Chapter 200: Chapter 149: Blue Jade, Yi Dao comes with Sui Yi!_2

"Ha, it’s Blue Jade! I’ve revealed Blue Jade!"

Their proud demeanor soured the likes of Elder Lin and Yu Quan, let alone Li Yuan and his cohort.

They were nearly apoplectic with frustration.

Damn it, there’s no justice in this!

A five million gamble gone down the drain, and a five hundred thousand one hit the jackpot!

Is this for real?

Amidst the commotion, Zhang Guangbiao and his men quickly and efficiently extracted the Blue Jade, and since they had cut directly through the jade flesh, it was clearly visible as the size of a palm, so everyone could see it clearly.

"The water’s not low at all, this piece of Blue Jade is quite splendid, and so translucent; there’s definitely a large amount of jade flesh underneath"

The term ’water’, as many people knew, referred to the translucency of jade, but few knew what ’jade flesh’ meant, which simply refers to the size of the jade mass...

After a while, the jade flesh was fully excavated, revealing just how large the piece of Blue Jade was.

It was the size of a cantaloupe, just like Sui Yi had described.

That was quite substantial.

The jewelers present pondered over this Blue Jade for a while, then began to offer prices. Elder Tang wasn’t much for jewelry, being an antique enthusiast and all. He enjoyed jade cicadas with historical significance, but wasn’t keen on jade, so he decided to sell.

A few people bid, resulting in a high offer of two million two hundred thousand!

"These years, the younger generation has money, and they have a particular fondness for unusual jade colors like Blue Jade. As the tide rises, the boat lifts. Buying it won’t be a loss!"

Sui Yi took note of this as well – it seemed that no matter the item, its value also depended on market demand...

Elder Tang had a successful Gate-opening ceremony for his own local Nanxun Commerce Association; everyone was quite joyful, their spirits also buoyed, and they looked upon Sui Yi, who had previously spoken up in support, very favorably.

The praise was nonstop.

Sui Yi wasn’t too concerned about it but went along with Zhang Guangbiao’s suggestion and placed her own raw stone onto the jade cutting machine.

In truth, this piece of jade wasn’t lacking in size either; after all, you could see green through a mere two centimeters of surface. Sui Yi had estimated that there was likely to be a piece of jade the size of a volleyball inside.

The color was also right on.

Unless one started by cutting the skin and polishing the stone, any cut would unavoidably damage some of the jade flesh.

Sui Yi didn’t demand perfection, and she knew better than to reveal too much about herself. Perhaps, after this piece of jade was cut, she might need to do some explaining...

Zhang Guangbiao was quite optimistic about Sui Yi, "Miss Sui has previously increased the value through cutting and is also very knowledgeable about antiques. She is a rare talent. Of course, her luck is also extraordinarily good. I wonder if she wants to try her hand at cutting herself?"

He had just made several unsuccessful cuts on Elder Tang’s rough stone and felt that he had lost face. He worried about more mishaps and losing face completely, which was why he invited Sui Yi, the owner, to have a go.

Of course, his previous comment was also very sincere.

Upon hearing this, Sui Yi blinked, "Can I do it myself?"

"Of course, it’s just like satisfying the urge to do it yourself. I reckon with Miss Sui’s luck, you’re guaranteed to see green if you do the cut!" assured Zhang Guangbiao confidently.

Elder Tang and others were in high spirits, having suppressed Li Yuan and his gang. They had no particular expectations for Sui Yi’s raw stone and knew that Sui Yi would sooner or later follow their path. It was good for her to practice boldness.

"Go for it, Sui Yi... it’s all part of the experience. Girls often lack a bit of boldness," Elder Han said with a smile.

Sui Yi smiled upon hearing this; indeed, in almost all industries, women often lack the nerve, and strong female personalities are relatively rare.

"Alright," responded Sui Yi, who was decisive by nature and disliked beating around the bush. She agreed immediately and then stepped forward to the jade cutting machine.

She looked up to see nearly a hundred pairs of eyes staring fixedly at her. Heh, it truly was a test of nerve.

"Sui Yi, you see, like this, like this..." Zhang Guangbiao started offering some instructions on the side, about to say something else,

but Sui Yi had already neatly and efficiently operated the jade cutting machine, cutting into the stone!

Kacha!

It wasn’t a cut straight through, just a slice off the edge.

A three to four-centimeter-thick corner.

Neat, efficient, straightforward.

The crowd was first astonished, then impressed by her decisiveness, and soon after, they were collectively shocked by the thin layer of green on the small cut surface.

Of course, what was more shocking was the green sheen on the side of the large, raw chunk of the main material...

The color was still quite light, but...

The skin was only slightly over two centimeters thick, and beneath it was all green!

"My God!"

"Dammit!"

"Damn!"

Elder Tang was stunned, so were Li Yuan and his group, and Zhang Guangbiao was the most astounded, his hand hovering in the air, his eyes wide open.

He hadn’t seen wrong, had he?

Though one commonly says ’better to leave a seam rather than buy a slice,’ but!

This darn slice had rather pure green!

It was pure right from the start, without any impurities, just a bit of mist on the outer surface...

Any experienced jeweler could immediately tell that there was a high likelihood of a significant amount of jade flesh inside.

Before Elder Tang and others could react,

"I’ll buy, Miss Sui, I’ll take this raw stone off your hands for one million!"

"One and a half million! Miss Sui, you’d already make a good profit!"

The others had found out earlier that Sui Yi’s raw stone had been purchased together with Elder Tang’s, each around five hundred thousand in price.

Naturally, Sui Yi could now sell it for double the profit!

"One point eight million!"

"Two million!"

Sui Yi shook her head, "Let’s finish what we started. Let’s open it all up. Mr. Zhang, if you would."

With a single sentence, she dismissed everyone. Some were a bit peeved; the girl was too greedy, not satisfied with an easy one and a half million profit and still wanted to reveal it all...

What if there was very little jade inside, or if it was mossy?

Qian Shuangyu and the others were internally cursing...(To be continued. If you like this work, please head to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
