Volume 1 Rebirth - The Eve of High School Chapter 24 Slack Stone

  Ziying decided to first unwrap the glass emerald green apple, weighing about sixty kilograms and worth over two million dollars, at the exhibition site.

  When someone saw a large fur coat worth millions, everyone in the exhibition hall gathered around. It seems that as long as there is excitement, there will always be onlookers, Zi Qing thought to herself.

  Earlier, the man had stood there with his arms crossed, waiting to see Aizi Qing make a fool of herself. He could even imagine that after cutting it open, they would all be white stones, and what a disheartened look she would have on her face! Did she think jade was so easy to cut out? If it were that easy to cut out jade, wouldn't everyone be rich?!

  Refused the help of the lazy stone master provided by the scene, Ma Yuxi personally sharpened the knife and went on stage. Although he didn't have much hope in his heart, he still carefully fixed the stone and followed Zi Qing's instructions to cut it from left to right, one centimeter at a time.

  The first knife! The white stone, not even a hint of green light appeared, Ma Yu's heart sank, the surrounding crowd was unusually quiet, and the air seemed to have thinned out.

  Second knife! Still a white stone, the crowd around started to whisper, the man who had previously ridiculed Zi Qing looked at Ma Yu Xi's somewhat pale face and couldn't help but sneer "Looks like you've lost the bet, I've been in this line of work for seven or eight years, and I've only ever seen a single piece of colorless ice jade, kid! This thing isn't as easy to produce green as you think!"

  An old man couldn't bear it and said in a low voice, "Which gambler hasn't experienced ups and downs? Why say such discouraging words?"

  The man seemed somewhat concerned about this old man, his face turned red and he shut up.

  Ma Yuxi looked up at Ai Ziqing, seeing that her face was expressionless, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration. In his heart, he sighed: Even I'm feeling a bit disheartened, but she's still so carefree, as if nothing's wrong. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to pull off this kind of composure.

  Calm your mind and cut with the third knife... At the fourth knife...

  The cross-section suddenly reveals a smooth emerald green, bright and shiny, making one's mouth water.

  The whole field was in an uproar. "It's out of the green!" "Is it really bright?" "At least 90% water!" The onlookers exclaimed.

  The old man quickly stepped forward, picked up the wet cloth and carefully wiped it clean. He then took out his magnifying glass and flashlight, shone them inside, observed it carefully for a moment before suddenly widening his eyes "This... this is an old pit mouth green glass! Authentic apple green, and it's full green!"

  "With a loud noise, the surroundings exploded like a pot, and anyone who studied jade knew what it meant for the old pit glass to be full of green! A single bangle could sell for at least 7 or 8 million yuan! So what concept is this large piece of raw jade? As long as it's not relying on skin green, the value after opening will be immeasurable!"

  "Miss, will this rough stone continue to be cut? If not, I am willing to pay 80 million to buy it." The old man asked Zi Qing. He naturally saw at a glance that the girl was in charge of this stone.

  "Since we've started, of course, we'll see it through to the end! Sorry about that, sir." Zi Qing smiled and declined. She had heard from Ma Yu Xi before that some people would stop selling once they saw a green color, making a quick profit by doubling their money. It's like opening a window for the stone material, even if you see green, but you can't be sure if there's really green inside? Or whether it's cracked? Or how much jade is actually inside? These factors cause some people to sell as soon as they make a profit. That's why the old man asked this question now, which is very normal in the stone gambling world. Even if the old man really bought it, he would still be taking a certain risk, otherwise what's the fun in stone gambling?

  The old man, though slightly disappointed, nodded his head in understanding and smiled, saying "Young people, you have guts! I'll cut them all open later. If the young lady wants to sell, I'll definitely give her a price that will satisfy her."

  Ziying nodded in thanks.

  Time passed minute by minute, Ma Yuxi and two masters used manual grinding machines to carefully grind the jade, taking nearly an hour. The entire piece of jade has emerged, occupying two-thirds of the original material's size, with a bright green surface that is transparent all the way through, having sufficient water content, and a fine texture! It makes people love it at first sight and can't bear to put it down!

  "Hello, miss. My surname is Xiu, I'm the boss of Yulóng Gé. Is this jade for sale? I'm willing to pay 50 million for it." Someone handed Zi Qing a business card and asked.

  Immediately, someone raised the price "Five billion two hundred million, miss consider it!" "Five billion five hundred million!" "I am willing to pay five billion seven hundred million!"

  The price is really too low, according to her estimate, if it were made into a finished product for sale, the price would be over 70 million. So it was decided to retail instead.

  So Zi Qing shook her head and smiled, pushing Ma Yu Xi out and said "Everyone has some misunderstandings, this 'Shi Yu Xuan' s Ma Yu Xi is the owner of this piece of jadeite. If everyone wants to customize any jewelry, they can contact Mr. Ma directly." In this public occasion, Zi Qing had her reasons for pushing out Ma Yu Xi.

  After all, in order not to disrupt his own life, someone needs to be on stage to hold the door. Moreover, by introducing him at such a gathering of jewelry tycoons, one is to increase Ma Yuxi's popularity and two is to make a name for Yu Shi Xuan. I estimate that tomorrow's newspapers will publish "Yu Shi Xuan presents ultra-fine jadeite worth tens of millions!" Such headlines should be enough to cause a stir, but she decided at the last minute to add fuel to the fire!

  So Ma Yuxi brought the white and purple jade rough stones onto the stone platform again, deciding to continue with the on-site jade stone appreciation.

  Everyone's attention has been completely drawn to that apple-green jade, so the work on this side has not attracted anyone's attention. Only Master Lazi is carefully working on the lazy stone according to Zi Qing's instructions. Everyone is admiring the first piece of jade, and many noblewomen and collectors have already ordered various jade ornaments and items from Ma Yuxi.
