Chapter 332: The Best in Purple (Supplement 1.13)
Saying that, regardless of whether Xu Zhiguo and the others were willing or not, Jia Rudao took the lead and walked to the third floor.
Xu Zhiguo and the others glanced at each other, and in the end, they still followed Jia Nidao's footsteps. You must know that the cutting of jadeite rough, even after the cutting is completed, sometimes, its heavy weight is not something that Jia Yidao can carry alone. Since Jia Rudao himself has been invited, Xu Zhiguo and the others naturally want to see the cut jade material as soon as possible.
However, when Xu Zhiguo and the others followed Jia Yidao's footsteps and arrived on the third floor, the scene inside was really beyond everyone's expectations. In the entire space on the third floor, when they originally transported the jade rough up at one time, it was very clean and tidy. Looking at it now, it's chaos.
Whether it is a cutting machine, an angle grinder, a strong flashlight, a basin with clean water and the like, they are all placed on the ground at random and irregular. As for the jadeite rough that was originally placed in a corner, there were also a lot of small pieces of jadeite rough at this time, which were moved to some corners by Jia Yidao.
Except for the side near the safe, the other corners are almost a mess.
"Boss, you're really crazy when you're cutting stones. Xu Zhiguo muttered in a low voice.
Jia Rudao smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and said, "Do you still pay attention to the environment on the ground when you cut stones?" Or will you sort out all the jade rough stones after cutting stones?" However, when Jia Rudao just said this, Xu Zhiguo stretched out his finger and pointed to the stone-cutting tools piled up all over the ground, and Jia Rudao was speechless for a while.
Speaking of which, the average person who gambles on stones naturally has no scruples when cutting stones. However, after cutting stones, most of them will put away the tools for cutting stones. No matter how bad it is, after the stone cutting is completed, the mess left behind will be cleaned up.
Jia Rudao is good here, and the whole one is about to become a garbage dump.
"Hehe, you can't ask me like that, right?" Jia Rudao spread his hands and said, "When I left last night, it was later than you got off work, how can you still have the energy to clean up here...... No, that's right, I can continue to cut stones today, so let's keep it for the evening and clean it up together......"
Suddenly, Jia Rudao smiled very chicly, feeling good about himself. Xu Zhiguo glanced at each other, a little speechless. However, fortunately, there are jadeite rough stones cut out by Jia Rudao, such as pepper salt white, pepper salt yellow jadeite rough, after cutting out, it has not been very carefully polished, and the jadeite material on it looks not very clear.
These cut jadeite roughs, including the upper part of the jadeite material cut out of Jia Rudao's last jadeite rough last night, need to be polished again by Xu Zhiguo and others. Then, the complete jadeite material can be taken out completely.
As for what kind of place to use and what form of jade jewelry to polish, it is not what Jia Yidao wants to care. Anyway, Xu Zhiguo and others are famous carvers themselves, and in terms of carving, for the middle and low-grade jadeite materials, Jia Rudao completely let them go and made his own decisions.
This is also one of the reasons why Xu Zhiguo and others can get along with Jia Nidao, right?
But all young people who have some ideas don't want their bosses to criticize them at work, especially creative jobs such as jade carving.
"Boss, all these jade materials were cut out by you yesterday?" Xu Zhiguo asked.
"yes. Jia Rudao replied curiously, "Is there anything wrong?" After speaking, Jia Rudao also deliberately looked at the jade materials in front of him, and felt that they were still quite good. However, Xu Zhiguo's eyes showed a slight disappointment.
Not only Xu Zhiguo, but also several other carving masters, are also slightly disappointed in their hearts, right?
Jia Rudao glanced at them, and only then did he see the problem, and he didn't mind, and said with a smile: "I dare you to see if there is any excellent jade material, so I rushed up to help." β
If it weren't for that, there would be no need for Xu Zhiguo and the others to show a disappointed look. After all, the jade materials that are clearly in front of him, except for Jia Rudao, who bought them at a high price of 12 million, are all quite decent. All the jadeite materials cut out, except for the last piece of light green jadeite with a relatively large ice texture, if it is carved into a large ornament, it can be regarded as a relatively high value, and the others can only be regarded as relatively ordinary jadeite materials.
