Chapter 018 Sure enough
After Wu Yu took Chen Dawei into the basement, he rushed straight to room No. 3, Chen Dawei did not follow him, he followed everyone alone and studied carefully. According to what he found, there are very few people who really know how to appreciate these people, and most of them are here to try their luck. And not all of them are rich people, so even if they encounter a stone that they think is hiding jade, they will hesitate, and at this time, some later people will take the number plate away.
Wu Yu quickly got two license plates in the third room, these two license plates were worth a total of 19,000 yuan, and he didn't move the remaining thousands of yuan, and he still had to keep some living expenses.
And Chen Dawei only squatted down alone in the back after everyone walked over and touched them one by one, he touched more than a dozen in one breath without response, and he was still muttering in his heart, is it that the mark lost its effect after being activated by himself last time, if this is the case, he will be in vain this time. If he could tell the story of the stone with his eyes, he might as well go back to sleep.
Soon more than ten minutes passed, and he touched more than ten stones, but he still found nothing, Chen Dawei really had the idea of giving up. But in order to be able to grow the space as soon as possible, he had to persevere patiently. As the old saying goes, perseverance will lead to victory. Eventually, when he touched number sixty-eight, his right palm had a hot reaction.
"That's it." Chen Dawei directly took down the number plate, this stone is about ten kilograms, worth 28,000 yuan, just this stone almost spent his own plus the borrowed money.
Wu Yu saw that Chen Dawei took an inconspicuous stone that seemed to have no value, he only shook his head, but he couldn't regret it after others took it. He thought to himself, this time even if he brought this kid to open his eyes and let him have a long memory. As the saying goes, it's impossible to like any line of work without paying some tuition.
After the payment was completed, Chen Dawei went upstairs under the leadership of Wu Yu, which is also known as the jade processing workshop. There is a special calcite processing point here. Rough stones are usually dismembered and cut here after they are bought from the ground. There are workers in the rough stone market who specialize in calcing, and they are all free of charge.
There were already three of them when they came, and it was an old man's stone cutting at the moment. The old man's complexion was not very good, he seemed to have cut off a piece of rough stone, but found that there was not even a bit of jade dregs in it. The rough stone cost him 20,000 yuan. It's no wonder that he doesn't feel heartache, but fortunately, he comes often, wins and loses, and his heart has been honed very strong.
The old man bought two stones in total, and the second stone cost ten thousand, but after all, there was nothing. He just smiled and said that luck was good, and then shook his head and left.
Next was a woman in her thirties, who was dressed quite appropriately, all black, with a bit of neutral tones. She seemed nervous, her hands clasped to her abdomen, her eyes fixed on the rough stone. But with the sound of the cutter's cutting machine, the rough stone soon rained down, and it became smaller and smaller, and finally there was nothing left.
When the woman saw that her rough stone had finally turned to powder, she sat down on the ground. His eyes were silent, as if he had lost all hope. But soon a staff member invited her away. After all, she's here like this, and it might affect other colleagues who need to cut the rough.
After the three of them finished cutting, it was Wu Yu's turn, although Wu Yu had been here before, he was still very nervous when it came to the real solution. After the first stone turned to powder, he couldn't help but curse in a hapless whisper. But after the second stone also turned to powder, he bowed his head and wilted.
When it was Chen Dawei's turn, Chen Dawei was very worried in his heart, none of the original stones of the four people in front of him had risen, and he began to doubt his original stones. But now that the arrow was ready, he had to open his bow. While he was praying, the cutter suddenly stopped the cutter in his hand and sighed.
Immediately, several people present looked over, and saw that there was a little emerald green in the middle of the stone that was already half left. Then Wu Yu ran over with a vertical step, looked down carefully, and said to Chen Dawei excitedly, "Your uncle, your luck is too good, right?" It went up for the first time. ”
Hearing Wu Yu's voice, a middle-aged man soon came over, he also looked down and nodded, "Sure enough, it has risen, this should be a piece of high-grade jadeite." It's not a lot of money, but you can also make some accessories. The middle-aged man then said to Chen Dawei, "This gentleman, whether you sell this jade or not, I am willing to pay one million yuan." ”
"Liu Wen, do you want to buy this imperial jade for a million? It's not a lot of money, but it's not so cheap, right? You're the boss here, so you can't bully these new friends. That's good, I'll pay three million yuan, which can be regarded as making a friend. An old man came over with a wobble.
"Li San, why do you come to stir up trouble every time?" Liu Wen was very angry, but he seemed to be a little jealous of this Li San, so he could only say this, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Little brother, the old man will sell this thing to me for three million. If you think about it, although this rough stone has not been opened, once you have finished opening, the result is not all imperial jade, then you will lose a lot. It's better to sell it to the old man now, and let the old man bear the final result? ”
On the way, Wu Yu gave Chen Dawei the relevant knowledge of jade, and knew that there were three types of jadeite, and the most valuable one was imperial jade. Imperial jade is the top grade in jadeite, the color is green and pure, intense, uniform, high transparency, water head and foot, its texture structure, are authentic old species, the yield is very small.
The price of this imperial jadeite is very expensive, measured in carats, and ranks among the high-end gemstones such as diamonds, corundum, emeralds, cat's eyes, etc. At last year's World Gem Fair, the best imperial jade was sold for $2,000 a carat; The worst also sold for a hundred dollars a carat.
After the imperial jade came the commercial jade. The color is mixed, and its color is different, uniform and transparent. The texture of its seed pit is also more mixed, with old, new, new and old species. This commercial jade, which is mainly used to make jewelry, is the main jadeite commodity in jewelry stores around the world, and can now be sold for $1,000 a kilogram at the most expensive and $30 a kilogram at the worst.
The third type is ordinary jade, whose structural transparency is basically the same as that of commercial jade, and is mainly used to make some lower-grade jade carving ornaments. The highest price is only $30 a kilogram, and the worst price is only $5 a kilogram.
If your own piece of rough stone is completely unraveled, as long as the jadeite accounts for one-third, then you may get about 1 kilogram of imperial jade, according to the calculation that one kilogram is equal to 5,000 carats, even if your imperial jade is the worst grade, you should be able to sell it for more than four million yuan.
