Urban Pirates

Chapter 68 Don't give up on yourself
There was an embarrassing smile on the faces of those in charge, and then they said to Chu Tianluo, "Do you want to cut that stone?"

Chu Tianluo didn't even think about it, and said with a serious face: "That's it."

His words caused an uproar in the audience, and even the staff next to him persuaded him: "I told you, this is not a rough emerald. If you use it to cut it, isn't that equivalent to cutting it for nothing?"

Chu Tianluo shook his head and said to several persons in charge, "Just tell me if it's free."

The few people saw that he was going to buy the stone, anyway, they didn't care, the stone was worthless, so they nodded together without thinking, and it was accepted.

Duan Ang couldn't help laughing when he saw that Chu Tianluo actually chose that piece: "Are you afraid that you will have to pay too much money if you lose to me and give up on yourself?"

When he said this, those who had doubts at the beginning were relieved. It turned out that this kid chose a free stone to prevent himself from losing too much. This is also very good, at least avoiding hundreds of thousands loss.

"He didn't really give up, did he..." Wu Jinxuan looked at Chu Tianluo's back in a daze and said to herself.

Wu Sanpang looked gloomy, and kept pressing his temples with his hands. He didn't know what to say, thinking that it would save trouble if he also lost the second round. Now this kid is making such a fuss, no Still have to lose a lot of money, although he said he got a free one, but God knows how much Duan Ang will get, there are rows of stones, but there are still several million price tags.

Whenever Duan Ang approached those stones with extremely high prices, Wu Sanpang's heart tightened, for fear that he would fall in love with a few million stones.

In fact, after watching Chu Tianluo choose such a stone, Duan Ang didn't have any scruples at all. It is estimated that he can win this round with just one stone, but it will be Chu Tianluo's money at that time. , he decided to choose one with a higher price tag, so that the chances of cutting out a good jadeite were more or less higher.

"I choose this." Duan Ang said with a smile while standing next to a dark red jadeite rough stone more than half a meter high.

"Hiss—" Wu Sanpang gasped, because he saw that the stone was priced at 570 million RMB, and immediately there was a bang in his head, and he almost fainted.

Wu Jinxuan's expression also became very dignified. This is really not a small sum, and I'm afraid that her father will not be able to bear it for a while.

The stone chosen by Duan Ang is dark red all over, with dark purple patterns like assembly lines coiled on it, even if it is placed next to it, people will think it is a work of art, because it is so beautiful.

Chu Tianluo frowned, because he saw that inside the rough stone, there was indeed a piece of jade with a good texture, and the size was not small. If the color was really good, its value would far exceed the price of the rough stone .

He couldn't help hesitating a bit, but he looked around the other stones, but he couldn't find a stone that could give him [-]% confidence to win the opponent. At the same time, he still had a very strong feeling in his heart, wanting to open the stone that they took Come to recharge the stones and see what's going on inside.

After carefully looking at the stone he had chosen again, Chu Tianluo gritted his teeth and refused to change it.

After they selected the stone, they handed it over to the two masters to cut it open. Everyone had no hope for Chu Tianluo's piece. What could be cut out of just an ordinary stone?Even the master who cut Chu Tianluo shook his head and sighed. He felt like a waste of time, but out of professional ethics, he still worked hard.

"That young man, I'm afraid it will be broken..." A middle-aged man looked at Chu Tianluo and said.

An old man next to him frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, then a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and said to the people around him: "It seems that there is a very high-quality rough emerald stone, which is similar to his stone... "

"Hey, that's just similar. Didn't you hear what the person in charge said, this is just what they hold as a pretense, if it's really that kind of rough stone, wouldn't they know?" Someone immediately retorted.

"That's true... but... that kind of rough stone either has nothing in it, or it's the best jadeite when it's opened. Because it looks like ordinary people can't see the name, even experts sometimes have a hard time distinguishing it. It's really ignored. It might be picked up on the side of the road..." The old man continued to speak, stroking a strand of beard on his chin.

"I've heard of that kind of stone, and it's not always possible to find one with emeralds out of a hundred. Even if this kid gets a cheap one by luck, he won't be so lucky to find any top quality. "Someone next to him shook his head and said, and then he looked at Duan Ang's rough stone intently.

It takes a lot of time to cut these two stones, especially the one of Chu Tianluo. It's laborious, it's exhausting and a waste of time, if he hadn't strictly adhered to professional ethics, he would have put this thing aside long ago, whoever wants to cut it will cut it.