"That ......" Xu was broken by Jia Rudao, Xu Zhiguo and the others were a little sneering on their faces. In the end, Xu Zhiguo simply didn't explain, and directly said to a few carving masters on the side: "Come, let's move all these jade materials to the first floor first." It's better to make room for the boss here. You also heard it just now, but the boss said that he still has to cut stones today. This shows that we still have the opportunity to see a lot of excellent jadeite materials. β
The words made the atmosphere of the scene immediately lively again.
"yes, yes. "The carving master surnamed Li, that is, Lao Li, the carving master who took his wife to Linhai here, looked at Xu Zhiguo at this time, couldn't help but smile a little, nodded, and said, "Actually, it's not all about you Xiao Xu?"
When Xu Zhiguo heard this, he couldn't help but show an expression of "what's the matter with me" on the side.
"Don't deny it. Lao Li said with a smile, "When I first came here, it was you kid who was talking all day long, what chanterelle yellow jade, blood jade bracelet and the like, which hurt a few of us, and everyone was so envious that I didn't know if it was true." It wasn't until later, when I saw the authenticity of these jadeites from the boss, that I had greater expectations for going up to the third floor at this time......"
The meaning in those words seemed to be saying, if it weren't for Xu Zhiguo's efforts to help, Jia Nidao promoted the precious jade in his hand. Lao Li and a few people, at this time, they will not have the intention of wanting to see the best jadeite.
After figuring out the conversation between several people, Jia Rudao was a little crying and laughing. In the end, he dared to feel that he didn't cut out the best jadeite, but it was his fault. However, they don't want to think about it, if the best jadeite is so easy to be cut out, it doesn't matter if it is precious or not.
Just like the cabbage in the vegetable market, do you say it is precious?
"Okay, don't shout here, let's move all these jade materials to the first floor first. Jia Rudao said with a smile, "Otherwise, I will have to deduct your salary." Who told you, when it's time to go to work, to come here and shout. β
"Obey orders! boss!" Xu Zhiguo also made a salute to Jia Yidao, which caused everyone to laugh again, and then, everyone was also in all hands, and Jia Yidao cut the jade rough, whether it was a large piece or a small piece. Whether it is waste materials or ordinary jadeite materials, they are all transported to the factory on the first floor.
"Boss, these jade materials should be carved out as soon as possible, right?" At the end, Xu Zhiguo asked a little uneasily.
"yes. Jia Rudao nodded naturally, but then said, "I think, it's still like this." You can follow the process you have planned, and you can carve it. These jadeite materials that have just been transported can be used if they can be used, and if they are not used, they will be stored first for the time being. There's no need to carve them all. β
"Well, that's for the best. Xu Zhiguo nodded and said, "I understand what to do next." With that, he got ready to work. After all, if Jia Rudao really wants to use all the freshly cut jadeite materials, Xu Zhiguo and others can still do it, but the opening of the jadeite shop is imminent, and the previous overall plan to carve jadeite jewelry will still be affected a little.
Then, Jia Rudao pulled him and asked in a low voice: "That's right, Xiao Xu." Do you know which of the purple jadeite materials are more famous?" Seeing Xu Zhiguo's curious and puzzled eyes, Jia Yidao immediately asked more carefully, and said, "For example, violets or something, among the purple jadeite, it is more brilliant." So, are there any special jadeite materials that the public doesn't often see?"
"Is it just limited to purple jadeite?" Xu Zhiguo repeated, frowned, and said, "This is not very common, right? In terms of jadeite, about other jadeite colors, unless they are very famous, such as chanterelle yellow, blood jade, blue water and other very vivid jadeite materials, others, except for green jadeite, are not very famous." β
Speaking of jadeite, jadeite, the main thing is red and green!
If not, why aren't the other colors included in the term "jadeite"? However, compared with some jewelry, such as sapphire, black pearl, etc., other colors of jadeite materials do not have much advantage.
So that, in the minds of everyone, jadeite should be green, and it is best to be so green that people are intoxicated, and they can't move their eyes at a glance, which is the most precious.
"I said, boss, didn't you cut out any special ingredients, right?" Xu Zhiguo glanced at Jia Yidao with some caution. In his heart, he was pondering, if it weren't for Jia Yidao being stimulated by other people's jade jewelry, he should have cut out some superb materials.
"Hey, hey......" Jia Rudao smiled, and did not deny it, and then, he walked up to the third floor again alone, took out the 13 small jade materials, and walked to the first floor.
Without Jia Nidao guessing, you can know that Xu Zhiguo has leaked the conversation between them just now.
