Rebirth of the soul rekindles the dream of the beauty of the country
Chapter 16 Cutting a Hot Potato
The stone selection officially began, and representatives from various companies came on stage one by one to select stones. Some of the contestants patted the stones with their hands to listen to the sound, some used flashlights to illuminate the gloss of the stones, and some identified the texture of the stones. Through various means, each of them selected the stones that they were satisfied with.
It was the turn of the representative of the North American Jade Group to select stones. The representative pretended to pick and choose, and finally walked towards stone No. 18. Rulong had already secretly learned the trick of deception. This trick is not a magical power. It can be learned with just one thought, and it is easy to deceive ordinary people. Seeing that the representative was about to walk to stone No. 18, Rulong secretly cast a spell. No matter how hard the representative looked, he couldn't find the stone No. 18 he wanted. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Seeing that the time was about to run out, the host reminded the representatives of the North American Jade Group from time to time: "The time is about to run out, the representatives of the North American Jade Group, please quickly select the stones."
The CEO of the North American Jade Group had sparks in his eyes. I don’t know what’s wrong with the representative. After the matter is over, if he doesn’t give a reasonable explanation, he will not be forgiven.
Rulong didn't want to cause any trouble, so he learned another small spell, the traction spell. These were the basic skills that Rulong had secretly learned from the Dragon Qi Sect's Sutra Library, and now they came in handy. As soon as Rulong performed it, the representative of the North American Jade Group involuntarily picked up a stone and walked out.
The host couldn't wait to say, "Well, the representatives of the North American Jade Group have finished selecting stones and have chosen the stones they are satisfied with. Is this the king of jade this year? Let's wait and see."
The North American Jade Group has held the top spot for many years, and with its strong corporate strength, the heads of companies that have business dealings with it or want to do business with it have begun to congratulate it. Boss Li of the Huaxia Jade Group is full of envy.
"Now we are at the end," the host announced excitedly. "Please welcome the last representative of Huaxia Jade Group, Rulong Select Stone," the host continued.
The whole audience was in an uproar. Why? Because all the company representatives were more or less famous, and they heard the name Rulong for the first time. Huaxia Jade Group was not a small group, but a well-known and well-known company. How could they dare to use a newcomer in such an occasion? Could it be a dark horse?
Rulong saw it with his own eyes and heard it in his heart, but he didn't take it seriously. He thought to himself, you must be surprised, the excitement is still to come, Rulong's name is destined to become a legend in the gambling stone world from now on.
Boss Li knew how powerful Rulong was, so he sat upright, his eyes full of confidence and pride. Rulong walked straight to the No. 18 stone, picked up the stone and returned to the representative area.
The fat middle-aged man of the North American Jade Group had anger in his eyes, his body was shaking with anger, and his expression was a little puzzled and surprised. The representative of the North American Jade Group could now see the No. 18 jade, and there were waves of doubts in his heart. The host announced that the selection of the stones was over and the stone cutting began, starting with the first person drawn.
With the roar of the cutting machine and the rotation of the grinding wheel, the stone cutting is carried out in a tense and meticulous manner, just like peeling an onion, peeling off layer by layer, greening, rising sharply, and with the constant shouting, each company has reaped a lot of rewards. Among them, the most conspicuous is a special purple jade, which is the aristocrat among jades, famous for its noble color and quite favored by the rich. When the stone just shows a little special purple, the merchants are already very excited, because it is not only the jade itself that is valuable, but also the reputation and publicity value that this rare jade will bring, which is quite advertising meaningful.
This is a competition organized by the Jade Association, and all major companies are participating. Everyone is well-mannered and will not shout loudly easily. Naturally, it is not as lively as the gambling stones in the market, but the whispering and discussions still show the excitement of the participants, which is enough to show the excitement of stone cutting. The excitement of stone cutting is actually a curiosity about the unknown uncertainty, a concern about interests and a reaction to the gap between gains and losses.
Soon it was the turn of the North American Jade Group to cut the stone. Everyone stretched their necks, not daring to miss any details. The host said excitedly from time to time: "North American Jade Group, last time they cut out seven-color jade worth more than 1 billion yuan. Although it was mixed colors, the valuable thing was that the arrangement was reasonable, just like a rainbow, so it was also called rainbow jade. What kind of jade can they cut out this time?"
The first layer of skin peels off, leaving nothing. Well, some say the best is yet to come, others say what remains is the essence. Everyone is generous in praising and flattering.
The second layer still had no green, and the third layer had no change. The whole audience began to be silent and held their breath. What happened? Could it be cut down? Some people speculated that it might be some extremely valuable jade, that is, the kind of jade that is small in size but very special. Everyone was talking about it, and the face of the boss of the North American Jade Group turned green. The representative was scared and broke out in a cold sweat, and his limbs were numb, because he knew that if it was cut down, even if it was not cut down, as long as he could not cut out outstanding jade, he would be punished by the North American Jade Group. After all, in the eyes of the other party, it was he who destroyed the other party's plan and caused huge losses.
The fourth and fifth layers, like the onion skin peeling off layer by layer, if it weren't for the stone from the North American Jade Group, everyone would have given up. Perhaps the precious jade is in the core of the stone, some people still hope for it, and still stubbornly insist on it.
