Because when Chen Dong went, he didn't ask the jade appraiser from the Ouyang Group to accompany him for advice; instead, he went alone.
Originally, everyone thought he was just playing around, so they felt there was no need to bring his master along.
Unexpectedly, he immediately won the bid for this six-ton rough stone.
How much will this cost?
It must be several hundred million Hong Kong dollars, right?
It's fortunate that the big boss Chen Dong went in person; anyone else would not have dared to do it this way!
Even Ouyang Ming, the original owner of the Ouyang Group, wouldn't dare to do this.
They can't afford to pay!
But Chen Dong dared to do it.
Everyone knows that Chen Dong is rich, very rich.
This time, they also witnessed Chen Dong's boldness, spending hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to participate in the public auction.
I hope to find good jade, not cheap, low-quality material, and the quantity can't be small either, otherwise, it'll be a disaster.
In that case, Chen Dong would suffer a great loss.
Not only will they lose hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, but they will also become a laughing stock among the wealthy.
For some unknown reason, news spread that Chen Dong had spent hundreds of millions of yuan to bid for jadeite rough at a jade auction in Myanmar.
In fact, for wealthy people like Chen Dong, money can be earned back if it's lost. With so many businesses, making money is relatively easy.
Although the loss of several hundred million was significant, it was still a major blow even to Chen Dong.
But if no good jade is found inside, then everyone will change their perception of Chen Dong.
Even now, many people feel that Chen Dong is still young, unable to control his own heart, and impetuous.
Although he made money, he also started spending it recklessly.
At this point, compared to Chen Dong, many rich kids who were usually criticized for being unambitious and only knowing how to indulge in pleasure became quite endearing.
Even if they spend money recklessly, they'll only spend tens of millions a year, and they'll still get benefits and play with beautiful women. But what will Chen Dong get from all this? He'll likely end up empty-handed and lose everything.
Haha, if that were really the case, it would be hilarious!
It's fair to say that the entire Hong Kong tycoon circle is talking about Chen Dong, and everyone is waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
After all, Chen Dong has risen to prominence in the past two years, suddenly appearing out of nowhere and surpassing even these established wealthy families.
He was praised as a young talent and became a guest of honor that many people wanted to invite.
This phenomenon naturally aroused dissatisfaction among many people, who were unhappy with Chen Dong.
At this moment, they realized that Chen Dong had made a foolish move, and they were so happy that they wanted to jump for joy. Some even wanted to throw a party to celebrate.
Of course, people like Zhu Yuehua definitely hope that this rough stone will yield good material.
On the one hand, it was out of goodwill towards Chen Dong and a desire to support him; on the other hand, it was also out of a desire to take this opportunity to obtain fine jade.
That day, Chen Dong, Zhou Huimin, Lao Qin, Zhu Yuehua, and several others went to the jade production workshop of Ouyang Group to cut stones.
Several of the best stone-cutting masters from the Ouyang Group were brought in to perform the work.
There were young people and old people.
However, they respected one of the older masters.
When the masters saw such a large raw stone, they were immediately astonished.
To be honest, having spent most of their lives cutting raw jade stones, this was the first time they had ever seen such a large rough stone.
To be on the safe side, the old man circled the raw stone for a long time, wrote and drew on paper, and discussed it with the crowd, creating a lively atmosphere.
Then, someone took out a marker and, based on the results of the previous discussion, made marks on the rough stone, calculating the best place to cut.
The whole process took nearly half an hour, which seemed rather slow.
Although Zhu Yuehua and the others standing to the side were anxiously waiting, no one said anything about the stone-cutting masters' behavior.
They also knew that they needed to be cautious.
We must be extremely cautious!
This is also to ensure that if there is indeed jade, its integrity can be guaranteed, preventing damage or waste.
It's as if doing this will guarantee you get better products.
Chen Dong observed their serious demeanor and the concern of those around them, but said nothing, simply watching and waiting quietly.
After all, if the raw material isn't unraveled, no matter what you say, it's useless; only facts can speak for themselves.
At the same time, looking at everyone's expressions, Chen Dong actually found it quite amusing.
He suddenly realized that he had developed this perverse sense of humor!
Finally, the old craftsman picked up his tools for cutting the stone and got to work.
That said, a piece of raw material this size, weighing six tons, is impossible to handle with that kind of machine.
However, only relatively traditional tools can be used to cut the stone.
Fortunately, it was this experienced master; if it were someone else, their technique might not have been so steady.
Then, the first piece of stone was opened.
Then, the others also took turns trying it out.
As each piece of stone was peeled away, revealing its true form, all the participants were stunned.
Everyone crowded around to take a look.
Even though they were only looking at the exposed parts, they were incredibly excited.
"Fine jade!"
"It's glass-type! Imperial green glass-type!" the experienced craftsman said with certainty after just one glance.
Seeing this, all the stone-cutting masters were greatly encouraged.
This was the first time in my life I had ever seen such a large piece of jade, and it was cut out by them.
Vivian Chow grabbed Chen Dong's arm and exclaimed, "Honey, you're amazing!"
Old Qin exclaimed in amazement, "Mr. Chen, you...you're incredibly lucky!"
