Ultimate Master in Urban

Chapter 697: The Pricey Emperor Green! [1]


"Young man, it's your turn for the large rough now! Do you want to cut the stone?"

The stone-cutter looked at Ye Feng and asked.

The rest of the crowd also turned their gaze toward Ye Feng, faces full of curiosity as if they wanted to know whether this guy's selection of a large rough would actually yield jade!

"Cut the stone!" Ye Feng's face showed a hint of excitement before he said to the stone-cutter.

Hearing this, the stone-cutter immediately moved the Stone Cutting Machine and aimed it at the large rough. He then turned on the power and started cutting along the edge of the vein slowly!

Seeing this scene, everyone around widened their eyes, including Wang Yijun and Xue Jing!

Compared to them, Ye Feng was much calmer, only the smile on his lips seemed so mysterious!

Buzz buzz...

As the sound of the machine cutting rose, pieces of rough were being cut off. But after several slices, there was still no hint of green!

This scene cast a heavy disappointment over the spectators; to them, the likelihood of this piece producing green was extremely slim!

Meanwhile, Xue Jing scoffed and said:

"I knew this guy was bluffing. A country bumpkin, how could he possibly pick jade!"

"Don't worry! Although this guy made some money today, what does that count for? I've rented that place for you! Besides, I've already alerted the hotels around the area. Nobody will take them in tonight! They can only spend the night out on the streets, which serves as revenge for you!"

Xue Jing's boyfriend did have some sway, being well-acquainted with several hotel managers nearby. Just a word from him could easily leave Little Jade and Ye Feng homeless for the night!

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing finally nodded contentedly. If she could make things difficult for Little Jade, it served as avenging herself!

But as the two of them were whispering to each other, sighs from the surrounding spectators started to be heard again. The large rough was now cut by more than half, but still not a trace of green had emerged!

Wang Yijun, looking at this scene, then said to Ye Feng:

"Young man, this rough doesn't seem like it will produce green. I advise you to give up!"

Wang Yijun's thoughts were similar to the others', that the texture and appearance of this rough was too poor, making it difficult to yield green, especially now that it had been cut by over half, reducing the possibility even further!

But Ye Feng just smiled lightly and shook his head, then said to the stone-cutter:

"Master, let me do it!"

After speaking, Ye Feng walked up to the Stone Cutting Machine and started cutting down onto the rough fiercely!

Ye Feng's way of cutting was nothing like the cautious approach of the stone-cutter; it was bold and broad, each cut removing a large chunk of waste material!

In the blink of an eye, he split the whole rough into two smaller raw stones!

Ye Feng's actions startled the people around him. It was the first time they had seen such a crazy method of cutting. Even if there was jade inside, it might likely have been ruined by Ye Feng's rough handling!

Yet, Ye Feng paid no attention to the odd stares from the crowd. His eyes were fixed on the two raw stones he had cut. He trimmed the four corners and, finally, a crisp 'crack' sounded as a piece of waste was cut off!

However, as soon as the piece of waste was removed, a dazzling green light instantly caught everyone's attention!

"It's gone up! It really has!"

"Damn! That green is so dazzling! It doesn't look like it's from the old pit, does it?"

The exclamations of surprise from the crowd intensified, especially at the sight of such a big piece of raw jade. Many jewelers got excited and started calling out their bids:

"Young man, I'll offer 1 million; just sell it to me! If you keep cutting it, it might become waste!"

"No way! I'll give 1.5 million! Sell it to me, even if it's a loss, I'll accept it! What do you say?"

...

The jewelers were like flies drawn to a rotten egg, their eyes alight with a sharp glint, while Wang Yijun snorted coldly:

"Forget it, you all. No matter what type of jade this young man cuts, I want it!"

As the leading figure in the jewelry industry, the rest of the jewelers feared no one else. At his words, those around him immediately backed down!

Meanwhile, amid the noisy discussions, Ye Feng's hand was steadily supporting the Stone Cutting Machine, and he began cutting the jadeite raw stone faster and faster!

The speed was so shocking it was as if he didn't care at all whether he would cut into the jadeite inside the stone; the chips were flying everywhere, startling everyone around!

And when Ye Feng made his final cut, a vibrant emerald green luster suddenly appeared. Upon seeing this color, everyone's heart began to pound furiously!

This was... Emperor Green!!!

Wha-!

Upon seeing this strand of emerald green luster, the crowd was in an uproar!

Emperor Green, also known as Granny Smith Green, represents top-grade jadeite, the most valuable and best-colored jadeite!

An Emperor Green jade pendant or bracelet is deemed a treasure to be passed down through generations!

What's more terrifying is that each piece of Emperor Green is worth a fortune, and they are priceless due to their rarity!

As the crowd caught sight of such a large piece of Emperor Green, their hearts almost stopped; their mouths agape, they gasped for air, their expressions filled with fervent greed!

It wasn't just the ordinary jewelers; even Wang Yijun's heart skipped a beat!

As the industry giant in Hong Kong, his main store harbored a piece of Emperor Green, not for sale but as the crown jewel of the shop!

However, his crown jewel paled in comparison to the size and lively color of the piece in front of them now!

"30 million! I'll offer 30 million; sell me this piece of jade!" At that moment, some jewelers, eyes red, could no longer contain themselves against Wang Yijun's intimidation, and they began to shout their bids.

"40 million! Young man, sell it to me! I can transfer the money right now!"

"I offer 60 million!"

...

The place grew even more chaotic now, each jeweler bidding frantically as if they had gone mad!

However, only they knew that acquiring this piece of Emperor Green, even for hundreds of millions, would be worth it!

Putting aside the fact that an Emperor Green jade pendant or bracelet could be worth hundreds of millions, the popularity that it could bring was worth the price alone!

Just having that piece of Emperor Green in the shop would create a sensation in Hong Kong; even a third-rate trading house could become famous overnight and jump to the top tier!

Seeing that his peers no longer cared about his intimidation, Wang Yijun's expression turned ugly. He then shouted loudly:

"I bid 500 million!!!"
