When the tarpaulin was lifted, a cutting machine was exposed. The blade was shiny and there were a lot of gravel and debris beside it. It was obviously often used to cut stones.
Xue Chen lifted the original stone onto the base, started the cutting machine, and cut off a piece of stone skin in one click.
While he was cutting, the others stood around and watched quietly.
Xue Chen was not worried that he would cut the jadeite, and he cut it one after another. After a few cuts, someone exclaimed: "It's up!"
Everyone saw that the cut side revealed a large piece of green, which was connected with the green of the window.
"It's not yet certain whether it will go up or not. After all, it cost 400,000 yuan to buy." A manager of a jewelry store said rigorously.
But after Xue Chen made a few more cuts, everyone was sure that it had risen, and it was still rising sharply.
An oval jadeite the size of two fists has been completely revealed, somewhat like the shape of a gourd, with a slight depression in the middle.
"It seems that the permeability is good and the ice species has not escaped."
"The green ones are also very festive and evenly distributed, a bit like parrot green. This material is very rare."
"Nah, is this okay? The first time I touched the rough diamond, the price went up sharply."
Looking at the jadeite blank that Xue Chen had already held up, Zhang Chao's friends in the jewelry circle all looked shocked and envious.
Shen Wanjun looked at Xue Chen, who looked excited, and then at the piece of green jade. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He had already thought of words to comfort Xue Chen and educate him as an elder. Now.
But luckily, it was so bloated that I couldn't use any of the words I had prepared.
Thinking about it carefully, this was originally Daxing's business, but he was turned down by himself. Xue Chen suggested buying it several times, but he firmly refused. He missed out on such a large amount of business, and it cost millions to change hands.
Even though he is worth over 100 million yuan, he still has a toothache.
On the one hand, he had a toothache, but he also felt that it was a bit embarrassing. If this matter got out, some old friends would laugh at him.
As the original owner of this rough stone, Fei Qing's eyes almost popped out of his head. When he thought that this piece of jade belonged to him an hour ago, his intestines almost turned green, and he couldn't bear to give himself a few big ears.
"Why am I so stupid? It's only 400,000 yuan. If you lose it, you'll pay it. It's better to figure it out yourself. Alas."
At this moment, he already regretted bringing Xue Chen to unblock the stone. If he had not seen this scene with his own eyes, even if he knew about it in the future, he would not feel as uncomfortable as he does now.
Zhang Chao's face was also a little dark, his head was sullen, and he remained silent. It was he who suggested Fei Qing sell it, but now it was bought by someone else and the price went up in front of him. This made him feel very embarrassed.
"Little brother, would you like to sell this piece of jadeite rough? I will offer you one million." A manager of a jewelry store suddenly thought about it and stepped forward to ask.
Xue Chen couldn't put it down and held the green jadeite rough in his hand. Although he had already known with his clairvoyance that the jadeite was in the original stone, when he held it firmly in his hand, he was still very happy.
Hearing that someone offered one million to buy it, he smiled disdainfully. Although he had never played stone gambling, it did not mean that he did not know the value of jade.
He made an estimate and realized that if he didn't pay 3 million for the rough piece of jade, he wouldn't even be able to touch it. This was still the price of the rough piece. If it were processed into a bracelet or a ring face, the price would at least double!
He directly stopped these people's thoughts: "Sorry, everyone, I won't sell it, I plan to keep it for myself."
In fact, he has already made a plan. The exhibition of Indian sandalwood will benefit him. If there is a chance in the future, why not hold an jade exhibition? Jadeite is more valuable than Indian sandalwood, and he will naturally make more money. .
Of course, the jade jewelry processed from this piece of jade is far from enough to hold an exhibition.
Holding the jadeite blank, Xue Chen looked at the dark-faced Zhang Chao and Fei Qing and said, "Sorry for the trouble, see you later."
He and Shen Wanjun left the backyard of the jewelry store. Just when they were about to get into their respective cars, Shen Wanjun opened the car door, suddenly sighed, and said to Xue Chen: "Xiao Xue, Uncle Shen is getting old, and he is a little hesitant in doing things. , I have lost the energy I had when I was young. From now on, you will be the one to decide the big business. For business under one million, you don’t need to notify me, you can just make the decision."
"Uncle Shen, I don't think you are old, you are just more considerate. This time it is all due to my good luck. I won't always have such good luck in the future. You still have to be in charge of Daxing. I am still too young. I have to learn from you for two more years." Xue Chen said with a smile.
When Shen Wanjun heard Xue Chen's words, he felt a little more comfortable, but he did not change his mind: "This is not a temporary decision, it has been carefully considered. At my age, I shouldn't work too hard. I have reached the age to enjoy myself." In her later years, alas, I just don’t know when Zixi will find the right person so that I can have my grandson earlier."
When saying these words, Shen Wanjun glanced at Xue Chen a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, before getting in the car.
The jadeite blank was worth three million, so Xue Chen would not store it casually. He planned to put it in the safe of Zhuo Zhuo Antique Shop together with the Qi family knife.
