Chapter 2040: Chapter 2000: Three Women Betting on Jade Stones

At 9:40 in the morning, the ribbon-cutting opening ceremony began, but now the Jade City inside indeed has a lot more people.

Malaysia is very close to Myanmar, and there really isn’t a large Jade City like this over there. Lin Xiang is experiencing such a large-scale Jade City for the first time.

While Ye Qiu pulled Xiaomai and Li Qianqian to walk in front, Lin Xiang followed behind them.

At this moment, a large group had gathered at a stone gambling place, and judging by the attire of these people, they all seemed to be wealthy.

In Myanmar, these raw stones for gambling are very cheap, ranging from dozens to one or two hundred per kilogram, but when they reach Ruili, the price may double, or even more, becoming four to six hundred per kilogram.

From Ruili to Jinling, the raw stone price definitely doubles again, costing at least eight hundred per kilogram.

However, today, because it’s the official opening, a special price is offered, six hundred per kilogram of raw stones.

In fact, Ye Qiu knows that collaborating with Myanmar for supplies, the raw stone price is still very cheap.

"Ye Qiu, is this stone gambling?"

In the country, if it’s other forms of gambling, they are mostly illegal.

But stone gambling is allowed as it is legal.

Moreover, ordinary people can’t really gamble, because they don’t have money.

Li Qianqian watched those people constantly picking raw stones, weighing them, and then cutting them. What surprised Li Qianqian was that jadeite was indeed cut out.

Once these jadeites are cut out, their prices multiply, undoubtedly earning profit.

"That’s right, this is stone gambling."

Seeing those people exclaiming in amazement.

Previously, those who wanted to try stone gambling had to fly to Ruili, but now, in Jinling, this Jade City actually has everything.

Judging from the probability of jadeite being found in these raw stones, it’s quite impressive.

"Would you like to try your luck? If you win, it’s yours; if you lose, it’s mine."

Ye Qiu said, looking at Li Qianqian and the other two women.

"These stones cost six hundred per kilogram? That’s quite expensive."

Li Qianqian remarked.

A stone weighing a few kilograms may not cost much, but if it weighs tens or hundreds of kilograms, it would be quite expensive.

Under Ye Qiu’s encouragement, the three women went to pick out jadeite raw stones.

Of course, the three women were purely guessing.

But Ye Qiu was different; with the influence of Spiritual Energy, he could sense whether these jadeite raw stones truly contained jadeite.

Previously, when he was in the Qi Refinement Realm, Ye Qiu could sense it, and now having progressed to the Foundation Establishment Stage, his sensing ability is even stronger.

While the three women went to choose, Ye Qiu also went to pick out his own.

After all, this Jade City is his, so he also needs to engage the players.

Ye Qiu selected his stones using Spiritual Energy to sense them.

Upon touching those large stones, he began sensing.

Seeing Ye Qiu placing his hand on the jadeite raw stone, Li Qianqian asked, "Ye Qiu, what are you doing touching that stone?"

"You don’t understand, I’m picking."

Picking?

She had only ever heard of touching watermelons to pick ripe ones, and now Li Qianqian heard for the first time about using hands to touch stones for stone gambling.

"I don’t believe this can help picking."

These large stones are too difficult to determine what’s inside even with other technologies.

Ye Qiu continued choosing his stones.

He picked all that he could sense.

The probability of finding jadeite was there.

Ye Qiu picked more than ten pieces, and after weighing them, spent nearly two million Huaxia Yuan.

This is real money being spent, and when Ye Qiu swiped his card to pay, Cai Yong already knew Ye Qiu was gambling on stones over there.

However, Cai Yong thought Ye Qiu was deliberately acting as a promoter.

Li Qianqian, Lin Xiang, and Xiaomai didn’t dare play big, spending only a little over one million combined.

But still, this is indeed real money spent.

"Sir, should we start cutting your stones?"

A young employee at the store asked.

"Start with theirs and see."

The stone cutting machines were also brought over from Ruili, and quite a few were hauled in, and now these mask-wearing employees began cutting Lin Xiang’s stones.

When Lin Xiang’s first jadeite raw stone was placed on the stone cutting machine, Lin Xiang prayed it would contain jadeite, so she could later create a jade bracelet or something.

But she was disappointed to find the first jadeite raw stone had nothing.

There was nothing but a useless rock.

This worthless stone actually cost several tens of thousands.

The people watching around immediately started jeering, feeling it was a huge waste of money.

With that amount, you could buy a jade artifact, which is quite worthwhile.

When Lin Xiang’s second jadeite raw stone was placed on the cutting machine, it quickly revealed it was just another useless rock, nothing but powder.

It wasn’t until the last piece that Lin Xiang’s jadeite raw stone was cut open to reveal a palm-sized icy jadeite.

This piece could be made into some nice jade artifacts, but such icy jadeite wasn’t worth much.

"Really hit the mark."

Seeing she really hit a piece, Lin Xiang appeared quite excited.

Looking at the palm-sized jadeite being cut, and cleaned with water, the ensuing raw jadeite looked quite nice indeed.

Lin Xiang seemed to forget she had wasted twenty or thirty thousand just to hit this one.

Meanwhile, Li Qianqian’s side was also undergoing stone cutting, but her luck was worse, spending over forty thousand and not hitting a single piece.

With that money, she could’ve bought a BMW.

Unexpectedly, she gambled and got a pile of useless stones, and if her parents found out, she’d probably be scolded to death. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Ye Qiu, how come not a single hit?"

Li Qianqian asked displeased.

"Well, that’s just average luck for you."

As Xiaomai’s pile of raw stones was being cut, she spent over thirty thousand, but unexpectedly, upon cutting her second piece, a palm-sized white jadeite with green base was revealed, worth thirty or forty thousand.

"Miss, sell me this piece, I’ll give thirty thousand." Asked a middle-aged man quickly.

Xiaomai didn’t expect this piece to be worth thirty thousand?

Then she wouldn’t lose much?

However, if processed into artifacts, it should be more valuable.

She wanted it processed to give as gifts to Ye Qiu’s family later.

"I won’t sell it, I’ll process it myself." Xiaomai said.

The people felt it was a pity.

But unexpectedly, you could really gamble and hit well.

The remaining raw stones were cut and found to be just useless stones.

Even so, altogether, they still lost half of their money.
