Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Wei Hongjun’s Conditions
"Young man, how about selling this Ice Jade to me? I’ll offer fifty thousand!"
A jewelry businessman with a beer belly immediately called out his bid.
His eyes were sharp, and he had already noticed that this piece of jade was extraordinary; he wanted to snap it up before Ye Xuan had fully revealed it.
People like him in the jade gambling business are called "bargain hunters," aiming to coax such freshly-greened jades from their owners!
Because, if it were to be fully polished and its true value as Ice Jade found, its worth would skyrocket. And now was the best time to act.
Besides this jewelry businessman, others also gathered around, showing interest in this piece of Ice Jade.
"Young man, I’ll offer sixty thousand! Don’t polish it anymore, just sell it to me."
"Not bad, this small Ice Seed is easy to damage when polishing. It’s better to sell it to us while the price is rising, I’ll offer seventy thousand!"
"Don’t listen to them! I’ll offer ninety thousand, sell it to me!"
"..."
Suddenly, the bidding noises around were intermittent, and more and more people joined in the bidding process.
These jewelers had keen eyes, all recognizing the unusualness of this piece of Ice Jade. Especially its bright color, as translucent as glass, undoubtedly a top-quality Ice Jade.
Seizing the moment to bid and get a bargain, then releasing it into the market for a big profit!
Many jewelers held this thought, trying to trick Ye Xuan, this young man who ’didn’t understand’ stone-cutting.
"Not selling!"
Their cunning plans were transparent in front of Ye Xuan; he simply replied with two words and let the old master continue polishing.
"Alright!"
The old master, excited, wiped the sweat from his hands and carefully polished the outer surface of the stone, afraid to break the Ice Jade inside.
At this moment, Zhang Jun’s face looked somewhat ugly; he never expected Ye Xuan to actually pick up a bargain!
"Damn, this kid is just damn lucky! Out of a pile of scrap, he managed to find Ice Jade."
Although he said so, his family was in the jewelry business, and he coveted the Ice Jade right in front of him.
If taken back for processing, this quality of Ice Jade could surely make a huge profit!
"Hmph, lucky indeed! But even if it’s Ice Jade, it’s only a few tens of thousands, this kid is still a bumpkin."
Zhang Jun felt displeased inside, snorting softly, continuing to watch the old master at stone cutting.
Meanwhile, Liu Ying was also astonished, not expecting Ye Xuan to really foresee this, finding a treasure in what seemed like waste stone!
Indeed, this guy never loses, always so confident, accomplishing a tremendous turnaround when everyone else was doubtful!
"Look, the Ice Seed has been unveiled!"
Just as Liu Ying was stunned, a cry of surprise came from the crowd.
She looked up in a daze.
The old master held the piece of Ice Jade, the outer stone material was now gone, now fully polished.
Placing this piece of Ice Jade under the light, it immediately became crystal clear and dazzlingly brilliant.
It appeared as clear as ice, without a trace of impurities!
Seeing this, the surrounding jewelers were also shocked, their eyes gleaming with sharp light.
"Oh my God! This... this isn’t just Ice Jade, this is premium Ice Jade!"
Many people here were experts in jewelry, recognizing at a glance that this was definitely premium Ice Seed.
Because such a lucid color could only belong to premium Ice Seed!
Premium Ice Seed is second only to Glass-type Jade in terms of quality, with an extremely delicate and pure texture, positioned between Glass-type Jade and Ice Seed.
It is an extremely rare type of jade that commands a high market price and is popular among esteemed ladies.
"Two hundred thousand! I bid two hundred thousand, I want this premium Ice Seed!"
"Young man, premium Ice Seed is not worth two hundred thousand! I’ll bid three hundred thousand, how about selling it to me?"
"Go to hell, I’m bidding five hundred thousand! No one dare compete with me!"
However, seeing that the polished jade was actually premium Ice Seed, everyone’s eyes shone brightly and they started madly grabbing for it.
The price surged again, increasing by about tenfold, fully proving the status of this premium Ice Seed in everyone’s hearts!
Watching these jewelers competing against each other, Zhang Jun’s face looked worse than if he had eaten excrement.
His heart was filled with incredible jealousy and envy towards Ye Xuan! To have such good fortune to uncover premium Ice Seed.
But he could do nothing but watch helplessly.
"Is it actually premium Ice Seed?"
Liu Ying’s red lips slightly parted, and her charming face was full of disbelief.
Her eyes, looking towards Ye Xuan, sparkled with radiant fascination.
"One million!"
Just then, a loud shout arose, overpowering all other sounds at the scene and suppressing many other bids.
Following the direction of the voice, the bidder was none other than Wei Hongjun, who had been silent until now!
This price surprised many people.
Logically speaking, although premium Ice Seed is extremely rare and favored by those who cherish beauty, the size of this particular piece was too small. Even if it were processed and sold on the market, it would be worth at most seven or eight hundred thousand!
Wei Hongjun’s current bid already exceeded the value of the Ice Jade itself, which was somewhat unreasonable.
Many people frowned, slightly puzzled as to why Wei Hongjun would buy this Ice Jade at a loss.
Even Ye Xuan, upon hearing this bid, showed a look of astonishment.
According to his estimate, this piece of Ice Jade could sell for six to seven hundred thousand, which would be quite good!
Yet unexpectedly, Wei Hongjun acted so lavishly, starting the bidding at one million!
"Young man, I am willing to pay one million for this piece of Ice Jade."
Wei Hongjun smiled slightly as he stepped forward and spoke.
Ye Xuan’s eyes flashed but he didn’t hastily agree. He knew that since the other party offered such a high price, there must be some demands attached.
Indeed, at that moment, Wei Hongjun, undisturbed by the curious gazes around him and not even looking at the jade he was bidding on,
fixated his eyes tightly on Ye Xuan, his face breaking into a smile:
"However, I have a small condition. I hope the young brother can help me choose another raw stone!"
Wei Hongjun’s luck today had been extremely bad.
However, having wrestled through the jewelry industry for so many years, his ability to judge people was sharp, even ruthless.
From the beginning, he had been quietly observing Ye Xuan and found that this young man was extraordinary. Faced with everyone’s doubts and ridicule, he remained calm and composed.
Especially that inherent confidence and aloofness, as if he was detached from everything, exhibiting an air of ’while everyone is drunk, I alone am sober’!
Such people were either feigning composure or truly mavericks. In his view, Ye Xuan was the latter.
This made him more convinced that this young man was no ordinary person!
