The jade gambling experts and jade merchants nearby were all stunned.

They were just laughing at Xu Xing, a porcelain repairman, for coming to the jade auction to join the fun, but as soon as he arrived, he locked up seven pieces of jade in one go, swiping his card without even asking the price.

That was an amazing move!

"Holy crap, what's this guy's method? He didn't even bother to look before attacking?"

"Who knows? Maybe they're just rich and willful. Anyway, it's their own money they're spending, so what's it to us?"

"That's true, but it's outrageous. Seven pieces of jade locked in at once, that's worth at least ten million, right?"

"What is more than ten million to them? The top restorer at Chengxinzhai earns at least tens of millions a year."

"That's other people's money, why should we worry about it?"

Even so, the way these people looked at Xu Xing still carried a hint of mockery.

The girl at the service desk quickly calculated the total price: "Sir, the total price for these seven pieces of jade is 11.2 million. Will you be paying in full?"

"Full payment."

Xu Xing handed over the bank card.

The girl took the card and swiped it on the POS machine.

Xu Xing entered the password, and the transaction was successful.

11.2 million was spent just like that.

The girl at the service desk returned the bank card and receipt to Xu Xing, a smile of admiration on her face: "Mr. Xu, your transaction has been successfully completed. Would you like us to arrange for staff to deliver the rough stone to the cutting area now?"

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Xu Xing put away the bank card and nodded.

The girl immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called over several staff members. Following the numbers provided by Xu Xing, they moved the seven raw stones off the display stand.

Load it onto a small cart and push it towards the stone-cutting area next to the exhibition hall.

Xu Xing followed behind, his steps leisurely.

Meanwhile, all the jade gambling experts and jade merchants in the exhibition hall put down their powerful flashlights and headed towards the stone-cutting area.

They wanted to see if the porcelain repairman would cry later.

Chen Guodong, the person in charge of the event, stood in the control room on the second floor, looking at the scene below through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

"Damn, people in Chang'an are so stupid and rich."

He turned to his assistant, his voice tinged with barely suppressed excitement, and said, "A piece of material worth over ten million, and he just glanced at it twice and immediately bought it at the locked-in price, without even haggling over the price."

"If we had known these people were so easy to fool, our company should have come here to hold the public auction a long time ago. We'd be missing out on so much money!"

The assistant laughed along, "Mr. Chen is right. We've held so many auctions in Tengchong, but we've never seen such a straightforward customer."

"That's why exploring new markets is the right thing to do."

Chen Guodong patted his assistant on the shoulder, "Make a note of this. When you report to headquarters later, be sure to emphasize the market potential of Chang'an and suggest increasing investment here next year."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Chen Guodong glanced downstairs again, his gaze landing on Xu Xing's retreating figure, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

In his view, Xu Xing had the typical nouveau riche mentality. He thought he was invincible after making some money and went to the jade gambling auction to act like a big shot.

He'd seen plenty of customers like this.

In the end, without exception, they all lost everything.

Chen Guodong had already started planning whether he should go up and offer a few words of comfort after Xu Xing had cut all seven pieces of jade into pieces, and at the same time promote the few pieces of jade in the high-end section to make another profit.

Meanwhile, a large crowd had already gathered in the stone-cutting area.

The stone-cutting area is located in a corner on the east side of the exhibition hall, with five large cutting machines and two small cutting machines, along with several buckets and water spray pipes.

Several stone cutters were sitting on plastic stools nearby, drinking tea and chatting. They were all stunned when they saw Xu Xing and his staff pushing a cart over.

"They're already cutting the stone?"

The oldest stone-cutting master put down his teacup, stood up, and looked somewhat surprised. "The public auction has only been open for less than half an hour, hasn't it?"

"Yes, sir, thank you for your trouble."

Xu Xing smiled, walked to the cart, picked up a stone pencil, and began to quickly draw lines on the seven raw stones.

He acted quickly, without the slightest hesitation.

The stone pencil traced lines across the surface of the raw stone, leaving clear lines. Two or three cutting lines were drawn on each piece of raw stone.

The stone-cutting masters looked at each other, each seeing a hint of doubt in the other's eyes.

Generally speaking, people who gamble on stones will observe and ponder repeatedly before cutting them, and will only start after determining the best cutting plan.

Someone like Xu Xing who draws lines without even looking at them properly is either a true master or a complete novice.

Judging from Xu Xing's age and temperament, the latter is clearly more likely.

"Young man, are you sure you want to cut it like this?"

The oldest stone-cutting master stepped forward, glanced at the line Xu Xing had drawn, and couldn't help but remind him, "The skin of this piece of black jadeite is in very poor condition. The line you drew is too far in the middle. If you cut into it and find nothing, this piece of material will be ruined."

"It's alright, Master. Just cut along the lines I drew."

Xu Xing didn't care at all.

Seeing his insistence, the stone-cutting master stopped trying to dissuade him, shook his head, and called on the other masters to start working together.

Five cutting machines started up at the same time, their blades spinning at high speed with a piercing hiss as they slowly cut into the rough stones.

The onlookers held their breath, their eyes fixed on the blade of the cutting machine.

Chen Guodong also came down from the second floor, stood on the periphery of the crowd with his arms crossed, and had a look of anticipation on his face.

The sound of the cutting machine lasted for about two or three minutes, and then stopped.

Several stone cutters stopped their machines and rinsed the cut surfaces with water.

The moment the cut surfaces of those rough stones were exposed to the air, the entire stone-cutting area fell silent.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

The F-037 yellow sand skin rough stone has a rich, bright green color on the cut surface. It has excellent texture and water content, and the color is bright and vivid. There are no cracks or impurities.

Icy jadeite, a vibrant green!

The black jadeite of G-012 has a large area of ​​purple jade flesh exposed on the cut surface. The violet color is just right, and the texture of the glutinous ice type is crystal clear.

The H-089 gray sand-skinned rough stone has a cluster of icy floating flowers on its cut surface. The floating flowers are lively and natural, evenly distributed, and of extremely high quality.

J-045, K-023, L-071, M-056—each of these rough stones revealed stunning jade-like flesh on its cut surface!

All seven rough stones have seen a significant price increase!

Not a single piece is scrap!

The entire stone-cutting area fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the seven facets, their minds blank.

Those expert jade gamblers who had just been secretly mocking Xu Xing for being an amateur now had incredibly interesting expressions on their faces.

There was shock, disbelief, jealousy, and a deep sense of frustration.

They have been working in this industry for more than a decade or even several decades, and they consider themselves to have exceptional insight and rich experience.

But today, they were slapped hard by a complete novice at repairing porcelain.
