Chapter 87 Ten Million: "This is a fake jadeite rough."

Chapter 87 Ten Million: "This is a fake jadeite rough."

In an instant, the onlookers erupted in uproar.

"You won the bet?!"

"A stone bought for less than 30,000?! This price has skyrocketed!"

"Damn! I've been here for so long, and this is the first time I've ever found icy jadeite from tens of thousands of dollars worth of rough stones!"

The viewers in the live stream were also quite agitated.

【Ice-type?! Huh??】

[Who said Ye Hantao doesn't understand?! Ye Hantao understands this way too well!!!]

[Hahaha, are you mocking Ye Hantao? Peach didn't get green, she got pinkish-purple instead, hehehehe!]

[Don't just be shocked, are there any experts here who can tell me how much this quality of violet is worth?]

[This looks about a quarter the size of a volleyball. If the color wasn't so grayish and it didn't feel cottony, it could sell for at least 2 million.]

[You said you stole him?! You mean you stole him?!]

Are you sure you didn't add an extra zero?!

If it were a deep purple, there would be no way to stop it.

Ye Hantao didn't even spend 30,000 yuan on this rough stone!

[After watching the replay, the initial price was 25,000, but Ye Hantao negotiated it down to 24,000.]

Holy crap?! This is faster than I make money trading stocks!!!

At that moment, a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle squeezed out from the crowd.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, opened his squinting eyes, and shouted in Ye Hantao's direction, "I'll offer 2 million for this jade! I can transfer the money right now!"

"Who are you trying to fool with 2 million?!" After rebuking the middle-aged man, the man grinned and said enthusiastically, "2.2 million, I'll take it!"

Ye Hantao was stunned by their bidding.

Although there was Ji Changtu showing off his icy jade pendant and the jade rabbit she bought at the antique market, she really didn't expect that the jadeite she had just unearthed would be worth more than two million.

The operator had stopped the oil-cutting machine and cleaned the cross-section with water and a soft brush.

Ye Hantao stared intently.

It was a shade between pink and purple, like an orchid blooming in spring, soft and elegant.

When the sunlight shines down from the sky, its colors are fresh and beautiful, like the rosy dawn, very eye-catching and breathtaking.

Bei Hong strode forward, his eyes wide with amazement, and said, "Violets are most afraid of dying when exposed to light, but yours doesn't die when exposed to light, which means the saturation is very stable."

The next second, the audience heard him say something similar to that of a knowledgeable viewer in the live stream: "The color is not grayish, and there are no cotton-like cracks on the surface."

Bei Hong continued, "Its quality is excellent, almost like high-grade icy jade, and its price is no less than 4 million."

Ye Hantao: "!!!"

Four million?!

The two bidders exchanged a glance and shouted one after the other, "I bid 4 million!"

"Don't you understand the concept of first come, first served?!"

"Did they agree to sell to you? If they didn't agree, what's with this 'first come, first served' nonsense!"

Seeing Ye Hantao's ice-type violet being auctioned off so fiercely, Ren Lang clenched his fists tightly.

He wasn't jealous of the jadeite Ye Hantao had found; he didn't care much about jadeite worth a million or so. But the fact that Ye Hantao had found jadeite and possessed such good fortune made him want to break free from his entanglement ahead of time!

Ren Lang didn't even dare to imagine how much he would gain in the future if Ye Hantao's gratitude level increased smoothly!

At that time, he will not only be able to secure his position as creative director of Aurelia, but may also be able to go even higher.

Su Yi'ang shook Wu Xia's shoulders violently, her face flushed with excitement, "Wu Xia! Did you hear that?! Tao Tao has bloomed a violet worth 4 million!!!"

4 million!

His assets had long since exceeded eight figures, but he was still shocked by the speed at which he could become rich overnight through gambling on jade.

When Director Wan introduced Ni Runxiang and Bei Hong, Su Yi'ang realized that they were very capable, and he was amazed when he heard that they had mined jade worth hundreds of millions.

However, the shock they brought was nothing compared to the fact that he personally witnessed the stone that Tao Tao Hua bought for 24,000 yuan open to reveal a jadeite worth 4 million yuan!

Wu Xia also stood there, stunned.

Hearing about getting rich quick through gambling on jade is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.

