Shangguan Hong looked at the middle-aged store owner with the small mustache and said, "Is it this piece?"
The mustached owner nodded seriously. From the provenance and the exposed parts, he could tell there was more than a seventy percent chance that this raw stone could contain treasure.
So, the price is set at one million!
As for why the owner hadn't cut it himself, it was because he knew very well that although this piece was the easiest to observe, it was also hardest to determine.
There is a certain probability it could reveal bean seed or even jade quality, and these two kinds of jade aren't worth much; even if they are impressive, they aren't worth much money.
Therefore, stores that sell raw stones never take the risk of cutting them themselves.
This, in a way, forms one of the conditions for the culture of gemstone gambling.
Shangguan Hong walked closer to the raw stone. This piece was about half a person's height and estimated to weigh about a hundred pounds.
