Chapter 55: Bid

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The crowd all wondered whether this teenage girl understood stone gambling, or if she simply didn’t care at all.

“Young lady, would you sell this raw material to me for fifty thousand yuan. Although there is a little light green color showing out, who knows if there is more inside, right? If there is no more inside, then it’ll be waste. If you sell it now, you can earn fifty thousand yuan anyway. If you don’t sell it, you’ll have nothing,” a middle-aged man in a suit, who was a little fat and about 50 years old said.

If the raw material which was cut open had green in it, the cut was called a “window”. If the owner didn’t want to gamble any further, he or she could sell it.

The buyer was also gambling of course, because a light layer of green didn’t mean the raw material would be valuable.

There was often only one thin layer of green in many raw materials, or the jade inside was very small.

But a raw material with a “window” was much more expensive than a raw material without a “window”, like the one Gu Ning had bought for two thousand yuan and the man later bid fifty thousand yuan for it.

The raw material showed green after all. It was possible that there was jade in it.

If the green layer was thin, it would be waste. If there was jade in it, it would be worth a certain amount of money according to the size of the jade.

The middle-aged man was simply trying to deceive Gu Ning. In his eyes, Gu Ning was merely a teenager and must know nothing about stone gambling.

Even if there wasn’t jade in the raw material, he could afford fifty thousand yuan.

But if there was jade inside, he could make a lot of money.

Although Gu Ning didn’t know much about stone gambling, she knew the jade in the stone must be extremely valuable. fifty thousand yuan couldn’t buy one percent of it.

“I’ll stay and gamble till the jade is all out. The most generous buyer will get it,” Gu Ning said.

The man was disappointed, but he couldn’t do anything about it.

The worker continued to cut. After the second cut, there was another layer of green shown, and the type of the jade was revealed.

“It’s valuable!” the worker said in excitement.

“The color is a little yellow. The quality is good. This is of the glutinous rice type,” the boss came over, and was also thrilled.

“Young lady, could you sell it to me in five hundred thousand yuan?” the middle-aged man bid again.

“I’ll pay eight hundred thousand yuan for it.”

“One million yuan.”

…

“Two million yuan!”

When the price rose up to two million yuan, no one else bid again. The jade hadn’t been fully cut out. It was still uncertain how big it was and how much it was worth.

Gu Ning didn’t stop them from bidding. After they finished, Gu Ning opened her mouth. “I will sell it when the jade is fully cut out.”

The jade must be worth more than two million yuan.

The worker then went on to cut the stone.

He removed the out layer first, then started to rub it.

Half an hour later, a jade which was as big as half a football was finally cut out.

The glutinous rice type was jade of a high level. It was absolutely worth a lot.

Moreover, its size wasn’t small.

“Five million yuan.”

“Six million yuan.”

“Seven million yuan.”

“Ten million yuan!” a bright voice sounded. The bidder directly omitted the three million gap.
