother Qin!”
“Aren’t you going to give the master a reward?”
Reminded by Qin Han, Zhou Wenfeng then realized, took out a hefty sum of cash, and stuffed it into the stone-cutting master’s hands, repeatedly saying, “Thank you, it was hard work!”
Seeing this young man was quite generous, the stone-cutting master nodded at Qin Han in acknowledgment.
“Damn lucky!” Gong Mingyu said resentfully.
His three rough stones produced two worth a total of about thirty million.
If the remaining two didn’t produce green, he could still win against Zhou Wenfeng.
The cutting of the second stone began.
With the first stone’s stunning reveal and the reward given, even the stone-cutting master’s expression became more serious than before.
“Green again!
It’s green again!” Qin Han was sitting there with his eyes closed, sipping tea.
Hearing that green had been found, he showed no excitement as if from the very beginning he knew for certain that green would appear.
It was a vibrant green with yellow, but this yellow was bright and full of life, similar to the color of sunshine.
“Imperial Green!
My God!”
“It’s really Imperial Green!”
Zhou Wenfeng’s second piece of stone actually revealed Imperial Green!
“Holy shit!
Imperial Green, Qin bro!
This is freaking unbelievable…” Zhou Wenfeng had started to become incoherent.
“Calm down, calm down, others are watching,” Qin Han said with a smile.
“Right, right, stay calm, stay calm!” After saying that, Zhou Wenfeng regained a calm expression on his face, but the flush on his cheeks betrayed how excited he really was.
“Mr.
Zhou, fifty million, we’ll take it for Hua Yi Jade and Gemstones!”
“Step aside, sixty million, Ding Sheng Jade and Gemstones takes it!”
Though the piece of Imperial Green wasn’t large, processed properly, its price could easily sell for at least eighty million.
The two jade companies were again competing over the price.
In the end, it sold for seventy million!
“Damn it!” Gong Mingyu, seeing that the second piece also yielded Imperial Green, cursed loudly, flung his sleeve, and was about to leave.
“Young Master Gong, isn’t it a bit early to leave now?
As the proud heir of the Gong family, surely you’re not lacking in such magnanimity, are you?”
Zhou Wenfeng quickly spoke to ‘retain’ Gong Mingyu upon seeing him about to leave.
Because of Zhou Wenfeng’s words, everyone turned their heads to look at Gong Mingyu who was about to leave.
His face turned red, and he huffed, “Hmph, who said I’m leaving?
I’m just thirsty and wanted to get a drink of water, that’s all.
Then I’ll wait for you to finish cutting the third piece before we talk.
I don’t believe you can reveal any more green!”
After speaking, Gong Mingyu stopped, stood still, and quietly watched the direction of the stone cutting.
The third piece of stone was only as big as a baby’s fist.
The stone cutter, following Qin Han’s instructions, began to gently wipe it.
After just a few wipes, the stone cutter stopped, rubbed his eyes, and looked closely at the stone in his hand.
The onlookers, after seeing the stone cutter pick up the stone, noticed a touch of green revealed where he had just wiped, a green so vibrant and luminous, it seemed to glisten as if slick with oil.
“Could it be Imperial Green?”
“With such a rich color, could it really be Imperial Green?”
The stone cutter looked at Qin Han, who, unperturbed, said, “Please continue the good work, master!”
The stone cutter took off his gloves, wiped the sweat from his palms, put on a new pair, and started wiping again.
After a long time, he had finished wiping the entire stone.
The stone cutter exhaled deeply, his face now covered in sweat.
“Could it not be?”
“Humph, do you think Imperial Green is that easy to come by?
Naive!” Gong Mingyu snorted coldly.
The stone cutter lifted the jade in his hands, stepped out from under the machine’s hood, and a dazzling emerald light burst forth, immersing the entire stone yard in a blanket of green.
“Imperial!
Green!” The stone cutter said emphatically, then respectfully handed the jade over to Qin Han.
“Imperial Green?
Holy shit!”
“Is it really Imperial Green?
Shengli Stone Yard has only seen the first Imperial Green from its opening till today!”
“Imperial…
Green?
This son of a bitch is that lucky?” Gong Mingyu also froze in place, murmuring to himself.
“Hahaha, Qin bro, you really are my blood brother, freaking awesome!” Zhou Wenfeng was beyond description with excitement; he was nearly frenzied.
This is jade gambling!
“Qin bro, you’re too amazing.
Just like that, today you’ve made at least two hundred million!”
