Chapter 904
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Mr. Yu, don't you really believe what the old man said? I don't know anything about gambling stones! How can I give you any advice?"
Yu Mingdong didn't think so. His move seemed absurd, but in fact, it didn't seem strange to the jade merchants who were watching.
In their line of business, they actually believe that luck itself depends on a bit of luck. How can anyone win every bet? In their opinion, today Xia Ruofei is obviously lucky, even if Xia Ruofei doesn't understand gambling at all, maybe he is right to give random pointers?
It's as if some lottery fans would call someone who doesn't buy lottery tickets at all, just busy picking a bet.
Yu Mingdong said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, you are lucky today, so you can give pointers casually!"
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "Where can I give pointers? This will cut the precious jade inside you in half..."
"That's all mine! Never blame you!" Yu Mingdong said, patting his chest.
"Little brother, please help Lao Yu!"
"Yeah! You have good luck today, how can you bet how to have it!"
"We're still waiting to see this material soar! Don't hesitate!"
The jade merchants onlookers also spoke out to persuade them.
Xia Ruofei looked at Yu Mingdong and felt that he didn't seem to be joking, so he had no choice but to say: "Then I'm really messing around, don't blame me if something goes wrong..."
"No blame, no blame! Absolutely not..." Yu Mingdong said quickly.
Xia Ruofei nodded and walked to the rough stone. Yu Mingdong and the jade merchants onlookers held their breath and looked at Xia Ruofei intently.
In fact, Xia Ruofei knew that Yu Mingdong had lost the purchase of this rough stone. At that time, when Xia Ruofei investigated this rough stone, the response of the spirit picture scroll was far less than his No. 1860, and the price taken by Yu Mingdong was indeed three times that of Xia Ruofei's material. .
The reason why Xia Ruofei ran over again tonight was because he wanted to help Yu Mingdong reduce his losses as much as possible.
So, when he came to the rough stone, he began to grope on the rough stone in a serious manner.
This rough stone is bigger than the one that Xia Ruofei had just opened, and a window was opened in one of them.
It is precisely because after the "skylight" is opened, the thin layer of stone skin is the jade meat, and the quality can at least reach the ice species, so the price of this rough stone is called so high.
Generally, those who often gamble on stones must focus on the open window when identifying this kind of material, because this kind of green window allows them to observe as much as possible through a strong flashlight. Inside the rough.
However, Xia Ruofei was different. He just kept groping on the surface of the material, and felt almost every position of the material.
In fact, Xia Ruofei is not pretending that this rough stone is particularly large, and the response intensity of the spiritual picture scroll in different positions is actually different. This difference is very subtle, but it is enough for Xia Ruofei to roughly infer the inner jade essence. approximate location.
And with such a judgment, it is enough for Xia Ruofei.
After a long while, he straightened up, scratched on a raised spot on the rough stone, and said, "Mr. Yu, why don't you cut off this corner and rub it in!"
Xia Ruofei's words made the jade merchants stunned for a while. Under normal circumstances, this kind of semi-bright material will start from the open window, which is basically common sense.
And the position that Xia Ruofei was referring to happened to be the position on the back of the window, which can be said to be completely different.
Yu Mingdong was also stunned, but he quickly recovered and said, "Okay! Just follow Mr. Xia's advice!"
The jade merchants were suddenly talking about it.
"Hey! Lao Yu is going out of his way!"
"Who made that little brother have good luck today!"
"If you want me, I'll take a gamble too..."
...
Master Xie Shi received Yu Mingdong's instructions, and without saying much, he instructed the forklift to place the rough stone in place, fine-tune the position and fix it, and then turned on the power of the cutting machine.
In the sharp friction sound, the stone chips flew.
Soon the small raised horn was cut off, and the cut surface was white, without a hint of green.
Everyone couldn't help but talk in a low voice.
However, Yu Mingdong didn't hesitate, and said, "Start rubbing stones from here!"
Since he chose to believe in that illusory luck, Yu Mingdong also opened the bow and did not turn back the arrow.
The calcite master picked up the hand grinder, replaced the new grinding wheel, and turned on the power to start grinding from this new cut.
Everyone was watching intently, and their thoughts were different.
