Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Zhou Qi made four consecutive cuts, which took a full hour, before he divided the huge raw stone into six parts.

Beads of sweat appeared on the master's forehead, and it was obvious that this cutting had taken a lot of energy.

Some people in the waiting crowd began to get impatient and the atmosphere became a little tense.

Zhou Qi said nothing more, picked up the crowbar and walked forward. When he pried open a corner, the sharp-eyed people saw a hint of green.

“It’s informative!”

There was an exclamation from the crowd.

Liu Zhaoqing and Shang Zizhe's faces immediately darkened - wasn't this stone said to be worthless? How come it still produced material?

When Du Qianqian and Du Bowen heard the news, they were delighted and hurried forward to check.

Du Bowen asked eagerly: "How is the quality?"

Zhou Qi didn't say much, and called Du Bowen to help. Together, the two of them erected the top layer, revealing the full view of the interior.

When the green interface appeared, the crowd was shocked at first, and then some people began to shake their heads.

An experienced expert commented:

"Although this stone is jadeite, it is of the glutinous variety. The transparency is OK, and there are no cracks. But overall it can only be considered below average. It would be fine if there were no mistakes in the cutting. As it is now, at most I can just break even."

"Haha, you lost."

Shang Zizhe suddenly said. After seeing the result of his bet, he couldn't help but shout out:

"Mine is a glutinous variety with a little bit of ice variety. Although not much, it has ice variety elements after all, while yours is only glutinous variety, which is one level lower in quality, so I win!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on. Liu Zhaoqing also looked confused, as if he realized that things were not simple.

Shang Baochang frowned and asked his son seriously, "What the hell are you doing?"

Shang Zizhe explained that he had made a private bet with the other party before, asking the other party to publicly admit that he was not as good as him, and added a small condition of one dollar, that was all.

Because Du Bowen was present, he did not mention anything more private, but changed the subject, pointing at Lu Huanian and saying:

"You just said that if you find any material, you'll eat the whole stone. Now that we've opened up so much, what do you say? Go ahead and chew it."

Lu Huanian looked extremely unhappy and said in defense:

"That's just an exaggeration. Even if the material is cut, the quality is not high. Such goods, even if they are full of material, the market price is only more than one million. After random cutting, the cost may not be recovered. It is no different from waste."

Du Qianqian had mixed feelings. Although she had opened the material, she still seemed to have lost. She remembered Zhou Qi saying that this was the most valuable material in the venue. Was she going to be disappointed in the end?

Liu Zhaoqing seemed extremely excited: "Save those little tricks of yours for later use when you get back."

"bring it on."

Liu Zhaoqing continued: "This master..."

Liu Zhaoqing had a victorious smile on his face, while Shang Zize seemed a little excited.

Most of the spectators around had heavy expressions. Although the bet had nothing to do with them, Xing Zheshen's incident and Liu Zhaoqing's slightly provocative attitude made them tend to favor Zhou Qi.

Now seeing that Zhou Qi seemed to have been defeated, everyone felt an indescribable depression in their hearts.

However, at this moment, Du Bowen spoke with a hint of doubt: "Xiao Zhou, look at the color under this stone, isn't it a little different?"

Du Bowen was not an expert and did not understand the ins and outs of this, but his words stunned everyone.

"Yes."

After Zhou Qi responded, he and Du Bowen placed the top layer of raw stone on the ground, then carefully uncovered the second layer and tried to stand it upright.

The result of this move was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Wow!"

There was a burst of exclamations at the scene, and people looked at the changes before their eyes in disbelief.

The newly exposed surface is not only darker in color, but also much more transparent than the previous one. Someone immediately exclaimed: "This is ice type! And the water quality is also top-notch."

Xing Zheshen was also very surprised. He eagerly supported himself with a cane and went forward to check. After comparing the two pieces of raw stones, he shouted to the people around him: "Come and help, open the remaining pieces and have a look!"

As more rough diamonds are revealed...

"Oh my god! Glass seed!"

"This piece is also glass!"

"Oh my god! Imperial green glass of the finest quality!"

The exclamations were getting louder and louder, and the entire cutting factory seemed to have experienced a major earthquake. The crowd rushed forward like a tide, and the flash lights kept flashing to record this explosive moment.

Du Qianqian covered her mouth. Although she didn't understand these professional terms, she knew what the words "Imperial Green" meant - this was exactly the top-grade jade material that Liu Zhaoqing had always dreamed of.

Zhou Qi’s previous prediction came true. This rough stone indeed contained the highest value in the entire venue.

Really, really won!

He once promised to bring victory, and now, Zhou Qi did it.

There was only him in her eyes, and she almost wanted to rush towards him and hug him regardless of everything, if Zhou Qi hadn't been busy moving the raw stones with everyone else.

Once again, this man performed miracles and never let her down—not even once.

Everyone present was also very excited. From the glutinous jade to the ice jade, and finally the top-grade glass jade imperial green, this layer-by-layer progression of jadeite is simply unbelievable.

The scene was so shocking that some people even felt their heads were about to explode.

However, Zhou Qi seemed exceptionally calm, because he already knew the secret inside the rough stone: the most precious glass-type imperial green was hidden in the deepest part and in the largest area.

The value of this top-grade jadeite alone is over 500 million, not to mention the other equally excellent parts.

When the rough stone was first cut, the vertical cut revealed the internal layers, but also reduced its overall value.

This time, Zhou Qi carefully chose horizontal cutting to ensure that every piece of material was best utilized.

As the bidding sounds one after another:

"We'll pay 600 million!"

We'll increase it to 650 million!"

"Hello, I am the representative of Lao Fengxiang. We can provide 700 million yuan. I hope you can give us priority."

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely enthusiastic. Who would have thought that the original stone purchased for 1.8 million would now soar to 700 million.

This is a number that many people dare not even dream of, and it is wealth that cannot be accumulated in several lifetimes.

Shang Zizhe stood there in a daze, his face full of disbelief.

"This is impossible!"

In fact, he already knew the result when he saw the ice jadeite, but it all still exceeded his imagination.

In the private trial, Zhou Qi's performance seemed extremely mediocre, or even useless. His two consecutive choices made people shake their heads and sigh.

However, when he arrived at the public gambling stone field, he seemed like a different person and actually picked out the best materials.

Is this just a coincidence? The possibility is very small.

Shang Zizhe felt like he was being teased. He thought Zhou Qi pretended to be ignorant on the surface, but was actually a hidden master.
