73: 0071 What a green scene!
Such a green!
Ye Qiu and Huo Qian started from a street-side stall, where Ye Qiu pointed, Huo Qian promptly paid.
In no time, nearly five million was squandered by the two, exchanged for a pile of stones.
Looking at the pile of stones before him, even Huo Qian was momentarily uncertain, feeling that they had acted impulsively, especially himself, buying so much in one go.
Could they all turn out green?
That would require incredibly good luck, to have each and every piece turn out green!
But the money was already spent, with no turning back, Huo Qian could only trust Ye Qiu completely.
He spent over three million, and Ye Qiu also put in all his worth, over a million.
Together, they managed nearly five million.
If these stones were all duds, then all the money would be as good as thrown away.
Huo Qian decided in his heart that if he went bankrupt in this gamble, he would take a three-month break from stone gambling.
The two men, carrying a bunch of stones, arrived at a stall, ready to cut the stones.
While they roamed the various stalls, buying aggressively, some people had already noticed these two odd fellows.
Seeing that the two wanted to spend money on cutting stone, the stall owner swiftly agreed, after all, this could also attract more customers to watch, which would generate extra income for his stall.
“Haha, young fellows, you two bought quite a lot of rough stone.” The stall owner was slightly surprised, looking at Ye Qiu and Huo Qian before him.
These two young men had bought so much rough stone, probably on a whim.
Moreover, most of these rough stones looked like waste, with some having too large margins that were indistinguishable, but the size seemed to also hold significant value.
A naive rich guy if ever there was one!
The stall owner’s eyes glittered with greed, for who wouldn’t like such deep-pocketed customers?
“Young fellows, take a look, I also have some top-quality rough materials here; consider it?” the stall owner asked, probing for an opportunity to make a sale.
Ye Qiu and Huo Qian shook their heads.
The two had hurriedly bought all the rough materials in the market that were believed to turn out green, even leaving some bystanders completely bewildered, barely believing these two impulsive buyers who just glanced at stones before buying, as if they had money to burn.
Ignoring the complex gazes of the crowd, the two spent all their money and then stopped.
As for those they hadn’t managed to buy, Ye Qiu wasn’t particularly regretful, as he still left some opportunities for others to find a bargain.
“Boss, cut it directly; we’ll talk about these stones here later,” Huo Qian urged, eager to see if these stones would all turn out green.
“Alright.” The stall owner didn’t dilly-dally and shouted out, grinding his knife eagerly at the raw stone.
“Boss, make two cuts, just directly down the width of a finger,” Ye Qiu said first, not letting the stall owner cut on his own.
The stall owner nodded and slowly made a cut.
“Hey, look, those are the two fools who just bought without bargaining, just grabbed and paid, thinking green is so easy to cut.
I want to see what kind of jadeite they can cut from their rough material,” someone recognized Ye Qiu and Huo Qian and immediately crowded around, ready to watch them become a laughing stock.
Smack!
Two cuts, one after the other, the trimmed edges fell to the ground, making a smacking sound.
The crowd’s gaze then fell on the raw stone that endured the two cuts.
“Quick look…”
“Green!”
“It really turned out green!”
The onlookers began to heat up with discussion; the very first stone had cut to reveal decently appearing green jadeite, marking a good start.
Huo Qian’s eyes flashed, and he couldn’t help but look towards Ye Qiu, “Brother Ye, how much did this stone cost?”
“500.” Ye Qiu stated simply.
Huo Qian’s eyes sparkled as he, although not good at evaluating stones, knew that this just-cut raw stone could now be valued several times higher.
“Now it could be sold for at least 5,000 to 10,000,” Huo Qian said, a bit excited.
He had rarely flipped his money so many times before in stone gambling.
“It turned out.” Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered, suggesting, and Huo Qian understood Ye Qiu’s idea.
He wanted to resell it immediately, and although he didn’t know what Ye Qiu was up to, he decided to gamble along with him.
Suddenly, Huo Qian started to set the price, and when the people around saw that the two young men were selling for not much, someone immediately bought it and paid by direct transfer.
