"Look, it's green, but unfortunately, it's ice type, so it's only worth a few hundred thousand."
"Come and see, this one is fully green and it's glass type. This large piece is worth at least ten million."
"This one also has green; it's ice type."
"This one is glass type."
"..."
Almost every piece of Raw Stone could yield jadeite, but unfortunately, Hua Xinyuan's face remained devoid of a smile; he was waiting.
As the Raw Stones dwindled, in the end, not a single piece yielded imperial green. Hua Xinyuan's expression darkened immediately. Even though several pieces of high-quality glass type jadeite were revealed, he couldn't feel happy about it.
"Mr. Hua, this time it’s not a loss. If these jadeites are made into jade artifacts, they could be worth over a billion. After some expenses, you could still make a profit of one or two hundred million," someone said. For most jewelers, making a profit of one or two hundred million would be quite worthwhile.
But for someone like Hua Xinyuan, that wasn't enough, and he also knew that whether he could actually make that much profit was still uncertain; he might even end up with a small loss.
"Mr. Yao, it seems this Python Ridge Mine's Raw Stones aren't all that impressive. Didn't you say you could always find imperial green? How come there isn't a single piece this time?" Hua Xinyuan looked at Yao Bao and sneered.
"Well, who can guarantee 100% with gambling stones? Besides, Mr. Hua, you didn't really lose out this time; you did find quite a bit of glass type jadeite, right? And basically every piece of Raw Stone showed some green; that's not something other Emerald Rough Mines can compare to," Yao Bao replied awkwardly, thinking it was strange that usually there would be one or two pieces that could yield imperial green, yet this time there were none.
Hua Xinyuan snorted coldly, his expression displeased.
"Oh right, there are still three Raw Stones from Miss Yue that haven't been cut yet. Who knows? Those three Raw Stones might yield imperial green," someone suddenly said.
Everyone then remembered that there were still Yue Hui's three Raw Stones.
At this moment, Yue Hui felt a bit excited; since Hua Xinyuan hadn't found any imperial green, didn't that mean her three Raw Stones might actually yield imperial green?
"Heh, I can't get any imperial green from all my Raw Stones; how could Miss Yue expect her three Raw Stones to yield imperial green? That's just wishful thinking," Hua Xinyuan sneered coldly.
Yue Hui ignored Hua Xinyuan's mockery and took out a marking pen for Jiang Chen to draw lines on the three Raw Stones. Jiang Chen marked all three pieces before they were moved to the Stone Cutting Machine.
As the Stone Cutting Machine started up, everyone leaned in closer. Although Hua Xinyuan scoffed verbally, he felt quite nervous inside; if Yue Hui managed to find imperial green, he would truly be embarrassed beyond measure this time.
The first piece of spirit stone was cut open, revealing deep green hues that made the onlookers' eyes widen in astonishment.
"It really yielded imperial green!" everyone exclaimed in disbelief.
Imperial green is the finest among greens and the best quality jadeite; it is extremely rare and worth a fortune. Although this piece of imperial green wasn't large, it was enough to make several pairs of bangles; a pair of top-quality imperial green bangles could be worth over a hundred million.
Hua Xinyuan was taken aback and quickly looked over; seeing that it truly was imperial green made his expression even worse. However, regaining his composure, he arrogantly dismissed it by saying, "Miss Yue really has good luck; but even if it yielded imperial green, it's not worth ten billion."
"Mr. Hua, don't be anxious; there are still two Raw Stones left to cut," Yue Hui said firmly to Jiang Chen without any doubt now that they had indeed revealed imperial green.
"Miss Yue, you shouldn't hold out too much hope. A person's luck is limited. You've already managed to uncover one Imperial Green, which is quite good. Do you really expect to find three Raw Stones, all yielding Imperial Green?" Hua Xinyuan said with a look of disdain.
"My luck has always been great, President Hua. Just wait and see," Yue Hui replied confidently, ordering them to continue cutting the stones.
The second Raw Stone was cut open, revealing a deep green hue once again.
"Another Imperial Green, and it's even larger than the first one."
The crowd gasped in astonishment.
Hua Xinyuan's expression darkened completely.
The Stone Cutting Machine roared to life again as the last Raw Stone was slowly cut open. Everyone craned their necks, anxiously waiting.
The final Raw Stone was the largest of the three. Although the first two had yielded Imperial Green, they were only worth about a billion each at most, meaning Yue Hui wouldn't make much profit. However, if the last stone also revealed Imperial Green, Yue Hui could earn at least five billion this time.
The Stone Cutting Machine stopped, and the last Raw Stone was cut open, displaying an even richer green hue than before.
"Oh my God, another Imperial Green! Miss Yue's luck is incredible; this ten billion was well spent—she could at least earn ten billion," someone said enviously.
Hua Xinyuan's pupils dilated. If this news got out, how would he face others? This situation was definitely not just luck; Hua Xinyuan couldn't believe that Yue Hui could have such good fortune by randomly selecting three Raw Stones that all happened to be Imperial Green. If this wasn't luck, then what was it? Could that kid really be some kind of stone gambling expert?
"Miss Yue, are you plotting against me?" Hua Xinyuan asked coldly as he approached Yue Hui.
"President Hua, I wouldn't dare to plot against you. Everyone saw that it was you who agreed to let me choose any three Raw Stones," Yue Hui replied with a smile.
"I don't think you were just randomly picking them. Who's guiding you from behind?" Hua Xinyuan asked sharply.
Hua Xinyuan was certain that he had indeed been outmaneuvered by Yue Hui. How could he let this slide after being played by someone from the the Yue Family?
"President Hua, I've already told you that Mr. Jiang is a stone gambling expert; he guided me," Yue Hui said calmly with a smile.
"Him?" Hua Xinyuan looked at Jiang Chen and sneered before raising his voice in disdain. "What does he count for? How dare he call himself a stone gambling expert? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who can be easily fooled?"
"President Hua, I've said what needs to be said. We have everything in black and white; the agreement has been signed, and I've already transferred the ten billion to you. Are you trying to back out now?" Yue Hui's expression also darkened. Although the Hua Family had a deep background, they were still a prominent family in the capital. Anjia had acted with a clear conscience this time; there was nothing to fear. Since Yue Hui could become the chairman of Yue's Jewelry Group, she had her own authority. She would give face to the Hua Family but would not be intimidated easily. However, if the Hua Family pressed too hard, the the Yue Family was not to be trifled with either.
"It's just a few pieces of Imperial Green; we in the Hua Family don't take them seriously. But Miss Yue, remember this: no one in this world dares to play tricks on me. Since you say this kid is a stone gambling expert, let him show me his skills. As long as I am convinced, I won't pursue this matter any further," Hua Xinyuan said in a deep voice.
