There’s Jadeite in Here
Hearing that, Elise suddenly lost all interest. “Mr. Griffith, I’m getting dizzy from looking at so many
stones.”
“You have to be calm when picking out stones, and never be impulsive. If you really want to understand
stone gambling, you’ll have to learn to keep your patience in check,” Alexander said.
Looking as though she understood what he said, Elise answered, “Alright, Mr. Griffith. I got it.”
After making another round, Alexander suddenly came to a stop, his eyes fixed on a very huge stone.
Seeing that, Elise asked anxiously, “Mr. Griffith, do you have your eyes on this stone?”
Instead of answering her, he walked closer and studied the stone carefully. “This stone is not bad.”
Right after the words left his lips, Jordan walked over. “You have sharp eyes, Mr. Griffith. This is the
best stone from its batch.”
Raising his brow slightly, Alexander ordered, “Tell me the price.”
The smile on Jordan’s face widened. “Are you thinking of buying it, Mr. Griffith?”
“Yeah, it’s a good piece of stone. If the price is alright, I’ll buy it.”
“It’s a good piece of stone, indeed, but the price is on the high end. If you’re really sincere about buying
it, I’ll sell it to you for this much,” he said anxiously and opened up his palm to show Alexander the
figure five.
Confused, Elise asked, “5 million?”
Jordan chuckled. “It’s 50 million.”
Stunned, Elise thought, He’s asking for 50 million for a regular stone? That’s way too much! What if it
turns out to be a useless stone after cutting? We will make a huge loss, then! “Mr. Griffith, you really
plan to buy it?”
Instead of answering her, he turned to her and asked, “What do you think, Miss Sare?”
This question placed her in a tight spot, but she believed that Alexander must have his own ideas.
Hence, she answered, “Mr. Griffith, any decision you make is fine.”
An attractive grin spread across Alexander’s face at her reply, and he said to Jordan, “I’m buying this
stone.”
Delighted, Jordan said, “Mr. Griffith, you really have a keen eye. This is really a good piece of stone,
and you won’t make a loss with it for sure!”
Taking out a black card from his pocket, Alexander said, “I’ll pay by card.”
Hurriedly, Jordan sent his employee to make the card payment and immediately asked, “Mr. Griffith,
would you like to have your stone cut right now?”
“Yes. Get your best craftsman here to do it.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Griffith. I’ll make the arrangements for you right away,” Jordan replied.
The news that a stone was sold for 50 million created a huge uproar in an instant, and everyone was
curious as to who bought a stone for that price. After asking around and finding out that the person was
Alexander, they didn’t find it such a surprise anymore because everyone knew just how wealthy the
Griffith Group was.
Despite that, they were still curious what sort of jadeite was inside this stone, which was worth 50
million. Hence, when they knew that Alexander was planning to cut the stone on the spot, they all
gathered around and wanted to see for themselves.
“Mr. Griffith, how would you like to cut this stone?” the craftsman asked.
Taking a look at the stone, Alexander replied, “Start from one third of its width.”
The craftsman nodded. “Okay. I’m going to start, then.”
With the help of a few people, the stone was placed on the cutter with all eyes focused on it.
Meanwhile, Elise waited while holding her breath, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her shirt on both
sides.
While the machine was working, she didn’t even dare to blink her eyes as she kept staring at the stone,
worried that she might miss a thing.
The entire process of cutting a stone was a lengthy one, and every step was especially important.
Suddenly, someone from the crowd cried out, “There’s green! There’s jadeite…”
Hearing that, Elise couldn’t help but feel happy. However, the green surface was only as wide as a
finger, and it made everyone a little disappointed because it was a very small green surface for a stone
this huge. Even though the color looked good, it was considered a massive loss as the stone was
bought for 50 million.
“Be patient. Only a small part is cut, and not even one third of the stone is cut through yet. Maybe
there’ll be more green later.”
“The surface of this stone looks good. I think it has more green than this, so there’s probably still hope.”
As the onlookers speculated amongst themselves, Elise felt that her heart had already leaped to her
throat; never in her life had she been this nervous before. On the other hand, Alexander appeared calm
and composed the entire time without any emotions on his face.
“Mr. Griffith, you’re just way too calm,” Elise pointed out, feeling a little envious of his composure.
“Yeah, I’m alright,” he said flatly.
Pursing her lips, Elise thought, Looks like I really need to learn to be composed and calm. The person
who spent 50 million is so relaxed, so why am I so nervous when it wasn’t my money spent?
After thinking it through, she relaxed quite a lot and wasn’t as nervous as before. Still, her eyes were
glued to the stone. As the craftsman cut deeper and deeper, the cut soon reached one third of the
stone, but there was no more jadeite. Even the craftsman’s hands were clammy; this was a prized
stone from his employer’s store, and he was worried that the reputation of the store would be affected if
there was no jadeite in this stone.
“Hang on.”
Just then, Alexander suddenly called for him to stop, whereupon the craftsman paused immediately,
asking, “Mr. Griffith, do you have any instructions?”
After taking a look, he answered, “Cut it right in the middle.”
His instructions shocked the craftsman. “Mr. Griffith, it’s very risky to cut it in the middle. If—”
Before he could finish, Alexander interrupted him, “It’s alright. Just cut it in half.”
Seeing how determined he was, the craftsman couldn’t say anything else and returned to the machine
before asking some men to change the position of the stone until the cutting edge was right in the
middle. After making sure the edge was on the middle spot, he began to cut it slowly.
Even the crowd was stunned that such a huge stone was going to be cut in the middle. What would
happen if the jadeite in it was destroyed?
And so, after the cut in the middle, a complete stone was sliced into half, but both parts had no signs of
green. Disappointment washed over the crowd, and even Elise was stunned, thinking, So, he lost 50
million?
“I didn’t expect that a stone with such an astronomical price only has jadeite the size of a finger. Looks
like Mr. Jordan’s goods aren’t worthy at all.”
“I was even thinking of buying a stone from him, but from the looks of it, there’s a high chance I’ll lose
my money.”
“Don’t buy any for now. This batch of stones must be bad. Let’s browse a little more…”
Listening to their conversations, Elise peered at Alexander with a worried expression. When she was
about to say something, Alexander said to the craftsman, “Take a look at the left edge. What’s that?”
At his reminder, only then did the craftsman notice that there was a little shade of red on the left edge.
Reaching out his finger, he felt the edge and cried out in surprise, “Hurry, continue to cut it. There’s
jadeite in here!”
