Chapter 6
Open!
The five raw stones cost nearly 5 million Yuan, but the value of the Jade in the end was only a little more than 1 million Yuan. Pierre had never suffered such a big loss before. “Are you trying to trick me? I spent 2.03 million, and your shop only sold me this piece of trash!”
As the manager of the stone gambling company’s business, Charles had seen a lot of materials that were not to his liking at such a high price. So, Charles would never accept Pierre’s current look of pushing the blame to him, or it would affect the reputation of their jewelry store. So he replied with a fake smile, ” Mr. Pierre, please mind your words. Not to mention 2.03 million, even if it’s a stone worth tens of millions, there’s still a possibility of it being a waste. Of course, there are also tens of thousands of stones that are worth millions. Isn’t this the charm of stone gambling?”
Everyone knew the risks of stone gambling, and naturally knew that Pierre was unwilling to give up and wanted to cause trouble, but since it was a gamble, there must be wins and losses. If there was a definite win, then it was not called a gamble!
“Pierre, the skin of this raw material is indeed the best in this batch, and the result is the same. It’s old enough and green enough, but no one thought that the Jade part was so little.”
The person speaking was a man in his sixties. His hair was a little white and he looked serious. He was George, one of the leading figures in the local jade industry.
Even George had spoken, and Pierre knew the rules of stone gambling, so he didn’t dare to make trouble again.
At this moment, the sound of the angle grinders could be heard once again.
Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to the machine. When they saw Vivian waiting by the machine, they remembered that there was a bet today! Although they were not optimistic about Vivian’s choice of raw stones, everyone still gathered around.
The first three raw stones that Vivian had cut out were all scraps and waste. When it came to the fourth raw stone, there was finally a glimmer of hope. It was a glass-type raw stone with no cracks. This was the best-looking raw stone that everyone had.
The last 800 Yuan raw stone was automatically ignored by everyone. If not for the bet, everyone would have left a long time ago.
When it came to the last raw stone, Vivian could not help but feel a little nervous. Soon, the first cross-section was cut out. When the old master wiped it with a wet soft cotton cloth and put it in front of everyone, everyone was still in disbelief and shock.
“Quick, hit me.”
“I wanted to get someone to hit me, this piece of… 800 Yuan stones got you a solid glass-type Imperial Green Jadeite!”
“Today’s really too magical. This trip wasn’t in vain!”
Someone in the crowd immediately thought of today’s bet and whispered excitedly, “Then we’ll have enough money to buy the raw stones today!”
The discussion was endless. Pierre stared at the glass type of Imperial Green Jadeite anxiously thinking about how to turn the situation around.
As usual, the old master asked cautiously, “Miss, are we still going to do the second cut? ”
Pierre came back to his senses when he heard this. Wasn’t this the best chance for him to make a comeback? If the second cut was also wasted, then wouldn’t the remaining jade stones be enough to beat the other party?
Therefore, Pierre replied firmly, “Open! I’ve already made a second cut, so she has to cut hers too! Otherwise, it’s not fair!”
Vivian’s heart was settled the moment she saw the result. This showed that her golden finger was indeed accurate. Since Pierre wanted to die, she would certainly let him!
Vivian smiled nonchalantly. “Go ahead. I have a feeling that I’m particularly lucky today!”
In fact, even if Vivian had chosen not to cut it, the players present would not have thought that Vivian had won unscrupulously. It was Pierre’s overconfidence in his raw stone that made him open it a second time. In the end, it was his own choice. As the saying goes, if you are willing to bet, you must admit defeat.
Therefore, when Pierre said that, everyone felt that he couldn’t afford to lose, and it also highlighted Vivian’s straightforward character.
When the second cut was made, many people were worried for Vivian.
The second cut was still a perfect Jade cut!
“Oh my God! This piece of stone cost less than 50 million, people won’t even pay attention to it!”
“This size! This quality! It’s really more priceless the more you cut it!”
