Chapter 980: Chapter 979 Golden Eye? More like a dog’s eye!
After the last highlight rough jadeite was sold, the auction had completely come to an end.
Of course, everyone still hadn’t left.
That’s because they all wanted to see the final stone cutting session.
The rough jadeites that everyone bought were not immediately cut, but were all cut together after the auction ended.
At the moment, all the rough stones were placed on the auction stage!
And the cutting masters were already in place.
At this time, everyone’s eyes were on the two top-grade raw stones that Huang Jie had bought.
They all wanted to see what kind of jade would come out of his two pieces of rough jadeite!
Huang Jie’s complexion was also very solemn at this moment.
For his two pieces of rough jadeite, he spent 50 million on the first piece.
The second piece cost him 800 million!
In total, that was 850 million.
Even for him, this was the biggest gamble of his life.
"Haha, Tang Jun, Lin Dong, I still won against you guys! As long as both my top-grade raw stones come out as Imperial Green, then their value will definitely exceed 850 million!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jun’s face looked very ugly.
He had come with a purpose this time.
He had wanted to buy a top-grade raw stone, cut the best jade out of it, and make it into a Buddha statue for his grandma’s birthday. Little did he expect that both top-grade raw stones would be bought by Huang Jie.
He didn’t manage to buy a single piece of rough jadeite during the entire auction!
Now it looked like he could only use the 80 million to buy a finished product.
But buying a finished product was a loss.
Already feeling terrible about this, Tang Jun was further mortified by Huang Jie’s mockery.
However, at that moment, Lin Dong’s voice rang out again:
"You still think you can make a profit? Acting like a top-tier fool and feeling so proud..."
"Shut up! Do you understand raw stones?" Huang Jie yelled at Lin Dong furiously. It wasn’t for Lin Dong’s interference that he would have paid such a high price of 800 million for the second piece.
Lin Dong spread his hands: "I don’t."
"If you don’t understand, then why the hell are you blabbering?" Huang Jie snorted coldly, "Soon you’ll see for yourself what ’Golden Eye’ means!"
"My Golden Eye has never been wrong!"
Saying so, he walked up to the first piece of rough jadeite, looked at it for a long time, and finally drew a line on it with a black marker.
Then he said to the cutting master:
"You cut along the line I’ve drawn!"
"Be careful when cutting and don’t ruin my Imperial Green!"
The cutting master quickly nodded: "Yes!"
As for the others, they all widened their eyes and remarked:
"This is the Golden Eye, rumored to never be wrong!"
"And wherever it cuts, green comes out!"
"We are about to witness the birth of two top-grade pieces of jade..."
"..."
Everyone had heard of Huang Jie’s stone gambling legends, calling his eyes the Golden Eye. And every time he cut a stone, he would draw the line himself.
This line drawn by him was also called the ’Golden Line’.
A line worth more than gold!
The cutting master, with nerves on edge, began to cut the stone with the cutting machine.
"Crack, crack, crack~~~"
Stone chips flew everywhere, and with one cut, there wasn’t the expected green light filling the air.
Instead, a white fog formed in the crack that was being cut.
The crack grew larger and the noise became more grating until the stone split in half.
The surfaces of the two separated pieces of stone both displayed a greyish-white color!
Forget Imperial Green, there wasn’t even ordinary jade!
Both sides of the cut were waste stone!
"It’s collapsed! It’s a waste stone!" someone exclaimed.
And Huang Jie’s face turned even paler as he muttered, "No, impossible. How could this top-grade rough stone collapse!"
"Quick, keep cutting!"
Huang Jie obviously didn’t believe in bad luck and let the cutting master continue the cut!
The rough stone, which had been split into two, was then cut into four pieces.
But the result was the same.
The cut surface was still the grayish-white of waste stone!
"Cut!"
Then, it was cut into eight pieces, sixteen pieces, thirty-two pieces!
But the outcome remained the same.
There was no point in cutting any further!
The result wasn’t going to change anymore.
"Golden Eye has faltered!" At this moment, someone said, "That young man was right!"
"This piece of rough stone isn’t even worth three million."
"That’s not all, it’s not even worth three hundred!"
Huang Jie’s face grew uglier, he glanced over at Lin Dong before grinding his teeth and saying:
"I still have one piece of rough stone left, I will not lose!"
"This piece of rough stone weighs half a ton; as long as I can cut out more than half of Imperial Green, I can still win!"
At the moment, he pinned all his hopes on the last piece of rough stone.
Seeing this, Lin Dong scoffed, "The second rough stone is only worth twenty million, I said it."
"You’re talking shit..." Huang Jie exploded with a curse, then walked over to the final rough stone and circled it cautiously for a long look.
It took him a long time to draw a line.
"Cut it like this!"
The cutting master was also nervous; he nodded and began cutting with trepidation.
Just as the cutting started, it was filled with a green luster...
Seeing this, Huang Jie was overjoyed, he pointed at the rough stone and shouted at Lin Dong:
"Gape with your dog eyes, is this Imperial Green or not?"
However...
His joy lasted no more than two seconds before the green that filled the crevices of the original rough stone suddenly dimmed.
Huang Jie’s face turned pale; he suddenly felt unease.
The noise from the cutting machine grew more and more irritating.
But the green emerging from the crevices became dimmer and dimmer.
A second later, it disappeared entirely, showing the white fog of a waste stone just like before.
"This is bad!!!" Huang Jie’s face turned ashy white.
It was at this moment that the piece of rough stone was finally cut open!
"Bang!"
The rough stone split into two pieces and fell to the ground on its sides; from the cut surface, it could be seen that, apart from a layer of Imperial Green on the exterior, everywhere else was grayish-white!
It was indeed exactly as Lin Dong had said!
This was a fake waste stone!
"Golden Eye has faltered again!" someone exclaimed.
Tang Han burst into laughter at this moment, "What Golden Eye? I think a dog’s eyes are more like it! Brother Dongzi’s eyes are the real Golden Eyes!"
"Whatever he says, it is!"
At this moment, everyone’s gaze turned towards Lin Dong, their eyes filled with admiration and shock.
They thought to themselves, who exactly is this young man? He was so precise, whatever he said was right!
As for Huang Jie, he still refused to believe the bad luck and wasn’t disheartened.
He shouted crazily at the cutting master, "You damn well keep cutting for me!"
The cutting master dared not disobey and continued cutting.
Eventually, they were close to hacking the rough stone into ten thousand pieces.
But no other jade was found!
It was truly just like Lin Dong had said; only a superficial layer of Imperial Green, worth at most twenty million!
By now, Tang Jun couldn’t help laughing aloud.
"Huang Jie, you’re such a top-tier fool. Spending 850 million for this?"
He laughed, but there was also a sense of relief—he was glad that he had listened to Lin Dong, not continuing to bid on the first rough stone.
Otherwise, if he had won it, the top-tier fool now would have been him!
