"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 cut one Imperial Green; that's quite impressive. Do you really expect to get three more from these Raw Stones?" Hua Xinyuan scoffed.
"My luck has always been great, President Hua. Just wait and see," Yue Hui replied confidently, commanding the cutting of the stones to continue.
As the second Raw Stone was cut open, a deep green hue emerged once again.
"Another Imperial Green, and it's even larger than the first one!"
Gasps of astonishment filled the room.
Hua Xinyuan's expression darkened completely.
The Stone Cutting Machine roared to life once more as the last Raw Stone was slowly sliced open. Everyone craned their necks, anxiously waiting.
This last Raw Stone was the largest of the three. While the first two had yielded Imperial Greens worth at most a little over a billion, Yue Hui wouldn't make much profit from them. However, if this final stone also revealed an Imperial Green, she could earn at least five billion.
The Stone Cutting Machine halted, and as the last Raw Stone was cut open, a rich green color unfolded before everyone’s eyes, this time covering an even larger area.
"Oh my God, another Imperial Green! Miss Yue's luck is incredible! This ten billion investment was worth it; she could make at least ten billion in profit," someone said enviously.
Hua Xinyuan's pupils dilated in disbelief. If word of this got out, how would he ever show his face again? This wasn't just luck; he couldn't believe that Yue Hui had such fortune in selecting three Raw Stones that all contained Imperial Greens. If that wasn't luck, then what was it? Could that girl truly be some kind of stone gambling expert?
"Miss Yue, are you plotting against me?" Hua Xinyuan confronted Yue Hui coldly as he approached her.
"President Hua, I wouldn't dare scheme against you. Everyone saw it; you were the one who agreed to let me freely choose three Raw Stones," Yue Hui smiled innocently.
"I don't think you were just choosing randomly. Who's been advising you behind the scenes?" Hua Xinyuan's gaze sharpened.
Hua Xinyuan was certain that he had indeed been outmaneuvered by Yue Hui. How could he let this slide after being deceived by someone from the Yue Family?
"President Hua, I already told you that Mr. Jiang is a stone gambling expert; he's the one who guided me," Yue Hui replied with a calm smile.
"He?" Hua Xinyuan looked at Jiang Chen with a sneer and raised his voice disdainfully. "What does he know? He calls 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 needed to be said. We have everything in black and white; the agreement has been signed, and I've already transferred ten billion to you. Are you really thinking about going back on your word?" Yue Hui's expression darkened as well. Although the Hua Family had deep roots, they were still a prominent family in the capital city. With a clear conscience, she had no reason to fear them. As the chairwoman of Yue's Jewelry Group, she held her ground firmly. While she would give face to the Hua Family, she wouldn't be easily bullied either.
"It's just a few pieces of Imperial Green; we in the Hua Family don't take them seriously. But remember this, Miss Yue: no one has ever dared to deceive me. Since you claim this boy is a stone gambling expert, let him demonstrate his skills for me. If he can convince me with his abilities, I won't pursue this matter further," Hua Xinyuan said in a low voice.
