Chapter 5: Waste

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Pierre asked to open his own raw stone first.

He took a white sand-skin raw stone and asked the cutting master to cut it. After one cut, it was just as Pierre had expected. It was Bingnuo Jadeite. The rarest thing was that there were no cracks inside, which meant that the finished product had a high degree of freedom when using it in design.

The grade of Jade was judged by the type, transparency, base, and color. The type referred to the quality of the Jade, and the Bingnuo type was already in the middle and upper grades. The transparency referred to the clarity of the Jade, the more crystal clear the Jade was, the higher the quality. The base referred to the impurities in the Jade, the less, the better. The color referred to the color, and green was the best. However, no matter what color it was, it had to be pigmented and solid, pure and bright, soft and even. The Imperial Green Onyx was the most valuable color among all colors.

“Mr. Pierre has good eyes! It’s the first piece and it’s already so good!” The crowd complimented him.

Everyone congratulated Pierre.

“I’m just lucky today,” Pierre replied with a smug look. “But I can tell you that it won’t be a problem for the 2.03 million piece of stone to produce an Imperial Green Onyx!”

All the people present were Jade lovers, and it was rare to see an Imperial Green Onyx, so they couldn’t help but look forward to it when they heard Pierre’s confident tone.

Out of the next three raw stones, two were types of emerlad and one was of the Bingnuo type. Unfortunately, they had two large cracks, so their value was greatly reduced.

Soon, it was time for the final raw stone.

“One look and I can tell it’s from Munachang. The chance of it being green is very high. Look at the skin and the coating! If it turns out to be a glass type, it’ll be amazing!”

“Then Pierre’s going to make a fortune this time. The 2.03 million can be increased by at least 20 times! No, this raw stone is the size of two soccer balls. It can be increased by 40 times!”

Everyone was talking about it, and some looked at Vivian with sympathy. Pierre looked down on women and liked torturing them in bed. Vivian had promised him something just now, so it was obvious what kind of dirty request Pierre would make.

Vivian’s eyes were still calm under the sunglasses. Among Pierre’s pieces, the first piece was the hottest.

Very quickly, the raw stone was moved to the angle grinding machine. After cutting it, it turned green.

“It’s the Imperial Green Onyx! And it’s a glass type!” Everyone shouted.

“Although it’s not entirely green, with such a ribbon-like green color, the price can immediately go up a grade.”

Pierre’s eyes turned dark as he looked at Vivian. Tonight, he would make this woman pay for her arrogant words!

The cutting master looked at Pierre and asked seriously, “Mr. Pierre, do you still want to make the second cut?”

The better the first cut, the more careful the second cut would be. Because no one knew whether the buyer would still have a perfect cut, a crack, or a stone after the second cut.

If one intended to buy it and sell it for a high price, many people would not make a second cut.

“Mr. Pierre, since you’re so lucky today, why don’t you just open it?”

“That’s right. Mr. Pierre, I haven’t seen any Imperial Green Onyx on the spot. Let us see it.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen Jade of this quality on the spot!”

Everyone’s words made Pierre lose his sense of direction, and he shouted, “Cut it open!”

The cutter master found the right angle and started to cut the second cut.

With this knife, it let the present people experience what was called real stone gambling!

Not only was there no green, but only a two-centimeter Jade section was exposed.

“What the hell is this? Do you know how to cut it?” Pierre nervously pushed the master aside and leaned forward to take a closer look.

Pierre felt the difference between heaven and hell and roared, “Cut again! It’s obviously the Imperial Green Onyx glass type, how can it become trash!”

“Charles! Change the people! Change home with your best cutting master!”

The master who cut the raw materials just now was the best in the shop, but Charles definitely wouldn’t tell him the truth in this situation, so he had to find another less experienced master quickly.

The third, fourth, and fifth cuts!

In the end, it was a glass-type jade with the thickest side of 1.8 centimeters and the thinnest 0.5 centimeters with a strip of green. It was indeed a waste.
