Here is the translation of the provided Chinese text:
Each rough stone stall here had two cutting machines.
Two staff members stepped forward. After Chen Fan and Cao Peiqin marked their cutting lines, both of their rough stones were placed on the cutting machines.
The covers of the cutting machines were closed, and the two staff members started them almost simultaneously.
The roar of the cutting machines filled the air.
"Manager Shen, Master Cao, congratulations to both of you. You've already earned so much money in this first gamble," several owners of small jewelry companies began to congratulate Shen Xinjie and Cao Peiqin.
Shen Xinjie and Cao Peiqin exchanged glances, a smile appearing in their eyes.
They hadn't expected to win five hundred million in their first gamble today. With this, they would be able to secure at least another twenty percent of the jade rough stones in the afternoon's sealed bid auction!
The rough stone Cao Peiqin chose was smaller than Chen Fan's, so it was cut first.
For a moment, almost all eyes in the venue were fixed on the cutting machine, waiting for the staff to open the cover.
The cover was opened, and the staff member lifted the cutting wheel of the machine. The cut surface of the stone was immediately revealed.
"My goodness, glutinous ice with floating flowers, and parts of it have reached ice jade quality!"
Those with sharp eyes exclaimed in shock.
The staff member took a rag and wiped away all the mist from the cut surface. Now, everyone could see more clearly, and almost everyone was dumbfounded.
"Glutinous ice with floating flowers, almost no cracks, and parts of it have reached ice jade quality. Just this one cut surface is worth five million!"
"If they make another cut on the other side, this value will likely break ten million."
"Manager Shen, Master Cao, congratulations! This is truly a great start!"
"Indeed, cutting such a top-quality piece with the first rough stone. It seems Fuding Jewelry will definitely be the biggest winner of the stone gambling大会 again."
Exclamations rose one after another from the side, and many people were already flattering Shen Xinjie and Cao Peiqin.
At this moment, Chen Fan's rough stone had also been cut.
However, no one paid attention to Chen Fan's rough stone. In their opinion, there was no need to. After all, they believed Chen Fan was destined to lose.
The staff member opened the cover and lifted the cutting wheel, then simply wiped the surface of the cut.
"Holy crap!" However, at this moment, the staff member couldn't help but exclaim.
The sudden sound startled many people, and they glared at the staff member, "What are you yelling about?! Believe it or not, I'll report you!"
The staff member, his face full of shock, pointed at Chen Fan's rough stone. "It, it cut out green!"
"What? You're saying that kid's rough stone also cut out jade?" a middle-aged man asked.
The staff member nodded frantically.
"Even if it cut out jade, so what? Can it possibly compare to the jade Master Cao cut?"
"At most, it's a bean-grade jade. A piece like that would be worth at most a few hundred thousand, not even a fraction of Master Cao's jade!"
Many people sneered.
Zhou Huiren and the others had already lowered their heads, looking helpless. They were too embarrassed to look at the rough stone Chen Fan had chosen, as they also believed Chen Fan had no chance of winning.
"Manager Zhou. When will you pay the five hundred million for your Ruixiang Jewelry?" Shen Xinjie and Cao Peiqin turned their attention to Chen Fan and Zhou Huiren.
"You're so eager for me to pay before even looking at my rough stone. Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face later?" Chen Fan retorted.
Shen Xinjie burst into laughter. "Hahaha, kid, I just heard it's some kind of bean-grade jade. Do you think your jade is qualified to be compared to the glutinous ice Master Cao cut?"
"What this gentleman cut, no, it's not bean-grade," the staff member's voice sounded again at this moment.
"Not bean-grade?" Everyone was stunned and looked at the cut surface of Chen Fan's rough stone with confusion.
When they saw the vibrant green cut surface, everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost, their jaws almost dropping to the floor.
"This, this is ice jade, ice jade with bright green color?!" a middle-aged man seemed unable to believe his eyes.
"Parts of it probably reached imperial green, and it could even be made into a ring stone!"
"Heavens, how is this possible? Ice jade with bright green, am I dreaming!"
Almost everyone was dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.
Hearing the gasps and discussions from the surroundings, Zhou Huiren and the others, who had been looking down, slowly raised their heads.
But when they saw the cut surface of Chen Fan's rough stone, their expressions were no less exaggerated than the onlookers. Their eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
"Ice jade with bright green color, such a large cut surface is worth at least ten million. Manager Zhou, it seems we've won," Zhao Zhihong said, swallowing and looking at Zhou Huiren.
"This, how is this possible!" Shen Xinjie and Cao Peiqin exclaimed simultaneously.
They had also seen the cut surface of Chen Fan's rough stone at this moment.
They even stepped forward a few paces, holding a rag to carefully wipe away the water mist from the cut surface, as if trying to find tiny cracks on Chen Fan's stone.
But the result was that there was a color band crack, not a single small crack. This rough stone was practically perfect.
Shen Xinjie's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Cao Peiqin clutched his chest, his face equally grim, his breathing even appearing somewhat rapid.
They both knew that glutinous ice jade with floating green was in no way comparable to ice jade with bright green. They had lost!
"We won, we won," Zhou Huiren finally came to his senses and exclaimed in disbelief.
Then, Zhou Huiren looked triumphantly at Shen Xinjie. "Manager Shen, now I have to ask you, when are you giving us that five hundred million?"
Shen Xinjie glared at Zhou Huiren furiously, his expression worse than if he had eaten ten pounds of rat droppings.
He never imagined he would lose to a mere youngster! This was practically slapping the face of his Fuding Jewelry in public!
However, at the gambling大会, he, Shen Xinjie, could not renege on his bet.
He could only angrily write out a check for five hundred million and throw it to Zhou Huiren.
"Manager Shen is truly generous," Zhou Huiren said with a triumphant smile.
But such praise sounded incredibly grating to Shen Xinjie.
Cao Peiqin, clutching his aching chest, looked at Chen Fan and asked, "How exactly did you choose it?"
Chen Fan replied with a calm smile, "I said, my luck has always been very good. Luck is something you can't learn."
At this moment, Zhou Huiren's phone rang again.
Glancing at the caller ID, Zhou Huiren quickly stepped aside to answer the call.
Before Zhou Huiren could even report the good news, Qin Xiaotong's furious voice came from the phone: "You are all useless! How could you let Chen Fan win!"
"In the next round, I will make Chen Fan lose, and he will lose all ten billion!"
Qin Xiaotong's final words were almost a roar.
