Chapter Eighty-Seven International Jewelry Exhibition (Five)

  From a distance, I took a look at the jade that had just been taken out of the jade machine, and it was roughly the same size as mine. Although the green color is not very dense, it has a faint light green tone, and it is pure and transparent, with a hint of refreshing beauty. No need to test, it's definitely top-quality ice-type jade.

  Glutinous rice and japonica rice are of the same type, but glutinous rice has more impurities than japonica rice, so there is a big difference in price.

  I thought I could win the bet with the ice jadeite in my hand, but unexpectedly, Qiaozi's jade identification expert next to him was even more powerful and selected a high-quality ice jadeite based on his years of experience in selecting stones.

  "Awesome!" Qu Wen wasn't praising Qiao Ziquan, but rather admiring the jade appraiser beside him. "The jade you've identified is indeed better than ours, and its value is also higher than ours."

  "Of course, anyone who isn't blind can see it, so you're admitting defeat."

  Qiaozi was overjoyed and laughed loudly. Fortunately, the company's chief appraiser was present today, otherwise this gamble would be hard to say. Winning the bet and earning five million is a good thing, but what's important is that I finally got my revenge. However, this can only be considered interest, after the exhibition ends, I must make Qu Wen pay a heavier price.

  "I'm not someone who can't afford to lose, but I never lose to trashy hands." Qu Wen rarely scolds people by name, but he can make you hear who he's talking about. Looking at the time on his phone, there were still fifteen minutes before the deadline for the gamble. Normally, if someone wanted to go pick another raw stone and completely solve it, they might not have made it in time.

  As victory was in sight, Qu Wen cursed louder and Qiaozi laughed more happily, at this time only the winner could laugh out loud.

  "You have fifteen minutes, I want to see how you can find a better rough stone again, and it must be completely solved to count. Don't rush, I'll sit here and wait for you slowly."

  Qu Wen didn't want to rush, but time wouldn't allow it. In over ten minutes, he had to choose a stone and then analyze it, which was almost an impossible task.

  In normal circumstances, Qu Wen had no chance of winning, and the vast majority of people present thought so.

  But they didn't know that Qu Wen hated it most when others called him a villain, yet he himself had a purely villainous heart.

  A person with the characteristics of being unreasonable, cunning, and treacherous is called a "刁民" (xiao min), or it can also refer to someone who is stubborn, ruthless, and unreasonable in their actions.

  Back to the original stone trading area, Qu Wen moved like the wind through each stall, and every time he arrived at a place, he just took a quick glance, and through the released spiritual awareness, he felt the spiritual energy condensing around him. According to his previous experience, in order to win the gamble, he must find an original stone with stronger spiritual energy than the ice jade-like Feicui.

  "He's looking for a raw gemstone? I've never seen anyone look for rocks like that."

  "Perhaps he's gone mad, 50 million is no small sum, this young man with the surname Qu will lose miserably today."

  "It's ridiculous, who can pull off such a big hat with such a small head. Young people are just showing off."

  The people who followed behind to watch the excitement suddenly said, I've never seen anyone find the original stone like this, not even using the basic methods of looking, touching and taking pictures, just a quick glance can tell what's inside.

  After turning halfway around, Qu Wen suddenly stopped in front of an inconspicuous woolen goods stall.

  "Huh? It seems like there's something..."

  As he walked into the booth, Qu Wen dug out a piece of raw jadeite from the stone, slightly larger than a basketball. From the outside, it should be a black sand skin material, no moss, no lines, no pine flowers, and the green characteristics are not obvious, but there is a very dense spiritual energy condensed.

  If there was enough time, Qu Wen would definitely sit down to appreciate and study the stone's characteristics. Unfortunately, with little time left, he couldn't afford to look closely, so he picked up the stone and asked the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this piece of jade?"

  The original stone of Quwen Xin Xuan is not very large in volume and its quality is not very good. It has been placed on the stall for half a day without anyone looking at it. The stall owner sees someone who wants to buy it, secretly rejoices in his heart, thinking that this kind of ordinary stone can be sold for a profit. He directly quotes a price: "200,000 yuan."

  The price of the raw stone is generally determined by its size and quality characteristics, the larger the volume and the better the quality, the more expensive it will be. For such a small piece of wool, if it were an ordinary day, he would slowly haggle with the boss, and finally get out for 5,000 or 6,000 yuan. Unfortunately, the time limit for the gamble is getting shorter and shorter, and he can't think too much about it. He picked up the raw stone and shouted to the person behind him: "Pay the money!" Then he rushed towards the stone splitting machine.

  Back to the cutting machine, half of the time had passed. Qu Ge didn't say much and directly placed the newly selected rough stone on the machine. Without observing or drawing a cutting line, he directly turned on the power supply and watched as the saw blade quickly cut through the rough stone.

  "Like this, they just went ahead and didn't even look at the stone road."

  "There's no way, with so little time, even choosing a stone is random and reckless, it seems he wants to rely on luck for the final gamble."

  Onlookers were chattering and speculating, none of them thought highly of Qu Wenxin's choice of this rough stone. Even Zhao Haifeng felt that Qu Wen was being a bit too hasty in his decision-making.

  Not to mention finding a better quality jadeite than Iceberg within such a short period of time, it's even questionable whether it can produce green at all; otherwise, wouldn't the lives of so many experts in the stone gambling world be in vain?

  Of course, it's not that no one has ever hit the jackpot, picking out decent jade rough stones at random, but the probability is too small, as small as winning the lottery. However, if you want to randomly pick out jade rough stones that can produce ice seedlings or above, there is only one possibility: a god is secretly helping you in the dark.

  He didn't care about the crowd at all, nor did he have time to care. Qu Wen focused on staring at the raw stone on the machine, and if he wasn't careful, he might hurt the jade inside.

  "With such a small piece of rough stone, you think you can win my top-grade ice-type jade? You really think you're the son of the Jade Emperor. Why don't you just prepare 5 million yuan and I'll take it to Macau for a good time." Qiao Ziquan stood aside with his hands on his hips, his face showing disdain as he sneered.

  After knowing how to operate the grinding machine, Qu Wen quickly got started. In front of the rapidly rotating saw blade, she constantly flipped the original stone, her focused expression just like an art master carving a extremely delicate handicraft.

  Soon, as the stone skin fell off piece by piece, the emerald green inside gradually appeared, and in the thick dust, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.

  "It's green, it's green, and there really is green! This young man with the surname Qu is not simple!"

  "If it wasn't for luck, then it wouldn't be something that can be said so simply. I've lived for more than half my life and have never seen anyone pick stones like this. This speed is simply too terrifying!"

  "But just having a green gem is useless, the key is its quality. It's only this small, and if it doesn't have full sun green or above, it will still lose."

  "I hope it's a quality above Muyang Green, to be honest, I'm more and more hoping that this young man with the surname Qu can win."

  In the midst of everyone's chatter, the jade on the grinding stone finally appeared completely, and as they gazed at the lush green color above, everyone simultaneously burst out in a chorus of astonishment.
