Hua Xinyuan slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of disdainful amusement. In the eyes of the Hua Family, these people were far inferior in strength; they were merely child's play, and he naturally did not take them seriously.
"Who has an opinion? Step forward and speak," Hua Xinyuan said with a cold laugh, his tone carrying an air of dominance.
Although everyone was dissatisfied, seeing Hua Xinyuan's domineering demeanor, no one dared to stand up against him. After all, offending the Hua Family would not end well.
The room fell silent; everyone felt indignant but did not dare to speak up. It was not worth offending the Hua Family over some jade.
"Mr. Hua, I will take all these Raw Stones, of course, but how much are you prepared to pay?" Yao Bao naturally had no objections as long as the money was right.
"Two billion," Hua Xinyuan replied.
Two billion was already quite a lot. Only by opening a few Imperial Green stones could he break even. If it were ordinary jade, even if it were glass-type, it would only be worth at most several million. However, Imperial Green was not easy to come by. Even the top jade experts would not dare to guarantee that any particular Raw Stone would definitely yield Imperial Green.
These more than one hundred Raw Stones could only sell for two billion under inflated prices. Therefore, Yao Bao had no objections; he understood that there was basically no Raw Stone that could guarantee an Imperial Green yield. Despite having over one hundred Raw Stones, most could only produce jade of average quality, which was not valuable.
"Mr. Hua is indeed wealthy; then it's a deal at two billion," Yao Bao said with a smile.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Yue Hui spoke up.
Jiang Chen had said that those three Raw Stones could yield Imperial Green; how could Yue Hui let this opportunity slip away?
"Miss Yue, what do you mean? Are you trying to compete with me?" Hua Xinyuan's expression darkened as he looked at Yue Hui, his tone gloomy.
"Commercial competition is normal. Since I am here, I certainly cannot leave empty-handed. However, I must give Mr. Hua face; I wouldn't dare not to. Since you are willing to pay two billion for these Raw Stones, I am willing to offer an additional one billion to buy three Raw Stones from you," Yue Hui said with a charming smile, maintaining her composure and poise.
Upon hearing this, the entire room was stunned.
Even Hua Xinyuan couldn't help but pause for a moment before looking at Yue Hui with interest.
Hua Xinyuan had already had these more than one hundred Raw Stones examined by Old Zhou, who said that these Raw Stones were all top-quality and had a high probability of yielding Imperial Green. However, Old Zhou was not certain which among them could truly yield Imperial Green. That was why Hua Xinyuan decided to buy them all; as long as a few could produce Imperial Green, then his two billion would be worth it.
But Yue Hui's sudden move caught Hua Xinyuan off guard. However, he did not immediately refuse.
One billion for Yue Hui to choose three Raw Stones was a deal that would only profit him; Hua Xinyuan did not believe that Yue Hui could pick out the Raw Stones that would yield Imperial Green.
"Miss Yue, are you sure you want to do this? Three Raw Stones for one billion—unless you can yield Imperial Green; otherwise, your one billion will go down the drain," Hua Xinyuan laughed.
"Mr. Hua, rest assured. Since I dare to do this, I naturally have full confidence," Yue Hui replied confidently.
"I wonder who gave you such confidence to think you can pick out three stones from over one hundred that will yield Imperial Green? Even Old Zhou does not dare to be so confident," Hua Xinyuan scoffed.
"Old Zhou may lack such confidence, but the stone gambling expert I invited, Mr. Jiang, has that confidence. Mr. Hua, three hundred million for three Raw Stones—are you willing or not?" Yue Hui smiled.
Hua Xinyuan glanced at Jiang Chen and couldn't help but burst into laughter recklessly; it was simply ridiculous that Yue Hui believed in the words of a young man.
"Haha, of course I'm willing, Miss Yue. The stone gambling expert you've invited is truly surprising. Let's settle on this: one billion for three Raw Stones. You can choose them; I'll give you half an hour to study them carefully. Don't end up regretting it later and say I took advantage of your the Yue Family." Hua Xinyuan laughed heartily, initially thinking that Yue Hui's confidence meant she had brought in a jade expert, but it turned out to be just a young kid, which was quite amusing.
"I think Miss Yue has too much money and actually believes that kid is a stone gambling expert. I see him as nothing more than a fraud," someone remarked.
"To make a name in the jade industry, experience is crucial. That kid is so young; even if he has been exposed to jade since childhood, he can't possibly be better than the jade appraisal masters present," another added.
"Anyway, it's not our money being spent. Let's just enjoy the show; Yue's Jewelry can afford to put out a billion," said another observer.
The onlookers were chattering away without holding back, and Yue Hui could hear them clearly. In truth, it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous, but she preferred to trust Jiang Chen just this once.
"Mr. Hua, no need for half an hour; I've already made my selection: Raw Stones number 8, 35, and 89," Yue Hui said calmly.
Hua Xinyuan was cautious; seeing Yue Hui so confident made him a bit uneasy. He glanced at the elder Zhou beside him.
"Is there a chance these three Raw Stones could yield Imperial Green?" Hua Xinyuan asked quietly.
Elder Zhou approached the Raw Stones and examined them closely before replying, "It's possible, but the probability isn't very high. These three Raw Stones are not large; even if one of them does yield Imperial Green, it wouldn't be worth ten billion. So Mr. Hua, you won't be at a loss in this deal."
With Elder Zhou's reassurance, Hua Xinyuan felt more at ease and waved his hand for Yue Hui to take the Raw Stones. She quickly had her assistant coordinate with Hua Xinyuan's assistant to sign the agreement and confirm the payment.
Once the agreement was signed, everyone couldn't help but watch eagerly. Today's stone gambling event had become even more exciting due to Yue Hui's sudden move.
"Miss Yue, shall we cut the stones and take a look?" Hua Xinyuan asked with a smile. He was also curious about what kind of material Yue Hui had bought for one billion.
"Mr. Hua, you're the senior here; you go ahead and cut first. This time, we both put out ten billion—I've bought three Raw Stones while you've bought over a hundred. If you find something good, then there's no need for me to cut my three Raw Stones and embarrass myself," Yue Hui replied with a smile. She wasn't foolish; if her three Raw Stones didn't yield anything valuable, it would be embarrassing. It was better to let Hua Xinyuan cut first; if he found something good, she wouldn't have to cut hers.
"Alright then, I'll go first," Hua Xinyuan said confidently.
Although there were over a hundred Raw Stones, many jade consultants were present. They quickly discussed and determined the cutting plan for each Raw Stone. Once the plans were set, they began cutting.
Cutting stones is the most thrilling part of stone gambling; every time a Raw Stone is cut open, everyone feels tense and anticipates what will be revealed inside.
