Seeing Tan Chenghui’s face at this moment, Old Xu and the three of them felt very happy in their hearts!
I’ll let you play the fool!
They knew that 200,000 could not buy anything at all, but they did not think that Qin Li would take this as a perfunctory gesture!
It seemed that Qin Li was a broken man!
“Please wait until the final result is revealed to find out who is right and who is wrong.” Qin Li didn’t explain anything.
Because without seeing what was inside, no one would believe what he said.
Tan Chenghui shook his head, but didn’t say anything more either.
But in his heart, he was already disappointed with Qin Li. He originally thought that his eyes were still poisonous this time, but he didn’t expect that he would be fooled by a hairy boy!
But that was fine, it was only 200,000 anyway, he Tan Ji was not short of this amount of money.
“Attention all spectators, guests and participants of this jewellery competition, the betting session will begin soon, please draw lots for the first team on stage and get ready!”
“Each team is limited to three pieces of raw stone cutting, live auction trading, the final transaction amount will be the result of this team, the highest transaction amount will be the champion!”
“Please welcome the first team representing Yuancheng Jewellery, Spirit Jade Jewellery!”
The first team in the competition had already started, Tan Chenghui was putting all his confidence in Lao Xu at the moment, mainly because on Lao Xu’s side, two stones were 19.8 million!
As long as they could quadruple that figure, then their team would definitely be in the top three!
Qin Li and the others stood at the bottom of the stage watching as Spirit Jade Jewellery took a piece of raw stone that was one person high, and the size of two swimming rings.
It had already started cutting at the moment.
“Yo, isn’t this Old Tan?” A flirtatious voice came from behind them, and when Qin Li and the others turned their heads, they saw a man with a large belly, walking with his arm around a gorgeous woman in a halter dress.
Behind these two, there were also seven or eight bodyguards following them, looking full of faction.
But when he saw the visitor, Tan Chenghui was not very happy: “Mr. Qian, it’s been a long time.”
“It is a long time no see, I haven’t seen you since the last time I took a source of goods from you. But I didn’t expect that you were already that poor, and you still dare to come to the betting? What, you still don’t think you’ve lost enough?”
Qian Jinshan, the owner of Sky Jade Jewellery in Misty City. He had once been a classmate of Tan Chenghui’s, and later made his fortune in jade together, and they were already bitter rivals!
Last time, Qian Jinshan had even robbed Tan Chenghui of a contract he had negotiated long ago!
Tan Kee Jewellery, which had planned to go public, also began to fall apart from that time.
The reason for this was that after Tian Yu Jewellery took over the supply, he monopolised the market and even made it known that anyone who dared to help Tan Kee would be working against him!
In the business world, cutting off people’s money is like killing their parents, it’s a big taboo!
“Don’t worry, Mr Qian.” Although Tan Chenghui said this, his heart was still not sure.
He had been talking to his superiors for a long time about coming to the competition. Originally, Yangcheng was not set on Tan Ji, it was because he knew about Tian Yu Jewellery.
However, due to the large number of gifts Tan had given, the top management agreed to it. And this time Tan Chenghui also wanted to make a name for himself so that Tan Kee could enter the market again!
I didn’t expect that Qian Jinshan would come here to undermine him!
“Hahahaha! I just want to tell you that you don’t want to be the champion or the top three, you don’t have that kind of luck and you don’t have that kind of strength! I advise you to roll up and leave now, at least, you won’t be embarrassed on stage.”
Qian Jinshan was here to give Tan Chenghui a hard time, and with these words, he led his men to skip Tan Chenghui and walked towards the stage with a big smile.
The auction for the spiritual jade jewellery had already ended, with a total price of 10 million, which was not ideal.
At this moment, the auction had already proceeded to the fifth jewellery house, and soon this one also ended, with a much higher price than the Spirit Jade Jewellery, twenty million!
But if it really ranked to the end, it was estimated that it would not even make it into the top five.
“Mr. Tan, don’t worry, leave it to me, Old Xu, I’ll definitely crush that guy!” Xu Zhi coldly snorted.
At this moment, Sky Jade Jewellery went up.
Three pieces were quickly cut, and immediately a scream rang out, Xu Zhi immediately turned his head to look, and when he saw the three jade pieces that came out, he froze in place!
Tan Chenghui was not too shocked to see this, after all, the person in charge of picking the stones this time was the one he had gone to great lengths to find before!
He had seen how good that man was!
“Two Old Pit Glass Onion Greens, and one that is actually a Glass Imperial Green!”
The starting bidding price went up desperately, and Old Xu’s mouth slowly opened wide!
“Fifty million!”
“Ninety million!”
“One hundred million!”
Auction price, 100 million in total!
