"No, keep solving it!" Qi Yu frowned slightly, a serious look on her face. She was obviously very confident in her eyesight, and seven thousand yuan was not attractive to her at all.

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said to the boss: "Go ahead, we don't need this little money." Fang Zhicheng said this, but he felt a little distressed, after all, he paid 20,000 yuan. However, in order to make Qi Yu happy and for the 4 billion project of Qi Group, he also fought hard.

Seeing Fang Zhicheng standing on her side, Qi Yu turned to Fang Zhicheng and smiled, saying, "If it comes out green, we'll split it in half."

Fang Zhicheng was not very interested. He pointed to the middle of the stone and told the boss, "Just cut it in the middle to avoid any more trouble."

The boss was slightly startled, shook his head, and then cut it.

"Sigh..."

The room was filled with the sound of people sucking in their breaths, especially Lao Hu's eyes, which were as big as copper bells. He pointed at the stone excitedly and hummed, but he couldn't say a word...

The middle-aged man's eyes glowed red as he spoke word by word, "Glass-type Imperial Green. Damn it, how can it be glass-type? How can it be Imperial Green?"

Jadeite types are generally divided into glass, ice, glutinous, hibiscus, horse tooth, and bean types, among which glass is the best. Fang Zhicheng looked at the split of the rough material and saw that it was extremely transparent, like crystal glass, with smooth and agile water. Even though Fang Zhicheng was an outsider, he couldn't help but admire it:

—It’s so damn beautiful!

The boss was also stunned and sighed, "I have been working on rough stones for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen a top-quality imperial green."

“I… I… won’t sell it anymore!” Old Hu reached out to his wallet tremblingly. How could he accept this result? The rough stone he sold for 20,000 yuan turned out to be a glass-type imperial green.

When the boss saw Lao Hu rushing over, he stretched out his hand to stop him, pushed him aside, and said coldly: "Lao Hu, don't make trouble. You have already sold this rough stone."

Old Hu fell to the ground, beating his chest and stamping his feet, and burst into tears.

The thrill of gambling on stones is this kind of excitement, but it has caused many people to become mentally abnormal. This is what happened to Old Hu now. With so many mixed feelings, he is actually in a state of confusion.

Qi Yu sighed, took out a small bottle of ointment from her bag, and put it next to Lao Hu's nose, letting him sniff it. Lao Hu shuddered, and finally regained his senses. He stared blankly at the other people, shook his head, and walked out of the jade shop in embarrassment.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "My two friends, how about selling this rough stone to me for 8 million?"

The lady boss laughed and said, "You are too wicked. You want to buy such a big top-grade imperial green jade for only 8 million? Girl, leave me your contact information and I will find a good seller for you tomorrow. I can guarantee a price of more than 20 million."

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed fiercely, and he gritted his teeth fiercely. Suddenly, a knife appeared in his hand. He pointed at Fang Zhicheng and others and said angrily: "Don't move. This jade is mine. No one can take it away."

Both the proprietress and the boss were frightened and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Fang Zhicheng subconsciously stopped Qi Yu behind him, frowned, and looked around, trying to find something handy to fight with the middle-aged man.

However, the middle-aged man was more flexible than expected, probably a martial artist. He twisted his body and came to Fang Zhicheng's side, reaching out to grab the jadeite. Fang Zhicheng kicked him, but missed. Seeing the knife swiping towards Qi Yu, he shifted his center of gravity and blocked the direction of the knife with his arm, leaving a big cut on his arm.

"Puff..."

Just as the middle-aged man was about to stab Fang Zhicheng in the abdomen with his backhand, he suddenly felt a heavy blow on the back of his head.

It was a tall man in a black suit who stood behind the middle-aged man and quickly hit him on the back of the head with a knife, knocking him unconscious.

"I'm sorry, miss. I'm late." The tall man said in Cantonese.

Qi Yu waved her hand, looked at Fang Zhicheng with a worried look, sighed, and said, "Don't talk about this, put the raw stone away, and send him to the hospital now."

Fang Zhicheng endured the severe pain in his arm, his face pale, and smiled: "It is more important to protect the raw stone first."

Qi Yu chuckled and sighed, "He is such a money-grubber. He is willing to sacrifice his life for this rough stone."

Fang Zhicheng snorted and said, "My life is not as valuable as this thing."

The tall bodyguard dragged the middle-aged man out of the door. Qi Yu took off a bracelet from her wrist, and said goodbye to the boss and the boss's wife, "This is the red money for cutting the stone. It should be enough."

After Qi Yu, Fang Zhicheng and others left, the proprietress took the bracelet, held it under the light, and pulled the boss, saying, "Honey, what kind of stone is on this bracelet?"

The boss took out a magnifying glass, studied it carefully, and whispered, "It should be a ruby, with a very high purity. It's so big, it must be worth hundreds of thousands. The girl just now is not a simple person, and the middle-aged man is really obsessed with money..."

The lady boss sighed and said, "If I were him, I would probably take the risk to rob it. After all, it's a raw stone worth tens of millions..."

The boss shook his head and whispered, "In our line of work, you must not be greedy, otherwise, there will be endless troubles."

"Although the girl and boy got a piece of top-quality imperial green, they encountered a bloody disaster after all." The proprietress played with the bracelet, put it on her hand, and smiled slightly, "And we only opened the rough stone and got such a precious gift. In fact, we are the biggest winners."

Chapter 0195: Net worth soars by 30 million

Fang Zhicheng was bandaged in the hospital. Qi Yu came in with a set of clean clothes and handed them to Fang Zhicheng to change into. She said, "The man was sent away. He promised not to disclose what happened tonight."

Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and sighed, "It's better to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing. After all, wealth cannot be exposed. It's not a bad thing to communicate well with him and ask him not to spread it to the outside world."

Qi Yu smiled, stared at Fang Zhicheng for a few seconds, and said, "Tonight, we will split this jadeite stone in half, but it will take some time before I can give you the money."

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said indifferently: "You can do whatever you want. The original stone is yours."

Fang Zhicheng had clear eyes and a calm expression from beginning to end. Qi Yu secretly praised him. She didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to have no greed at all. After all, the price of this raw stone was not cheap. Although she didn't know how big it was, at least the price of the raw stone alone would not be less than 40 million. If it was processed later, it would most likely be sold at a sky-high price.

Qi Yu nodded, thought for a moment, took out a notebook from her bag, and wrote an IOU on it, "I owe Fang Zhicheng half a piece of jadeite rough stone, with an initial estimated value of RMB 30 million. I will repay it before December 31, 2005. This is to certify that - Qi Yu."

Fang Zhicheng wanted to refuse, but then he thought that Qi Yu had written the IOU so solemnly, and it would be bad if he refused, so he took it and said with a smile: "In fact, I was able to buy this jadeite rough stone today entirely because of your vision. You just need to return my principal."

Qi Yu shook her head and smiled sweetly: "You were seriously injured for this rough stone. If I don't compensate you, it would make me look stingy."
