Chapter 630: Chapter 657 Value (Part 1)
From the grading of ice-type jade, this piece is just below glass-type jade.
In the jade category, it is considered high-end with extremely high value.
Almost everyone present had seen a lot of jade before, but other than the store owner, this was the first time for everyone else to see such a large piece of high ice-type jade cut on the spot.
In their minds, they estimated it to be worth at least several million.
The store owner carefully cradled this piece of jade, muttering, "Almost reached glass-type, what a pity!"
"Otherwise, its value would more than tenfold."
At this moment, someone couldn’t help but ask, "So what’s its current value?"
After all, the store owner seemed very professional, and even if not, more professional than them...
The store owner glanced at the crowd who had just been mocking him, noticing they now acted like nothing happened before, and couldn’t help but retort,
"Didn’t you all just think this was a worthless stone?"
"..." Everyone was momentarily stunned.
No one mentioned it; naturally, they all pretended as if nothing happened before, but when someone brought it up, they couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.
However, everyone was a bit puzzled, "What does it matter to you what we think!"
"You’re just a stone cutter!!!"
"Besides, your expression just now was just like ours, you just didn’t say it out loud!"
Of course, these were just thoughts they wouldn’t say directly.
At this point, everyone suddenly noticed that from the beginning until now when the high ice-type was cut out, the person who had just bought the stone has remained exceptionally calm.
As if they had expected it, or simply didn’t care at all!
Anyway, they didn’t seem like an ordinary person.
Did he see it before?
Even the store owner holding the fist-sized jade suddenly thought so.
"Boss, how much is it worth?" This was asked by a customer who had been looking at the jade in the store, unable to resist asking.
The owner reluctantly handed it over to Lin Xi, saying, "At least 20 million!"
"That high?" someone couldn’t help but question.
Logically speaking, anything over 10 million is already incredible since it’s not glass-type.
Lin Xi, who had been very composed, also couldn’t help but be a little curious when hearing its value was 20 million.
He actually thought earlier that worth over a million was already remarkable.
Unexpectedly, this thing turned out to be so valuable.
The store owner, seeing everyone’s confusion, carefully explained.
He elaborated on the jade’s high price from its color, transparency, and structural differences, and that such a large piece is absolutely rare in the market, something hard to come by.
For ninety-nine percent of people, cutting out such a thing, they would definitely not sell it.
If they could find an artisan to craft a few exquisite small trinkets, wearing them or giving them as gifts, the style~~ would definitely be top-notch.
Simultaneously, the value would rise significantly.
After all, the market is flooded with counterfeits, and genuine ones are basically hard to come by!
Therefore, those not short on money really wouldn’t sell, even those who are, would find ways to enhance its value.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who had been browsing the store, dressed quite ordinarily, wearing glasses, and a bit plump, stepped forward to ask Lin Xi, "Young man, I’ll offer 28 million, will you sell it to me?"
Honestly, his offer astonished everyone, 28 million indeed.
PS: Thanks to "Night Thirteen" for the two rewards, totaling 688 book coins, thank you!
