Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Gratitude
Qin Yunyue and Jiangling were bidding against each other for a piece of raw jade, and now the price had reached eighty million.
The spectators were all dumbfounded.
In their view, unless the raw jade contained imperial green of old mine glass type, it was certainly going to be a loss.
However, glass jadeite was extrely rare, and imperial green was the best of jade, even more unreachable.
But for Qin Yunyue and Jiangling, it seed they didn’t care about that at all; rather than saying they were gambling with jade, it was more like a showdown between the two, and neither wanted to lose.
When the bidding reached eighty-five million, Qin Zimo walked over to Qin Yunyue with a worried look and said, “Brother, there’s sothing happening at ho, I want to speak to you for a while.”
Qin Yunyue and Jiangling were locked in a fierce battle over the jade gamble, and if it were ordinary matters, he wouldn’t even pay attention, but hearing his sister say sothing was wrong at ho.
His expression imdiately turned serious, pausing briefly, then said to the stall owner, “Boss Liu, I need to say a few words with my sister, pause the bidding, I’ll return shortly.”
Boss Liu bead and said, “Young Master Qin, please go ahead, we can resu the auction later.”
Qin Yunyue imdiately took his sister to a place away from others.
Qin Yunyue asked Qin Zimo, “Sister, you just said there was trouble at ho, what exactly happened?”
Qin Zimo replied sowhat embarrassedly, “I was lying to you, if I didn’t say that, you would’ve continued bidding against Jiangling for a stone bound to be a loss, is it really worth spending eighty-five million on it?”
Qin Yunyue frowned, “How do you know this raw jade will be a loss?”
Qin Zimo said, “Lin Fei told this stone would be a loss, making you lose everything.”
Qin Yunyue was montarily stunned, tonight’s jade gambling, if there’s a biggest winner, it was undoubtedly Lin Fei and Xiao Ling, billions bet on rising stones, and Xiao Ling earned in billions tonight.
So when Qin Yunyue heard Lin Fei say he would suffer a loss, he couldn’t help but take it seriously.
Seeing her brother’s serious expression, obviously moved by her words, Qin Zimo continued, “Lin Fei also said that just now in front of you, the third old elephant skin raw jade on the left can rise.”
Qin Yunyue imdiately looked at the stall, focusing on that old elephant skin raw jade.
Everyone in front of the stall had to stand about five or six ters away to watch the siblings, all wondering what exactly happened to the Qin family.
Qin Yunyue then looked at Lin Fei, only to find he had already wandered among a pile of raw jade, looking and checking as if picking out raw jade.
Qin Yunyue then made up his mind internally: Xiao Ling believed in Lin Fei, so he bet on rising stones all the way, why shouldn’t he place a bet on Lin Fei once?
With this thought in mind, Qin Yunyue made up his mind and went back to the stall with his sister.
Boss Liu asked Qin Yunyue with concern, “Young Master Qin, no major issue happened at ho, did it?”
Qin Yunyue shook his head, “Just a trivial matter, nothing serious.”
Boss Liu nodded, “That’s good, so shall we continue the auction now?”
Qin Yunyue said, “Boss Liu, the bidding for this raw jade has already gone up to eighty-five million, now I bid ninety million!”
Boss Liu imdiately smiled so broadly that his eyes almost turned into a single line, and he shouted joyfully, “Young Master Qin bids ninety million!”
Another wave of surprise rose around.
This is simply a sky-high price for a stone.
However, before the surprise sank in, Jiangling’s powerful voice rang out, “I bid one hundred million.”
One hundred million?!
Exclamations burst out, everyone looking at Jiangling with incredulity.
The Jiang family wasn’t one of the top ten distinguished families in Huadu; tonight, the Jiang family provided Jiangling with a fund of fifty million, but if a good raw material were found, they could overspend an additional fifty million, so Jiangling’s maximum fund tonight was one hundred million.
Jiangling had already bet everything, gambling everything on this move, if Qin Yunyue bid higher, he could only give up.
But unexpectedly, the Qin Yunyue, who just competed fiercely with him, suddenly smiled and said to Boss Liu, “Boss Liu, the highest price wins, I, Qin Yunyue, am not as financially strong as Young Master Jiang, I concede, this stone belongs to Young Master Jiang.”
