Chapter 953 Two Blocks Collapsed

In fact, Shi Lei was somewhat annoyed. It didn't matter if the legend couldn't continue. The key point was that he lost the bet, and his own funds were not enough.

The stone cutter continued to cut down. He was not as cautious as he was at the beginning because the stone had obviously lost the bet.

He cut along the edge, and the inside was gray and white. The crowd burst into even greater regrets.

He also cut at the symmetrical position. The situation was the same as here. Everyone started to discuss. The magic that Shi Lei showed before had completely become a manifestation of his good luck.

At this time, Gongda said calmly: "Everyone, please be patient. No matter how sharp your eyes are, no one can guarantee that you will not make a mistake once. Mr. Shi just lost a piece of stone. Even if this stone is worthless after it is opened, he still made some money in general."

The discussion gradually subsided, but everyone looked at Shi Lei with eyes that were no longer as enthusiastic as before. They didn't really believe Gongda's words. After all, Gongda was the host of this trade fair. If he lost the first high-priced rough stone, it would have some impact on his future transactions, so he would stand up to help Shi Lei.

Shi Lei also turned around, looked at Gongda, and smiled at him.

Gongda's words did not help Shi Lei's current situation, but they stabilized Shi Lei's mood.

He clearly felt that his vision was very good, and the previous five stones had already proved this. Now he came to gamble on this stone with full confidence, but ended up with a fate of losing the bet. After all, Shi Lei was young, and his mind was indeed a little confused.

But after Gongda spoke, Shi Lei calmed down immediately. Yes, the success or failure of a stone really doesn't mean anything, and Shi Lei only came with 8 million, and now he still has more than 9 million in his hand, which is more or less a million. Shi Lei really shouldn't have any psychological fluctuations because of this.

Not long after, the rough stone was completely solved.

Everyone shook their heads with regret. Although this jadeite has excellent transparency and is indeed glass-type, and it has a lot of green, it is only about five or six millimeters thick.

It is impossible to make a bracelet out of it, so it can only be made into some small ornaments.

In terms of size, it is still possible to make seven or eight Guanyin or Buddha statues. Each one costs 300,000 yuan, which is only about two million yuan.

Although everyone does not know how much Shi Lei spent on this rough stone, it is certain that it is more than five million yuan.

"Not bad, Mr. Shi, there are gains and losses, this is gambling on stones. Don't worry too much." Gongda walked up and comforted Shi Lei softly.

Qu Xingye also stepped forward and whispered to Shi Lei: "Mr. Shi, stop while you are ahead. Although the raw stones with windows can give us a glimpse of the whole situation, the risks are also greater. After all, the ones with windows that can be placed here are all of excellent performance and high prices. Yours is still good. Sometimes, when you look at an excellent raw stone, after taking it out, it is only the thickness of a pencil. This is also a very normal thing. You should make a small profit today. Just treat it as a practice and don't play anymore."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Why hasn't Mr. Qu made a move today?"

Qu Xingye sighed and said, "After all, this may be the last time I will be involved in gambling on stones in my life. I dare not make a move, and I can't bear to make a move. I can't see it clearly..."

Shi Lei nodded and said nothing. At this moment, Mo Bingwen stepped forward again and said, "Mr. Shi, two million, how about it?"

Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Qu Xingye was talking about the thin piece of jade in his hand.

It's useless to keep it. In terms of price, Mo Bingwen should have given a more appropriate price.

However, Shi Lei asked, "It seems that I didn't see Mr. Mo make a move. You are just buying the jadeite we gambled for."

Mo Bingwen smiled faintly and said, "I am older and less likely to gamble. After all, I am in the jade business and prefer to take steady steps. Unless there is a rough stone that I like very much, I usually buy it on the spot. It is better to make a profit than a big loss."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "The topic of taking risks in Capital does not seem to apply to Mr. Mo. Since the old man asked, it is yours."

Everyone had already dispersed, and Shi Lei traded with Mo Bingwen again. Afterwards, Shi Lei continued to trade among the rough stones.

Soon, he selected another rough stone. When he asked Gongda for the price, Gongda was a little surprised: "Mr. Shi, are you still going to gamble?"

"Haha, didn't you just say that I still have some profit? I'm not here to make money, but mainly to learn. I won't feel at ease if I don't pay some tuition."

Gongda laughed and said, "Mr. Shi is an interesting person. This rough stone is better than the previous one and is also bigger. So, the price is 9 million."

Shi Lei took it on the spot without hesitation. After paying, he only had more than 2 million in his own funds.

The master who opened the stone was still asked to open the stone on the spot, and those who had dispersed gathered again.

In fact, it was not because of Shi Lei's previous performance that so many people watched him open the stone. The main reason was that these rough stones with windows were all priced at millions of yuan. No matter who opened the stone, there would be a large number of people watching. It's just that Shi Lei just lost a piece of the bet and bought the second one so quickly, so more people gathered around.

The stone was slowly opened, and everyone had different opinions, but Shi Lei frowned.

When a small part of the stone was opened, Shi Lei knew that he had failed in the gamble again.

This time, the good performance of this stone was not even as long as the previous one. The water head quickly deteriorated and soon approached the glutinous variety.

After it was finally cut out, the size was good, but less than one-tenth of this jade was glass-type, and most of it was glutinous.

Between the glass and glutinous types, there is a small amount of ice-type, which can be cut out and made into different ornaments, but the appearance of a large number of glutinous parts means that this jade has been completely ruined.

Fortunately, the size is not bad. In the end, Mo Bingwen once again bought the jade in Shi Lei's hand for two million. This piece of jade is of good size and should be able to make two bracelets. It is precisely because of those two bracelets that Mo Bingwen offered a high price of two million. Otherwise, it would be less than one million.

Qu Xingye finally chose a rough stone. After bargaining with Gongda, he finally sold it for 5.8 million.

Seeing Shi Lei lose again, Qu Xingye said with some worry: "Mr. Shi, please don't play anymore. If you continue playing, I will be your lesson."

Shi Lei smiled slightly. At this moment, his heart was very calm. He probably realized what kind of problem had occurred.

He looked at the rough stone in Qu Xingye's hand and said, "Has Mr. Qu chosen it?"

"I hesitated for a long time about this one, but it seems that someone else has also taken a fancy to it, so I had to grab it first. I don't expect a big increase, just to help me keep a lot of funds first. I need to continue to observe." Having said that, it can be seen that Qu Xingye is still full of confidence in the rough stone in his hand.

Shi Lei nodded and asked again: "Are you going to open the stone?"

"Yes, it must be opened." Qu Xingye handed the stone to the master who opened the stone. After thinking about it, he reminded him again with worry: "Mr. Shi, please don't play anymore. I know you probably lost some money, but with your net worth of millions, it's really not worth indulging in it."
