The onlookers thought Chen Dong was very dignified, elegant, and classy.
They couldn't help but feel envious.
Many people were thinking about it silently.
"When I have money, I'll also..."
"When I finally gamble on a piece of jade like this, I'll do the same thing."
Meanwhile, Shang Yanfei, standing to the side, was "shivering with anger and cold."
This guy is incredibly lucky!
Hmph! I don't believe he can win big on the next rough stone.
Shang Yanfei silently murmured, "May God bless Chen Dong and make him lose everything."
Ouyang Ming felt even more palpitations.
"Could it be that Chen Dong is really incredibly lucky?"
"Can I succeed by going against him?"
At this point, Chen Dong and his team began to cut the second piece of raw jade.
It's as big as two footballs.
This looks like a typical old mine seed.
Its surface texture is clear and free of flaws.
Even without a strong flashlight, you can see a lush green view from the open window.
Everyone had high hopes for it and wanted to get their hands on it.
Therefore, it took Qin a lot of effort and nearly $1.8 million to acquire it.
It is expected that at least a considerable amount of jadeite will be extracted, and the quality of the translucent jadeite will not be low.
Chen Dong simply said, "Just because something looks good on the surface doesn't mean it's necessarily good inside."
Of course, only Chen Dong himself could say such a thing.
No one else would dare to spoil the host's fun here.
The raw materials were quickly moved over and secured.
The stone-cutting master carefully examined the patterns on the rough stone, then picked up a pen, made a mark on it, and pointed it out to Chen Dong and Lao Qin, "How about starting the cut here?"
"Okay, let's cut it like this!" Chen Dong had no problem with it. It was just a piece of rough jade; whether it appreciated or not didn't matter much.
The machine started up again very quickly.
Blades spun, sending stone chips flying.
A large piece of stone was cut off.
The interior of the stone is exposed.
Everyone tried their best to see.
There is no green.
Disappointingly, there was still stone below, clearly indicating that the gamble had failed.
The window-like opening, when viewed from the side, reveals the portion of the rough stone that is entirely jade.
In other words, further down, the jade-colored pattern breaks off.
I must say, they're really good at opening windows!
They cut out the only bit of jade color they had.
At this moment, everyone watching felt regret and lingering fear.
If I were to actually photograph this rock, I'd be in deep trouble.
They couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
"Sigh, it's hopeless."
"It's just a rock! Good thing I didn't take a picture!"
"This looks so weird!"
"Don't rush, it's not over yet, this is only a small part!"
"Yes, we can take another look!"
Actually, the stone cutter was not entirely satisfied, so he observed the stone again and began to cut.
However, they were destined to be disappointed.
Two more cuts were made, but still nothing was found; after cutting them open, only stubborn rocks were visible.
The sighs from the crowd grew louder and louder.
Chen Dong simply shrugged.
"At least now I know that there really isn't any jade in this stone... Hehe, gambling on stones is all about the thrill!"
The crowd chuckled, their eyes filled with respect and admiration as they looked at Chen Dong.
It must be said that Chen Dong's nonchalant attitude impressed them.
Most of them felt that Chen Dong was magnanimous in his dealings with others, rather than petty or easily agitated by minor losses. A young man like him possesses a unique charm.
"Haha, I knew it! He couldn't be that awesome forever!" Shang Yanfei laughed heartily from outside the crowd, patting Ouyang Ming on the shoulder. "I said no, and I meant it! My mouth is blessed, it's incredibly accurate."
Although Ouyang Ming did not believe Shang Yanfei's words, he also felt that Chen Dong was not truly a chosen one favored by heaven.
I still have a way to make a living.
Old Qin was very disappointed in the crowd.
However, after experiencing this several times, he gradually relaxed.
In particular, he recalled the customers he had seen pawning items when he was an appraiser.
Now, with a little thought, he could understand their thoughts; he knew they were too preoccupied with gains and losses.
Living environment influences one's temperament, and upbringing influences one's physical condition.
The owner, Chen Dong, is clearly not short of money, so he's just playing around when he comes here to gamble on stones.
For others, this is business, but for Chen Dong, it's just a game, a way for him to relax.
While it's impossible to predict what actions Chen Dong will take when faced with matters involving life and death or interests, it's certain that he usually behaves very magnanimously.
That's enough!
After the jade cutter cut out the first piece of jade completely, Chen Dong returned to the auction house.
A new auction is about to begin.
That piece of imperial green jade will also be auctioned today, and that's his real target.
Shang Yanfei also arrived at the auction site early.
First, Chen Dong is gone, so there's no more good show for him to watch.
Secondly, he must acquire a sufficient quantity of raw materials, as well as a portion of them of sufficiently high quality.
Yesterday, due to his impulsive actions, he was unable to participate in the subsequent auctions, missing out on several rough stones that he had his eye on, which left him extremely frustrated.
Thinking of this, his resentment towards Chen Dong increased even more.
As with yesterday, the auction began with the first lot of rough stones that were in very good condition but not very expensive.
