C14 Gambling
Everyone's eyes were focused on Master Huang Hao and Xu Qing. No one noticed that there was an unremarkable character among them, and that was Hee Chen!
When the three of them passed through the exhibition hall and arrived at the stage at the front, Huang Hao deliberately took half a step back to let Hee Chen take the lead. As a result, the guests all noticed this inconspicuous man.
"Who is this person? Why is Master Huang Hao half a step behind him?" Someone asked in surprise.
"Looking at his young appearance, could he be a disciple of a world-class master?" Many people guessed.
"But Master Huang Hao is also a world-class figure. No disciple is qualified to make him a foil!" The guests began to speculate about Hee Chen's background, but none of them had a correct answer.
Among the people who came to attend the meeting, one of them saw Hee Chen's figure and his expression changed drastically. He was the Young Master of Wanhao Commercial Group, Zhu Zhihao!
This man had been taught a lesson by Hee Chen in the fast food restaurant, and it was still fresh in his mind. When he looked at Hee Chen, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.
At this time, Huang Hao took a step forward on the stage and said to the guests below, "Everyone, please be quiet. The Treasure Inspection Conference will begin now."
Next was Xu Qing's series of speeches. All of them were in the official way and could be replaced with a few words.
"Other than Master Huang Hao, we have also specially invited a young world-class master to inspect the treasure. He is Hee Chen, Young Master He!" Xu Qing introduced.
At this time, Hee Chen finally appeared. Everyone knew his name, but not many people believed that he was actually a world-class master.
"Manager Xu, did you make a mistake? Is there such a young world-class master?" A hostage asked.
As soon as these words came out, many people echoed: "That's right, not everyone can be called a world-class master!"
Facing everyone's doubts, Huang Hao stood up and said, "Everyone, this is not the case. Manager Xu Qing casually sealed it. I have personally experienced Hee Chen's ability. His attainment in gemstones is far beyond our imagination. Hence, he is definitely worthy of being called a world-class title."
Even so, some people still did not believe it. They said, "Can we let this so-called Master Hee show his skills?"
This idea immediately aroused the interest of many people. They all wanted to see Hee Chen's strength, so they all suggested to let Hee Chen show his skills in front of everyone.
"Young Master He, are you willing to let everyone broaden their horizons?" Huang Hao asked.
Hee Chen thought for a moment, then took a step forward to the front of the stage. He said to the guests, "If I were to show it on my own, I would not be able to avoid the suspicion of showing off. It would be better to set a prize and have someone come to gamble with me. The winner will take the prize!"
Hee Chen's suggestion was quickly accepted by most people. They really did not want to see the boring talent exhibition. They wanted to see some exciting and exciting events.
"I still have a piece of jade here. It's a good prize!" Hee Chen took out the top quality jade he got the last time and gave it to Master Huang Hao.
"Do you really want to bet on this piece of jade?" Master Huang Hao asked. Huang Hao asked in surprise.
At that time, someone had offered millions of yuan to buy this piece of jade from Hee Chen. However, he had rejected all of them.
Now, Hee Chen was using this priceless jade as a bet. He was a bit worried!
"Of course, this piece of jade is only worth a little bit of money in my hands. It can still be put on the table!" Hee Chen nodded and said affirmatively.
"Alright." Huang Hao nodded. He raised the jade up high and said, "This jade is valued at five million. If anyone wants to bet, please prepare something of equal value."
Such an expensive bet immediately made many people shrink back. Those who came to participate in the treasure appraisal meeting were all rich people, but they were not stupid. No one dared to easily agree to this bet, and for a time, it was actually a little cold!
"If..." Xu Qing saw this and was just about to control the atmosphere and mediate the atmosphere, but she was interrupted midway.
"I'll bet with you!" In the exhibition hall, In the exhibition hall, a man suddenly stood up. He held a head-sized raw stone in his hands and slowly walked forward. He said to Hee Chen, "I'll bet with you. The bet is the raw stone in my hand!"
Huang Hao frowned and said, "Hee Chen's jade is worth five million yuan. If you want to bet with him, you must take out something of equal value. Not a raw stone that hasn't been cut yet. "
However, the young man holding the raw stone said, "Young Master He should know if this raw stone is worth five million yuan."
Huang Hao immediately turned to Hee Chen and asked for his opinion with his eyes.
At this time, Hee Chen glanced at the raw stone that had not been cut. After a moment, he nodded and said, "This raw stone is indeed worth five million yuan."
Huang Hao was surprised. He quickly took the raw stone from the young man and put it on the table to check it. At first, he thought that Hee Chen and the young man had gone blind, but the longer he looked, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this raw stone. Maybe it could really be sold for a sky-high price!
