RPAGF Chapter 82 unexpectedly yielded a White Jade Ice Jade.
Chapter 82 unexpectedly yielded a White Jade Ice Jade.
"This is a piece of white jade ice jade!" someone shouted.
White jadeite with ice-like inclusions is extremely rare and has a limited market value. The part that Ning Yao marked is exactly the beginning of the ice-like inclusion, almost exactly. Such a high-quality and complete ice-like inclusion is worth at least tens of millions.
Everyone was amazed and cast envious glances their way.
This woman's luck is just too good. If this were a rough stone from a proper quarry, no one would be surprised to find it, since it's a high-quality rough stone with a high chance of yielding rare jadeite.
But Ning Yao used a piece of rough jade to cut out icy jadeite, and the lines were perfectly drawn. No one would believe that Ning Yao was an amateur anymore.
Immediately, people started bidding, beginning at five million and rising to twenty million, but Ning Yao remained unmoved.
She didn't really understand the value of these jadeite pieces, but she found the clear, white jadeite exceptionally beautiful.
At this moment, Bruce walked up to Ning Yao. He appeared calm on the surface, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
“Miss Bella, you have the advantage of being in a good position. Why don’t you sell this piece of ice jade to me? I’ll offer 30 million.”
Ning Yao smiled and immediately replied, "If Mr. Bruce likes it, I'll give it to you as a small gift."
Everyone present was shocked to hear Ning Yao's words.
Who exactly is this woman? She can give away tens of millions of yuan worth of jade without even blinking an eye.
Compared to the others' shrewdness, Chairman Xu appeared much calmer and more composed, calmly praising from the side, "Miss Bella has such a remarkable presence."
Ning Yao looked at Chairman Xu and explained with a smile, "When you need someone's help, you naturally have to be willing to give."
“Even between brothers, accounts should be kept clear. One thing at a time. We can discuss the cooperation separately. I’ll offer 30 million for Bingfei. If Miss Bella is willing, I’ll buy it. If not, I won’t take it for free.” Bruce wasn’t the type to be greedy for small gains. He looked at Ning Yao seriously and expressed his attitude.
Listening to Bruce use Chinese proverbs repeatedly, Ning Yao knew that Bruce genuinely appreciated Chinese culture, and her goodwill towards him increased considerably. She immediately nodded in agreement and sold the ice jade to Bruce for 30 million.
Bruce readily paid, and Ning Yao's phone immediately vibrated, receiving the remittance from Bruce.
Even though he spent 30 million, Bruce still made a profit. This kind of ice jade is already worth tens of millions. After being processed and carved by craftsmen, the price will only double. It's a sure thing, and it has even more collectible value.
Everyone was filled with anticipation for the rough stones Ning Yao had selected. If the first piece could yield icy jadeite, then the next few pieces would likely also be valuable jadeite. They were prepared to bid and snatch one up, making the trip worthwhile.
The stone cutter picked up Ning Yao's rough stone and asked her to draw lines on it.
Ning Yao continued to draw black lines on several stones, in the same positions as the rough stones from which ice jade had been extracted before.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the stone cutter broke three rough stones in succession. To everyone's disappointment, all three were ordinary raw materials, and not even the most basic jadeite was extracted; they were all waste.
The people around began to let out long sighs, their disappointment evident.
Ning Yao pursed her lips and remained silent, her eyes clear and calm. She stood quietly without saying a word.
Seeing this, Chairman Xu comforted him, saying, "You've already broken even with just one stone. Gambling on stones is all about luck, and you can't force the outcome."
“It’s already quite rare to find a piece of ice jade, Miss Bella, don’t be sad.” Bruce echoed from the side, looking at the last stone in the cart, he too had lost all hope.
"Yes, I know." Ning Yao knew that Bruce and Chairman Xu meant well.
These three stones were deliberately selected as waste materials and mixed into the icy jadeite to prevent all the rough stones from yielding rare jadeite, which would attract too much attention and likely cause her a lot of trouble.
"There's one last piece left, shall we cut it?" the stone cutter asked Ning Yao.
"Since I've already bought it, let's just get rid of it," Ning Yao replied in a calm voice, clearly not caring at all.
"Where are the lines?" the stone cutter asked again.
"Let's cut it in half," Ning Yao replied casually, somewhat absentmindedly.
To others, Ning Yao's disappointment stemmed from opening three pieces of scrap material in a row. They could understand this feeling, but they also felt that if it were them, they would be content with just opening one piece of ice jade.
"Cut it in half? If the rough stone yields jade, then the price will be reduced." The stone cutter was astonished by Ning Yao's method of marking the stone and, out of conscience, advised her against cutting it in the middle.
"Just cut it like this, in half." Ning Yao remained true to her original intention and insisted on cutting the raw stone in half.
The stone cutter stopped offering advice; he only needed to fulfill his duty to remind the buyer, and how the buyer decided was their business.
The stone is placed into the machine, and the entire rough stone is cut in half. The stone cutter operates the machine, and the familiar sound of stone breaking rings out.
This was the last stone, and the chances of it being a waste were extremely high, especially since it was already split in half. Everyone had lost their expectations, and those who had bought the rough stones started to line up on their own, waiting for Ning Yao's turn to finish so they could cut their own stones.
The machine stopped, and the stone cutter glanced at the raw stone. It was the color of stone, with no trace of jade. Following the procedure, he sprayed it with water and cleaned the halved stone.
The more he washed it, the more he felt something was wrong. The color looked strange no matter how he looked at it. At first, it looked no different from the original stone, but as he washed it, it turned into a fleshy pink color.
With increased cleaning efforts, the stone cutter had a peculiar feeling that there might be jade inside!
After cleaning away the surrounding stone fragments and clearly seeing the color inside, the stone cutter's fingers trembled uncontrollably. He opened his lips, but couldn't utter a single word, so shocked that he lost his mind.
Seeing that the Stone Master's reaction was strange, everyone crowded around to take a look. Some noticed that the pinkish-red color was unusual and were so shocked that they swore.
"Holy crap, am I seeing things? This is freaking pink glass-type jadeite!"
Glassy type?
Ning Yao didn't quite understand how much glass-type jade was worth; she simply saw the color of jade in the rough stone and decisively picked it out.
Chairman Xu and Bruce couldn't wait any longer. Their hearts tightened, and they rushed to the front row, staring at the rough stone on the cutting board. After seeing it clearly, they confirmed that it was indeed a pink glassy type stone. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and their eyes seemed to bulge out.
Bella, what incredible luck! You actually found a pink glass-type jadeite in rough jadeite!
This is more than just breaking even; the owner of this pink glass-type jadeite has become incredibly wealthy overnight!
