Chapter # 16 "One billion for one knife"

Cheers echoed throughout the mall,

People who didn't know why came to watch the show one after another, and a large number of melon-eating people gathered around.

After the entire rough stone is cut, the internal structure of the original stone is truly revealed.

I saw a smooth cut surface with one-third of the turquoise plane, which is a medium-quality Qingshui jade.

Although the price is not high, it is larger in size and can be sold at a good price.

Staff members stepped forward and shouted through loudspeakers.

"According to our store's rules, onlookers can bid, and the seller decides whether to sell or not."

"Is there any bid for the first rough stone?"

There was a buzz underneath, discussing the value of this piece of jade.

"I think the jade material can weigh ten kilograms. I'm offering you one hundred thousand yuan."

"I'll pay 120,000."

"One hundred and forty thousand!"

The highest bid is 140,000, will the seller sell?

The staff asked Xiang Xiaoke, and he nodded. Anyway, this was just the worst stone among the rough stones he selected.

"The seller agreed to sell, congratulations to both of you."

The buyer came over and paid, and then he happily put the two halves of stones on the cart and took them home.

The second rough stone cutting

Everyone continued to eat melons, and some even moved to small benches to knock on melon seeds and watch the show.

The second rough stone was a small stone, and even the old master who cut the stone thought there was no hope.

Soon, the stone was split into two, revealing the gorgeous facets inside.

"Wow, it's out again?"

Xiao Ke looked at the people with their mouths open and felt speechless. Is this thing so difficult to hit?

Wang Siqi in the stands also opened her little cherry mouth. Unexpectedly, her younger brother was so lucky and got two pieces of jade in a row.

After expert appraisal, the jade surface is as black as ink and is of the highest quality black jade.

"A piece of fine black jade, is there any bid from the audience?"

"I'll come, I'll come, I'll pay 150,000."

"One hundred and sixty thousand."

"170,000"

"To stir up trouble, right? Two hundred thousand!"

"The highest bid is 200,000, and the seller decides whether to sell or not."

Xiao Ke still chose to sell it. This kind of jade was not what he needed.

The old master couldn't help but show his thumb to Xiao Ke. This little guy is lucky.

The third rough stone

This time I cut a large rough stone.

After a while, the big rough stone was divided into two, with nothing in the middle.

Everyone sighed, did you use them all? This thing is really difficult to hit.

Xiao Ke walked towards the old master. He was right. It was just that the jade was all on the right half of the original stone. When he was cutting it, it happened to bypass the jade surface.

"Grandpa, take a look at this."

Xiao Ke pointed to the right half of the rough stone and signaled to start cutting from here.

"Okay, don't be discouraged. If you win, you will lose."

The old master began to cut the right half, this time very quickly.

The original stone separated, and the blue-white light flashed in front of everyone.

"It exploded! Good stuff is out!"

"With this appearance, the high-quality blue and white jade seems to be of the waxy ice variety."

"Such a big piece of ice-green white jade, my God, I feel numb."

Before the staff came to the stage to shout, the audience had already started to make quotations.

"I'll pay half a million!"

"You dare to fight for ice-type green-white jade with 500,000? Go home and eat scallion tofu, which is also green-white. I'll offer 800,000!"

"850,000!"

"900,000!"

"One million!"

The staff saw that no one was bidding anymore and announced that the highest price was one million.

Xiao Ke still chose to sell it.

Wang Siqi wanted Xiao Ke not to sell it, so she could take it home as a souvenir.

The fourth rough stone

Others stopped arguing and waited quietly for the result of the stone cutting.

"What!"

The rough stone was separated. This time, there was silence on the field. Including the stone cutting master, everyone looked at the smooth cut surface in surprise.

The jade surface was pure, pure white, just like the clouds in the sky, pure and flawless.

"This... ice-type white jade!"

There were more people around this time, even the staff and appraisers in the jade shop came out to watch.

"This quality, this color, hiss!"

"One million!"

"One million and two hundred thousand."

"Two million, my jade shop will take it, I hope everyone here will give me some face."

I didn't expect that cutting a piece of jade would alarm the owner of the jade shop. It seems that he has taken a fancy to this piece of jade.

"The highest price is two million, will the seller sell it?"

"Sell."

The fifth piece of raw stone exploded into ice-type mutton-fat jade, which was sold for two million and eight hundred thousand.

