Chapter 706: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Normal agate grading is generally divided into several grades: Premium, First, Grade 2 and Grade 3. But there is no particularly clear qualitative and quantitative thing for these levels www.biquge.info
For example, in the description of premium agate, translucent, no cracks, no sand core, no impurities and weight are relatively easy to define, but the most important part about the color and fineness of the particles cannot be defined very objectively.
Or take the special agate as an example, the description of the color is that the stripes are beautiful, and the colors are pure and bright red, blue, purple, pink, etc., but there are no clear regulations on the delicate moisturization of agate meat.
Of course, there are also people who like to use words often used in the identification of "the body is like clotted fat, the essence is introverted, the quality is thick and warm, and the veins are dense" to describe the best agate, but in fact, this is still a subjective impression.
Therefore, this has caused the phenomenon that each has its own reason when it is really necessary to judge, which also leads to the relatively vague classification of agate on the market, and the so-called fine and best seem to be available everywhere. It's like in the classification of jadeite, many people will artificially upgrade the ice species with better quality to the glass species, or some people simply create the classification of high ice and ice glass species, which were not originally available.
But as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods.
Li Yi had also seen a piece of rose-red southern red agate with a unit price of up to 12,000 grams at Sotheby's Hong Kong auction before, but he felt that it was also pure rose red, but even with the delicacy of that piece of southern red, it seemed to be slightly worse than this one!
The weight of 500 grams is more than 12,000 per gram unit price!
Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't expect to encounter such a superb piece of agate just after coming to the market!
In fact, with his current vision, unless it is some extremely special gemstones, even the best glass species and Hetian jade cannot make him easily moved, but such a superb agate still allows him to instantly find the extraordinary passion that he gambled on when he just got the spirit identification card.
Sure enough, no matter what form of unearned gain, is always an undeniable inducement. Confuse!
Carefully put away this piece of agate rough stone worth more than 6 million, Li Yi's eyes lit up, as if a person who had been hungry for three days and three nights saw a table of gluttonous meals, stared at the pile of rough stones in front of him without blinking, and after a while, he picked out three or four pieces of fine products for him.
"Old Five......
Huan Shi who is tossing here, over there, the big rough stone has been cut according to his requirements, but what makes Zheng Shusen depressed is that although he has cut four knives, he still hasn't cut out even a decent thing, could it be that Li Yi also has a time to look away?
"Oh, that one doesn't care about him for now, you ask how these are sold."
Li Yi threw the shopping basket to Zheng Shusen, and continued to stare at the pile of rough stones without looking back, and soon, he selected more than a dozen medium-quality agate for him.
"It should be almost....."
Li Yi patted the dust on his hands, and was about to turn his head to see Zheng Shusen bargaining, when suddenly he frowned on the side of his head, it stands to reason that there should be nothing that can be seen in these piles of rough stones, but why does he feel as if he has missed something?
He looked at the rough stone with a frown, wondering where this feeling came from, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a flat, narrow agate rough stone from the pile of rough stones. Just now, he only paid attention to the color and texture, and he actually forgot that there was also a strange stone!
Agate stones are generally divided into two kinds, one is the shape of the original stone, and the other is similar to the crystal stone, which is formed by the natural pattern of the agate stone. For example, the heart lamp can actually be regarded as a special kind of ornamental Warring States red strange stone.
Of course, if the rough stone itself was a natural shape that was rare and had artistic value, it would have been picked out by the boss a long time ago. If it is a natural pattern formed by the internal threads, it often has high requirements for the angle and position of the stone. In this way, although Li Yi can see through, if he doesn't happen to see that section, he can't recognize it.
So he never remembered that there was such a thing as agate and strange stones.
The piece he picked out now was an agate stone, but because its color was very messy, and its quality was only average, Li Yi just glanced at it just now and let it go. But it was that hurried glance that gave Li Yi a vague impression, which caused the feeling as if he had missed something just now, and after a closer look, he discovered the mystery in it.
This agate stone is very messy in color and will give an unclean feeling if used to make things. But it is precisely because of this messy, some eat deep and some eat light color, so that this agate stone becomes a strange stone, if you choose the right cutting position, you will cut out a very beautiful natural pattern.
Li Yi took the rough stone in front of him, slowly adjusted the focus, and soon, he found that angle. If you cut it diagonally at an angle of about 15 degrees along a thickness of about 2 centimeters from the rough stone, you will see a pattern that looks like a painting of the river in ink and color!
This pattern is not only very realistic in the river, but also in the rocks and trees on the shore, and even, on the water, there are a few black spots that look like fishing boats! From his current perspective, the whole picture, whether it is the elements or the realism, seems to have been deliberately painted!
"It's going to be a lot harder......"
Although a strange stone was found, it was not too easy to find a piece because of the position and angle of the stone cut, even if it could be seen through. So Li Yi was very embarrassed for a while, and he reluctantly defined a selection criterion for himself.
One is that the rough must be large enough, otherwise, even if the pattern is realistic, it will not make much sense. The other is that the color must be mixed, otherwise the elements are too single, even if they can form any natural patterns, they are all relatively popular patterns, and there is no great value.
After thinking about it carefully, there should be no way to further narrow down the scope, so Li Yi was ready to pass the rough stones in the yard again according to these two standards.
Soon, he found five more rough stones that met these two criteria, but no matter what angle he looked at, no matter which section his eyes stayed on, he could not come up with a natural pattern, which made him sigh and give up the idea.
"Add that to that, too."
