The stone cutter was peeling the skin while the large piece of jade pushed by Pi Xiaoqian was also being cut.
"A big gain." Another stone cutter shouted.
On the cut surface, three pieces of dazzling green jade shone like spring grass.
Ice-grade, pure positive green, about twenty kilograms.
"Good heavens, how much is this piece of material worth?" Liu Hui exclaimed, unable to contain herself.
She clearly remembered that a pair of bracelets in the shop cost thirty-eight million.
How many pairs of bracelets could be carved from these jade pieces? She couldn't imagine.
"Anyone want it?" Pi Xiaoqian asked. "Thirty-eight hundred million and it's yours."
At this moment, an old man stepped forward, looked closely, and asked, "Are you selling this stone separately?"

"Anyone else?" Pi Xiaoqian pointed to the other half.
A man about as stout as Pi Xiaoqian leaned in to examine it closely and asked, "How much for this piece?"
"Two billion."
"The other person just finished picking, and this piece is still two billion?"
"Honest dealings. How do you find this material?"
"A little less. I'll take it if you lower the price a bit."
"Two billion less fifty million. Pi Xiaoqian said, "Brother, since you've spoken, I genuinely want to give it to you, so I'll give you fifty million off."
"Nineteen billion, and it's mine."
"Alright. Deal." Pi Xiaoqian said readily.
Selling it separately earned him one hundred million more than selling it as a whole piece, which was better than keeping it.
Pi Xiaoqian, knowing when to stop, immediately
