Chapter 101 We’re Comparing Who’s More Profligate 2(4)_1
"The jade is out! Young Master Yu’s stone has yielded jade!" As people gasped in amazement, the stone Yu Zifeng had just chosen revealed a small patch of translucent, glass-type jade.
As the surrounding stone was gradually cut away, a piece of jade about forty centimeters in size was completely revealed.
"Hahaha, Young Master Qing, my luck is quite impressive today!" Yu Zifeng laughed heartily. "Though the quality of this jade isn’t top-notch, its transparency is its winning feature."
"Young Master Yu, I’ll offer eight million for this rough stone!" Gu Weixiong shouted the moment the jade was fully uncovered.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Zifeng had made a profit of three million. Shangguan You, despite her disapproval of Gu Weixiong’s flashy display of wealth, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy as she watched Yu Zifeng make a quick three million. She wondered how much her own piece of jade was worth. It seemed that if one wanted to strike it rich overnight, one had to gamble on jade. Risk was proportionate to reward.
"Jade’s come out! The jade’s out!"
Another round of excited shouting ensued as a different Stone-cutting Master called out.
All eyes immediately fixated on the patch of brilliant green jade. Although only a small part had been revealed, it was emerald, the most prestigious of jades. Its water, its luster—everything about it was the finest of the fine.
Even a small piece of emerald within jade could command sky-high prices, let alone such a sizable piece. Everyone held their breath, their gazes locked onto the Stone-cutting Master’s movements.
