C726 Heavenspan Jade
C726 Heavenspan Jade
Although Hou Mingyuan made a mistake, Su Ming still couldn't beat him.
"Sir, can we start to remove your raw stone?" The stone-cutter slowly said to Su Ming.
Su Ming nodded and said slowly, "You can start."
But just as the stonecutter was about to make a move, Su Ming suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
Everyone was slightly stunned.
What did this brat want to do? Could it be that he wanted to go back on his word?
Hou Minyuan said with a cold smile, "What? Could it be that Mr. Su doesn't dare to gamble anymore? Tell me as soon as possible. I'm not an unreasonable person. I know the rules of admitting defeat and losing half in advance."
Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter.
Nangong Xin frowned slightly. Just as he was about to flare up, Su Ming said with a faint smile, "Who said I want to admit defeat?"
After saying that, Su Ming said to the stone cutting master beside him, "Just cut it in the middle. There's no need for any other complicated steps."
When they heard this, everyone was shocked once again.
How could there be such a way to cut a stone? Even if there was jade inside, it would probably be broken by this knife.
Of course, Su Ming was the buyer of this raw stone. No one could interfere with how he wanted to cut it.
At this time, Hou Minyuan already looked like he was watching a show.
Shangguan Jie looked at the current situation and slowly retreated to Nangong Xin's side. He said in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness, let's go!"
Nangong Xin was slightly stunned and said, "Let's go, Mr. Su's stone is not finished yet?"
Shangguan Jie sighed and said, "Your Royal Highness, your servant does not know the depth of the stone. This kind of stone guessing method is definitely a loss. If we stay, I'm afraid we will lose your Royal Highness's face as well. Let's go."
At this moment, a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted from the crowd.
"I... I didn't see wrongly, right? I seem to have seen a hint of greenery!"
"It can't be, I think I saw it too."
Situ Zhong, who was at the side, also exclaimed, "This... This green seems to be a little unusual!"
Nangong Xin and Shangguan Jie were startled, and they hurriedly looked in the direction of the stone cutting master.
As Su Ming had requested for the cutting method to be neat and tidy, the stone cutting master also handled this stone quite quickly.
At this moment, the raw stone had been completely cut.
What was exposed in front of everyone was a stone that was green to the extreme.
It was natural and beautiful!
"No... It can't be!" Shangguan Jie exclaimed in disbelief.
There was no one present who didn't recognize this jade, but apart from a few people, this was the first time most people had seen it in real life.
This jade was of the highest quality, and it was extremely verdant!
Hou Minyuan's eyeballs almost popped out. This Heavenspan Jade was a top grade jade that was rarely seen in ten years, but it was actually dug out by Su Ming just like that!
Moreover, from the unpeeled raw stone skin, one could directly understand that although the raw stone Su Ming chose was small, it only had layers of thin stone skin, and all of it was this precious heavenly green!
"Such a big and big Tongtian Jade, its price is at least twenty thousand taels of silver!"
"Twenty thousand taels of silver may not be too conservative. Last time, a heavenly jade pendant was sold for more than ten thousand taels of silver. This piece of stone is obviously much bigger than the last one."
"That's right, that's right. This Tongtian Jade is definitely worth more than twenty thousand taels of silver!"
At this moment, everyone was boiling with excitement. Not only was it a supreme grade heavenly jade, but it was also because this stone was actually opened by an outsider like Su Ming.
No one wasn't jealous.
Shangguan Jie's expression gradually changed from shock to wild joy. He sneered at Hou Minyuan, "Hahaha, surnamed Hou, I never thought that you would have such a day. How about it? Do you want to use that piece of trash to estimate its value?"
Hou Minyuan's face instantly darkened.
It was not easy for him to make Shangguan Jie lose face, but now he was the one who lost face.
"Little brother, good technique!" Hou Minyuan said coldly, "Today I have lost, I will ask you another day if I have the chance!"
After saying that, Hou Minyuan walked out quickly.
"Wait!" Su Ming smiled and said, "You can leave if you want to. You have to keep the bet of ten thousand taels from before."
Hou Minyuan's face darkened and he said to Chief Chu, "Chief Chu, I'll have to trouble you to give him ten thousand taels from Yuan Shi Zhai's account."
After saying that, Hou Mingyuan left the Stone House without looking back.
Seeing that Hou Min had left, Chief Chu, who was standing at the side, hesitated for a while before coming up to Su Ming and said, "This Mr. Su is really good. He is able to get such a top-grade jade."
Su Ming said lightly, "Chief Chu, you are being too serious."
Chief Chu continued slowly, "Since Brother Su created this supreme grade Sky Reaching Emerald in my Stone House, I have a presumptuous request."
Su Ming said lightly, "Just say it."
Chief Chu slowly said, "This old man wants to buy this Supreme Grade Heavenly Emerald in Mister's hands. I hope that Mr. Su can give it away."
Sky Reaching Jade was a very rare piece of jade. Moreover, this piece of jade was not small. If he could get this piece of jade from the Stone House, it would be very beneficial to his business in the future.
Su Ming smiled faintly and said, "It's not impossible to give it to you. It depends on your price."
If it was an ordinary person, he would naturally not easily give away such a treasure. However, Su Ming was different. This kind of jade might be a treasure in the hands of others, but it was worthless in Su Ming's eyes.
It was useless for him to bring this piece of Sky Reaching Jade with him. It would be more practical for him to exchange it for silver.
When he heard these words, Chief Chu was instantly overjoyed and said, "The price is negotiable. Original Stone House is willing to offer 35,000 silver. I wonder if Mr. Su is satisfied with this price."
Everyone instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. 35,000 taels of silver was not a small amount. Adding the 10,000 silver taels that Su Ming won from Hou Mingyuan, in such a short period of time, Su Ming had earned 45,000 silver taels.
It should be known that ordinary people would not be able to save such a sum of money even if they earned dozens of lifetimes and did not eat or drink it!
At this moment, Shangguan Jie suddenly said, "Chief Chu, your price is not sincere."
When Chief Chu heard that, he frowned and said, "What do you mean by that, Lord Shangguan? 35,000 silver taels is already quite a lot. According to the market price, such an extraordinary jade piece is only worth around 30,000 silver taels."
Shangguan Jie smiled and said, "According to the market price, it is indeed not bad, but this is Heavenly Jade. It is a treasure with a price but no market. You only have an extra 5,000 taels of silver, even I cannot continue watching."
"This..." Chief Chu pondered for a long time, then finally sighed and said, "Then this old man is willing to add forty thousand taels of silver, this is already the limit of this old man's offer. If you add any more, this old man has no right to make this decision."
"Alright, forty thousand taels of silver. This Sky Piercing Jade is yours!" Su Ming said slowly.
Hearing this, Chief Chu was instantly overjoyed. He hurriedly instructed the accountant to prepare banknotes for Su Ming.
Although it was five thousand taels more than he had expected, to be able to obtain Tongtian Cui at this price, it could be considered that he had gotten a huge bargain.
