Chapter 69 Two Dogs (1/2)

Then, Qian Duoduo replaced the two stone-cutters to cut the stone. He was very careful, as if he was afraid of hurting the jade.

Half an hour later, a black jade about the size of a basketball was presented to everyone. Qian Duoduo took a basin of clear water and poured it on the stone. Suddenly, the black jade became clear.

Under the lamplight, the veins on the black jade were clearly visible; some were like mountains, some rolling rivers, some natural ink paintings, presenting a unique image.

Qian Duoduo threw the basin on the ground and exclaimed, ”Oh, my God, this is the best quality black ice ink painting seed!”

The crowd was also amazed. Black ice jade was extremely rare. Many people only heard its name, but never saw it. Today, it was amazing to see such a large piece of black ice ink painting seed.

Sun Dingguo was thrilled at first, and then he became distressed at the thought of his gamble. Compared with this excellent black ice ink painting seed, his jade was nothing at all.

While everyone was amazed, someone suddenly said, ”Tianda, what's this ugly black thing? It must be worth nothing. Bring me those two dogs.”

It was Zhou Cuicui who spoke. Even Feng Tianda was ashamed of her ignorance. He wanted to stay away from this silly woman immediately.

Qian Duoduo took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. He stood up and looked at Zhou Cuicui, thinking of how stupid the ugly woman was. As the younger sister of the Jade Gang, she didn't even know about black ice jade.

In fact, it was not surprising. Zhou Cuicui was the only family of Zhou Tianhu, the Jade Gang master, since their parents died long ago. After gaining power, he did not let Zhou Cuicui participate in the affairs of the gang. She was drinking, eating and playing everyday, so she did not know much about jade.

One of the crowd asked, ”President Qian. Tell us what is black ice jade and what is a black ice ink painting seed.

”Well, I'll tell you about it.” Qian Duoduo cleared his throat and said, ”Black ice is a kind of ice jade. Some people call it black jade. The ancients once called it Black Chicken.

”Black originally meant the dirty color of jade, so its value had been relatively low for many years. However, in recent years, the situation has changed fundamentally; the price of black ice jade has risen sharply, and has not reached its peak yet.

”The first reason is that black ice jade is extremely rare; the quantity is very small. When a thing is scarce, it is precious. Second, it is because people find that black jade can produce a unique sense of a Chinese painting because of its diversity, and different species had different effect.”

The man in the crowd asked again, ”Chairman Qian, so how to judge the grade and value of black ice jade?”

”Black ice jade is divided into five grades according to its purity, uniformity and shade. According to the appearance of this black ice jade, pure and rich black distributed evenly. It belongs to the best grade.

”In addition, the value of black ice jadeite depends on whether it has a pattern. The kind that has a pattern is called black ice ink painting seed. If the pattern is obvious, that people can see at a glance the effect of an ink painting, then it is of the best grade.”

Speaking of this, Qian Duoduo pointed to the black ice jade in front of him and said, ”Look, this black ice jade has pure and evenly distributed color. The most important thing is that the pattern is very clear. It is like a magnificent ink landscape painting. So I confirm it is the best black ice ink painting.”

There was a sudden uproar among the crowd; all of them marveled at Qin Haodong's good luck. That little white dog had actually chosen such an excellent jade for him.

Someone couldn't help asking, ”Chairman Qian, how much is this black ice ink painting seed worth?”

Qian Duoduo said with emotion, ”The value of black ice jade is rising day by day, which is not easy to evaluate. At last year's auction in Hong Kong, someone bought a piece of black ice jadeite for 20 million yuan. And that one was absolutely inferior to the one before us in terms of quality.

”If Little Qin is willing, I would like to offer thirty million yuan for this jade.”

”Thirty million... God, thirty million... Tomorrow I will bring my dog with me to see if I can find a three million jade!”

”It's so annoying that a dog has chosen such a good stone. I've been in the industry for so many years, now even a dog is better than me...”

”Feng Dashao is not as good as a dog, and even the experts he invited are not as good as a dog, let alone you...”

Hearing the comments around them, Feng Tianda and Sun Dingguo were quite embarrassed. It made sense to lose a gambling game, but it was ridiculous to lose to a dog. They were too ashamed to face anyone.

Qian Duoduo looked at Qin Haodong and said, ”Brother, I'd like to pay thirty million yuan for your black ice ink painting jade. To tell you the truth, the price is not very high. But I can only pay so much money.”

Although he was the president of the Jade and Stone Association and had made a lot of money these years, but most of the money had been used to buy precious stones, which he stored at his home. He only had around forty million yuan in cash; with ten million yuan he had been spent just then, leaving only thirty million yuan.

Qin Haodong had a good impression of Qian Duoduo. Seeing that he spoke sincerely, he said, ”Since you like it, just take it!”

”Great. Thank you, Brother Qin,” Qian Duoduo said happily, giving a check of thirty million yuan to Qin Haodong. The price of this black ice ink painting seed was about 30 million yuan now, but there was absolutely a lot of room for appreciation. He would make a big profit from it.

After paying the money, he suddenly remembered that he still had the responsibility as a referee, so he hurriedly declared, ”The result of this round of gamble has come out, and Qin Haodong won.”

People could tell the result even if he did not announce it. Although Sun Dingguo's jade could be worth millions, it was still not comparable to the black ice ink painting seed which was worth 30 million yuan.

After the announcement, Qian Duoduo handed Feng Tianda's thirty million check to Qin Haodong without hesitation.

Many people were red-eyed. The two stones chosen by the dogs were sold at 40 million yuan in the blink of an eye, and he won another sixty million yuan in his bet. The young man earned money too fast, no wonder people were jealous.
