Old Wang's palms were sweating, and his breathing became heavier.

The raw stone now has only one last piece connecting to the base, less than eight centimeters wide. This is the final cut that will determine its fate.

The remaining stone is too thin, and cutting it with a blade will easily shatter the jade. It cannot be cut with a cutting machine anymore, and can only be finely polished with a grinding wheel.

If you cut it open and see no color, it means the inside must be hollow, and the result of the whole thing collapsing is self-evident.

This cut will be crucial!

He couldn't help but be nervous.

Seeing the dramatic change in everyone's expressions, and combining the water revealed on the three sides, Qin Jianjun already had the answer in his heart. The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and a strange sense of pleasure arose in his heart.

"It's just a lucky break. Having two sides doesn't mean it's connected. The final blow will definitely cause it to collapse." Zhao Xu's face tightened, but he forced himself to remain calm.

This is universally recognized as waste material; its price is impossible to rise!

"I've seen this kind of material many times. It's green on both sides, with a broken and hollow middle. In the end, you can only cut a few pieces of it."

Zhao Xu kept reassuring himself: A break! A break is inevitable! Qin Jianjun won't have that kind of luck!

The others echoed his sentiments.

"That's right, it's most likely a layer of green, and it won't pass through."

"This is just a one-day treat; I'll give you a good beating later and show you what real trash you are!"

As soon as the blade cut into the surface of the stone, Old Wang's eyes widened instantly, and his breath stopped abruptly.

The jadeite is a rich and even apple green color, perfectly connected along the three cut surfaces. The entire piece is translucent, with an icy sheen, and all flaws such as cotton, cracks, and discoloration have disappeared.

Old Wang's hands trembled slightly as he carefully turned the entire rough stone over, presenting the complete jadeite cross-section to everyone.

This palm-sized, three-centimeter-thick piece of icy apple-green jadeite has color that runs through all three sides, and its texture has reached the high-quality standard for icy jadeite.

If you add the original apple green color, then it will absorb the color from all sides, and there can't be any impurities inside; it must have been absorbed.

"Congratulations, boss! Big gains!" Old Wang shouted, his excitement barely contained.

"A standard high-quality, icy apple green jadeite, completely flawless, with a market price for a loose stone between three and five million!"

According to the shop's rules, if he cuts out a million-dollar piece of jadeite, he can get a 3% commission on the raw stone's selling price, plus a tip from the employer, making him over a hundred thousand yuan.

Moreover, the discovery of a million-dollar piece of jade at Zhangshiju will attract a large number of stone enthusiasts to share in the good fortune, causing the shop's revenue to skyrocket. According to the profit-sharing rules, he will also receive a large bonus this month!

Old Wang felt a surge of emotion.

It wasn't just because of the division of labor; more importantly, I never expected that such high-quality, icy apple-green jadeite could be found in the final waste material!

A new path opens up before you do!

How could it not be a pleasant surprise? How could it not be exciting!

Before anyone could react, Old Wang immediately switched to an ultra-fine grinding wheel and bowed to Qin Jianjun: "Boss, please wait a moment, I'll polish out this icy apple green color for you right away!"

Qin Jianjun clicked his tongue twice, deeply shocked.

With an initial investment of 500,000 yuan, it multiplied sixfold in just ten minutes. No wonder people are addicted to this sudden thrill of getting rich quick.

Is this what jade gambling is all about?

It's truly a case of getting rich overnight!

The onlookers' expressions changed drastically, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This can produce a high-quality, icy apple green color? How is that possible? How could this universally recognized waste material possibly yield apple green, let alone a high-quality, icy variety!"

"Even the experts misjudged it? A complete novice managed to snag a bargain?"

"A guaranteed minimum of three million! That's a net profit of two and a half million!"

All eyes were on Qin Jianjun, a mixture of awe, envy, and disbelief.

Zhao Xu, however, was deathly pale, his cheeks burning as if he had been slapped in public.

He had deliberately planned to see Qin Jianjun lose 500,000 yuan and then cry his eyes out.

As a result, the other party's stock price has now surged against the trend.

