Because everyone felt that No. 36 stone was of little value, no one raised the price after Casey offered the price.
Benjamin originally wanted to raise the price, but he was afraid that Casey was deliberately setting him up. If Casey stopped raised the price after he raised the price, he would lose a lot. So he didn’t speak.
In the end, Leonardo got the stone with one million.
Casey was still a little happy. After all, if there were good jade materials in this stone, they would make a lot of money.
After not long, all the stones in the first round were auctioned. The second round of observation began.
The stone-cutting part would be carried out after all the rough stones were auctioned off, so Casey and Leonardo went to see a few more stones.
After the second round of auctions ended, everyone was excited when it came to the stone-cutting part.
After all, this part was the time to truly see whether there were good jade materials in the stones they auctioned off. Only when the stone was cut, they would know whether the stone was worth money. Before the stone was cut, everything was unknown.
Everyone gathered around the stone-cutting area, looking expectantly at the staff cut open the stone.
Of course, some people would choose not to cut the stone, but took the stone back and sold it directly. Sometimes it could be sold for some money if the stone was not cut. But as long as the stone was cut open, maybe they would lose hundreds of thousands.
Both Leonardo and Benjamin wanted to make themselves famous through the auction. Only when was there jade in the stone, the stone was easy to sell.
"Mr. Leonardo, in fact, you had the opportunity to prevent me from coming to Yutian County to get a slice of the cake. But unfortunately, you gave up on your own initiative. I have to thank you very much." Benjamin stood beside Leonardo and said with a smile.
Leonardo glanced at Benjamin and said, "The stone hasn't been cut yet. I think you should wait until you have cut it before you say this."
"Do you think there are no good jade materials in NO. 1 stone? Tell you, Mr. Abraham is sure that I can get good jade material from this stone. If I sell this stone, I will make a doubled profit. With the few stones you bought today, it is impossible to compare with me." Benjamin believed in himself.
"That's not necessarily." Casey on the side said.
Benjamin immediately sneered and said, "What? How can you compare with me? Just with your No. 36 stone? If you really think so, then I really have to laugh at you. "
Casey smiled without saying a word. He did not respond to Benjamin.
When Abraham and Caleb saw Casey like this, they felt that Casey was pretending to be calm.
"Just let him pretend for a while. After our stone is cut open, he will know how ridiculous he is." Caleb snorted coldly.
Abraham glanced at Casey triumphantly and said, "Casey, this time I will definitely pay back all the shame you gave me last time. Just wait and see."
After a while, the staff moved the stones that needed to be cut to the table one by one.
Naturally, the number one stone of Benjamin was the first to be cut.
Benjamin's face was full of excitement. This was his first time to cut the stone. If this stone could really have good jade materials inside, he would become famous in one fell swoop. He would have his own place in Yutian County in the future.
"Mr. Leonardo, I will let you see how you fail." Benjamin gave Leonardo a sneer again.
Leonardo curled his lips and didn't care about what Benjamin said. He believed Casey, who had never let him down.
Soon, the staff put the No. 1 stone into the machine to be cut. As the blade fell, the No. 1 stone was also cut open.
Everyone held their breath, and did not dare to make any noises for fear that they would affect the staff.
After that, the cut surface of the No. 1 stone was exposed in front of everyone.
Benjamin originally intended to express his excitement with cheers. But when he saw there was nothing inside, his excitement was suddenly gone.
There was only a little green at the edge of the whole front here. The rest was yellow ordinary stone.
Everyone present was shocked. Everyone thought that there were good jade materials inside. But the result was like this.
The smiling faces of Abraham and Caleb also froze in an instant. Both of them couldn't believe it. Looking at the stone, Abraham even wanted to rush to check if the staff took the wrong stone.
"It's impossible!" Abraham exclaimed, "How could this be the case in this stone? It should have good jade materials in it. It is impossible to have nothing."
"Master...Master, did you see it wrong?" Caleb's voice trembled.
Seeing this scene, Leonardo laughed immediately, and cast an admiring look at Casey.