Jia Rudao couldn't help but say to Xu Zhiguo angrily: "You, you...... I wondered, should I keep it as secret as possible in the future? Otherwise, if you really change jobs in the future, then my net worth will not be completely sold by you......
"Hehe, boss, you can quickly take out the jade material, let's take a long look. The corners of Xu Zhiguo's mouth opened and said with a smile. "You don't know, we're waiting like this, but it's very mentally and physically draining. β
"Why?" Jia Rudao was curious, "This consumes physical strength, I know, after all, it's not easy for you to poke your head like this." It's a drain of brainpower, why?"
"It's not because, in such a short period of time, the thoughts in our minds are spinning rapidly, and we want to guess what kind of jade material you are holding in your hand, boss. Xu Zhiguo said with some amusement.
"Then you can continue to guess, I'm not in a hurry anyway. Jia Rudao also said with a smile. Suddenly, there was a sigh. However, Jia Rudao said so, but the movements in his hands did not mean to hide. Immediately, he took out the 13 pieces of jade material from the third floor and took them out of his pocket and put them on a table in the factory.
Suddenly, the purple jadeite, although small, focused everyone's attention!
"Boss, why is this purple jade material so small?" Xu Zhiguo first expressed his opinion. As a jadeite carver, at a glance, it is natural to see the color of the jadeite material. However, at the moment, these 13 pieces of purple jadeite, in terms of quality, there is nothing to be picky about at all. The head, transparency, and even the color are all very fine.
In this way, what Xu Zhiguo thought of was naturally the volume of jadeite.
"Not really. Another young carver said, "However, how can I look at these 13 pieces of jadeite material and feel that there is something special?"
"Something special?" Jia Rudao hadn't asked yet, but Xu Zhiguo asked curiously. "Isn't it a special purple color? I wondered, the purple of these pieces of jadeite seems to be a little purple to the point of being demonic. β
"Sure enough, it's the best jade material, I've seen it for a long time. The rest of the younger carvers also sighed, "Especially the purple on this, from the rich in the middle to the lilac in the margins, is really wonderful." I see, these 13 pieces of jadeite, don't you need to carve artificially at all, and directly place such a form in the jadeite shop, which will definitely attract the attention of countless people!"
"Smack!" Jia Rudao clapped his hands and said, "That's really a good suggestion." β
"No, this is definitely not an ordinary purple jadeite. Lao Li looked at the jade material on the table, and suddenly said softly, "What should this be?" At this time, he suddenly heard Jia Yidao's applause, Lao Li's mood was also suddenly excited, and he patted his head and said, "Boss, this is the 'purple eyes' in the jade!"
"Purple eyes?" Xu Zhiguo first repeated, but then quickly understood, "But isn't it, this is 'purple eyes'." As he spoke, he patted his head with some annoyance.
Many things are like this, although in memory, with such a reserve of knowledge, it is necessary to be reminded by others before they can be able to understand it! However, the few people present did not laugh at Xu Zhiguo's emotion in hindsight. In addition to Jia Yidao and one of the young carvers who were a little dazed and curious, the other carver also showed a sudden look in his eyes!
"The so-called 'purple eyes', in fact, are just a name similar to 'blood jade'. In the end, Lao Li seemed a little more stable, and explained to Jia Yidao, "Listening to its name, you can see what such a jade looks like." β
When Jia Rudao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. If we say that among the 13 pieces of jadeite material, the relatively narrow and long one is not very clear about the clue of the name of this "purple eye", but the rest of the pieces are very vivid! When he was cutting stones, Jia Rudao had such an analogy.
It's just because Jia Nidao has relied on gambling stones to support a good faΓ§ade for jadeite, but, in the final analysis, Jia Rudao's contact with jadeite has not been very long. At least, compared with people like Xu Zhiguo and Lao Li who have practiced carving skills since childhood, they are still very inferior.
It's the first time I've heard a title like "purple eyes"!
"However, the so-called 'purple eyes', in terms of morphological comparison, are only one aspect. Xu Zhiguo, who was on the side, had returned to his usual hip-hop demeanor at this time, and couldn't help but interject with a smile and said, "In addition, there is another saying, that is, 'purple eyes, women's hearts', such jade, but it is the best choice for pursuing girls!"
As the saying goes, purple jadeite itself has a great attraction for women. If you use the best of this purple jadeite to pursue girls, you will naturally have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