After the first piece was sold, the two asked the stall owner to cut the second piece.
Ye Qiu was very composed.
Having verified with the first piece, he was fully confident that the uncut raw stones in front of him were definitely green.
Huo Qian, on the other hand, couldn’t be composed because the piece in front of him was quite expensive, costing a whopping five hundred thousand.
If this gamble fell through, it would really be money down the drain.
Even though he was wealthy, he couldn’t just throw away money like this.
The nearly forty-kilogram large raw stone was once again cut open in front of a crowd.
For this cut, Ye Qiu requested a straight cut at a specific corner he pointed out, and the blade went down.
Green again?
The crowd was once again stunned because the second piece, with the first cut, revealed green again.
Although it was just a shallow cut, the shade of the green suggested that its potential value could be very large.
If they continued cutting, it was very likely that imperial jade would appear.
“Is this piece for sale?” realizing the two might still want to sell, someone from the crowd immediately asked.
Huo Qian looked towards Ye Qiu, and after a brief exchange of glances, Huo Qian said, “Two million, that’s the final offer.”
“Okay, it’s a deal.” The person didn’t dawdle and settled it immediately.
In a blink of an eye, they had recovered over two million from an initial five hundred thousand, and Huo Qian’s confidence surged.
No longer anxious, he could now comfortably let the stall owner continue cutting. freeweɓnøvel.com
Green!
Another piece was cut, and it was green again!
Green!
Green!
Green!
They cut seven or eight pieces in a row, all of which were green, including one piece that contained a fist-sized imperial jade.
Instantly, this scene impacted the entire jadeite gambling market’s participants.
Because Ye Qiu and Huo Qian had consistently extracted over a dozen jadeite pieces with significant value—prices ranged from about one hundred thousand for the lowest to several million for the highest.
In less than half an hour, not only had they recouped their initial investment, but they also made an additional three million plus—and they still had half of the uncut stones yet to be sliced.
“My goodness, go and see, it’s incredibly lively over there.
Every piece they cut is green; it’s simply divine.”
“This is unprecedented in Lin Ping, who are these gemstone experts with such accurate judgment?” some people were very interested in Ye Qiu and Huo Qian’s sudden appearance.
A large crowd gathered around, forming layers both inside and out around Ye Qiu and Huo Qian, making it nearly impossible for them to leave.
“Green, green, green!”
As the crowd’s anticipatory eyes watched, many began shouting along, hoping the raw stones of the two men would continue to pop with green.
Swipe!
Another piece turned out green, and a burst of applause erupted from the crowd; they had never before witnessed anyone with such a profound ability to discern stone quality, seeing through the raw materials so thoroughly—it was almost terrifying.
At that moment, this place buzzed continuously with voices as jadeite appeared one after another.
It could be said, Ye Qiu and Huo Qian were making so much money that their hands were going numb, yet they persisted, their pockets having ballooned beyond five million and still earning more.
The two were overjoyed, while the stone-cutting stall owner showed a bitter expression, feeling that Ye Qiu and Huo Qian were using his effort, as his own stones hadn’t sold, but Ye Qiu and Huo Qian’s were selling much more.
Seeing Ye Qiu and Huo Qian continuously cut green, some people recognized that perhaps these two were truly exceptional.
In less than an hour, the two had sold out all the raw stones in front of them, collecting a total of fifteen million, earning a net ten million after deducting the initial capital.
The emergence of one green piece after another made it difficult for the onlookers to remain calm, especially as they saw the amount of money in the pockets of the two men continuously increase, many onlookers showed envious expressions, watching the two non-stop.
As they saw the two tidy up a bit and prepare to continue purchasing raw gemstones, many people followed.
Many were already convinced that once the two picked any stone, they would immediately snatch it up and pay, because it would definitely reveal green!
Watching the young figures of Ye Qiu and Huo Qian, many seasoned players in the stone-cutting field planned to trap the two men once, also hoping to make a sweet profit.
