As soon as they heard that the two were going to bet on stones, the people watching suddenly became excited and whistled one after another.
"Master Qi is going to bet on stones. Now there is something good to watch."
"Haha, I didn't expect that there would be such an exciting program before the Stone Appreciation Conference even started. Today is really a worthwhile trip."
"That idiot actually dares to bet with Master Qi on stones. I'm afraid he's out of his mind."
The person in charge of Bai Yuxuan was also very happy when he saw this: it would be great to have such a program before the start of the stone appreciation conference.
He immediately asked people to clear the place and make a place for the two of them.
Qi Longtai enjoyed the admiring looks of the people around him and said to Zhang Dachuan proudly:
"Looking at how you are dressed, it doesn't look like your family is rich. Let's do this. I won't bully you. Each of us will buy a rough stone worth less than 100,000 yuan, and then we will see who gets the stone more valuable. How about winning, plain and simple?”
Zhang Dachuan spread his hands indifferently:
"Whatever, I promise to stay with you until the end."
Qi Longtai sneered, turned around and started picking stones.
He seems to have some unique secret for looking at stones. He always touches the stone in the photo first, then tries to knock it and listens to the sound. If it meets the standards, he will pick off a small piece of the stone and put it into his mouth. He held it in his mouth, as if he was feeling something.
In the end, Qi Longtai chose a brown rough stone with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters and looked like a Buddha's hand.
People around looked at Qi Longtai's professional appearance and couldn't help but talk about it:
"Master Qi looks very confident this time. The appearance of the rough stone is extraordinary."
"Nonsense, Master Qi is not just a cat or a dog. His success rate in choosing stones is over 90%, which means that only one time out of ten times is a blank. For ordinary people, 10% is pretty good!"
Qi Longtai chose the stone, and then raised his chin arrogantly towards Zhang Dachuan, indicating that he could choose.
Zhang Dachuan didn't hesitate and walked directly among the stones, heading straight for the granite-looking stone he saw when he went upstairs.
This stone is 33 centimeters in diameter and weighs 70 kilograms. It is the largest and heaviest stone priced at 100,000 yuan.
Everyone was speechless when they saw that he had chosen such a stone.
"Damn, you're really a rookie."
"Damn, that stone looks like a piece of granite at first glance. From the forming environment to the forming conditions, this kind of stone is not even close to the formation of jadeite. Will he bet on the stone?"
Qi Longtai couldn't help laughing and said:
"Idiot, gambling stones are not about size and weight. You don't think that if you choose the biggest and heaviest one, you will definitely get the goods. Be careful, there is nothing inside."
Zhang Dachuan glanced sideways at Qi Longtai and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, or you'll be slapped hard in the face by me later."
Qi Longtai laughed in anger. This man actually said that he didn't know how to gamble on stones. He was extremely arrogant.
He waved his hand to the person in charge of Bai Yuxuan to examine the stone, and said to Zhang Dachuan fiercely:
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to slap me in the face!"
The person in charge of Bai Yuxuan called the cutter, and in front of everyone, he cut the Buddha's hand stone selected by Qi Longtai bit by bit.
With a "squeaking" sound, the stone was split into two.
When the smoke and dust dissipated and the cold water washed away, a little crystal emerald color was revealed in the middle of the brown bergamot stone.
The knowledgeable people in the crowd immediately exclaimed:
"Ice type! It's ice type!"
"Damn it, Master Qi is really powerful, he actually created an ice seed."
Bai Yuxuan's appraiser quickly stepped forward and after an appraisal, announced in public:
"Ice species, 5.5 centimeters in diameter, estimated at 500,000 yuan."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of admiration at the scene.
"Master Qi is amazing. The original price of a rough Buddha's hand stone was less than 80,000 yuan, but in the blink of an eye it became 500,000 yuan, which is nearly seven times more."
"Although the color is not too pure and a bit small, it is already amazing. I wouldn't have the vision at all."
Among jadeite, glass is the best, followed by ice, then waxy and bean.
Among them, the glass type is rare, and some people may not be able to see it in their lifetime. The ice type is relatively easy to find, but it is also extremely rare.
Qi Longtai opened a piece of ice as soon as he took action, which was indeed shocking enough.
Qi Longtai was also proud of his luck. Although he was sure that this stone was in stock, he actually didn't know what type it was. Now that the ice type was suddenly revealed, the victory was basically sealed.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Dachuan even more proudly and said with a smile:
"Boy, I opened the ice seed, do you think you can still win?"
"Don't be stunned, let's cut it open."
Bai Yuxuan's people came forward and wanted to help Zhang Dachuan cut the stones. Zhang Dachuan shook his head and refused:
"This stone is very valuable, I want to cut it myself."
The staff member was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded, but everyone could see the disdain flashing in his eyes.
It's obviously just a piece of granite, but it pretends to be very serious. It's simply ridiculous.
Qi Longtai crossed his arms and smiled, watching Zhang Dachuan carrying the stones and placing them on the cutting table, and joked:
"Are you so serious? Don't you think that the staff will still take away your stones?"
"Don't worry, I'm not that mean. Bai Yuxuan can't afford to disgrace this person."
The person in charge of Bai Yuxuan also laughed and said:
"Master Qi is right. We, Bai Yuxuan, have handled many rough stones, and there has never been any such thing as a swap."
Zhang Dachuan ignored the two of them, placed the stone on the cutting machine, and began to cut it carefully.
With the frantic sound of the cutting machine, the granite skin began to peel off in large areas.
In the dust, everyone watched the stone getting smaller little by little, but no special color appeared. They couldn't help but shook their heads.
"Let me just say, how could jade come out of granite? He is thinking too much."
"It's ridiculous. This guy doesn't even have basic knowledge about stone gambling. How dare he call him Master Banqi."
"It would have been better to admit defeat earlier. Why would we embarrass ourselves in front of so many people?"
Qi Longtai became even more proud. With the victory in hand, he walked to Jiang Wantong and said to Zhang Dachuan from a distance:
"Brother, forget it, I'll take your female companion away, and I won't even apologize, okay?"
"Save you some face."
However, just as Qi Longtai finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed:
"Look, it's shipped!"
"In stock!"
Qi Longtai was stunned and quickly frowned.
I saw a touch of green where one third of the granite was cut away.
Looking at the color, Qi Longtai said with some uncertainty:
"Nuozhong?"
