Chapter 79: Blessings, Longevity and Good Fortune
a little while it would be the birthday of Yuan Dahua, the Minister of War. He had originally planned to buy an exquisite sword to give to his father, but unexpectedly this fellow popped up again.He...Qin Chuchu's expression changed, and she said coldly, "Luo Wentou, what are you trying to do Wasn't that the bet Xiaofan chose"
Luo Wentao said: "That's right, this is indeed his chosen bet, but it is also my jade rough. I have no problem using it for gambling. At most, the finished product will belong to him afterward."
"You..."
Qin Chuchu was about to say something more, but Ye Bufan grabbed her hand. “Forget it, Chuchu. Since Young Master Luo is willing to use it, let him use it. As long as the cut stuff belongs to me later, that’s fine.”
After that, he pointed to a piece of jade ore not far away and said, "I'll use this one for this round."
This piece of jade rough is about half a meter high and weighs four to five hundred pounds. The price is also much higher than before, weighing 50,000 yuan after weighing.
Although this stone still looked ordinary, everyone paid it immense attention after the previous two experiences. Even the staff who carried it became incredibly careful.
Soon, the two stones were brought over by staff. Ye Bufan said, "Young Master Luo, let's begin."
Luo Wentou said, "You go first this time."
He took the lead in breaking stones in both of the previous rounds, but ended up losing badly. So this time, he chose to let Ye Bufan go first.
"No problem." Ye Bufan didn't care about the order, and turned back to the few stone masters, saying, "Let's get started."
Several people together moved the stone Ye Bufan had chosen onto the grinding machine, and began to cut it.
For a full fifteen minutes, the sound of sizzling filled the air, yet no trace of green emerged. However, buoyed by Red Jade's earlier success, the onlookers still clung to a glimmer of hope.
Not until the stone was cut in half was any jade to be seen.
Luo Wen Tao's mouth curved into a smile. After three rounds, he finally saw hope. It seemed this kid's luck had finally run out.
Ye Bufan looked at the two cut stones, pointing to the one on the left and saying: "That's it, just polish it a bit more."
Master Jie Shi once again cut and polished this half of the stone, and soon a brilliant purple was revealed.
Luo Wentou's smile froze instantly. Purple jade, also known as amethyst, is generally very rare. Could it be that this kid really has good luck and stumbled upon a piece of amethyst
Soon, Master Jie shi proved his guess with action. A fist-sized piece of purple jade appeared before everyone.
After being rinsed with water, this piece of purple jade reveals a very pure hue. Under the sunlight, it exudes an aura of wealth and nobility, a sense of grandeur and elegance.
Purple was once known as the color of emperors in China. From the Ziwei Emperor to the Forbidden City, from the auspicious purple air in the east to the purple sash, all demonstrate the sacred and noble status of purple. It is precisely because of this that the price of violet jade is so expensive.
"My goodness, it's a violet, a real violet! I've attended so many gem exhibitions, but this is the first time I've ever seen one with my own eyes..."
The last jade raw stone I saw wasn't even half this big, and it sold for over 2 million. How much do you think this one is worth...
This young man is truly amazing, he's like a lucky charm personified. He chose three stones, and every single one turned out to be worth a fortune in jade!
Qin Chuchu stared at the piece of purple jade, her whole body frozen in shock.
Ye Bufan said: "Chu Chu, why don't you speak Do you want this jade If you do, take it with me."
“I…” Qin Chuchu took a deep breath, calming her excited feelings, then said, “I really want it, but I can’t afford it.”
Ye Bufan said in surprise, "How Is this jade very valuable More valuable than the two pieces"
From his perspective, the emerald held just as much spiritual energy as red jade and green jade, its value should be about the same.
Qin Chuchu gave a wry smile and said, "In China, rare items are expensive because they are scarce. The price is higher. But if there's only this piece of purple jade, 20 million yuan would be about right."
The most crucial aspect is the presence of both green jade and red jade. In the jade industry, there's a saying about "Fulu Shou" or "Liu Guan Zhang."
It is very rare for three colors of jade to be able to be matched together, and the price will also rise geometrically. Therefore, selling these three pieces of jade together would at least double in price, with a minimum of over 70 million yuan.
Our Qin Group this time prepared 100 million yuan of funds to purchase rough stones, and has already spent over 30 million. Now we really can't afford it.
At her words, the people around her were astonished.
"This young man's luck is amazing! He managed to collect all three colors of the fortune, longevity, and happiness jade, and they are all high-grade pieces."
"If only I had that kind of luck, tens or hundreds of millions would be enough for me to live for several lifetimes."
“Everyone says gambling on jade is heaven in one cut and hell in the next, this young man is about to fly to the sky…”
Upon hearing Qin Chuchu's words, Ye Bufan smiled faintly, "What Liu Guan Zhang Fu Lu Shou, aren't they just three stones I gave them all to you, as I said, for free."
For him, the biggest success today was getting the magical artifact called the Alchemy Bottle. Additionally, he won over three hundred million yuan from Luo Wentao, and at the auction, he also obtained the transfer contract for the Seeworld Peach Garden residential complex.
He really made a killing this time. If it wasn't for Qin Chuchu bringing him here, he wouldn't have encountered such a good opportunity. So, without hesitation, he gave away all three stones.
"I'm from the group purchasing department. I can't just take things for free. How about this, I'll make up the funds for you in a while."
Qin Chuchu was also reluctant to part with these three top-grade jade stones, which were rare once in a century. She immediately told her staff to take them and put them in her car.
Ye Bufan turned his head and said to Luo Wentao, "Luo Shao, it's your turn."
Seeing the other party gather the three jadeite rough stones of Fu, Lu, and Shou in just three rounds, earning a fortune, Luo Wentao felt a mixture of emotions—envy, jealousy, and resentment all at once.
But at this point, he couldn't worry about anything else. This was already the third round of the gamble, and if he lost again, there would be no way for him to turn things around.
At this point, he addressed Master Jie Shi and said, "Please unveil this stone."
No matter what, he still has a glimmer of hope. The fact that the three ores are so precious that Ye Bufan didn't mention them before, and now he specifically proposes using this one as a bet, shows that this particular ore is even more valuable.
Those few masters of stone-breaking seemed to have realized this point as well, and their explanations were cautious and careful.
Half an hour later, the stone had been split into four pieces, but it was completely empty inside. There wasn't a trace of jadeite, whether green or red.
"This... this can't be possible"
Lu Wen Tao was sure Ye Bu Fan wouldn't be off base. There had to be something good inside this jade stone. He called out again, "Cut it again, cut it finer, there has to be jade in here!"
Master Jie Shi was helpless. The chance of figuring out the jade at this point was very small, but since their master had spoken, they could only obey.
A stone master picked up half a piece of jade ore and put it on the cutting machine. With one cut, there was a cracking sound. The originally sharp saw blade seemed to have hit something hard and broke in half all at once.i Sasong had been on guard, he was ultimately outmatched, just like his previous encounter with Kou Hong.Under the combined assault of Xuanyuan Linglong and her companion, he lasted only three moves b...
