Chapter 80: What’s the Conspiracy
Gu Qingchen bought another day of raw stones with great satisfaction. Of course, Gu Qingchen purposely bought some raw stones with no jades, so that she would not be treated like an immortal if every piece of raw stone she bought had jades.
The third day of the fair ended at noon, and the time for them to buy raw stones naturally ended at noon on the third day.
Because of the competition between Gu Qingchen and Shen Dongyang, many people knew about the high-stake bet between Jiang Zhong and Ding Hao. So, even after the fair ended, they were not in a hurry to leave. They all stayed behind, ready to see who would win this high-stake bet.
In response to Jiang Zhong and Ding Hao’s request, the stone cutters of the fair did not leave. Instead, they stayed here and waited for the stone to be processed.
Both parties had bought a lot of raw stones. If they wanted to compete, they would have to cut all the raw stones.!!
That would require a large number of stone-cutting staff.
Fortunately, because the location of the fair was the birthplace of raw stone business, there was no shortage of stone-cutting staff.
Hundreds of stone-cutting staff were on standby, and hundreds of grinding machines and cranes were ready. This scene was absolutely epic.
Both sides had the same treatment. Half of the stone-cutting machines and stone-cutting staff each spent the entire afternoon processing the stones. After that, they would evaluate the jades, and finally calculate whose raw stones were more valuable.
The grand scene, the grand bet, the huge number of raw stones, and the large crowd of spectators all demonstrated the grand occasion of this competition.
The vice president of the fair, as a witness and judge, gave the order to start. Then, the strong men began to move the raw stones stone platform.
In front of each of the stone cutter, there was a piece of raw stone that was ready to be processed at any time.
Everyone’s actions were basically the same. They cleaned their hands, wiped their hands, put on gloves, and prayed in their hearts.
Then, they all began to enter the state of examining the stones.
This simple scene had already moved the hearts of everyone, bringing with it an inexplicable sense of shock.
Cutting the stone was sacred and exciting, passionate and nervous.
Gu Yuanchuan had never seen such a big scene, he was already deeply shocked. Ding Hao was also a little distracted, only Gu Qingchen’s eyes were clear and bright.
As for the reason, perhaps it was because she had experienced life and death, so she knew how to control her emotions. She managed to remain calm most of the time.
Jiang Zhong stood there with many people behind him. All of them looked proud, just like Jiang Zhong. They seemed to believe that they would definitely win this time.
At the beginning of cutting the stone, it required a lot of times. This was because they had to test the stone. Only when they found the place to cut the stone would they be faster.
Therefore, Jiang Zhong was very relaxed at the beginning. He even brought his men to Gu Qingchen’s side. It was obvious that he was here to show off.
This man was really arrogant. He could not wait to show off before the results were out.
“Mr. Ding, I see that you are sweating. Are you worried that you would get out of City Y and the jade business after you lose?”
Jiang Zhong had been paying attention to Ding Hao’s movements, so he knew how much raw stones Ding Hao had bought in the past few days.
It could be said that the raw stones Ding Hao bought was less than one-tenth of his own.
Ding Hao’s eyes darkened and quickly swept away the nervousness from before. He was a person who knew how to quickly hide his emotions.
“Hehe, Boss Jiang, you must be joking. The results haven’t come out yet. If you want to get out of City Y, I’ll definitely send you off warmly.”
Looking at Ding Hao who had regained his fighting strength, Gu Qingchen’s eyes flashed with a trace of admiration.
No matter how nervous Ding Hao was in his heart, when facing an enemy, he definitely could not give in.
Jiang Zhong sneered and ignored Ding Hao.
He then turned to look at Gu Qingchen, his eyes became much gloomier.
He knew about the competition between Gu Qingchen and Shen Dongyang. Although he did not think that Gu Qingchen was really that powerful, he had sent people to keep an eye on Gu Qingchen for the past two days.
He did not expect Gu Qingchen to buy so many raw stones. She bought about the same amount as him.
It should be known that Gu Qingchen chose raw stones by herself. On the other hand, not only did Jiang Zhong brought a dozen people to help him, but he also even hired some local experts to buy raw stones at the last minute. That was how he managed to buy so many raw stones.
His years of experience made him a little more fearful of Gu Qingchen, so he did some tricks.
For example, he changed some of the decent-looking raw stones that Gu Qingchen had bought.
As for how to change it, Hehe, money could make the world go round. It was just changing the raw stone, and Gu Qingchen was just a little girl. He had spent enough money, so naturally he could do it.
Jiang Zhong sneered in his heart, but he didn’t know that Gu Qingchen was also sneering in her heart at this moment.
Hehe, did Jiang Zhong really think that she didn’t know what he was thinking?
A light flashed in Gu Qingchen’s eyes and quickly disappeared. She couldn’t wait to see the expression on Jiang Zhong’s face when he found out the result later.
“Ding Hao, I’ll let you have your fun for a while. You’ll suffer later,” Jiang Zhong said to Gu Qingchen, “Little girl, I heard that you won all the money from Shen Dongyang in a competition with him. You’re really good.”
Gu Qingchen smiled lightly and didn’t move her eyes. “Boss Jiang’s taste in choosing subordinates… is really not that good.”
Her tone was meaningful, making Jiang Zhong unsure of what Gu Qingchen meant.
Could it be… that Shen Dongyang really pretended to be taken his side, but in fact, Shen Dongyang was still conspiring with Ding Hao?
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhong’s face darkened a lot. He secretly made up his mind to teach Shen Dongyang a good lesson when he went back.
Those who dared to betray him would not have a good ending.
As time passed, more and more jades began to be extracted.
On Jiang Zhong’s side, three or four pieces of jade had already been extracted. The ones that were extracted were all half-be raw stones.
Therefore, the risk of half-bet raw stones was high, and the rate of return was also very high.
Ding Hao’s first round was all raw stones that he had selected. There were more than fifty pieces of them.
Looking at Jiang Zhong’s jade coming out one after another, Ding Hao was silent, but his heart was very nervous.
At this moment, the surrounding onlookers also started their activities.
Bet.
That’s right, they were betting which side would win.
Such a big competition and such a good opportunity, why not bet on who would win.
In this way, it would be as if they had also participated in this competition. It would be even more exciting.
Since there was a dealer, everyone began to place their bets. There were many people bet on both sides would win.
“Brother, who do you think has a higher chance of winning?”
“It’s really hard to say. From the looks of it, Jiang Zhong seems to have higher chance. Moreover, I know that he bought quite a lot of half-bet raw stones. Among them, some of the windows revealed old pit imperial green glass species. That’s why I think he has a higher chance of winning.”
“I don’t think so. Don’t forget, Ding Hao has that young lady over there! She found three good quality jades in a row. Each one is more valuable than the last one!”
