Chapter 37 Hetian out of the jade

Feng now finally knows what it means to be unfamiliar with life, and he asked Li Laosi if it was very lively when the market opened?

Li Laosi explained to Tang Feng that the Hetian jade materials in the trading market are basically fake, and the counterfeit Hetian jade materials are better than the real Hetian jade materials, and the price is lower than the real Hetian jade materials, and the real things cannot be sold. **This is the Hetian jade version of bad money to drive out good money.

Li Laosi continued: "Xiao Tang, don't worry, as long as I am here, Hotan is your home, I will pick you up tomorrow morning, and we will go to Sangzhutag Township together." ”

"Thank you very much. Li Laosi came at the right time, Tang Feng really had to thank him, Li Laosi said: "Don't be polite to me, just take care of one or two when you bet on the jade rough next time." ”

Tang Feng asked Li Laosi, "Why don't you continue to make Hetian jade?"

Li Laosi shook it and said: "This year, the decline of low-grade Hetian jade has reached 30 percent, no production is not a loss, once the production is a big loss, it is better to sell raw materials directly." We have already planned to shorten the front, throw out all the sales, specialize in jade processing, and connect with external business if our own supply is insufficient. ”

Tang Feng shook his head secretly in his heart, this is a common problem of state-owned enterprises, blind expansion when the efficiency is good, once the efficiency declines, these expansion results will become a mess, Li Laosi's factory is afraid that it will be difficult to recover. It is strange to say that it is not only Li Laosi and his factory that have encountered the economic crisis, but why can Hantang Baoye and Longbao Company survive the economic crisis? In the final analysis, this is still a problem of mechanism.

After some conversation, the fourth child said goodbye and left, Tang Feng went to bed early, preparing for tomorrow's trip.

The next morning, Li Laosi called, and Tang Feng, who had prepared enough cash, walked out of the hotel, and Li Laosi drove a Great Wall pickup truck. Tang Feng got into the car, and there was another person in the car, who was in his forties, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and bright eyes, and looked very capable. Through Li Laosi's introduction, Tang Feng knew that this was Li Laosi's technician in their factory, named Du Jiyuan, who graduated from China University of Geosciences and had been assigned to the factory for 20 years. The three of them talked and laughed, and rushed all the way to Sangzhutag Township.

The Yulong Kashgar River originates from the main peak of Kunlun Mountain, flows into the Hotan River after the Karakash River flows into the Tarim Basin, the river is 325 kilometers long, there are many tributaries, and the basin area is 1.45 million square kilometers. This river is rich in Baitian jade, Qingtian jade and Motian jade, since ancient times is the main river to produce Hetian jade, Hetian jade mountain material is produced in the source of the Yulong Kashgar River iceberg into the Yulong Kashgar River mountain material to form Hetian seed jade, and Sangzhutag Township is in the middle of the river. Speaking of which, the formation of Hetian seed jade is similar to that of Tian Huangshi, due to the multi-season river in Xinjiang, Hetian seed jade is mostly soaked in half a year and buried in frozen soil for half a year, so it has formed her unique charm after tens of millions of years.

A bump in the desolation. The Great Wall pickup truck arrived in Sangzhutag Township. A very backward township. Li Laosi parked his car in front of a courtyard. said: "That is, last year, the trading of mountain materials and seed jade in the bar was very hot. The local jade pickers are here waiting for merchants to come to the door. ”

Hetian seed jade is shallow on the riverbed without pits. Therefore, when it is called picking up jade, you should think that Hetian seed jade can be picked up at will. Jade pickers can only look for jade in this 1.45 million square kilometers on foot, and it can take more than ten days or even months to go out. From the Spring and Autumn period to modern times. Generation after generation of jade pickers have repeatedly crossed the entire Yulong Kashgar River Valley. Look for the real jade.

When a piece of jade is worn on you. Did you know? What does it record about the vicissitudes of life and the changes of time?

The three people got out of the car and walked into the courtyard. An old Uighur came out to say hello. See Li Laosi. He said in jerky Chinese: "Director Li." I haven't seen you in a year. ”

Li Laosi exchanged a few words with him. Cut to the chase. He said, "How's business going?"

"It's not a good year. Harvest is small. High-end materials are in demand. Medium and low-end goods and gambling stones are unsalable.

The Uyghur old man then asked, "Are you here to 'gamble on meat'?"

