Chapter 396 - A Surprising Bet! (3)
Everyone was stunned and speechless.
Young Master w.a.n.g was even more dumbfounded. He was stunned for a few seconds before he muttered, "Impossible… This is impossible…"
How was there any "imperial jade" in the raw stone?
It was just a worthless material with a small touch of rich green at the opening.
Young Master w.a.n.g"s hands trembled. He refused to believe that he had failed.
"Cut! Cut again! Continue cutting!"
It had to be cut until it turned green!
The stone cutting machine continued to operate. It cut this uncut stone into pieces from all angles.
The final conclusion was still: worthless tras.h.!.+
The most valuable part of the entire stone was that small green opening. It was less than an inch square and could only be sold for ten thousand dollars.
He had thrown away 4.99 million dollars in vain!
Young Master w.a.n.g"s face darkened as he interrogated the manager on duty. "Ask your boss to come out! What happened? Isn"t everything that we"ve opened worthless? The most capable person just returned his capital? Is your Zhuang family cheating us?"
The rich businessmen responded.
That"s right. There was actually no valuable material in this blind selection tonight.
Although Dige was an old stone gambling den, it couldn"t help but make them suspect that the boss had done something wrong and took out rubbish to cheat them.
The manager"s forehead was covered in sweat as he said carefully, "Guests, calm down. Isn"t there a young lady whose stone hasn"t been opened yet…"
"Pfft! Do you still need to see that piece of trash of hers?"
Everyone had just mocked her.
In the very next second, those mocking words were swallowed whole!
They saw that Gu Qiqi"s "leftover material" had finally been cut open by the appraiser and revealed its true appearance!
Their untrimmed quarry stones were all cut by machines. Only Gu Qiqi"s piece was personally grounded by a stonecutter. Furthermore, the closer he got to the jade, the more careful the stonecutter became.
As the transparent jade seed was gradually revealed, those who knew the trade knew at a glance that there was no need to cut this stone further!
With that transparency, the jade core could be seen clearly.
That was the transparency that only old gla.s.s species had!
What was rarer was that the core was actually a little red!
Although old gla.s.s species were rare, it was almost impossible to have red jade sandwiched between an old gla.s.s species!
The rich businessmen praised her.
"In my life, I"ve only seen an old gla.s.s jade like this in the Mu family. It"s said to be their family heirloom!"
"Just this grade of old gla.s.s pit jade is worth five million dollars. Coupled with the red jade… Is this going to cost tens of millions?"
"It seems that it"s not that the boss of the stone gambling den cheated us, but our luck really isn"t good. He did take out good jade, but we were blind and couldn"t recognize it…"
"Wait a minute. Did that young lady really choose such a valuable jade?"
Amidst the praise, everyone suddenly realized the crux of the problem.
This was jade that Gu Qiqi had opened.
It was the jade personally selected from that young lady whom they had been mocking with disdain, and vulgarly taking liberties with!
The rich businessmen"s expressions immediately turned ugly.
The woman whom they looked down on the most actually revealed a jade that could kill them all in seconds.
This slap to the face was too d*mned embarra.s.sing!
In particular, when the duty manager"s eyes lit up and he moved closer to Gu Qiqi, he nearly knelt down in front of her. "Madam, our boss said that this old gla.s.s jade is sandwiched between red jades. If you"re willing to give it up and sell it to us directly, we"ll exempt you from the five million dollars deposit stone fees and can even give you an additional five million dollars!"
Everyone drew a cold breath in unison. Was Dig gambling den admitting publicly that this stone was at least worth ten million dollars?!
Ten million dollars worth of jade!
D*mn it. This was simply a shocking gamble!
Where was the worthless material?
Where was that student who didn"t know anything?
Why wasn"t the script being followed?
Amidst everyone"s stunned gazes, Gu Qiqi shook her head lightly. "No, I"m not selling this stone."
What a joke!
She had found this old gla.s.s type red jade to end the engagement.
If she sold it to them, how was she going to end the engagement?
But…
