After several twists and turns, they finally arrived in Hotan, because it was late, and the three of them found a hotel to stay.

Lin Wen is going to go to the Hetian Jade Trading Market on Jiamai Road, which is currently the largest Hetian seed jade, mountain material, and mountain flowing water trading place in Hotan City, and there are a lot of materials. The market is only open on Fridays and Sundays, and gathers people from various jade mining sites, jade diggers, jade vendors, and some Hetian jade collectors from all over the Hotan region to trade jade. Tomorrow is Sunday, which happens to be the date of the opening of the market, but because of the time difference, the market will not open until 12 o'clock at noon and end at 6 o'clock in the evening.

I had heard about the environment and characteristics of southern Xinjiang for a long time, but when I arrived here, I really felt that there were Uyghurs everywhere, and Lin Wen would certainly not provoke them. In order to avoid trouble, Chen Dong didn't know who to contact, so he found a middle-aged Uyghur and let him negotiate with the people here, which saved a lot of trouble.

Under the leadership of the Uyghur brother named Kul, when Lin Wen came to the Jiamailu and Tianyu trading markets, it was already crowded with people, at least four or five thousand people. Since there are only two days of trading in a week, many people rush over early.

Hetian jade seed material, is Hetian jade fragments through the rain and snow water washed into the river, with the river into the water, Hetian jade mountain flowing water rough stone through the Yulong Kashgar River hundreds or even tens of thousands of years of erosion, the formation of Hetian jade seed material. Hetian jade seed materials include mutton fat white jade, white jade, green and white jade, green jade, topaz, sugar jade, jasper, black jade, blue and white and so on.

Mountain water material is the primary jade ore that has been weathered and collapsed, and washed and transported to the middle and upper reaches of the river by floods. The edges and corners of jade are slightly rounded, close to the primary ore, and the surface is smoother. Mountain water material is a quality jade between mountain material and seed material, which often only rolls halfway up the mountain and does not enter the riverbed. They have undergone a certain degree of weathering and abrasion, but the degree is not as good as that of Ziyu, so the quality of jade is mostly between mountain jade and Ziyu. The mountain water material is generally small, there are undirectional wind erosion traces on the surface, the jade is very delicate and warm, the oiliness is excellent, and the hardness is higher than that of Hetian seed material.

Hetian jade mountain material, jade raw materials without weathered surface skin or thin weathering layer, primary ore mined from the outcrop of the mine or the face of the palm, also known as mountain jade, ballast jade, is the primary jade mine produced in the snow-capped mountains in Xinjiang.

The gambling nature of the seed material is not very large, most of the jade flesh has been exposed, some are even bright materials, and most of the seed materials are not large in size, this kind of rough stone is not attractive to Lin Wen, because it cannot maximize the effectiveness of the eagle pupil, or the kind of appearance is not very good, but the quality of the jade inside is very good, which will bring the greatest benefit to Lin Wen.

Accompanied by Kuer, Lin Wen kept looking at the materials of different sizes on the wooden table, looked at them for more than half an hour, and only shot once, and bought two pieces of seed materials smaller than his fist, because in these two pieces of seed materials, there were genuine sheep fat jade, which could be regarded as picking up a small leak.

Lin Wen still purchased 3 pieces of landscape materials, which were not very large. If you buy it like this, this trip to Xinjiang will definitely be in vain, and there will be no gain.

Lin Wen saw a relatively large shop, and there were a lot of materials, and there were a few pieces of materials in which the texture of the jade was very good, and it was definitely a big rise when it was unraveled. Lin Wen asked Kuhl to negotiate with the seller to avoid the Uyghur boss asking for a sky-high price, and he didn't want to waste time. With the help of Kuer, the boss's attitude was also very friendly, Lin Wen began to choose, the boss saw that Lin Wen didn't look at the material and chose 6 pieces, and these 6 pieces of mountain material are very large, the smallest is nearly 200 catties, fortunately, the boss shouted the price, Lin Wen still slashed the price, these 6 pieces of material is that he can see through the jade inside, if he sells it to others at this price, there are really few people who dare to bet, so Lin Wen also started the price without mercy.

