There are actually not a few people who have the same idea as Qi Longtai.
Like Qi Longtai, they all believed that the loss of Ice Yellow to Ice Green didn't mean anything. Qi Longtai had every chance to win back in the next two games.
Qi Yun even loudly explained to the people around him:
"In the first game, my master just tested his strength and allowed him to win a small victory. The best part is yet to come."
After hearing this, the others naturally agreed one after another, fearing that this exciting stone gambling duel would come to an abrupt end midway.
Zhang Dachuan laughed:
"Then let's continue, so that some people can be convinced."
Qi Longtai snorted coldly, turned back to his side, and personally pushed the second stone forward for the staff to cut.
The stone with a diameter of fifty centimeters only cut down five centimeters this time and then stopped.
The staff member responsible for cutting stopped the machine in surprise, looked up at the crowd and said:
"It seems to have been shipped."
As soon as this statement came out, the crowd immediately became excited:
"Really? So fast?"
"If the jade is only shipped five centimeters below the fifty centimeter mark, doesn't it mean that the jade must be forty centimeters?"
Qi Longtai quickly rushed over, looked at the stone with a look of ecstasy, and said loudly before the appraiser could identify it:
"This is a piece of ice-green jadeite, about thirty-five centimeters in diameter, and it is crystal clear and flawless. It is even better than the one he had before!"
"There is nothing wrong with the estimated value of this piece of jade at 3.8 million!"
As soon as this statement came out, the crowd immediately burst into exclamation:
"It's amazing. As expected of Master Qi, he actually opened such a large piece of ice green."
"A large piece of ice-grown green jadeite costs 3.8 million less."
"It seems that his disciple is right. Master Qi's first game was just a warm-up, and now he is really starting to exert his strength."
"This should be the best stone in this stone appreciation competition. If you want to surpass it, you can only use the glass imperial green."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent for a second or two, looking at Zhang Dachuan with a little sympathy.
Imperial green, the king of emeralds, has a probability of 1 in 10,000, can he get it?
This is no longer simply a matter of strength, but also has an element of luck. If there is no imperial green in the batch of stones on site, then no matter how strong Zhang Dachuan is, he will not be able to conjure imperial green out of thin air.
Touching the huge green piece of ice, Qi Longtai felt that he had never been so happy in his life. He looked at Zhang Dachuan and said with pride:
"Jiang Yu, it's not too late for you to admit defeat now."
Zhang Dachuan did not speak, but pushed out his second stone.
Qi Longtai snorted coldly when he saw this:
"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin, right?"
"Cut it open!"
The latter sentence is addressed to the staff responsible for cutting.
The staff member then placed Zhang Dachuan's stone on the cutting machine and started cutting with the instrument.
Five centimeters, no.
Ten centimeters, no.
Fifteen centimeters, still nothing.
As large areas of stone skin peeled off, everyone who was full of expectations gradually gave up.
"Looks like it's gone."
"Yes, the fifteen centimeters will no longer be shipped. Even if the ice green of the same level is finally available, it will be impossible to beat Master Qi."
"It's a pity that the strength is still low."
"After all, young people don't understand that there are people outside of others."
Seeing this scene, Qi Yun was even prouder than Qi Longtai. He pointed at Zhang Dachuan and said to Zhou Aoxue:
"You see, Aoxue, a person who relies purely on luck cannot be brilliant for a long time. Once he meets a big shot like my master who has real abilities, his true colors will be revealed immediately."
Zhou Aoxue looked over there nervously, and asked without looking back:
"Is there really no chance of winning?"
Qi Yun chuckled:
"Unless he drives the imperial green, he has no chance of winning."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cutting staff over there stopped and signaled the appraiser to ship the goods.
The appraiser quickly ran over and carefully wiped the surface of the stone with a wet rag amidst the flying dust.
The next second, a ray of emerald green light reflected the lights on the ceiling and shone on everyone's faces.
In an instant, all the sounds on the scene disappeared.
People stared blankly at the source of the emerald green light, their mouths wide open in shock.
The nearest appraiser was trembling with excitement.
He raised his head, looked at everyone present, and said incoherently:
"Laokeng glass type...imperial green...diameter, thirteen centimeters, slightly, slightly brown fluffy blemishes."
boom.
In an instant, the scene was boiling.
Everyone rushed to the cutting table like crazy, staring at the piece of emerald imperial green embedded in gray-black stone with wide eyes. The expressions on their faces were either shock, admiration, or disbelief.
Someone yelled crazily:
"Emperor green, really imperial green! It's amazing."
"It's the first time in my life that I've seen one in imperial green. I can't even imagine it. It's so beautiful."
"Master Jiang is the real master. Being able to draw the imperial green is not just a matter of luck."
Hearing this, the others nodded immediately and looked at Zhang Dachuan with completely different eyes.
Some people couldn't help but say:
"Master Jiang, can you sell this piece of jadeite to me for free? I'm willing to pay eight million."
As soon as this person finished speaking, he was immediately scolded by another person:
"Eight million? Thanks for your words, why don't you go and grab it? Although this piece of imperial green has some flaws, it is good for planting and watering, and it is better because of its size. According to the market price, it can be sold for twelve million. Easily."
"Master Jiang, I will pay 12 million to buy this stone. If you don't ask for anything else, I just want to make friends with you."
As soon as I heard this price, there was a gasping "hiss" sound all around.
Although everyone is rich, selling a stone for 10 million still makes people's scalp numb. Then, they all cast disdainful eyes on the person who only gave 8 million:
"What a bastard. You still want to collect eight million from the Imperial Green. Do you think everyone is a fool?"
"It's so shameless, get out of here, profiteer."
The man's face turned red when he was scolded, and upon seeing this, he quickly increased the price:
"I'll give you fifteen million, Master Jiang. I also want to be your friend."
Zhou Aoxue heard the conversation from a distance, a happy smile appeared on her pretty face, and she said to Qi Yun beside her:
"Twelve million versus three million and eight hundred thousand. It seems that your master lost the second game again."
Qi Yun looked extremely ugly and turned his head away, pretending not to hear.
Amidst the crowd's competing bids, Zhang Dachuan walked up to Qi Longtai as if no one else was around and said calmly:
"Qi Longtai, you also lost the second round."
Not far away, Fan Linglong's ruthless voice sounded loudly:
"In the second round, Master Jiang Yu wins."
Qi Longtai looked at Zhang Dachuan blankly, and suddenly let out a cry of collapse:
"No, I didn't lose, I can't lose."
"This is not true!"
"I do not accept!"
He grabbed Zhang Dachuan's arm and shouted at him with red eyes:
"One more round, we're not done yet, there's still one last round, we'll decide the outcome in one round!"
"You dare?"
