Ling Yun used a flashlight to peer through the blue-and-white pattern of the original stone and observed the situation inside. He muttered, "The green that comes through is nice, but I wonder if it's just the skin that's greening."
Ji Bailin took a look with the help of the flashlight and said, "Brother Ling, the green is showing through. It must be jadeite. Let's bet on this one."
"What do you know? No one knows how much this green has eaten. Maybe he is just a green who relies on skin. Ruoruo, come and take a look?"
Ling Yun whispered in Du Ruo's ear: "Is your sixth sense working now? Is it working right now?"
Du Ruo's eyes were filled with a smile, and she said slowly: "I don't know either. How about you place a bet first, and I'll try it out to see if it works or not?"
Ling Yun's eyes were full of confusion. He looked at Du Ruo and said, "You have to try this thing now? That's too useless. I'm not saying anything bad about you. For unlucky people like us, even if we try it a hundred times, there's an 80% chance that we won't find a useful cheat code."
Du Ruo nodded indifferently and said, "You are quite right."
She also felt that her golden finger was not powerful enough. If it were a little more powerful, why would she set her sights on Boss Yuan?
Ling Yun sighed. This unlucky guy was still an unlucky guy no matter how many times he was reborn. He suddenly felt a little sad.
Looking at the crowd holding the number signs, Ling Yun suddenly became energized and rushed forward with his sleeves rolled up.
No matter what, I'm still alive, right? Being alive is a victory.
Du Ruo looked at all the ten rough stones to be auctioned on the platform. The champion had really put in a lot of effort. These ten rough stones looked very similar. They all had bright and shiny appearances and seemed to have a high possibility of being green. Judging from the appearance alone, they were actually indistinguishable.
She simply stopped doing anything and stood aside to watch. After a moment, she figured out what was going on.
Jadeite No. 3 performs averagely, but it has inner beauty, at least it is a glass-type imperial green.
Ling Yun was an expert at gambling on stones. He picked out rough stones number three and eight based entirely on his own strength. He ran over to Du Ruo and asked, "Show me this time. Which one should I choose?"
This guy is not reliable in other things, but he is an expert in gambling stones and bronzes.
"Number three."
"Sister, there's no green on number three, are you sure? Brother Ling, I think the number one you just looked at is pretty good."
Ling Yun glanced at him with disdain: "You are a foreign student, but you have no taste at all. That number one is most likely a swindler, just like you, superficial and unreliable."
Ji Bailin...
He did study abroad, but he didn't learn how to gamble on stones! How come the surface is so shiny?
Ji Bailin was furious. He rushed to the betting table and shouted, "I'll bet 100,000 on number one."
Du Ruo...
There was silence in the audience, and everyone looked at Ji Bailin in surprise. Where did this local tycoon come from?
Others secretly murmured, "Could it be that rough stone number one really contains top-grade jadeite? Why not buy number one myself?"
The boss was happy. How good is a local tycoon? Aside from the initial opening, how long had it been since I'd seen such a powerful local tycoon? So touched, the boss happily waved his hand: "Buy 100,000 and get 10,000 free. It's just 110,000."
Du Ruo, she really wanted to call her silly brother back. Even if she bought 100,000 and gave 1 million, it would be useless. Listen to people's advice and have a full meal. For this kind of thing, you have to listen to the words of people in the industry. Ling Yun's judgment was right. Number One is really a green-skinned person with a smooth surface.
Ji Bailin came back triumphantly holding a handful of lottery tickets and generously handed half to Du Ruo: "I'll give you half. We'll go collect the prize together later."
The corner of Du Ruo's mouth twitched: "Thank you, you should keep it for yourself."
Ling Yun glanced at him with disdain, then ran to the bottom of the stage and shouted, "Number three, give me 100,000."
The boss was so happy that he almost jumped up. What day is it today? Why are there so many local tycoons here?
The boss waved his hand and said loudly, "I'll give you a discount too. Buy 100,000 and get 10,000 free."
This time Du Ruo smiled. The boss had to pay the price this time, and he would regret it soon.
Under his brother's resentful gaze, Du Ruo resolutely bought number three for 200,000 yuan. The boss was so happy that he said his face was so rosy this morning. It turned out that this was the day he was supposed to get rich today.
At exactly eight o'clock, the auction began, and as expected, number one became the most popular item. With good performance and high bets, it was bound to succeed.
What? You said number three has a higher bet, number three is no good, it's not good-looking enough, who knows which foolish local tycoon is messing around?
The boss made a lot of money from the No. 1 raw material and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
When it came to the rough material No. 3, it was much quieter, with few people bidding. In the end, this rough material and the usual price fell into Du Ruo's hands. Ling Yun didn't care about this rough material at all. He was playing for the heartbeat of the gambling process and had no obsession with the rough material.
Ling Yun has been playing with stones for two lifetimes. Although his passion for gambling on stones remains unabated and he still loves it, his enthusiasm is long gone.
Ji Bailin was different. He was young and energetic, and he felt very embarrassed after being ridiculed by Ling Yun. The last time he came here with his friends, he just took a quick look. This was his first time to place a bet, so he was very excited.
If Du Ruo hadn't pulled him back, he would have definitely competed with others for the No. 1 rough stone to the end. Unfortunately, his sister would have stopped him, and Ji Bailin regretfully failed in the end.
Now they were about to start solving the number one rough stone. Everyone was so excited that the shouts were deafening. Ling Yun said in a low, cold voice, "A bunch of idiots."
Ji Bailin waved his fists and cheered for the number one rough stone desperately. He shouted until his voice was almost hoarse, which gave Du Ruo a headache. This is a rough material. If there is jade inside, it will be there even if you don’t shout. If there is white cotton inside, you can’t turn it into white cotton even if you shout until you lose your voice!
Ji Bailin didn't care. He not only cheered himself on, but also pulled his sister along.
The result was already determined. There was only a little green on the surface, and the inside was full of white cotton, which was very dazzling.
Ji Bailin looked depressed. It was not because he felt bad about the money, but because he felt so bad about losing the bet. However, he was a smart and studious boy. Since he failed this time, he would sum up the lesson and start over.
Ji Bailin thought that he could develop the jade jewelry business, killing two birds with one stone. Besides, his sister was a jade carving master, so he could ask her for more advice.
While he was thinking about how to start his business, the No. 2 rough stone also failed in the bet. He lost two rough stones in a row, one of which was the most popular. The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a little cold.
Especially those who lost the bet, they were all listless, only a few who bet on rough material No. 3 were still looking forward to cutting the stone.
