641 Chapter 641, International Exhibition (26)
In fact, at this moment, Douglas Lowell was very conflicted. He hoped that he could solve the best jade and let him feast his eyes on it. At the same time, he hoped that he could not solve anything and let him win the bet.
It was probably the first time in Douglas Lowell’s life that he was so conflicted when he solved the stone.
When she went back that night, Gu Qingchen was not as lucky as she was the night before. Fortunately, Rong Yu knew that she had an exhibition the next day, so he restrained himself a little. He only asked for her twice and let Gu Qingchen rest.
When she woke up the next morning, although Gu Qingchen’s body was a little sore, she did not feel any other discomfort. When she woke up in the morning, she soaked in the agarwood bathtub for a while. The soreness on her body immediately disappeared.
Gu Qingchen also asked a little. The matter with Rong Yu was handled smoothly. The multinational company that Gu Qingchen wanted to start had basically all the procedures settled.
When Gu Qingchen found out about it, she was really shocked. She knew that Rong Yu would definitely be able to settle this matter quickly, but she did not expect it to be so fast!
Gu Qingchen and Rong Yu were intimate for a while before they arrived at the hall.
When Gu Qingchen arrived at the hall, she saw Timothy Ruskin and Douglas Rowell standing together. The two of them were waiting for her in the hall. When they saw Gu Qingchen coming over, the two of them quickly stood up, they walked towards Gu Qingchen.
“Both of you are so early. Is there something urgent?”
Douglas Rowell immediately asked with a little excitement, “Nothing urgent, nothing urgent. Little Prodigy, don’t worry, Aiya! I told you that you are a little prodigy, you really know everything! Last night, the stone-cutting staff worked hard all night, and guess what happened? A small portion of the raw stone (s) was removed, and in the end… There wasn’t even a single piece of Jade!”
Gu Qingchen wasn’t surprised, because the stone-cutting staff started from the outermost area. Gu Qingchen sensed that there was no jade at the outermost area, only a little inside. It was just that… the value was not high.
Timothy Ruskin said with a smile, “Little prodigy, you were not at the scene, so you didn’t see it. The expressions of those experts at that time were extremely ugly! “To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen those experts have such expressions. Usually, they don’t look at US arrogantly. “However, after this small portion of the outer skin was removed, all of them were like eggplants that had been frosted, instantly wilting!”
Timothy Ruskin was obviously gloating.
When Gu Qingchen heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Aren’t you afraid that extreme happiness will lead to sorrow? After all, before something like raw stone (s) is completely removed, no one can be sure that there isn’t any top-grade stuff in it.”
Timothy Ruskin waved his hand and said with certainty, “No! Definitely not. I believe in the little prodigy very much. Since the little prodigy said that there is no good jade in the raw stone (s) , then there definitely isn’t.”
Timothy Ruskin trusted Gu Qingchen very much. He treated Gu Qingchen’s words as an imperial edict, Sacred and inviolable.
Gu Qingchen expressed that she was a little helpless, but she only said, “Let’s go to the venue. We can also take a look at the raw stone (s) . How’s it going?”
Arriving at the third floor of the Royal Museum, Gu Qingchen and the others went straight to the Jade Stone area. Gu Qingchen and the others were already early, but when they arrived at the Jade Stone area, they found that there were already many people in the jade stone area, but there were only a few people in the other areas.
Gu Qingchen took a look from afar. These people were really fast in dissecting the raw stone. In just one night, only half of the raw stone (s) was left.
However, from the progress point of view, there was indeed no progress. Even half of the raw stone (s) did not have a single piece of jade.
It was also because the outer layer of the raw stone was dissected that the outer layer of the raw stone (s) was relatively easy to dissect. Therefore, these people who dissected the raw stone (s) were able to dissect half of the area so quickly.
Timothy Ruskin and Douglas Lowell were satisfied with their meals. After they rested, they walked in front of Chen and the others proudly.
Douglas Lowell even said provocatively, “Chen, how’s the dissecting of the raw stone? Do you have any top-quality jadeite? Let’s have a look.”
Douglas Lowell knew that the peeling process was not going well. Such a large piece of jadeite had almost been cut in half, but there was not a single piece of jadeite.
Chen’s face immediately turned ashen. He simply ignored Douglas Lowell after hearing what he said.
Not to mention Chen, even the other experts did not look good either. It was unknown whether they were staying up late or angry!
Gu Qingchen did not deliberately stay there to anger others. She only watched for a while and then left. Douglas Rowell and Timothy Ruskin had achieved their goal, so there was no need for them to stay.
Although the next day was some exhibitions of the royal family, the jewelry on the first day was also there. In other words, everyone was free to buy the jewelry on the first two days.
The Royal Family’s exhibition was scheduled to be held at a fixed time.
Therefore, Gu Qingchen continued to search for treasures while there was still time. It had to be said that the raw stone (s) on display in this exhibition were very good. It was at least a hundred times better than the last time Gu Qingchen participated in the domestic jade exhibition.
In the domestic exhibition, the raw stone (s) had to be picked out from a pile of ordinary raw stone. However, this time was different. Gu Qingchen had a rough look. Basically, every raw stone (s) that could be put on display for sale could be extracted with jade.
It was just a matter of whether the jade was valuable or not.
One had to know that this was not easy. At least these raw stone (s) had been selected from thousands of people.
Moreover, Gu Qingchen had really found a lot of raw stone (s) that had an excellent touch. Although the raw stone (s) was not cheap, Gu Qingchen still bought it very generously.
Douglas Rowell and Timothy Ruskin were dizzy and could not figure it out at all.
How did Gu Qingchen choose the raw stone (s) ? She did not use any tools. Could it be that… it was really like what Gu Qingchen said, just based on luck?
This… wasn’t it too childish?
Gu Qingchen looked at the raw stone that she had bought and thought for a moment. Then she looked at the two people and asked, “I need to unlock a part of the raw stone. Are there still people here to dissect the raw stone (s) ?”
Douglas Lowell and Timothy Ruskin shook their heads. Then, they pointed to the side of the raw stone (s) and said, “All the people who dissect the raw stone (s) are over there now.”
As the raw stone (s) was a bright spot, almost all the manpower was placed over there.
