Chapter 722: The Violet King
"I have long heard that Myanmar often produces large jadeite wool, about 20 tons of jadeite out of several pieces, there was once a piece of 33 tons of jadeite in the excavation process, but also caused a large-scale battle, in the end it is a pity that the jadeite was blown up, no one can get it, this is jadeite, not wool, more than 20 tons of jadeite, what is it, will it make the primary mine? It's really a little exciting, Boss Yang, where is the thing? Let's go and see it......"
Professor Qin, like Zhang Tianyuan, has heard of twenty or thirty tons of jadeite rough, but such a large jadeite has never heard of it, so after hearing it, he is also very excited, although he just took a car for a distance, which made him very uncomfortable, but with such a good jadeite, the suffering is worth it, he really doesn't care at all.
Seeing that Yang Yaoshan quickened his pace and said, "Follow me", he also shook off the hand of the person holding him and quickened his pace, as if he was suddenly dozens of years younger.
Zhang Tianyuan heard the word "primary ore" from Professor Qin's mouth, in fact, Zhuang primary ore refers to a kind of mineral that is still left in the soil after weathering, usually the jadeite produced by this primary ore, most of which are colorless varieties.
The primary mine is not good, so Professor Qin's excitement is naturally not because he saw the primary mine, but simply because he is excited to see such a huge jadeite.
You must know that the quality of primary ore jadeite is often very average, far less than the quality of jadeite produced by secondary minerals such as iron and copper, because the formation of jadeite color is conditional on the existence of secondary minerals. Therefore, there must be associated minerals around the environment where the colorful jadeite grows.
Because Professor Qin was in a hurry. So it didn't take long for everyone to see that huge jadeite, which was very rare.
It weighs more than 20 tons. Zhang Tianyuan didn't know how to imagine how to imagine how there would be such a huge jadeite, if it was wool, it could be understood, but this was jadeite, the jadeite that was dissolved from the wool was so huge, how much did it have to sell.
This should have been a high mountain, listen to Yang Yaoshan. The mountain is dozens of meters high, but now it looks like the original mountain has become a basin, sinking deep underneath, and the entire terrain here has been completely changed.
In Xiuzhen's novel, a person is described as powerful, saying that he can move mountains and seas, but now it seems that human beings are really terrible, moving mountains and seas. It's just a little more time to be able to change the situation on the surface, which the ancients really couldn't have imagined.
Back then, if Yugong had modern tools, he wouldn't have to wait for his children and grandchildren to be endless. Just his generation, he can move Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain.
Seeing a stranger approaching, soldiers and overseers standing nearby on patrol approached. All of them had expressions of wariness and dissatisfaction on their faces.
However, Yang Yaoshan was used to seeing this kind of scene, so he didn't panic. He walked over and said a few words to the leader. The other party nodded reluctantly, as if he agreed to his request, and didn't do anything more, but those soldiers were still staring at this side, as if to prevent Zhang Tianyuan and them from doing anything wrong.
Zhang Tianyuan has no opinion on this, this is someone else's mine, and a bunch of you people suddenly came with guns, and others should be nervous.
"Oh my God! there really must be such a jade! so big, and it's not as bad as I thought!"
Zhang Tianyuan was really frightened, he had never seen more than 20 tons of jadeite wool, let alone more than 20 tons of jadeite, what method was used to solve this jadeite, Zhang Tianyuan was a little confused.
The jadeite was now in a deep pit, and the staff seemed to be still cleaning and wiping it, and there were a few people who seemed to be experts arguing about something.
After Yang Yaoshan's negotiation was successful, he let his own mine guard soldiers and idlers stay in place, and only brought Zhang Tianyuan, Snake Lin and Professor Qin to the huge jadeite.
The best thing is that this jadeite is a rare violet jade, and it is a better eggplant purple in purple, the color is a little uneven, after all, it is too big, some places will show blue-purple, and some places are white crystals, but on the whole, this giant jadeite is at least a low-grade jadeite.
Violet jade is not necessarily a good jadeite, but also depends on its ground, water head and color, this violet jade is just an ordinary bean green ground, so even if the color is not bad, it is not enough to reach the high-end materials, it can only be said to be low-grade, but it is higher than the low-grade jadeite.
But big is his point, if you can carve this piece of jadeite into a work of art as a whole, don't look at it this grade is not high, but it can still become a top work of art, which requires a master's carving.
In order to see the overall situation of this piece of material clearly, Zhang Tianyuan also made a special circle around the material and found that there were many holes in this piece of material, which should be the hole that the jade mine owner at that time entered in order to see whether this piece of material was the same inside and out.
I'm afraid that the outside of the material is jadeite, but the inside is stone, so you can't separate it into jewelry, you can only make a whole work of art, so it doesn't matter if it's stone inside, you can't see through it anyway.