At that price, they couldn’t even double the price of their stones!
It’s over …… The championship must be lost to them!
Tan Chenghui sighed and looked at Qin Li, only to find that Qin Li still looked calm and didn’t feel the least bit pressured.
Seeing this Tan Chenghui was furious and shook his head vigorously secretly saying that he would go back and settle the money to Qin Li and tell him to get lost!
Even if you can’t buy anything for 200,000, you should at least worry about the company at this time!
What do you mean, he’s expressionless?
Tan Chenghui, however, did not know that it was not that Qin Li was not worried, but that in his opinion, the price of this Heavenly Jade Jewellery was no more than that.
The next thing that went up was the most important one that Tan Chenghui had told to pay attention to at the beginning, the jewellery houses in the city of Jiangcheng itself.
This jewellery house was founded a long time ago, and many of the goods were flown in directly from Myanmar!
It can be called the number one jewellery house in Qing Province!
This time they came to participate, putting pressure on all the jewellery houses!
Soon, all three pieces were opened, two imperial green and one hibiscus variety!
The good thing is that they are not too big and not too much higher than the Heavenly Jade Jewellery.
The price of $110 million ended!
“It’s over ……” Old Xu’s eyes had gone straight, this second one was also out of the question.
After another two had passed, it was the Phoenix Kee Jewellery House in Jade City.
The owner of this jewellery house is a woman with a devil’s body and angel’s face, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that linger everywhere.
She was standing at the bottom of the stage, staring at the stone cutting machine.
Soon, all three pieces were out, two old pit glass varieties and a rare piece of ink jade!
It fetched a high price of $90 million!
Basically the top three had been determined, and now it was finally the turn of Tan Kee Jewellers, who were the last to go.
The people below were still a little impatient, gambling on stones is an adrenaline rush and no one wants to look away.
Old Xu went up first, placed the two stones on the cutting machine, drew the lines and cut them.
Tan Chenghui was staring at the stone with his eyes fixed on it, and Lao Xu couldn’t take his eyes off it.
Only Qin Li, with a look of pity on his face, stood at the bottom of the stage and waited.
“Out of green out of green must come out of green.” Old Xu kept muttering.
Thousands of people below were currently sitting around in front of this huge high platform on one side, also waiting for the result.
Snort–
The stone-cutting machine is in operation, and a slice is made!
This first piece, the largest one, is the one with the highest price of 13 million, with the window already open!
The window is full of glass, and if it were full, it would fetch a lot of money for its size!
Huzzah!
The cutter stops abruptly and the stone is brought down with a bang, all the faces facing outwards, with or without green at a glance!
Silence!
Dead silence!
Everyone, including Old Xu and Tan Chenghui, froze.
The White Stone!
All of them were white stones!
Small enough to be the size of a fist, and not a bit of it green!
This is the real deal!
Blood loss!
Tan Chenghui only felt a rush of blood to his head and nearly fainted as his eyes went black!
Old Xu’s three faces were pale and their mouths kept moving: How could this be?
How could it be?
The people watching the scene below couldn’t help but sigh out loud, and Qian Jinshan burst out laughing!
Without pausing, the stone cutter continued to cut the next stone.
Old Xu and the others immediately looked over, this was their last hope, after all they felt that Qin Li’s moss covered stone must not be as good as theirs!
If this one stone didn’t work either, then it would be the end!
Soon the stone-cutting machine was in operation, cutting according to the grain!
A flash of emerald green emerges!
Old Xu almost cried out in excitement!
It’s green!
“It’s green!” The stone cutter shouted and poured water on it while continuing to cut the other sides.
Tan Chenghui was also resurrected from the dead, staring closely at this last straw.
But the next moment, they both froze.
The stone continued to cut and cut and cut –
Soon the whole stone was cut, even to the point where it began to be polished at the back!
But, in the end, there is only the emerald green that you saw at the beginning!
A man-high stone that ended up opening up to a fist-sized shade of onion green!
19.8 million, all gone!
Tan Chenghui finally couldn’t stand up anymore and fell to the ground with a thud!
Old Xu and the three of them were completely dumbfounded, a cold air came up from the bottom of their feet, they knew that they were finished now!
They knew they were finished!
They were so concerned about spending money that they didn’t look at the materials inside!
There was a lot of booing, but soon the crowd thought something was wrong.
It was only two.
And at this moment, Qin Li walked up with his box in his arms. He didn’t look at Xu Zhi’s three faces at the moment, but walked over to the stone cutting machine and signalled the stone cutter to cut.
But just then, a voice suddenly came from below the stage: “Old Liu, come here.”
The stone cutter immediately looked over and upon seeing the person calling him, he walked straight to the side and stood still.
