Chapter 182: Cracks
。 The history of jadeite in China is not very long, although it appeared very early, but it was recognized and accepted by the world, only in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. The rise of the jade fashion has to be mentioned, the two famous women who led this trend, they both had a strong role in modern Chinese history, one was the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, who ruled China for half a century, and the other was Song Meiling, who was the "first lady" of the Kuomintang.
The Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty loved jade jade carving all her life, after her death, a lot of jadeite products and red sapphires were also buried together, there were two jade watermelon green skin and red flesh, black and white silk, which was worth 5 million taels of silver at that time.
Two jade cabbage, green leaves and white stems, a green grasshopper fell on the cabbage heart, there are two yellow bees next to the green leaves, worth 10 million taels of silver, it can be seen that the Empress Dowager Cixi likes the level of jade, and it also indicates that the ruler of the "curtain listens to the government" is extremely luxurious, but these objects were later plundered by Sun Dianying, one of which is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and a jade cabbage is missing.
Song Meiling's love for jadeite is also very famous, in the 30 years of the 20th century, there was a Beijing jade king to buy a piece of jadeite material, the emerald color is excellent, find a skilled craftsman to carve it into a pair of bracelets, the style is novel, the jade is gorgeous, as clear as water, Shanghai Qinggang leader Du Yuesheng bought a bracelet at a price of 40,000 yuan. When Song Meiling saw the jade bracelet worn by Mrs. Du, she fell in love at first sight and couldn't put it down, so Mrs. Du had no choice but to give it to Song Meiling.
At Song Meiling's 100th birthday banquet in 1997, when this famous woman in a traditional bun and wearing a black cheongsam appeared in front of many guests and media, people were shocked to see her wearing a whole set of jade jewelry: jade studs, jade bead chains, jade bracelets, and jade rings. The color and texture of the whole set of jadeite jewelry are superb, under the dress of the whole set of jadeite jewelry, although it is already a centenarian, it is still so graceful and luxurious, and the demeanor is not stingy, showing nobility.
According to some experts' estimates, the value of the set of jadeite jewelry on Song Meiling's body is more than 100 million RMB, which shows Song Meiling's love for jadeite.
Due to the love of these two celebrities for jadeite in modern times, jadeite has also won the reputation of "the king of jade".
The jadeite loved by the above two women is a green jadeite with good water, so in the early days of the rise of jadeite fever in China, people are doubly respected for green jadeite, in the first ten years, the green wool is several times or even dozens of times higher than the jadeite of other colors, because the jadeite of other colors is generally mixed with variegated colors, so many people disdain for red, yellow, blue and purple jadeite.
However, in recent years, the single and pure jadeite has gradually been sought after by people, especially the blood jade bracelet made of the best red jade "cockscomb red", the price of which is as high as 10 million pairs, which is more rare and rare than the jade jewelry made of glass imperial green.
And the reason why Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded when he looked at this piece of wool was because he knew the value of Hongfei, not long ago when he was still working in a pawn shop, a multinational auction jointly owned by China Overseas and overseas auctioned a pair of blood jade bracelets made of the best Hongfei, and the two bracelets were sold at a price of 13.88 million RMB.
At that time, Zhuang Rui was fortunate to observe this pair of bracelets up close, its color and water, are very similar to the red jade in this wool, I don't know if it is because the jade in the wool is too large, Zhuang Rui even has a feeling in his heart, the color of the bracelet, it seems that the jade in this wool is not as bright and bright.
Zhuang Rui took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit the fire with his hands trembling slightly, and after inhaling the smoke deeply into his lungs, he didn't know if nicotine had an effect, Zhuang Rui's excited mood slowly calmed down, and he didn't rush to look at the wool again, but quietly finished the cigarette in his hand, and then put his eyes back on the wool.
This time, Zhuang Rui's mood calmed down a lot, and he was no longer attracted by the bright red, but after observing the distribution of the red fei in the whole piece of wool, he quickly collected the aura.
Rao is Zhuang Rui has calmed down just now, but now his heart is still like a drum, his heart is pounding, as if he is about to jump out of his throat, Zhuang Rui quickly stood up, returned to the pile of gambling wool, found the rest of the drink he drank, and poured it into his mouth in one breath, and then calmed down again.
Zhuang Rui is usually an extremely stable person, and he has seen a lot in the world, and the 40 million of the fat man has never made him so excited, but the scene he saw just now made Zhuang Rui just think about it in his heart, and he couldn't help but have his heart beating faster and his blood swelling.
The length and width of this piece of wool is between forty times sixty centimeters, which is also a large piece of wool, and a rough estimate should be more than 100 catties, and the scene that Zhuang Rui saw was that in the middle of this piece of wool, there was a third of it, about the size of two footballs, all of which were almost transparent, bright and bright supersordinaires of this kind of water head.