When he and Wu Xia were buying stones, they watched others cut stones, and only one person cut out a piece of jade worth over 100,000 yuan.

The fact that the other party spent over 50,000 yuan to buy the rough stone is enough to show how difficult it is to find high-quality jadeite from rough stones.

The peach blossoms have already bloomed?!

"I've already cut it open?" Ye Hantao gently stroked the clear pinkish-purple layer, feeling dizzy as if she were walking on cotton. "What about the rest? Do I have to cut it like this?"

Bei Hong explained, "Cut first, then grind."

Mr. Ni touched his eyebrows. “This material has no cracks and the shape is regular. If we find a suitable old craftsman, we can make one or two bracelets. The remaining scraps can be used to make 20 to 25 rings or pendants.”

After saying that, he looked at Ye Hantao and casually reminded her, "Including the processing fee and reselling it, the value should be between 6 million and 8 million."

The two bidders fell silent.

They arrived early and did hear Director Wan introduce Mr. Ni and Bei Hong.

Originally, I thought that with such a big shot on the show, he wouldn't have time to worry about other things. But who knew that they were all afraid that Ye Hantao would be tricked by someone else!

[Family members, I've really been proven wrong by Ye Hantao!]

[What did you say to mock Ye Hantao?]

If you're going to mock Ye Hantao for buying subpar stones, you're making a fool of yourself.

Isn't this what you're mocking?

[When did you arrive? We were mocking Ye Hantao for saying there were two piles of raw stones in her grandmother's yard!]

The problem is, regardless of whether she got it or not, Ye Hantao has already obtained an Ice-type Violet!

[Of course there is! This raw stone was chosen by Ye Hantao by comparing it to the stones in her grandmother's yard!]

You guys don't actually think she got lucky and managed to snag a rare ice-type violet for 20,000 yuan, do you?

[Could you show us a glimpse of Grandma's yard during this live stream? QAQ No offense intended, just wanted to see the stones.]

[@The "Classmates Are Here" program team!!! Please listen to our demands!!!]

“A price of 4 million is very reasonable,” said the middle-aged man who was the first to bid. “We also need to pay processing fees to have someone do the work.”

Another bidder nodded in agreement, saying, "You might not be able to get this price from someone else."

Jin Shiyue sneered, her gaze towards them filled with arrogance. "This price? If you can't afford it, then don't get in my way."

After saying that, Jin Shiyue turned to face Ye Hantao, her tone still as proud as ever, "According to the program's rules, guests are also allowed to buy and sell, so I'll offer 8 million."

The two bidders were shocked.

"You can't earn 8 million at all!"

"You're maliciously inflating the price!"

Just as Jin Shiyue was about to take out her bank card to make them face reality, she unexpectedly heard He Qiang's voice, "Tao Tao, I'll offer 8.5 million."

"???" Jin Shiyue frowned. "He Qiang, what do you mean?!"

He Qiang ignored her, her expression indifferent, and said, "The highest bidder wins."

This is the first piece of jade that my junior sister has found. She plans to make bracelets from it and one for herself and one for her teacher.

Jin Shiyue was not about to let He Qiang snatch it away, and immediately offered: "9 million".

He Qiang had no intention of giving up. Just as she opened her mouth, another stranger emerged from the crowd.

Upon receiving a signal from his boss, Guan Sen rushed forward and practically shouted, "10 million!!"

The shout of "10 million" silenced the entire room.

【Huh? Is Ye Hantao sure it's an Ice-type Violet?】

I even suspect this is high-grade icy jadeite!

I can understand Jin Shiyue and He Qiang bidding against each other, but what's this stranger's motivation?

Chen Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows high.

He looks familiar.

Ye Hantao recognized the person, "You're the customer who bought all three rough stones!"

"It's me." Guan Sen straightened his collar and gave Ye Hantao a perfectly timed smile. "Our boss really likes violet jadeite and hopes you can part with it."

Chen Xiaofeng chuckled.

Ye Hantao suspected he was mocking the man for being a sucker, "Old Ni and President Bei have already appraised it, it's not worth 10 million."

In fact, she had just been preparing to stop Sister Shiyue and her senior sister from bidding against each other.

Guan Sen straightened his expression and said clearly, "This piece of violet jade is of extraordinary significance to my boss. Let alone 10 million, it's worth 100 million!"

