Chapter 156 Praying to God, Crazy Stone!
Chapter 156 Praying to God, Crazy Stone!
Sizzle--
Buzz buzz buzz——
Smoke and dust rose up, and the gears of the cutting machine kept rubbing against the stones violently, making bursts of extremely harsh and unpleasant sounds.
But there was no trace of impatience on the faces of the people around. On the contrary, they all opened their eyes wide and watched intently, afraid of missing anything.
Qin Han and Li Zhishan stood far away and also looked at the stage.
"Why don't you go to the front and look? Weren't you in a hurry to grab a seat just now?"
"Hehe~ I didn't expect that there would be so much smoke and dust when this big rock was opened."
Li Zhishan wrinkled her nose. She had watched others cut stones twice before in Jade Street. The stones were not big, and there was not much smoke and dust when they were cut. They were cut in a short while.
Unlike this piece...
I've been cutting for more than ten minutes and it's still not cut open!
Li Zhishan was a little uninterested and asked in a tender voice, "How long will it take? I just heard them say that if we want to get rid of such a big stone, it will take at least two or three days? Is that true?"
"Girl, this stone cutting is a science. It looks simple, just use a cutting machine to cut it, but it's not at all."
At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly next to him spoke up. It was not someone else, but the Jin Laonan he had met before.
Qin Han and Li Zhishan were watching stone cutting here and happened to run into him.
This guy is quite outgoing. He came up to me and said hello. Are you here to see the stone being cut too?
Qin Han nodded and said yes.
Afterwards, Jin Laonan also stood next to Qin Han and the others. This was a square and anyone could stand wherever they wanted.
It was naturally difficult for Qin and Han to chase people away.
After a pause,
Jin Laonan added: "First, rub the python, second, rub the withered, third, rub the ringworm, fourth, rub the pine flowers. There is a sequence for breaking the stone, you have to be careful and don't be reckless.
For example, if you use a cutting machine to cut it in half, it is fast, but if there is jadeite inside, the jade will be cut and destroyed.
Something that may be worth 1000 million can directly become 100 million.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! "
finished,
Jin Laonan looked at Li Zhishan smugly. Li Zhishan curled her beautiful red lips, not even looking at him. She hugged Qin Han's arm and said in a tender voice, "Dear, how long will it take?"
"This is pretty quick. I estimate it will be almost done in half an hour."
Qin Han said casually.
Not long after they arrived at the square, a forklift came over with the big stone that won the bid and put it back on the original platform.
Also accompanying them was a group of office ladies in suits and uniforms.
There were men and women, about twenty people in total.
The group of people centered around two people and followed behind them.
One of them had a graceful figure, elegant temperament, and a beautiful face, and was extremely beautiful.
She had a faint smile on her face and always held her head high when she walked. Her posture was like that of a light white swan, elegant and noble.
It’s Feng Qianhua.
Next to her was a middle-aged man in his forties.
He had a slicked-back hair and was wearing a white shirt and dark blue casual pants. He had an upright figure and was neither fat nor thin.
As he walked, he smiled and said something to Feng Qianhua beside him.
Lin Haotian!
Qin Han immediately guessed who this person was.
This Lin Haotian is younger than he thought. He thought that the person who is at the helm of a large company with a value of tens of billions of dollars should be at least in his fifties, right?
But how can Lin Haotian, with his slicked-back hair, look like he’s fifty years old?
It seems to be a second generation.
When the bulldozer lowered the big rock,
Immediately, three people came out from behind Lin Haotian, an old man and two middle-aged men. The three of them surrounded the big rock and looked around.
follow closely,
The old man took a black marker and started drawing on the stone. From the discussions around him, Qin Han knew that he was working on a plan for cutting the stone.
How to cut and where to start.
After drawing the line, Lin Haotian walked forward and looked around the big rock.
Feng Qianhua didn't move, but just stood there with her arms folded across her chest, looking slender and graceful. The people she brought followed behind her and watched the stone being cut.
At this time,
The rest of the Shengshi Group's people had already set up an incense table in front of the stone, on which were neatly placed various offerings, including fruits, cakes, and several plates of exquisite vegetarian food.
This scene made everyone around feel awe-inspiring and secretly smack their lips in amazement.
This big group is really particular about how it does things!
Ordinary people can only cut stones, so who can offer sacrifices to heaven and earth?
But when they thought about the fact that the big rock in front of them was bought by Shengshi Group for 5 million, they were relieved...
