After they got it done, they had to go to the industrial and commercial places to go through some formalities, Wu Chen's matter was settled, and there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so he asked Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaohua to take him to the market below.

There are several markets at the foot of Yuyan Mountain, Wu Chen has been there once, it still belongs to the spontaneous market of the village, and he bought a few stones from the dog, and he has not yet seen the really big market!

The three of them drove out of the village on two motorcycles and drove all the way to the center of the town. Old Zhang Tou led the way in front, Zhang Xiaohua had to sit on the car driven by Wu Chen, as soon as he got in the car, he was very "brave" to lean on Wu Chen's back, hugging tightly, a pair of well-developed and elastic little white rabbits, squeezing Wu Chen's back, making him very uncomfortable, he hadn't driven a motorcycle for a long time, and this time he was driving shaky and stop-and-go......

The market they came to is relatively large-scale, and at first glance it is planned by the local government, and at a glance, it is a regular cross-shaped passage separated by various stalls.

The purpose of their trip is very clear, as soon as they enter the market, they go straight to several large-scale bloodstone stalls, Lao Zhangtou introduced while walking: "Hehe, the bloodstone of this stall is the largest mine owner in Yuyan Mountain, and their materials are the best......

There are two types of people who mine in Yuyan Mountain. One is like Mr. Wang or the future Zhongfu Jewelry, most of the quarried stones are for their own use, but more are directly sold stone mines, in addition to the mine has a special VIP area to receive large customers, in each market also has its own stores, like the one they are now to.

This store covers an area of not small, two open up, enough to have more than 200 square meters, divided into two sides, one side is a large material, from dozens of catties to hundreds of catties, the yard is full of ground, and the iron shelves are also built on the old and young; On the other side are some small ingredients, the big ones are only the size of watermelons, and the small ones are the size of fists, placed in wooden cabinets and glass shelves, neatly arranged in order of size.

It can be seen that the reputation of this family is still very good, and the popularity is very strong, when they arrived, it was crowded with people, and there were no less than 20 people who were selecting wool among them, including individual customers and jade merchants.

Wu Chen didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, as soon as they came in, several people came over and greeted him with a smile on their faces, but unfortunately he didn't recognize any of them, listening to what they said, he actually witnessed his demeanor when he was Yangmei, but he didn't expect to meet here, it seems that this circle is really a bit narrow.

Although it is not a circle with jadeite, but the bloodstone is expensive as the "post-seal", and the seal made is naturally a thing to compete for in the antique industry, but it is not only a way to make a seal, a large piece of bloodstone is often made into ornaments, and its market value is much higher than the value of the seal.

For example, a good bloodstone ornament, if it is auctioned, the value should be more than 100 million yuan, but if it is decomposed into a seal, where can it be auctioned at this price? The total value is estimated to be around tens of millions, but it has shrunk a lot.

Wu Chen also felt very strange about this, and then thought about it carefully, there is still some truth, a thing is rare and expensive, after all, large pieces of raw materials are rare, once they are decomposed, their value will naturally shrink, this is like a ten-carat diamond, stunned to cut into ten one-carat, the total value will definitely shrink; Second, after all, the seal belongs to the literati plaything, and it is more elegant, but the audience is not wide, and I don't want to put it like that, and the local tyrants who dig coal in Shanxi can put it on the stage to show off!

It is precisely because of this that large bloodstone ornaments, which are also expensive works of art, occupy a very important position in jewelry and jade, as the capital of bloodstone, Yuyan Mountain naturally hovers a lot of jewelers, especially the owners of jewelry companies in the south of the Yangtze River and in the north.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and Wu Chen didn't expect to meet his "admirer" here, but he was not familiar with others, so he had to say haha, say a few words, and go back and forth, but it delayed a lot of time, which made him a little anxious, but it was not good to hit people's hot faces.

"Boss Wu, there was a stone king on this Yuyan Mountain before, and it is said that it was sold for more than 200 million, so it won't be you again, right?" A guy who looks a little thief, this matter spread yesterday, and most of the people were guessing who it was, but no one thought it was Wu Chen, and when he saw it today, it was easy to put it on his head, after all, this guy's performance in Yangmei was too rebellious, and it was impossible to be unconvinced!

"Uh-ahem! This, let's take a look at the goods first! Wu Chen obviously wanted to end this gossip topic as soon as possible, and looked left and right, "The material here is still good, everyone, why don't we disperse first?" ”

"Oh, good, good...... Please, please, don't bother you to see the goods! Several bosses came to their senses and said busily, even using honorific titles, which shows that Wu Chen has initially established a reputation in this industry!

