The Black Card - Chapter 956

[Chapter 954 What’s the reason?]

Shi Lei remained silent and quietly looked at the master who cut the stone, watching him polish the skin of the rough stone little by little.

Using his own eyes, Shi Lei confirmed the stone Qu Xingye chose.

According to Shi Lei’s current knowledge, this stone should be able to produce at least tens of millions of jadeite jade, and the price is bound to increase.

However, Shi Lei became very unsure. He had already thought about why he had such a big deviation in two consecutive stones, but he also wanted to use the stone chosen by Qu Xingye to confirm.

It didn’t take long for Qu Xingye’s face to darken completely.

This was because this stone was exactly the same as the one Shi Lei had just rubbed away. It turned into an almost opaque waxy stone with a small amount of luster on the surface.

Unless there is jade underneath the surface, and seven or eight bracelets can be pulled out of this stone, he won’t even be able to keep his money.

The final result was soon revealed. Not to mention saving money, the performance of this stone in the future was not even as good as Shi Lei’s just now.

Fortunately, Shi Lei’s piece was quite large in the end, but Qu Xingye’s piece, the further in, the texture became the same as limestone, and it was completely collapsed.

Holding the jade material that looked like a small handle, almost all of which was waxy, Qu Xingye felt like crying without tears.

“It’s okay, there’s still a chance.” Shi Lei patted him on the shoulder, and Qu Xingye could only give him a smile that was uglier than crying.

In the end, Qu Xingye’s jadeite was also taken away by Mo Bingwen, and the price was only 280,000.

Seeing that the bets were ruined one after another, and none of the bets increased, the people participating in the trade fair couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged. They were already hesitant, and now they are even more afraid to make a move.

Time passed quickly, the sky became dark, and none of these rough stones that were sold at high prices could be sold anymore.

Back at the hotel, Qu Xingye’s mood was obviously greatly affected. During dinner, he specially ordered a bottle of liquor and drank it without paying attention to Shi Lei. Soon, he became drunk.

Shi Lei persuaded him to go back to the guest room. Since it was next door, Shi Lei soon heard Qu Xingye opening the door again.

He was a little worried and opened the door. After taking a look, he felt relieved.

A young local woman with heavy makeup stood at the door and was walking in. It was obvious that Qu Xingye was agitated and uneasy, and under the influence of alcohol, he found a woman to vent his anger.

Still knowing that venting showed that his confidence had not been completely lost, Shi Lei returned to the room with confidence.

At the trade fair, Shi Lei first selected five pure rough stones, all of which were selected very well with precise vision.

But after that, everyone who opened the window failed again and again. Even the piece that Qu Xingye bought, Shi Lei actually missed.

This is obviously not a coincidence, but because the raw stone without a window is jade, and the one with a window can be regarded as jade to a certain extent.

Shi Lei didn’t know whether his estimate was accurate, but he could only think of this possibility.

Otherwise, there was no reason to miss three stones in a row, and he always believed that the black card made him draw three jade masters, and there must be some reason.

But Shi Lei was not in a hurry to use the three jade proficiency cards. Instead, he took a bath and went to bed early.

The next morning, it was Qu Xingye’s turn to not sleep well, and he didn’t know how late he had been tossing with that woman. Presumably after the woman had been tortured until she lost her strength, Qu Xingye was also tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

After the two had breakfast, they came to the trading venue again. Shi Lei was still walking among the rough stones through the window. After thinking for a long time, he selected a stone in his heart.

Then, he quietly took out the three jade proficiency cards and used them one by one from elementary to advanced. After confirming that he had completely digested these three cards, he looked again at the rough stone that he had taken a fancy to before.

In an instant, Shi Lei discovered many differences. The knowledge in his mind was effectively combined into a whole. He finally realized where he had gone wrong.

Needless to say, he also saw that the rough stone he selected today was absolutely impossible to bet on.

However, my luck seems to be better than yesterday. The jade in this stone should still be worth four to five million.

Shi Lei looked at the other stones. Different from yesterday, he saw many new problems and re-selected a few possible rough stones.

He was a little hesitant to use the six sensory cards at the same time. Perhaps, with the addition of these six sensory cards, the results he would get would be more accurate.

Just as he was hesitating, Shi Lei discovered that the stone he had set his sights on had been bought by a woman in her thirties and sent to the stone-cutting master for preparation.

Shi Lei stepped forward quickly, just in time to use this stone to test his current vision.

Nearly an hour later, the stone was finally completely untied. People present made bids one after another. The highest bid was 5.6 million, but Mo Bingwen chose to give up. His highest offer was 5 million. Let it go.

In the end, the woman bought the jadeite. When someone asked her whether it had gone up or down, she smiled bitterly and said, “It’s a small increase. I got it for 5.5 million.”

Uh…

The difference is 100,000. It’s really a small increase, it can even be said that it hasn’t increased at all.

Most people found it a bit boring and did not dare to take action easily, but Shi Lei put on a smile because he had completely confirmed that his current vision was enough to see through these rough stones that had been opened through the window.

Walking towards the area where the rough stones were placed, Shi Lei looked at them one by one, and finally found the one he was most satisfied with.

But to some surprise, Qu Xingye was also standing there. He walked up to Qu Xingye and asked in a low voice, “Why, are you interested in this deal?”

Qu Xingye nodded and sighed: “After comparing, only this one has the possibility to make a comeback for me. But I asked Gonda, and his price for this rough stone was 10 million. If it had been yesterday, I still managed to buy it after counteroffering, but today, alas… It seems that God doesn’t want me to turn over. I originally wanted to test the waters with yesterday’s piece, thinking that at least I wouldn’t lose money on that piece. You might even make a small profit. I didn’t expect…”

When Shi Lei heard this price, he calculated the remaining independent funds in his hand, which was about 4.5 million.

“How much money does Mr. Qu still have?”

“About 4.6 million in total.”

“Do you think Gonda will take action if I pay him 9 million for this stone?” “

That’s certainly possible. , his price is only 10 million, 9 million should be able to be obtained.”

“Then ask him.” Shi Lei walked towards Gonda.

Qu Xingye didn’t understand and said loudly: “But I don’t have that much money in my hand… huh? Mr. Shi, are you planning to…”

Shi Lei turned around and said with a smile: “It just so happens that I am also interested in this piece. Since I have You help me share the burden, and I’m willing to share half of it with you.”

Qu Xingye was a little hesitant. Shi Lei’s performance yesterday made him very worried. This is the man who lost two high-priced rough stones in a row. If he partners with him, will he be punished? His bad luck weighing him down?

But looking around, Qu Xingye couldn’t find a more suitable rough stone than this one. He stamped his feet and caught up with Shi Lei.

Shi Lei had already negotiated the price with Gonda, which was 8.8 million. He and Qu Xingye each paid 4.4 million to get the stone.

Qu Xingye hugged the stone with both hands and walked towards the master who cut the stone with great difficulty. In fact, there were people on site who could help him move the stone, but Qu Xingye refused to let go.

It shows his nervousness.
