Watching Qin Xuan's receding figure, Toujou Youji did not choose to follow.
She could tell that Qin Xuan had completely lost his spirit.
Even if he left here, he would definitely not have the mind to gamble on stones anymore.
"Boss, have your people cut open the rough stone for me."
Sniffing, Toujou Youji, like a queen on high, ordered the stall owner.
The stall owner didn't care about this.
With 500 million dragon coins in hand, why would he care about being ordered around a couple of times?
He started marking.
After finding a few large cracks, the stone cutting master naturally put the rough stone into the cutting machine.
But as soon as he started cutting, his expression instantly changed.
The feel was soft and glutinous, and the sound was muffled.
With this kind of material, he didn't even need to open the machine to see, he knew there was nothing inside.
Jadeite has high hardness.
What makes such a soft and muffled sound is likely to be marble with lower hardness.
"Nothing on the first cut?!"
Seeing the marble handed over by the stone cutting master, Toujou Youji found it hard to believe.
This was the rough stone that Qin Xuan had taken a liking to, how could there be nothing inside?
"Cut again, the jadeite must be hidden inside!"
"Alright."
Since the customer requested it, the stone cutting master had nothing to say.
Finding the next large crack, fixing it, and cutting.
Sizzle...
Another muffled cutting sound.
Taking it out, it turned out to be white marble again.
"Damn, this material is half ruined!"
"Haven't seen any green yet, probably lost a fortune!"
"Yeah, it all depends on what the remaining two cuts look like. If it's all high ice full green, maybe it can be saved, but if not..."
"Heh heh, that would be interesting."
Hearing the discussions of the passers-by, Toujou Youji's face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver.
If the first cut being ruined could still be a coincidence, then with the second cut, it basically meant the material was ruined.
Toujou Youji was not stupid. After carefully recalling Qin Xuan's performance at the time, she immediately discovered the clue.
"Cut!"
"Cut out all the rest for me!"
Toujou Youji gritted her teeth and squeezed these words out of her mouth.
The stone cutting master responded.
He continued to cut and polish the remaining rough stone.
More than ten minutes later, a dazzling piece of high ice full green jadeite was handed to Toujou Youji by the stone cutting master.
As soon as Toujou Youji got it, she immediately threw it hard on the ground.
While throwing it, she roared, "Qin Xuan!"
"I want you dead!"
"Kuso!"
"Baka!"
"Baga yarou!"
"..."
Toujou Youji's "national curse" echoed throughout the exhibition hall.
And Qin Xuan was no longer aware of all this.
After he and Yu En ran out, they headed north.
Not long after, they encountered the solitary big boss, Xiao Ya.
"What's wrong with you two, you look like you're being chased?"
Seeing the two of them running, Xiao Ya was a bit puzzled.
However, she didn't pay much attention and asked them with some anxiety, "Have you two been in the exhibition hall just now?"
"Do you know if someone cut out a whole piece of high ice with floating flowers?"
Qin Xuan replied, "Yes, the quality was good, and it was eventually sold for 100 million dragon coins."
Xiao Ya heard this and felt very regretful.
"It's already been sold, as expected?"
"I still found out too late."
Shaking her head slightly, Xiao Ya was about to turn and leave again.
As soon as she turned her head, she found Yu En covering her mouth and trying to suppress a laugh.
What does this mean?
Mocking me?
Xiao Ya frowned, and her face instantly turned gloomy, "Is this matter that funny?"
Yu En quickly shook her head.
Although she was only hired by Xiao Ya in front of her and had no superior-subordinate relationship.
But when her sister faced this beautiful older sister, she always felt an inexplicable fear.
"No, no, it's just that rough stone..."
"Actually, it was Mr. Qin Xuan who cut it."
Suppressing her smile, Yu En quickly said what she had in mind.
Xiao Ya was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Could it be that this Qin Xuan, in addition to being skilled in appraising antiques, was also proficient in gambling on stones?
But these two were completely different fields!
She looked at Qin Xuan with some doubt, hoping to get an answer from him.
However, Qin Xuan just shook his head slightly and said faintly, "Just luck."
Luck?
Perhaps.
Seeing that he was unwilling to elaborate, Xiao Ya did not probe further.
