Capítulo 1602: Chapter 1802: Imperial Green!!!
The owner of the Gambling Stone Shop heard Hao Jian’s comnt. Although he didn’t say anything, he had a smile on his face. He thought to himself, “You must be afraid of being poor, thinking that a pie will fall from the sky. If this waste stone could really produce sothing good, would it have waited for you to buy it?”
Hao Jian didn’t care about their opinions. He had his own confidence. If that stone was just an ordinary stone, would he embarrass himself? No way. Hao Jian never makes a loss in his dealings.
The onlookers heard Hao Jian say he would cut entirely from the edges, and they started mocking him again.
The owner chuckled, then restarted the machine. As the motor humd, the machine began to work. The owner skillfully operated the machine, cutting bit by bit.
As the machine delved deeper, the eyes of the onlookers started to focus, all directed at the cutting section of the machine.
At this mont, soone scoffed and said, “Ha… if this stone can produce jade, I’ll eat shit on a livestream!”
Among the crowd, soone who enjoyed the commotion and chaos saw this and asked, “Are you serious?”
The person replied, “Would I, Duan, lie? Do you think I’m like you? But what if no jade is cut out?”
This person grinned, thinking it’s impossible for this useless stone to produce jade. But since soone claid they’d eat shit, he might as well join the fun.
The person took out a hundred yuan bill from his pocket and gave it to that person, saying, “If no jade cos out, this hundred yuan is yours.”
The person gladly accepted the hundred yuan.
Other spectators also took out hundred-yuan bills and gave them to this person. For those wandering around the Antique Market, this small amount of money was nothing. If they could spend a bit for entertainnt, it was worth it. So, even though they knew this stone was unlikely to produce jade, they were willing to pay for the thrill.
If jade did co out, would they not really have to watch a livestream of soone eating shit?
They were mainly there for the amusent, other things were secondary.
The tense and thrilling cutting process continued, and as it went deeper, the owner’s expression started to look a bit troubled. But it was just a little troubled at first, and then gradually beca more so.
The onlookers asked the owner, “How’s it going? Nothing coming out?”
The owner ignored them and continued cutting. The process of cutting stones required focus and attention, so he needed to concentrate fully.
However, as the machine continued to cut deeper, the owner’s expression suddenly changed dramatically.
The onlookers saw his expression change, and quickly crowded closer. After a glance, soone suddenly shouted, “Imperial Green, it’s actually the rare Imperial Green.”
The crowd exploded, and everyone rushed over, eager to see the truth.
“Ah! Damn, it’s really Imperial Green. I didn’t expect it to be Imperial Green!”
The owner’s face also turned green. At this mont, his emotions were the most complicated. He never anticipated that a stone he had casually tossed aside would show Imperial Green after just a bit of cutting.
If the entire stone happened to be Imperial Green, wouldn’t he have lost a lot? Thinking that he had sold it to Hao Jian for just ten thousand yuan, his heart ached. Initially, he thought that ten thousand in his pocket was a small profit, but now it seed like a significant loss.
The crowd continued to talk amongst themselves.
“Imperial Green? This is definitely Imperial Green. I’ve seen soone cut Imperial Green before, and it was bought on the spot by a boss for over a million. Damn, this is a fortune!”
“Damn! I didn’t think I’d miss it. If I had discovered this stone sooner, I would’ve definitely bought it!”
“Oh, co on, I heard you loudly saying this stone wouldn’t cut out anything and was just waste stone!”
The owner hurriedly walked over to the machine and pushed the crowd aside.
“Go, go, don’t all crowd around here.”
The crowd had no choice but to move away from the machine a bit.
At this mont, the owner reached out to take the jade, but as his hand reached in, Hao Jian’s hand slapped it away, and he took the jade instead.
“What? Trying to back out now?” Hao Jian said.
The boss took a glance at his own hand and was surprised to see it reddened from just being slapped, cursing Hao Jian in his heart.
