Chapter 88 International Jewelry Exhibition (6)

  "It's green to this extent, it can't be imperial green!"

  The crowd burst into an exclamation, as Qu Wen had only cut off the outer and middle layers of stone skin, leaving a thin layer of stone skin wrapped around the inside. From the skylight at the top, it should be a whole piece of bright green jadeite. Under the bright light, it emits a fascinating green color. The only drawback is that it's a bit small, about the size of a fist, but it can still be made into a pair of small bangles and several ring-shaped pendants.

  Also surprisingly, the technique of Quwen Jieshi looks like it's rough and lawless, with extremely fast rotation of the original stone, but in the end, only a small point of green is revealed. However, everyone can clearly see the quality of the jade inside from here.

  "Masterpiece!" Someone also exclaimed at Qu Wen's extraordinary skill with his hands.

  To remove the stone without damaging the jade as much as possible at such a high speed, it usually takes decades of experience as a master craftsman. Otherwise, if you're not careful, damaging the jade inside the original stone is a minor issue, but with the speed of an electric saw, you can cut off your entire hand in an instant.

  Without coming to a sudden response to the crowd, Qu Wen followed the method of the staff at the previous meeting and quickly polished the innermost layer of stone skin with a piece of sandpaper. His serious expression was as if he had completely merged into it.

  Whispered discussions ensued, and it was unclear who started quietly helping to count down the time, but soon a large crowd of people surrounding them also began to follow suit.

  "60 seconds, 59 seconds, 58 seconds, 57 seconds... 9 seconds, 8 seconds, 7 seconds, 6 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2..."

  When the crowd had thinned to two, Qu Wen finally stopped, holding in his hand a green jade that made one's heart move, its translucent green like tender shoots of grass born under sunlight.

  "How come you're not late!?"

  "Not bad, not bad, just right!" Zhao Haifeng's forehead was dripping with sweat, his heart racing non-stop, and Qu Wen felt like he had just gotten off a roller coaster. "Awesome, I think I'll put your picture on my family's ancestral altar, it's more effective than worshiping Buddha."

  "Get out, get out, get out! You're the one who's been served! Look at this jade, can I win or not?" Qu Wen glared angrily at Zhao Haifeng, then handed him the jade he had just solved.

  Zhao Haifeng took the jade and thought for a moment: "It's possible, 100% possible. What is his, is a light green ice species, but what we have here is a dark green ice species. If the water quality were even better, it would be glass species, emperor green!"

  Qu Wen heard some disappointment: "How can it still be so green and yet be an ice type."

  Zhao Haifeng smiled and said, "Ice species is just a general term, in fact, ice species are divided into many varieties. As the saying goes, outsiders look at color, insiders look at variety. The variety of jadeite refers to its inherent beauty, good jadeite should be fine and flawless, with high transparency, even sticky, shiny, and rigid. The color of jadeite is like a beautiful person's perfect skin, it doesn't need makeup, no matter how you look at it, it's beautiful. Therefore, a good piece of jadeite must have both, and the same variety of jadeite can be further divided into many varieties. This jadeite, naturally, values green as beauty, values jade as beauty, the more green and transparent it is, the higher its value."

  These theoretical things, Quwen still understands, it's just that he can't bear it, the rare and precious green jadeite is only a little short of water, and in the end, it fails to reach the top grade glass species.

  He immediately took back the full Yang green jade that had just been solved and asked Qiao Ziquan, "How about it? Can this piece win your 50 million?"

  Qiaozi stood there in a daze, and even if he split his head open, he couldn't have thought that Quwen could find an original stone material with top-quality jadeite in such a short time, and also unlock the original stone at a flying speed.

  He felt like he was dreaming, and when Qu Wen had just deciphered the jade, he told himself the same thing.

  The fact is in front of him, looking at the enviable jade in Qu Wen's hand, Qiaozi knew he had lost again!

  The high and mighty rich second generation unexpectedly lost to a small company's salesperson twice in a row.

  "Take it away!"

  This time, Qiaozi directly wrote a check for 5 million and threw it over, if he stayed here for another minute, ten thousand more of his cells would die.

  "Thanks, next time you want to gamble remember to find me." Qu Wen took the check and carefully confirmed it, then smiled and waved goodbye as Qiaozi left.

  As soon as Qiaozi walked away, the crowd of onlookers took another step closer, surrounding Qu Wen and his two companions in a small circle, with three layers inside and three layers outside, completely sealing them off.

  "Mr. Qu, can you sell me this green jade for 3 million?" Many people in the auction house now knew that the young man who had been creating surprises was surnamed Qu.

  "Three million and you want to buy it? Mr. Qu, I'll give you three million five hundred thousand!"

  "I'm out 38 million!"

  "I'm out 400!"

  “……”

  "I'll give you 50 million!"

  In just two minutes, the price of the emerald in Qu Wen's hand was raised to 5 million.

  The boat clings tightly to the vast expanse of green jade, wanting to cry but having no tears.

