Now, it was Zhang Tao's turn to cut the stone. He first handed over the raw stone he had chosen. He wanted to see how his luck was today. Was there even a need to say that? Li Hao had already made a decision for him. It was a great loss, and he wanted to spit out his blood.
Of course, a stone worth tens of thousands of yuan was nothing to Zhang Tao. It was just a small amount, but he was still very depressed. After all, everyone wanted to win and didn't want to lose.
At this time, it was Jie Li Hao's turn. The master asked, "How do we cut it?" Obviously, this was not something Zhang Tao could decide. He could only look at Lee Hao.
Lee Hao let go of Xia Xue and walked up to her. He picked up the pen on the table and drew a few lines. He said, "Cut the knife where I drew it. We'll talk after we cut it."
Since the customer had such a request, the stone-cutting master naturally did not say anything. He started to cut according to Lee Hao's request. The people beside him said with disdain.
"Who does this kid think he is? He really took the words of these experienced masters seriously when they were polite to him. "
Is the stone-cutting master being polite? Yes, before every customer deconstructs the stone, he will ask one question. "How do you cut it?" If the customer had special requirements, he would cut it according to special requirements. If there were no requirements, naturally he would cut it according to the conventional method. After the excellence, he would slowly grind.
If it were any other raw stone, Lee Hao would not have cared so much about it. If it was broken, it would be broken, but there was a glass type inside. The shape was also very strange. If it was used in a conventional way, it was necessary to destroy the integrity of the jade, which was why Lee Hao took action. He drew a few irregular lines on the surface of the jade.
The stone cutting machine roared. The stone cutting master skillfully cut off the waste on the raw stone. After washing the cutting surface with clear water, a thin layer of green fog appeared.
"It's green! It's green!" The surrounding crowd was even more excited than Lee Hao and shouted loudly.
The people who mocked Lee Hao just now looked at him strangely. Obviously, Lee Hao's precise technique made them look at him.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "There's something strange about this green fog. I'm afraid the jade inside is not simple." As soon as he said that, the surrounding people realized the problem and revealed shocked expressions.
Someone even said excitedly, "Little brother, are you selling this raw stone? I'm willing to pay five million to buy it!"
Hiss...
The surrounding people sucked in a breath of cold air. Five million? This person was really generous. He was also full of gambling energy. He actually dared to set such a sky-high price with just this little bit of green fog.
What surprised them even more happened. Faced with such a huge sum of money, Lee Hao was still unmoved. He said indifferently, "Master, I'll have to trouble you to slowly polish it."
"Okay!" The stone-cutting master agreed happily. If they could give a high quality jade today, not only would the employer reward them, it would also increase their reputation. There would be more people coming to them to cut stones.
Why? The people who bet on stones were very superstitious. If there was a high quality jade here, they would naturally come to get some luck. The more stones they cut, the more the master's income would naturally be.
The stone cutting master's skilled action appeared again. The stone gradually revealed that mysterious veil. A touch of pure green appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This is... This is the water that only high ice jade and above have!"
"It has increased, this is a huge increase! That brat earned a lot. According to the current trend, this jadeite is not small. If it is all High Ice-type, it would be worth at least tens of millions. "
The man who had bid just now even stood on the spot and pounded his chest. He continued to say unwillingly, "Little brother, I'm willing to pay 30 million to buy this raw stone of yours. How about it?"
"Thirty million to buy this raw stone? Dream on! I'm willing to pay 35 million. As long as little brother nods his head, I'll immediately transfer the money to you. "
Those who could offer such a high price were those who had a certain understanding of raw jade gemstones. The green that was only available in the beginning was only available in high-ice gemstones. If one could not keep the jade inside, it would be a glass gemstone. If one could get a glass gemstone, it would be a sky-high price.
They were betting that there were glass types inside, and Lee Hao was sure that there were all glass types inside. No matter what price they offered, they would not agree.
So? Li Hao shook his head and said to his master, "Continue grinding! Until all of it is solved."
Lee Hao confirmed again and dispelled the doubts of the stone master. He no longer cared about the surrounding movements. Instead, he carefully polished the raw stone in his hand. Having worked in the industry for several decades, he was very clear about the value of the raw stone in his hand.
Ten minutes later, the stone cutting master had polished the raw stone and washed it with clean water. A brand new jade appeared in his hand.
It was green, very green. It was so green that it almost dripped out. Even people who knew nothing about jade knew that it was very valuable.
People who were familiar with jade would think of a word, "Emperor Green." That's right. This was the best color and the most valuable green. It was commonly known as "Grandmother Green." It gave people a noble and elegant beauty.
Not to mention the surrounding tourists, even the number of stones that had been cut was countless. The stone-cutting master, who was used to seeing countless amounts of jade, held the Imperial green hand. Even he was trembling a little. This was something he had personally cut out. It was his future capital. Some stone-cutters would never have such an opportunity in their entire lives.
Upon seeing this situation, Lee Hao immediately walked forward and took the Emperor Green from the stone-cutters. This was money!
After a short period of silence, a deafening roar erupted from the surroundings.
"Emperor Green, there's an Emperor Green here!"
Such a large piece of Imperial green undoubtedly stirred up the atmosphere in the stone cutting field. Countless tourists who came to watch ran over one after another, wanting to personally witness the majesty of the Imperial green.
As for the jewelry purchasers that were stationed here, they did not fall behind and rushed to bid.
"200 million, little brother, I want this piece of jade!"
A person next to him mocked: "200 million, 200 million, you want to buy such a large piece of imperial jade? Dream on!" After saying that, that person said to Lee Hao, "Little brother, I'm willing to pay 300 million."
Just as he finished speaking, another voice sounded, "I am willing to pay 400 million..."
"450 million!" Before that person could finish speaking, another bid sounded, raising it by 50 million.
The scene was very heated. The price of the Emperor Green was like a rocket. It kept rising and reached the sky-high price of 450 million in an instant.
But would Li Hao sell it? No, because the value of this imperial green was not limited to this. The current Lee Hao was not the same as Little White back then. He knew nothing about jade. In his mind, the lowest price of this imperial green was... It was 800 million soft sister coins.
That's right, 800 million, it was still the lowest price. In the past, when Lee Hao offered the Violet Orchid, he had once checked online and found that one Violet Orchid had been auctioned off for a sky-high price of $600 million. And Lee Hao's imperial green piece was only slightly smaller than that.
It was common knowledge that amongst jade, green was respected. Lee Hao's piece of imperial green naturally surpassed the value of that piece of violet jade.
