The ornaments taken out of the counter are generally worth about tens or thousands of eight hundred yuan, and even the more valuable items have to be tasted in the room.

Generally, there will be a compartment or VIP room in the jewelry and jade shop of the upper grade, and the precious jewelry and antiques are somewhat similar, and the emphasis is on the things that are not handed, and the objects are put on the table, and the guests take them to see, so that even if they accidentally break them, they can also distinguish the responsibility.

Shizhai also has a partitioned room, the area is not large, only a coffee table and a row of sofas, but in a corner of the room, there is a safe with a height of more than half a person, presumably used to store valuable jewelry, Zhuang Rui looked up after entering the door, and there were two cameras installed on the ceiling of the house.

"Sit down, young man, Xiao Jia, go and pour a cup of tea. ”

After entering the room, the old man greeted Zhuang Rui and sat down on the sofa by himself.

Zhuang Rui sat down without politeness, and said straight to the point: "Old man, I am from Pengcheng, I came to your store to play when I was a child, your craft is in Pengcheng, it is well known, so I still hope to hand over this piece of jadeite to you to carve, as for the cost of processing, it is not a problem, you can offer a price......"

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Hearing Zhuang Rui's words, a flush appeared on the old man's face, and he was about to speak, but he was blocked by a mouthful of phlegm, and coughed violently.

"Grandpa, don't get excited, Mr. Zhuang, what did you say to my grandfather?"

Wu Jia, who had two cups of tea, just entered the house, and when she saw her grandfather's appearance, she hurriedly put the tea on the coffee table and kept patting the old man's back.

"It's not ...... It's none of the young man's business, Xiaojia, you can sit down too. The old man coughed for a while, drank a sip of water, and slowly calmed down.

"Young man, this piece of jade is worth a lot of money, according to this head, if it is made of that kind of ring face of small size, it is estimated that it can be ground out of fourteen or fifteen, and the rest can also produce a pair of earrings, all of which add up, it should be able to sell for seventeen or eight million."

But if you carve it into a pendant, you can only produce four or five at most, and it would be good to sell it for 10 million, so why do you have to make a pendant? If you want to give it to your family, you can also buy some other objects. ”

The old man looked at Zhuang Rui's dress, not like a rich man, so he had some doubts in his heart.

"Hehe, old man, this money is inexhaustible, but if this thing is missed, it will be difficult to meet again, the imperial green jadeite, I also see it for the second time, so I still make a few pendants, leave it to the family, no matter how important the money is, it is not as important as the relatives." ”

Zhuang Rui had already made up his mind, so naturally he would not be changed by the old man's words.

"It's my old man Meng Lang, what you said is right, no matter how important money is, it's not as important as your relatives......" The old man was saddened by Zhuang Rui's words, and for a while he was actually in tears, and he couldn't help himself.

"Grandpa, it's all in the past, don't think about it anymore, if you don't take care of your body, what if Xiaojia is left alone?"

Wu Jia persuaded a few words on the side, but she made herself uncomfortable, which made Zhuang Rui a little restless, he knew that the two people in front of him had lost their sons and fathers, but they still said those words, not to make others uncomfortable.

After seven or eight minutes, the emotions of the grandfather and grandson calmed down, the old man wiped his tears, and said to Zhuang Rui with some embarrassment: "Young man, I'm sorry, I think of something sad......"

"It's okay, old man, the deceased is gone, we who are alive still have to live well. Zhuang Rui comforted him.

"Hehe, most of the people whose bodies have gone into the soil still want you to comfort, old, really old.

Young man, this piece of jadeite, if you want to polish it into a ring face, I can still make a strong old man, although this hand is not as stable as before, but the technical requirements for polishing and polishing the ring face are not high, it should be no problem.

But if you want to carve into a pendant, I don't dare to take this job, if you change to two years earlier, that is, you don't carve it for me, I will help you do it, but the hands are shaking in the past two years, I'm afraid that one is not careful, it will hurt this piece of jade. ”

When the old man spoke, there was a look of regret on his face, he had carved countless jades in his life, even the best jade such as blue-eyed mutton fat jade, and he had carved it with his own hands, but he had not been able to get under the knife in the imperial green jade, and now although there was such an opportunity in front of him, the old man was no longer brave.

After playing with jade all his life, the temptation of this superb jade to the old man is no less than that of an addict who sees marijuana, but due to his own reasons, he can't carve it with his own hands, and the old man is also extremely uncomfortable.

"I have a few apprentices, but ...... Alas, forget it......"

This piece of jadeite material is too valuable, there is a little bit of difference when carving, that is difficult to make up, for the apprentices who have brought him for a few years, the old man is really a little uneasy, but the apprentices in the early years have already set up their own doors, and now they are not in Pengcheng.

