The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Gu Mingshan swiped his card while giving change:

"Sir, the Muna white mist is divided into living mist and dead mist. The internal texture of the living mist is delicate, and there is still a possibility of ice-type green floating on top."

The rough stone has a reddish skin and is covered with a layer of milky white mist. It is a piece of unsold stock that has been sitting in the store for two years. Now that there is a chance to sell it, Gu Mingshan naturally does not want any unexpected events to happen.

Fortunately, Qin Jianjun did not back out, and he breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly told Lao Wang to get things done.

Old Wang moved the raw bayberry-skin stone onto the stone-cutting machine.

He first used a grinding wheel to scrape away the surface white fog. The fog layer was loose and would break at the slightest touch. It was the worst dead fog in the industry, and the water inside was grayish to the naked eye.

The onlookers shook their heads inwardly, all realizing that the situation was not good.

Old Wang changed from wiping to cutting, and changed his direction.

The second cut revealed a light green, icy-colored jadeite with clear translucency and no obvious cracks.

The crowd stirred instantly, the previously somber atmosphere suddenly brightened, and some people exclaimed in quiet amazement.

"It actually turned out to be an icy, greenish variety; could it be a sign of a slight price increase?"

Zhao Xu's expression tightened, and he subconsciously took half a step forward.

Gu Mingshan didn't care whether the price went up or down; he was just happy to make a sale.

Seeing that the situation was improving, he explained to Qin Jianjun, "Muna material has a lot of inner cotton. The outer skin looks good, but the inside is mostly filled with cotton."

However, as Lao Wang made his third cut, halving the flesh lengthwise, a large clump of cotton instantly covered the cut surface. The cotton fibers intertwined into a net-like structure, directly enveloping all the green flesh and reducing its translucency.

The icy green jadeite, which could have been sold for 380 million yuan, has had its value halved due to the presence of dead cotton inclusions, and is now only worth about one million yuan.

The onlookers sighed in dismay.

"What a pity, the quality of the grain and color are all up to standard, but it's ruined by the inner cotton."

"I estimate it to be around one million."

"So what if it's a million? He lost 1.8 million in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Xu let out a long sigh of relief, regaining his previous arrogant expression.

He wasn't sure how much or how little Qin Jianjun's windfall was, but it could be a considerable sum, so he probed:

"Brother-in-law, are you still going to gamble? If you stop now, this money will be completely lost and you'll never be able to earn it back."

Qin Jianjun's smile remained unchanged. He turned to look directly at Zhao Xu and said calmly:

"You're right, if I stop now, I'll definitely lose money. Do you know of any other good pieces of jade?"

The onlookers couldn't help but murmur in disbelief.

"Holy crap, just how rich is this guy? He doesn't even blink when he loses over two million."

"Is he just throwing money away at the jade gambling street? A normal person would have stopped after losing once or twice."

Zhao Xu's pupils brightened slightly upon hearing this; it was indeed a considerable windfall!

However, the situation is exactly as he expected. Qin Jianjun has clearly been blinded by his short-term good fortune and has completely fallen into a gambler's mentality.

He immediately suppressed his elation, pretending to be kindly giving pointers, and pointed to a two-million-dollar Hicah frog-skin rough stone on the third shelf.

"This piece, with its pine-flower pattern, has a very high probability of yielding several kilograms of high-quality, fully green jadeite worth four to five million. Even experts wouldn't dare touch this piece; I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone. If it weren't for wanting my brother-in-law to recoup his investment, I would have prepared to cut it myself!"

Seeing Zhao Xu's serious and pretentious expression, Qin Jianjun suppressed the urge to laugh.

He coughed lightly and asked Gu Mingshan to swipe his card again.

Gu Mingshan was overjoyed and quickly took the bank card. After swiping it, he even clipped the machine to his waistband.

He had a premonition that if this rough stone with frog-skin texture failed, Qin Jianjun would continue to gamble.

As expected, the subsequent cutting revealed that the surface of the Hwaka frog skin was covered with vibrant pine flowers, but the interior had a horizontal internal crack that ran through the entire stone. All the pine flowers broke off along the crack, yielding only four pieces of broken bean-shaped green material. The total estimated value was around 400,000 yuan, resulting in a direct loss of 1.6 million yuan.

Before Zhao Xu could speak, Qin Jianjun asked calmly:

"Are there any other materials you like?"

Zhao Xu was slightly taken aback, then pointed to a piece of raw stone with yellow sand skin from the Southern Qi Dynasty, priced at 360 million yuan, on the top shelf.

"This piece of Southern Qi yellow sand skin has a tight, evenly desanded outer layer. Industry experts estimate there's a 40% chance it will develop into a glutinous ice-type jadeite with floating blue flowers. In perfect condition, the market price for this loose stone could reach 14.5 million..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Jianjun didn't hesitate at all: "Swipe the card."

