The sound of the grinding wheel polishing the rough stone is still very harsh and almost unbearable. Now, however, no one minded the unpleasant sound anymore, and as the crystalline jadeite was gradually revealed, everyone expected that the harsh sound would be faster and more intense.

Almost all the onlookers had envious and greedy eyes in their eyes, staring at the piece of rough stone under Uncle Relo. The jadeite, which was half the size of a basketball, was already revealed. And this, however, was only one of the divisions. Looking at the direction of the jadeite, there seemed to be more jadeite among the remaining uncut majority of the rough stone!

Apart from the onlookers, Trupay and Billy were the most surprised. However, their faces were very different.

Trupay looked meaningfully at Wendell who had a faint smile on his face. She suddenly remembered that when she first saw such a large piece of jadeite, she seemed too excited to contain herself, but this young man in front of her looked very calm. Although Wendell's face wore the same look of excitement, Trupay had a vague feeling that this expression of his seemed to be faked.

In other words, it seemed that Wendell was not really surprised that he had bought such a large piece of jade!

Did he already know about this situation, or did he himself simply not see this amount of money in his eyes? Or, was it that he was so used to seeing the storm that this bit of excitement could not excite him at all? Trupay was at a loss to understand.

However, Trupay knew that she was very excited.

Nowadays, business is not too great in the jewellery and jadeite business, the competition is certainly one of the reasons, but the tight supply of greats is also crucial.

For example, in Trupay's company, apart from those one or pieces of treasures in the shop, there are no extremely fine jadeite at all, most of them are some violet or more inferior jadeite carved into objects, which is not very attractive to those rich people at all.

Especially in recent times, the supply of greats for Bell Milla Jewellery Company was extremely tight, the jadeite was almost running out, while other jewellery was in sufficient supply, however, with more and more people attaching themselves to it in the past few years, the sales of jadeite and jade were obviously in demand, and this side was about to run out of stock.

It was precisely for this reason that Trupay came to this jadeite and jade fair in person, just to buy enough raw materials to ease the company's crisis.

However, when she arrived at the fair, she realised that there were too many jade merchants coming to the fair, from all over the country, and some of them were big companies with great strength.

Therefore, it had been almost a while since Trupay arrived at the fair, and she had not even bought a single jadeite yet.

If she hadn't accidentally met Wendell, Trupay would have participated in the gambling herself, which is why she brought Uncle Relo along to the fair.

But now it looked as if there was no need to worry about any of this.

The piece of rough stone that Wendell had purchased had risen in gambling, and it was a big one at that!

Just from the size of the jadeite that was now exposed, this piece of jadeite was the size of a basketball, and the jadeite was of such great quality that it would be enough to top the company for a while if it was bought over.

"This young man, what a surprise!" Trupay looked at Wendell who was not far away and couldn't help but murmur.

In stark contrast to Trupay's performance was Billy, who was limp beside another stone solver, and the sisters, Mima and Louisiana, who were beside him.

The three looked at Wendell dumbfounded, with a strong sense of resentment welling up in their hearts. Billy, in particular, was red in the face, as if he was being strangled, with veins rising high on his forehead.

"D_mned little B_____d, with just a million or so on him, he deliberately bid against me, only to make me pay over six million for a scrap of stone!"

The loss of more than six million dollars made Billy almost red-eyed, and if not for the presence of so many people, Billy would have had the heart to eat Wendell alive.

The sisters, Louisiana and Mima, on the other hand, were filled with a strong jealousy in their hearts. How could Billy not be able to solve the jadeite, but this poor boy could solve such a large piece of jadeite?

In fact, Louisiana and Mima did not know how much the jadeite that Wendell had solved was worth.

Gulp!

The sound of swallowing saliva was so obvious that everyone stared dumbfounded at the jadeite that was getting bigger and bigger in Uncle Relo's hand, a look of both excitement and greed in their eyes.

"Ice jadeite, it's ice jadeite!" A merchant murmured, full of surprise, "Such a large piece of ice jadeite, but it's so rare!"

Ice jade?

Wendell was immediately stunned, he had never heard that there was such a thing as ice jade.

"Didn't you say that the best jadeite is gla_s jadeite, followed by ice jadeite? How come there is still ice jade?" Wendell was a bit puzzled, he wanted to ask Uncle Relo, but seeing that he was busy, he dismissed the idea, it was better to wait until he was done.

As the last sound of friction fell, the emerald in Uncle Relo's hand finally revealed its true face.

It was as big as basketballs and somewhat irregular in shape, but this did not hinder its beauty and high value in any way.

"What a piece of ice-grown jadeite!"

Uncle Relo wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, his face full of awe, "The old man has been in the jadeite business for most of his life, but it's the first time I've personally solved such a large jadeite, and it's still an ice jadeite!"

