Chapter Eighty-Eight: I'm Ready to Go to Yunnan
"Niuzi, let's have another set meal, I can still eat it. Sun Wei said.
"Damn, you're so thin, how can you eat so much? I don't usually see that you have this amount of food!" I said.
"You try to move so many stones, Zhu Chen has the power of love, Brother Guang has the strength of a shoulder, I don't have anything." Am I forced to move with a strong will?" Sun Wei said shamelessly.
"You can roll the calves, you have moved a few pieces, not enough for you to breathe. Brother Guang scolded dissatisfiedly.
"Brother Guang, are we in the same trench?" Sun Wei said to Brother Guang.
I felt that something was wrong, and asked, "This courtesy is for people, and there must be something to ask for." This copper coin is not ordinary, so it was given to me so boldly. Tell me, what bad ideas are you two holding back?"
Brother Guang and Sun Wei looked at each other, and I knew that I had guessed most of them correctly.
Sun Weipi said with a smile: "Alas, Niuzi, you are really discerning, not only to see the baby, but also to see the person." ”
I laughed and scolded, "You can pull it, let it go." ”
Brother Guang saw that I was not very resistant to being calculated, so he said: "Niuzi, this Zhu Chen told the two of us that the jade is what you like." ”
I immediately understood, and admitted: "Yes, the two times I opened the stone, the luck was not bad, but..."
"Ouch, you understand what we mean, so don't whet us, let's talk about it. Sun Wei was a little anxious.
I smiled evilly: "This is a stone, there is a lot of luck." Maybe when you open a rock, there's nothing in it. Moreover, it seems that the cost of this jadeite is not low. The probability of a kilogram of material being able to produce a good jadeite is very low. ”
Sun Wei looked at me blankly, "You say it's simple." I don't understand this jadeite, I don't understand what you say. ”
I slapped the door of my head, "Do you really think of opening jadeite as a lottery ticket?
Sun Wei turned his gaze to Brother Guang.
Brother Guang said angrily: "Don't look at me." I said that I don't understand gambling stones. And as I said, it's not that easy to open jadeite. If you have any questions, ask Niu Zi quickly, and if you don't go, quickly refund the train ticket. ”
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "How come there are still train tickets?"
"Oh, didn't you say before that Eleven went to Yunnan. Let's introduce this gambling stone first. Sun Wei said.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "When jadeite is first mined, it is usually wrapped in a layer of weathered skin. People can't know what is good or bad inside, and the quality of the jadeite can only be known after cutting. This process of cutting stones is generally called gambling stones. ”
I continued: "The outer skin of the gambling stone is wrapped in a thin or thick original stone skin, and different gambling stones have different colors, red, yellow, white, black, and mixed colors. The most lucrative and tempting jade trade, but also the most risky, is the gambling stone. The buying and selling of jadeite rough is the most mysterious transaction in the jewelry industry, and its mystery lies in the word "gambling", so the buyer has the saying of gambling jade and gambling stone. This gambling stone, how to say it, is a contest of experience, strength and luck. ”
Brother Guang asked: "You have to say that in ancient times, science and technology were not developed, and you couldn't see the jade in the stone." Now that technology is so advanced, can't you see it?"
I replied: "There is such a saying in the gambling stone world, which is that it is difficult for immortals to break an inch of jade. The quality of jadeite raw materials is changeable, there is no fixed judgment mode, it is a piece of flawless jadeite with all peeled skin, and there may be great changes after cutting, although now we have any X-ray and other equipment, but only after cutting and dissecting can there be a real conclusion. ”
Sun Wei asked: "I look at the jadeite, many of them will make a part of the jade meat, and the quality is very good." Nanli said that it is called Ming Liu, does this mean that you can see it?"
I smiled noncommittally and asked, "We often see small windows on large pieces of jade. While these small windows are likely to be green, you must be extra cautious when you see them. If the seller can be sure that there is a lot of green inside, then why doesn't he open a big window and sell it for a good price? Or, if he knows that it is full of good ingredients, will he give this kind of good thing to others?"
I continued: "This gambling stone is very particular. Even if the jade material has been opened, it is generally necessary to bid according to the standard of the brick material according to different situations. The green of some windows is the broken edge of the pickaxe, and when illuminated with a lamp, the inside is lovely green, but strangely, the window part is not polished. The reason for this is most likely due to too many cracks, bad water, black or incorrect green. Once such jadeite is polished, all the shortcomings will be exposed. If this happens, the seller needs to polish the unclear part of the rough before negotiating.
As I thought, I said, "By the way, there's another point, this rough stone can also be fake." When buying high-grade jade, traces of manual polishing are often visible. Most of these traces are left by some of the traces of grinding, digging and rubbing before the jade material enters our country, due to the owner looking for green on the jade material. These traces are often not green. Since then, it has been cleverly camouflaged with sand and glue of the same color as the skin. If a piece of jade material, there are artificial convex and concave traces everywhere, you should see as much green as you want, and the green you see at this time is usually the true value of the finished product. ”
Brother Guang asked, "Since this gambling stone is so difficult, how did you hit it every shot?"
I felt a little weak and said, "Uh... It should be luck. ”
"Hey, it doesn't matter, I don't understand it anyway, so I'll follow you. You just say, Eleven is not going to die with us!" Sun Wei listened a little widely, and simply asked.
"Do you know that good material for gambling stones is very expensive?" I asked.
"Whoever buys the expensive one is the one who buys the cheap one to make it small. No matter how bad it is, you can see it for a long time. Sun Wei said with a smile.
"But my store has just opened, and my dad is counting on me to see it. "I shirked.
"Excuses, it's all excuses. You went to school, and you didn't look at the store, didn't you? Go Niuzi, if you buy a good piece of jadeite, hundreds of thousands! Isn't that more a reflection of your value, isn't it?" Sun Wei said with reason, and the words of compliment came out of his mouth without money.
After some hard work, I compromised. In fact, in my heart, I also yearn for gambling stones, and I like the excitement of this knife heaven and a knife hell. Most importantly, perhaps, I can accumulate wealth by gambling on stones. For me, who was just starting out in the world of collecting, it was also the basis for my revenge.
