Under the skillful hands of the stone cutter, a piece of jade the size of an adult's fist slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Imperial green jadeite is already rare and precious, but this piece is the size of an adult's fist, making it even rarer and truly priceless.
"I have fulfilled my mission." The stone cutter held up a fist-sized piece of imperial green jade and handed it to Liu Xiaoyuan, his face beaming with excitement.
For a stone cutter, being able to cut a fist-sized piece of imperial green jadeite in one's lifetime is an extremely proud achievement.
Just like a teacher, when the students they teach can get into prestigious universities and become successful, the teacher will feel proud.
Liu Xiaoyuan took the imperial green jadeite handed to him by the stone cutter and liked it more and more the more he looked at it. It was so beautiful that it was beyond compare. The green color seemed to be flowing out.
"Young man, I'm willing to pay a high price to buy your imperial green jadeite, fifty million, what do you think?" A big boss walked up to Liu Xiaoyuan and stretched out a hand.
Fifty million! Holy crap! The people present were shocked once again. The stone they bought for 20,000 yuan had actually yielded a piece of imperial green jadeite worth fifty million yuan.
How many times did it increase? A full two thousand five hundred times! Damn, it's not just a bicycle turning into a motorcycle, it's a bicycle turning into an airplane!
Everyone was envious and jealous of Liu Xiaoyuan's good luck! Why didn't they have such good luck?
Even though Liu Xiaoyuan is not short of money now, he was still shocked when he heard the number fifty million. After all, fifty million is not five thousand or fifty thousand yuan, and not everyone can come up with it.
However, the thought of carving the imperial green jade into jewelry to give to his parents and Lu Siyao made Liu Xiaoyuan give up the idea of selling the imperial green jade.
"Mr. Tan, this young man's imperial green jade is top-grade imperial green jade. With such a large size, it's absolutely rare. Are you taking advantage of the young man's ignorance of the market by offering 50 million?" The jade shop owner who had kindly reminded Liu Xiaoyuan earlier criticized the Mr. Tan.
Then, he said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Young man, this piece of imperial green jade you have is a top-grade imperial green jade, priceless. I'll offer 80 million!"
"Min Dongqing, are you deliberately trying to sabotage me?" Boss Tan said angrily, pointing at Min Dongqing.
Min Dongqing glanced at Boss Tan and said, "Tan Shiguo, how did I undermine you? You clearly wanted to buy this top-grade imperial green jade from this young man at a low price, and you won't allow others to say anything about it. Besides, this young man didn't agree to sell this top-grade imperial green jade to you, so we are in fair competition, the highest bidder wins!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Shiguo's face turned green with anger. He had indeed wanted to buy the top-quality imperial green jade from Liu Xiaoyuan at a low price, but he didn't expect Min Dongqing to undermine him and say it in front of Liu Xiaoyuan.
“Min Dongqing, the highest bidder wins, right? Alright, young man, I’ll offer 90 million. Sell me this top-grade imperial green jade.” Tan Shiguo said magnanimously.
Liu Xiaoyuan never expected that the fist-sized piece of jade in his hand would be so valuable. However, no matter how valuable it was, Liu Xiaoyuan would not sell it.
"Gentlemen, I'm not selling this jade!" Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said.
Upon hearing this, Tan Shiguo assumed that Liu Xiaoyuan was unwilling to sell because he thought the price was too low, so he said, "Do you think the price is too low? In that case, I'll offer one hundred million!"
Tan Shiguo gritted his teeth and said that 100 million was his bottom line; any higher and he wouldn't make much profit.
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "It's not about the amount of money; I have a use for this jade!"
Liu Xiaoyuan's unwavering stance in the face of 100 million yuan was a shock to everyone present. Although those attending the event tonight were all wealthy and powerful figures, 100 million yuan was still a huge sum for everyone there.
Liu Xiaoyuan refused without hesitation, and his composure and spirit made everyone present look at him with even greater respect.
Feng Ping, standing to the side, was even more impressed with Liu Xiaoyuan, to the point that he almost knelt down and worshipped him on the spot.
Since Liu Xiaoyuan was unwilling to resell the top-quality imperial green jade, Tan Shiguo and Min Dongqing stopped bidding for it.
"Mr. Min, you're in the jade business, could you help me carve this piece of jade into jewelry?" Liu Xiaoyuan felt that Min Dongqing was a better person, so he chose to entrust the jade to Min Dongqing for carving.
Of course, if Min Dongqing dares to take the opportunity to switch the items, Liu Xiaoyuan will naturally have plenty of ways to teach him a lesson.
Liu Xiaoyuan dared to entrust this jade to Min Dongqing for carving, so he wasn't afraid that Min Dongqing would run away with the jade or simply deny the deal. Judging from tonight's events, Min Dongqing's jade business must be quite large, so he had absolutely no need to ruin his reputation for this top-grade imperial green jade.
Furthermore, as I said before, if Min Dongqing dares to covet Liu Xiaoyuan's top-grade imperial green jade, Liu Xiaoyuan has plenty of ways to make him regret it.
Min Dongqing never expected that Liu Xiaoyuan would give him this top-quality imperial green jade to carve; it was truly beyond his expectations.
"Sure, of course!" Min Dongqing quickly took the top-grade imperial green jade from Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "Young man, how many pieces of jewelry do you want to have carved? Pendants, bracelets, or even something else?"
Liu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "You guys design this. I need as many as possible, but it can't be less than eight pieces."
Min Dongqing said, "Since you trust me so much, I will definitely help you do this well."
"Boss Min, how much is the processing fee? I'll transfer it to you." Liu Xiaoyuan knew that master jade carvers like him didn't usually work easily, and when they did, the price was always very high.
Min Dongqing said, "Young man, let's not talk about the processing fee for now. It's my honor that you entrusted me with carving this top-grade imperial green jade. Don't worry, when I get back, I will definitely find the best jade master to design this top-grade imperial green jade for you and make the most of it."
Tan Shiguo, who was standing to the side, was so angry when he saw Liu Xiaoyuan hand the jade over to Min Dongqing for processing instead of giving it to him that his face turned green. He glared at Liu Xiaoyuan and Min Dongqing with a look of resentment.
"Then I thank you very much, Boss Min. I will still pay the processing fee," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
"Don't worry about the processing fee. You can pay me back when it's done. Trust me, and I trust you too!" Boss Min said, then asked Liu Xiaoyuan for his phone number.
When Feng Ping's friends saw Liu Xiaoyuan and Min Dongqing chatting so enthusiastically, as if they had forgotten about the bet they had made earlier, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They were afraid Liu Xiaoyuan would remember the bet and make them eat stones on live stream. What would they do then? Were they really supposed to eat stones? They'd choke to death!