But the mont he thought about having sold that piece of Imperial Green for only ten thousand yuan, he felt a sharp pang of heartache.
Hmph! In the face of money, nothing else matters; honesty and credit can all be set aside. Now that this piece of Imperial Green has fallen into this young man’s hands, I feel the real pain. I don’t care about anything else, but today, I must hold onto this piece of Imperial Green.
However, with so many people watching, it’s impossible to backtrack in public; otherwise, it would ruin my reputation. Besides, the Gambling Stone Alliance wouldn’t let him off either, as this would violate the related regulations, especially the top one.
The boss contemplated, and a plan quickly ford in his mind. He glanced at the young assistant next to him in the store and signaled with his eyes. The assistant understood imdiately, as it was the usual signal for certain instructions, and he quietly slipped away into the crowd.
Hao Jian, with his keen eyes, of course, noticed this trickery imdiately, but he didn’t say a word.
To run a Gambling Stone Shop, the boss naturally needed to be clever. His expression quickly returned to normal, smiling peacefully and saying, “How could that be, my small shop makes a living from small trades, relying solely on honesty and credibility. Sir, you must be joking.”
Hao Jian smiled without speaking. It’s often said that business is inherently tricky, and today he had fully witnessed it.
Liang Yuwei was already speechless with surprise beside him. She had done her howork before and naturally knew what kind of concept Imperial Green was within the gambling stone industry.
Jadeite also cos in grades. So materials appear good but reveal only an average jade stone upon cutting. Just yielding jade isn’t necessarily good; producing high-quality jade is what counts.
However, Imperial Green is a unique color, rich and dense green, the best color and most expensive green in jadeite.
At this mont, a stone bought for just ten thousand yuan revealed such a rare Imperial Green, truly giving Liang Yuwei a small surprise.
She looked at Hao Jian, her face full of surprise, and said, “Did you already know it could yield Imperial Green, so you bought it?”
Hao Jian smiled and said, “Otherwise?”
Now those who had mocked Hao Jian had all shut their mouths, envying and being jealous with regret. If they had bought this stone earlier, then the Imperial Green revealed after cutting would be theirs.
This is Imperial Green, worth a huge sum of money if turned around quickly.
At this mont, the crowd erupted with excitent again, but not because of Hao Jian, rather it was about the person who previously said he’d livestream himself eating if it ca out as jade.
Seeing the situation turning bad, the person imdiately tried to run away, but barely a few steps and he was caught.
“What, trying to run?” said the person who caught him.
He clasped his hands and said, “Brother, please let
go. I was just speaking carelessly. Please don’t take those words to heart.”
The people who paid earlier wanted to see a spectacle; otherwise, it wouldn’t be worth wasting money for no reason, so they wouldn’t let this guy off easily.
Seeing those who had paid earlier surround him, he imdiately took out all the money from his pocket and said, “Brothers, you can have all the money. Just let
go. I know I was wrong.”
The person laughed lightly and said, “A gentleman never goes back on his word. You said you’d livestream eating if it resulted in jade, and everyone here heard it. Want to renege? Not a chance.”
Kneeling on the ground, the man deeply regretted, initially wanting attention, but didn’t expect to lose face so massively this ti.
Afterward, this group humiliated him thoroughly before letting him go. Thoroughly embarrassed, he quickly ran off once freed.
The crowd laughed at his embarrassed state, pointing and laughing behind his back.
To this, Hao Jian remained silent. So people need a lesson to know their place; this young man, after this lesson, probably wouldn’t dare brag carelessly again, and likely would have a shadow in his heart.
This little episode was just a montary affair; soon, the crowd again focused their eyes on Hao Jian.
During that ti, Hao Jian had already handed the stone to the boss, asking him to cut around the entire stone.
You wouldn’t know without cutting, but once cut, it was a shock. Originally thought to be just a small piece of Imperial Green, which was already a massive profit, but after cutting, it turned out the whole stone was Imperial Green.
The entire crowd was dumbfounded.