Chen Xiaofeng glanced at Cheng Zhao, whose expression remained unchanged.

Turning his head, his face flushed red, his shoulders trembled, and he still couldn't hold it in any longer, "Haha ...

He Qiang: "11 million."

Guan Sen: "15 million!"

Haha, it's so satisfying to show off with the boss's money.

【？】

Whose foolish son is this?

Jin Shiyue looked displeased; this wasn't about whether or not she could win the bid for the jade.

It's not that we can lose to He Qiang, but we absolutely cannot lose to this stranger!

"I'll offer 1600—"

Ye Hantao quickly raised her hand to cover Jin Shiyue's mouth and said rapidly, "Sister Shiyue, let's just let him buy it!"

Although the proceeds from the sale were donated to charity, she still felt it was a rip-off to sell a person for 15 million.

Kim Shi-wol was unwilling.

However, the right to sell the jade belongs to Tao Tao, so no matter how much she asks for it, it's useless if Tao Tao doesn't sell.

After some negotiation, the deal was struck.

Ye Hantao vaguely realized that the jade had indeed sold for 15 million.

Guan Sen obtained the bank card number from the program crew and then made a phone call in front of everyone.

Ye Hantao heard him address the person opposite him as the account manager.

"Transfer 15 million to this account."

Last time at the store, Guan Sen also made a phone call, and Cheng Zhao explained that this person was using a private bank's large-amount real-time payment system, which could guarantee instant arrival of funds.

Ye Hantao had never heard of any large-amount real-time payment system; she had only ever used the black card given to her by her older brother.

[They actually paid?]

I thought he was trying to inflate the price!

The two people who bid first both looked horrified, hahaha.

He Qiang and Jin Shiyue also looked terrible.

[Hilarious! I need to rewatch the first episode to see how these two treated Ye Hantao. They never imagined they'd spend over ten million on her!]

Hahahaha!

[Doesn't Ye Hantao feel bad?! If she used her own money, this price, after taxes, would have brought in over ten million! She wouldn't have needed to donate it all.]

I feel so sorry for Ye Hantao! What's the difference between this and getting rich overnight only to find out it was a dream?!

Director Wan asked the same question on behalf of the viewers in the live broadcast room.

"I don't mind at all," Ye Hantao said with a very open mind. "If it weren't for the program's funds, but my own money, I probably wouldn't have bought it."

Ye Hantao didn't forget her public persona, saying, "The most important thing is that my family isn't short of 15 million!"

Unfortunately, there was no user feedback.

Cheng Zhao studied Ye Hantao's expression for a few seconds. After noticing that Ye Hantao was touching her nose, he understood that Ye Hantao simply did not believe that her family was short of 15 million.

After seeing Guan Sen off, it was time for Ye Hantao to buy the second stone.

This time, everyone paid even more attention than the first time, keeping a close eye on the stones inside the oil-cutting machine.

One cut, nothing.

Two cuts, nothing.

Three cuts, still nothing.

[Sigh, I thought both pieces would turn green.]

[If she had such a keen eye, Ye Hantao wouldn't need to go on variety shows; she could just start a live stream gambling on jade, hahaha.]

[With a rough stone worth 24,000, Ye Hantao has already produced a near-high-grade icy violet jadeite, and she can brag about it to the fullest!]

The second stone did not yield any green.

Ye Hantao was a little disappointed, but not much.

Now, all she can think about are the two piles of stones in her grandmother's yard.

Are those raw stones?

Or is it really just an ordinary stone that's about to grow moss?

She looked at dozens of rough stones in the shop, and most of them had some similarities in their outer skin to those two piles of stones. The more she looked at them, the more she felt that they were not ordinary stones that she was used to seeing.

But what if those two piles of stones at Grandma's house were raw stones...?

That's impossible.

My maternal grandparents were both retired elementary school teachers, so there was no reason for them to buy two stacks of raw stones and keep them at home.

One of the most similar rough stones was priced at 600,000 yuan.

Where did Grandma and Grandpa get their initial investment...?

If they are all raw stones, wouldn't my grandparents also have some kind of wealthy, hidden identity?

"Ren Lang?!"

"Brother Ren!"

Yuan Kai and Gu Fanghao's voices came over, and Ye Hantao looked in the direction of the crowd.