He was not the only one, the others were also in awe, it was basketballs big!

Uncle Relo immediately commanded the staff to weigh it, more than eighty-three pounds!

Everyone's eyes went straight, staring at the jadeite with a greedy look in their eyes that they couldn't hide.

"Wendell, your kid's luck is unspeakable, it's really…… tsk tsk!" Wendell just walked over, Uncle Relo couldn't help but laugh, perhaps because he was too excited, he looked very close to Wendell when he spoke.

Wendell smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Relo, this is not my great luck, the one who solved the stone is you, so to say luck, it's also your great luck."

Uncle Relo pointed at him with a smile and said, "Wendell, this jadeite is an ice jadeite, and looking at its quality, it's not too far from a water jadeite, and it's such a large size, in this situation now, it's enough to be called an extremely fine jadeite!"

Wendell did not have time to speak, a boss in the crowd suddenly shouted: "This little brother, you this piece of jadeite for sale, let Uncle Relo help estimate a price, I buy it!"

"Old He, you're buying by force, it's up to this little brother to decide who to sell it to!" A boss said with a smile, "Little brother, I'll add 10% to Uncle Relo's estimate, sell it to me?"

The others immediately followed suit and yelled, such a large piece of jadeite was enough to guarantee a small company's supply of greats for half a year without any problems, and it was also ice jadeite, so it was naturally even more attractive.

Uncle Relo looked at Wendell and smiled, "You make the decision!"

With a faint smile on his face, Wendell said aloud, "Sorry everyone, this piece of jadeite has already been reserved."

The others were instantly disappointed, but there was someone else who was unwilling and said, "Little brother, this jadeite is so big, I'm afraid it's hard for one person to swallow it, how about this, why don't you discuss with that person who has reserved it, can you share some with me?"

"Yes, yes!" The others immediately followed and echoed.

Wendell turned his head to look at Trupay and smiled, "Chief Elam, this matter will be up to you to decide."

"It's General Manager Elam?"

The others' gazes also shifted to Trupay, and once they saw it was her, they were stunned. Especially the local businessmen in Granola had a helpless look on their faces.

With Trupay's presence, I was afraid that I would have no chance with this piece of jade.

Because many people knew that Trupay's origin was not small, and the company's background was also very powerful. In this situation where there were too many monks and too little meat, it would not be so wise to insist on competing with the Bell Milla Jewellery Company.

After all, those foreign businessmen might leave at any time, while they, the locals, were the ones who had to stay here, because the company was here, and it would not be worth it if there was a conflict with Bell Milla Jewellery Company.

"So it was Mr. Elam who settled on this piece of jade, Mr. Elam really has a great eye." What businessmen like most is to see the wind and make the rudder, a businessman had already decisively given up the competition for the jadeite and instead turned his head to pull a relationship with Trupay.

Trupay had an elegant smile on her pretty face and her red lips were lightly parted, "Boss, he is overpraised."

Wendell smiled, "Mr. Elam, as agreed before, this piece of jade will be sold to you."

Trupay nodded with a smile and looked at Uncle Relo, saying softly, "Uncle Relo, please give an estimate."

Uncle Relo mused, "This jadeite of Wendell's is a top quality ice jadeite, and it is large, so apart from being carved into small objects, it can also be carved into some rare large objects, so in terms of this price, it fluctuates quite a lot. However, excluding the carving work and other costs, if we just talk about the price of the jadeite, I think it should be between forty-five and fifty million dollars!"

"Hiss~~~!"

As soon as Uncle Relo's words were spoken, the Louisiana sisters instantly sucked in a breath of cold air, so expensive?!

Louisiana's face even revealed a look of disbelief as she subconsciously lost her voice, "How is this possible, a poor boy, how can he turn into a multi-millionaire in the blink of an eye? A piece of jadeite, how can it be so valuable?!"

Trupay looked at Wendell and asked, "Mr. Silva, what do you think of this price?"

Wendell, however, was very quick and nodded: "If Uncle Relo says this price, then that's the price."

"Speaking of which, I'm still taking advantage of it." Trupay laughed lightly.

Wendell just shook his head and smiled: "That's very kind of you, Mr. Elam, if it wasn't for the million or so that Mr. Elam lent me, I wouldn't have been able to buy the rough stone, much less get this jadeite!"

"Wendell, you're a great kid, not greedy and atmospheric!" Uncle Relo exclaimed.

Watching Trupay order people to load the jadeite onto the car, all the merchants secretly said in their hearts that it was a pity that such a great opportunity had been missed.

Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that the best jadeite at this trade fair has just been bought away.

And one word came to the minds of the sisters, Louisiana: "Sky-high price!"