That safe was bought by Fatty Wang for 40,000 yuan when he first opened an antique shop. It was a very high-end and safe model from a big brand. According to Fatty Wang, before the money was earned, he had to prepare a place to store the money. Well, he was once worried about whether the fifty liters of space in the safe would be enough, but it turned out that he was completely unwarranted.
In the Zhuoyue antique store, Fatty Wang saw the green jade blank that Xue Chen wrapped in his coat. He was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He grabbed Xue Chen's arm and asked anxiously: "Old man Xue, which jewelry store did you rob from?"
"Go away! What kind of robbery." Xue Chen glared at Fatty Wang angrily.
"It's not robbery, then where did you come from and pick it up?" Fatty Wang said in surprise.
"I got it by betting on stones. Open the safe and I'll put it inside." Xue Chen ordered.
"Betting on stones? Just spend tens or hundreds of thousands to buy a stone and bet on whether there is jade in it?" Fatty Wang took a breath, "Is this what you bet out of the stone?"
"Yeah." Xue Chen nodded.
"It's so beautiful. How much did it cost?" Fatty Wang carefully picked up the jadeite rough as if he was holding his own heart, and licked his lips excitedly.
"I bought the rough stone for 400,000 yuan. I estimate that this rough piece is worth 3 million. By the way, I will debit the 400,000 yuan from the store's account and transfer it to Uncle Shen. The money to buy the rough stone was borrowed from him."
After Fatty Wang quickly opened the safe, Xue Chen carefully put the jadeite blank and the Qi family knife together, stood up, and explained.
Fatty Wang gave Xue Chen a thumbs up: "Old Xue, what I admire most about you is that you are a white wolf with nothing. Last time, you won more than 800,000 at the gambling table. The principal was borrowed. This time, the money for gambling on stones was
, I also borrowed it, you are a cow, you are really a cow."
After the two sat down next to each other, Fatty Wang glanced at the safe from time to time and smacked his lips: "Four hundred thousand, it turns into more than three million as soon as it changes hands. Damn, it's faster than robbery. No wonder so many people are interested in it."
I can’t even think of betting three million on stone.”
Xue Chen was drinking tea. As soon as the tea cup reached his mouth, he heard Fatty Wang's emotion and his heart moved.
He heard others talk about stone gambling, saying that stone gambling is a knife to heaven and a knife to hell. It can make people rich overnight, and it can also make people bankrupt overnight. Countless people flock to it, but only a small number of people get rich, and most people lose money.
huge.
"Betting on stones is gambling to others, but to me, it's a guaranteed profit. It's just a pity that there doesn't seem to be a place for stone gambling in Haicheng City. If you want to gamble on stones, you need to go to the capital or a big city in the southeast. But
It would be too unsafe for me to go there alone. Even if I get a good jade, whether I can bring it back safely is still a big problem."
Xue Chen thought carefully in his mind and could only put aside the idea of accumulating a large amount of wealth through stone gambling for the time being.
The sky was getting dark, and the colorful neon lights lit up one by one, forming a bustling night scene in Haicheng City.
On the way home, passing by a bus stop on Jinhua Road, Xue Chen happened to see Han Xinyao standing alone on the platform, tiptoeing from time to time, looking in the direction of the bus.
He stopped the car, lowered the window and waved: "Xinyao, you just finished your dance class. Get in the car. I just want to go back."
Han Xinyao came over happily and sat in the back seat: "Brother Xue, what a coincidence, I met you again."
As soon as Han Xinyao got in the car, a very pleasant girl's light and elegant fragrance filled the car.
"Yeah, it's quite a coincidence."
Xue Chen was chatting casually with Han Xinyao while driving. Suddenly, there was a slight gurgling sound in the car. Through the rearview mirror, he could see Han Xinyao's face turning red.
"Have you not had dinner yet?" Xue Chen asked.
Han Xinyao shook her head in embarrassment: "I've eaten. I just ate spicy hotpot outside, but it wasn't delicious. I stopped eating after two bites. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch the last bus, so I didn't buy anything else.
have eaten."
"Why don't you go home to eat?" Xue Chen asked unexpectedly.
"My father went on a business trip to the provincial capital, and my mother also called me and said that she had a meeting at the last minute and asked me to buy and eat outside."
It happened that the car passed by a KFC at this time, Xue Chen simply stopped the car, went to the store and asked for a Family Bucket, took it back to the car, and handed it to Han Xinyao.
"Brother Xue, I have money myself, so I can't let you spend it." Han Xinyao hurriedly took out her wallet to return the money to Xue Chen.
"Brother Xue made some money today, so just treat me as a treat and make amends for knocking you down," Xue Chen said.
If it were in the past, Xue Chen would never be so warm-hearted. After all, the relationship was not that familiar yet. However, when he thought of looking through the wall and seeing the scene in the bathroom, he felt a little guilty and guilty, feeling that he had taken advantage of others.
Although he didn't mean to peep, he saw it after all. This is a fact.
He did this just to make himself feel better.
Han Xinyao saw that Xue Chen was determined not to want her money, so she gave up and said thank you several times. (To be continued)
