He bought a piece of uncut rough stone like this.

When it was cut, it was really green inside.

But, that brother, in his excitement, cut the stone wrongly.

As a result, he had no choice but to cut the stone into fragmented pieces.

A material that could actually fetch ¥8,000,000 was reduced to fragmented pieces after cutting.

- How much? ¥8,000,000? - Yes.

Then, it's really a case where one cut by a knife can bring you either to paradise or hell.

What happened to your friend in the end?

Now, he's still alright. No one is looking for him, or making trouble for him.

Even the money for cremation was saved. They dug a pit and buried him in it.

- Is it really that serious? - Everything was cleared out. Not a single thing left.

From the look of it, we were not cheated too badly with that Ru Kiln porcelain ware from the Warring States period.

So, how much are the two of you preparing to spend today?

¥5,000,000? Great!

- Five thousand... - Fifty million?

No, no, no additional four zeroes. Just five thousand.

¥5,000?

Then, there's no need for you to go upstairs. Just walk around downstairs would be good enough.

Don't. What Uncle De taught us is,

"Listen more, look more, speak less, buy less."

Right, what he said is right. Then, please look some more.

You don't need money to look.

Look at this one. It's already been identified.

The blue flowers can really be seen.

Is that so? Really, Brother?

- Is that how you look at the stone? - Correct.

Isn't there any machine

that can look into the stone?

No, there's really none.

Can you see this?

It's true.

Do you understand what you are looking at?

- You brought an expert? - Half an expert. Half an expert.

How is it? Let's have some fun together.

Your luck is so good. But, I think you should go downstairs and look around.

This brother likes to joke.

He and my...are so alike.

That one who directly dug a hole and buried himself.

Dear honored guests, please take your seats now. Our auction will start shortly.

We welcome everyone to this year's Spring Exhibition of the Precious Stones Cultural Exchange Meeting.

This gentleman has offered ¥4,000,000.

Mr. Zhuang has offered ¥4,000,000.

¥8,000,000? Do we have ¥8,000,000?

Even if you sell that Yun teapot, you will not be able to get ¥8,000,000 for it.

Let me tell you this. This stone looks quite good on the outside,

- but no one knows how it will be when it is cut. - Okay,

- You'll be in trouble if you can't get two inches of green from it. - Mr Zhuang has offered ¥8,000,000.

The cut face of this rough stone shows egg white color.

The transparency and hydration appear fresh and bright. It has to be the old-crater type.

- As long as there's green color of 4 mm, we can still make a profit out of this business deal. - I don't get it at all.

This gentleman who has offered ¥8,000,000 is the honored guest of Old Master Gu Tianfeng,

Mr. Zhuang Rui.

Mr. Zhuang is a nouveau riche in the antique trade. He is now preparing to advance into the precious gemstones trade.

Congratulations to Xu Jewelries for winning the auction for No. 3 Rough Stone

with an auction price of ¥9,000,000. Congratulations to Mr. Xu Wei!

Bing Bing, although this rough stone is a bit expensive,

it is really suitable as a gift for you.

There's no need. It is not easy for you to win the auction for this rough stone.

Please keep it for yourself.

Little Zhao, I discovered a suspicious target.

Would you like to come over and have a drink at my place to celebrate?

There's no need.

You really gave me such a fright just now. What if no one continued bidding?

This rough stone would be...

What is it? Still looking? You're still looking?

You're getting addicted.

These won't do. If you really want something, take a look at those over there.

- No, these... - Please don't be sad.

Even if you won the auction for that stone just now, we won't have the money to pay for it.

This one is not bad.

Money is not the problem. We have money. The problem is, you must be able to get a good stone.

This...this...

This...I want this.

No, what do you—

Wait a moment. Let me take a look. Don't be in a hurry to buy it.

There's really a little bit of green. But, look, there's no more inside. There's too many crack lines.

I think if you really want something, we should choose from there.

This is the one. Go and make payment.

No, a lousy stone like this

cost ¥ 3,000? So, does it mean that if I pick a stone casually from anywhere,

- I can sell it too. - How much is it?

- ¥3,000. - ¥3,000?

Let him have some fun for ¥3,000. You are still left with ¥2,000. Treat me to a meal tonight.

This... I... what is this lousy thing?!

Stop!

Who are you? Why are you running?

You...are chasing me. How can I not run?

Bring him back.

Boss Yu, you should trust me this time, right?

You've barely just left when the police came.

Are you tailing me?

Okay, I'll trust you one more time. Tell me, where will the transaction take place?

Having fun?

You should know that gamble stones are different from antiques.

This is not Panjiayuan, where you can profit from a scoop.

Who said that?

Old Master Gu.

Why can't anyone profit from making a scoop from gamble stones?

There are loopholes everywhere in life. It is just a matter of whether you are able to find them or not.

Let me have a look.

Little Zhuang, your loophole

doesn't look too good.

Until you opened it, how could you tell if this stone is good or not?

You wan to open it?

Yes.

What kind of precious gem

can a stone like that have after opening?

Whoever opens it is the same. If it gets opened,

then that's a miracle.

Don't be too pessimistic.

Didn't you say that there are some stones that might look good,

but when opened, has nothing. But those stones that might look rotten,

if you open them, they might be filled with good jade.

You're right. Stone gambling is that mystical.

But let me tell you this.

That stone by your buddy

don't have any moss on the outside. Its moisture seems questionable.

When you rub it, there's no green, and it even have cracks.

With that kind of quality, what good jadeite can you find?

The probability of that is similar to you growing a horn

and me growing a bucktooth.

Here, sir.

Little Zhuang, let's cut yours first.

Little Zhuang, you have to pay tuition fee in doing this field.

It's fine. I won't be paying it.

We're not afraid of paying tuition fees.

What's important is what you learn. What do you think?

Yes.

We'll start. Are you nervous?

In playing this, you're exactly after the anxiety.

Is it exciting?

Oh, my, no, no.

My heart can't bear it anymore.

Okay.

Your horn didn't grow.

Let me tell you that usually, if the first cut is negative, the succeeding cuts are usually negative too.

Grandfather, are we still cutting?

There's not even any green on the first cut. Why still continue? Just throw it away.

General Manager Xu, why don't you cut yours instead?

What's the rush? He's not done cutting.

How about you two go encourage him?

The probability that there would be jade isn't that high anymore.

If there is,

I fear that it might be in the stone's center.

Let's follow the second line I made

and make our second cut. Let's cut it from the middle.

Calm down. Calm down.

Oh, my!

You have such divine hands, Teacher Gu! You...

Oh, my! This is equivalent to opening up my teeth.

Can you see my horns? It's even branching.

Grandfather Gu, just like you said,

it was really so exciting and nerve racking.

How about we follow your third line

and cut it again?

Listen to me, don't anymore.
