It slowly moved from three centimeters to five centimeters.
A spot of crimson, like blood, appeared in the cutter's eyes.
Red!
The cutting technician's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Fortunately, he had a strong mental fortitude; although he was extremely shocked, his hands did not tremble.
He became even more cautious in his movements!
Seven centimeters...
Nine centimeters...
Slowly, the cut along the crack finally reached the bottom, and the whole piece of grayish rough stone was finally divided into two pieces, one large and one small.
"hiss"
"Red, it's red!!"
"This color is so dark, it's like congealed blood. What color level is that?"
"This is top-notch, absolutely top-notch..."
"Holy crap, this kid's hit the jackpot!!!"
Everyone craned their necks, and after the rough stone was cut, they were all shocked and gasped several times!
Countless envious, jealous, and hateful gazes instantly fell upon He Qinzhou.
Immediately, someone spoke up: "Young man, you only bought this stone for 50,000, I'll offer you 500,000, sell it to me?"
"Don't listen to him, I'll offer a million!"
"Hiss, a twenty-fold price difference?"
Everyone around was shocked when they heard the offer!
But what they couldn't understand even more was this young man.
Faced with such a large price difference, he decisively refused, saying, "I won't sell."
"Goodness, could this be a plant that Lao Xu arranged for me?"
Xu Bowen also looked completely incredulous.
Originally, I was just waiting to see others make a fool of themselves, but I never expected that they would find a top-quality red jadeite just by cutting one!
Moreover, if you resell it, someone will offer a million to buy it!
coincidence?
If you say there's nothing fishy going on, I'd never believe it even if you beat me to death!
"I'll investigate him."
The young man behind him was about to give the order with a cold face, but Xu Bowen stopped him as soon as he moved, saying, "Forget it, let's just watch the show."
"……it is good."
Staring at He Qinzhou's calm and composed back, Xu Bowen thought for a moment and then said, "Do you think it's possible that Lao Xu knew it was my daughter's birthday today and wanted to give me a gift but was too embarrassed to do so, so he arranged this whole thing and made me pay for it myself?"
The young man paused for a moment, then slowly nodded in agreement, saying, "That makes sense."
"Hey? He's leaving! Quick, follow him!"
Xu Bowen was still talking as if no one else was around when he suddenly noticed that He Qinzhou, who had just opened a red jade carcass, had no intention of selling it on the spot.
Instead, they arranged for the shop to pack their food, and then decisively prepared to leave...
Judging from his appearance, it seems like he came specifically for this stone!
This is terrible!
Xu Bowen immediately arranged for someone to follow them, and at the same time, he urged the cutting master to finish processing the stones he hadn't cut yet, and then he left as well.
Looking at the hall, which was now almost half empty, the person in charge felt his heart bleed.
"Did you see that rock clearly just now?"
"Its color grade is at least level eight or higher; it's truly top-quality!"
"Oh shit……"
The person in charge and the cutting master looked at each other, their hearts bleeding.
They originally wanted to discuss the buyback with He Qinzhou, but the other party simply had his own people pack up and leave...
Their purposefulness is so strong that it cannot be ignored!
the other side.
As He Qinzhou stepped out of the Imperial Jade Shop carrying a gift bag, he immediately sensed that someone was following him.
A slight smile appeared on his lips. After looking around for a moment, he walked straight towards a teahouse not far away.
We sat down at a window seat on the top floor of the teahouse.
Before long, Ye Bowen appeared...
He Qinzhou kept his gaze fixed on the bustling street outside the window, but secretly chuckled to himself.
My father-in-law is far too impatient.
"Young man, you are... um? A nephew from Qinzhou?"
Xu Bowen walked to the top floor with what he thought was a friendly smile. As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he saw He Qinzhou.
He froze, speechless.
He Qinzhou suppressed a laugh, glanced at him sideways, and didn't really pay him any attention.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Xu Bowen could only awkwardly laugh and say, "Nephew from Qinzhou, it's been a long time."
"Are you waiting for someone?"
"The weather is so nice today, the sun is shining brightly..."
"I know the owner of this teahouse very well. What kind of tea would you like? I'll have him bring it up!"
"You probably haven't eaten yet, have you? How about we have lunch together?"
Xu Bowen racked his brains to find topics to talk about, seemingly without any airs.