When it comes to gambling stones, many people first think of jadeite rough, in fact, the earliest gambling stones bet on jade. Gambling stones have a long history in China, and the most famous gambling stone in history is "Heshibi". According to legend, in the Chu State 2,000 years ago, there was a man named He, and he showed a piece of jade. He took it out and presented it to the two monarchs of the Chu State, and the monarch thought that he had been deceived and cut off his left and right legs one after another. He couldn't walk without legs, he cried on Chu Mountain for three days and three nights, and then King Wen of Chu knew, he sent someone to bring Yupu and asked Yugong to dissect it. The result was a gem-quality jade, which was named "He's Bi". Later, this gem was owned by King Zhao Hui, and King Qin Zhao promised to exchange fifteen cities for this gem, which may be an allusion to the priceless city.

Unlike jadeite, not all Hetian jade needs to be gambled, because some Hetian jade materials have no skin shells, and they are clear materials when they are dug out. Only Hetian jade with a skin shell needs to gamble, and the "gambling stone" of Hetian jade is called "gambling meat" by the locals. Hetian jade material is generally divided into three layers, the outermost layer is the weathered shell, called the skin, due to the different places where it is buried, the leather is also different. There is a layer of flesh skin in the outer layer, also called fog, or paste. The inner skin is the essence of jade, commonly known as "meat". What both parties need to gamble on is the "meat" wrapped in the weathered skin.

Li Laosi nodded and said, "We're here to gamble on meat." ”

The Uyghur old man smiled and said, "You came at the right time, you are all inside, go in and have a look." ”

Tang Feng followed them into the inner room, there was a large table in the middle of the inner room, which was full of all kinds of Hetian jade gambling stones, and there were several old people sitting around, both Han and Tibetan Wei. Li Laosi said: "They are all family members of jade pickers, and they are specifically responsible for sales. ”

The Uyghur old man said: "You can pick whatever you want, and then you can negotiate the price after you pick it." ”

Du Jiyuan said: "These mountain people are very simple, they all offer prices based on Xiangyu's experience, and they will not mess around." ”

The big one is always conspicuous, and Tang Feng took a fancy to the biggest piece of material at first sight. The label on this piece of material is very interesting, the handwriting is crooked, and it reads, 05 kg of Hetian Yushan flowing water material from Jimuhan's family. The mountain water is between the material and the mountain material, and the gambling is the largest. This piece of material is oval-shaped, with smooth lines, and the surface is rough and indistinguishable from ordinary stones, yellow-brown stone skin, without a trace of jade.

Li Laosi took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, and said, "Definitely."

, but the difficulty of this gambling stone is a little bigger, and it is difficult to say whether there is jade or not, you can do it yourself. "The real mountain water material has been washed and sharpened by the water for tens of millions of years in the river, and it will be naturally soaked in the place where there are cracks, and the color will cross the nature from light to deep, which is the living skin. In the identification of gambling stones, color transition is the key word, everything comes from nature, just like the leaves of a tree, it is impossible to turn all yellow overnight.

Tang Feng took the magnifying glass from Li Laosi's hand for a long time and there was no new appearance, this is the difference between Hetian jade gambling stone and jade gambling stone. The jade gambling stone can also be judged from the external characteristics such as ringworm spots, python belts and pine flowers, this Hetian jade gambling stone is completely traceless, people know that this is a gambling stone, whether there is jade or not only God knows, the luck of the gambling stone is like rubbing mahjong's luck three points for seven points.

Tang Feng didn't dare to jump to conclusions about this gambling stone, he began to observe a piece of material next to him, which is also from Jimuhan's family, the stone skin of this piece of material is a brown secondary stone skin, which is close to a semi-bright material weighing about a kilogram, and the whole body is flat and the skin is thin and delicate. From the magnifying glass, you can clearly see the countless fine and dense pores all over the surface of the stone body, which is commonly known as an important basis for sweat pores to distinguish real and fake seeds. The ancients said that jade is a psychic thing, can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the vitality of people, this statement is very exaggerated, but there is also a certain truth, because jade has sweat pores, will absorb the sweat of the human body, wear it for a long time will be naturally affected, from this point of view, Peiyu is more than wearing gold and silver has connotation, grade.

Of course, sweat pores can only distinguish the authenticity of the seed material, whether there is jade or not can only be known when rubbed out; Tang Feng now needs to pay attention to whether this seed material has been opened, because its stone skin is very thin, only a few millimeters, this is like a lottery ticket that is scratched and opened, if the film has been uncovered, the lottery ticket will lose its meaning.

After Tang Feng made sure that this piece of material had not been opened, he asked the old Uyghur man, "What is the price of this piece of material?"

