Li Xuan went around, asking questions here and looking there. Mr. Tu had already selected three stones, and there was no movement at all on his side.
Many people secretly murmured, wondering if Li Xuan was going to give up.
Soon, Mr. Tu selected four rough stones, which totaled exactly 100,000 yuan. He placed them in a pile next to the stone dissolving machine and said, "I have already selected them. What about you?"
Li Xuan said: "You solve it first, and I will pick it out later."
"Okay, I'm just waiting for you to pick out something!" Mr. Tu snorted coldly, "Master, untie my stone first."
The stone cracker first picked up the smallest piece and placed it on the machine.
Mr. Tu drew a line with a pen and said: "Just cut according to this line, don't go wrong."
The master is a veteran for many years, and his operation is very precise. He cuts the stone along the lines drawn by Mr. Tu.
Everyone gathered together and stretched their necks to look, and a touch of green came into their eyes.
It turned out to be really green. On the cut surface of the stone, there was a line of light green as thick as a thumb. Although the color was not rich enough and the material was not transparent enough, it was still a good deal.
Many people gave thumbs up and praised.
"As expected of Mr. Tu, his vision is so sharp!"
"Master Tu is victorious!"
"Master Tu, can you teach us your stone appraisal technique?"
Mr. Tu's face was full of pride, but he pretended to be humble and said: "No, I'm just lucky."
If we continue to solve the problem, we will find that there is only a small green strip. A senior appraiser in the market gave an estimate on the spot: 65,000 yuan.
This stone only cost Tu Gongzi 10,000 yuan, and in the blink of an eye, he made a net profit of 55,000 yuan.
Continue cutting, and the second stone turned green again. Although it was only a small piece with white floc-like impurities, it was still a profit.
The third one collapsed, and after being cut open, it was just an ordinary stone.
When it came to the fourth stone, it was also the largest rough stone Mr. Tu had chosen, and cost a full 50,000 yuan.
Everyone's eyes widened and they were nervously looking forward to it.
The stone was cut open, and a burst of "wow" exclamations erupted from all around.
It's green again! Instead, it's a lush and transparent dark green.
A fist-sized piece of dark green is embedded right in the center of the stone, making anyone's mouth water when looking at it.
"Oh my god, such a deep green is so rare to see!"
"This is the best, this is the best!"
"Master Tu is so powerful. He only gambled 50,000 yuan to get such a top product. He is so prosperous!"
"I won three out of four bets. Mr. Tu is really amazing!"
Mr. Tu also looked happy and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I'm really lucky today."
The jadeite is completely decomposed, with pure color and fine texture, and its estimated value is 1.2 million.
Mr. Tu spent a total of 100,000 yuan to buy four rough stones, three of which were green. The total valuation reached 1.31 million yuan, a full thirteen times increase!
Many people's eyes glowed green with envy, and they followed Mr. Tu and flattered him non-stop, hoping to make Mr. Tu happy and give them a few words of advice.
Mr. Tu said loudly: "Friends from Anzhou, how are you? You haven't made a choice yet?"
There was roaring laughter all around, and everyone looked at Li Xuan with pity.
Someone said: "I'm afraid he's scared to death."
"I suspect he is not looking at the rough stone, but looking for a way to escape."
"It's so pitiful that you actually bet with Mr. Tu on stones. Isn't this just a joke?"
"A country bumpkin from Anzhou thought that having a black card would be a big deal. Master Tu took care of him!"
Li Xuan acted as if he couldn't hear their taunts and was wandering around in the market. Suddenly he stopped, pointed at the stone under a stall owner's buttocks and said, "Are you selling this piece?"
The stall owner was stunned for a moment: "You mean this is where I sit?"
"Yes." Li Xuan nodded.
The stall owner was happy: "If you want it, I'll give it to you at a cheaper price, one hundred thousand."
"So expensive?"
The stall owner was unhappy: "Why is it so expensive? You don't even look at how big this stone is. Then look at the texture of the shell. Moreover, this is a large piece of material from the entrance of Mosisha. You know Mosisha?"
Well, it was also a famous number one back then!"
Li Xuan shook his head and said: "I don't know what Moxisha is or not. I just know that if this is a good stone, you won't use it as a stool to sit under your butt."
The stall owner blushed: "Then you set a price."
"Fifty thousand." Li Xuan said directly.
The stall owner curled his lips and said, "Then you can go to another place and have a look."
Li Xuan turned around and left.
The stall owner became anxious when he saw it: "Wait a minute, don't you understand that the asking price is so high that you have to pay back the money? Ninety thousand!"
Li Xuan still kept walking, and the stall owner hurriedly said: "Eighty thousand!"
Still walking forward without any hesitation, the stall owner stamped his foot: "Seventy thousand is the lowest. If it's a penny cheaper, I'm not a human being!"
Li Xuan still didn't look back.
Seeing that Li Xuan was about to walk into the next stall, the stall owner wailed: "Fifty thousand is fifty thousand, do you want to pay by cash or by card?"
He swiped the card with one hand and handed over the stone with the other. When Li Xuan moved the stone away, the stall owner breathed a sigh of relief and said with a triumphant smile: "Idiot... If the stone can be solved, I will eat it!"
When the stone was moved to the cutting machine, everyone was dumbfounded.
This stone is as flat as a stone pier. If someone says it is a stone used by someone to press pickles, some people will definitely believe it and say that jadeite will come out of it. I think many people will shake their heads.
Tu Gongzi was so happy: "Hahahaha, you have been choosing for so long and you just chose this thing? Don't tell me that you bought this for 100,000 yuan?"
"Fifty thousand." Li Xuan said.
Mr. Tu said happily: "What kind of bad luck did the stall owner have? He was able to sell this worthless thing and even sold it for 50,000 yuan? Look at this stone. It has no color or pattern.
, it’s like dried dog shit, so only people like you would spend 50,000 yuan to buy a pile of dog shit!”
"Whether it's bullshit or not, we'll find out later when we untie it." Li Xuan said calmly.
"You still have 50,000 yuan, no more choices?" Mr. Tu asked.
Li Xuan said: "No need, this one is enough."
"That's what you said. My current valuation is 1.31 million, so be prepared to pay!" Mr. Tu laughed.
The stone-cutting master sat next to the cutting machine, looked at the rough stone that Li Xuan brought, and asked with disdain: "How to cut this?" He does this every day, and he has some experience. He can often see a piece of stone at a glance.
Can the stone be a little green? The one in front of me doesn't look like it can be green, so of course I'm not interested.
Li Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Just cut it carefully from the outside, about five centimeters."
The stone-cutting master rolled his eyes, operated the cutting machine, selected a position and asked, "Is this okay?"
"Okay, that's it." Li Xuan nodded.
"Tsk!" Sparks shot out from the cutting machine as it cut through the layer of stone designated by Li Xuan.
Although no one was optimistic about it, after all, more than one million yuan was involved in the bet, so everyone still looked at it with interest, wanting to know how bad the stone Li Xuan picked was.
Then, dozens of pairs of eyes next to the cutting machine all turned straight.
