I Have a Wealth Gathering Array
Chapter 463: Competing to Curry Favor
"The cutting starts now!"
"This Master Zhao looks quite confident."
"What does confidence matter in gemstone betting? If it were that easy to cut out jade, wouldn’t it be easy to become the richest person? Why would anyone need to come here and gamble?"
The people around were discussing among themselves, not believing anyone could be that skilled at gemstone betting, yet Qin Yun appeared so confident.
"Sis, do you think... Master Zhao can win on a few stones?"
From one spot, Zhang Mingqi couldn’t help but ask softly.
Her gaze was fixed on the cutting machine, eagerly awaiting the result.
"I don’t know."
Zhang Mingyue shook her head, also watching closely.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were glued to the scene.
Jin Xin stepped forward and nodded to the stone-cutting master.
The cutting master looked at Qin Yun and asked, "Master Zhao, where do you want to cut?"
Inside the stone is jade, and a whole piece is definitely better, so the cutting line is crucial, usually decided by the owner of the raw stone.
Qin Yun pondered for a moment, then drew a white line, saying, "Cut from here."
"Alright."
The stone master nodded and started the machine. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
An earsplitting sound echoed.
Li Yang, Sun Yu, Jin Xin, and others watched with serious expressions, evidently not calm inside.
Zuo Han standing nearby was the same, but he was hoping for Master Zhao to lose outright.
If Master Zhao won, Zuo Han would lose ten million, and he could imagine his family’s reaction when they found out.
But if Master Zhao lost, he would gain ten million!
"He must lose."
Zuo Han clenched his fist, filled with anticipation.
"Crack!" "Crack!"
The harsh sounds continued, making the wait feel endless, but no matter how long, time moves on.
Finally, the machine opened, revealing the cut stone to everyone.
"It’s green!"
"Oh my, it really paid off!"
"It’s water jade; this looks quite valuable!"
"Master Zhao, I’ll offer five million, would you sell?"
The crowd gazed at the raw stone’s smooth cut surface, transparent like water, which Qin Yun had bought for three thousand bucks!
"It really went green!"
Zhang Mingqi’s face was filled with shock, staring unbelievably.
Not just green, but high-quality jade!
She was astounded, and Zhang Mingyue promptly stepped forward and said, "Master Zhao, our Yueqi Jewelry Store is willing to purchase it at the price we discussed earlier!"
This kind of premium water jade, she definitely did not want to let slip.
Exclamations sounded as jewelry people got excited, eager to buy, while Li Yang, Sun Yu, and others all looked serious.
"How is this possible?" Sun Yu’s face changed; does Qin Yun really have x-ray vision to see inside stones?
He absolutely did not believe in such things.
"Damn it!"
Zuo Han cursed inwardly at the sight before him, feeling the sensation of loss.
Sun Yu’s face turned, Zuo Han internally cursed, while Li Yang and the others stayed silent, staying watchful.
"Cut the second stone."
Qin Yun alone remained calm, drew a white line, and continued cutting. Soon, the result came, triggering another wave of exclamations.
"Again it paid off!"
"This jade piece isn’t as valuable as the first but still worth at least thirty thousand!"
"That’s incredible!"
Then, the third stone, also paid off, valued at one hundred thousand jade.
Fourth stone, kept paying off! Jade worth fifty thousand!
...
A constant stream of astonished cries came through, as people witnessed the miracle happen before their eyes.
"Seems this batch of raw stones brought by Jin Xin is quite high-quality." Qin Yun thought silently.
Based on his skill, he mostly picked stones with jade inside, with high probability; even in the worst gambling markets, the winning chance was sixty percent!
Therefore, Qin Yun was not worried about selecting good pieces from the seventy million newly arrived raw stones from Lingyan Gambling Stone Market.
Previously, he just took a few away; according to his plan, he’d buy at least a dozen!
But now only picking ten stones, the winning chance was even higher!
"What’s going on over there? Why’s it so noisy?"
"Don’t know, let’s go check it out!"
In the distance, some people noticed the commotion and hurried over.
When they learned of the happenings here, their eyes showed deep shock.
Crowds kept gathering, and the stone cutting went on; after the first four, the subsequent ones, without exception, all paid off, one stone alone produced jade worth seven hundred thousand.
Now, Qin Yun’s victory was decided, but no one stopped him from cutting the final three stones as well.
Among them, two had jade, and one didn’t.
"Ten raw stones, nine of them paying off! Master Zhao spent thirty-something thousand, and the jade cut out now is worth eighteen million!"
"God, how did he judge?"
"A genius!"
People were shaken, staring at Qin Yun with both shock and excitement.
Even Zhang Mingqi’s mouth formed an ’O’; the chubby person she never favored turned out to be so powerful?
With a flip of hand, he earned nearly twenty million?
That’s just the jade valuation; if sold, it’s definitely more!
"Damn it!" Among the crowd, the one feeling worst was undoubtedly Zuo Han, with store closures, falling stock prices, and now he was just about to give away his only remaining million plus, who could understand that feeling?
Zuo Han realized since encountering Qin Yun, everything went wrong; first due to Qin Yun, now because of this Master Zhao.
If Qin Yun knew his thoughts, he might solemnly say, "Sorry, it’s all me."
"Haha, Master Zhao really is impressive!" Zuo Han felt bad, while Li Yang was all smiles, stepping forward, saying, "I rarely admire someone, but Master Zhao really opened my eyes today!"
His face was full of cheer, appearing very enthusiastic.
What a joke, would he not rush to make friends with such a skilled gemstone master?
"Brother Yang is right, Master Zhao, you are incredible!"
After Li Yang, others, including Sun Yu, stepped up and laughed.
Jin Xin did the same, saying with a smile, "I think you deserve the title of a true master!"
His words carried a bit of flattery.
Qin Yun glanced at him, secretly thinking that if Jin Xin knew his real identity and realized he had cleaned out Jin Xin’s gambling stone market twice, he wouldn’t know what his expression would be.
Thinking of this, Qin Yun spoke, "Since I’ve won the bet, the seventy million can be settled."
"Alright, Master Zhao, we will transfer the money to your account right away." Upon hearing, Li Yang and others spoke.