But that doesn’t mean everyone else is as kind and approachable as him.
At least, the young man who had been standing behind him couldn't stand it anymore.
His own father was a true hero, yet he was ignored by a young man in a teahouse...
How can I bear this?
"Hey, my family member is talking to you, can't you hear me?"
He Qinzhou turned his head and glanced at him, his expression indifferent.
"Hahahaha... Sorry, he's still young, Qinzhou, don't take it to heart."
Xu Bowen laughed and smoothed things over.
But no matter how you looked at it, He Qinzhou felt that he was being subtly mocked.
Feeling he'd said enough, he decided not to put on airs any longer and casually said, "Uncle Xu, what's on your mind? Just say it."
"Great, Qinzhou is indeed straightforward!"
Xu Bowen exclaimed in admiration and said directly, "I want to buy that rough stone you have."
He subconsciously assumed that He Qinzhou was a shill arranged by the jade shop owner, whose purpose was to sell the rough stone to him at half price and give it away as a gift.
This way, it won't arouse suspicion from others; it's quite ingenious!
However, he forgot the most important point: He Qinzhou's identity meant he didn't need to be someone else's shill!
"Not for sale."
He Qinzhou glanced at him, frowned, and said, "I already said in the hall that I'm not selling. What's the meaning of Uncle Xu coming here so persistently?"
"Make a price."
"Not for sale."
"How about 100 million?"
Xu Bowen held up one finger.
Chapter 273: You won't even spare me.
Despite Xu Bowen's offer, He Qinzhou remained unmoved.
"I was planning to give this red jade as a gift to a friend. I really won't sell it. Uncle Xu, you should give up."
He Qinzhou continued to refuse.
"For a gift for a friend, they lost 100 million yuan. Qinzhou, this deal isn't worth it..."
"Besides, our two families are already engaged, and you'd rather give it to a friend than give it to me."
Xu Bowen spoke in a deep voice, his face full of sighs.
Put yourself in his shoes; if he owned that rough stone, he'd sell it for ten million, let alone a hundred million…
Would you be a fool not to make money when you can?
At this moment, Xu Bowen gradually realized that He Qinzhou was probably not a shill arranged by Lao Xu, the owner of the jade shop.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that he was really lucky to be the future son-in-law!
"It's a good deal, but that friend is more important than the money."
He Qinzhou chuckled and said calmly.
Ok?
Is there anyone in this world who values friendship more than money?
Xu Bowen's eyes were full of admiration.
In the past, when it came to the marriage between the He and Xu families, he simply considered them to be of equal size, and thought it wouldn't be too much of a loss for his daughter.
But after a brief encounter with He Qinzhou, he discovered that this young man valued relationships over profit, had a good eye for jade and was skilled at gambling on stones, spoke with composure, and although arrogant, his arrogance was not off-putting. Most importantly, he was quite good-looking...
Seeing him, Xu Bowen felt as if he were seeing his younger self.
"I'll make one last offer, five hundred million. Are you really not going to sell?"
Xu Bowen stretched out his palm; he still wanted to make one last effort.
He loves stones dearly and has no resistance to them.
Now that he has seen a top-quality red jade slip away right in front of him, how could he possibly be willing to accept it?
Moreover, tonight is his daughter's birthday, and this exquisite red jade is worthy of his precious darling.
"Uncle Xu, there's no need to say anything more. I wouldn't sell it even for ten billion."
"Good lad, very good, very good!!!"
Xu Bowen stood up with a smile. Although he was unwilling to be rejected, as the war zone god of the northern border of the Dragon Kingdom, he would naturally not do such a despicable thing as forcibly taking it.
"Fine, since you insist, then I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Your expenses here today are on me."
Xu Bowen left after saying those words, turning around and walking away without looking back.
He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would become sad.
Instead of wasting time pleading and cajoling, you might as well go back to the jade shop and try your luck again...
At worst, we'll just buy all the raw stones inside this time!
Watching Xu Bowen's desolate departing figure, He Qinzhou smiled.
He was really looking forward to seeing Xu Bowen's expression tonight when he saw the red jade he had been longing for appear in his daughter's hands.
Just then, his cell phone rang again.
He Qinzhou picked it up and looked at it, then raised an eyebrow in surprise.
