Chapter 706: Extra, Boss Yang wants to cut the stone
Chapter 706: Extra, Boss Yang wants to cut the stone
Yun Batian arrived only a little later, and the area around Yang Hongsheng's stone-crushing machine was already crowded with people. Everyone was staring eagerly and talking about various things. It felt even more lively than Chen Yang's side.
"Borrowed it, borrowed it!"
Yun Batian took a lot of effort to squeeze in.
After all, humans are curious animals. They will go wherever there is something interesting, just for the fun.
There is no suspense about the winning raw stone from Chen Yang, but the top-quality material from Yang Hongsheng is still full of unknowns.
At this moment, on the stone-cutting machine, a raw stone whose original price was 3.8 million, because two windows produced sub-glass-type, top-grade blue water jadeite, the price rose to 160 million, becoming the focus of everyone on the scene.
"Phew, I feel relieved now. I was so nervous! The key material is not mine, why should I be so nervous?"
"Me too, my palms are sweating, I don't know why I'm so nervous."
"Brother, this is the charm of gambling on stones! It makes people excited. Even the onlookers will be affected by the atmosphere."
"I believe in your vision, this piece of material will definitely increase in value. Maybe there is glass-type top-grade blue water in it."
"Even the young man himself may not believe in his own eyesight. Do you believe him? If he believed in his own eyesight, he would have solved it himself. There would be no Yang family involved. In my opinion, this piece of material may be a little strange."
……
The crowd was talking in a flurry.
Many people are optimistic about this material because both windows have green, which is very unusual. It is very likely that glass-type top-grade blue water jadeite will be found inside. As long as a few kilograms of jade meat are taken out, the investment can be almost recovered, and the rest is all profit.
However, some people were skeptical and thought there might be something fishy about the material, so Brother Chen Yang sold it without knowing it.
The Yang family father and son and Lin Shirong studied this piece of material all night last night. Although they plan to start cutting after returning home, the lines have already been drawn, densely packed like ghost paintings, so they can start cutting now.
After all, with such precious material, every cut must be made with extreme caution. A wrong cut could result in significant losses.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly felt very nervous and my right eyelid kept twitching. I always felt that there was something wrong with this material. The guy named Chen might not have had any good intentions in selling the material to me." Yang Hongsheng said to Lin Shirong while looking at the jadeite raw stone. His face looked very unhappy and he was worried.
"You are too nervous, Boss Yang. You lost 1 billion to him, so it's inevitable that you are wary of him. We saw the material with our own eyes, and the two windows were cut out one by one. Do you still suspect that he has forged it?" Lin Shirong said with a faint smile.
It is very difficult to fake jadeite raw stones. According to his decades of experience in gambling on jadeite, there are two main scams for fake jadeite raw stones:
One is called grafting, which is to cut a piece from the original stone with good performance and transplant it to the original stone with poor performance. This counterfeiting method has extremely high requirements for the two original stones, and it is very difficult to counterfeit.
At the last Chuzhou gambling stone conference, there was a rough stone that was half-gambled, and someone had a piece of jadeite pasted on the window position, which is a counterfeiting method called grafting.
Another method of counterfeiting is called "reunion of broken mirrors", which means to reunite the broken jade after cutting to restore its original appearance. This is also an extremely difficult counterfeiting method.
As for the rough stone at hand, Lin Shirong examined it thoroughly and found that it was obviously not fake. The jadeite cut out of the two windows was also obvious to all.
"Yes, it is very difficult to fake raw stones." Yang Hongsheng agreed.
"Boss Yang, don't worry. The rough material can't be fake, and the top-quality blue jade in the window is also genuine. No matter what tricks that kid has, he can't make the jade inside disappear, right? If he does, he must be a god." Lin Shirong continued.
Even so, Yang Hongsheng was still nervous. Now he just wanted to open the rough stone and see what was inside.
"Brother Yang, I just went to the organizer and asked for a plate of firecrackers for you. One thousand bangs. In China, the most I can get are thirty or fifty. This place charged me one thousand yuan, and I get one yuan for each bang. When the bet goes up, give me some of the jade and I'll set off firecrackers for you to celebrate."
Zhou Jinfu, who had returned empty-handed from Chen Yang's place, came to Yang Hongsheng's side with a plate of firecrackers in his hand, saying he wanted to celebrate. It was unclear whether he was sincere or just pretending.
"Brother Zhou, you are so thoughtful. I will treat you to Australian lobster and Alaskan king crab when I get back. I will let you pay back the money you spent on firecrackers with this meal." Yang Hongsheng also responded with a smile. As for the matter of the increase in the bet on jadeite, he did not mention it at all.
"I want to eat Australian lobster, too."
"I also want to eat Alaskan king crab. We are both members of the Jiangnan Province Jewelry Association, so Boss Yang, you can't favor one over the other."
……
The jewelers around started to make a fuss.
The atmosphere can be said to be quite harmonious. Apart from the tension, there is also a bit of warmth.
This gave Yang Hongsheng some comfort in his nervous heart.