After a while, Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows suddenly, but he didn't make a sound, because the experienced calcite master also raised his hand and turned off the power of the grinder at the same time.
"Why stop!"
"Is it green again?"
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Master Xie Shi wiped the polished part with a damp cloth. After looking at it carefully, he turned around and said with a smile: "Congratulations, boss! It's already green..."
As if a stone stirred up a thousand waves, these jade merchants who were watching the excitement suddenly became excited.
Yu Mingdong had a happy expression on his face, and quickly stepped forward to examine it carefully, his body trembling with joy.
He said: "Mr. Xia is indeed a lucky star! The quality of the jade meat in this position is better. If there is no accident, it should reach the glass type!"
The jade merchants couldn't help but gather around.
The window is there, and most of the big guys are doing this, so it can be said at a glance.
Now, everyone is even more envious of Yu Mingdong.
Not to mention the rare top-quality Violet Floating Flower Jadeite, the rough stone he bought at a huge price also seems to have risen sharply.
Opened two windows one after the other, and both saw green.
In this case, it is very likely that the jadeite hidden inside is connected into pieces, and the amount is very large. In addition, the quality of jadeite is very good at present. If you look at it this way, more than 20 million is too cheap!
Although they clearly knew that Yu Mingdong was also a peer, those jade merchants couldn't help but set a price and wanted to buy this material.
"Lao Yu, you have harvested enough today, so please transfer this material to me! I won't let you suffer, how about 30 million?"
"Mr. Yu, I will pay 32 million!"
"Thirty-four million!"
Yu Mingdong waved his hand proudly and said, "Everyone, my own factory is still waiting for the rice to cook! This material is not for sale!"
Xia Ruofei opened his mouth, but he saw that Yu Mingdong had asked Master Xie Shi to continue rubbing the stone, so he closed his mouth again.
The calcite master still rubs a little bit at the incision where the jade was just made. After all, there may be a lot of jade under the thin stone skin, so the experienced calcite master did not need Yu Mingdong's instructions, so he chose this kind of prudence after all. way of doing.
Everyone even held their breath and stared at the piece of material without blinking.
With the operation of the calcite master, the stone skin at the incision was a little bit worn away, and more and more jade flesh was exposed.
If it was just a small opening to see the green, then now these emerald green jade has gradually become a face.
Now those jade merchants are even more restless, because looking at this situation, they are really rushing for a large piece of intact jade.
The calcite master turned off the power of the grinder. For this kind of uninterrupted grinding, the wear of the grinding wheel is very fast, and he needs to replace the grinding wheel.
At this time, those jade merchants also took the opportunity to get closer to watch, and their mouths kept making envious and envious tsk-tsk sounds.
Xia Ruofei had come to Yu Mingdong's side intentionally or unintentionally just now. Now that the attention of those jade merchants was all on that piece of material, he immediately touched Yu Mingdong gently.
Yu Mingdong, who was full of joy, turned his head, and before he could speak, Xia Ruofei lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Yu, if the price is right... let's just sell this material!"
Yu Mingdong was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Mr. Xia, is there any problem with this material?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "How do you ask me to answer this question? I don't understand gambling at all!"
Only then did Yu Mingdong come back to his senses. Just now, a high-quality jade was miraculously opened on the back of the window. He almost forgot Xia Ruofei's rookie status, and the words he asked for advice just now blurted out.
After regaining his senses, Yu Mingdong was about to express to Xia Ruofei that he didn't want to sell half-bright wool, and Xia Ruofei added: "Mr. Yu, although I am a layman, I don't feel so good about this material, pure intuition. Ah! Without any basis..."
Xia Ruofei's words made Yu Mingdong agitated, because he felt that Xia Ruofei's luck was amazing today. Based on his experience, his intuition in this situation would often be very accurate.
This is the first time that Yu Mingdong has been shaken. He originally wanted to open it up and ship it back to his factory for use.
Xia Ruofei's words made Yu Mingdong's thoughts no longer firm.
Of course, there is also a more important reason, that is, Yu Mingdong's company does not have much working capital.
He spent 50 million in cash to buy materials from Xia Ruofei, and he also spent 30 to 40 million to buy materials himself. These are almost all the working capital of his company.
In this case, once it encounters troubles such as a decline in jade prices or slow sales, the company is likely to have a cash flow problem.
