This was the first time Liu Yihang had ever seen two such large rough stones. If it weren't for the mottled pine flowers and long python-like patterns on them, he would hardly believe that they were actually two rough stones.
He instantly thought of the owner of that jadeite stone pillar with the inscription "Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity." The jadeite that was cut open must have been enormous, and that large stone pillar was just a small fragment of it.
Several rough stone consultants surrounded the rough stone with magnifying glasses, examining it carefully.
Liu Yihang also heard someone say, "No wonder the organizers put both of them up for auction as the top bidders. If I were in their shoes, I wouldn't know which one to choose either."
Look, the moss on these two stones is very dense and the color is beautiful, a glowing green that almost covers the entire stone and penetrates very deeply, so they are sure to yield good jadeite!
Especially this second jadeite, with its mottled patterns and vein-like markings, there's a high probability it will yield jadeite of at least icy, bright green quality.
"I don't think so. I don't know if you've noticed, but there are some black python-like bands on the second jadeite. These black python-like bands could be black moss distributed in bands, which could form a phenomenon of moss mixed with green. No matter how good the jadeite is, if it is eaten up by moss, it is all in vain."
"I don't think so. This python-like pattern might not be black spot. Besides, what if it's green following the spot? It might turn into a good jadeite."
"I still favor number one; number two is too much of a gamble."
Liu Yihang felt that what they said was too absolute. The glass-type imperial green jadeite he had previously unearthed had a very ordinary appearance on the surface of the stone, so ordinary that no one would pay special attention to it.
However, most stones with good outer shells will not be too bad when cut open.
For example, these two top-performing stones are probably the two best-performing stones that Liu Yihang has seen so far.
The jadeite skin is covered with green jadeite particles that have not been completely weathered. They resemble green pine needles, scattered like stars on the surface of the skin, one after another.
Liu Yihang took two deep breaths and looked at the No. 1 raw stone.
Peeling away the thick stone shell, he saw the jade inside, and the next second, he froze on the spot.
He sighed with a hint of regret.
This stone is really outstanding; the jade inside is almost icy green, and it's quite large.
However, the jade was found to be full of stone veins.
In an instant, its value plummeted from tens of millions to less than a few million, because there was very little usable jade inside, and no large pieces could be extracted. Only a few pieces of jade could be salvaged from the stone veins.
It's overvalued to be worth millions.
I never expected that such a perfect piece of material would suddenly have stone veins inside.
For the first time, Liu Yihang understood what it meant to be rich or poor in one cut. Whoever won the bid for this jade today would probably lose everything, down to their last penny.
Thinking of Wang Haisheng and his son, who were jumping and shouting to win the bid for the top spot, Liu Yihang looked at Wang Haisheng sitting nearby and gave him a "good luck" expression.
He then turned his attention to the second rough stone.
Passing through the black python belt, Liu Yihang saw a patch of dark spots, like black blemishes on the skin of jade. They were stubbornly rooted in the jade like flaws, appearing so inappropriately.
These black spots, like heavy pieces of coal, cast a shadow over the originally crystal-clear jade.
He couldn't help but get goosebumps. Sure enough, the person had been right; this python skin was indeed a tinea.
The next second, Liu Yihang froze on the spot again. He took two deep breaths and held onto the railing next to him to keep himself from losing his composure.
If no one were here, he thought he might scream.
The green color follows the blemishes, indicating a fine jadeite has emerged.
They were right again.
Beneath the blemishes was another piece of old mine glass-type imperial green jadeite.
Moreover, the size of this imperial green jadeite was so large that he couldn't even finish looking at it at a glance; it was a full meter long, half a meter wide, and a meter high.
His 20-centimeter spherical imperial green jadeite sold for a full 55 million, although there was a premium, it was originally worth 30 to 40 million.
How much is this huge piece of imperial green jade worth? I doubt you could spend it all in several lifetimes.
Liu Yihang was incredibly excited, but unfortunately he didn't even have the right to bid, and he couldn't afford it either; the bidding price for this rough stone probably wouldn't be cheap.
The next second, he thought of Miao Cuihua.
Although he wasn't qualified to bid, Miao Cuihua was.
Miao Cuihua had just lost her business partner and could only watch helplessly as Wang Haisheng and his son won the bid.
If I'm willing to cooperate with her and win the second bid together, I can not only help Miao Cuihua curb the arrogance of the Wang family, but also make a lot of money together.
Miao Cuihua had always wanted to bring down Wang Haisheng and his son, and this was an excellent opportunity. Of the two rough stones, one was alive and the other was dead.
If the Wang family were to win the bid for the No. 1 rough stone, not only would they be unable to seize the opportunity to dominate the jade industry, but the value of that rough stone would likely cripple their company, making it difficult for them to recover.
With his own X-ray vision, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to snag the No. 2 rough stone?
Thinking about it this way, Liu Yihang suddenly understood. This was a sure-win deal, but unfortunately he couldn't tell anyone else. He could only watch the show alone. Being invincible was truly lonely.
So he hurried downstairs and found Miao Cuihua: "Sister Miao, can I speak to you in private?"
"What's wrong?" Miao Cuihua led him to the garden and found an open space where they could talk without being overheard.
"Sister Miao, how much capital do you have on hand right now?"
Miao Cuihua glanced at him but didn't think much of it.
"The only cash I can come up with right now is 60 million."
"Are you still interested in winning the bid for the top spot?"
"The top bidder? Of course I want to, but 60 million is simply not enough to win the bid. I can't find a more suitable partner right now, so I have to give up."
"Why don't we try to buy a few more high-quality rough stones? That way, the trip won't have been in vain. You can also help me take a look; I won't treat you badly when we get back."
"Sister Miao, I have an idea, but I don't know if you'd be willing," Liu Yihang said shyly.
What are your thoughts?
“I also have 60 million in funds and I want to buy the top bid with you, Sister Miao,” Liu Yihang said directly.
He just sold the Imperial Green jadeite for 55 million, and he already had more than 6 million.
So coming up with 60 million is no problem at all.
Miao Cuihua's eyes lit up instantly, and she clapped her hands. That's right, how could she have forgotten about Liu Yihang, this rich man?
It's like searching for a lantern while carrying one.
If the two of them pool their funds, they should have no problem winning the bid for the most expensive property.
She hadn't expected Liu Yihang to be willing to contribute money with her to win the bid, since Liu Yihang wasn't from the jade industry.