What does it mean?
Qin Li froze and also looked over, and immediately saw a man below him looking at him with a sneer.
Ling Zhenyu.
Surprisingly, he was sitting in the special guest seat, and beside Ling Zhenyu, there was also a middle-aged man with a face similar to his, who should be his father.
At this moment, Ling Zhenyu looked at Qin Li smugly, with a cold smile on his face, as if to say.
This stone cutter is my man, if you want to open the stone, do it yourself, I’ll see how you can do it!
Qin Li’s eyes flashed with an icy colour, and he really walked up to the stone cutting machine himself.
At this moment, Tan Chenghui had also slowed down and nearly fainted when he saw Qin Li actually handling the knife by himself: “What are you doing!”
Qin Li ignored Tan Chenghui, he had given Tan Chenghui enough face before, but as a result Tan Chenghui had been distrustful of him.
At times like this, he did not want to pay attention to this person.
The reason why he wanted to cut open the stone was to see if there was still a touch of heaven and earth spiritual energy inside the stone.
But when Ling Zhenyu saw that Qin Li had really started to operate the knife himself, the corners of his eyes twitched and he secretly cursed.
“That person has an enemy with you?” The middle-aged man spoke.
“It’s alright dad, don’t worry about it, just a little flea, I’ll en die him soon.” Ling Zhenyu sneered, he looked down on Qin Li as if an elephant looked down on an ant!
Old Xu and the three of them also looked over at this moment, and when they saw Qin Li start cutting, they laughed bitterly in their hearts one by one.
Now, even if Qin Li’s cut out was all green, even if it was imperial green, it was useless.
After all, it was only the size of a football ball, and it was still too far from the top three!
“Stop it, just abstain, it’s useless.” Zhao Lin shook his head and laughed coldly, walking over to Qin Li to advise him to abstain.
Qin Li ignored it and instead sliced down on the drawn line!
Instantly, a deep green colour leapt into existence!
Looking at the colour, it was clearly imperial green!
And then Qin Li continued cutting, one and two slashes, all green!
In the blink of an eye, a piece of imperial green, nearly 20 centimetres in diameter, appeared before the crowd!
“It’s out of green!”
“But it’s no use, although the whole piece is imperial green, compared to the previous ones, their first two pieces are waste stones and the price is no more than the previous ones.”
“That’s right, it’s a pity.”
There were sighs all around, and many people felt that this Tan Ji’s boss was really a fool, if this young man was so powerful, why did he still let the three previous ones choose?
Tan Chenghui froze, and Old Xu’s three faces instantly turned red!
The trash they were talking about was opening up something that was worth more than what they had bought for 18 million!
Old Xu, in particular, finally knew why his boss had his eye on Qin Li.
He even thought that if all those 20 million were in Qin Li’s hands, would Qin Li really be able to make Tan remember the championship!
He finally understood what Qin Li meant when he said, as long as the three of them didn’t drag their feet!
Tan Chenghui’s heart was also full of apologies, and he even raised his hand and gave himself a big slap in the face!
He had just disparaged Qin Li!
But ……
whirled and a few people’s hearts went cold, but now it was too late!
Tan Chenghui was so disheartened that he should have started with the deadly rule that he could only let Qin Li pick the stones, and he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation!
“What is he doing?”
Just as the following started to shout out bids, Qin Li suddenly continued to make his move, moving his knife again in front of the imperial green jadeite!
“He’s cutting the jadeite jeez, is he crazy?”
Qian Jinshan couldn’t help but look over, the woman from that Feng Ji jewellery shop also looked puzzled, and even the owner of Jiang City turned his head to look at Qin Li at this moment.
Everyone in the room was baffled!
“Humph, clamouring for attention!” Ling Zhenyu sneered as he looked at Qin Li, he wanted to see what tricks Qin Li could pull off!
“Qin Li, Qin Li what are you doing?” Tan Chenghui stepped onto the stage and walked over to Qin Li and was about to stop him.
But at that moment, Qin Li stopped the stone cutter and started rubbing instead!
At this moment, Tan Chenghui, who had walked up to Qin Li’s side, froze.
Not for any other reason, he actually saw a jade within a jade in this imperial green jade in Qin Li’s hand!
That splash of bright red, as red as fresh blood!
The next moment, this smear of red instantly caught everyone’s eyes!
It was ……
Hiss-!
An inhalation of breath was heard in all directions, and everyone felt a cold breath run straight up their backs and their scalps tingle!
At this moment, Qin Li also stopped the attack in his hands and raised the last jade in his hands high: “This, is the jade chosen by Tan Ji.”
There was dead silence in the whole venue, and in just a moment, screams and shouts rose to the sky!
The scene went straight out of control!
