Zzzzzz!!
The cutting wheel whirred rapidly, droplets of water splashed, and Yang Buqun pressed down on the cutting handle, his palm slightly damp, evidently showing that he was quite nervous at this moment.
Whether it would be a gain or a loss, it all depended on this cut!
Under the lubrication of the water flow, the cutting wheel swiftly sliced along the edge of the jadeite.
The crowd gathered in three or four circles, and eyes stared unblinkingly at the jadeite stone that was about to be cut open.
With a "crack" sound, the jadeite stone was split into two halves.
Standing nearby, Black Tiger hurriedly splashed a ladle of water, the stream flowing down the smooth cut surface.
All eyes were focused on the cut surface, which was mostly ash-white after being washed by water, with only a thin layer of jade meat on top, extending less than an inch down.
"No green!"
"It's a bust, really a bust!"
"..."
The surrounding people exploded into a commotion; none of them had anticipated this result. Just a moment ago, they were expecting a legendary four rises, but now it seemed to have flopped.
"How could it be like this!"
Yang Buqun's face turned black immediately, gloomy like ink.
"It's really a bust!"
Ling Xiaoyu and Ruan Xinxue both stared at the cut surface in astonishment, and then their beautiful eyes simultaneously turned to Qin Yang. With this cut, it was almost certain that Qin Yang had won.
"Don't look at me, I was just guessing blindly." Qin Yang shrugged and smiled.
"That can't be, it's not necessarily a loss. I don't believe this gambling piece has only this much jadeite."
Yang Buqun gritted his teeth, turned on the power, and continued the cut.
Zzzzzz!
The cutting wheel kept spinning until Yang Buqun, almost obsessively, carved the gambling stone into eight large pieces before stopping.
This half-gambling stone from Muna Mine, almost fully busted, only had jadeite in the palm-sized window that was previously opened. The thickest area was less than an inch, estimated to barely produce two or three ring faces.
"What a pity for this good piece."
"Who could have thought there's only this much jadeite inside..."
"As the saying goes, buy as much as you see; it never deceives."
"..."
The surrounding people shook their heads and sighed, casting complex glances at Qin Yang. In this gamble, the young man had won!
Staring at the eight large chunks of stone on the ground, Yang Buqun exhaled deeply, his face gradually regaining calm. Yet, deep in his slightly lowered eyes, there was a chilling gleam.
"Hehe, I lost. Young Master Qin indeed has eyes as sharp as torches, I admire you," Yang Buqun smiled, scrutinizing Qin Yang, not showing any signs of having lost forty million.
"Just lucky," Qin Yang also smiled and said, but he became more wary of this guy in his heart. Being able to recover so quickly from a gambling loss indicated quite a deep scheming mind.
"Black Tiger, go get that piece of white-based green material."
Yang Buqun instructed Black Tiger standing next to him.
"Yes, young master."
Black Tiger nodded and agreed, and when passing by Qin Yang, there was a glint of malicious intensity in his gaze.
"Here's a three-million cash check."
Yang Buqun took out a checkbook from his pocket, wrote a check for three million, and handed it to Qin Yang.
"You are indeed a man of your word, Brother Yang."
Qin Yang smiled as he accepted it and put it in his pocket. Adding it to the previous eight and a half million, he now had a total of eleven and a half million in cash checks.
Black Tiger moved quickly and, in two minutes, had wheeled over the piece of white-based green material on a small cart.
"With the wager settled, I hope to have the opportunity to spar with Young Master Qin again. Farewell," Yang Buqun said and walked away through the crowd, not wanting to be talked about directly after losing forty million.
"Hey, Qin Yang, I remind you, you must be careful. Yang Buqun isn't broad-minded, and since you won forty million from him today, you can't be sure he won't try to strike you secretly," Ling Xiaoyu, who apparently knew Yang Buqun, said.
Ruan Xinxue standing nearby also nodded in agreement: "World Group is about to go public, and in total, he lost forty-eight million, almost half a hundred million. Even with World Group's strong financial capabilities, it might be a bit overwhelming."
"Hmm, I know," Qin Yang squinted slightly and smiled. He was now an advanced Immortal Warrior with some self-defense ability. If Yang Buqun wanted to play any tricks, he would not mind showing him the means of a cultivator.
"Let's deposit these three pieces of jadeite first," Ling Xiaoyu said.
The glassy jadeite with floating flowers on the table, the apple green jadeite that Ling Xiaoyu polished, and the white-based green jadeite on the small cart were all valuable. The three of them decided to first store these three pieces of jadeite at the gambling stone event's storage area and take them away when leaving later.
"Let's go, and pick some more stones," Qin Yang smiled. With the eleven and a half million in hand, it was enough to choose all the good jadeite gambling stones here.
The three of them walked in front, followed by two staff members responsible for transporting stones.
Qin Yang toured the entire gambling stone site, selecting more than thirty gambling stones, among which fifteen were materials capable of yielding great increases, including two glassy types, three icy types, five watery types, and some violet and red jade. As for those stones that would not yield a rise, they were bought to make up the numbers. Otherwise, if one rose with each cut, it would be too unbelievable.
The total cost of these twenty-plus jadeite rough stones was ten million. However, if all were cut out, their value would not be less than two hundred million.
After completing their selections, the sun was already sinking westward, and the setting sun's glow filled the heavens and earth. The gambling stone event was nearing its end as everyone gathered in the club for a dinner banquet.
The hall was brightly lit with French and Italian cuisines, top-notch wines, and everything one could wish for. Men and women dressed in various formal outfits conversed with each other, many important business decisions and even some policy decisions were negotiated amidst drinks.
After the banquet, night had fallen, the full moon hung high in the sky, and only then did people gradually leave.
