care of the students in Class 2-5"I..."Chang Hao opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. He was filled with grievances, but had nowhere to vent them.Blame can only be placed on himself. In an attem...After he finished speaking, two staff members immediately came over and carried the stone to the scale to begin weighing it.
At the original stone exhibition, some stones with particularly good appearances will be priced for sale, such as the king of labels and the one just selected by Luo Wentao.
Most stones are not priced and customers buy them by weight, which is then calculated to determine the price.
Soon, two staff members gave out quotes, and the stone Ye Bufan chose was valued at 2,000 yuan.
This is no wonder, the stones he chose were originally used to make up the numbers. The price per kilogram was also the lowest one, and besides being only slightly larger than a basketball, the price wouldn't be too high naturally.
Upon hearing this price, the people around burst into laughter.
Luo Wentou said proudly: "2,000 yuan, you actually compared me with such a stone Do you know the value of this stone I chose This is a jade rough stone priced at 20 million yuan. How can you compare with me"
Ye Bufan said calmly: "Gambling stones is about who can figure out the value of jade, not who pays more for it."
Luo Wentou said, "Let's make it clear, what we're ultimately comparing is whose jadeite is more valuable after being carved, not who makes a bigger profit from the gamble."
He said this to be prepared, in case Ye Bufan's stone revealed a piece of jade worth four or five thousand yuan. That would mean he had doubled his bet. If he didn't make it clear beforehand, he would be at a loss later.
Qin ChuChu frowned. Luo WenTao's stone was worth 20 million, using a 20 million yuan raw stone to compare with 20,000 yuan was unfair, but the stone was chosen by Ye Bufan himself, she had no way.
Ye Bufan said, "No problem, let's start unboxing."
"Ye, you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin."
Luo Wentuo said, waving his hand at the people beside him, "Get this stone of mine removed and let some people open their eyes."
In his view, he was sure to win this gamble. Given the quality of this stone, the jade it yielded could be larger than the rough stone Ye Bufan had chosen.
The staff nearby were well-prepared. Upon hearing the command, they immediately moved the huge stone onto the cutting machine, and then several gem cutters got to work.
"Hu... hu... hu..."
The saw blade of the stone cutting machine rubbed constantly against the raw stone, producing a piercing screech. However, to the ears of those who loved gambling on stones, this sound was like beautiful music.
Everyone stared intently at the stone, their eyes fixed on it, hoping to see the jade emerge.
Time passed by minute by minute, a full 10 minutes had gone by. Several master stonemasons were sweating profusely, but there was still no sign of jade emerging.
Lu Wen Tao gradually lost his previous composure. He frowned and said to Jie Shi, his master: "Let's cut it open from the middle first."
Generally speaking, for very valuable jadeite rough stones, the cutting method used is to first polish the stone and wait until the jade emerges before determining the next step in the stone-cutting direction.
But Luo Wentao couldn't wait any longer now, so he directly asked Master Jie Shi to cut it open from the middle.
This way of splitting the stone was simple and rough, and it was much faster. When the giant rock split in half, everyone sighed in amazement.
This stone, worth 20 million yuan, actually contained only a white mist inside. Not to mention figuring out the jade, there wasn't even a hint of green.
"This..."
Luo Wentao was a little dumbfounded, then he waved his hand at Master Jie Shi: "Cut me another one."
Several stone-carving masters worked together, using seven or eight hands to split the original stone from two pieces into four, then four into eight, and so on until it was cut into dozens of pieces. They still hadn't seen any sign of jade.
"It's over, it's completely ruined!"
"It's really a heaven and hell in one move, it's so terrible. 20 million yuan and not even a piece of jade was successfully carved..."
"What kind of luck does Young Master Luo have Such a large piece of jade, and not even a single bit of jade..."
In a wave of sighs, Luo Wentao's face shifted from its initial smugness to a gloomy pall.
He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Such a good piece of rough stone, he almost chose it to be the highlight of the entire exhibition. How could it turn out to be without any jade This just didn't make sense!
But the fact is right in front of him, he can't help but admit it.
Looking at the rubble on the ground, Ye Bufan smiled and said, "Young Master Luo, how is it Are you going to admit defeat"
Lu Wen Tao said: "Why should I concede Even though this stone crumbled, yours is probably not much better. At most, it's a draw."
Indeed, although he hadn't been able to decipher anything from his own stone, he didn't believe that the other, quantity-filled stone would be able to solve the jade puzzle either.
"I've always been lucky, I'm afraid I'll disappoint Young Master Luo." Ye Bufan said to these stone-cutting masters, "Cut open this stone for me, but use rubbing, don't cut it randomly."
Several stone masters immediately showed disdain. With such a lousy stone, you can't see anything even after cutting it, and they still want to rub it.
But since they had been asked, they had no choice but to comply. So they moved the stone onto the whetstone grinder and began rubbing it little by little.
"This young man is quite interesting, even rubbing this piece of stone. I don't believe it will turn into jade..."
"That's right, Luo Dashao just now didn't get any jade from a 20 million yuan rough stone. What could be anything special about this 2 thousand yuan piece"
The onlookers discussed amongst themselves, none of them were optimistic about Ye Bufan.
Just then, someone suddenly screamed: “Look! It’s green! This stone has turned green!”
With that shout, Master Jie Shi also stopped his movements. He picked up a basin of water and poured it over the jade rough stone. As he wiped away the dust, a window revealed itself, shining with a rich green color. It had actually turned green.
"My goodness, this kid is so lucky! A piece of broken rock actually contains jade."
"Look at this green, it's still ice type, this kid really made a profit..."
Lu Wentao's expression grew increasingly grim after seeing the hint of green. As long as Ye Bufan could decipher even a little bit of jade, it would mean he had lost this gamble.
The bodyguard leader beside him saw his master's displeasure and stepped forward, saying: "Master, this is just an accident. Perhaps there's only this much jade inside that stone..."
He originally intended to comfort Luo Wentuo's injured heart, but before he could finish his words, several stone-cutting masters successively scraped out several windows, each window was lush with greenery.
"My goodness, this piece of jade is completely emerald green..."
"How much would such a large piece of jade be worth It's even ice type..."
"The most crucial point is that they only spent 2,000 yuan, which is a truly risk-free and highly profitable investment."
Seeing that Ye Bufan's stone was entirely jade, the bodyguard leader's jaw dropped open, unable to utter a word, just standing there dumbfounded.
"Soon several jade masters polished the whole piece of jade. As everyone expected, it was a fully green jadeite with high quality and icy texture."
Generally, jade is prized for its green color. It can be roughly divided into four grades: bean type, glutinous type, ice type, and glass type.
Although ice type jade is not the most expensive kind, such a large piece of green jade is still worth at least millions, and could even reach tens of millions.out.However, due to the other party's status, he still accepted it."Thank you, Mr. Ye."Of course, Ye Bufan saw the distrust in his eyes, but he didn't say much. He could only do so much. If the other...