In the lower right of this piece of red jade, there is a small area separated by red mist, which is also red jade, but the water head is not so pure, and the red is slightly brown, that is to say, this piece of more than 100 catties of wool can produce at least 30 catties of the best red jade.
Zhuang Rui quickly calculated in his heart, that big piece of red jade, should be able to take out at least twenty pairs of bracelets, and the rest of the materials, and then carve out one hundred and ten pendants to play with no problem, just these things are already worth hundreds of millions, not counting the water next to it is not a very good material.
Although Zhuang Rui is not short of money after having the ability in his eyes, even if Ma Fatzi offers 40 million to buy a white lion, he can also sternly refuse, but in the face of this piece of superb jade worth hundreds of millions, Zhuang Rui can no longer maintain his composure, and it may be difficult to resist this temptation if he is replaced by anyone.
In fact, Zhuang Rui calculates that the value of this piece of wool is a little biased, a pair of blood jade bracelets made by the best red jade can indeed be auctioned for tens of millions of prices, but if there are more than 20 pairs of blood jade bracelets at the same time, the price will definitely plummet, so if he wants to sell the price in his mind, he can only release that pair in a few years, and if more than 20 pairs of bracelets are all sold, I am afraid it will take decades.
At this moment, Zhuang Rui naturally didn't think about this, now he was only thinking about how to buy this piece of wool, if it weren't for the reason that still existed in his heart to tell him to calm down, Zhuang Rui even wanted to directly smash all his net worth, and immediately pull this piece of wool away, this piece of wool does not belong to him for a moment, and Zhuang Rui is not sure for a moment in his heart.
"Boss Yu, that's it, take them out and put them together first. ”
Song Jun's voice rang out in the warehouse, and then Boss Yu and the broker's mustache pushed a very simple luggage cart, put a few pieces of rough stone wool that Master Peng had picked and marked on the cart, and pulled them to a table by the door.
"A total of five pieces of wool, three of them are performing very well, the total weight is one hundred and forty kilograms, Master Peng is an expert, I don't dare to open this price, a total of six million six hundred thousand, everyone wants to be auspicious, Boss Song, what do you think?"
Boss Yu held a calculator in his hand, looked at the half-gambling wool on the ground one by one, and pressed it cracklingly, and after a while, he calculated such a number.
Zhuang Rui also leaned over and looked at the pieces of wool that Master Peng had chosen.
These pieces are half gambling wool that has opened the skylight, judging from the green rubbed out, the performance is a lot, three of them are rubbed out of the green, the water head has reached the ice species, and the size of these three pieces of wool is not small, each piece is about forty kilograms, if the green can seep into it, not much, there is a seven or eight centimeters, it should be able to take out two or three pairs of ice bracelets, then it is a sure profit.
It's just that where these pieces of wool come out of the green, there is a trace of very fine "locks", which makes a few pieces of wool become uncertain, and there is a jargon in the gambling stone circle, called "not afraid of big cracks and afraid of small locks".
Cracks are very harmful to jadeite, large cracks are easy to observe, easy to see the degree of its impact on jadeite, and locks because of small and easy to change, big or small, deep or shallow, elusive, because of the concealment and change of locks, it is difficult to grasp, so there is a saying that "not afraid of big cracks and afraid of small locks".
However, along with the risk, there are often opportunities, jadeite rough is unpredictable, although the risk of the wool with the locks is extremely high, the jade structure inside is likely to be destroyed by these fine locks, but it is also possible that these are post-born cracks, the so-called post-born cracks, refers to the formation of jadeite after the generation of jadeite, such cracks, will not affect the jadeite inside, and the probability of the best is extremely high.
Most people gamble on the stone is often based on gambling color, in addition, there are gambling species, gambling land, there are some people with strong speculative psychology, to bet on cracks, gambling fog, so that although the risk is very large, but the price of cracked wool is generally not very expensive, after the gambling rise, the income is also quite high, and the risk can be proportional, obviously, Master Peng can be regarded as this kind of person.
After Zhuang Rui used a flashlight to look at the thin strands on the wool, he immediately released his aura and looked at the inside of the wool.
Zhuang Rui saw through the aura that the cracks of these three pieces of wool were all green when they went down about four or five centimeters, and the cracks also disappeared, and the jade seed water inside was also good, two of them could almost reach the glass ground, and the other one was slightly worse than the ice seed, but even so, these three pieces of wool could only be cut, and it was still certain to sell a thousand.
"Boss Yu, your price is a bit unkind......
Just when Zhuang Rui squatted down to look at these pieces of wool, he had already talked about the price, looking at the wool Master Peng's expert, but bargaining was what Boss Song Jun and Song were good at......
