Ling Qianren was completely speechless.
Although he felt something was amiss, he had already bought the rough stone, and there was no point in saying anything.
Fortunately, I did a rough assessment earlier, and this rough stone still has the potential to yield valuable items. Of course, I don't know what quality they will be.
Never mind, as long as we can get the treasure, we still have a chance of winning.
At that moment, Lin Zedong was asked to pay, and then the stone was cut.
Before long, the stone cutting was completed.
The result greatly disappointed him and Lin Zedong. They had indeed found a treasure, but unfortunately it was just ordinary quality jadeite.
Only one jeweler came forward to buy it; the value was only 100,000.
Ling Qianren realized he had been tricked. Ye Tianyu had determined that the rough stone wouldn't yield any top-quality pieces, but he didn't give up and deliberately lured him into the trap.
He was furious, glaring at Ye Tianyu: "Kid, you're really something, pulling this trick on me!"
Ye Tianyu smiled jokingly: "This is also a way of gambling on stones. I'm playing it this way and I haven't broken any rules, so what are you going to do about it?"
"Fine, let's see how long you can be so arrogant!"
Ling Qianren gritted his teeth as he looked at the rough stone that the staff had brought over again.
"It's my turn to make the first identification in this round."
"Let's see how you plan to play now!"
After the beautiful host announced the starting price of the rough stone at 50,000, he immediately went over to carefully examine the surface patina and then shone a strong flashlight on it.
After studying it for a full five minutes, he stood up and looked at Ye Tianyu, saying in a sinister tone.
"I'll raise the price by ten thousand!"
"Your turn!"
"Um!"
Ye Tianyu nodded slightly and walked over.
After weighing it and listening carefully to the sound of the tapping, he looked up at Ling Qianren and smiled.
"I don't want this piece either, you can have it!"
"Well……"
Ling Qianren's expression changed drastically. Ye Tianyu's decision to withdraw from the bidding once again caught him off guard.
Based on his experience in appraising antiques, he determined that this rough stone was worthless.
He offered the price in an attempt to use the same tactics against Ye Tianyu and lure him into a trap.
As soon as Ye Tianyu makes an offer, immediately give up and let him have it.
Unexpectedly, Ye Tianyu was the first to give up.
This shows that Ye Tianyu also determined that this rough stone could not yield any treasure, so he simply gave up on it.
Instantly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He finally realized that he had encountered a formidable expert in appraising antiques today.
Ye Tianyu's appraisal skills are simply godlike.
However, his fear was useless; Ye Tianyu didn't bid, and the raw stone was won by him.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and, steeling himself, asked the stone cutter to cut the stone.
After the stone was cut open.
As expected, his assessment was correct.
This raw stone is a worthless piece of waste.
Ling Qianren's face turned pale.
Lin Zedong and his two children turned green with rage.
The entire audience was stunned.
Ye Tianyu smiled.
"Hehe! Master Ling, aren't you the Divine Mirror?"
"How did you manage to extract a piece of junk rock?"
"Isn't this just undeserved fame?"
The extremely insulting mockery felt like a slap in the face to Ling Qianren.
Originally, he wanted to trick Ye Tianyu, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot.
His facial muscles twitched incessantly, clearly indicating extreme anger.
Their original plan to compete with Ye Tianyu to the end had failed; if things continued like this, they were bound to lose.
"Ye Tianyu, don't get cocky. If you can't win the next round, we'll still have a show to watch!"
"You won't give up until you've reached the Yellow River!"
Ye Tianyu sneered, "Master Ling, you lost the first round. In this round, you cut the stone twice, once and found an ordinary quality jade, and once it was a worthless stone."
"I can easily find a piece of jade worth over 100,000 yuan and beat you!"
"It's like I have two wins and you have three losses. Do you think you still have a chance to turn things around?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Ling Qianren gritted his teeth and said, "I will never admit defeat until the very last moment!"
"good!"
Ye Tianyu raised an eyebrow: "I'll play you until you're completely convinced!"
"After saying that, he pointed to the rough stones that the staff brought over again and said, 'It's your turn again, please go ahead!'"
"wrong!"
Ling Qianren said sullenly, "I went first, now it's your turn!"
"Okay! It's my turn!"
Ye Tianyu responded readily and walked over directly.
This piece of rough stone is of much better quality than the previous ones, and the beautiful host announced the starting price of 100,000.
After the assessment, Ye Tianyu looked at Ling Qianren and said with a smile.
Two hundred thousand!
"Whether or not to bid is up to you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.
What tricks is Ye Tianyu up to now?
In the first few rounds, the initial bids were only one or two thousand, or even ten thousand.
This time, the amount actually doubled, from 100,000 to 200,000.
Even if he determines that this rough stone can yield top-quality jade, he shouldn't raise the price so drastically!
Isn't this telling the opponent that this is a top-quality rough stone, making them compete for it?
Ling Qianren was completely dumbfounded. You wouldn't be deliberately raising the price to lure me in, would you?
I'll take a look first.
Ling Qianren walked over with a powerful flashlight.
This time, he watched it very carefully.
He stared at it for a full ten minutes, his brows furrowed in worry.
Because the light and shadow emitted by a powerful flashlight are hazy and indistinct, and there's nothing particularly special about them.
Based on his decades of experience in appraising antiques, this rough stone is most likely a worthless piece.
Why did Ye Tianyu suddenly increase the amount from 100,000 to 200,000?
Ling Qianren thought for a moment, and realized that Ye Tianyu must be using the same old trick to lure him in.
He would immediately give up as soon as I raised the price.
So he sneered to himself.
"You bastard, you're trying to trick me again! This time, I'm not falling for your tricks!"
"I won't bid against you. I'll let you have it. As long as this rough stone turns out to be useless, I'll still have a chance to continue playing with you!"
Thinking of this, he looked up at Ye Tianyu and grinned menacingly.
"I'm withdrawing from the bidding; you can have this rough stone!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianyu looked at him with a strange expression.
"give up?"
Are you sure?
"No regrets?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm sure, I won't regret it!"
Ling Qianren said in a deep voice, "The raw stone is yours now, cut it open!"
"OK!"
"Master Ling, you're finished!"
Ye Tianyu beckoned the stone cutter over to begin cutting the stone immediately.
Amidst a series of piercing, hissing sounds, Lin Zedong, filled with doubt and uncertainty, whispered something.
"Master Ling, Ye Tianyu dared to double the price all at once. Wouldn't it be too hasty of you not to bid?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen!"
Ling Qianren said proudly, "I just examined it carefully, and it's a piece of junk!"
"Ye Tianyu doubled the price, which is the same old trick he used to lure me in. As soon as I make an offer, he will definitely give up immediately."
"So, I won't fall for his tricks this time!"
Lin Zedong thought about it and felt that it made sense. Ye Tianyu hadn't played by the rules in the previous rounds, which was why he had fallen for his tricks.
This time, the price was doubled, which was clearly another trap. Ling Qianren was right not to bid.
Thinking of this, I looked up at the rough stone that was being cut.
Just then, the cutter reached out to turn off the power switch, the cutting sound stopped, and the stone cutting was complete...
