Chapter 100: The Crazy Rock (6)

  The middle-aged man's face turned pale as soon as he saw the result, and he hurriedly washed the window clean with clear water, then shone a flashlight on it again. The result was even more despairing, and he muttered to himself, "Impossible!"

  The middle-aged man's younger brother also showed a shocked expression on his face, and his eyes staring at the jade rough stone were filled with boundless astonishment.

  "What a pity about this glass!" an onlooker beside him shook his head and sighed.

  "What a pity, what's the big deal about glass, you're not blind, can't you see that this colorless jade is made of glass?" another onlooker said disdainfully.

  Xu Jiangcheng got the middle-aged man's consent, and also went to the side of the original stone, took a closer look, and when he returned to his original position, shook his head and sighed: "The color is as thin as paper, this material is ruined!"

  Chu Chen went forward to watch, and indeed it was just as Xu Chengjiang said. Without using a flashlight, with the naked eye alone, one could see that the colorless jadeite was only a thin layer. With a strong light flashlight shining on it, inside it was all some kind of stone, not a hint of green could be seen.

  If it were a solid piece of glass jade, it would still be worth some money after being dissolved, but now it's just a thin layer and can't even be dissolved, even if it's the emperor green glass jade, it's useless in this situation.

  The key is that Chu Chen also saw that near one side of the green belt was a vast expanse of white, all cotton, which made people worry that the green belt would be eaten away by the cotton. This phenomenon also greatly discounted the value of the entire piece of woolen goods.

  In the blink of an eye, a piece of mink worth 750,000 yuan ended up in this state. With the existence of white cotton, it won't even be worth 400,000 to 500,000 yuan. Moreover, this piece of jade-colored mink has been through ups and downs, although there is still room for bargaining, but whoever wants to take over also needs to consider whether there will be any unexpected surprises after unraveling it.

  In the crowd of onlookers, upon learning of this outcome, some people have already turned to leave, which makes the middle-aged man's image appear even more desolate.

  The middle-aged man took out a cigarette and started smoking one after another, while his younger brother saw this situation and didn't know what to do, weakly asking: "Brother, what's next? Are we going to turn around or continue to untie?"

  A middle-aged man with red eyes spat out the tobacco in his mouth and trampled it fiercely on the ground, saying in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Continue to explain! I don't believe my luck will always be so bad!"

  After finishing speaking, he walked to the side of the jade rough stone, moved the original stone and rearranged it in a new position, drew a line next to the green strip, and then started the stone analyzer again.

  In the midst of the cutting sound, the middle-aged man gradually calmed down. After all, he was an old gambler and a person who had gone through great storms, this temporary setback could not knock him down. When the machine stopped rotating, he opened the cut stone slab with steady hands.

  But despite having made sufficient mental preparations, the performance of the wool still left him shaking his head in dismay.

  Chu Chen glanced ahead, also speechless. The green belt extended downwards, but halfway through, it was eaten away by the white cotton, greatly devaluing the value of the jade material. A green belt like this one, if nothing unexpected happens and is completely solved, would be worth around 2.5 million yuan.

  The middle-aged man shook his head, and with the help of his younger brother, he quickly untied the green belt, and its final value was roughly as estimated by Chu Chen.

  "Sir, I'll give you 2.6 million, and this jade material will be transferred to me, what do you think?" Xu Jiangcheng saw that the result was already settled, and hastily quoted a purchase price.

  Facing this price, the jade merchants around, including the fat boss who shook his head helplessly. Although they could still offer a higher price, it would be meaningless to increase it any further, completely selling at a loss, besides, this is not a glass species, there's no need to fight to the death.

  The middle-aged man was also relatively satisfied with this price, which is a blessing in disguise. This green belt did not have the same thin color as the previous colorless jade, but his younger brother had a painful expression on his face. Just now, he could have made a profit of more than double, but now he has lost tens of thousands of yuan. The difference between making a profit and losing money was suffocating him, and he felt like vomiting blood.

  As soon as the two reached a deal, Chu Chen stood up. Now was the time, he didn't want to let the opportunity to make money slip away from his hands. Walking over to the other side where there was a half-block of white wool, Chu Chen pointed at it and asked: "Sir, are you selling this piece of wool? If so, I'll buy it for 1,000 yuan."

  The middle-aged man had not yet responded, and Li Guodong exclaimed in surprise: "Xiao Chuan, you're not joking, are you? This piece of fabric is almost all cotton, what's the use of buying it?"

  "This is no joke, I just want to buy this half piece of wool." Chu Chen also didn't make any further explanation, and simply said calmly.

