N-M Chapter 690 Oh, there is no green
Chapter 690 Oh, there is no green
"Mr. Lin, I place all my hopes on you. Please don't let me down." Yang Hongsheng said to Lin Shirong.
Although he looked very calm, as if he could remain calm even if the world collapsed, he was actually very panicked.
After all, that’s 1 billion!
If he lost this 1 billion yuan, the working capital of Yang Jewelry would be greatly reduced, and some of the secret bids in this gambling stone conference would be invalid.
"Don't worry, Boss Yang. I, Lin Shirong, am here to guarantee your victory. If he had used other materials, I wouldn't be able to guarantee it. But if he used this piece of shitty material, not to mention me, even a three-year-old kid can beat him. Just count the money later." Lin Shirong said confidently.
"Okay, if you win the bet, I'll give you a 1% rebate." Yang Hongsheng said with a beaming face.
Lin Shirong's two old faces also immediately lit up with joy.
A rebate of one percent of one billion is ten million.
With these 10 million, it would be enough for a coffin.
At this time, the lines on their material had already been marked. Because the material was quite large and weighed several hundred kilograms, Lin Shirong did not do it himself. Instead, he found a stone-cutting master to do it, and he personally gave instructions at the side.
Click, click, click!
As the sound of the stone cutter rang out, everyone's heart rose to their throat and they became inexplicably nervous, as if they were cutting their own rough stones.
After Chen Yang fixed the raw stone, he also took a piece of chalk and started drawing lines.
When everyone saw this, they were all speechless.
"I say, young man, is it necessary to draw lines on this piece of material? Just cut it in the middle." Someone shook his head and advised, thinking that Chen Yang was doing something unnecessary.
Normally, junk materials are mostly cut in one piece, so there is no need to draw lines and cut them in fine detail.
"Yeah, why bother? No matter how many lines you draw, you're still not going to get green. Just expect to lose 1 billion to Boss Yang." A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking like a boss said disdainfully.
"Boss Zhou, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. What if this piece of material turns out green? What if the bet goes up?" Yun Batian glared at the middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and retorted because this guy's words were too rude.
He recognized this man. His name was Zhou Jinfu. The Zhou Jewelry he founded was the second largest jeweler in Jiangnan Province after Yang Jewelry. He was also a wealthy man. The Yun family's small Yun Jewelry was far from comparable to him.
Zhou’s Jewelry originally had some cooperation with Yun’s Jewelry, but later because of a word from the Yang family, they cancelled the cooperation with Yun’s Jewelry and instead secretly suppressed Yun’s Jewelry and deliberately made things difficult for it.
"If this material can be used to make jadeite, I will eat the broken pieces." Zhou Jinfu said with contempt.
"Okay, everyone has heard it. If this material can be used to make jadeite, Boss Zhou will eat the gravel. Whoever doesn't eat it at that time is a coward." Yun Batian said impatiently. He was really angry.
"Okay, solve it quickly. Some people are only half-baked at gambling on stones and won't give up until they get to the Yellow River. They were cheated and bought a piece of shitty material, but they don't realize it and treat it as a treasure." Zhou Jinfu said sarcastically.
Chen Yang had originally ignored the comments of the people around him, but Zhou Jinfu's words were too nasty, like he had eaten shit. He couldn't help but curse, "Fuck you, if you want to watch, get out. I didn't invite you to watch me cut stones, you are just a bunch of uninvited, bored guys. If you want to eat shit, eat it yourself."
Even if the other party is a big boss, he will never indulge him and is not afraid of offending him.
When the people around heard this, their faces turned red and they were so angry that their teeth were itching.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Jinfu was even more furious and wanted to fight with Chen Yang.
He is a big boss after all, with a net worth of tens of billions, but he was scolded in public. How could this be intolerable?
"If you want to watch, then watch. If you don't want to watch, then get out! Stop nagging here. I bought the raw stone with my own money. What does it have to do with you how I want to interpret it? If you keep nagging and talking nonsense, I will slap you in the face. Do you believe it?" Chen Yang looked at Zhou Jinfu and said angrily.
"You, you, you..., bastard!" Zhou Jinfu almost fainted from anger.
"Boss Zhou, I'm not trying to scare you. If you dare to nag me again, I, your son-in-law, will slap you in the face. He is not an ordinary person, he is a second-rate person." Yun Batian said to Zhou Jinfu, advising him to stop.
