Chapter 73: The Competition Doesn’t Count!
“What? High-grade ice jade!”
“Old Liu, are you seeing things? Come and let me have a look.”
“Awesome. This is too exciting. High-grade ice jade. If there are no flaws, it would be worth a lot of money.”
“This is really interesting. It’s getting more and more interesting! I don’t know who will win between the two of them.”
“Who knows, the high-grade bright sun green ice jade hasn’t been extracted yet. Who knows how big it is inside? If it’s just a small piece, it’s not worth much. So, we’ll have to wait for Old Liu to extract it before we know the result.”!!
Before the person involved said anything, the people around started to discuss. The discussion was very lively.
Shen Dongyang was a little unsteady. Fortunately, the two followers behind Shen Dongyang held him up, so Shen Dongyang didn’t make a fool of himself.
“Brother Dong, don’t be anxious. Look at her raw stone. It probably has flaws. This kind of situation happens many times. When the time comes, she’ll be happy for nothing.”
“That’s right, Brother Dong. Your green ice jade is very big. There’s no need to be afraid of her.”
Hearing the words of these two people, Shen Dongyang calmed down slightly. However, his eyes were fixed on the raw stone in Old Liu’s hand, and he did not dare to blink.
Old Liu was also very excited after seeing the jade. His movement was getting more and more delicate, but his speed did not seem to slow down.
In a short while, a round piece of jade was taking out. It was the size of two men’s fists.
The entire piece of jade was crystal clear and had a really good transparency. The bright green color was very pleasing to the eye.
When Old Liu handed the entire piece of jade to Gu Qingchen, Gu Qingchen only felt the warm touch in her hand. It was very strong and had a natural texture. The domineering bright green shone brightly and was full of spiritual energy. Gu Qingchen even felt that no modifier words could show the elegance of this jade.
“Miss, are you selling this jade? I’m willing to pay one million!”
The first person who called out the price was actually the man who wanted to buy Shen Dongyang’s jade just now. Once this man called out the price, the winner and loser were immediately be determined.
He gave Shen Dongyang 500,000 dollars, while the jade given to Gu Qingchen for 1,000,000 dollars doubled the price.
“I’ll bid 1,100,000 dollars. Miss, please sell your jade to me.”
Another person called out the price.
Only one man had bid for Shen Dongyang’s jade just now, and there were already people competing for Gu Qingchen’s jade.
One after another, there were actually people who joined in, but when the price was raised to 1,300,000 dollars, no one raised the price anymore.
Although Gu Qingchen’s jade was not bad, it was not an old pit glass jade. When they bought it back, they had to process it and sell it to earn money. If the price was higher, they would earn less.
There was no other way. Most of the people who came today were jade traders. There was less normal customer.
Normal customers would give a higher price.
Gu Qingchen politely rejected these people and said, “Everyone, you all know that I’m competing with someone. Why don’t you make an offer after the competition?”
Gu Qingchen’s words were exactly the same as Shen Dongyang’s. However, at this moment, the situation had turned around. No one had expected it.
And Shen Dongyang seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell. He was a little dizzy and could not believe this result.
He… lost all his assets!
Lost…
Lost everything!
For a moment, these two words appeared repeatedly in Shen Dongyang’s mind. His ears buzzed and he did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Gu Qingchen smiled faintly. She held the high-grade bright sun green ice jade in her hand. She stood there, forming a sharp contrast with Shen Dongyang.
Both of them had jade in their hands, but everyone knew who was good and who was bad.
Therefore, the results of the competition were out.
“Sorry, I couldn’t make you laugh longer.”
Gu Qingchen spoke softly. Her voice was clear, but to Shen Dongyang’s ears, it was like a demonic tune.
No way!
He couldn’t lose everything just like that!
No way!
He had been in this industry for more than ten years, and he lost to a rookie?
It was impossible. He did not believe it, and he did not want to believe it.
Wait!
Oh right, he had an idea.
“This doesn’t count!”
Shen Dongyang suddenly said something. Gu Qingchen was not surprised. She looked at Shen Dongyang with a smile, as if she had been waiting for him.
The people around could not stay calm anymore. Some people started to speak up for Gu Qingchen.
“What’s wrong with you, man? You were already taking advantage of a young lady when you were competing with her. Now that the results of the competition are out, but you say that it doesn’t count. What is wrong with you!”
“Ya, how could you decide who win and who lose? Haha, a man like you are really embarrassing.”
“If you can’t afford the pay the price, then don’t bet. The most prohibited thing in this business is breaking promise like you just did. What the hell!”
All of them were filled with righteous indignation and humiliated Shen Dongyang. However, he still insisted on quibbling.
“Her raw stone was clearly chosen by me. Even if it was a high-grade ice jade, it was because I had good appraising skill. Among the three raw stones that she chose, I chose one that had good jade.”
“Originally, we were only competing for one raw stone, but she broke the rules and brought three raw stones. In the end, I chose one for the competition, so it doesn’t count. She had to choose one stone herself to participate in the competition.”
Even Old Liu, who was cutting the raw stone, could not stand it when he heard this.
“You are really shameless. If this girl’s raw stones did not have jade, would you still say that this competition doesn’t count?”
He was obviously trying to quibble!
In order to protect his wealth, Shen Dongyang had no choice but to be shameless to the end.
“What does it have to do with you? I’m not gambling with you.”
There were people around helping Gu Qingchen again, “Don’t think that we can’t understand what you’re thinking. You were the one who chose the stone for her. You didn’t choose that piece with the good-looking surface but chose this piece instead. What are you thinking? Do you really think that we’re all blind and can’t see through it?”
As soon as these words were said, everyone nodded in agreement. They had all seen through it.
“I don’t care. She has to choose another one to compete with me.”
Shen Dongyang was determined to persist in acting shamelessly until the end.
In the crowd, there were already some people who were impulsive. They wanted to go up and beat Shen Dongyang up. This person was too ruthless to bully the young lady. It would be a waste of their fists if they didn’t beat him up.
Gu Qingchen, who had been silent all this while and watched everything calmly, spoke slowly. “Okay, I will make you admit defeat. Old Liu, please cut the remaining two raw stones of mine. If one of them is not as good as your jade, or if there is no jade at all, then I will lose. How about it?”
There were some people who wouldn’t shed tears until they saw the coffin. Today, she would make Shen Dongyang completely disheartened.