  Don't be so seductive, I clearly know that I, this young man, love money the most!

  "I'm out 6 million!"

  Just as Qu Wen was considering whether or not to sell, another new price was called out, instantly increasing by one million.

  Actually, the emerald in Qu Wen's hand, although the green color is sufficient, but after all, it is not a glass species. At 5 million, the profit has already become very thin, and at 6 million, there is almost no profit to be made.

  "Kid, six million is already a high price. Even if you search all over Hong Kong, I'm afraid there won't be many people willing to pay this price."

  The tune ended without an answer, and the voice rose again from the crowd.

  This time, the source of the sound was finally found to be a thin old man with a height of only about 1.5 meters, wearing a dark suit and looking very serious, standing in the crowd, his body was almost invisible.

  Everyone also heard the sound and looked back, seeing the old man, they all respectfully called out: "Mr. He."

  Because Hong Kong's local language is Cantonese, in Cantonese "sang" means "mister". Later on, Hongkongers gradually got used to calling people they were familiar with and respected as a certain Mr. Sang.

  Judging from the expressions of the crowd, Qu Wen knew that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person. Whenever ordinary people see a high-ranking figure, they can't help but feel some changes in their hearts, either respect, fear or inferiority.

  "Are you really willing to spend six million?"

  He Sheng nodded slightly: "What I said has never been retracted."

  Six million is an extremely large number for many ordinary people, and it may be a sum that they cannot earn in their lifetime. Even if Qu Wen has several hundred million now, he would still be amazed by this number.

  What he lacks most now is money, so he attaches great importance to the green and red notes. As long as there is money, more treasures can be bought, and the spiritual energy on top can nourish the spirit.

  However, Qu Wen would not easily sell it without absorbing the emerald spiritual energy in his hands.

  "I'm very satisfied with the price you offered, but this is the first emerald that Xiao Zi himself has appraised, so he wants to play with it for a while. If you don't mind waiting, I'll meet you at the Ruilin Jewelry booth later."

  He Sheng didn't seem to be in a hurry either, and said lightly, "No need, I'll just follow you there, anyway I also want to take a look at the venue over there."

  "Alright, you go first." Qu Wen made a polite gesture, letting He Sheng walk in the front, followed by his two attendants and Zhao Haifeng, as they all headed towards the jewelry exhibition hall together.

  The entire jewelry exhibition venue is very large, from the rough stone trading area to the jewelry display area, and then to Ruilin Jewelry Store, it took several minutes to walk.

  All along the way, I kept hearing people whispering: "Who is that young man? How can he walk alongside He Shengping?"

  "I heard that just now in the rough stone trading area, a lucky person solved a green gemstone, which is the first high-end gemstone to be solved at this exhibition."

  "Oh, so he made a fortune, but with just one emerald, it's not enough to be on the same level as He Sheng."

  "Hmm, maybe he's a low-key rich second-generation kid. Let's follow him and see."

  As a result, when Qu Wen and his entourage arrived at the Rui Lin Jewelry booth, they were followed by a crowd of people. Some came to satisfy their curiosity, some came to see the jadeite, and others just wanted to join in on the excitement. In any case, the Rui Lin Jewelry booth was filled with an unusual bustle.

  "You sit down and wait for a while, I'll finish looking at it and then sell this jade to you."

  He arrived at the place and handed Qu Wen a ordinary folding chair to sit on, while he himself ran to the side table, "carefully" observing the full green that had just been solved. Under the gaze of everyone, he released his spiritual awareness and continuously absorbed the spiritual energy above.

  He saw He Sheng looking at Qu Wen with a curious gaze, and Zhao Haifeng helped to explain: "Mr. He asked you to wait a little longer, he is like this, when encountering things he likes, he must recognize and study them thoroughly."

  He Sheng waved his hand and a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes: "No rush, I have plenty of time today. Is your company from the mainland?"

  Zhao Haifeng was just a temporary "staff member" and didn't know much about Rui Lin Jewelry, so he hastily gave Shen Jianhai a signal.

  Perhaps the three people in Quwen didn't know, but Shen Jianhai did. When he first saw He Sheng, his heart skipped a beat. Although he had only seen him in magazines and newspapers, he could be sure that the old man in front of him was He Jingze, the long-serving chairman of the Hong Kong Jewelry and Jade Manufacturers Association.

  Shen Jianhai quickly walked forward, carefully explaining his company's situation to He Jingze, with a humble tone and expression that could be said to have reached the extreme. This was a rare opportunity, even if he couldn't get in touch with He Jingze, as long as the old man said one word, it would be more effective than promoting himself a hundred times in the industry.

  When Shen Jianhai slowly finished explaining the situation of Rui Lin Jewelry Store, Qu Wen also absorbed the spiritual energy on the Malachite and walked over with a full spirit, holding the Malachite in his hand.

  "Sorry to keep you waiting, let's make a deal now."
