Meng Yan did not defend himself, closed his eyes and listened to the conversation on the stage.
"Master, change sides and continue cutting." Jia Baiyuan's voice was a little helpless.
Anyway, let's make a last-ditch effort, what if there's still jade inside?
But generally speaking, if you go down one-fifth of the way, the section of jade you see is probably the diameter of the jade inside, so there is little hope.
The stone cutter didn't say anything when he heard this. He nodded and turned the stone over, then stood it up and prepared to cut it.
This cutting method can tell whether green can come out of it the fastest. He knew what Jia Baiyuan was thinking, and he was going to make a desperate move.
When the machine was turned on, the motor roared, and the stone-cutting staff found an angle and pressed down the stone-cutting knife.
"Press?"
As soon as the stone cutter entered one centimeter, the stone cutter turned off the power of the machine.
It's green.
"Incredible." The master stone cutter held the piece of material with a hint of wonder in his tone.
"Although this piece of material is small and one-fifth of it was cut off just now, if even one centimeter of the remaining rough stone is green, then it is basically all ice jade."
The master stone cutter weighed the rough stone in his hand: "This rough stone, if all cut into pieces, is probably worth three million."
Jia Baiyuan was delighted when he heard this: "Master, please continue cutting."
The stone cutter nodded and turned on the power again, the motor roared again,
After a few more minutes, the sound of the motor stopped. A palm-sized piece of ice appeared in front of everyone.
"The amount is too small. Sure enough, it is full of jade. It's so hard to find." Jia Baiyuan smiled bitterly and looked at the dark material thrown to the side.
Just now, there was a small half of the original stone. When it was cut open, there was black moss inside, so it was discarded as scrap.
However, when Jia Baiyuan looked at the palm-sized piece of ice material in his hand, he felt relieved a little.
The quality of this kind of ice material is only inferior to that of glass, and it is a piece of gold in the jade industry.
A piece as big as the palm of your hand could easily be worth three million.
Although it may not be possible to surpass the Shen family, the most conservative situation is to tie the Shen family's results. At that time, the fourth competition will be held at worst.
With Meng Yan's support, Jia Baiyuan was confident that he would win this fourth game without any doubts.
"Please give your scores to everyone in the expert group." Jia Baiyuan smiled and handed the jade in his hand to the table of the expert group.
The green jadeite shines brightly under the light, forming a circle of light green halo.
The expert team was stunned for a moment. Representative Liu, the chief, took a look at the Shen family's transcript, which read 4.6 million.
Let’s take a look at the Jia family’s current performance, which is 1.5 million.
At that moment, he sneered in his heart and made up his mind. Then he coughed and said to Jia Baiyuan and the others.
"This piece of ice jade is indeed a rare treasure."
"But it is a pity that the weight of this jade is too small, and the Jia family lost on this point."
"The estimated score is up to 3 million. Including Mr. Jia's previous rough stone score, the total is 4.5 million."
"Four and a half million?!" Jia Baiyuan and Expert Wang exclaimed at the same time.
"This piece of ice is worth at least three million, so how can it possibly be valued at three million at most?!" Jia Baiyuan retorted excitedly.
This is really a close fight, and if we don't refute now, we really can't get back.
If this result were achieved, there would be a gap of 100,000 yuan between the Shen family and the Shen family. No matter how small the gap was, I would definitely lose, and the Shen family would take over the position of president.
And the most important thing is that for this palm-sized piece of ice jade, three million is its base price, not its upper limit.
This shows that the Shen family has already figured it out.
"Mr. Jia, do you want to question the judgment of our association's expert group?" Chief Liu stood up and scolded righteously.
“This is the unanimous opinion of our expert group!”
As he spoke, he glanced at the few silent people beside him except Expert Wang.
Several people looked sad and helpless. They were silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly.
"Mr. Jia, do you have anything else to say?" After receiving the response, Chief Liu turned his head and looked at Jia Baiyuan with a victor's attitude, his eyes filled with pride.
He could neither break up with the Jade Association nor refute the opinions of the expert group. At this time, Jia Baiyuan was speechless.
Seeing that Jia Baiyuan was about to lose, Meng Yan patted his pants and prepared to stand up to save the situation.
But as soon as he stood up, violent coughs resounded throughout the hall, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to Shen Tianyu.
Tang Yuyan was seen gently patting Shen Tianyu's back with one hand, while the other hand was rummaging anxiously for something in her bag.
"Dad!" Shen Jingshi sprinted off the stage.
Shen Tianyu was shaking all over, covering his mouth and coughing violently, with a painful expression on his face.
Tang Yuyan took out a bottle of medicine from her bag, poured out two pills for Shen Tianyu to take, and the coughing stopped immediately.
As soon as Shen Tianyu's condition stabilized, she immediately raised her hand to signal to everyone on the stage.
"Adjourn the meeting, adjourn the meeting!" Shen Jingshi shouted loudly to the stage, while he and Tang Yuyan supported Shen Tianyu and walked out the door.
After receiving the instructions from the Shen family, the expert group briefly discussed with each other, and Chief Liu immediately gave the host a look.
The host immediately announced: "The head of the Shen family has an emergency. The competition is temporarily suspended. The jade from the two families will be sealed and the competition will be resumed at a later time."
After that, more than a dozen staff came to the stage with various tools and skillfully packed and sealed the jade stones on the stage, not even ignoring the cut raw stone waste.
Meng Yan looked at Shen Tianyu's back walking towards the outside of the venue, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and he murmured to himself.
"This Shen Tianyu, judging from his healthy appearance, he is only in his forties at most. He doesn't look like someone suffering from a serious illness."
Outside the venue.
As soon as Shen Tianyu walked out of the door, her face was no longer red and she was out of breath. She looked like a healthy and normal person.
"Let go." Shen Tianyu pushed the two of them away and held her shoulders.
"Dad, you?" Shen Jingshi couldn't help but ask.
"Otherwise, what does it mean if I suddenly stopped the meeting?" Shen Tianyu replied angrily.
"Go and do something for me..."
The Jia family waited in the venue for a while, and finally the staff came to inform them that the final result would be postponed to tomorrow.
Jia Baiyuan briefly explained some trivial matters to Meng Yan, and then led Jia Yu'er back.
Suddenly a day was freed up, and Meng Yan could walk around the venue to kill time.
But it didn't take long for Meng Yan's sudden relaxing time to end.
