Six hundred thousand?
Ye Tianyu's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Fang Xueqing, asking for her opinion.
Fang Xueqing smiled slightly: "The item is yours. Whether you sell it or not is up to you!"
Ye Tianyu thought about it and realized that he needed funds to expand his business. This piece of icy jadeite only cost him 50,000 yuan, and he would make a net profit of 550,000 yuan from the 600,000 yuan investment. This was a considerable sum of money, which could be very useful for investing in other projects.
Thinking of this, he looked at the jeweler and said: I'm willing to sell, but wait a bit. There are two more rounds of jade gambling. If any gems are found, I'll sell them to you together.
The jeweler was overjoyed and immediately agreed, stepping aside to wait.
Ye Tianyu turned around and pointed at Lin Hao: "It's your turn. Aren't you very arrogant? If you're so capable, then cut out a piece of jade worth more than 600,000."
Lin Hao's face turned pale and then red. Gambling on stones relies half on experience and half on luck.
The probability of finding a treasure worth over 600,000 from a rough stone worth between 10,000 and 50,000 is only 0.01%, which is practically impossible.
He believed that Ye Tianyu had just gotten lucky and happened to run into him.
Of course, it's impossible for him to admit defeat.
"Don't be arrogant, it's just a coincidence that you ran into them. The game isn't over yet!"
Lin Hao looked unconvinced, said something superficial, gritted his teeth, and went over to select a rough stone.
In order to save face, he specifically chose larger rough stones, carefully examining their color and patina, and constantly shining a small flashlight with strong ultraviolet light on them.
In the end, he selected a rough stone the size of a washbasin and weighing seventy or eighty kilograms.
Duan Sihai immediately asked for 100,000.
The Lin family is a family of jade experts, and Lin Hao is a frequent customer of jade gambling, so Duan Sihai naturally dared not set a price arbitrarily.
The huge piece of raw stone only yielded 100,000, which is much cheaper than the small piece Ye Tianyu had just received.
Lin Hao had no objections and immediately instructed the stone cutter to cut the stone.
Without saying a word, the cutter picked up the rough stone and placed it on the cutting machine table, drawing a cutting line on one-third of the stone.
The power was turned on, and with a piercing hissing sound, the stone-cutting began.
This piece of raw stone is quite large, so the cutting time will naturally be longer.
More than ten minutes later, the cutting machine stopped, and the stone cutting was completed.
Lin Hao couldn't wait for the cutter to examine the stone.
"laugh!"
With a soft sound, the cutter flipped the two halves of the rough stone over.
The cut surface is smooth and has a pale green hue.
Lin Hao is quite skilled at identifying raw stones.
A treasure has been found.
However, it's just ordinary emerald green.
The group of jade gamblers looked disappointed. Although a gem had been found, experts could tell its value at a glance.
It's roughly between 80,000 and 100,000.
In other words, even if Lin Hao bought the raw stone for the maximum price of 100,000, he would only break even.
A jeweler approached Lin Hao and offered him a price of 100,000, which immediately made Ye Tianyu smile.
"Lin Hao, didn't you brag about being such a great treasure appraiser?"
"Why is such a huge piece of raw gemstone only worth 100,000?"
"So you're nothing special after all! With your skills in identifying rough stones, you're not even qualified to be my apprentice!"
The language was sarcastic, mocking, and highly insulting.
Lin Hao felt like he had been slapped hard across the face, and he was so angry that he was about to explode.
"Ye Tianyu, this isn't over yet, what are you being so arrogant about?"
Lin Hao, his face flushed, roared, "Who will have the last laugh? We'll see!"
"I'll go first in the second round."
After saying that, he stepped forward with a powerful flashlight to select raw stones.
This time, he chose a rough stone that was about the same size as the previous one and handed it over to the cutter.
Duan Shihai still offered him a price of 100,000.
The stone-cutting has begun again.
Ye Tianyu crossed his arms and calmly watched the rough stone being slowly cut.
Having gone through the previous round of appraisal, he is now full of confidence; the Qilin Treasure Mirror is indeed a divine book for identifying jade.
With the appraisal skills he learned from the Qilin Treasure Mirror, he was confident that he would win.
A dozen minutes later, the cutting sound stopped, and Lin Hao completed the second stone cutting.
The audience gasped in amazement.
This time, the rough stone Lin Hao chose also yielded a treasure, and its quality was much better than the previous one.
Because of its large size, several jewelers competed for the price, and finally settled on 800,000.
Lin Hao immediately looked at Ye Tianyu, beaming with pride, and gave a thumbs-up to his chest.
"See that?"
"Gambling on stones requires real skill, not just luck."
Ye Tianyu smiled jokingly: "I haven't even started the second round yet, how do you know my luck won't last?"
Before Lin Hao could even respond, Lin Bing swayed out, her face full of disdain.
"Tch, what are you bragging about?"
"I still fantasize that my luck will continue!"
"Let's make a bet, are you in?"
Ye Tianyu casually replied, "How do we bet?"
"so……"
Lin Bing pointed to the piles of rough stones: "The rough stone you choose this time cannot be bigger than my brother's. If the jade inside is worth less than 800,000, you lose. You must kneel down and kowtow to my brother and me thirty times. Do you dare to bet?"
A cold smile flickered across Ye Tianyu's lips.
Lin Bing was convinced that the value of his second rough stone would not exceed 800,000, so he wanted to take the opportunity to put him down.
Although he wasn't confident he could find a rough stone worth over 800,000, he absolutely couldn't back down.
He then proudly declared, "What is there to be afraid of?"
"But if I win, what punishment will you impose?"
"I……"
Lin Bing hesitated for a moment, then said, "I will also kneel down and kowtow to you thirty times!"
"No, I don't care about kneeling down and kowtowing."
Ye Tianyu smiled and said, "If I win, you take off your clothes, down to your underwear. Do you dare?"
"puff!"
Everyone laughed when he said that.
Ye Tianyu's idea is good. If he wins, everyone will be able to admire the beautiful figure of the daughter of a jade family.
Fang Xueqing looked at Ye Tianyu, her brows furrowed slightly. She was clearly surprised that Ye Tianyu's bet on Lin Bing was so absurd.
If Lin Bing loses, wouldn't he be able to see her?
However, this was a power struggle between Ye Tianyu and Lin Bing, so she couldn't object.
Lin Hao flew into a rage, pointing at Ye Tianyu: "You're trying to take advantage of my sister! No way! I object to this bet! Let's find another one!"
Lin Bing was so angry that her pretty face turned red as she glared at Ye Tianyu.
"Pah!"
"This punishment is too vile, I don't accept it, find another way!"
"Okay, let's try something else!"
Ye Tianyu said with a mocking expression, "Then take off all your clothes!"
"you……"
Lin Bing was filled with shame and anger: "You're despicable! How can you gamble like that?"
Ye Tianyu looked indifferent and spread his hands: "I've agreed to the punishment you want me to do. If you don't agree to what I'm proposing, then don't gamble. If you're afraid of losing, what's the point of gambling?"
"Well……"
Lin Bing felt as if a bone was stuck in her throat, and her pretty face turned from red to liver color.
She was the one who suggested the game; if we admit defeat, we'll lose all face.
She thought about it and concluded that her brother Lin Hao was bound to win this round, so what was there to be afraid of? Let's gamble.
So, gritting her teeth, she said, "Fine, I promise you!"
