Qin Shuran was about to retort, but Chen Fan stopped her.
Chen Fan smiled indifferently and said to Qin Yuyan, "Indeed, I said that just now, but there's still one stone left to cut, isn't there? Are you all so eager for me to lose?"
Qin Yuyan pointed at the two-ton rough stone and couldn't help but sneer, "Heh heh, Chen Fan, what did you say? You said this stone is also a rough stone?"
In fact, it wasn't Qin Yuyan's fault for not recognizing it. After all, this rough stone was too large and had no exposed areas showing jade.
Its color even looked no different from rocks by the roadside. Qin Yuyan had never considered this stone to be a rough stone.
Tang Yuchen, snapping out of his shock, quickly explained, "Miss Qin, he bought this stone for one billion yuan."
"What? This is actually a rough stone?" Qin Yuyan's expression froze, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Tang Yuchen leaned close to Qin Yuyan's ear and whispered, "Miss Qin, you don't need to worry. This stone is a waste stone; it doesn't possess any characteristics of a jade rough stone."
"At the time, I thought the rough stone was a mistake by the organizers. Who knew this kid would buy it for a billion yuan."
Hearing this, Qin Yuyan's expression improved somewhat, and she sneered, "Chen Fan, you think this broken stone can yield a rough stone worth eight hundred million yuan? That's simply a fantasy."
Chen Fan remained indifferent, "Whether it's worth it or not, we'll know after cutting it."
He then looked at Qin Hongwei, whose face was grim, and asked, "Right, Second Uncle Qin?"
Qin Hongwei's face was somber. Twelve hundred million yuan meant that for their Ruixiang Jewelry, they had already made a net profit of seven hundred million yuan. This meant their plan was completely impossible to achieve.
Qin Hongwei had made so many preparations for this day, even selecting the office location for that company. But he never expected it to end up like this.
At this moment, Qin Hongwei's teeth itched with hatred, wishing he could strangle Chen Fan with his own hands.
However, with Qin Hongguo standing by, he couldn't say anything. He could only glare at Chen Fan and instruct the staff, "You all, cut this stone as well."
The staff members immediately grabbed cutting machines and approached the giant stone.
The two-ton rough stone was too large for the cutting machine, so they had to use a cutting saw.
Everyone present fixed their gaze on the giant stone, awaiting the final result.
For a full hour, using up three grinding wheels, the staff finally managed to cut the massive rough stone in half.
With a loud "clang!"
The rough stone fell to both sides, revealing the cross-section in the middle.
When the crowd saw the cross-section of the rough stone, there was a stunned silence. Everyone's mouths hung open in disbelief.
With a "thump!"
Tang Yuchen, upon seeing the rough stone, collapsed onto the ground, his eyes wide with shock, unable to believe what he was seeing.
At this moment, no one paid attention to Tang Yuchen; everyone was fixated on the rough stone.
"Gulp."
Zhao Zhihong couldn't help but swallow, stammering in horror, "This, this should be, the legendary, glass-type imperial, imperial green!"
He seemed unable to believe that this seemingly worthless giant stone could yield such a top-quality jade.
Hearing Zhao Zhihong's question, the store managers present finally snapped out of their shock and began to discuss in awe.
"This color is undoubtedly imperial green, and the clarity gives it a glassy texture even without a light. It must be glass-type."
"My heavens, this is the first time in my life I've seen such a large piece of glass-type imperial green."
"This jade rough stone alone is probably worth over three billion yuan!"
"More than three billion. Glass-type imperial green can be made into facets and bracelets anywhere. If these are made, the value would likely exceed ten billion!"
"Good heavens, a rough stone worth one billion, now worth over ten billion. This, this is more than ten times the original value!"
Ten billion!
This figure sent a jolt of shock through Qin Hongguo's heart. He couldn't help but glance at Chen Fan standing beside him.
Qin Hongwei and the others were also stunned by the sight. They hadn't expected this rough stone to yield such a top-quality jade as glass-type imperial green!
Qin Yuyan stood there, dazed, unable to recover for a long time.
"Uncle, this junior is fortunate not to have disappointed you." Just then, Chen Fan's humble voice rang out.
Hearing Chen Fan's voice, the anger on Qin Hongguo's face had long since vanished. Instead, he excitedly patted Chen Fan's shoulder and praised, "Good, good! Well done. I never expected Xiao Fan's jade gambling skills to be so formidable. You've truly impressed your uncle!"
After all, this was also the Qin family's business. Making money naturally made Qin Hongguo happy.
Chen Fan glanced at Tang Yuchen, who was slumped on the ground. "Master Tang, you must remember your words. From now on, you are forbidden from gambling on stones."
Tang Yuchen's body trembled violently. He had been gambling on stones for over a decade and had finally made a name for himself, only to lose it all now.
The once glorious Master Tang Yuchen, slumped on the ground, couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Second Uncle Qin, this junior accidentally made you earn a hundred billion. Are you still angry? Perhaps I should apologize?" Chen Fan then turned his gaze to Qin Hongwei.
Qin Hongwei's eyelids twitched violently. Chen Fan was clearly taunting him.
Sensing Qin Hongguo's displeased gaze, Qin Hongwei could only force an awkward smile. "How could I be? Earning so much money, I, I'm too happy to be angry. Right, Xiaotong."
Qin Hongwei looked at Qin Xiaotong beside him.
Qin Xiaotong finally came back to her senses and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes. We, we are too happy to be angry."
Despite saying they were happy, both of them had cursed Chen Fan countless times in their hearts.
Because they knew best that even with these top-quality jades, Ruixiang Jewelry couldn't turn the tide. Moreover, Fuding Jewelry and Laifu Jewelry were eyeing them covetously, and their annual profits were constantly decreasing. Sooner or later, Ruixiang Jewelry would face bankruptcy.
If Ruixiang Jewelry were to be ruined in their hands, it would be harder than climbing to heaven to obtain resources from the Qin family in the future.
Seeing their forced smiles, Chen Fan's lips curved into a slight arc. "Second Uncle Qin, I told President Zhou earlier that my commission is ten percent. For this jade worth 11.2 billion yuan, that's 1.12 billion yuan in commission. When would you like to transfer this money to my account?"
