Chapter 405: Qi Hao’s Tragic History
Qi Hao really wanted to cry now, thinking that he would definitely be beaten up today. Seeing the master cutter really pick up the large piece of raw stone and start cutting it, Qi Hao wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. He begged Chi Shuyan for help in a low voice. “Sister-in-law, I’ll be hit later. You can’t stand by and do nothing!”
Qi Hao swept his gaze over w.a.n.g Xuewen, Lu Yunfeng, Yu Jinzhou, and the others, but no one answered him. It was mainly because if it was justified, it didn’t matter if everyone fought for him, but if he swindled someone until they lost even their pants, how could they help him out?
Lu Yunfeng glanced at the big stone and said, “Haozi, I think this stone cost at least 10 million.”
On the side, Qian Caibao was focused on the master cutting the stone. He heard part of Lu Yunfeng’s words and thought that they were discussing the price. He hurriedly said, “This raw stone isn’t expensive or anything, it’s just 31 million! If it’s green, it definitely isn’t a loss! I believe in Brother Qi!”
At Qian Caibao’s words, Qi Hao’s legs trembled.
Qi Hao felt that his luck was too bad. Should he seize the moment before the master cutter opened the stone to suggest that this kid choose another one?
Lu Yunfeng and the others were so shocked by this “31 million” that they fell silent. If the gamble failed, Qi Hao definitely wouldn’t be able to escape a beating. They thought about how this kid had opened more than a dozen pieces in a row and didn’t get any jade. This kid’s luck was really too bad!
Chi Shuyan took in the boys’ expressions and curled her lip as she glanced at the guilty-looking Qi Hao. She was in a very good mood.
The master cutter soon opened that extraordinarily large stone. Just as everyone was sweating for Qi Hao, who had brought it on himself, they didn’t expect it to really show green.
When it showed green, Qian Caibao got very excited. It turned out to be top-grade yellow jade. It had to be pointed out that there still wasn’t a lot of yellow jade in recent times, so there was a lot of room for the price to increase. Moreover, if this yellow jade was perfect enough and wasn’t a dud, Qian Caibao would definitely make a profit based on the size of this raw stone.
Someone on the side started to bid, and soon, it went from 10 million to 30 to 40 million.
When the people on the side started calling out bids, Qian Caibao grinned from ear to ear. At that moment, Qi Hao was like the Child of Wealth. With the Child of Wealth next to him, how could Qian Caibao give this treasure away?
Qian Caibao refused without thinking, and had the master cutter continue. He said to Qi Hao next to him, “Brother, don’t worry, I believe you. I know this raw stone of mine will definitely increase in price!”
Qi Hao had just heard that the stone showed green, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. However, he felt that the odds of his luck being rotten were still too high, and he was going to persuade Qian Caibao next to him to sell it quickly; if it turned out to be a dud later, it wouldn’t be Qi Hao’s problem. Before he could say anything, however, he was rendered speechless by Qian Caibao’s inexplicable confidence in his fortune. Qi Hao’s expression was indescribable.
On the side, the foreheads of Lu Yunfeng, Lu Chengfu, Yu Jinzhou, and the others throbbed, and they couldn’t look anymore.
Lu Chengfu saw that his sister-in-law had remained calm the entire time, and he asked, “Sister-in-law, do you know something?”
Chi Shuyan patted the kid’s shoulder and told him to continue watching patiently.
Sure enough!
It wasn’t long before the master cutter finished. Two pieces of especially large and perfect supreme-grade yellow jade appeared in front of everyone. It was utterly flawless, and the faint l.u.s.ter was very eye-catching.
“It actually isn’t top-grade yellow jade, but supreme-grade yellow jade! Supreme-grade yellow jade!”