They were holding Ren Lang's arms on either side.

"I just saw Brother Ren fall towards the oil cutting machine," Su Yi'ang said, patting his chest in relief. "Luckily, Brother Yuan and Xiao Gu pulled him back, preventing him from hitting his head."

Ren Lang shook his head, which was suddenly throbbing with pain. After the pain subsided, he said thank you, "Thank you. I probably didn't sleep well last night."

Ye Hantao originally did not think that this matter had anything to do with her.

Unexpectedly, an electronic voice suddenly sounded, and it was his own system's electronic voice.

[Buzzing sound - Error report - Buzzing sound... Luck - Buzzing sound... Corrected -]

Ye Hantao was startled.

Ren Lang has been untied?

After waiting a few seconds, the electronic voice did not sound again, and Ye Hantao was still puzzled.

Would you like some water?

"Oh, thank you."

Ye Hantao was used to Cheng Zhao asking her if she wanted water and then handing her bottled water, so she subconsciously accepted the water Cheng Zhao offered.

He had already unscrewed the bottle cap beforehand.

Ye Hantao took two sips from the bottle, her mind clearing up, and then she looked down.

In his left hand was an unopened bottle of mineral water, and in his right hand was a bottle of mineral water he had drunk from.

Ye Hantao heard Cheng Zhao's very soft laughter.

He happily took the water bottle that Ye Hantao had drunk from and screwed the cap on.

Ye Hantao: "..."

[You two (pointing and whispering)]

[I'm not going to stan anymore. Cheng Zhao bid over 20 million for a sapphire back then, but he didn't even bid for Ye Hantao's first piece of jade.]

Even if he takes the picture, Ye Hantao won't sell it.

[You shippers, please stop your brains getting watery.]

Soon, the other four groups also took turns feeding stones onto the oil-cutting machine, but each stone was worse than the last.

The stone that He Qiang and Chen Xiaofeng bought yielded a relatively large piece of glutinous jadeite, worth around 60,000 yuan.

Another piece of the same type of jadeite was unearthed, and Ye Hantao and Cheng Zhao weighed it by weight.

It's not very big, but it's worth 20,000 yuan, which is still a good deal.

Jin Shiyue and Yuan Kai bought stones but got nothing, as did Wu Xia and Su Yi'ang.

When Ren Lang saw that neither of their groups had produced a green item, his tense nerves instantly relaxed.

He suspected that his sudden headache was due to being too nervous.

Gu Fanghao handed over the raw stones they had selected to Master Ni.

Old Ni called Bei Hong over to examine him together.

After shining the light on the stone, no one offered any comments, let alone mentioned sending the rough stone into the oil-cutting machine.

Ren Lang felt uneasy, but then he thought, even if the luck of -3 affected him, at most he wouldn't get any green. How much worse could it be?

The next second after he felt relieved, Old Ni shook his head, "This is a fake jadeite rough."

Imitation?

Imitation jadeite rough stone?

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Especially the viewers in the live stream.

They watched Ren Lang talk eloquently the whole way, and now Old Ni says he bought a piece of imitation jadeite rough? Isn't that just a fake stone?!

"Impossible!" Ren Lang strode closer to Old Ni and pointed at the stone, saying, "It's light green in color, covered with sand, and has clear pine flower patterns."

This is the raw stone he bought on his own initiative. After analyzing it again and again, how could it be fake!

Bei Hong said, "This is a quartzite imitation, and the pine flower pattern is artificially dyed. You can try splashing it with water."

Ren Lang's hands were trembling.

He never expected that his luck of -3 would be so terrifying!

Even when Kinshi-wol's luck dropped to -50, he wasn't in mortal danger; he just stayed in the hospital for a while.

With a luck level of only -3, how could he have lost face so badly?!

Ren Lang made no move.

Cheng Zhao was unusually diligent and helped him bring a basin of clean water.

Chen Xiaofeng, always eager for a good show, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on the spot.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, green water flowed down the surface of the stone.

Ye Hantao finally found an opportunity to reduce Ren Lang's credibility in front of Gu Fanghao.

She feigned sudden realization and said, "So you were confusing jadeite rough with ordinary stones!"

Jin Shiyue laughed out loud, showing no mercy.
