Chapter 367: Elder Wang's Request

"The color is bright and the texture is delicate.

Little George, if I'm not mistaken, your jadeite rough was excavated in the old pit of Hpakant, right?"

A steamed bun with white hair, an age-spotted but energetic old man took a magnifying glass and carefully observed it back and forth from the top glass red fei brought by George for a long time, and then he put down the magnifying glass in his hand with some reluctance, calmed down the excitement in his eyes, walked to the sofa and sat down, and asked out loud.

"Grandpa Wang, I can't say the exact origin, I asked a friend in Xiangjiang to help me buy it, but according to him, it was purchased from the Wuma family, which is said to be a family in northern Myanmar that has a history of more than 100 years of jadeite mining. ”

Hearing the words of the old man in front of him, George groaned slightly, and then took a little bit of what Luo Zhaohui told him after purchasing the jadeite.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's mainly that Luo Zhaohui's words are of no use to the old man in front of him, after all, the two of them are talking more about business.

However, Luo Zhaohui did mention the Wuma family in front of George, according to Luo Zhaohui, this Wuma family has a history of 200 years in Myanmar, and it is a family that has penetrated its tentacles into all aspects of Myanmar.

This family occupies most of the old jade pits in Hpakant, and even many new pits are mined under the leadership of their family, and even the military government does not dare not give them face in many cases.

"If it's the Uma family, that's right, the Uma family in Hpakant is a big family in northern Myanmar, and they occupy dozens of jadeite mines, large and small, which bring them countless benefits every year.

Being able to let them pick out some gambling stone masters to usher in the stored jadeite for sale, it seems that your friend either has a deep friendship with the Wuma family, or has a lot of energy.

As far as I know, more than half of the living glass species are from Hpakant, and Hpakant, in turn, is under the control of the Wuma family. ”

The old man listened to George's explanation, glanced at George in surprise, and then withdrew his gaze without a trace, and said slowly.

When this Wuma family was asking for blood jade (glass red jade), he once asked someone to visit him, and he was willing to pay a high price to buy the glass red jade of the old pit in their family's collection, but he was ruthlessly refused, even if the bid was high.

Although he didn't know what the reason was, in the other party's firm refusal, he could only turn his attention to some other jade mine owners and jewelry companies, and finally after dragging a lot of relationships, he finally managed to purchase a piece of ice red jade.

In the hopeless situation of the glass species, the ice species is the substitute he uses to fill the vacancy of the glass species Hongfei.

In recent years, auction houses and jewelry companies around the world, especially in Xiangjiang, occasionally have glass kind of red jade polished jewelry or pendants, but because of the lag in news, they were purchased by others without waiting for a sale.

In the old man's heart, he originally thought that he would not be able to see the glass red fei in this life, but he did not expect to be able to see a top glass red fei that he had been thinking about for decades again when he was about to enter the soil in old age.

This was an unexpected surprise for him, and at the same time a time that he wished for.

Although he knew that the other party had his own plans for this top-grade glass red jade, he still decided to give it a try for the sake of his wish for many years.

"Little George, I have decided to take over this piece of red jade. ”

After pondering for a while, the old man made up his mind and spoke to George, who was sitting on the other side.

"Grandpa,,,,,,"

Without waiting for George to say something, Wang Geng took the lead and couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade him, if it was before, he would never have spoken, after all, this is a career that grandpa loved, but now grandpa is almost old, and even eating needs to tremble, how to pick up the carving knife!

But before he could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand, signaling him not to speak, but to look at George.

"However, the old man has an uninvited feeling, I hope that little George, you can agree to come down in the face of the old man!"

"Grandpa Wang, if there is anything that the kid needs to do, you said, as long as the kid can do it, I will definitely do it for you. ”

Seeing that Wang Geng wanted to stop the old man, George instantly understood Wang Geng's thoughts, after all, the old man in front of him, a jade sculptor who was once famous in the Chinese circle, is now too old, and he is no longer suitable for doing such a very tedious and even gravity work.

But before he could speak, the old man subtly stopped what Wang Geng wanted to say, and even the words that George had organized were swallowed back and did not speak.

Originally, I was still thinking about why the old man would stop Wang Geng, what the old man thought, George didn't know, the old man who had experienced everything like this wanted to hide his thoughts.

Of course, there is another idea in George's heart, that is, the old man wants to hand over this piece of red jade to his apprentice to take care of, after all, although their apprentice is not as famous as the master, he is also well-known in the Chinese circle, and his craftsmanship is also good.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the old man actually made a request to George while taking over the job, which made George unexpected.

But fortunately, he agreed without changing his face between the flashes, after all, the old man was Wang Geng's grandfather, and he was very good to himself when he was young, and he would let Wang Geng bring him a piece of fruits, snacks and the like from all over the world, and even enlightened himself personally, wanting to untie the knot in his heart.

"I want to cut a piece of material on top of your jadeite rough that can be carved into a bracelet, and I will buy it at twice the market price, and your polishing fee will be waived. ”

The old man didn't let George wait long, and quickly said what he thought in his heart, and after he finished speaking, the old man looked at George with a hint of hope in the depths of his eyes.

Money, the old man is not lacking, he knows that George is not short either, although he doesn't go out to ask about things now, but he still has his own channels, he still knows a little about George's affairs, and he also knows why those people spread George's rumors.

It's just that in his opinion, those people are hitting stones with eggs, everything they do is useless, and there is no substantial harm to George, so he didn't take action to solve it for George.

Of course, more importantly, he believes in George's character, what kind of person this child who has been watched by the whole Chinatown to grow up, and they will not know after more than ten years of contact.

Justice is at ease in people's hearts, and sometimes, it is not something that can be changed by the same people.

"I thought that what is the matter, it is worthy of you to be so solemn, if it is just this matter, the kid promised you, the money will not be necessary, the material you look at the cut, if it is not enough, I will give this piece to you, he has great significance to you, for me it is just a gift to people.

Without the red jade as an embellishment, I still have a glass of green jadeite, which can be polished into a finished product and given away. ”

In the old man's expectant eyes, George did not hesitate and said to the old man. ,

Items that can be measured in money are not very valuable to George, and if he gives away this piece, he can spend money to continue to buy a piece, and if he can't buy it now, then wait, wait until the next piece of red jade appears, and spend a lot of money to buy it.

The friendship of the old man is the most important, as long as the old man confesses, then the next thing to bring to George will be far more than the value of this piece of jade, more money can not buy.
