Chapter 258: The Man Who Made the Impossible Possible
"Can't afford to lose? I can't afford to lose to you, right? Xiao Qiang picked up his backpack and the wool rough stone in his hand and walked out, sneering, "What? Did you know that you would lose, so you didn't have the patience to interfere with my selection of wool? ”
Zhou Tianhao was obviously unconvinced, thinking that he was slandered, and when he was about to refute it, he was stopped by Zhang Guolun next to him. Zhang Guolun glanced at the original stone in Xiao Qiang's hand, and sneered with disdain, "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since Mr. Xiao has already selected the original stone, there is no need to quarrel, who loses and who wins, let's see the real trick under our hands." ”
Xiao Qiang knew that Zhou Tianhao should have seen that the surface of the rough stone in his hand was potholes, and the gray color of the base material revealed in the internal traces was the worst kind of oil green seed material, and he thought it was a worthless ore as Hao Ziyan judged, so he was so confident. He just wanted to make a sound, but unexpectedly, at this time, Hao Ziyan's eyes were wide, full of shock and anger, grabbed his arm and pulled him over, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Qiang, are you crazy?" You wool ...... Not that day at the night market, from that Yang Xue ......"
"Shh......h Zi Yan, only you know this, I know it, I know it, I know, understand? Xiao Qiang made a booing gesture and said, "Don't let me ask any questions, I can't explain it to you now, and you'll understand in a while, okay?" ”
"You...... Aren't you fooling around! Hao Ziyan said in a somewhat speechless frustration, "You are fooling around like this, I am alone...... How did you win them? ”
"Whether you win or not, it depends on the value of the final cut jade, and now these jade stones are wrapped in shells, which proves that there is still a chance for Yiqiē, and we haven't lost yet." Xiao Qiang showed a bright confident smile at her, blinked and said, "Believe me, I am a man who can make the impossible possible." ”
Hao Ziyan couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Qiang's Ah Q spirit at this time, but this smile was obviously mixed with too much helplessness and unconfidence. Obviously, she is powerless to complain about Xiao Qiang's confidence that she doesn't know where to come from.
Since Xiao Qiang has also selected the original stone wool, the second link of gambling on the stone is about to begin, that is, to cut the jade selected by everyone, only after going through this link, the shell of the wool will be completely cut to reveal the true face of Lushan inside, in order to know exactly whether there is zài jadeite in the wool, and what kind of quality of jadeite is stored.
The six people held the wool in their hands, and after weighing the seller by two catties and paying a relatively high purchase price, they came to the jade cutting area of the second-floor venue together. There are more than a dozen high-end cutting machines here, and some of them are even purely electronic artificial intelligence mechanical cutting machines, which are more advanced than the cutting machines imported from the Yongan County Jade Factory that Xiao Qiang once saw.
"Miyamoto-sama, you don't seem to have confidence in the wool you've identified?" Seeing that Miyamoto Jianren's expression was full of doubts and ugliness all the way, Zhou Tianhao confidently patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "It's okay, even if you choose the wrong one, it's nothing, just because they are far from our opponents." Look at mine, my wool is definitely good, I'm confident! ”
Before the others could speak, Zhou Tianhao had already swaggered to a cutting machine, handed the jade directly to the cutter and said, "Give me a careful cut, the cut has risen, and your benefit fee is indispensable!" ”
"Yes, yes, gentleman, please wait a moment." The cutter's attitude is very respectful, but the guests who can come to this trade fair are naturally either rich or expensive, far from being something that a small person like him can provoke, and his attitude is normal. Soon, when he took over Zhou Tianhao's wool, he carefully opened the machine and cut it like a fine carving.
As the shell of the wool was worn away little by little by the sharp cutting machine, the fluorescence and full water head that gradually revealed inside soon made Zhou Tianhao more and more proud! The cutter said excitedly while cutting, "It's up, it's up!" This is definitely good material! Judging from the color, it is at least the level of the Laokeng lychee species! ”
"Haha, keep cutting, cut me well! How can the wool that I take a fancy to Zhou Shao be an ordinary product? Hahaha! Zhou Tianhao laughed triumphantly, his eyes swept towards Xiao Qiang and the others from time to time, and the provocation was very obvious.
Hao Ziyan's face became more and more ugly, the better the jade Zhou Tianhao prescribed, the bigger the blow to them. Originally, Hao Ziyan thought that the wool selected by Zhang Guolun was basically a good material, but she didn't expect that the jade opened by Zhou Tianhao had already reached the level of lychee jade!
Among the jadeite, it is generally recognized that the best is the glass species, and the following grades are ice species, egg white species, glutinous species, lychee species, bean species, etc. Laokeng glass jadeite is the best jade, due to the head (transparency) enough, good fluorescence, fine particles, and the yield is extremely rare, belongs to the king of jadeite jade, and the next worse is the ice species, and the worse is the lychee species.
Lychee jadeite jade, as the name suggests, is a transparent jadeite like a lychee, which can be said to be a relatively low price material in the high-grade jadeite jade, but after all, it is a high-grade jadeite, and the price is far from being comparable to other types of jadeite in the middle and lower grades.
When the cutter carefully manipulated the cutter to completely remove all the wool shells selected by Zhou Tianhao, and polished all the complete lychee seeds, the original large pieces of wool had shrunk by nearly three-fifths at this time, but despite this, Zhou Tianhao was quite satisfied.
Because he was fighting jade, Zhou Tianhao did not leave love and self-appreciation, but directly put the polished lychee jade jade on the plate next to him, and said to several appraisers on the side, "You help me appraise the value of this jade." Please read carefully and quote me a price. ”
Several appraisers looked around this lychee jade, and after discussing it for a long time, someone said, "This gentleman, this jade can indeed be called the best old pit lychee jadeite jade, although the transparency is average, but the impurities are less, the color is of the highest quality, if Mr. is willing to sell, we are willing to buy it at a price of five million." ”
"Five Million !!" As soon as this price came out, many onlookers nearby showed envy. Gambling stones are often like this, once you have a good eye, you can often make a lot of money in an instant. Zhou Tianhao only bought the wool at a price of more than 20,000 yuan, but it became 5 million in a blink of an eye, isn't this more thrilling than gambling?
"It's over...... Zhou Tianhao's price of five million was offered, so if it was Zhang Guolun's turn, what would it be? As soon as the two of them add up, we have to lose if we don't lose......" Hao Ziyan said a little frustratedly, "It seems that we really have no chance of winning." ”
"Nothing counts until the last minute, what if there is a miracle?" Xiao Qiang said this with a smile, and said to Xu Yang, "Brother Xu, you go and cut the wool first." ”
"Okay, hehe, I'm here to join in the fun anyway, so I wish me a good jade." Xu Yang smiled comfortingly, and then took the initiative to walk in front of the cutter and cut the rough wool.