"Okay, okay, I'll see what green you can come up with."
Zhou Jinfu didn't dare to explode in the end. He could only endure the scolding. He made up his mind that he would humiliate Chen Yang severely after he failed in gambling.
The people around him stopped talking, and Chen Yang's ears were much quieter. After drawing a few lines casually, he started the stone cutting machine and operated it himself.
Two hundred kilograms of material is neither big nor small. Although it is not difficult to cut, there is a lot of jade flesh inside and the distribution is complex. Chen Yang finally decided to do it himself and dissect out the jade flesh as completely as possible.
Click, click, click!
As the rough stone and the saw blade come into contact, pieces of powder and debris fly up, and the noise is deafening. Even spraying water all the time is not enough, there will still be dust, so the stone cutters all wear masks, otherwise they will get pneumoconiosis after a long time.
At this moment, there was a sudden muffled click from the stone-crushing machine next door, and a string of sparks flew out.
It turned out that one of the teeth of the cutting saw blade was broken.
The stone cutter quickly lifted up the saw blade.
The idling stone cutter made a rumbling sound, which was completely different from the sound of cutting. The onlookers thought that the stone had turned out green with one cut, so they stopped cutting, causing a commotion.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Stay calm. The knife hasn't cut it yet. The saw blade just broke a tooth and stopped temporarily." said a bystander standing inside, who saw clearly what was happening.
"Oh my god, a saw tooth is broken. This is not a good sign."
"Yeah, is this piece of material going to collapse?"
"Shut up, you know nothing. Broken teeth are a good sign. Do you know why the teeth break? Because it cuts into something hard. Jade is jadeite, which is harder than other stones. Broken teeth mean it cuts into jade."
……
Knowing that the saw teeth were broken, the onlookers started to talk about it.
For superstitious people, a broken saw tooth is not a good sign.
However, some people think about the problem from a scientific perspective and come to the opposite conclusion.
"Pour some water and see." Lin Shirong was the first to come forward and look inside through the cut gap.
No matter what others say, seeing is believing.
After he gave the order, Yang Bufan, who was standing next to him, quickly picked up a kettle and sprayed it on the incision. Lin Shirong took a small brush and cleaned out the debris in the incision.
After cleaning it, he took the flashlight and shone it inside the incision.
I saw that the old man's face looked very solemn.
"How is it, Mr. Lin, is it green?" Yang Hongsheng asked, his face full of anxiety at this moment, he could no longer remain calm.
Although this cut did not cut through the material, it did cut about twenty centimeters deep. If there is no green at all, it means that the material is of questionable quality.
This piece of material was of great importance. In addition to the 10 million yuan cost, he also bet 1 billion yuan with someone else. He could only win, not lose.
Otherwise, even if the Yang family is wealthy and powerful, losing so much money would be an unbearable burden.
"No, I didn't see any green."
After staring at the incision with a strong flashlight for a while, Lin Shirong's face turned ugly.
According to his decades of experience in gambling on stones, the first cut should show green, and he couldn't help feeling anxious if he couldn't see any green.
"Damn it, a material worth 10 million yuan, but it's not green even after cutting so deep, is it broken?"
"I told you, broken teeth are not a good sign. Just now someone said that it was the rhythm of jadeite. Jadeite is too hard and broke the teeth. It's just deceiving oneself."
"Don't talk nonsense. The rough material has not been completely unraveled. One cut cannot prove anything. Maybe if you change the position, it will turn out green."
……
For a moment, there were bursts of discussions among the crowd, with all kinds of opinions expressed at once. Some were pessimistic, while others were bullish.
Chen Yang watched from the side, laughing secretly, thinking that their material only had a little green at the window position, and the rest was all stone. This knife didn't cut it open, and even if it did, it wouldn't have cut out a single bit of green.
He suddenly thought of the rough material worth 3.8 million yuan. It was similar to this rough material, except that there was a piece of jade on the surface close to the skin, and the rest was stone.
The material that the Yang family bought was half a gamble. If the window turned green, it would be worth up to 10 million.
The material that Chen Yang bought was all gambled, and the price was relatively cheap, 3.8 million. If a window was opened and the green piece was cut out, the value could at least be multiplied by ten times, or even dozens of times.
You know, that piece of material contains sub-glass blue water jadeite.
The sub-glass type is infinitely close to the glass type, and blue water jade is a rare type of jade, which will definitely attract a scramble among jewelers.
