As everyone held their breath and watched intently, the cut was finally completed. The moment the cutting machine stopped, everyone looked at the stone cutter.
"How about it?"
The stone cutter wiped the sweat from his forehead, poured a bucket of water on it, and ran his hand across the side of the cut surface.
There was no need for the stone cutter to answer; everyone had already seen the truth.
This cut revealed its true nature; the remaining two-thirds of the stone was actually a complete piece of glass-type jadeite from top to bottom.
I have never seen such a complete glassy variety without any inclusions.
The colors are very pure from top to bottom, with the colors at the top being lighter and becoming more intense towards the bottom.
Many people exclaimed in surprise when they saw the green underneath.
"Could it be imperial green jadeite underneath?"
The experienced Third Master Huang stepped forward and carefully stroked it with his hand, then shook his head.
"It's not imperial green, it's somewhere between imperial green and glassy green."
The quality is already excellent, the color is very pure, and the texture and clarity are particularly good.
No cotton, no cracks.
It's gone up!
Huang Sanye's shout immediately drew gasps from the surrounding crowd, who swarmed around him.
Many people carefully examined the cut, and envy flashed in everyone's eyes.
Yaka excitedly jumped around the rock, his face beaming with smiles and his eyes sparkling.
He was captivated by the stone, but at the same time, he threw it down and ran towards Ouyang Zhenyu.
"Little Jiang, Brother Jiang, how are you so amazing?"
I knew I should have listened to you; it was the right thing to do.
This is the first time I've ever seen such high-quality glass-type jadeite. I've gambled on so many stones in my life, and even when I went to the mines to pick stones, I never found anything like this.
Brother Jiang, you are my benefactor, you made my lifelong dream come true.
"Brother Jiang, I'll share half of this stone with you."
Ouyang Zhenyu hadn't expected Yaya to be such a sincere person. This chubby boy was so young, yet he was so genuinely devoted to him.
"No need, no need, it's just a matter of a word. Actually, I don't even know if we can find anything in this stone."
It was just a gambling instinct; most importantly, you were very lucky.
"That's all thanks to your luck, it's absolutely incredible. It has nothing to do with me. It was just a matter of talking."
Yaka was a little disappointed when she heard this.
"No, Brother Jiang, if you hadn't told me, I would never have bought this stone."
If you hadn't told me to cut it, I probably would have sold it to that Mr. Wan for 350,000 just now.
In short, you're the one who helped me with this luck; without you, I wouldn't have been able to choose this stone.
"Anyway, we agreed that I would give you half of the money from selling the stones."
By the way, Brother Jiang.
Since you're here, why don't you come to my house as a guest? I'll tell you, my family owns five mines.
My father, my brother, and my grandfather all did this job; our ancestors have all done this job for generations.
I'd like to invite you to my home. My father would certainly give you a warm welcome if he knew how capable you are.
The chubby boy's words left everyone around speechless; everyone knew who Yaka was.
He's somewhat aloof in the local area, even though this chubby guy is a bit dim-witted.
They always throw money down the drain when it comes to gambling on jade.
But that chubby kid has connections. His grandfather, father, and brother are all big shots, and they are absolutely famous in the area.
Do you think someone who can contract five mines is an ordinary person?
The armed forces he has organized alone number at least 500 people.
The local armed forces are fully armed, meaning they have weapons and convenient means of transportation.
In places like this, you simply can't protect a mine without weapons.
It's conceivable that three generations of this family could support so many people as their henchmen, which gives you an idea of how powerful the other party is.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhenyu immediately had an idea.
He had been thinking about either bribing the sheriff or going to Dazhi.
But unexpectedly, Yaka suddenly appeared. This chubby guy was completely unexpected, but he was surprisingly strong.
It really was an unintentional act that led to this unexpected result; my actions just now were completely unconscious.
The main purpose was to provoke Jun-ge and attract other people's attention, so as to divert attention from the matter of cutting out the stone later.
But I never expected it to play such a huge role at this moment.
The chubby guy genuinely considers him a friend, and Jun-ge certainly wouldn't dare mess with the armed forces under his command.
He nodded immediately and said.
“Great! I’ve never seen a mine before, and I’d love to see what one looks like.”
"Okay, okay, you wait here, I'll make a call, they'll come pick us up before dark."
Yaka excitedly rubbed his chubby little hands together and immediately ran to make a phone call.
The crowd gathered around the stone, chattering amongst themselves, each with envy in their eyes.
Master Huang was somewhat taken aback and slightly raised his head to look at the young man standing to the side.
This young man has performed unremarkable from the beginning until now, without being particularly impressive.
If cutting out those two small stones made people like him, it was only because of luck.
No one would think that earning money is some kind of extraordinary ability.
But when this kid casually pointed it out, it actually worked!
This is not just a matter of luck; it must be due to genuine skill.
Master Huang was delighted, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Ouyang Zhenyu as if he were looking at a beautiful piece of jade.
After all, it's not easy to find experienced people in this industry.
They hired many skilled master craftsmen in their shop, but they were all in their fifties or sixties, and some had worked in the mines their entire lives.
He lived in the mines almost from birth until he was old enough to work, when he started moving stones for others in the mines.
Then, from moving stones to cutting them, you gradually learn how to select stones, all of which require time and experience.
I've never seen such a young man cut a stone with just a flick of his finger.
Master Huang's mind raced.
The only thing that could be considered was that this young man might be a descendant of some powerful family.
They have been carefully nurtured, which is why they have such abilities at such a young age.
Such young people may be here to gain experience; they don't seem like isolated teenagers from an ordinary village.
Therefore, it's probably best not to delve too deeply into the background of this young man.
But befriending such a person means befriending his family.
Doing someone a favor now is like gaining another friend and opening up more avenues for your future.
For the first time, Master Huang felt a sense of goodwill towards his simple-minded nephew. This silly boy really was blessed with good fortune.
That's how I met Ouyang Zhenyu.
Most importantly, Ouyang Zhenyu also agreed to go to the mine with him, and the two young people had a lot in common.
If they can establish a relationship, they will definitely interact more frequently in the future. With the help of the young man's backing, it would be a piece of cake for him.