They spend so much money, so it’s not excessive to pay attention to it.
Let alone sacrifice, even slaughtering three animals for sacrifice on the spot is completely reasonable.
Lin Haotian washed his hands in the basin and slowly walked to the incense table with a solemn and dignified expression.
He first bowed deeply, then he picked up the incense on the table and lit it gently.
Amid the smoke of cigarettes, his eyes became deep and distant, and he stared quietly at the big rock in front of him for a long, long time...
It seemed that at this moment his eyes could see through the stone and were looking inside.
immediately,
He held the incense in both hands, raised it high, and bowed three times to the heaven and earth and to the big rock in front of him.
The incense was gently inserted into the incense burner, and the smoke continued to rise.
Intertwined with the green smoke in the air, it seemed to convey his prayers to the heaven and earth, and also to the big rock in front of him.
Qin Han in the audience watched this scene.
It was quite funny. What Lin Haotian did was actually of no use to him!
The stone collapsed in his hands!
However, it was later raised in the hands of others...
Soaring!
Huge increase!!
What a huge irony!!
No wonder Lin Haotian fainted from anger later...
After burning incense,
A pious and peaceful smile appeared on Lin Haotian's face, as if at this moment, he had established a subtle connection between heaven and earth and felt some indescribable strength and comfort.
He bowed to the incense table again, looked at the big stone with a sharp gaze, gathered his energy into his dantian, and waved his hand.
"cut!!"
……
When Qin Han and Li Zhishan were watching from below,
After Lin Haotian on the stage gave the order to start cutting the stone, he stepped aside and watched, "Qianhua, I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about this rough material."
Feng Qianhua's eyes were fixed on the rough stone being cut in the distance. She didn't look at Lin Haotian, but a smile was on her face. "What if I look at it? It's still going to be snatched away, right?"
"Haha, this can't be considered robbery."
Lin Haotian laughed and said, "In an auction, of course the one with the highest bid wins! Actually, you can't blame me for this. I told you that we could work together and split the profits 50-50 afterwards. How great is that? But you just didn't want to."
"I am a coward and I dare not seek the skin of a tiger."
"Hey! Are you praising me or insulting me?"
"That depends on what you think."
"Haha, then I'll take it as a compliment."
Lin Haotian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I may be a tiger to others, but I will never have bad intentions towards you, Qianhua! I am only sincere to you!"
"Haha~"
Feng Qianhua curled her red lips and smiled softly, "Boss Lin, I cannot accept your kindness. I am overwhelmed with fear."
"Hey, Qianhua, you don't mean it when you say that..."
"Boss Lin!!!"
Lin Haotian's words were interrupted, and at the same time the sound of the cutting machine stopped abruptly.
The first cut, cut it out.
"water!!"
The master craftsman invited by Lin Haotian said.
Everyone's mind was suddenly lifted up, and they couldn't help but take a half step forward, wanting to see more clearly. Lin Haotian didn't care about flirting with Feng Qianhua anymore, and strode towards the stone.
Feng Qianhua followed closely behind.
The reason why she didn't leave was that she wanted to see with her own eyes the quality of the winning bid that she missed.
Many people don’t know that she had actually heard of this rough stone a long time ago.
This time I participated in the Pingzhou public auction just for this reason.
back and forth,
She circled the stone no less than five hundred times.
Finally, she drew a large amount of funds from the company and planned to take a risk...
If the bet goes up, Fenghua Jewelry will further open up the high-end market, which will have an unimaginable impact on the company's future development.
But she didn't expect that Shengshi Group also set its sights on this stone, and wanted to use it to reverse public opinion and resolve internal and external crises...
She was no stranger to Lin Haotian.
The two have known each other for ten years, because Feng Qianhua knows him very well.
Regarding Lin Haotian's words that he would give the stone to him and then remember it as a favor and would repay him generously in the future.
Feng Qianhua was disdainful.
Why let it?
Since I also like this stone, of course I have to fight for it.
If I win it myself and bet on its price going up in the future, Fenghua Jewelry will move to a higher level. Will I still need Lin Haotian's favor then?
As for the cooperation that Lin Haotian mentioned...
Feng Qianhua was even more disdainful.
Never trust a man's mouth!
Never trust what people in business say!
You have to believe it, don't cry when you get cheated...
These two points are her two life creeds. Feng Qianhua would naturally not make such a mistake, so she chose to directly increase the price by 1500 million.
