Chapter 750: Chapter 746: Plant Well to Conceal Three Flaws
Huo Sining did not know what Wang Kaiwen was thinking. Seeing that the stone Wang Kaiwen cut still revealed plain white rock, her smile remained unchanged, and she simply asked, "Who said it has collapsed?"
Huo Sining took a high-powered flashlight out of her bag and shone it on the freshly cut surface of the stone once it was turned on.
"Eh?" It was not just Wang Kaiwen who noticed something was amiss; Yue Meijun also spotted the discrepancy.
Under the yellow glare of the strong light, a faint blue mist seemed to emerge through the surface of the stone that had been sliced open. Although it wasn’t very distinct, one could still clearly differentiate it with the naked eye.
The Stone Solver Master standing beside them, being the most knowledgeable, suddenly lost his composure when he saw this and exclaimed excitedly, "There’s mist!"
Mist had indeed appeared! And the entire exposed surface of the cut was enveloped in blue mist!
Those who truly understood stone gambling knew that a layer of skin normally envelops the raw jadeite material, and beneath this outer skin lies the mist. Underneath the mist is the fresh jadeite.
Based on past experience, the chances of jadeite material that exhibits mist turning out to be green is over ninety percent.
Although only one surface of the stone in front of Wang Kaiwen had been cut, the mist oozing from inside was intense. One could tell at a glance that both the type and quality of waterhead were not bad. If it was indeed an increase in value upon cutting, it meant this stone, weighing more than ten jins, was filled with jadeite inside!
Boss Qi, who was busy in the warehouse, heard his assistant shout and was both shocked and thrilled. He hurriedly dropped the work in his hands and ran out, "It’s gone up? What type is it?"
Since the stone had not yet been fully cut open, it was naturally impossible to discern the exact type, but the sight inside the stone through the strong light could definitely be described as "stunning."
"A white mist tinged with blue, with jadeite certainly below. And this blue is correct, positive, dense, and even; the luster is translucent. We can’t be certain about the type, but it definitely is no mistake! This piece of material belonging to Boss Wang must have surely appreciated!"
The Master beside had been intently watching Huo Sining illuminate the raw material with a flashlight and had been observing for several minutes before he finally raised his head to look at Boss Qi and spoke earnestly.
As these words were spoken, others might not have felt anything significant, but Huo Sining was quite surprised.
Although the cut surface of the raw material had revealed mist, it had not yet scratched the surface of any jade flesh, still wrapped in a layer of stone skin.
It must be said, Wang Kaiwen’s luck was quite good. Out of the five pieces of raw material he selected, only this one was likely to appreciate—a one in five chance wasn’t very high, but this singular piece that could increase in value was a significantly appreciated piece of High Jade.
Within this piece of raw material, hidden True Blue Water Jade ranged from glutinous to Ice-type, full of water head and with a pure and intense color.
Huo Sining could see inside the stone through her Heavenly Eye, but the Stone Solver Master had managed to describe the jadeite within the stone almost accurately, relying solely on his eyesight.
This made Huo Sining have great admiration inwardly; she had assumed that the Stone Solver Masters under Boss Qi were just ordinary craftsmen but did not expect to encounter ones with such hidden depths similar to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
"Boss Wang, do you still want to cut this stone?" Boss Qi asked.
Although this piece of raw material had already shown mist, there was still a risk involved. If Wang Kaiwen decided to sell it at this point, he could at least get several million for it, but that would no longer be the case if it was fully exposed as a clear piece of jade.
The type of jade is extremely important; there is an old saying in the industry, "Good type covers three flaws."
The type of jadeite in a foggy raw material cannot be judged, so it is impossible to know the type of jadeite within the stone.
If the inside is above the Dry Green type, it’s still okay, but if it’s below Dry Green type, it’s **** material, and it can only sell for a couple hundred thousand at most.
Several onlookers had already been eyeing Wang Kaiwen’s piece of raw material and were eager to move on it. Hearing Boss Qi ask, one of them glanced at the raw material on the stone cutting machine, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly spoke up to persuade:
"Boss Wang, I suggest you just sell it. You can still get one or two million for it now, but there’s still a risk if you cut it open. If it turns out to be **** material underneath, you’ll only make back your cost. Old Zhou was greedy before and ended up cutting up and losing!"
Wang Kaiwen was well aware of what the man was thinking. Such a piece of raw material showing green had a considerable gambling element. If he bought it and cut out high-quality green jadeite, he would make a fortune.
The man deliberately brought up Old Zhou’s case to scare him into settling for a sure, smaller gain.
However, Wang Kaiwen had been stunned as soon as he saw the blue mist inside the stone, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.
That move by Huo Sining made him deeply realize that Huo Sining was truly helping him with jade gambling. He, on the other hand, had secretly suspected Huo Sining of deliberately tripping him up; his previous unfounded suspicions had indeed measured the heart of a gentleman with the mind of a petty man.
This made Wang Kaiwen feel ashamed, and at the same time, somewhat guilty. He subconsciously looked at Huo Sining, wanting to seek his opinion.
But this time, no matter how he looked, Huo Sining was seemingly focused inward, no longer offering any hints and showing a significant intent to leave the matter to him.
Wang Kaiwen, who had previously suspected Huo Sining of setting him up, found it difficult to say more given Huo Sining’s current attitude. He lowered his head to look at the piece of raw material in front of him, thought about it for a while, and finally decided to trust Huo Sining’s judgment and take another gamble.
Wang Kaiwen looked at Huo Sining with a complex expression, then gritted his teeth as if making a determined decision, and fixed his gaze on the bidder:
"Boss Liu, I’m really sorry, but I trust my instincts. I’ve decided to open up this stone completely."
Having said this, Wang Kaiwen seemed to have lost the courage to continue gambling on stones. Instead, he turned to look at the Stone Solver Master beside him:
"Master, I believe in your luck! It’s your turn to help me solve it. No need to cut, just rub it directly! If the value goes up from the rubbing, I will surely not skimp on your hard work reward!"
The Stone Solver Master, seeing that Wang Kaiwen was actually asking for his help, was immediately excited and assured him quickly, "Boss Wang, you can rest assured. My stone solving skills have been honed for many years, I definitely won’t make any mistakes!"
Having said this, the Stone Solver Master hurried to the stone cutting machine, picked up the stone and sized it up, and after determining his plan for solving, his hands moved with quick and accurate rubbing motions. Soon, a piece of jadeite the size of an egg surfaced.
Boss Qi, with keen eyes, saw the emergence of green and ignored the rapidly spinning grinding wheel in the Stone Solver Master’s hands, leaning in immediately.
Upon inspecting it, his face changed instantly, and after a silent three seconds, he said in a deep voice, "The color is bright, the luster is abundant, it is Nephrite type!"