For the next three hours, the same scene repeated itself over and over again.

After the rough stone recommended by Zhao Xu was cut and shrank, Qin Jianjun immediately turned to ask Zhao Xu if there were any other good stones he had his eye on.

Zhao Xu then made the recommendation, and Qin Jianjun swiped his card without hesitation to have the stone cut open, only to have it collapse.

Before each recommendation, Zhao Xu would secretly guess how much money Qin Jianjun had left.

When the first four months were almost six million, he thought Qin Jianjun was about to collapse, but he still heard the other party asking questions.

When he lost more than 10 million yuan in the first eight months, he thought Qin Jianjun's windfall was about to run out, but the questions remained the same.

At first, he was quite pleased that Qin Jianjun was so enthusiastic.

But every time he thought Qin Jianjun was about to run out of money, the other party would swipe his card without saying a word, without the slightest hesitation.

This made his expression grow increasingly serious.

How much of this windfall did Qin Jianjun actually make?

The discussions among onlookers completely changed, from initial observation to outright shock.

"That's outrageous! They've already lost over ten million, and they're still going?"

"Chun Chun is just here to amuse herself by watching the spendthrift."

"I also want to be rich like him, and gamble on stones without any scruples like him."

"No, you can't!" someone retorted.

"Who says I can't? If I had unlimited money, I'd just live in the jade gambling district 24/7 and cut rough stones, okay?" the man retorted.

I'm saying you won't have any money.

The critical hit left the man speechless; it hurt too much.

By the time the tenth stone was cut open, not counting the failed jadeite pieces that broke even, the total amount spent on buying the raw stones had already exceeded 20 million yuan, leaving Zhao Xu completely stunned.

Old Wang's change in mentality was visible to the naked eye. He went from actively observing the seed quality and hoping for a surge in growth despite the adverse conditions to gradually becoming mechanical and numb.

Ten rough stones in a row, each with a window showing a few specks of green, but once cut deep, they will inevitably be accompanied by penetrating cracks, always just a hair's breadth away from a big price increase.

Now he focuses solely on making precise cuts and no longer pays much attention to the cross-section of the raw stone.

Only the shop owner, Gu Mingshan, remained calm, though inwardly he was overjoyed.

He cleared out all the unsold raw stones that had been piling up in the store for two or three years. After deducting the cost of purchasing the raw stones, he could still make more than ten million yuan!

So much so that he only gave brief hints about the possible germs at key points throughout the entire process, and he wouldn't utter a single word about any risks that might be implied.

The fear is that Qin Jianjun will stop gambling.

Zhao Xu originally intended to use the unsold scrap materials in the store to gradually deplete Qin Jianjun's funds, making him lose face in public and burdened with huge debts.

But right now, Qin Jianjun is like a bottomless pit of funds, suffering huge losses without any ripples, which makes him seem narrow-minded and deliberately framed.

After the last piece of Southern Qi stone was cut, the cross-section was riddled with cracks, resulting in another huge loss.

The surrounding chatter was deafening, with everyone thinking that Qin Jianjun was simply a spendthrift.

Qin Jianjun still looked at Zhao Xu with a calm smile, repeating the same questions he had asked after each collapse.

"Are there any other materials you like?"

Zhao Xu's expression was solemn.

Qin Jianjun lost 20 million yuan but remained so calm. How much money must he have behind him?

Or is he just putting on a brave face?

The entire room fell into a deathly silence, with only the echoing sound of the cutting machine and the patter of water hitting the ground.

Everyone watched the two of them in silence.

Zhao Xu sneered and pointed to the bulletproof, temperature-controlled glass cabinet inside the shop. The soft light from the cabinet shone on the surface of the raw stone, making the skin of the entire Hpakant black jadeite stone as smooth as a mirror, with even and delicate sand removal.

He didn't say anything, because the price listed above was shocking enough:

Twenty million.

"This is the store's prized raw stone," Gu Mingshan explained to Qin Jianjun.

"There is a chance to find imperial green jadeite of the dragon stone type from the raw materials from the Hpakant mines."

How low is the probability? Less than 5%.

However, Gu Mingshan could not tell Qin Jianjun.

Zhao Xu couldn't possibly say.

The remaining onlookers, also curious to see if this genuine shop site stone could yield imperial green jadeite of the Dragon Stone variety, remained silent.

Zhao Xu continued to provoke him, saying, "Brother-in-law, if you have money, why not gamble on this piece? If it's a huge success and turns out to be a dragon-stone type of imperial green jadeite, that's worth hundreds of millions!"

Just when he thought Qin Jianjun didn't have any more spare money and was preparing to recommend another piece of material worth several million,

But Qin Jianjun remained calm and said:

"Swipe your card!"