Li Yi handed the strange stone to Zheng Shusen, asked him to bargain with the boss, and then picked up two pieces from the large rough stone that had been cut into five pieces, and handed them to Gu Feng after a general glance.
"Boss, do you take the rest? If you take it, make a price. ”
"Oh?"
The boss who had just offered a price, waiting for Zheng Shusen's counteroffer, was stunned, walked to the side of the big rough stone, and asked:
"You just take these two pieces, and don't want the rest?"
"Hehe, it's enough to leave two small pieces as a souvenir, and the rest is too big to take."
The boss looked at the two rough stones that Gu Feng was holding, nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly said:
"Boss, I have a question for you. Why did you choose such a cut stone, and why did you choose these two pieces as a souvenir? ”
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said:
"There's nothing for that, I thought I would be able to cut something out of it, but you saw it. As for choosing these two pieces, I will tell you the reason, because they are small and easy to carry. ”
"That's ......"
The boss touched his chin and pondered for a while, pointed to the rough stones that Li Yi had just selected next to him, and said:
"I know this may be a bit excessive, but ...... In this way, my offer for your newly selected ones is 280,000, and your boss's counteroffer is 140,000. If you could tell me the real reason for choosing these two rough stones, it would be at the price you said! In addition, I am willing to recycle this large rough stone at a price of 140,000 yuan, which means that you can take those rough stones without spending a penny. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at Li Yi's face, and then said:
"If you can't...... I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I won't be able to sell this batch of rough stones to you. ”
Li Yi was stunned, and before he could speak, Zheng Shusen had already shouted,
"What do you mean? You said it yourself, your request is a bit excessive, but you still tie it to this deal, this is ...... This is simply unreasonable! ”
"Yes, it's a little unreasonable. However, if I don't know the real reason today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well for days! Believe me, both of you, even if the best agate can be found in these two rough stones, I will definitely abide by the agreement between us. Really, I just want to know why you really chose these two rough stones! ”
The boss didn't lie, he really didn't mean to embarrass Li Yi. The reason why he is so persistent is because he suffers from moderate obsessive-compulsive disorder, once he is obsessed with something and does not get results, then he will feel anxious and irritable for a long time to come.
It's just that he can't be blamed for the current situation, and the main responsibility lies with Li Yi.
At the beginning, when Li Yirang cut stones along the line he had drawn, the boss didn't have any special ideas. But when the rough stone was cut into five pieces, the boss was a little suspicious, the reason why Li Yi chose to cut it this way did not seem to be looking for a position that could cut up, but wanted to divide the large rough stone into small pieces, so that they could take one of the pieces away.
So he has been paying attention to Li Yi, and Li Yi's actions just now happened to verify his guess. It's just that he has also looked at the two pieces carefully, and he doesn't see any differences, so he really hopes that Li Yi can give him an answer.
Li Yi and Zheng Shusen couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, no matter how they thought about it, they would never have thought that they would encounter such a strange thing. But can those two rough stones really be cut open to him?
The answer is no. At the very least, before getting the batch of rough stones that Li Yi chose later, the mystery must not be revealed, because none of them can be sure whether the boss is telling the truth or not.
What was in those two rough stones, of course, Li Yi knew very well. As for Zheng Shusen, even if he hadn't noticed these before, after the boss's reminder, he could definitely guess the intention of Li Yi's move.
Without him, this guy is too powerful to gamble on stones, since he did this, it means that there must be a cat in the two rough stones he deliberately cut, maybe it is the best agate!
Such a large piece of rough stone, can accurately find the best agate hidden in it, so, these small guys, he will look away?
If he doesn't look away, then, with so many rough stones, will the other party's offer be a mere 280,000? Hehe, I'm afraid that by then, even if they add an extra zero to the back, they may not be able to get those rough stones!
So what to do?
Not only did Li Yi and the others feel embarrassed, but the boss was not having a good time at this time.
Li Yi's reaction has already shown that most of the two rough stones are hidden in the cat, if he wants to gamble, in fact, he can already intercept the batch of rough stones that have not yet been negotiated and open it himself.
However, he really suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, and if he intercepts all the rough stones now, then the other party will never tell him the real answer. So what he has to measure now is whether the extra profit he gets from intercepting this batch of rough stones is worth it for him to risk an obsessive-compulsive episode to gamble on it!
And among them, there is also a big risk, that is, the young man opposite is not as he thinks, and he is also a master of gambling agate, and there is nothing different in the two rough stones that he picked up. And this possibility is still very large!
Damn it! Why did he cut it like that, why did he pick up those two pieces alone!
For a moment, he felt like his head was about to explode......
Seeing the boss pounding his head in pain, it seemed that it was indeed a little abnormal, Zheng Shusen felt that he didn't seem to want to test their attitude, so as to intercept the batch of rough stones, as if he was really sick.
Moreover, there is another very important point, even if he really wants to intercept that batch of rough stones in this way, how does he know that Li Yi will definitely not look away? Could it be that he had seen Li Yi gambling on the stone and knew Li Yi's level?
So, he decided to test it,
"Boss, if you don't do that, didn't you just say that if we told you why you made this choice, you would agree to recycle this rough stone to offset the price of those rough stones? Then, let's just sign an agreement, this batch of rough stones belongs to us, and the cut piece belongs to you, and then, we will cut both pieces one by one......"
As he spoke, he observed his boss's expression, and when he noticed the struggle in his boss's eyes, his heart suddenly sank.
This guy may have really seen Li Yi's gambling stone and knew Li Yi's level of gambling stone! (To be continued.) )
