Chapter 425 Chicken Feed
Qin Haodong’s decision was beyond everyone’s expectation. In their eyes, it was doomed to failure, but the handsome young man agreed.
Some people thought that Lin Momo, who was standing behind Qin Haodong, would stop him. After all, they were talking about 10 million dollars. Even if they were rich, they wouldn’t waste their money in such a way.
Unexpectedly, they were disappointed again. Lin Momo seemed to hear nothing and didn’t respond.
People were sighing. It was a pity that two good-looking people had intelligence shortcomings. It seemed that god was still fair. They had enviable appearances, but were foolish.
Li Wangcai really wanted to earn back the 5 million dollars that he had lost just then from Qin Haodong. Seeing that Qin Haodong had agreed to his request, he immediately said happily, “Are you sure?”
Qin Haodong said, “Of course I’m sure. It’s just 10 million dollars. I don’t care!”
Li Wangcai hurriedly said, “Then we should have someone to notarize this in the raw gemstone exhibition now.”
After that, he took out the checkbook, wrote a check for 10 million dollars, turned around and handed it to Mao Wenlong, who was standing beside him. “This is my check. Please notarize the bet for us.”
Actually, the raw gemstone exhibition had that project. In the past, gamblers often made bets amongst each other. The raw gemstone exhibition would provide free notarization services, but both sides of the bet should pledge their counter for gambling first.
“Mr. Qin, do you really want to bet?”
Mao Wenlong looked at Qin Haodong with some embarrassment. Qin Haodong was also the guest respected by his boss. He didn’t want to see the young man to lose the gamble, as the result could be seen at a glance.
“Of course I’m sure!” Qin Haodong then waved to Lin Momo, who immediately wrote a check for 10 million dollars and handed it to Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong sighed. Since both sides wanted to bet, he naturally couldn’t stop it. He called the staff to verify the checks of both sides on the spot. After confirming that they were valid, he made a standard bet agreement, which was signed by both sides.
After getting the bet agreement, Li Wangcai’s greasy face immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum. In his opinion, he not only took back the lost 5 million dollars, but also made another 5 million.
Qin Haodong also smiled with satisfaction. Although 10 million dollars was not a large amount of money, he wanted to see that disgusting fat man lose.
At first, many people thought that the stone-cutting was boring, but with the 10 million dollars’ bet, they immediately became interested and stood by to watch.
Some even bought lunch and sat around, eating and watching.
Unconsciously, three or four hours passed. The 20 stone-cutters took turns to work without stopping. The Suppressing River Stone, which weighed thirty or forty tons, had been stripped of its layers one after another. It was ten times smaller than the original one, leaving it only at about two or three tons in weight. Until that moment, they still didn’t see any green.
Li Wangcai was sitting, and the gorgeous woman was drinking ice water. She said, “Boy, you’d better give up, even if you grind this stone into powder, you won’t see any jade!”
Not only she, but also the people around and Mao Wenlong thought that Qin Haodong would lose the gamble.
Qin Haodong’s look was still calm. He had already felt that the Spiritual Qi of the stone in front of him was becoming stronger. He should be able to see jade immediately!
Seeing that Qin Haodong didn’t speak, Li Wangcai thought Qin Haodong had recognized his failure. After a loud laugh, he said, “Boy, you really don’t want to give up only at the sight of the gallows. I tell you, if you can find jade from this stone, I will eat it directly…”
But before he finished, suddenly a stone-cutter called out, “It’s jade green. It’s jade green. I see it!”
Before the people present reacted, another stone-cutter called out, “I also see jade green here, too!”
In a short time, there were three stone-cutters seeing the jade!
Someone took the bucket and cleaned the friction area with clear water, which immediately revealed a jade green color.
“My God, it’s a glutinous jade! How much is the price for such a large piece of glutinous jade?”
“Glutinous jade? I think it’s ice jade. Oh my God, my heart is going to jump out…”
“My God, this stone is a big jade. If I knew it, I would have dredged it long ago…”
The onlookers immediately became noisy. Some were shocked, some sighed, and some were beating their chests.
Especially those who had studied jade, they were so surprised that they almost couldn’t believe their eyes. Right then, the jade green had been seen from three different positions. What did that mean? It meant that inside the stone was probably an intact jade.
After so much cutting, the Suppressing River Stone still weighed more than one ton. Even without the stone layers, it also had nearly one ton of weight. It was still a kind of high-quality jade that was between glutinous jade and ice jade.
“God, how much is it worth? 300 million? 500 million? Or 1 billion?”
At the moment, the value of the stone was immeasurable. It was necessary to know that the value of a ton of intact jade was totally different from that of a ton of scattered jades. Some large works of art could not be carved using small jade materials in any way.