  The middle-aged man was also very puzzled, what is the purchasing value of this kind of wool, does he think that there is still jade in this wool? Not to say that it's definitely not possible, anyway, having played with wool for over a decade, I haven't seen any valuable jade come out of this kind of wool.

  Seeing Chu Chen so young, the middle-aged man thought he must be a newcomer and wanted to try his luck.

  "Well, you should also know the price of this fabric, right? I won't ask for much, just 5,000. What do you think?" The middle-aged man wouldn't give up on such a profitable opportunity, so he agreed without hesitation, but raised the price a bit.

  Some onlookers were about to leave, but when they saw a young man wanting to buy the half-cut piece of wool with all white cotton inside, they stayed behind with a mindset of watching a show. Who knows, maybe he can really cut out jade from it? Of course, this idea might not even be believed by themselves.

  "Xiao Chen, don't buy it. This kind of wool is not worth 5,000 yuan." Li Guodong advised beside her.

  "Haha, sir, I definitely can't afford 5,000. If you're willing to sell, I'll give you 2,000. If not, then forget it." Although 5,000 yuan is nothing compared to the value of the jade inside, Chu Chen definitely couldn't agree readily, or else he might arouse the suspicion of that middle-aged man.

  "Alright!" The middle-aged man thought for a moment and agreed. This piece of wool fabric, without any patterns or designs, with a plain white surface, could be sold for two thousand yuan, which was acceptable. However, if he had seen the wool fabric in Chu Chen's backpack on the ground, he might not have agreed so readily.

  Chu Chen paid the money quickly and took a deep breath, finally getting his hands on the treasure. He was about to unwrap it when his phone rang - it was Hou Yuanming, who had finished taking care of things and asked where they were.

  Hou Yuanming was not far from this store, and on the way, he met Liu Zhiqing and his friends, so the three of them walked over together.

  Liu Zhiqing's friend, named Zhang Yanbin, was less than thirty years old, a native of Yangcheng. It is said that his family also did jade business and the business was quite large, and he was also somewhat famous in the jade industry.

  When both sides were introducing themselves, Zhang Yanbin was shocked to see Chu Yulan and thought she was a heavenly beauty. When Chu Chen thought he would show his "pig brother" appearance, he didn't expect him to restrain himself instantly. This also made Chu Chen breathe a sigh of relief, after all, Liu Zhiqing's friend, if this conflict happened, it wouldn't be good for either side.

  Liu Zhiqing said helplessly in a soft voice, "Little Zhang is fine, it's just that he has a bit of a roving eye, but he's still a decent person and knows his limits. Xiao Chu, I hope you won't mind!"

  As long as it's really like Liu Zhiqing said, Chu Chen won't get angry either. The ancients also said that food, sex and nature are all the same; as long as this aspect can be controlled and not messed up, there's no harm done.

  "Xiao Chu, why did you buy this piece of fabric?" Hou Yuanming looked at the fabric that Chu Chen had just bought and frowned.

  Liu Zhiqing also squatted down to take a closer look, and said with some confusion: "I don't understand, but I'm sure you didn't buy it for no reason, Xiaochu. What's special about it? Tell us quickly."

  Zhang Yanbin also shook his head after reading it, as for Liu Zhicheng's words, he didn't think so. After all, he had just met Chu Chen, so his thoughts were the same as those of the middle-aged man, thinking that Chu Chen should be trying to take a gamble, and he was like that in the past too.

  If it was just bought at that time, Chu Chen could only say that he relied on his feelings. However, the short period of time they spent together allowed him to make a discovery. He pointed to a spot on the fur and said, "Look here."

  Although they had Chu Chen's instructions, the difference was obviously too small, and Hou Yuanming and others didn't see any difference.

  "Huh? Is this spring color?" Zhang Yanbin said somewhat uncertainly.

  "Spring color, won't you?!" The surrounding audience heard and began to discuss it.

  Hou Yuanming and others, after hearing this, re-examined it again, and indeed it seemed like the color of spring was similar to that of pine flowers. However, the pine flowers were too light in color, and this was also a piece of yellow sand skin, so it was even less obvious.

  "Is this Spring Color Pine? How can it be so faint that it's almost invisible. What if it's not Spring Color Pine?" Wen Yuting said curiously.

  Li Guodong smiled and explained: "It looks a bit like it, but precisely because it's light, only Little Chu discovered it just now."

  Chu Chen continued to explain: "If it's not Chunse Songhua, then the loss is only 2,000 yuan. For this price, I think it's still worth taking a gamble."

  What Chu Chen said was recognized by almost everyone. Although this piece of wool fabric has white cotton, the faintly suspected spring-colored larch place is still a distance from the cutting surface. The key is that this piece of wool fabric is still a relatively fine yellow sand skin wool fabric, without larch and with larch, the difference is quite big.
