Chapter 28: Betting on a Rise Again (4)

  "Twenty-five million!" Zhang Wei stared at Wang Haomin, his eyes almost bursting into flames.

  Wang Haomin saw Zhang Wei wouldn't budge, so he immediately turned to Li Yang and said: "Three million, Brother Li, I'll give you three million to buy these two pieces of wool fabric!"

  Gu Lao and Sima Lin exchanged a glance, both of their faces revealing a hint of bitter smile. The value of 2 million was somewhat low, but 3 million was a bit high. This was half-gambling on the material, and there were risks before it was fully resolved. Zhang Wei's price of 2.5 million earlier was quite reasonable.

  "You, Wang Haomin!"

  Zhang Wei's eyes widened, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly. This time Zhang Wei was really angry. His childhood friend was competing with him for something, and he was competing so fiercely. Didn't he know that in the past, he had always given in to him?

  "Director Zhang, Director Wang, calm down!" At this point, Li Yang had no choice but to step forward. Actually, when they were bidding earlier, Li Yang wanted to reject them directly, but before he could speak, the two of them suddenly erupted like a barrel of gunpowder.

  As soon as Li Yang spoke, the eyes of all four people fell on him, especially Gu Lao and Sima Lin. This time, Li Yang was indeed in the limelight, and his recent surge would soon spread throughout Henan Province. Soon, Mingyang would become a focus of attention among their peers in the province, and they finally gained some face.

  "Mr. Li, I'll also offer 30 million, you decide who to sell it to!"

  Zhang Wei said this with a hint of indignation. Now he's no longer just making an offer, it seems like he's gotten into a standoff with Wang Haomin.

  "Alright, let Li decide for himself!" Wang Haoming didn't bid again this time. Earlier, bidding up to 3 million was indeed a bit impulsive, but if he really got the good jade, he wouldn't lose money.

  "My decision!" Li Yang shook his head with a bitter smile: "Let's untie everything and talk about it, I won't sell this half-gambling goods!"

  As soon as Li Yang's voice fell, the others looked at him in surprise, especially Sima Lin. After a moment, Sima Lin was the first to laugh: "Good, you have guts! Mr. Li is willing to continue betting, what do you think, Director Zhang?"

  Zhang Wei took a look at Sima Lin, then looked at Li Yang, thought for a moment before slowly nodding: "Mr. Li is the owner of the wool, so let's do it according to Mr. Li's idea!"

  Simar Lin appreciates Li Yang's character, and Simar Lin is the same as Li Yang. Whether buying half or full wool, they like to get to the bottom of it. So today, neither Zhang Wei nor Wang Haomin made a bid for the wool at the halfway price.

  Zhang Wei agreed, not wanting to make things too awkward with Wang Haomin. No matter who Li Yang chose to sell to, there would be unpleasantness between him and Wang Haomin. Since Li Yang was willing to take on the risk himself, he might as well let Li Yang gamble it out and see what happened. If the price still rose, then buying back in would definitely cost more, but the corresponding risk would be gone.

  Reassemble the cutting machine, Li Yang put in that half of the gambling stone containing small pieces of jadeite. This piece of gambling stone will not hurt the jadeite inside no matter how it is cut.

  "Whoosh!"

  This half was quickly cut open, and the cut place revealed a bit of black fog. Several people were stunned for a moment, and Wang Haomin and Zhang Wei's hearts felt a thud. Black fog wasn't a good omen at all. The appearance of black fog here meant that the small half that had been cut open was already ruined.

  Gu Lao and Sima Lin's faces didn't look good either, although it was only a small half-block. The black fog that appeared in the gambling stone wasn't a good omen. Although some people in the industry liked to gamble on fog, even those who liked to gamble on fog didn't like this kind of black fog. Mainly because black fog loved to run away with skin, it was easy for people to go to heaven with one knife and enter hell with another knife.

  All this, although it wasn't said out loud, has completely devalued the worth of this gambled stone, probably now even two million wouldn't be enough for anyone to dare want it.

  Sim Lin's face had already shown a hint of regret, and Old Gu also had a similar expression. Wang Haomin and Zhang Wei, on the other hand, seemed to be slightly relieved. If the first move had been made here earlier, it would have probably been considered a gamble that didn't pay off.

  Their expressions were all observed by Li Yang in his eyes. Li Yang just smiled, and there was no big change on his face, continuing to cut the stone with his knife.

  After cutting two knives, the remaining place is not good for cutting. If you cut again, it's easy to cut off the already small jade inside and waste its value.

  "Director Zhang, can you help me wipe up the rest? I'm a bit tired!"

  Li Yang stopped and said to Zhang Wei, who hastily nodded and walked up. The remaining wool was very small, if the half piece of agate and this half piece were the same, the material inside would be at most a few million. Fortunately, Li Yang had not really agreed earlier, otherwise he would have lost big time.

  There isn't much jade in this half piece of wool, and Zhang Wei soon dug it all out. It's indeed ice species Huang Yang green, but only a small piece, smaller than the one Li Yang extracted in Qingdao last time by about half.

  Looking at this small piece of jade and the remaining half-piece of gambled stone, Zhang Wei's face showed a hint of joy. Without Wang Haomin competing with him, Li Yang might have sold it to him, and even if he had spent 15 million yuan to buy it, he would not have lost much.

  "Five hundred thousand, little brother give me half of it!"

  As soon as the jade was solved, Wang Haomin made an offer. Zhang Wei took a look at Wang Haomin, but this time he didn't say anything. This small piece of ice jade wasn't that important to Zhang Wei anymore, after all, he was a professional jade player and had more sources than Wang Haomin.

  The price of 500,000 is not low for this small piece of jadeite. At most, it can only make three or four pendants or a few ring faces. After deducting labor costs and other expenses, there won't be much profit left.

  "Director Wang, let's put these two halves together and talk about it!"

  Zhang Wei hadn't spoken yet when Li Yang preemptively said, and after finishing, he smiled at Zhang Wei. Li Yang was afraid that Zhang Wei would continue to bid, and the two of them started arguing.

  "Alright, let's start from scratch and talk about it again!"

  Zhang Wei nodded, and this time Li Yang was wrong. For this small piece of jade wool, Zhang Wei was quite moved, but far from the determination to get it earlier. With the ups and downs of psychology, Zhang Wei's competitive heart is not so big now, even if he lets Wang Haomin have it, it doesn't matter.

  Sweep away the debris, Li Yang put the remaining half block of rough stone under the cutting machine, recalling the distribution of jadeite inside, Li Yang's eyebrows gradually furrowed, this half block of rough stone has a lot of jadeite, Li Yang felt that cutting from anywhere might damage its integrity.

  After a comparison, Li Yang slowly rubbed his palms and thought it would be better to observe again. If he cut it wrong, the loss would be huge. For such high-end jadeite, the minimum loss would be tens of thousands of yuan, and in severe cases, it could be hundreds of thousands of yuan.

  The stereoscopic screen reappeared, and Li Yang hadn't had time to observe the distribution of jade in the wool when he was stunned. Not far behind his left foot, a small green streak appeared in Li Yang's mind, which was very eye-catching.

  Li Yang's left foot was behind the edge of the de-stoning machine, and that small patch of green was only about the size of a big thumb, but it was so bright and radiant, full of spirituality.

  Not only is it purely green, but the arrangement of jadeite inside is also exceptionally dense and perfect, much better than the ice-type jadeite being solved in front of me.

  "What's wrong with you, Lao Li?"

  Seeing Li Yang hesitating to cut, Wang Haomin quietly reminded him, and Li Yang quickly came back to his senses, re-examining the half-block of material under the stone cutter.
