134 Aren’t the Materials Here? (3)
When the young shop a.s.sistant heard this, he was afraid that the big client in front of him would run away. He quickly said, “Sir, you’re really good at joking! Isn’t this how stone gambling is? The cheaper the stone, the harder it is to get a good package! However, I see that you have a n.o.ble expression. It’s very likely that you’ll get something good from the stone that you picked!”
The young man said auspicious words with all his might. He could not let a small business worth 50,000 yuan slip away for nothing!
Liu Yun looked disdainful and reluctantly took out his card to pay.
However, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, 50,000 yuan was more reasonable. Even if he lost money, it would not be a big loss.
Holding the raw stone in his hand, Liu Yun saw Ye Xuan walking over with Liu Yanran and the rest.
Liu Yun proudly waved the stone in his hand at Ye Xuan. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the shop a.s.sistant ask him, “Sir, do you want to open your raw stone?”
“Of course I want to open it! But wait a moment. My friend is also coming,” said Liu Yun without hesitation.
Ye Xuan and the others followed Liu Yun into the backyard of the shop.
There were a few cutting machines for guests.
Liu Yun raised his hand and beckoned the shop a.s.sistant over. He said to him, “Find me an experienced master to cut this for me!”
The young man replied enthusiastically, “Alright, don’t worry! There’s no one around now. I’ll get the most experienced master in our shop to cut it for you. How about that?”
With that, the young shop a.s.sistant ran to the back and called for his master. Zhao Yuan took the raw stone from Liu Yun and took out a strong flashlight that he carried casually. He shone it at a few spots on the raw stone and frowned. “Your raw stone doesn’t look like it has any light at all. It doesn’t look good!”
A few guests who were picking stones at the side heard Zhao Yuan’s words and spoke.
“The surface of your raw stone is too thick! I can tell that you’re a newbie. Otherwise, why would you pick such a stone?”
“That’s right. Look at this stone. It’s so dirty that it’s about to grow moss! It’s obvious that it’s been exposed to the sun and wind outside for a long time. The shop owner can’t be bothered to clean it up.”
“Sigh, young man, sometimes you have to pay a high price for stone gambling! You bought this stone for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, right? Looks like you’re going to waste it!”
Many people beside him were saying that it was not good. Liu Yun also became worried.
However, since he had already bought it, Liu Yun made up his mind and said to the old master who walked over, “Just watch and cut it for me. Whether it succeeds or not, it’s fine!”
The old master had been working in the shop for many years and had seen such a situation, where the customer gritted his teeth and spoke, countless times. He smiled and said, “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll definitely cut it well for you!”
Seeing that someone was about to cut the stone, the customers who had just spoken surrounded him, wanting to watch the show.
“Young man, where do you plan to cut it?” The old master wiped the raw stone clean and asked Liu Yun.
Liu Yun did not understand. He was still hesitating when the surrounding guests spoke bluntly.
“Haha, if you ask me, it must be cut in the middle! Look at your raw stone. It’s so ordinary!”
“That’s right! I wanted to say that too! If you cut it from the side, it would be a waste of other people’s skills and electricity fees!”
“Aiya, don’t say that! He’s a newbie, so he definitely won’t understand. Why should we break his fantasy? Hahaha!”
Previously, Liu Yun was still a little worried, but these people’s mocking words made him furious.
After all, Brother Ye had chosen it for him. It didn’t matter whether he was successful or not. It was his business. Did he need these people to talk nonsense?
After being provoked by these people, Liu Yun said to the old master, “Please cut it for me from the side! If it’s really a waste of your craftsmanship and electricity, I’ll pay for it myself!”
d.a.m.n it, who were they looking down on?!
He wasn’t short of money. At most, he would make up for it himself!
When the guests saw Liu Yun’s rich appearance, they simply snorted and stopped talking.
They did not leave. They just stood there, waiting to see Liu Yun embarra.s.s himself.
Liu Yun looked at Ye Xuan, who was beside him, and said angrily, “Brother Ye, don’t worry. I believe in your taste. There’s definitely nothing wrong with your choice!”
This was really infuriating. These people’s mouths were too cheap!
When the guests heard Liu Yun’s words, they looked at each other and burst into shocking laughter.
“Haha! I was wondering why he chose such a bad stone. It turns out that he listened to the little kid’s suggestion!”
“I heard in the past that when gamblers lose, it’s easy for them to find a random person to help them change their luck. I didn’t expect him to get a child to pray for luck as soon as he started buying!”
“I’m dying of laughter. What can a seven or eight-year-old child do? I think this young man is crazy!”
Just as they were mocking Liu Yun, the old master had already turned on the cutting machine.
The rumbling noise instantly drowned out their mockery.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the old master’s hands.
The old master was skilled. He found the most irregular stone surface and cut it.
With a loud noise, the stone was quickly cut open.
The old master caught it steadily and was simply stunned when he saw the purple color.
Everyone also widened their eyes in disbelief.
Such purple and watery jade was top-grade!
Those customers had long forgotten what they had just said. When they saw the top-grade item, their eyes were about to turn red.
Zhao Yuan and Liu Yanran were also stunned.
Zhao Yuan was so excited that his lips were trembling. He felt indescribable regret!
