Master Jie Shi heard this and immediately started the machine.
Because it had turned green and the color was good according to visual inspection, he deliberately slowed down and cut more carefully.
If it was really the best jadeite, he couldn't afford to pay for it if it was cut into pieces.
However.
Just two seconds after cutting, he stopped again.
When Wu Qingxiong saw this, he suddenly became confused: "Master, why don't you cut it down?"
Master Jie Shi frowned and whispered: "Master Wu, do you want to stop thinking about it and sell it directly?"
"What?"
Wu Qingxiong was stunned, "You want me to stop cutting and just sell the semi-finished product?"
Master Jie Shi nodded slowly.
See the situation.
Wu Qingxiong suddenly showed displeasure: "Master, are you kidding me? If you sell it before you finish solving it, the price will be at least half!"
In the stone gambling industry, there have always been finished products and semi-finished products.
The finished product is to extract all the jadeite from the original stone so that others can see the color, texture and size of the jadeite at a glance.
In this case, it is almost like going directly to a jade shop to buy ready-made jadeite.
As for the sales price, it will generally follow the market conditions, and there will be no chance of a big drop or a big rise.
But semi-finished products are different.
Semi-finished products are only a part of the product, and others will bet on the quality, texture and size of the remaining parts based on the condition of this part.
It is also commonly known as window opening in the industry.
If the bet is right, the buyer can still make a lot of money.
But if the bet is wrong, the loss will be huge. You may even invest millions, but the result is only worth a few hundred thousand.
Because of these risks, the price will be much lower than the finished product.
Therefore, if stone bettors do not have enough confidence in the rough stones that have turned green, they will consider selling them directly as semi-finished products.
In this way, although you will make a lot less money, you will never lose money.
This is also the reason why Wu Qingxiong is unwilling.
He was very confident in his own eyesight, so how could he agree to sell the green rough stone as a semi-finished product?
In that case, at least five million less would be earned!
"Master Wu, have you thought about it?" Master Jie Shi asked again.
Wu Qingxiong was already a little impatient at this time, "Cut it if you want. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Cut it all out for me!"
"Oh well."
The master of stone dissection nodded and started the machine again to start dismantling the stone.
"Miss Lu, how about we make a bet?" Lin Fan suddenly had an idea and whispered in Lu Wanning's ear.
Lu Wanning was stunned, "Chairman, what do you want to bet on?"
Lin Fan raised his chin towards the rough stone he was unraveling and said, "Let's bet on whether Wu Qingxiong's rough stone will rise or fall after all the uncut stones are removed. If your bet is right, I will discuss this cooperation with you."
"What if I bet wrong?" Lu Wanning asked curiously.
Lin Fan pointed to his face and said, "Kiss me."
Hear the words.
Lu Wanning was stunned for two seconds.
Immediately, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and her heart began to beat wildly.
Chairman, what does this mean?
Does he like me?
Otherwise, why did I make a mistake in my bet and I would have to kiss him..."
moment.
She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Lin Fan.
A heart caught in entanglement and struggle...
And at this time.
Lin Fan didn't notice anything strange about her because he kept staring at the rough stone.
When I saw the rough stone, it was almost finished.
He quickly urged: "Want to gamble? If not, just think of me..."
"bet!"
Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, Lu Wanning nodded sharply.
But after she said the word "gamble", her heart beat even harder, and she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Never have I been so embarrassed!
Deep down, she really wanted to win.
Because if she wins, she can win the cooperation with Daqin Pharmaceutical, and then she can prove herself to her grandfather Lu Zhenhua.
But on the other hand, she had the slightest expectation of the consequences of losing the bet.
"If I lose the bet, does that mean I can take off the chairman's mask and see what he really looks like?
Oops! Lu Wanning, what are you thinking about? Do you really want to kiss the chairman..."
At this time, Lu Wanning almost buried her head in her chest.
In particular, she felt that her face was very hot. She knew that it must be very red without looking in the mirror, and she immediately became frightened.
It would be so embarrassing if the chairman found out!
However.
Lin Fan didn't know what Lu Wanning was thinking at this time.
He didn't even look at Lu Wanning and asked, "Then I'll let you choose first. Do you want to bet on the upside or the downside?"
Lu Wanning hesitated for a moment.
In the end, reason prevailed in her mind, "I bet on the price going up."
In her opinion, Wu Qingxiong's family was in the jade business, so it goes without saying that he had a good eye for stone gambling.
Moreover, he is so confident that he is unwilling to sell half-finished products.
It must be obvious that there is top quality jade inside.
Therefore, the possibility of rising is naturally the greatest.
"Okay, then I'll bet on the loss."
The corner of Lin Fan's mouth under the mask evoked a smile of success.
Although it was a bit unethical to do this, when he thought about being married for three years without even kissing or hugging, he felt very bad.
It doesn't matter if I get a little interest back now.
Just thinking about it.
Suddenly there was a click sound in front of me. It was the rough stone being cut through by the stone dissecting machine.
But they haven't separated yet.
The master saw the stone and blew it away in one breath, blowing away the original stone and the dust in the air.
Immediately, he was about to reach out and peel off the top piece of rough stone, so that he could see the true situation inside the original stone.
At this time.
Wu Qingxiong rubbed his hands and walked over: "Let me do it."
His face was extremely excited, and he felt like he was about to open a blind box, and it was a blind box that was sure to win the jackpot.
The master explained that he gave up a position.
Wu Qingxiong immediately walked to the cut rough stone, reached out and slowly uncovered the upper rough stone.
"Hahaha, show up, my top quality rough stone..."
The next second, his expression suddenly changed and he froze there.
And the rest of the words felt like someone was strangling my throat and I couldn't spit them out.
People don't know why.
Someone couldn't help but urge: "Master Wu, hurry up and uncover it, let us see what the best jadeite looks like."
"Yes, is it that the jadeite is too big and scares you?" Someone agreed with a smile.
But Wu Qingxiong still didn't move.
Not only that, his face gradually turned pale, and the hand holding the original stone began to tremble.
Lu Tianming couldn't help it anymore.
He walked over directly and was about to pat Wu Qingxiong on the shoulder when his eyes caught a glimpse of the cut surface of the rough stone below.
moment.
His expression changed, and he almost cried out: "How could this happen? The bet... the bet failed?!"
"What!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions all changed.
The bet failed?
Isn’t it the best jade below?
Instead, impurities or cracks appeared, turning it into ordinary jade?
Everyone looked at each other and secretly guessed.
Some people couldn't hold it any longer, so they walked around the pile of rocks and came behind Lu Tianming, craning their necks to look.
In an instant, they understood.
It turned out that this rough stone only had a little jade cut out of the front, and it disappeared as it was cut further down.
Yes.
There are no impurities or cracks underneath.
But even the jade is gone!
They are all ordinary stones!
Moreover, even this jadeite is very thin, only about the size of a fingernail.
This piece of jadeite is too small and thin, and you can’t even cut it into a jadeite bead!