As for Duan Ang's piece, it is much larger than Chu Tianluo's, and the master is also very cautious, so the progress is very slow. Seeing that more than an hour has passed, and the jade has not been cut, the reporters are a little impatient Now, only those who have some knowledge and hobbies about this thing will always watch it with gusto.

Originally, this day's exhibition would end at four o'clock in the afternoon, but the stone betting competition was still in progress. When the third game started, and after five o'clock, it was not over until dinner time. Looking at the cutting process, it is estimated that it will take several hours.

In order to complete the VAM, the exhibition hall closed all the doors of the lobby on the first and second floors, and everyone on the third floor distributed a dinner.

At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, everyone felt a little bored, except for the two masters and their assistants who were busy cutting stones.

"Finally I saw the jade." The master who cut the stone for Duan Ang suddenly said such a sentence, which shocked everyone and immediately surrounded him.

Judging from the opening, that piece of jadeite is very delicate in texture, and there is no slight crack seen yet, and the exposed part is very uniform in color. If the inside is also like this, then its value must be extraordinary.

On the other hand, the piece of Chu Tianluo had been cut off a large circle, and there was nothing to be seen. The cutting master was all sad and listless.

Everyone stared at Duan Ang's stone with fiery eyes. Half an hour later, the exposed jade became bigger and bigger, and it has always maintained excellent quality. Many people began to secretly estimate its value .

Chu Tian has been standing quietly by the side, silently staring at his own stone, his expression is becoming more and more nervous, because his senses can see that it will soon be cut into the stone, which makes him feel strange sense area.

Wu Jinxuan looked at Chu Tianluo from a distance, saw that he was always serious, so she didn't bother him, but prayed silently in her heart, hoping for a miracle to happen.

As for Wu Sanpang, he found a corner and sat blankly, his eyes blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but judging from the expression on his face, he should be completely desperate.

After a few more minutes, Duan Ang's stone was almost cut. There were two connected jadeites inside, both the size of a fist, and one was slightly darker in color, but the quality was very good.

At this moment, the master who cut the stone for Chu Tianluo suddenly let out an exclamation, and everyone hurriedly turned their eyes away.

The master seemed very excited, and he even called his assistant to cheer up. The rest of the people were a little puzzled, because they didn't seem to see any jade cut out, until they came closer, and they all showed very strange faces. Surprised look.

A piece of emerald as big as the tip of a little finger emerged from the stone, its texture was like crystal, and it was almost completely transparent.

"This...could be...a glass floor..." someone blurted out.

"Excuse me... what is the 'Glass Land'?" The reporter on the side asked immediately.

The man explained to the reporter on the spot.

To put it simply, this is a term. "Glass ground" refers to the permeability of jadeite. The jadeite with the best permeability is completely transparent, has a glass luster, is as transparent as crystal, and has no impurities. The best is "glass land", and the ones that are worse than glass land are "ice land", "water land" and so on, depending on the texture of jadeite.

"Then, is that piece of jade that Chu Tianluo has made of glass?" Ji Ji asked again.

The man shook his head: "At present, it is very possible, but the piece that was cut out is still very small, and I haven't checked it up close, so I can't be sure yet."

"However, one thing can still be seen. The color of the small piece exposed at present is very positive, very close to the color of the emerald gem. If the inside is like this..." A person next to him said, with a big smile on his face. He looked extremely excited.

Chu Tianluo also finally knew why he didn't see that piece of jadeite, because its transparency is very high, and at the same time, the rest of the rocks inside the original stone are also green, so this piece of jadeite is well "hidden" in it , almost completely escaped his eyes.

As the stone skin was slowly cut off, the emerald was finally presented in front of everyone. The cut out emerald wool looked vaguely like a coiled green dragon. Someone immediately said, if Let a skilled master carve along this rough shape, even if the quality is slightly poorer, it will definitely be worth a lot of money, and generally speaking, the quality of this piece of jadeite will not be low.

This made those in charge of the exhibition dumbfounded. They never expected that such a big treasure would be given away for free. However, they all looked at Duan Ang, only to see Duan Ang winking at them.

"After making everyone wait for so long, the two treasures are finally willing to come out, so now, please judge, who is the winner in this round!" A person in charge said to everyone, and those reporters hurriedly took Take pictures with the camera.