Qin Yunyue’s concession surprised many wealthy businessn around because the Qin family is indeed one of the top ten distinguished families in Huadu, and in terms of wealth, undoubtedly more substantial than the Jiang family.
Boss Liu wouldn’t care who conceded, as long as soone paid sky-high prices for his stone, they were his god.
So Boss Liu imdiately laughed until his eyes turned into lines, walked towards Jiangling and said, “Young Master Jiang, congratulations on acquiring this excellent old mine raw jade with a price of one hundred million, would you like to pay by check or bank transfer?”
At this ti, Jiangling seed to calm down a bit, vaguely feeling that Qin Yunyue’s sudden concession was strange; if the Qin family didn’t have enough funds, it was extrely unlikely.
Therefore, Jiangling thought Qin Yunyue’s sudden withdrawal from the auction had other plans.
But, since he had already bought it, he couldn’t change it now, he could only hope that this several hundred kilograms raw jade would be glass jade rising.
Jiangling said to Boss Liu, “I’ll pay by check.”
Then, he took out a check and pen from his pocket, wrote a check for one hundred million and handed it to Boss Liu.
“Thank you, Young Master Jiang, would you like to unwrap the raw jade on-site or take it back for later?” Boss Liu asked after receiving the check.
Jiangling said, “On-site unwrap.”
He couldn’t wait to know whether this raw jade could rise.
Young Master Liu then had workers unwrap the stone.
While everyone’s attention was on the workers unwrapping Jiangling’s raw jade, Qin Yunyue said to Boss Liu, “Boss Liu, I wasn’t able to compete for good material, but since I ca here, I can’t go back empty-handed.”
Boss Liu promptly nodded and said, “Young Master Qin is right, why don’t you look around and see if you fancy anything?”
Qin Yunyue pretended to inspect the raw jades for a while and finally stopped in front of the old elephant skin Lin Fei ntioned, about thirty to forty kilograms, priced only two million, and said, “This one! Although the chance of revealing green is small, it can be a fun purchase.”
Upon seeing the raw jade Qin Yunyue ntioned, Boss Liu was secretly delighted, this raw jade, due to its poor appearance, had no takers among the various guests tonight.
Therefore, when Qin Yunyue wanted to buy this old elephant skin raw jade, Boss Liu instantly said, “Young Master Qin, this raw jade ca from the old mine, how could it not reveal green?”
Qin Yunyue took out his checkbook, wrote a check for two million, and handed it to Boss Liu, saying, “Have it unwrapped here.”
Boss Liu agreed at once and had workers imdiately unwrap the stone for Qin Yunyue.
Both their raw jade stones were gradually being unwrapped amid the machine noise.
Jiangling’s sky-high one hundred million jade raw stone was under keen attention; with the first slice, no green appeared, then another slice, and even after the third, no hint of green.
Jiangling couldn’t stay calm anymore; beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
The spectators had a sense of it too: evidently, Jiangling’s sky-high stone was a loss!
Finally, after dozens of slices, green was revealed, Jiangling couldn’t help but be delighted, but before he could catch a breath, he heard the disappointed voices around him saying, “It’s bean type jade, a loss!”
Jiangling quickly looked at the cut-open raw jade, indeed, as the people around said, the green parts were all of the lowest quality bean type jade.
A breath clogged in Jiangling’s chest, nearly toppling him over, his face pale as if doomsday had co.
If the family knew he paid a sky-high price of one hundred million for a pumpkin-sized bean type jade, it would explode!
At the sa ti, the raw jade Qin Yunyue bought was also unwrapped, everyone’s eyes lit up, shouting, “It’s a rise!”
“Green is visible, green is visible!”
“This is the green water from water type jade, top-quality, worth several tens of millions at least!”
Jiangling imdiately followed the voices to look at Qin Yunyue’s unwrapped jade, revealing a layer of green water type jade, with good water and color, flawless, watching it made his eyes turn red, fists clenched.
Seeing the raw jade he had bought reveal one of the most valuable green water in the water type jade, Qin Yunyue and his sister Qin Zimo exchanged glances, both smiling.
Then, Qin Yunyue looked gratefully at Lin Fei, who was still picking out raw jades: if not for Lin Fei’s warning, he might have squandered one hundred million buying an unrewarding bean type jade raw stone.
