Chapter 170: Green

"Haha, since you really want this stone, take it for thirty dollars." said the boss.

"Thirty yuan? It's so expensive, boss. You also said that the performance of this stone is very poor. Can it be cheaper? How about fifteen yuan?" Shen Ruoqing bargained with the boss with a smile.

Although this price is just a drop in the bucket for Shen Ruoqing, the stone is small and its appearance is not good, but he still asked for thirty yuan. It is obvious that the boss gave them a random price because he thought they were not knowledgeable about the business.

"Thirty yuan is not expensive. You have to know that all the gambling stones are shipped from Myanmar. After the gambling stones have changed hands several times, the price will naturally go up. If this stone is placed in Yunnan, Guangdong or other places close to Myanmar, you can buy it for a few yuan, but in Zhonghai, its price is low, and we have lost money. No matter how poorly the gambling stone performs, it is still a gambling stone. It may contain jade, but it cannot be compared with ordinary stones." The boss explained.

"Then this stone isn't worth thirty dollars, right? I don't even know what it will look like after it's cut. How about this, I'll raise the price by three dollars, how about eighteen dollars? This number sounds nice and auspicious. Do you have a place to cut stones here?"

"Okay, okay, little girl, I think you are destined to be together, so I will sell it to you for 18 yuan. The place where the stone is cut is on the right side, in the most crowded place. There are stone cutters and grinding wheels there, which can be used to cut stones. If you buy stones from me, you can use the tools for free. If you want my people to help you cut the stone, that's fine too, just pay a small fee."

Shen Ruoqing smiled and took out some money from her small bag: "Thank you, boss."

Hearing that this small stone only cost 18 yuan, Mu Bai did not rush to pay. After paying, Shen Ruoqing followed Mu Bai directly to the place on the right where the stone was cut.

There were really a lot of people over there, but Mu Bai relied on his strong body and squeezed in with Shen Ruoqing.

Before I looked up, I heard people around me sighing.

“It collapsed…”

“Yeah, with one cut, it split in half and it turned out to be a pile of shit, it really collapsed.

"Haha, that's how gambling on stones works, it's all in vain."

…

Shen Ruoqing looked up and saw a man in a Dacron shirt standing next to the stone cutter, staring blankly at a dozen pieces of gravel of various sizes on the ground. It was obvious that he was the one who failed in the stone cutting.

At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward, patted the man in the Dacron shirt on the shoulder, and said, "Gambling on jade is like this, one cut can lead to heaven, one cut can lead to hell. If jade was so easy to find, everyone would go to gamble on jade. It's only a few hundred dollars, and you probably wouldn't care about this little money."

He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "It's just a few hundred dollars. I won't take it seriously."

After saying that, he went downstairs.

"Mubai, this stone is for you, go and help me cut it. Um... right here, cut it first." Shen Ruoqing and Mubai looked at several people cutting stones in the crowd, but they were all defeated. Most people cut it by themselves, and it was rare to see someone pay others to cut it. Maybe they thought it would feel better to cut it by themselves. But Shen Ruoqing looked around and saw that every person cutting the stone was covered in dust. Shen Ruoqing liked to be clean, so he let Mubai go.

"good."

Mu Bai took the stone handed to him by Shen Ruoqing. At this time, someone had just finished cutting the stone and no one was going up to continue, so Mu Bai could cut the stone directly.

The stone chosen by Shen Ruoqing was shaped like a melon. Following her instructions, Mu Bai began to fix the stone in the position Shen Ruoqing mentioned and used a grinding wheel to rub the stone.

Sizzle...

The stone skin was rubbed into dust, which filled the entire stone cutting machine. The people watching on the side stared at the gambling stone without blinking.

"It's foggy. This stone is so bad, but it can be rubbed to produce fog. There is probably jade in it. The price will go up if it is cut."

"Yeah, the boy is really lucky."

"It's green, it's green."

"It looks like it has good water content, as if it is icy material, and it will increase in price."

Mu Bai scooped a bowl of water from the bucket beside him and poured it on the stone. The part that was rubbed against the stone suddenly appeared bright green.

"Ruoqing, it's green." He was the one who got the stone out himself, and Mu Bai looked very happy.

"Don't be in a hurry. We have only scratched the edge and haven't solved it completely yet." Shen Ruoqing still had a smile on his face.

"Young man, this piece of material has increased in value after being rubbed green. I'll offer you 250 yuan. Will you sell it?" said an old man in his 50s.

"I'll give you three hundred yuan, buy it for me." said a slightly fat man.

"Hey Fatty, why are you everywhere? I'll give you three hundred and fifty dollars." The old man in his fifties said angrily.

"Four hundred yuan. Haha, Boss Huang, you like this material, and so do I. Let's bid, and the highest bidder gets it." The fat man smiled and added another fifty yuan.

Mu Bai looked at Shen Ruoqing.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It was then that the two men realized that the stone belonged to the teenage girl.

“Haha, little girl, the performance of this rough material is very poor, but it has produced green. No one knows how big the jade is inside it. You have already made a lot of money with 400 yuan.” The fat man laughed.

Shen Ruoqing said with a smile: "Excuse me, bosses, I just want to be quick and I want to completely solve this stone."

After hearing this, Mu Bai continued with what he was doing.

He carefully fixed the gambling stone and picked up the grinding wheel to rub the stone. Stone cutting is a delicate job and if you are not careful you will damage the jade inside and cause its value to plummet.

After more than ten minutes, Mu Bai finally took out the entire piece of jade. A piece of jade that was slightly larger than two eggs came out, emitting a rich green color.

At this time, the people around were also staring at the jade in Mu Bai's hand, with burning light flashing in their eyes.

"Little girl, this piece of jade has good water content. It's high ice material, and it's a positive green. It's a pity that it's not glass type, otherwise it would be much more valuable. I'll give you four thousand yuan for this piece of jade." The fat man sighed.

“Hmph, Fatty, what are you thinking about? If this green is of glass type, it would not be called Zhengyang Green. It should be called Imperial Green, which is at least ten times of your bid. Little girl, I will offer four thousand five hundred yuan for this piece of jade, which is not low.” Boss Huang snorted coldly at the fat man.

"Of course, the glass-type imperial green jadeite is the top grade jadeite. It is difficult for an ordinary jeweler to see a piece of it in his lifetime. However, I still want to fight for this piece of jadeite. Five thousand yuan." The fat man said with a smile.

Both of them looked at Shen Ruoqing.

Shen Ruoqing sighed in his heart, this gambling on stones really makes you rich overnight. The stone bought for 18 yuan was sold for 5,000 yuan in the blink of an eye after being cut. It has increased by more than 270 times.

"Excuse me, bosses. This is my first time gambling on stones. I want to keep this stone for myself as a souvenir."
