Chapter 954 What Is the Reason?

Shi Lei remained silent, quietly watching the stone cutter, watching him grind the skin of the raw stone bit by bit.

With his own eyes, Shi Lei confirmed the stone that Qu Xingye chose.

According to Shi Lei's current understanding, this stone should be able to produce at least 10 million-level jadeite, and it is certain to increase.

However, Shi Lei became very uncertain. He had already thought about why he had such a big deviation in two consecutive stones, but he still wanted to use the stone chosen by Qu Xingye to confirm it.

Not long after, Qu Xingye's face completely sank.

Because this stone is exactly the same as Shi Lei's just one. The skin is not far away, and it becomes almost opaque, but the surface is still a little shiny.

Unless the surface is full of jadeite, and this stone can take out seven or eight bracelets, otherwise, he can't even keep the original cost.

The final result was soon revealed. Not to mention the original cost, the performance of this stone in the future is even worse than Shi Lei's just one.

Fortunately, Shi Lei's piece was quite large in the end, but the further Qu Xingye's piece was opened, the more it looked like limestone, and it was completely broken.

Holding the jadeite that looked like a small handle, and almost all of it was glutinous, Qu Xingye wanted to cry but had no tears.

"It's okay, there's still a chance." Shi Lei patted his shoulder, and Qu Xingye could only return a smile that was uglier than crying.

In the end, Qu Xingye's piece of jadeite was also taken away by Mo Bingwen, and the price was only 280,000.

Seeing that the bets were all broken, and there was no bet increase, the people who participated in the trade fair couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. They were hesitant, and now they dared not to take action.

Time passed quickly, and the sky darkened. None of the raw stones that were opened at high prices could be sold.

Back at the hotel, Qu Xingye's mood was obviously greatly affected. At dinner, he specially asked for a bottle of white wine, and drank it by himself without paying attention to Shi Lei. Soon, he was drunk.

Shi Lei persuaded him to go back to the guest room. Since it was next door, Shi Lei soon heard Qu Xingye opening the door again.

He was a little worried, so he opened the door and felt relieved after a look.

A young local woman with heavy makeup was standing at the door and was walking in. It was obvious that Qu Xingye was upset and, under the influence of alcohol, he found a woman to vent.

He knew how to vent, which meant that his confidence had not been completely lost. Shi Lei returned to the room with peace of mind.

At the trade fair, Shi Lei chose five pure rough stones at the beginning, all of which were very good with his precise vision. But then the ones with windows were repeatedly missed. Even the one that Qu Xingye bought was actually a mistake made by Shi Lei.

This was obviously not a coincidence, but because the rough stones without windows were jade materials, and the ones with windows could be regarded as jade articles to some extent.

Shi Lei didn't know whether his estimate was accurate, but he could only think of this possibility. Otherwise, there is no reason why he had missed three stones in a row, and he always believed that there must be some reason why the black card allowed him to draw three jade mastery cards.

However, Shi Lei did not rush to use the three jade mastery cards, but took a bath and went to bed early.

The next morning, it was Qu Xingye's turn to not sleep well. He didn't know how late he had been tossing with that woman. I guess after the woman was tossed to the point of exhaustion, Qu Xingye also tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

After breakfast, the two came to the trade fair again. Shi Lei still strolled among the raw stones that had been opened by the window. After thinking for a long time, he chose a stone in his mind.

Then, he quietly took out the three jade mastery cards and used them one by one from elementary to advanced. After confirming that he had completely digested the three cards, he looked at the raw stone he had chosen before again.

In an instant, Shi Lei found a lot of differences. The knowledge in his mind was effectively combined into a whole. He finally realized where he had deviated.

Needless to say, he also saw that the rough stone he had chosen today was definitely not worth the bet. However, his luck seemed to be better than yesterday. The jade in this stone should still be worth four or five million.

Shi Lei looked at the other stones again. Unlike yesterday, he saw many new problems and re-selected several possible rough stones.

He hesitated a little, whether to use the six sense cards at the same time. Perhaps, with these six sense cards, the results he got would be more accurate.

While hesitating, Shi Lei found that the stone he had taken a fancy to before was bought by a woman in her thirties and sent to the stone-cutting master to be cut.

Shi Lei stepped forward quickly, just in time to use this stone to test his current vision.

Nearly an hour later, the stone was finally completely unraveled. People present offered bids one after another, with the highest bid being 5.6 million. However, Mo Bingwen chose to give up. He offered 5 million at the highest and then stopped.

Finally, the woman sold the jadeite. When someone asked her whether it had gone up or down, she smiled bitterly and said, "It's a small increase. I bought it for 5.5 million."

Uh...

The difference is 100,000. This is really a small increase, or even no increase at all.

Most people thought it was a bit boring and didn't dare to buy it easily, but Shi Lei smiled, because he was completely sure that his vision was enough to see through these rough stones that had been opened.

Walking towards the area where the rough stones were placed, Shi Lei looked at them one by one, and finally found the one he was most satisfied with.

But to some surprise, Qu Xingye was also standing there. He walked up to Qu Xingye and asked in a low voice, "Why, are you interested in this deal?"

Qu Xingye nodded and sighed: "After comparing, only this one has the possibility to make a comeback for me. But I asked Gonda, and his price for this rough stone was 10 million. If it had been yesterday, I still managed to buy it after counter-offering, but today, alas... It seems that God doesn't want me to turn around. I originally wanted to try the one I bought yesterday, thinking that at least I wouldn't lose money on that one. I might even make a small profit. I didn’t expect that…”

When Shi Lei heard this price, he calculated the remaining independent funds in his hand, which was about 4.5 million.

"How much money does Mr. Qu still have?"

"About 4.6 million in total."

"Do you think Gonda will take action if I pay him nine million for this stone?"

"That's definitely possible. His price is only 10 million, so he should be able to get it at 9 million."

"Then go ask him." Shi Lei walked towards Gonda.

Qu Xingye didn't understand and said loudly: "But I don't have that much money... huh? Mr. Shi, are you planning to..."

Shi Lei turned around and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am also interested in this deal. Since you can help me share the burden, I am willing to share half of it with you."

Qu Xingye was a little hesitant. Shi Lei's performance yesterday made him very worried. This was the man who lost two high-priced rough stones in a row. If he partnered with him, would he be dragged down by his bad luck?

But looking around, Qu Xingye couldn't find a more suitable rough stone than this one. He stamped his feet and caught up with Shi Lei.

Shi Lei had already negotiated the price with Gonda, which was 8.8 million. He and Qu Xingye each paid 4.4 million to get the stone.

Qu Xingye hugged the stone with both hands and walked towards the master who cut the stone with great difficulty. In fact, there were people on site who could help him move the stone, but Qu Xingye refused to let go.

It shows his nervousness.
