Chapter 54 Unearths Top-Grade Purple Jade
Tian Zhenzhen's somewhat childish words were clearly beyond the comprehension of the shrewd and calculating Wu Zhenglong.
"The future belongs to us young people, Wu Zhenglong. I don't know how you are feeling. If I find some top-quality jade later, I hope you won't be too upset."
"Hmph, nonsense. Since you're so confident, hurry up and cut the stone."
"Very well, if you're so eager to see my glory, then I'll show you today."
Wu Zhenglong felt that communicating with Tian Zhenzhen made him feel suffocated.
He suffered more anger today than he did in a whole year.
At this moment, Wu Zhenglong really felt a tightness in his chest, which was caused by Tian Zhenzhen's anger.
He took a few deep breaths and felt a little better. He was waiting to see Tian Zhenzhen make a fool of herself today.
"Stop talking nonsense. You're not just trying to stall for time, are you? Let's see who's the real clown tonight after we cut the stone."
Wu Zhenglong no longer wanted to waste time arguing with Tian Zhenzhen; he desperately needed to slap her in the face.
Believe it or not, Tian Zhenzhen thought the same thing.
Tian Zhenzhen didn't do it herself. She asked for a pen and drew a few lines on the raw stone, then asked the stone cutter to draw according to her requirements.
"Master, cut it well. I'll give you a big red envelope after the price surges."
"Alright, watch closely." Stone cutters have heard this kind of talk many times.
But there's no such thing as a jade gambling business that only goes up and never goes down, so he just took it as a joke.
If he's really lucky, he might receive a big red envelope.
As the stone cutter finished speaking, the machine started to turn, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
"Do you think Miss Tian is too confident? Not only does she believe that the No. 6 jade stone is worth more than 9 million, but she also personally drew the line."
Could she possibly be more experienced than the stonecutter?
"I think she's just putting on a show. Once the stone is cut open, if its value is less than 900 million, I'll see how she can still have the face to stay in Yue City."
"That's not quite right. I think Miss Tian is very confident, and maybe she really does have that ability."
I still hope Ms. Tian can win, so as to dampen Wu Zhenglong's arrogance.
Wu Zhenglong has done a lot of bad things over the years; he stole several of my businesses from me.”
"Shh, keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid Wu Zhenglong will hear you?"
Wu Zhenglong watched the commotion from the sidelines. When he saw Tian Zhenzhen drawing lines on the raw stone, he thought she was just making a fuss. Did she have X-ray vision?
It allows us to know the internal structure of a stone.
As time went by, the stone cutter had already made a cut along the lines drawn by Tian Zhenzhen. Although one side hadn't been cut open yet, the appearance of the stone inside could already be seen.
After being rinsed with water, the cut surface began to glow purple.
"It's purple! This color must be top-grade purple jade!"
Upon hearing what the stone-cutting master said, many people gathered around to watch.
The cut surface was indeed purple.
Moreover, judging from the color, it is indeed a top-quality purple jade.
"Could it be that Miss Tian really made the right bet? If such a large piece of rough stone is of such top-quality purple jade, the price would be more than double, let alone 9."
"I knew Miss Tian had an extraordinary demeanor. Since she dared to gamble, she must have had the confidence to do so."
Young people these days are amazing! They're bold, capable, and rich—you can't help but admire them!
"Aren't you all making your claims too early? We've only seen one cut so far. If this is all the purple stuff we see, Miss Tian will suffer a huge loss."
"You're right. One cut can make you poor, another can make you rich. This cut might bring out purple, but who knows what the next cut will bring?"
Amid the murmurs of the crowd, the stone cutter's hands began to work busily once again.
Wu Zhenglong's expression wasn't too good. If the stone that Tian Zhenzhen opened was a whole piece of top-grade purple jade, it could really be worth more than 9 million.
"Mr. Wu, we originally estimated the value of this rough stone to be within 6 million, so it's not surprising that it contains purple jade."
The veins on this rough stone aren't very good, and it has many cracks. Even if it's top-quality purple jadeite, it won't change its size.
The speaker was the jade craftsman who was with Wu Zhenglong, and his words carried considerable authority.