"Since both parties have agreed, let's start the bet!" Huang Hao announced.
The first round was obviously a competition of both sides' ability to appraise gemstones. Hence, Huang Hao found nine gemstones in the exhibition hall and used them to compete with their ability to appraise gemstones.
"I will be the judge for this round. All of you will write your evaluations on paper. The nine gemstones will be ranked in order. Whoever has a better and more thorough evaluation will be the winner!" Huang Hao said.
Hee Chen and the young man looked at each other. The two of them attacked at the same time. They wrote down their respective comments on the paper with a brush of ink.
Nine gemstones. The two of them had finished writing all the comments in less than half an hour.
Hee Chen and the young man handed the evaluations to Huang Hao one by one. Then, the two of them quietly waited for the results under the stage.
About half an hour later, Huang Hao finished reading all the evaluations. His face was full of shock. No one knew whose evaluation he was shocked by.
"In the first round of evaluation, both parties are equally matched. Both parties have their own evaluations of the gemstones, especially the precious gemstones. Their evaluation is even more thorough. I can't help but admire them!" Huang Hao praised.
"However, since it is a competition, there will be wins and losses. In this round, I personally think that Hee Chen will win!" Huang Hao said in the end.
The scene was filled with sighs. Many people thought that Huang Hao was going easy on Hee Chen, so he deliberately let Hee Chen win the first round.
At this moment, Huang Hao spoke again. "Everyone, please be quiet. I personally follow the principle of fairness and justice. I absolutely did not protect any side. Winning is winning, losing is losing. In the first round of the gemstone evaluation, Hee Chen is indeed slightly better!"
Huang Hao was a world-class master, and he possessed numerous fans and formidable reputations. Thus, when he solemnly announced the results, many people still accepted it safely.
"The second round is about sculpting ability. As a world-class master, he must possess superb sculpting skills and unique carving ability. Only by combining these two methods can he become a real master!" Huang Hao announced.
However, after Huang Hao announced the second round of the competition, the young man suddenly said, "I want to give up! Carving is not my forte!"
This young man knew his strength very well. He decisively gave up on the sculpting competition that he was not good at.
Such a result made many people feel that it was a pity that they were unable to see a brilliant carving competition.
"Although some people have given up and the winner of the second round has been decided, Hee Chen plans to show everyone a hand, so the third round can only be postponed!" Huang Hao explained.
After that, someone brought over a fist-sized blue field jade and a set of carving tools. There was everything, everything!
"Hee Chen, due to the time limit, you must finish it within an hour. Otherwise, you will fail." Huang Hao said.
Hee Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, just one incense stick of time will do."
After saying that, Hee Chen took out his carving knife and started carving on the blue jade at an astonishing speed. Sometimes it was soft and sometimes it was hard. The small blue jade had undergone a qualitative change under Hee Chen's carving.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the blue jade in Hee Chen's hand became vivid and lifelike. While carving, he explained, "This pendant is called the Nine Falcons Qi Fei!"
The pendant in Hee Chen's hand had nine eagles spreading their wings to fly. Each of them raised their proud heads, yearning for freedom in the sky!
Huang Hao came to Hee Chen's side and quietly watched him perfect the nine eagles' flying jade pendant. Even the young man who was his opponent praised him generously, "This guy is really a genius. Not only can he appraise treasures, he can also sculpt with his own hands. He can be said to be an omnipotent existence!"
After waiting for a while, Hee Chen perfected all the details of the pendant. It was simply natural. He handed the carved jade pendant to Huang Hao and let the latter pass it to the guests below to enjoy!
"This... This... The nine eagles flew in unison. All nine of their heads were flying in different directions. It even looked like they were flapping their wings and were about to fly. Such a magical carving technique is really shocking!" Someone praised.
After the jade pendant was passed down, it was highly praised. Many people admired Hee Chen's carving technique from the bottom of their hearts and were impressed by it!
"Two out of three. The result is set. Hee Chen won this gamble!" When the guests were convinced by Hee Chen, Huang Hao suddenly announced solemnly.
The young man who was gambling with Hee Chen clenched his teeth and immediately walked off the stage. He was prepared to leave with his face covered in dust. However, Hee Chen suddenly stopped him. After which, he handed the nine eagles' flying jade pendant to him and said, "This is your compensation for losing the gamble. Although it is not worth more than a million..."
"Thank you. However, I can afford to lose the gambling match. " The young man did not accept Hee Chen's help. He turned around and left the hall.
"This guy looks like the master's disciple." Huang Hao looked at the young man's back and murmured. His voice was very soft, but Hee Chen could hear it clearly.