The old man of the Hui nationality said to another old man: "Ji Muhan, someone has asked for the price. ”

Ji Muhan took a piece of red cloth in his hand and walked Tang Feng, the bargaining here still retains the customs of thousands of years, the process is very interesting, the old man of the Hui nationality took the red cloth in Ji Muhan's hand, covered his hands, Tang Feng wanted to reach in and touch his gesture. Jimuhan said: "100,000 units. ”

Tang Feng followed the tradition and reached out to touch his hand, the old man had five in his left hand and three in his right hand, bidding ten thousand. Tang Feng pushed back the five of his left hand, leaving only the three of his right hand, and the old man's right hand changed from three to five, and said, "At least so much." ”

Tang Feng pressed his thumb back, returned 10,000, and said, "Give so much at most." ”

The old man thought about it, retracted the remaining four heel fingers and gave a thumbs up, deal!

Then, when the two of them completed the transaction, the transaction price was confidential, and no one else knew, Tang Feng took this piece of semi-clear material and asked Li Laosi: "Can you wipe the skin on the spot?"

Li Laosi said: "No problem. He turned to the old man and said, "We want to solve the jade on the spot." ”

The old Uyghur pointed to the simple grinder in the corner of the wall and said, "You can use it as you please." ”

Tang Feng is a drunkard who does not mean to drink, through his judgment, he thinks that the mountain and water material and this piece of semi-clear material are similar to the age of the generation, and it comes from the same family, the vision and experience of the family are always similar, and there may be an internal connection between the two gambling stones.

There is a big difference between Hetian jade seed material and jadeite gambling stone, more than 90% of Hetian jade is monochrome jade, and there are few variegated jade. This kind of raw material only has a thin layer of flesh skin, so it cannot be wiped with a coarse tool such as a grinding wheel, and can only be polished and polished with a grinding machine with a ring of hard cloth on the runner. Although backward, it is also the seat of the township government, and the power supply is still there, and soon, this piece of seed material is fixed under the grinder, and the light grinding sound sounds, and the results will soon come out.

Li Laosi took out a bag of Lanzhou and circled it, and he said to Tang Feng while smoking: "If you can produce mutton fat jade, you will make a lot of money." ”

"Haha. Tang Feng said with a smile: "Don't dare to hope extravagantly, it's good to be able to get out of Tian Jasper." ”

Tian Huang is yellow on top, jade is green on top, and Tian Yu is white on top. The best Tian jade is Baitian jade, followed by Qingtian jade, then Tian topaz, then two-color sugar Tianyu, and finally Tian Mo jade and Tian jasper. Among them, the most valuable is the mutton fat jade in Baitian jade, and in Tian topaz, the dense wax yellow and maroon yellow with strong chromaticity are also very valuable, which is related to Chinese tradition, after all, yellow is the special color of the royal family.

Tang Feng was observing the condition of Hetian jade seed material while talking, a large piece of meat skin had been beaten off, revealing the meat inside, Tang Feng turned off the power and took out Tian Yu seed material. The three of them came together to watch, and surprisingly, no one else was interested, according to Uyghur custom, the seeds sold are just spilled water, and they have nothing to do with themselves.

The three of them shook their heads together after seeing it, the flesh was pale yellow, the luster was very good, it looked like jade, but it was actually just a polished stone. The result on this side did not affect Tang Feng's mood, he turned over this flat seed material and began to polish the other side, if there was no jade on this side, this seed material would be defeated. This is the most exciting part of the small piece of Hetian jade seed material, similar to the lottery ticket, scratch the film, compare the prize table, everything is clear.

After a while, the polishing on the other side was completed, Li Laosi's eyes were sharp, and he immediately said, "It's out of the jade." "He is also a master of jade, and he can tell at a glance whether it is a stone or a jade.

Tang Feng turned off the power and took out the raw material that was still a little hot, and it was sure that it was egg yolk Tianyu, but it did not gamble, there was a long black jade tendon on it, and there were some black spots and black spots around it. This jade tendon is very deep, the color is from deep to shallow, and the jade shows a clear sense of hierarchy.

It can be seen through the jade tendon that the jade content of this seed material is deep, and two good pieces of material can be taken out. There is no Rantian achievement, which can only be roughly estimated, about 10,000 yuan, and its true value still needs to be processed by Chen Yan.

Tang Feng immediately decided to buy the piece of mountain water material, he turned around and asked Ji Muhan: "What is the price of that piece of mountain water material?"

Ji Muhan replied to the question: "Young man, I have a piece of mutton fat jade here, do you want it?"