It's just that she, who had been thinking of leaving alone, had a change of heart as her eyes rolled.
"There's a trade fair for jade merchants later, are you interested?"
Xiao Ya invited Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan nodded, "I can go and see."
Anyway, he came here to make more money by gambling on stones.
As for where to buy rough stones...
For him, the impact was not that great.
Following Xiao Ya around, Qin Xuan and the others arrived at the exhibition hall exclusively for jade merchants.
The rough stones here had larger windows and less gambling, making them very suitable for merchants to purchase.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the venue, Sun Liancheng, the jade expert under Xiao Ya, waved at them.
In front of him was a huge rough stone.
The rough stone weighed 3.5 tons, had multiple windows, and was priced at 35 million dragon coins.
This was a piece of material that he and two other experts had been eyeing for a long time.
However, Xiao Ya was not present, and they had no right to purchase it. So they could only wait here, waiting for the person in charge, Xiao Ya, to make the final decision.
Xiao Ya nodded, picked up a strong flashlight, and shone it professionally.
She trusted Sun Liancheng and the other two very much.
After carefully examining the windows and the texture of the skin, she immediately waved her hand, deciding to take the rough stone.
But just as Sun Liancheng and the other two were very excited, Qin Xuan stepped forward to stop Xiao Ya.
Because while she was appraising the rough stone, he also appraised it.
However, he used his ability to hear the inner voice of the rough stone: I have displayed all my best aspects!
It was obvious that this rough stone was another type of "golden jade outside, rotten cotton inside."
So, out of kindness, Qin Xuan decided to dissuade Xiao Ya.
However, what he did not expect was that this so-called kindness of his instantly caused Sun Liancheng and the others to break down on the spot, and their anger surged.
They had been looking at this rough stone for a long time.
If you, Qin Xuan, say this rough stone is bad at this time, aren't you slapping the faces of the three of us?
Thinking about it made him even angrier, and Sun Liancheng was the first to step forward and snort coldly.
"Mr. Qin, since you say this rough stone will be a loss, you must have some high opinions."
"Could you please state a reason so that we can learn from you?"
"That's right!"
"This rough stone has a fine skin and the opened windows show old texture and vibrant color. Just the opened windows alone can make at least 10 bracelets."
"Worth millions!"
"Could it be that behind such a good skin, not even 50 bracelets can be cut?"
"Please enlighten us."
The three experts, while saying they wanted to learn from Qin Xuan, were actually full of hostility.
Qin Xuan didn't know how to explain, so he could only continue to use the rhetoric he used to fool Chen Zhongshi before.
"My intuition tells me that all the value of this rough stone has already been reflected on the surface."
"If you dig deeper, you will definitely lose money."
"Heh!"
Sun Liancheng snorted coldly.
"Intuition?"
"If intuition were useful, then Miss wouldn't need to hire us jade experts!"
"Although we may not be as good as you in appraising antiques, please remain silent when it comes to jade."
Qin Xuan immediately shut up upon hearing this.
On the contrary, Yu En, with her neck stiffened, retorted excitedly, "How dare you speak to Mr. Qin like that?"
"Do you know that just now, Mr. Qin cut out several excellent rough stones in a row?"
"High ice with floating flowers, glutinous ice with full green, all of them!"
"The cutting success rate is almost 100%!"
"How ridiculous that you say Mr. Qin doesn't understand rough stones, it's truly laughable!"
Yu En's words made Sun Liancheng and the other two very surprised, but they were only stunned for a moment.
The rough stones in the exhibition hall were of higher quality than those outside. Occasionally, a burst of luck would result in cutting out one or two, which was quite normal.
Therefore, Yu En's words did not attract much attention from the crowd.
"Okay, I admit that Mr. Qin's luck is indeed good, but this does not prove that his vision for appraising rough stones is higher than ours."
"You must know that over the past few years, we have found countless raw materials for the company."
"Brought in huge profits,"
"But!"
Yu En was still unconvinced and wanted to say something, but was proactively stopped by Qin Xuan's gaze.
Because he knew that if he couldn't provide substantive evidence to prove the true value of this rough stone, he would never be able to convince Sun Liancheng and the others.
Since that was the case, why bother arguing with them?
