61: Chapter 61: Another Victory 61: Chapter 61: Another Victory More and more people gathered around, and a large stone was placed on the stone dissolution machine.
The jade stone cutting master seriously worked on it while Jalen Carter frequently directed where to cut from.
With another cut, the large stone had clearly lost its gamble.
Not to mention jade, there wasn’t any green color appearing within.
It was entirely a waste stone.
The onlookers sighed.
“It doesn’t make sense.
I’d examined this stone before, many people had seen it displayed, and the likelihood of it having green was high.
I didn’t expect this!”
A middle-aged man shook his head endlessly.
The boss who had bought Peter Brown’s stone obviously didn’t care that he’d just lost 110,000 dollars.
After watching for a while, he sighed, “Lucky for me, I was just thinking about buying this stone earlier.
Good thing I didn’t!”
Hearing everyone’s comments, Jalen glanced at Peter, only to find him standing there with an indifferent expression.
When he saw the pitiful gazes from the two beautiful women directed at himself, his anger surged further.
He pushed aside the remaining small piece of stone and pointed to another large one, “Cut this one!”
Quickly, the second stone was lifted up.
After several cuts, just when Jalen’s face started to look bad, suddenly, someone exclaimed, “It’s out!
Jalen leaped forward and saw the excitement in his eyes, “Quick, cut more.
The jade stone cutting master was indeed an experienced person.
He began to carefully rub and polish it in that area.
A piece of not-too-great but still decent jadeite was soon exposed.
“It’s worth at least 500,000 dollars.
At least he didn’t lose this time!”
This young man finally didn’t lose.
Although the quality is average, it can still sell for 500 or 600 thousand dollars.”
It can still be improved.
If done well, it’s worth over a million dollars.”
Hearing everyone’s discussion, Jalen’s face finally showed a smug expression.
Jalen instructed them to cut the last piece of stone.
As if his luck had turned around, the final stone they cut eventually reached the price of one million dollars.
Peter Brown, my two stones are now appraised at 2,800,000 dollars, and can be sold for three million dollars at least.
At this point, Jalen was quite confident in his victory.
This winning rate was already very high here, and Jalen felt reassured.
The spectators also shared this sentiment; achieving such a result wasn’t easy.
They looked at the stone in Peter’s cart, which had cost 500,000 dollars, and it seemed like an unremarkable piece.
Everyone was not very optimistic.
“Peter, wouldn’t you rather not gamble?” Sophia Gibson looked at Peter with concern.
“Peter Brown, not daring to gamble?” Jalen asked smugly after hearing Sophia’s words.
He was clearly pushing Peter to the extreme; at this point, Peter would lose face if he didn’t gamble.
Peter laughed and said to the jade stone cutting master, “Master, please help me with this.”
A few people lifted the stone onto the machine.
“Sir, how do you want to cut it?”
Peter smiled and said, “Simply, cut it right down the middle into two pieces.
I will draw a line and you cut.”
Seeing Peter draw a line, the master turned on the machine and made a cut.
The large stone was forcefully cut into two pieces.
Everyone gasped when they saw it; there was nothing after that cut.
A smile appeared at the corner of Jalen’s mouth, and he imagined in his heart what it would be like when Peter had to crawl out later.
“Master, please rub a little further into the cut.”
Hearing Peter’s words, the jade stone cutting master rubbed a bit further inside.
At that moment, someone shouted loudly, “It’s out!”
Indeed, when the water was poured on it, an incredibly dazzling green appeared in that area.
“Damn, is this Imperial Green?”
Someone had already screamed in astonishment.
“This water head is so good!”
Looking at the situation, Jalen’s face changed.
“One million dollars!” A boss instantly made an offer.
Maisy Spencer was also amazed by the stone.
“Master, follow this line and make another cut.” Peter was undisturbed, drawing another line.
As another cut was made, the master took the initiative to rub further inside, and everyone’s eyes brightened once again.
“Top Grade Glassy Species Jadeite!”
Everyone’s excitement was aroused.
“Young man, I’ll pay ten million dollars, I want it!”
Another middle-aged man immediately raised the price.
The boss who bought Peter’s stone earlier also made an offer this time.
Everyone scrambled to bid, and the price quickly reached fifty million dollars.
Peter smiled and said to the master, “This time, cut from this line.”
Peter drew another line.
As the cut was made, everyone’s eyes widened again.
The same green color appeared, that tempting shade of green still caught everyone’s eye.
“What a large piece!”
“I’ll pay one hundred million dollars!”
Someone directly pushed the price up.
At this moment, Jalen was feeling utterly miserable.
Hearing everyone’s bids, he knew he had lost.
“Young man, two hundred million, I want it.” An old man said loudly.
“210,000,000 dollars.” A foreigner also shouted a price.
“Peter, although it can still go up a bit, the price is already quite high.
I’ll pay 220,000,000 dollars.
Can you part with it?” Surprisingly, Jessica also made an offer.
Turning to the beautiful woman, Jessica said, “Our family has always wanted a piece to enhance our popularity; that’s the purpose of my visit here.”
Hearing Jessica’s explanation, Peter slightly nodded.
At this time, a foreigner shouted loudly, “250,000,000 dollars!”
Peter smiled at Jessica and said, “Okay, transfer two hundred million dollars to me, and this stone is yours.”
Everyone could clearly see that the stone was almost finished, and the price would rise, but they didn’t expect Peter to sell it now.
The foreigner said, “No, Sir, my offer is 250,000,000 dollars!”
Peter smiled and said, “I’m sorry, she’s my friend.”
Shrugging his shoulders, the foreigner looked at Peter with a puzzled expression.
At this time, Jessica’s eyes were shining, “Peter, that’s great!
I owe you a favor, but I will still pay you the highest price!”
After getting Peter’s bank card, Jessica transferred 250,000,000 dollars into his account.
Jessica knew in her heart that she had taken advantage of Peter.
As long as this jadeite item was handled well, it would be worth more than 300,000,000 dollars.
