Cutting out the remainder of the stone was to be much more straightforward. Soon Lin Luo was able to remove a piece of agate jade weighing 4 or 5 kilograms from the jadeite, and under the shining lights it exuded a charming brilliance.

“Brother, I will spend 2 million to buy your jadeite!”

“I’ll pay 2.1 million!”

The people who had left before gathered again, surrounded the jadeite cutting machine, and began to make desperate bids.

The price soon reached 2.6 million, after which people’s price increases began to slow down, and only those from large energy companies continued to bid.

“Someone has asked me to buy this jade on their behalf. Please give me face, and if there are other jade in the future, I will not compete with you.” At this time, a middle-aged fat man with a beer belly and a shiny slicked back hairstyle spoke up. The fat man cupped his hands at the people around him as he spoke.

No one really knew why but in the end the bidding really stopped, and the final bid was 2.8 million.

Seeing that no one continued to bid, his face suddenly showed a complacent expression, “Little brother, since no one is bidding anymore, why don’t you sell this jadeite to me?”

“Don’t sell it to him, the price is too low!” He Kun whispered to Lin Luo.

Agate is a kind of jade that you don’t have to worry about selling anywhere, especially if it’s such a big piece with good texture and a festive camellia ribbon pattern as it means that it contains a lot of fire elements. That this person actually wanted to buy it for 2.8 million is absolutely impossible!

Lin Luo agreed with He Kun. He didn’t have to sell it either. If he brought it back to Yin Ye, he could earn more at the auction, but before he could speak, another slightly strange voice interjected, “I give 3 million.”

Lin Luo turned his head, and it turned out that it was the Federal merchant again. He was squeezed out by the crowd, but as he was big and had an electronic translator that could amplify his voice, he was not hindered from bidding in the slightest.

Upon seeing this, the fat man flushed angrily and glared at the Federal man, “Do you understand the rules? The price has been negotiated here, how can you get in again?!”

“Really? I think he didn’t agree.” The man from the Federation replied.

“I, I’ll pay 3.05 million!” The fat man blushed down to his thick neck, gritted his teeth, and added another 50,000. Such a large piece of material is enough for his energy company to digest for several days. He must win it.

“3.1 million.”

“3.15 million!”

“3.2 million.” The Federal merchant added to the bid again without pause, and without even batting an eye.

“You…you…you wait for me!” The fat man’s hands shook with anger, but the price was already beyond his acceptable range. In the end, he had to give up the bid and squeezed out the crowd angrily.

Neither Lin Luo nor the Federalist took this fat man to heart, and quickly completed their second transaction.

Lin Luo continued on to start his third piece of jadeite. This was the red wax skin jadeite that he bought for 800,000 credit, and it is also the piece he was most looking forward to.

The look of this piece of jadeite was very mediocre, it was only the size of a basketball and doesn’t have any python bands or loose flowers. The only valuable aspect to it is probably its matrix stone. Red wax matrix belongs to the half-mountain and half-water family of stones. It has a thin skin and plenty of flesh, and easily produces high quality jade. Its because they generally have a high return on gambles that the seller offered such a price.

The Federalist didn’t turn around and leave immediately this time, but stood by and watched Lin Luo cut the stone with great interest.

Lin Luo still used the stone grinding method. Almost as soon as he rubbed the surrounding matrix away he saw the jade underneath. However this green looked wrong. It was a bit gray, and the texture looked a bit bad, more like a dry green.

As the window surface that was sanded open grew larger and larger, large groups of dark green began to appear on the gray-green base, which looked very abrupt.

“Dry end, that’s ok!” He Kun patted Lin Luo on the shoulder and said.

Compared to the previous piece, Lin Luo’s current jadeite looks mediocre, and the jadeite is not big. He Kun estimates that he will suffer a little bit.

Lin Luo smiled without saying a word, and continued to grind it down. As a result, a touch of gold was revealed in the center of the cyan block.

“Fu̲c̲k̲ ! It’s, it’s, it’s…” He Kun couldn’t even say anything at all.

No matter how mediocre jade is, as long as it has a touch of gold, its value will be very different! The gold element is the most scarce among all the natural elements! Every time it appears, it will inevitably be able to stir up sky-high prices!

Especially as this gold is still expanding. It seems that the value of this jadeite has to be at least tripled, or even more than five times higher!

“Brother! I’ll pay 3 million, sell it to me!”

“I’m paying 3.2 million credits!” These people can’t even wait for the jade to be completely unlocked before they start bidding.

“Sorry, I won’t sell this jade.” Lin Luo shook his head and said.

“Brother, don’t be stubborn! The price we offer will definitely not let you down! Think about it again!” Those people didn’t give up, and kept pestering him.

However, Lin Luo was determined not to sell it. After he finished cutting the jade, he immediately put it into his own space button, and those people could only leave in disappointment.