Hearing his words, Wu Zhenglong relaxed a lot.
However, when the stone cutter cut open one side of the rough stone, he actually cut out a whole strip of purple jade. The jade master had said that the pattern underneath was not good, but he still cut out purple jade, which directly proved him wrong.
"Didn't you say that the rough stone had many cracks underneath and wouldn't yield purple jade? Now explain to me what's going on?"
The jade craftsman hadn't expected that such a poor environment would yield such a high chance of producing purple jadeite; it was practically a miracle. He could only grit his teeth and say:
"This may just be a coincidence; only the surface layer is covered with jade, and it's impossible for a whole piece of purple jade to grow inside."
"Hmph, I'm supporting you with tens of millions every year. If you make me lose today, see how I deal with you when I get back."
Wu Zhenglong was clearly no longer as calm as he had been at the beginning. He was just putting on a brave face and even took out a cigarette to smoke.
Seeing that he was smoking uneasily, Tian Zhenzhen couldn't resist making a few sarcastic remarks.
"Wu Zhenglong, I'll give you a chance to admit defeat. You've seen my raw stone. If you kneel down and kowtow to me three times now, and call me 'Ancestor,' I'll let you go this time, how about that?"
Tian Zhenzhen's suggestion was purely meant to disgust people, and given Wu Zhenglong's temperament, he would never agree to it.
Sure enough, Wu Zhenglong's face turned even uglier than if he had eaten shit after hearing her words.
He already had a fierce look, and now that his face was so pale, those close to him knew that Wu Zhenglong was truly enraged.
But Tian Zhenzhen wasn't afraid at all. Since she had already offended him, she might as well offend him thoroughly.
It's not something she can fix by saying a few nice words.
"Tian Zhenzhen, aren't you getting a little too cocky? It's not certain who will win or lose yet."
"Really? I thought I would win from the beginning, but Wu Zhenglong, your mind is in turmoil. It seems you're not very confident!"
Just wait and see how I win, hahaha!
Tian Zhenzhen laughed wildly, making Wu Zhenglong increasingly uneasy.
He looked away and stopped talking to Tian Zhenzhen. He had already made up his mind that no matter what the outcome was, he was determined to take Tian Zhenzhen's life today.
Thinking of this, he stubbed out the cigarette with his hand, ignoring the fact that the cigarette butt was still burning.
As time went on, the true nature of rough stone number six was revealed to everyone.
"Such a large piece of top-quality jadeite, so smooth and lustrous, it's truly exquisite! It's so beautiful!"
The one speaking was the jade craftsman next to Wu Zhenglong. As a true jade lover, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration upon seeing the original appearance of the jade.
Just one sentence from him made Wu Zhenglong react like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, causing him to bristle.
Startled by Wu Zhenglong's glare, the jade craftsman trembled with fear and then quickly covered his mouth.
How could he forget about Wu Zhenglong as soon as he saw the fine jade?
"Mr. Wu... it's me."
"shut up."
Wu Zhenglong didn't want to hear anything from him right now. His gaze fell on the uncut jade stone. Seeing such a large piece of top-quality purple jade, Wu Zhenglong knew he had lost.
Completely defeated.
"Given the appearance and size of this top-quality purple jade, it's worth at least 20 billion."
Miss Tian is truly remarkable; she has an exceptional eye for opportunity. She bought it for 900 million, and if she resells it, she could make over 1 billion!
Many people are genuinely envious, admiring Tian Zhenzhen's keen eye and envying that she can make over a billion yuan just by reselling.
Although the people attending the auction today all have some assets, more than a billion is still a considerable sum for them.
"Ms. Tian, I wonder if you are selling this piece of jade? Our Fushun Jewelry is willing to buy it for 21 billion."
"Ms. Tian, we are willing to offer 21 billion."
"9.15 billion."
.....
You should know that bringing back such a large, top-quality purple jadeite would be a major event that would shake the entire jade industry.
When the time comes, using it for advertising will surely make them a fortune.
If you're talking about business people who come here, they've already figured out how to market this piece of purple jade.