The sixth piece of raw stone exploded into pure yellow jade, which was sold for one million and three hundred thousand.

The seventh and eighth pieces were sold for nine hundred thousand.

Everyone was stunned. This was not gambling on stones, this was clearly a live broadcast of jade unboxing!

Every piece of raw stone exploded with a high price, and everyone was sweating.

There were still four pieces of raw stones that had not been solved.

The old master was numb. This was the first time he encountered such a bizarre thing.

The ninth piece of raw stone exploded into mutton-fat jade again, but this piece was slightly larger than the previous one.

The jade shop bought it for three million, and Xiao Ke didn't calculate the price.

I didn't come here to make money, but to find the best jade to make a spiritual tool.

Xiao Ke looked at the remaining three raw stones expectantly.

The old master operated the machine to cut another raw stone.

Everyone was so scared that their high blood pressure was about to come out.

"Oh my god, what kind of jade is this?"

"Why have I never seen this kind of jade before?"

"Is there any transparent jade?"

The appraiser's legs went weak. This is top-grade glass jade, and it's the size of a face.

Damn it. If I don't filter out this kind of jade, my boss will definitely fire me.

Many appraisers wailed together. This is not the way to play.

The staff came on stage.

"Top-grade glass jade, start bidding!"

"Eight million! My Construction Group wants it."

A bald boss dressed like a rich man spoke up.

"Nine million, please give my Fengjun Group some face."

"Ten million, there is no such thing as face in an auction, and the highest bidder always wins."

This kind of boss-level battle made the jade shop dare not interrupt.

"Twelve million, my Qingyang Group will give it to the head of the Ouyang family, please think twice."

"Tsk, it's just a dog of the Ouyang family, our Li family bids thirteen million."

The hearts of the spectators trembled with every increase in the price, and the entire seventh floor was surrounded by water.

In the end, the raw stone was bought by the Li family at a high price of 15 million.

There were only two raw stones left.

Everyone could feel the tense atmosphere at the scene, and even the unknown passers-by felt a sense of oppression.

Another raw stone was unwrapped, and everyone felt that the jade in front of them was strange.

"This is blue water jade, right? How can it be a waste?"

"Is blue water jade rubbish? This piece is also worth tens of thousands. You are like a beauty who has seen too many beauties and thinks that ordinary people are not good at looking at it."

Wang Siqi's hands were tightly grasped on the armrests of the chair. This is not blue water jade!

Several old experts seemed to see something and hurried over to check.

"Huh? What are these old men doing? What's so good about a piece of blue water jade."

Someone nearby spoke up, and the voice was not small.

A respected appraiser turned around and yelled.

"Shut up, bumpkin, this is not blue water jade!"

Everyone looked at the raw stone carefully again, and some people took out pictures on the Internet for comparison.

"It seems a little different."

"Why does this jade look much warmer and softer than the blue water jade?"

"Yes, and this jade is not only delicate, but also reveals some purple light in the blue, so magical."

"It is indeed very spiritual."

After some discussion, the staff walked onto the stage.

"Ahem...Emperor Blue Jade! Start bidding at the size of a fist."

"Oh my God, call an ambulance, my heart hurts."

"Oh my God, I can actually see the Emperor Blue Jade, this life is worth it."

"It is said that the jade pendant that the Wang family bought for their only son was made of Emperor Blue Jade, which is ten times smaller than this one and was auctioned for 100 million."

"So, 1 billion!!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Quick, notify the head of the Li family and prepare the funds."

"Contact the head of the Ouyang family urgently and tell them that a large piece of Emperor Blue Jade has appeared in the world."

"Notify the family, as long as they can get it cheap and then auction it off, they can easily make several hundred million."

(°^°)

The audience was already in chaos,

There were also people who wanted to rush to the stage to grab it. With 1 billion in front of them, who wouldn't go crazy?

Xiao Ke stared at everyone coldly. If anyone dared to approach, he would show no mercy.

Wang Siqi stood up. If there was an emergency, she would definitely protect her brother.

After waiting for the security to maintain order, everyone started a new round of scramble."300 million!"

The bidder was the younger brother of the Li family's patriarch, who was also the second in command of the Li family.

"350 million!"

The bidder this time was the eldest son of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Xiu.

"Don't hesitate here, everyone knows the value of this jade. I'm offering 700 million!"

Gao Jiajun, the president of Gao's Group, spoke calmly.

He was determined to get this precious jade!