Wu Chen arched his hand, he was afraid that Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaohua would be bored, so he turned around and said, "Either you go around casually first, and you don't have to follow me, and we will find a place to round later." ”

"Hmm." Lao Zhangtou nodded, left the new boss, turned around and went out to visit relatives and friends, he was promoted today, and he was a little happy in his heart, so he had to hurry up and find the old buddies to stinky and beautiful, and at the same time find a few reliable descendants to chat, catch the strong men, and form a "watch team", which is a "political task".

Zhang Xiaohua refused to leave, and said with a red face, she wanted to stay and help Wu Chen, in fact, she liked to see the confident look in Wu Chen's eyes when he observed the selection of stones, which was fascinating!

Okay, Wu Chen was noncommittal, and looked at it from this side.

This side is a big material, if according to the name of the jadeite rough, many of them are "full gambling materials", on the stone skin, there are many spots, but very little, or no blood.

Bloodstone is rarely a big material, mainly because cinnabar is often more concentrated when it is mineralized, forming a blood color, and it is impossible for hundreds of kilograms of stones to be full of red, so there are still relatively few large pieces of bloodstone. Once the big ingredients placed here are unraveled, even if they can bleed inside, they are often only taken from a point, and most of the corners are waste. So don't look at its size, but compared to the little red men on the other side, it is worth a lot less.

"Boss Wu, right, he has eyesight, this is a good piece of material!"

As soon as Wu Chen stood next to a piece of bloody stone with a large volume, he was immediately targeted by the shopkeeper, leaned over, and said with a smile, he is also a clever person, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve the position of the owner of this store, and the kung fu of observing words and expressions is still good, so many people's greetings to Wu Chen are seen by him, and he naturally knows that he is not comparable to ordinary individual customers, so he opened up the other clerks and came up to accompany him.

The reason why it is unconventional is because the general rough stone always takes the "round" as the prototype, even if it is a big end and a small one, the whole looks round and smooth, and this piece is a cuboid, resting on that side, a bit like the granite "stone strip" used to build houses in the south before, more than two meters long, wide and high between fifty or sixty centimeters, it looks hard and thick, and it should be more than half a ton.

Wu Chen was attracted by its strange shape, and took a closer look, this should be a semi-finished product, some places are purely the stone skin of the original stone, black and slippery, and some places have new chisel marks on it, and the stone surface looks very irregular and uneven. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few places on it that oozed blood, I really couldn't tell that it was bloodstone, but a stone slab bench made by an ordinary stone factory.

"What's going on, how did it get to this?" Wu Chen saw that the shopkeeper had been watching the expression on his face from the side, so he didn't use his ability, but just gently stroked the stone with his hand, feeling the cold feeling, coming through the sometimes delicate, sometimes rough surface.

The chicken blood on this stone surface is not big, it spreads into petals, and it is impossible to see whether it is floating on the surface or penetrating under the stone.

If it is a jade gambling material, the current Wu Chen may be able to say one, two, three, but he is really unfamiliar with bloodstone, this strange rough stone really aroused his interest, so he had the intention to cheat, but the shopkeeper refused to leave, and looked at Wu Chen with a smirk, hoping to observe something from his face.

Nima, how can this make Lao Tzu "see" the material, Wu Chen was a little annoyed, so he had to raise his head, looked at the shopkeeper with a smile and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"No ......" The shopkeeper obviously didn't expect to provoke this little boss somewhere, and he didn't look good.

"Well, it's okay, then you can get busy first, you don't need to call me, I'll go shopping by myself, do I need to call you again?" Wu Chen said with a smile, and the end went up, sounding like he was asking, but in fact, the meaning was already obvious.

Although the shopkeeper is a little embarrassed, but such a guest, Wu Chen is not the first, some people like to observe the stone slowly, at this time there will indeed be an unpleasant feeling of being watched, and he responded very politely, Okay, you look slowly, I won't bother. Turn around and walk away, beckoning the other guests to go.

After Wu Chen waited for him to leave, he saw that there was another Zhang Xiaohua looking at him like a nymphomaniac, he shouted in his heart, thought about it, and sent her out to sell two cups of milk tea, then he calmed down, stroked the strange material with his hand, and his eyes penetrated into it.

Through the slightly black-gray stone skin, Wu Chen quickly penetrated in, the texture was good, and it looked like it was frozen.

Suddenly, a touch of white luster appeared in front of me, different from the miserable white of ordinary granite crystals, this faint white, which looks slightly transparent, gives people a moist feeling, but it is not as oily as white jade!