The last layer of stone skin fell off, and the slag on the ground crushed the hearts of everyone in the North American Jade Group. This is simply a black swan event, a heavy blow to the North American Jade Group. Some are happy and some are sad, but who knows whether the superficial joy and sorrow in the business world are true or false. Maybe some are still secretly happy, with a hint of smile hidden in the depths of their eyes.
The stone that Rulong took began to be cut. With the previous failure of the North American Jade Group, everyone had less confidence in the subsequent cutting. As the grinding wheel turned, the first layer of skin fell off, which was normal. The second layer of skin falling off was also normal. Some people began to compare it with the North American Jade Group, wondering if it would be cut down again?
When the third layer of stone skin fell off, Boss Li's face was tense, and his confidence in Rulong began to waver. When the fourth layer of skin fell off, Li Yuqin also felt a little desperate. When the fifth layer of skin fell off, Boss Li deliberately looked at Rulong. Seeing Rulong's calm and composed look, Boss Li inexplicably regained his confidence. Other merchants and representatives were not as optimistic as Boss Li. They all started to discuss and almost believed that the stone was cut badly. After all, Huaxia Jade Group's cutting was not ideal every time. People tend to have inertial thinking, and sometimes they look at people through tinted glasses.
Soon, the fifth layer of stone skin fell off and the stone changed. Someone shouted, and everyone looked closely. Sure enough, the stone was stained with a faint white color, which was not a white impurity. It was like white smoke, seeming to be there and not there.
"It's really not simple." Someone saw the secret of this stone. Everyone was very excited, as if they were going to witness a miracle. No matter whose stone it was, it didn't affect everyone's interest in seeing a miracle happen, unless they were enemies.
The CEO of the North American Jade Group was furious. The stone was supposed to be theirs, and it was in their pockets, but now it was taken away by someone else. Yes, it was taken away. That's how the CEO of the North American Jade Group felt. He had lost his mind. The treasure unexpectedly became someone else's. The hatred and resentment were indescribable. The man was innocent, but he was guilty of possessing the treasure.
Similarly, the CEO of the North American Jade Group also hated their representative. The better the jade he found, the deeper his hatred would be. Finally, amid exclamations, the last layer of stone skin fell off. The center of the stone was actually a pure white jade emitting a faint white mist. The color was not important, what was important was the faint mist. There is a legend in the jade industry that jade with a faint mist is called spiritual jade. The value of spiritual jade is inestimable, because spiritual jade can prolong life. For the rich, it is a priceless treasure.
The stone cutter's hands were shaking. When he realized that he might cut a precious jade, he was extremely careful, for fear of damaging it. So he cut the stone very slowly. However, everyone was so excited that no one cared whether the stone was cut slowly.
The stone cutter had reason to be excited. He could brag about it for the rest of his life. Who else could cut such a precious jade? Except himself. The CEO of the North American Jade Group was so angry that he almost vomited blood. His representative had fainted, but no one noticed. Even if they did, no one would care.
Li Yuqin's eyes were already shining with divine light, and she was in awe of Rulong's gambling stone skills. Boss Li Xiaotian was extremely proud of his wise decision, his vision, and his harvest. This year's stone king, infinite scenery.
But after the excitement, everyone calmed down. No one came to congratulate Boss Li Xiaotian, because they knew that this was a hot potato. Those who had bad relationships gloated over the misfortune, and those who had good relationships sighed repeatedly. How could they come forward to congratulate and make things worse? Those who had average relationships did not care about it and ignored it. Some people even watched the excitement without thinking it was a big deal. Li Xiaotian also realized the seriousness of the matter. When the host excitedly said that Huaxia Jade Group had cut out a piece of spiritual jade, and the judges estimated that the minimum value was 10 billion, he did not stand up, and his whole body was cold. Only Li Yuqin, who was not afraid of tigers, was excited.
Li Xiaotian understood. It was tens of billions! And it was Lingyu. If it was not handed over in this place, it would be a disaster. If you have a life to cut it out, you have to have a life to take it back. No security company dared to escort it, and no insurance company dared to compensate. If you can't take it back, you have to sell it, but who dares to take it? Those who dare to take it must have suppressed the price. Li Xiaotian was very unwilling to sell it at a low price, and a sad smile appeared on his face. It was Li Yuqin who went to take the Lingyu and put it in her pocket. She pulled his frightened father out.
Li Yuqin understood that the matter was serious and they had to return to China as soon as possible. Rulong naturally followed her. Rulong thought that fortunately he had foresight and let Ruxin and her family return to China earlier. He expected that something similar would happen. If Ruxin's family was implicated, he would be afraid to act rashly and would not be able to deal with it.
Rulong had never thought that such a big thing would happen before, and he had never thought that there would be spiritual jade on the earth. However, when Rulong used his spiritual sense to scan those stones, he found the spiritual jade, and he had already anticipated what would happen later, but he was not afraid. Of course, Rulong did not like the spiritual energy of the spiritual jade.
36 strategies, running away is the best strategy. Li Xiaotian gathered his men, including Rulong, there were 13 people, ten of whom were bodyguards hired by Li Xiaotian, all of whom were retired special forces soldiers and experienced in many battles.
Everyone got into two cars. Li Xiaotian, Li Yuqin, Rulong, and three bodyguards squeezed into one car. Fortunately, the car was an off-road vehicle with a large space. The other car also had seven people.
