The Greatest Village Chapter 833: Over a Hundred Million

Chapter 833: Chapter 833: Over a Hundred Million

Ling Feng pondered for a mont, and then pointed to a spot on the stone, "Cut from this side!"

"Holy shit!"

The middle-aged man exclaid and quickly stepped forward, "Brother, I really misjudged earlier, thinking you were just so reckless rich kid. Now I realize you’re an expert, but is this really the right way to cut the stone?"

What shocked him was that Ling Feng once again broke the rules, asking the Stone-cutting Master to cut the remaining stone in half across its width!

On the cut surface, there appeared an erald the size of a bowl, but no one knew exactly how big the jade inside was. Cutting it in half, what if it got damaged?

The best thod now was to use the Stone-cutting Machine to grind the stone, which ant using the saw blade to scrape off the stone’s surface, milliter by milliter, to find the connection point between the jade and the stone, and then ensure the integrity of the erald!

It was his love for eralds that made the middle-aged man rush up to stop Ling Feng despite their re nodding acquaintance.

But Ling Feng just smiled and said to him, "Big brother, thank you for your concern, but don’t worry, I have my reasons for doing this, and I won’t damage the erald!"

"What reasons? You’re clearly being reckless, a terrible waste!" the middle-aged man said angrily.

Ling Feng, speechless, smiled and responded, "Even if that’s the case, it’s my business. Please step aside, big brother, and be careful not to touch anything!"

After saying that, he stepped back and simultaneously pulled the middle-aged man away.

The Stone-cutting Master saw the look in Ling Feng’s eyes and imdiately pressed the switch, starting the cut from the spot he’d indicated!

"What a waste!"

The middle-aged man beat his chest and stomped his feet, his expression one of agony.

Ling Feng, unable to hold back his curiosity, asked, "What’s your esteed surna, big brother?"

"My last na is Li! Li Huai!"

The middle-aged man shouted, not even glancing at Ling Feng, his focus entirely on the raw stone.

Wanting to look but also afraid to, he dreaded that once the stone was cut, there would be a trace of erald on both sides, which would be very distressing to him!

Seeing him like this, Ling Feng didn’t say much more, just feeling that this man was quite interesting and could perhaps beco an acquaintance.

With a loud roar, after a mont, a stone over thirty centiters long and about the sa in diater was split open.

The Stone-cutting Master was the first to see the cut surface, he paused, then turned the stone around!

Everyone looked and gasped again!

This side, like the other, also revealed a thick, green cross-section!

As expected, within this segnt of stone was a thirty-centiter-long erald cylinder, at least ten centiters in diater!

Upon seeing this, the crowd erupted once more!

"Forty million!"

"Fifty million!"

"I bid sixty million!"

The bidding voices were relentless, everyone was pushing with all their might, as though afraid Ling Feng wouldn’t hear them.

And the person who first shouted out a bid of twenty million was stunned; he turned to look at everyone else, thinking, ’You all scorned

when I made my bid, so why have you suddenly gone crazy now?’

Being a novice, he naturally didn’t understand the tricks of the trade.

Seeing green at both ends, the odds were very high that the inside was full of jade; now, it was worth taking a gamble on.

There was risk, of course, so it all depended on Ling Feng’s mood now.

If he didn’t want to take the risk, or if he was not used to such things, and got tempted by the high price of tens of millions, then whoever bought it could make a fortune.

Of course, this was based on the premise that the rough stone indeed contained jadeite and not any faults or fractures.

The bidders were gambling on their own judgent, but also betting on Ling Feng’s lack of greed and his willingness to settle when things were going well.

Unfortunately for them, after hearing a round of bids, Ling Feng just smiled and seed not to care. He said to the Stone-cutting Master, "Continue, please clean off the stone skin for . As for the thickness, let’s start with five centiters!"

After hearing Feng Ling’s translation, the master nodded, re-secured the rough stone, and began the polishing work.

The crowd had already packed in layers both inside and out, with those on the outermost unable to see what was happening inside over the heads of others; they could only hear the sound of the machinery.

So many simply stood on the tables next to them, craning their necks to get a look.

The polishing process was slow, and Ling Feng’s patience was almost wearing thin.

But as he looked around at everyone, even Feng Ling and Zhang He were watching intently, he was speechless.

As the stone skin was ground away, the revealed surface grew larger and larger; the breathing of the onlookers beca more and more constricted!

The volu of this huge erald far exceeded their imaginations - it wasn’t just a simple matter of ten centiters in diater!

This thing was clearly spindle-shaped, narrow at both ends and thicker in the middle, with the thickest part being at least twenty centiters in diater!

Those who knew their stuff were already estimating how many pieces of jewelry could be made from this jadeite!

Bracelets, pendants, ring faces—the leftover trimmings could even be used for earrings and brooches; not a single piece of jadeite would be wasted!

Keep in mind that this was ice-type erald, and every piece, no matter the size, was top-notch!

"Brother, I’m impressed!"

In the midst of boredom, Ling Feng heard soone’s voice next to his ear.

He turned around to see Li Huai staring at him, his eyes burning and filled with fervor.

Ling Feng was startled and hastily stepped aside, "Li, what’s with that look?"

"Don’t be nervous, this is my business card, how about we beco friends?" Li Huai asked with a smile.

"I’m fine with making friends, but please stop looking at

so creepily, it’s frightening!" Ling Feng replied with a wry smile.

After taking the business card and seeing it was from Capital City’s Henghua Jewelry with the title of president, Ling Feng was taken aback, "My apologies, I didn’t realize Li was such an important businessman!"

"No need for formalities. With this piece of jadeite, you’re an important businessman too!" Li Huai said, smiling.

He had already estimated the value of the jadeite in his heart; after processing and crafting, the jewelry made from it could sell for at least two billion!

Of course, this process would take so ti, it wasn’t sothing one could cash in on imdiately.

To see money right away, the option was to wait for the stone-cutting to be completed and go for a public auction, where the highest bidder would prevail.

But the problem was obvious, at the scene, it was doubtful that anyone could produce that much money in one go!

Li Huai knew well that if the jadeite were auctioned, the ceiling price would be around 180 million, depending on whether there was competition at the scene.

And he had his own calculator running in his mind; now, by getting on good terms with Ling Feng and listening to the other bids, if no one called for a high enough price, he was prepared to add a bit more and win the jadeite!

The roaring of the Stone-cutting Machine stopped, but the work was not finished as there were many detail areas that needed to be handled with a smaller machine.

However, the onlooking crowd couldn’t hold back any longer and as soon as the noise stopped, the first bid rang out, "One hundred million!"

"One point two billion!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng turned to look at Zhang He and flashed a smile.
