Chapter 635 - 662: 3.2 Million (II)
Chapter 635: Chapter 662: 3.2 Million (II)
Suddenly, many people started talking.
"Really lucky, this quality, looks like it’s not a loss!"
"And this size looks substantial, probably going to make a profit!"
"If I’d known earlier, I would have boldly bought it!"
"Do you have the money for it?"
"No..."
"Then why are you talking nonsense!"
Meanwhile, Shangguan Hong was staring intently at the portion that revealed green, not saying a word.
The shop owner didn’t speak either. Even though some green was seen, for experienced hands like them, they couldn’t be careless.
After all, this still wasn’t the decisive moment.
No one knows whether it’s green behind this green?
If by chance it’s brittle in nature and has a rough structure, then it’s not of much value.
To the onlookers here, they were mostly amateurs.
Next, the stone-cutting master took a deep breath and carefully began to cut the stone.
At this moment, his movements were more cautious, fearing he might damage the jade inside. Sometimes just a small mistake could mean losses of hundreds of thousands.
Of course, as old hands, if they’re careful, there’s usually no problem.
As the stone-cutting blade kept moving, that little green spot gradually grew larger before everyone’s eyes. When it was the size of a fist, Shangguan Hong breathed a sigh of relief,
"It’s done!"
Meanwhile, the small-mustached shop owner felt a pang of pain.
Because now one could judge that the jade inside was worth at least above a million.
Moreover, it was that type of imperial green.
This color is very alluring. If likened to something, it’s like the tender tip of boxwood sprout just emerging in early spring, possessing a vibrant green, with a slight hint of yellow.
In the world of green jade, it belongs to the more high-end stuff.
From a value perspective, it’s quite a bit inferior to high ice type.
Shangguan Hong said to Lin Xi, "Brother-in-law, we made a big profit this time!"
"Just from the size of what’s cut out, it’s at least fist-sized, and it’s imperial green, great color, the texture is very fine, just a little less plump!"
"Otherwise, its value would be even higher."
"Nevertheless, I’m quite satisfied to have cut out this kind of jade!"
Lin Xi nodded thoughtfully, he suddenly thought of a method to make money, using the X-ray Vision to see inside the stones and then let Shangguan Hong assess the value to decide whether to buy or not.
Such a method, really isn’t considered gambling on stones anymore.
However, today it can’t be used because it’s reserved for the auction.
According to Shangguan Nishang, the items in the auction are much more expensive than those outside, but there are also uncovered treasures outside in the shops.
Just like that twenty-eight million high ice type, even if placed at an auction, it’s quite good.
Then another bit of green was cut out, followed by stone.
For an experienced stone-cutting master, this posed no difficulty.
That’s why the speed was much faster, less than ten minutes later, a bowl-mouth-sized irregular jade, five centimeters thick, appeared before everyone’s eyes.
At this point, anyone with even a little knowledge about jade could judge the significant value.
Before Shangguan Hong could speak, the small-mustached shop owner said first, "Hey kid, how about selling this for 3.2 million?"
But he quickly corrected himself because he saw Shangguan Hong’s face darkened when he called him kid.
So, "Hey handsome, think about it, you’re an expert yourself, you know this thing is worth at most that price!"
"There are so many people here, I wouldn’t rip you off!"
Among the crowd, there were several with decent vision, who quickly chimed in,
"The shop owner looks clever, but he’s fair in business!"
"Indeed, the value is around three million."
"Bought for one million, in less than half an hour, earned 2.2 million, what a profit!"
"If it were me, I’d sell!"
Actually, another reason why the small-mustached boss didn’t dare rip off Shangguan Hong was because of the Black Gold Card.
Shangguan Hong didn’t respond immediately, instead he looked at Lin Xi and said boastfully, "Brother-in-law, what do you think, I still have great insight!"