And if this semi-clear material is exchanged for money, the funding problem will be greatly alleviated.
In addition, his previous pieces of wool have produced good quality jade, and at the same time he purchased two pieces of jade from Xia Ruofei. It can be said that his factory is not short of raw materials for the time being, and this piece of wool can be sold completely. Lose.
Once this idea emerged, Yu Mingdong felt more and more that he should trust Xia Ruofei's intuition.
Finally, when Master Xie Shi changed the grinding wheel and was about to continue grinding, Yu Mingdong waved his hand to stop him.
Then Yu Mingdong pondered for a moment, then said aloud: "Everyone, I thought about it just now, the raw materials in my factory are relatively sufficient for the time being, and it is not impossible to sell this material..."
As soon as Yu Mingdong said this, the minds of the jade merchants became alive again.
"Old Yu, it should have been this way!"
"Yeah! If you eat meat, let's make some soup, right?"
"That's right! It's useless for you to hoard so many jade materials, and you have also squeezed a lot of money!"
Yu Mingdong smiled and then said: "But... it's already opened to this level, and the price..."
"The price is naturally not what it used to be!"
"Everyone knows the rules!"
"Mr. Yu, don't say anything, 42 million! I want this material!"
"Forty-three million!"
"Forty-five million!"
No need for Yu Mingdong to say more, these experienced jade merchants took the initiative to start bidding.
Yu Mingdong still looked at the piece of material with some reluctance, but his peers have started bidding, and he will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism if he changes his words.
If this piece of material is opened according to everyone's predictions, it will be worth at least 60 to 70 million yuan, but Yu Mingdong is a little superstitious about Xia Ruofei's luck today. Since Xia Ruofei doesn't feel good, he will no longer be entangled.
Fatty Luo couldn't help but join the competition. For businessmen, what's the face? Everything is profit first.
"Forty-eight million!" Fatty Luo added three million in one go, as if he was determined to win.
"Lao Luo, don't fight with us for such a big boss!" Someone said angrily.
Fatty Luo said with a smile: "Fair competition! Everyone present is much richer than me, so don't flatter me!"
"Hmph, that's 49 million!" The person who spoke just now couldn't help but add one million.
Fatty Luo wasn't very lucky today. He didn't get several pieces of promising material. His demand for jadeite raw materials was also very high, so he was very envious of this material.
"49.5 million!" Fatty Luo shouted through gritted teeth.
"I'll round it up, 50 million!" Someone shouted, "Mr. Yu, and fellow colleagues, don't forget that this is still a half-baked material, and the price is about the same... Everyone just raise your hands, our factory Also waiting for the rice to cook!"
Fatty Luo said, "Mr. Xue, everyone is short of good raw materials these days! 51 million! I'll be a friend with President Yu!"
This price is already very high. After all, there are still risks in semi-clear materials. Once the bet is broken, the value may shrink rapidly.
The jade merchants all began to hesitate, because they also saw that Fatty Luo was very determined. If he continued to raise the price, he might not be able to buy this material. Instead, it was plainly cheaper for Yu Mingdong, and incidentally, he also befriended Fatty Luo.
So, the bidding momentum suddenly stopped.
However, some people did not give up and continued to add tens of thousands of dollars, but Fatty Luo recognized this material, and he finally won it at a price of 53 million.
"Lao Yu!" Fatty Luo said happily, rubbing his hands together, "I'll transfer money to you now! Thank you for cutting your love!"
Yu Mingdong nodded slightly and said, "Just help each other! I also have to thank Mr. Luo for taking care of my business!"
Everyone carried the flower sedan chair and made a business, and the little unhappiness before seemed to have vanished.
Fatty Luo approached the staff of the organizer of the public auction, and signed a transfer agreement under their notarization. After all, he and Yu Mingdong had no personal relationship and could not trust each other like Xia Ruofei and Yu Mingdong, so he was more cautious.
Then Fatty Luo readily transferred 53 million Huaxia coins to Yu Mingdong's account and successfully completed the transaction.
Xia Ruofei watched coldly from the sidelines. He saw Fatty Luo "defeating the heroes" with his own eyes, and finally won this rough stone that he thought was a hot potato.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This really confirms that it's not that enemies don't get together!