After several attempts to explain, the boss finally gave the price down.

These pieces of material were too large and too heavy to be taken away for the time being, so Kuhl found a local transportation company to pull the goods away and store them first.

After watching for more than three hours, Lin Wen finally bought more than a dozen pieces of material, and the materials were basically the same, perhaps this time was the least harvest since Lin Wen gambled on stones.

Just when Lin Wen was a little discouraged, he accidentally saw a big stone behind a storefront, this stone must weigh three tons, or even more, the gray stone is sharp and angular, and there are some beeholes on the surface, no matter how you look at this stone, it doesn't look like a rough stone.

After Lin Wen habitually looked through it, he was suddenly shocked in place, after seeing through the skin of the stone, a cool feeling made every pore of his body open comfortably, the pure white, and the feeling of jade is completely different, although the jade in it cannot reach the mutton fat jade, but it is definitely the top grade white jade, more importantly, the jade meat inside is too big, almost accounting for three-quarters of the entire material, that has to be two tons, such a large piece of white jade, say anything to take it, enough for two years of your own two stores.

After Lin Wen and the others entered the store, they first selected five or six pieces of material, and the jade meat inside was not bad. Lin Wen chatted with the boss for a few words, and then pretended to be a layman: "Boss, what are you doing with this big stone?"

When Wang Xiaofei saw Lin Wen's demeanor, he knew that Lin Wen was about to start playing again, and he laughed secretly in his stomach.

The boss was a straight man and said, "This is not a stone, it's a piece of mountain material." ”

"Oh, such a big piece of material, how much does that cost?" Lin Wen said, glancing at Wang Xiaofei, he immediately understood, and muttered a few words in Kull's ear......

The boss looked at Lin Wen, thought about it again, and was about to quote the price, Kuhl walked over and chatted with the boss in Uyghur language, anyway, Lin Wen didn't understand, but everyone understood the last sentence: "It must not be less than 2 million!" The boss's attitude was still very resolute.

Lin Wen knew it in his heart, and when he heard this price, his heart blossomed happily. 2 million, even 20 million, you have to take it!

But he still pretended to look around this huge piece of material, and he didn't know which gambling stone master opened the skylight, cut twice, and didn't even see a little jade slag, blame this master for being too unlucky, the ideas were all back home, and he picked out the thick part of the jade flesh to cut, although the cut was very deep, but still did not cut out the jade. It's been a while since I've been looking at this incision, and it should be at least two or three years.

The first knife of this piece of material was cut by the gambling stone master on the mine, and when he saw that such a large material did not come out of the jade, he did not cut it again. The boss is cheap to enter this material, 1.2 million, but no one has asked for more than half a year, one day he really couldn't hold back, he wanted to cut a knife, if he can cut out the jade meat, this piece of material is a big profit. But it backfired, and he cut it down with a knife, and the stone cut off a lot, and he didn't even see a little jade meat, so he had to put it there, and no one cared about it for two years.

Today, I finally came to a half-hung gambling stone, I bought those few pieces of material just now, and I bought it without looking carefully, if I sold it to him for 2 million, I could still make some money.

Hehe, it's a pity that he miscalculated this time, the elegant and handsome young man in front of him, looking harmless to people and animals, is actually very slippery!

"Boss, 1 million, I'll bet on ......" Lin Wen directly killed half of the price.

It's just that before Lin Wen finished speaking, the Uyghur boss interrupted Lin Wen in blunt Mandarin: "No, no, no, 1 million can't be sold, 1.8 million, it can't be less." ”

Lin Wen looked at the Uyghur boss, but he was also a straight person, so he simply stopped bargaining: "Okay, boss, you are happy, I want this stone, Xiaofei, give money." ”

Then Kuhl began to be busy looking for the car to pull the materials, no one noticed that not far away, there was a spirited old man standing quietly not far away, he saw the whole process of Lin Wen buying materials, and the old man had an elusive smile on the corner of his mouth......
