Chapter 794: Seven hundred eighty-nine Old-pit Glass Jade

Hearing about the hype over the Jade King, Gu Zhen decided to go over and take a look.

He was quite curious about what this thing actually was.

He especially wanted to understand what the Jade King actually did.

He followed the crowd and walked over.

After almost half an hour had passed,

he saw a crowd gathered ahead, wondering what they were doing there.

At that moment, Gu Zhen curiously glanced over.

When he got closer and took a good look,

he still couldn’t make out what it was.

It was only when he got even closer that he could see that stone cutting was in progress.

The so-called stone cutting is really just slicing open the rough jade stones that haven’t been cut yet.

And gambling on stone is inextricably linked with stone cutting.

As the saying goes, one cut leads to heaven, another to hell.

If the cut reveals green, then it’s basically hitting the jackpot.

But if there’s nothing after the cut, it’s a complete loss.

So stone cutting is often accompanied by heart-pounding excitement.

Invariably, there would be a large crowd of onlookers at such a scene.

"Did you all see clearly? Are you sure it’s a piece of stone selected by the Jade King?"

"I witnessed it with my own eyes, the Jade King picked it as if at random from a roadside stall, and look, the stall owner is still standing there."

"Any piece selected by the Jade King, upon cutting it open, is worth millions."

"You’re thinking too small, I remember last time the Jade King casually picked a piece, and it turned out to be worth more than four million. It really made many people envious at that time."

"If only I had the Jade King’s ability, I’d be set for life, earning money while laying back."

"But come on, if you had the Jade King’s ability,

you wouldn’t have to worry about making money at all, and whatever you desired would be yours.

Even if you wanted something sour today and something sweet tomorrow, there would be countless people bringing you things."

All the onlookers were discussing this, and each of their faces seemed to show a bit of envy.

To them, the very existence of the Jade King seemed almost terrifying.

But when you think about it, it’s not hard to understand.

After all, there were many who wanted to court someone with the Jade King’s abilities.

However, it’s easier said than done.

In any industry, becoming the apex of that industry’s pyramid is very rare.

This person right in front was clearly one of those rare cases.

The Jade King, at this moment, was absorbed in examining the piece of stone he had chosen.

Many people around him were serving him tea and water, acting as if they were attending to the emperor.

Gu Chen had been silent the entire time.

He had never seen such a scene before, so he observed with curiosity.

After watching for a while, he had pretty much understood.

This old pit glass type jade looked just like a natural wonder, a magical work of art.

At this time, everyone was discussing very animatedly.

"If you ask me, it’s definitely going to be glass type again this time."

"Correct, I also think it’s probably glass."

"It seems like for such a long time, everything the Jade King has cut has been ice type jadeite."

It was at this moment that the stone-cutting master gradually revealed the true face of the stone.

A very clear stone slowly came into view.

Shining under the moonlight, one could even see the colors emanating from the stone’s surface.

All the people present were startled at how quickly the stone emerged before their eyes.

Clearly, it seemed everyone hadn’t quite grasped what was happening.

It appeared that they were shocked by the color of the stone, and at this moment, Gu Zhen obviously didn’t quite understand what had happened yet. However, from the cheers of the people around, he could roughly guess that it must be the emergence of high-quality goods.

"Forgive my poor eyes, I don’t dare to be certain, but is this ’old pit’ glass?"

"The quality is too good, this surely isn’t as simple as a few million."

"I didn’t expect to have the fortune to see such quality today, it’s truly rare."

"Jade King lives up to his name, being able to present such fine stuff, those eyes are really sharp."

"This is definitely top-notch goods, it’s a done deal now."

At that moment, everyone present couldn’t help but burst into applause and exclamations of awe. It’s safe to say that everyone was shocked.

No one had expected that a casual pick at a roadside stall could turn out such high-quality goods, which even they couldn’t have selected with careful choosing.

"Jade King, congratulations, congratulations. This ’old pit’ glass-type jade, conservatively estimated, is probably worth seven or eight million."

A man dressed in expensive clothes came forward, congratulating with a bow.

However, the Jade King seemed very modest as he waved his hand low-key.

"This isn’t anything special, it’s just common market goods."

Though he acted modestly, his words were anything but.

After hearing this, many couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

What did he mean by that? Everyone understood; it was an overt show-off.

Goods worth millions, possibly even tens of millions.

Only the Jade King could dare to call such items common market goods.

And indeed, the Jade King did have the capabilities to back it up.

Even though everyone heard it, they couldn’t really say anything, after all, this was his livelihood.

Moreover, he had been in the business for so many years, making a name for himself.

So at this moment, everyone could only admire and respect him.

Beyond that, no one had anything else to say.

After all, what more was there to say at this point?

Almost everyone was happy, except for one person.

And that person was the boss who had just sold that piece of stone material to the Jade King.

He had calculated everything but had not expected that there would be a piece of ’old pit’ glass type in his collection of stones.

When the Jade King came over to select materials just now, he knew this piece was not simple.

So he had even boldly asked the Jade King for a whopping 1.5 million.

Back then, the Jade King didn’t say a word and just paid the money.

At that time, he just thought that he had made over a million.

No matter how good the stuff that came out, it would be just that.

In his view, even if the Jade King made a profit this time,

it would be just a few hundred thousand at most, and he was extremely satisfied with that.

But he had never imagined that this stone would turn out to be an ’old pit’ glass type.

The value soared to eight million!

Based on his current sales of these lackluster stones, he didn’t know how many lifetimes it would take to sell one like this.

He was extremely regretful; if only he had known it would be like this.

When the Jade King asked him how much for this material, he would have been better off not naming a price.
