Chapter 15: Jadeite Storm – Part 2
“Xiao Lin! You…” Wang Ze looked impatient, and just wanted to persuade Lin Luo not to waste money, but was stopped by Xing Mo.
Xing Mo silently stared at the young man, watching him stand there confidently and calmly, and the original turbulent emotions in his heart slowly calmed down.
Lin Luo paid the man with one hand and received the goods in the other. The crowd onlookers outside were also whispering, thinking that Lin Luo must want to buy the stone in order to calm people down.
After the man got the money, he became more and more contemptuous of Lin Luo. This piece of jadeite was selected from scraps and carefully crafted to look exactly like a piece in Xing Mo’s shop before it was used to cause trouble. This type of scrap is the most cheap to get and sells for 1,000 to 2,000 credits. All the man can think is that if this idiot boy actually spent 100,000 to buy it he must be really stupid.
Even the stone was bought from him, things have still become more troublesome for the shop now. He has been shooting the whole process and left sufficient evidence. By this time, if takes what he has to the Stone Gambling Association, the reputation of Xing Mo’s shop will definitely plummet.
At that time, that person will definitely reward him heavily! This business is really profitable!
“Okay! Now that I have received the money, this piece of trash is yours! See ya!” The man accepted it when he saw him, and was about to leave, but he didn’t forget to continue to black talk before he left.
“Wait a minute.” Lin Luo still smiled and said.
“What?! You have buyers’ remorse?” the man said vigilantly.
“No.” Lin Luo replied with a good temper, “I plan to cut this piece of jadeite to prove that it is a good piece of jadeite. I don’t know if you would like to stay and watch?”
Lin Luo was polite, but the man knew that if he refused, they might say that he was guilty or something.
The man sneered, “Well, I’ll see how you can prove that this piece of garbage is good jadeite.”
“Okay, but the place here is a bit small, let’s go to the stone square outside.”
“Okay!”
The man secretly rejoiced in his heart, this stupid young man, does he want more people to see when he loses the gamble and opens the rock to see more blank rock?
Everyone followed Lin Luo and left Xing Mo’s shop, heading to Stone Cutters’ Plaza.
Lin Luo spent a bit of money to rent a jadite cutting and sanding machine, then aligned the larger piece of the jadeite that had been cut in half on the stone cutter.
The man sneered as Lin Luo pressed the chrome blade, and waited to see how pained he looked after cutting.
Instead he heard someone shouting, “The fog is coming out! The fog is coming out!” excitedly in his ear.
It’s foggy? How can that be?
“It looks like honey mist!”
Honey mist is a good mist for betting on rocks. If honey mist appears after grinding away the outer layer of jadeite skin, it often indicates that there may be a jade inside that is good for water elements.
Lin Luo calmly replaced the chrome knife with a sanding wheel, and began to press it against the honey mist area .
When the sanding wheel stopped, Xing Mo helped to sprinkle water on the cut surface, and a hint of faint blue came into view.
“Blue water jade!!” Blue water jade is a very rare type. Its color and transparency are as transparent and clear as the clearest sea water. It contains extremely rich general energy and mild water elemental energy.
Looking at the exposed jade surface, although the color of this blue water jadeite is a little lighter, the water element is very good, at least above the oil green type. Once it is completely polished, it may weigh a kilo and sell for a high price of at least 1 million credits.
The troubled man looked at the exposed jade in disbelief, as if he saw a ghost. This piece of jadeite was obviously picked up from the waste pile in their warehouse which were sorted by several stone gambling experts! After screening together, it is impossible to produce such good jade from these scraps!!
The man wanted to shout that Lin Luo moved his hands and feet [1], but he obviously got this jadeite from the store, and watched Lin Luo bring it here. With so many eyes watching along the way, Lin Luo didn’t have time at all. It was impossible to have the opportunity to take a better jadeite out along the way…
Could it be… those experts really took a stab at it?
Everyone was in shock. Such a piece of scrap that everyone is not optimistic about has actually opened excellent quality jade…?
Lin Luo was unaffected, and slowly continued to sand down the stone, and finally pulled out a piece of blue water jade weighing 1.4 kilograms [2] from this piece of jadeite.
“Hibiscus pattern, it is a hibiscus jade! It has gone up! It has gone up! It is a big increase in value!” Wang Ze could no longer restrain his excitement and began to shout. For only 100,000 credits, he bought a million-credit jade of hibiscus pattern water clarity and blue color, which is definitely a profit!
This is simply a complete reversal! If a jade as good as blue water can be extracted from the jadeite, how could it be fake jadeite?! I’m afraid these people are going to regret until their intestines are blue, right?
Wang Ze looked at the troubled man provocatively, and when he saw that his face was gray and defeated he was thrilled.
“Boss, I said you should find a stone casually. If we didn’t choose this jadeite, the blue water jade would be ours!” One of the man’s helpers whispered.
“Shut up! Can jadeite be the same as ordinary stones?! Do you think jadeite skins are so easy to forge?! Fuck off!” The man grit his teeth and grumbled.