Zhang Tianyuan also looked at it with a word appreciation trick, and found that the inside and outside of this piece of material are roughly the same, the overall grade is medium and low-grade, and it is sold separately, which is really not as valuable as making a work of art as a whole, and if it is made into a work of art, it is really a national treasure-level artwork.
If you unravel it, you can make money, but it loses the meaning of the material itself, and the reason why it attracts attention is not because of its good quality, but because it is huge enough, such a big thing, itself is a special point, once it is broken, it is of little significance.
If Zhang Tianyuan is the owner of this jadeite, he will definitely find a way to carve this jadeite into a work of art, and then use those leftovers to make jewelry and sell it for money. In this way, you can also make a lot of money.
Maybe it's a big mac. It is possible that it can become a collection of his private museum.
It's a pity that this thing isn't his.
"The maximum length of the jadeite is 4.4 meters, the maximum width is 3.9 meters, the maximum height is 3.3 meters, and the weight is 29,750 kilograms. That is, it weighs nearly thirty tons, which is a little too incredible, the original mine generally does not produce too much color, and the appearance of spring color is a bit of a novelty, it is estimated that this piece of jadeite should be near the zĂ i active volcano, after the volcanic eruption, magma and jadeite produced some kind of chemical reaction, only to create such an incredible violet giant. â
"It's amazing, it's really amazing, but it's a pity that there are too few masters who can carve most of this jadeite in its original shape. Otherwise, it will definitely become a world-class classic work of art and a treasure for future generations......"
Because the jadeite had already been measured, Professor Qin asked the staff there after going down, and the experts standing on the side were not doing anything else, in fact, they were thinking about how to deal with such a giant jadeite, this thing was really jealous of being placed here, and people often came to try to steal things at night, in order to protect this piece of jadeite. The government has already killed a lot of soldiers, so they discussed whether they could separate the jadeite and sell it as jewelry.
But the experts disagreed, and the experts agreed. If this piece of jadeite is separated, it loses its great meaning, like a big diamond. If you divide it into dozens of smaller parts, its value and meaning will be much lower.
It's just that now I have a headache and can't find the right expert to carve. This work requires the cooperation of experts of similar level. It's hard for one person to make sure that the whole thing is consistent, after all, things are too big, and when you sculpt, it's easy to pay attention to that and forget about anything else.
"Brother Yang, help me ask, whether this jadeite is for sale or not!" Zhang Tianyuan is now interested in this piece of jadeite, if the price is right, he must buy it, and buy it in its entirety.
"As long as you can afford it, sell it. After Yang Yaoshan asked, he said to Zhang Tianyuan.
"How much is it?" Zhang Tianyuan tried to ask, according to his calculations, such jadeite, one ton is estimated to be about one billion RMB, and thirty tons is estimated to be three billion RMB, if he is frugal, he can still afford it.
But as soon as Yang Yaoshan said the price, he was directly dumbfounded.
"500 billion RMB! Robbery, this is, I don't want to see what the material is. When Zhang Tianyuan heard this price, he was directly dumbfounded, 500 billion RMB, if he really had so much money, he would really buy it, but unfortunately he didn't have it, this is too damn expensive, so I can only take a look.
"Brother, don't worry, they will definitely reduce the price, this thing is not a matter here, they only have two choices, one is to separate and then sell, so that they can sell two or three billion RMB, the other way is to carry out the overall carving, and then as an exhibit for tourists to visit, so as to earn a visit fee, but no matter which method, things must be shipped out, but you don't forget what the situation is now, if they go to China to transport it, if it is shipped to the interior of Myanmar, it will not be easy to do." â
After all, Hpakant is close to the border between China and Myanmar, so it is really easier to cross the border, as long as there are formal procedures, there will be no obstruction there, and the local government is happy to collect money for such a high tax, isn't it?
"Okay brother, don't think about it, if you have a chance, I'll help you ask again, don't forget our business today......"
Yang Yaoshan waited for Professor Qin to finish reading it, then he greeted him, and let Zhang Tianyuan reluctantly leave, Zhang Tianyuan was very satisfied with this giant jadeite, what he was most afraid of now was that the local government here would make two mistakes and directly separate the jadeite, once separated, it would be a tyrannical thing.
But the jade is not his own, and he can't stop others, so he can only watch, but there is nothing he can do.
In this world, there are always some things that can't go as planned, such as this jadeite, Zhang Tianyuan wants to change the fate of this jadeite, but unfortunately he still has no money.
Originally, Zhang Tianyuan had already looked down on money, but now he understands that money is not too much, and you can make as much money as you can, otherwise, if you fall in love with something but can't afford it, you will really die in a hurry. (To be continued......)