Then what is he?

Just thinking about Qin Jianjun pretending to thank him for recommending the waste material to me...

His heart felt incredibly heavy.

As the grinding wheel carefully polished it, the last bit of grayish-white outer layer peeled off, revealing the entire piece of high-quality, icy apple-green jadeite. It shimmered with a lustrous sheen, its color rich and warm, and it was crystal clear under light.

The jade merchants present collectively gasped in shock.

"With this condition, even if it were sold at a premium of three to five hundred thousand, there would still be people scrambling to buy it."

The next second, three bids were announced simultaneously.

"Sir, I'll offer three million. Will you take the bait?"

"Three million? You're dreaming! I'll offer three million two hundred thousand! Sir, sell me!"

"I'll pay 3.35 million! Settlement on the spot!"

The waiter at Zhangshiju immediately spoke up as well.

"Sir, the store is buying on your behalf. 3.5 million, no handling fee, transfer immediately."

A palm-sized, high-quality, icy apple-green jadeite—with such a quality, it's no wonder it sells so well!

"I spoke first, so that's not fair of you." The other person, who also offered 3.5 million, was clearly unhappy with the price quoted by the shopkeeper of Zhangshiju.

"Mr. Liu, our boss also really likes jade of this quality." The waiter smiled awkwardly.

"Three million six hundred thousand." The man snorted and raised the price again.

This time, the waiter dared not follow. This Mr. Liu was a regular customer of the shop, and he had to give him face.

Seeing everyone bidding and scrambling, and then noticing Qin Jianjun's smug expression, Zhao Xu gritted his teeth, forced a disdainful look, and scoffed:

"It was just a stroke of luck, what's there to be proud of? If you're so capable, try betting another dollar."

He turned to the side and pointed to a large raw stone on the top floor inside the shop.

"Did you see that 3.5 million yuan piece of old elephant skin from Moshisha, completely covered? Experts estimate there's a 60% chance it will yield imperial green glass-type jadeite, with a guaranteed market price of 12 million yuan!"

"Brother-in-law, do you dare to cut it?"

Zhao Xu's palms were covered in cold sweat, and he was extremely flustered.

He was terrified that Qin Jianjun would give up, which would mean that Qi Jianjun could pay off his one million yuan debt and live a good life from then on.

This is something he absolutely cannot accept.

He had to provoke Qin Jianjun into taking another gamble.

This time, we're bound to suffer losses and fail miserably.

The others frowned. How could there be a 60% chance of finding imperial green jade on that old elephant hide from Moxi Sha?

At most, it'll be 30%!

Is this another trap they're setting?

The two seem to have a deep-seated grudge!

Qin Jianjun ignored Zhao Xu's provocation and turned to look at Mr. Liu, who had offered the highest price.

"Three million three hundred and fifty thousand. Can you transfer the money right here? If so, this jade is yours."

Mr. Liu was overjoyed, "No problem, I'll transfer it right now!"

Seeing the two begin the transfer process, Zhao Xu's face turned deathly pale.

Qin Jianjun made it clear at this point that he wanted to quit while he was ahead and was preparing to leave.

"Brother-in-law, no one gets rich without a windfall! Your luck is at its peak right now, this is a once-in-a-century gambling opportunity, it would be a shame to stop now! If you miss this chance, you might never have this kind of luck again!"

He put on a fawning expression and hurriedly advised:

"Why not press our advantage, make this ten million, and then we can live a better life!"

Qin Jianjun largely agreed with Zhao Xu's words; everyone else thought the stock was bound to collapse, but he could make it soar.

Doesn't that mean he has great fortune?

It must be because he ate that one-in-a-million golden koi, and the fish's luck transferred to him.

Chen Jun's previous victory over him was merely due to his initial good fortune from that lucky koi fish. Hmph, now, he has absorbed all that luck.

Jade gambling? It's nothing special.

Besides, if he didn't agree, how could he possibly see Zhao Xu's frantic expression later on?

So Qin Jianjun said magnanimously to his partner:

"Bring that piece of material worth 3.5 million and cut it up."
