Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Is it another useless rock?

Bang!

The huge stone split into two halves under the sharp cutting machine, and then the stonemason instructed his assistant to separate the pieces.

Suddenly!

A brilliant radiance shimmered forth from the cut surface of the stone.

Everyone hurried to look.

Once they clearly saw what was inside, continuous exclamations erupted, and everyone’s eyes showed surprise!

It was indeed another piece of imperial green ice jade.

However, this piece of stone was much larger and of better quality than the one Xiao Zheng had previously cut.

The stonemason was also amazed, and after a careful inspection, he said, "This piece of jade is huge, a rough estimate would put its value at no less than nine million!"

Wow!

Everyone gasped again.

Nine million! A jadeite of this grade, even looking nationwide, was rare. They had not expected Wang Renze to cut such a piece!

He had bought this stone for more than seven million, and the jadeite that was cut out was worth more than nine million. Just like that, in the exchange, he had made a profit of over two million!

If managed well and carved by a master sculptor using this piece of imperial green ice jade, the value might be even higher!

"It seems my luck is not too bad."

Having cut such a stone, Wang Renze remained very composed, exhibiting an air of calm confidence reminiscent of Taishan collapsing without changing color.

This made many socialites’ eyes light up.

"Xiao Zheng, now it’s your turn."

Afterward, Wang Renze said to Xiao Zheng with a light smile.

Everyone also looked towards Xiao Zheng.

In their eyes, there was a hint of sympathy. Was there any need for this contest to continue? Xiao Zheng could almost be said to have already lost!

The stone Xiao Zheng had chosen was just an ordinary one. Even if he cut out some precious jadeite, it could not possibly compare to Wang Renze’s top-quality imperial green ice jade!

"Hahaha, just thinking about it excites me. If you lose, you will owe nine million! Hahaha, I wonder how you’ll come up with that much money!"

The young man who had previously lost the stone bet with Xiao Zheng laughed gloatingly.

"Xiao Zheng..." Mo Anna also looked at Xiao Zheng with some worry.

"No worries."

Xiao Zheng just smiled lightly, appearing to have everything under control, "It’s too early to talk about winning or losing now."

"Heh heh, it seems that you won’t turn back until you hit a wall."

Wang Renze sneered.

Xiao Zheng ignored him and said to the stonemason, "Please help me cut the stone."

The stonemason agreed and immediately instructed his men to secure Xiao Zheng’s stone before starting to cut it with the machine.

He, too, adopted a bifurcation technique, splitting it down the middle!

This wasn’t just a random cut. All such raw stones had peculiar patterns on their surface, and experienced stonemasons knew how to use these patterns to find the right direction to cut.

This stonemason, famous throughout the entire stone-gambling world for his rich experience and bold courage, went straight for a cut down the middle! This carried a great risk as it could easily shatter the jadeite.

Whir whir whir...

As the machine hummed deeply, everyone watched tensely.

Even though they all believed Xiao Zheng had undoubtedly lost this time, the most characteristic aspect of stone gambling was that nothing was certain until the stone was actually cut!

There might be a significant reversal at any moment.

Boom!

Finally, with a loud bang, the stonemason split the stone in two right down the middle!

"Is there jade?"

Everyone looked forward eagerly.

The stonecutter shook his head and pointed to the stone, saying, "This is a waste stone, there’s no jade inside at all."

The crowd was stunned.

Then they all looked at Xiao Zheng with a weird gaze.

Such luck was really against the heavens!

Bad to the extreme!

You must know, the stone Xiao Zheng chose was worth four million; even if his luck wasn’t good, the emerald cut from it should still be worth several hundred thousand.

Who would’ve thought, it was just a piece of waste stone!

Mo Anna’s face also turned slightly pale, four million gone just like that, to say it wasn’t painful would be a lie. However, she didn’t regret it!

"Hahaha, Xiao Zheng, you lost!"

The young man who had gambled on stones with Xiao Zheng laughed aloud.

"Brother Xiao Zheng, it seems your luck isn’t that great."

Wang Renze also smiled and shook his head. In fact, he had been a little nervous at the start, since this was gambling on stones and accidents could happen, but now he was no longer worried, Xiao Zheng had actually cut out a waste stone!

"Heh."

Xiao Zheng merely smiled faintly and said to the stonecutter, "This stone isn’t fully cut yet, right? Why don’t you continue?"

The stonecutter frowned slightly and said, "I’ve been cutting stones for many years, and basically, if a stone that’s been cut open from the middle doesn’t show even a trace of green, then it’s definitely a waste stone!"

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "There’s always exceptions, aren’t there?"

"Hahaha, Xiao Zheng, failure is failure, what’s the use of desperate struggling? I think you should just admit defeat gracefully, it would look a bit better for you."

The young man who had previously gambled on stones with Xiao Zheng continued to ridicule him.

Surrounding people also started jeering, "Yeah, what you’re doing is just obstinately clinging to your own course, it’s useless." "Just admit defeat to Mr. Wang graciously."

"Hehe, I reckon he doesn’t dare. After all, once he admits defeat, he will have to pay nine million."

Xiao Zheng looked at them with a smile and said, "Idiots."

"You..."

All of them were momentarily stunned.

Then fury burst forth from every orifice, they were absolutely livid!

Pfft.

Suddenly, laughter erupted from within the crowd. The sight of these young masters being dumbfounded by Xiao Zheng’s insult was indeed comical.

Once the first peal of laughter sounded, the rest of the people also began to laugh, even the mayor of Zhonghai City and CEO Barry’s lips slightly curled. This made the group’s countenance look even worse.

"Hmph, stonecutter, just continue cutting, I want to see if he can still be laughing when it’s all over!"

A young master among the crowd sneered.

The stonecutter nodded and said, "Since you all insist, then I’ll cut it one more time, but I should warn you, it’s almost certain nothing will come out of it."

He was quite confident in his profession.

"Go ahead," Xiao Zheng said lightly.

The stonecutter picked up the stone-cutting machine again and cut towards the remaining stone; the buzzing sound continued, and quickly the stone was also cut open.

This area, teeming with people, was extremely curious to see the result as they pressed close to where the stonecutter worked, wanting to see how it turned out, whether there was jade or not!

"Still nothing."

After inspecting for a while, the stonecutter announced loudly.

"Hahahaha..."

Laughter full of ridicule burst forth from the crowd, mainly from that group of young masters involved in stone gambling, who were mocking Xiao Zheng.

"Now you can admit defeat, right?"

Mo Anna’s face was also turning pale, utterly despairing, "Could it really just be a waste stone?"

Wang Renze looked at Xiao Zheng with a playful gaze.
