Ye Qing took the steel plate from Li Xinyue's hand, walked to the stone, took a deep breath, and then inserted the steel plate into the gap in the stone.
At this time, the whole place was silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
Before Ye Qing came to Kuncheng, although there were a lot of gamblers in the old tavern's stone gambling room, they were actually here to give gifts to Deputy Governor Li. They spent 1.8 million to buy a stone, regardless of whether they won or lost.
Deputy Governor Le may not be able to remember who bought stones at the old tavern’s Stone Gambling Room, but he must know who did not gamble for stones at the old tavern’s Stone Gambling Room.
But ever since Ye Qing gambled away a piece of imperial green and a piece of royal purple from the stone gambling room of the old tavern, the stone gambling room of the old tavern has become a holy place in the hearts of stone gamblers, and even big businessmen who buy jadeite have gathered here.
No one knows whether gambling in Stone Square makes money, but the old tavern definitely makes money.
There are hundreds of customers waiting for tables every day.
And these stone gamblers and jade merchants are all wealthy owners who are not short of money...
Ye Qing bets on stones, and all the stone bettors hope that he will bet on another piece of jade that will amaze the world.
The sound of "click" was very small, but everyone stretched their necks out involuntarily...
The stone was divided, one side was covered with water foam, and the other side was completely blue and purple.
Violet jade can be divided into five types according to color and saturation. The first type is royal purple, which is a rich and pure purple with a very pure tone and high saturation, giving it a unique sense of wealth and grace.
The second type, red purple, is a purple with a reddish tone, medium color and saturation, and is also a relatively rare purple jade. The third type, blue-violet, is a kind of purple that is more bluish, has greater saturation, and is a relatively common type.
The fourth type, violet, is the most common and the standard color of violet jade. The fifth type, pink purple, is a lighter purple with lower saturation. It usually appears in jadeite with good water head and fine texture.
The piece of blue and purple that Ye Qing cut out could only be regarded as good, but I couldn't bear the price of 12 million.
There was a trace of disappointment in Li Xinyue's eyes. Ye Qing could help the old tavern's Stone Gambling House gain a lot of popularity as long as he gambled on a stone with a sky-high price.
Mei Chuqi didn't care. She had never expected to win the sky-high price of jade. Moreover, Ye Qing bet on her favorite blue and purple.
This color is not as noble as royal purple, nor as ambiguous as pink purple, but it reveals a kind of ice-cold purity, arrogance and isolation, compelling aura, calmness and restraint.
Zhou Qing picked up the flashlight and pressed it gently on the cut surface, as if a blue-purple light bulb was lit, and said in a voiceless voice: "Strange pile..."
"This is a strange pile!" Li Xinyue lost her temper when she heard this. She took a step forward, squatted side by side with Zhou Qing, and turned on the lamp to look at the jadeite.
"What is a strange pile!" Mei Chuqi tugged on Ye Qing's sleeve and asked with a smile.
"Generally speaking, violet jadeite has thicker water." Ye Qing explained with a smile: "So, it is difficult to get high-quality water. The best among them is royal purple, followed by red and purple, and blue and purple. It is difficult to find jadeite above ice type.
But gems like jade are difficult for even gods to fathom. For example, although this piece is blue and purple, the water inside it is glass-like. This kind of stone is called a strange pile. "
Mei Chuqi asked cautiously: "Did we win the bet?"
Ye Qing nodded affirmatively: "This stone is estimated to be able to produce three to four kilograms of blue and purple glass. If there are no big strands of cracked cotton inside, the price has already exceeded twelve million!"
"Ye Qing, come here and take a look!" Li Xinyue stood up and waved to Ye Qing through the crowd...
"What's wrong!" Ye Qing walked over quickly and squatted between the two girls, looking at the blue-purple cross-section illuminated by a strong flashlight, as if under the blue field light, pieces of flexible and dancing snowflakes were falling... ..
"This piece of jade, even if it is not made into jewelry, is still a work of art." Zhou Qing did not hide her greed: "Make a price, I will take it back and collect it."
Ye Qing chuckled: "Although Li Xinyue and I both have shares, the main reason for betting on this stone is to repay my benefactor!"
Zhou Qing stood up and looked at Mei Chuqi: "Fifty million..."
Ye Qing took a step back, turned around and walked out of the crowd. Fifty million was not too much for him, but it was a huge sum of money for Li Xinyue and Mei Chuqi.
He leaned against a shelf and was about to light a cigarette when he saw the lobby manager hurried over.
"Master, please take a step to speak!"
"what's up!"
"Someone said he knew the whereabouts of Ma Liu." The lobby manager lowered his voice: "Come to see me to receive the reward..."
"Who is Ma Liu?"
"He said he was Zhang Qi's biological brother, but he didn't know it was Zhang Qi..."
Before the lobby manager finished speaking, Ye Qing's expression changed: "Where is this person?"
The lobby manager whispered: "I didn't think he was a good person, so I didn't dare to let him in by himself. Instead, I took him to the security room."
"Take me there!"
Ye Qing walked into the security room and saw a stocky man with a fleshy face, pacing back and forth anxiously under the supervision of several security guards.
The lobby manager waved his hand, and several security guards quickly exited the security room.
Ye Qing popped out a cigarette and handed it over: "What's your name, and how do you know the whereabouts of Ma Liu!"
Madman Ma asked tentatively: "You are Ye Qing, the younger brother of General Ye Liang, the chief of the armed police force."
Ye Qing suddenly laughed: "I am Ye Qing, the younger brother of Ye Liang's mother. It seems that you really know the whereabouts of Ma Liu."
Madman Ma took the cigarette, lit it with the help of fire, and took a deep puff: "I know!"
Ye Qing also lit one and blew out a puff of smoke: "You can send Ma Liu to Lin Dong, or to the armed officer station..."
Madman Ma sighed: "Lin Dong offered a reward of one million, but after I betrayed Ma Liu, it would be difficult for me to survive in Yun Province. I could only fly away. One million is a lot, but leaving my hometown and settling down in a foreign land is far from enough... ..."
Ye Qing was surprised: "How can you say this? You still have to fly far away."
Madman Ma smiled bitterly: "Master, please stop teasing me. Zhang Qi is very powerful. Even if he retires from the armed police force, he is not something a little person like me can afford to offend."
Ye Qing said cheerfully: "Damn it, Ma Liu, how much do you want!"
Madman Ma tried his best: "Three million!"
"make a deal!"
Madman Ma was stunned: "You won't counteroffer!"
Ye Qing chuckled and said: "You don't understand the world of rich people. When will you bring Ma Liu here? Hand over people with one hand and pay with the other."
Madman Ma smiled bitterly: "Master, Lin Dong is looking for Ma Liu like crazy. I don't dare to bring people to the old tavern."
"You name a place." Ye Qing smiled and said, "I'll go there with the money."
"Okay!" Crazy Ma nodded: "Give me your phone number. When I make arrangements, I will call you."
"Do you want cash or transfer?" Ye Qing smiled and said, "Do you know the whereabouts of Zhang Qi? If you know, tell me together and I will give you two million more."