"It's okay, old man, I'll find another way, you take care of your body, the kid will leave first......"

Zhuang Rui stood up, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, this stone Zhai can be said to be a time-honored brand in Pengcheng, he can't take this job here, so he doesn't have to go to other places.

When the old man saw Zhuang Rui getting up to leave, he hurriedly said, "Young man, wait a minute, I can't do it, it doesn't mean that I can't find someone to do it." ”

"Oh, old man, please speak......" Zhuang Rui sat down again.

"This pendant is generally the zodiac, or Guanyin Buddha statue, the most exquisite carving process, if you are a piece of ice material, I dare to let the apprentice to carve, but the glass kind of imperial green material is too precious, in case of failure, the old man can not afford to pay ah.

In this way, I will introduce an old friend to help you carve, his craftsmanship is unique in our industry, but it is unique, with my face and your material, I think he will not refuse, but you have to go to the capital, come to the door in person. After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Zhuang Rui and waited for him to make a decision.

"Old man, which master are you talking about?" Seeing that the old man admired that person very much, Zhuang Rui asked.

"I know, grandpa, you're talking about Grandpa Gu, right? Hmph, although Grandpa Gu is powerful, he may not be better than you. ”

Without waiting for the old man to reply, Wu Jia on the side shouted out, but she was a little dissatisfied with her grandfather's words, in her heart, her grandfather's craftsmanship was the best.

After Wu Jia finished speaking, he saw Zhuang Rui's face a little strange, thinking that he didn't believe his words, and said angrily: "Don't believe it, what I said is true, my grandfather used to be called "Nanwu and Beigu" together with Grandpa Gu, and they are very famous in the carving world of the jade industry, if it weren't for Grandpa's poor health, the carved things would not be worse than Grandpa Gu." ”

"No, no, I didn't mean that, of course I believed in the old man's craftsmanship, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the door, but ...... The Gu grandfather you are talking about, is it Gu Tianfeng, the vice chairman of the National Jade Association?"

Zhuang Rui didn't mean to disbelieve it, but he felt that the world was a little too ...... is young, and he and Uncle Gu have only seen each other for more than ten days, and now they ask to come to the door again.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhuang Rui also thought about asking Gu Shibo to carve this piece of jadeite, but first, Gu Shibo was far away in the capital, which was not very convenient, and secondly, Gu Shibo had always taken good care of himself, and he always went to trouble others, Zhuang Rui felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

And then there is the good material in his hand, it is too much, if the ancient master sees this piece of jade, I don't know what to say, for these reasons, Zhuang Rui thought about finding a master in Pengcheng to carve, but he didn't expect that after going around for a long time, he still had to find the master.

However, after hearing Wu Jia's words, Zhuang Rui was also in awe of the old man in front of him, he could be as famous as the old man Gu, and the name in the jade industry was not ordinarily small, and Pengcheng actually hid such a big man.

"Ah...... Do you know Grandpa Gu? Then why don't you go to him to carve this jade?"

Wu Jia looked at Zhuang Rui and asked strangely, although this old man Gu is famous in the jade industry, but it is not known to passers-by, and people who don't know about this industry generally don't know the old man's real name.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be still in the circle, old man, I'm gone. ”

Wu Jia's grandfather originally thought that Zhuang Rui got this piece of jade through other channels, but now it seems that it is very likely that this young man solved it himself.

"Hehe, I'm not an insider, but I've been more interested in gambling stones in recent years, and my luck is good, as for Uncle Gu, he has some connections with my family......"

Zhuang Rui hesitated slightly, and briefly said the relationship between himself and the old man Gu, he knew that even if he didn't say it, wouldn't he still be able to inquire about the friendship between the old man in front of him and the old man Gu for decades?

"I can't think of it, you still have this relationship, then it's no problem, Lao Gu will definitely help you carve it, with him to make a move, it won't insult you This piece of the best jade, wait to see Lao Gu, say hello on my behalf." ”

After listening to Zhuang Rui's words, the old man was also a little surprised, this thing was indeed a coincidence, although he was in Pengcheng, and he had heard of Zhuang Rui's grandfather's reputation, but he had never intersected, and he didn't expect that his old friend would have such a relationship with the young man in front of him.

"Thank you, old man, when I go to the capital, I will definitely convey your words. The matter has come to this point, and the words have been said, Zhuang Rui is ready to leave.

When the old man saw that Zhuang Rui was leaving, he said with a hesitant expression: "By the way, young man, the old man still has a reluctant request, I hope you can consider ............