Originally, Chen Yang didn't want to cheat anyone because it was too shameful. However, the jewelers around him had been sneering and mocking him, which made him angry. He was thinking about whether he should cheat them out of money to teach them a lesson.
"Okay, stop arguing, shut up, and continue with the stone cutting." Yang Bufan shouted loudly with a dark face.
Then he asked the stone-cutting master to go down and he would do the cutting.
The stone-cutting master went down with a wry smile on his face.
People in their line of work sometimes get scolded by customers for having bad luck if they mess up the material.
It is not uncommon for customers to solve half of the problem themselves.
Although Yang Bufan was young and energetic, his hands were shaking slightly as he held the stone cutter. It was obvious that the previous cut did not produce any green, which made him lose a lot of confidence in this material.
However, blessing is not a disaster, and disaster cannot be avoided!
With a determined heart, he aimed the cutting saw blade of the stone cutter at the previous incision and pressed down hard. With a series of violent clicking sounds, the entire piece of raw material was quickly split into two.
Suddenly, pairs of eyes widened and heads popped out.
"Ugh……"
Then a sigh was heard.
Everyone could see that there was no green or crystalline substance on the smooth cross-section of the rough material, only dry stone.
In an instant, the faces of Yang Hongsheng, Yang Bufan and Lin Shirong became extremely ugly, and they obviously found it difficult to accept this reality.
Material worth ten million should have some green color at least, even if it's dog shit green. But now it's just dry stone, which is really unacceptable.
"It shouldn't be like this. It's such a good display, with pine flowers and python patterns, and even a little green on the window. How come there's no green inside after such a big cut?"
"In the world of gambling on stones, nothing is wrong and nothing is impossible. Obviously the green on the window has not penetrated in, and this piece of material is likely to collapse."
"Don't be so absolute. Maybe one more cut will turn out green. After all, this piece of material is so big. Boss Yang, don't be discouraged. Keep cutting."
"That's right. For such a large material, if you can't cut out the jade with just two or three cuts, it doesn't mean anything. Sometimes the jade will hide in a corner of the material and deliberately play hide-and-seek with people. You have to cut all the way to get it."
……
Everyone discussed for a while.
Although it is still possible to continue cutting and there is a possibility of a sudden turnaround, it is obvious that more people are not optimistic about this material.
"Mr. Lin, you should do the cutting. I can't cut the material you chose well." After only one cut, Yang Bufan left and gave the stone cutter to Lin Shirong.
The corners of Lin Shirong's eyes twitched violently, his face turned pale, and he felt like he had been slapped in the face.
He was optimistic about this material and highly recommended it, so Yang Hongsheng bought it.
As for the 1 billion bet with Chen Yang, he also contributed behind the scenes.
If the bet is lost, he will not only be responsible, but also have a great responsibility. So at this moment, it is also Alexander.
"Boss Yang, don't worry. Our material didn't turn green, and that kid's material didn't turn green either, right? Even if it collapsed, his material collapsed more. We won't lose." Lin Shirong said to Yang Hongsheng.
As a result, just as he finished speaking, a muffled clicking sound came from the stone-cutter next door.
A stone weighing dozens of kilograms was separated from the original stone and rolled to the ground.
A clear and smooth cut surface appeared on the large piece of raw stone on the stone cutting machine table.
Swish swish!
Pairs of eyes stared at me.
"Look ahead, has the green color appeared?"
"It seems..., there is no green."
"Really? If there's no green, then I'm relieved."
……
There was a commotion in the crowd.
When they heard that there was no green, many people felt relieved.
For example, the boss Zhou Jinfu who just said that green will eat the gravel.
"What did I say just now? It would be a miracle if this kind of rubbish material could produce green." Zhou Jinfu looked at Chen Yang and said sarcastically.
"Why are you so excited? What are you yelling about? Our piece of material didn't turn green, and their piece of material didn't turn green either, right? This is only the first cut, and it's still unknown who will win." Yun Batian said in a loud voice and glared at Zhou Jinfu fiercely.
"How can they be the same? Boss Yang's material is half-bet, so it is certain that there will be a little green at the window position. Your material is different, it is all bet, and it is very likely that there will be no green at all when you cut it to the end. And you are betting on the green, so isn't it obvious who will win and who will lose?" Zhou Jinfu said with a sneer.
Yun Batian's face suddenly turned pale and he was speechless because what Boss Zhou said was the truth.
