Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mr. Wan had mixed feelings.
He was both envious of Yang Guang and annoyed with himself.
Anyway, Mr. Wan knew he was wrong about the stone. He wasn’t even interested in it at the very beginning because he didn’t expect that the stone would be so valuable. However, he was okay with Yang Guang getting it.
After all, the stone was only worth about 200,000 dollars, so Mr. Wan didn’t like it that much.
What made him speechless was Yang Guang’s attitude.
Yang Guang already got an icy species jadeite, yet he was still not satisfied.
Looking at the pebble-like stone in Yang Guang’s hand, Mr. Wan sneered, “Do you think you are that lucky? If this stone is an emerald, I’ll eat all the stuff that’s left over.”
“Then you will have indigestion.”
Yang Guang chuckled and turned to look at the stonecutter. “Please help me cut this stone.”
“Okay. How do you want me to cut it this time?” the stonecutter asked.
“Be careful. Just cut it gently from here.” Yang Guang said.
“No problem.”
The stonecutter fixed the stone and then looked at the host. “Can I start now?”
“Yes, you can.”
The host looked at Yang Guang in surprise. Seeing Yang Guang’s calm expression, the host suddenly felt a little strange.
The stonecutter cut the stone like Yang Guang said in less than a minute, and the machine stopped working. The first thing the stonecutter did after that was to rub his eyes.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the crowd with a stunned expression. “It is canutillos!”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked. Even the old man who seemed very calm stood up.
Without waiting for the stone to be taken down, the crowd came forward to take a look.
The part of the stone that was cut was about the size of a thumb, but what was revealed on the stone was emerald green and it was almost transparent.
Seeing this, the old man was the first to gasp. “It is glassy species jadeite.”
“Wow!”
Everyone was in an uproar and looked at Yang Guang.
Qi Yingxue’s eyes widened in shock.
She didn’t know much about emerald, but she heard that glassy species jadeite was the best kind of emerald and its price was very high.
“Young man, I’ll pay a million dollars for this stone. Sell it to me,” Mr. Wan said anxiously after he looked at the stone.
Yang Guang looked at Mr. Wan and said, “Wait a moment. Are you still going to eat the stuff that’s left over?”
Mr. Wan was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, “You must be kidding. I can’t even chew that stuff.”
“Then why did you say it?”
Yang Guang rolled his eyes and then looked at the old man who said it was glassy species jadeite. “Sir, is my stone worth a million dollars now?”
“Of course.”
The old man nodded and continued, “The part of the stone I can see is clearly canutillos. I suggest that you sell the stone now.”
Yang Guang was stunned. “Why?”
“This is a gamble. If you ask the stonecutter to keep cutting the stone and find that other parts of the stone aren’t all emeralds, the stone won’t be worth 200,000 dollars then,” the old man said.
“I see.”
Yang Guang understood that and said to the stonecutter, “Please cut the stone from the bottom now.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Why didn’t Yang Guang play by the rules? Nobody could understand why he wouldn’t stop after seeing glassy species jadeite.
If other parts of the stone weren’t all emeralds or they were just white jades, the price of this stone would be greatly reduced.
However, the stone was Yang Guang’s. No matter what others thought, they had no right to stop Yang Guang.
Everyone present held their breaths.
Ever since Yang Guang got an icy species jadeite, the market had quieted down. Everyone was staring at the screen, including the merchants.
The stonecutter used the machine to cut another part of the stone.
After he wiped off the dirty water and powder, he immediately said in surprise, “It’s still emerald!”
The bottom of the stone was also emerald.
“I’ll pay two million dollars for the stone.”
Mr. Wan’s eyes were glowing.
Yang Guang ignored him and said to the stonecutter, “Please cut the stone from the sides of the stone.”
“Well…”
The stonecutter looked at Yang Guang in surprise. “Young man, you had better stop now. This stone can already be sold at a high price.”
“Well…”
Yang Guang smiled. “Actually, I want to remove all the covers of the stone because I think there is a complete emerald inside the stone. Then I can sell it at a higher price.”
“You’re really daring!”
The stonecutter smiled bitterly and said, “There is no need to remove all the covers. I will cut the stone from its sides like you said and you can know the size of the emerald inside.”
“Thank you so much,” Yang Guang said.
“My pleasure.”
After the stonecutter said that, he adjusted the position of the stone and started the machine again.
Not long after that, the sides of the stone were revealed and they were also emeralds.
Therefore, this stone about the size of a goose egg had a complete emerald inside. The emerald was only a little smaller than a goose egg.
The merchant who sold the stone to Yang Guang regretted it.
The merchant turned around to look at his assistant angrily. “We really suffered a big loss this time.”
“Who knows there would be a complete emerald inside the stone?” The assistant had an aggrieved look on his face.
“Sir, how much is this stone worth now?” Yang Guang held the stone and asked the old man.
The old man swallowed and said, “I can’t estimate the price of this stone now.”
“Huh? Why?”
Yang Guang asked in confusion.
“This emerald looks very good and its shape is perfect. It can be turned into an emerald in the shape of a water droplet with a little modification. And then people can directly wear it around their necks.”
The old man pondered for a moment and then said, “Just sell this to the highest bidder.”
“I’m willing to pay three million dollars for this. Can you sell it to me?” Mr. Wan’s eyes were red as he asked sincerely.
However, just as Mr. Wan finished speaking, someone rushed in from outside and said loudly before Yang Guang could answer, “I’m willing to pay eight million dollars for this.
“Ah?”
Everyone present was stunned and turned to look at that person.
It was an ill-looking middle-aged man wearing glasses.
The man got close to Yang Guang, held up his phone, and said to Yang Guang, “Sir, Miss Yang wants to speak to you.”
“Who is Miss Yang?”
Yang Guang was stunned and looked at the man’s phone screen.
Then, Yang Guang’s eyes widened.
Qi Yingxue went over to take a look and was also stunned.
“Hello, I’m Yang Ruoyun.”
A clear voice sounded. When the crowd heard it, they started to whisper to each other.
“You’re the big star, Yang Ruoyun?”
Yang Guang asked with his eyes wide open.
“I’m not really a big star. I’m just an actress.”
Yang Ruoyun smiled and said, “My assistant sent a picture of your emerald to me and I like it very much.. Can you sell it to me?”