Because the material was so valuable, Yang Hongsheng did not let a skilled stone cutter do the work, but instead asked Lin Shirong to do it himself, with his son Yang Bufan assisting him.
Although Lin Shirong was old and had not cut stones in person for many years, he had no choice but to do it. After all, it was he who said that he could buy the stone, so he had to be responsible to the end. He had also bought a stone worth 10 million yuan before, but ended up losing money in gambling.
Stone cutting is different from stone cutting. Stone cutting is to cut it with a knife to see if there is jade inside and whether it is rising or falling. Stone cutting is to know that there is jade in the material, and it is high-quality jade. The skin needs to be polished off little by little with a grinder, which is not only time-consuming but also very boring.
So this small piece of material is covered with dense lines, which makes anyone confused. Even if you give it to a stone cutter, he won't be able to cut it. In the end, it was still Lin Shirong who had to do it.
There are two palm-sized windows on the original stone, both of which produced top-quality blue water jadeite.
According to experience, there should be jade between the two windows, and they must be the same piece of jade.
Lin Shirong first made a few small cuts to remove the skin between the two windows, revealing the known jadeite.
The difficulty of cutting the stone is not great, but it takes time and energy. After all, Lin Shirong is old and weak. After operating for more than ten minutes, his waist and back ached and he could not bear it any longer. In the end, he had to switch roles with Yang Bufan, letting Yang Bufan do the cutting while he provided guidance from the side.
Click!Click!
After half an hour, the two windows were finally connected into one. The skin in the middle was polished off, revealing a green piece, like a green hat, covering the original stone, occupying a large area on the surface of the rough material, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.
There were exclamations from the whole audience, and calls for price increases rose one after another!
Jadeite was extracted from such a large area, and all of them were sub-glass type, top-quality blue water jadeite with uniform color and fine texture. There is absolutely no room for negotiation on the increase in value.
Under the sunlight, the blue water emerald emits an intoxicating oily luster, giving people a feeling of the deep sea.
"Brother Yang, you've made a fortune. This large area of jadeite might be full green, and the entire piece of material is jadeite under the skin. This top-grade blue jadeite, and this large piece, it won't be a problem to sell it for 500 million or 600 million! Let me light firecrackers for you to celebrate." Zhou Jinfu said excitedly, with a look of envy on his face.
Just as he said, after removing such a large skin of the material, it was actually all jade underneath, which was really amazing. It means that this is most likely a piece of full green material.
Crackling!
Zhou Jinfu actually lit the firecrackers, which brought the atmosphere to a small climax.
The winning bidder from Chen Yang's side solved a three-color Fu Lu Shou jadeite, while Yang Hongsheng's side solved a large area of sub-glass-type top-grade blue jadeite. This jadeite public auction can be said to be a battle of gods, with good materials coming one after another.
"It's gone up, a lot! Boss Yang, congratulations."
"The surface is sub-glass type, and there must be glass type inside. It's worth several small targets. Boss Yang made a lot of money this time. It's a huge profit."
"The number one jeweler in Jiangnan Province is not just a name, he really has some skills."
……
The crowd was buzzing with comments and all sorts of compliments and flattery were heard.
Yang Hongsheng's originally nervous expression relaxed a lot and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had several small goals in mind, so that he wouldn't lose too much in this gambling stone conference.
"Oh, what a huge loss, what a huge loss. If I had known earlier, I would not have sold it and kept it for myself to solve the problem." Yun Batian beat his chest and stamped his feet, regretting deeply.
The material originally belonged to him, but Chen Yang sold it because he felt that he could not control it. Reality slapped him in the face, leaving him with no tears. He missed several small goals in vain.
"Bufan, go and thank that man surnamed Chen later. After all, you bought the material from him. We have benefited so much from it, it is only right that we thank him. No matter what conflicts there were in the past, turning swords into plowshares and making money in harmony are better than anything else. Don't act on impulse in the future." Yang Hongsheng said to his son Yang Bufan.
"Let me go and thank him? Dad, this is inappropriate, right? He won 2 billion from our family. Unless he is willing to return the 2 billion." Yang Bufan said with an unhappy look on his face. He was still brooding over the fact that Chen Yang won 2 billion from their Yang family.
"We lost 2 billion because we overestimated our own capabilities and provoked others. It is better for my Yang family not to make enemies with someone as capable as him." Yang Hongsheng said, having already seen that Chen Yang was extraordinary.
This person might really be like what his son said, with the ability to predict the future, so he always wins and his profits increase every time he gambles.
This kind of person should only be made friends with, not enemies!
"Oh well!"
Seeing his father's firm attitude, Yang Bufan had to agree temporarily.
He was going to get the 2 billion back from Chen Yang no matter what, and his plan was to hire a killer on the dark web again.
He had hired a killer before, just yesterday, to try to kidnap Chen Yang, but the plan failed and the two killers were beaten up by Chen Yang with just a wave of his hand.
This time he will spend more money, hire more powerful killers, and make sure to kidnap Chen Yang and make him spit out 2 billion. Then he will decide whether to kill him or cut him into pieces.
He did all this in private and didn't dare tell his old father at all.