He wanted to prove his determination to win, and thus force Lin Haotian to retreat...
but,
Lin Haotian chose to fight back forcefully...
Feng Qianhua knew that things could not be done and he could not force it any longer.
Lin Haotian has already lost his temper. It would be unwise to continue arguing with him!
So Feng Qianhua chose to stop and give up!
But giving up is a decision made rationally, but psychologically she is still very unwilling to do so!
Not reconciled!
She put as much thought into this stone as Lin Haotian did.
But in the end, I didn’t get it.
Watching Lin Haotian worshipping,
Although Feng Qianhua looked calm on the surface, he was actually full of contempt in his heart and kept sneering.
"It's really funny. More than 5 million has been spent, and now you come to pray to the gods..."
"Since praying to gods and Buddhas is effective, why do you ask people to look at stones?"
'You have no confidence at all, you are inconsistent, you are always worried about gains and losses, and you are still the helmsman of a billion-dollar group. You are incompetent! ! '
When you hear the cutting sound, stop.
Feng Qianhua knew that part of the truth was about to be revealed. Although the smoke and dust had not completely dissipated, she could not care less at the moment and walked over.
……
wow-
Huh-huh-huh-
The water pipe was pulled over, and the water flowed over the cut of the stone, washing away all the white stone powder.
The people from Shengshi Group also used a brush to scrub back and forth, and soon the incision was completely renewed, revealing its full appearance.
"Ah this..."
"Not out?"
“It’s collapsed!! It’s collapsed!!”
The people who were close to the stage immediately started shouting, and their faces were all very interesting, showing disappointment, excitement, and a little bit of gloating.
"It's over. There's not a single bit of green on such a large cut surface. I don't know what's inside!"
"You can't say that. Look again, there's still such a big piece! It's normal that you can't cut it out with the first knife. Don't talk nonsense..."
"I think what Lao Liu said makes sense. I have lived for forty years and have only seen the situation where the price goes up after the first cut. The bigger the material, the harder it is to cut!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's take another look. Maybe we'll see green if we change direction..."
"Impossible! Look at how deep the cut was, and he cut from the place where the python belt is most concentrated. Logically speaking, if we go in from here, we can get a glimpse of the whole picture!"
"That's just theory. Theory is not equal to reality. Even gods can't tell the difference between an inch of jade. Don't you know that?"
……
The audience was talking about it.
When Lin Haotian on the stage saw the rough green stone inside the neat cut, his face turned ashen, almost the same color as the stone.
There is no green at all.
Even a little green on the nail would be fine, but there is none.
This is very discouraging!
What the person in the audience just said was right. The position of the cut was the best one, and the blade cut very deeply. According to common sense, you should see green.
But no.
"Mr. Lin..."
The vice president looked at Lin Haotian with some concern. Lin Haotian did not respond and turned to look at the old man, "Master Ma, let's change places."
"it is good!"
Master Ma walked around the stone three times, then walked to the other side, bent down, pointed at the middle of the stone, and then drew a line diagonally downwards.
"Wipe the surface first, starting from ten centimeters and within fifteen centimeters!"
Sizzle--
The cutting machine started up again, with stone chips flying and smoke billowing.
Lin Haotian stepped aside again and watched from afar. However, at this moment he had no intention of flirting with Feng Qianhua beside him anymore.
He stared at the stone without blinking.
He didn't say anything, and Feng Qianhua felt at ease. She didn't want to chat with Lin Haotian. Besides, she saw that the first knife failed to cut it, and there was no green at all.
Feng Qianhua was still a little disappointed!
After all, she had been very optimistic about this material before, and felt that the possibility of a price increase was very high!
The result is not out now?
Ugh……
In a blink of an eye,
Just fifteen minutes passed and the cutting machine stopped again.
Amid the smoke and dust, the person in charge of stone cutting at Shengshi Group quickly took a water pipe to flush the cut. Lin Haotian walked over quickly without waiting for anyone to call him.
"How's it going? Is it out? What's the water?"
Lin Haotian's voice arrived before he did, and it was filled with anxiety and urgency.
The cut surface of this knife is even larger, occupying almost one-third of the entire surface of the stone. If this knife is not cut...
The consequences would be disastrous!
"Speak up, is there anything wrong?"
"Boss Lin, it's out!"
"Ah! How much did it cost?"
"Come and see..."
