Chapter 8 The Way Forward

Before Li Yi's saliva could flow out, the second piece of wool was unraveled.

In his senses, even if the time for the second piece of wool to flow in was shorter than the first piece, it was extremely difficult to distinguish which shortness. Because it's a blink of an eye, maybe this piece will take longer than that!

His judgment was that if the cool air was only related to the species and size, and had nothing to do with the emerald color, the size of the two pieces of material should be similar.

The results of the calcite confirmed his suspicions, and although the second piece of material was very poor in emerald color, it was about the same size as the first.

The boss in charge of rubbing the stone soaked the material in the water and said with a smile:

"Luck is not bad, although the emerald color is not good, but carving a few pendants, wholesale can also sell for twenty or thirty thousand, this luck, and make a small profit!"

The price of this piece of material is fifteen thousand, if there is no carving, when the material is sold, it will be worth 10,000 yuan to the sky, and the boss is comforting him.

The boss took the jade out of the water and was about to hand it to Li Yi, when he suddenly said "Huh", turned around and picked up the flashlight next to him, and shone it on the material.

"What's wrong?"

After settling the accounts, Li Yi stood up.

"Boss, look, this material is cracked."

Li Yi leaned over and only glanced at it, his face was a little unsightly, this material is not only cracked, it is simply cracked, and it can't be seen!

"This is a cow hair chicken foot dreadlock, this piece of material is wasted, and it is likely that it will not even be able to grind out the beads."

After the boss observed the jade repeatedly with a strong flashlight, he said with regret.

Li Yi looked at the dozen or so cracks on the material that were as thin as hair, and shook his head helplessly, the boss was right, this piece of material is indeed wasted, fifteen thousand, and it was lost.

"Alright, let's solve the third piece."

After a while, the third piece was also unraveled, this is a piece of green skin, a thin layer of jade, nothing can be done, collapsed home.

Three pieces of material, one is more perfect, almost can be sold for more than 300,000 yuan, two pieces collapsed, although the result is not ideal, but Li Yi was originally a test, and this time it can be regarded as achieving the goal.

Cool air is only related to the size of the jadeite and the water, but it cannot avoid defects such as cracks.

He shook his head, half of the gambling material can be played, but he can only play after he further grasps the knowledge of gambling stones, it is impossible to get rich by gambling stones in the short term, and the safest thing is to honestly go to the market to sing eighteen touches!

Looking at the time, Li Yi put the three pieces of jade in his pocket and went out to take a taxi home.

Back at the rental house, remembering today's magical experience, Li Yi was excited for a while, and then lay on the bed and began to think about how to go in the future.

The first thing to solve is naturally the problem of the house, the house he rented is in the area of Wanquan Temple, it is a bungalow that is about to be demolished, it is very cheap, only 400 yuan a month. But this kind of house is cold in winter and hot in summer, and the most inconvenient thing is that the bathroom is still shared, at least a few hundred meters away from his room.

I wasn't qualified to think about this problem before, but now I have a huge amount of money of nearly 10 million in my pocket, and it's a bit too bad to treat myself if I don't improve it.

As for whether to rent or buy, Li Yi's preference is the latter. First, the housing prices in Yanjing are rising every year, and secondly, he has no investment direction, and the money can only be thrown in the bank to eat interest, and more importantly, there is also the deposit of the spirit card, he doesn't think he will be stumped by money in the future.

When the problem of the house is solved, the next question is what to do in the future.

There is no problem in appraising antiques and picking up leaks, but after all, he can't really touch every antique in every store.

This problem is not without a solution, that is, he first screens a round with his own level, and then uses some spirit cards to stare at the truth, although this is still a lot of work, but his actions will be more reasonable, and it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

There is also the same reason for the half-gambling material, most of the defects in the jadeite, such as cracks, ringworm, and cotton, are traceable, and he has problems with two of the three pieces of wool today, which is related to his deliberate choice, and also related to his lack of basic knowledge, although it is not the norm, but it is enough to make him vigilant.

If the knowledge of gambling stones can be further advanced, half gambling materials will become a more stable source of income than picking up leaks.

However, whether it is the appraisal of antiques or the gambling stone, it is not just by reading books to solve the problem.

"It's better to have a master, like Chang Lao's ......"

After pondering for a long time, Li Yi decided to make money first, get what he could get his hands on first, and then slowly think about the future problems, because he was really poor.

Li Yi's home is in Yangnan City, Nam Ho Province, and his parents both work in an arsenal enterprise. Beginning in the early 90s, the efficiency of the munitions enterprises began to decline greatly, and the factory where their family was located has not yet turned over, and the income of the workers and workers can barely maintain food and clothing at the current price level.

The reason why Li Yi University chose jewelry and jade identification is certainly influenced by the Dushan jade produced in Yangnan, and it is also an important reason to make money by trying to make money.

But jewelry appraisal is an industry that requires a lot of practice and experience, and after graduation, he realized that just relying on the knowledge he learned in school, let alone making a fortune, it is not enough for him to find a suitable job. Coupled with the chaotic status quo of Dushanyu in Yangnan, there is no corresponding job for him to choose from, which has caused his current dilemma.

However, because of the appearance of the spirit card, these are no longer the main issues he needs to consider, what he needs to consider now is how to maximize the role of the spirit card and make as much money as possible.

Because there is still a big doubt in his heart, that is, since the spirit card can suddenly appear, it may also disappear suddenly, in case, if this thing suddenly disappears one day, what should he rely on to make a living?

Therefore, he decided to put aside the half-gambling materials and start teaching himself antique appraisal first. If you can be able to use the help of the spirit card, you can become an expert like Chang Lao without relying on the spirit card in the future, then you can really worry about food and clothing.

The reason why the appraisal is chosen first is because the difficulty of appraisal lies in the result, that is, the determination of truth and falsehood, but if you know the truth in advance, it is much easier to go back and find the defect! Anyway, he has to touch a lot of antiques next, so why not take this opportunity to waste more time and improve his appraisal level?

There are many types of antiques, but some are not suitable for frequent use of spirit cards, such as calligraphy and paintings. He can touch a handful of each piece of porcelain, and at most he will be complained about by the shopkeeper, but what about calligraphy and painting? How could that thing just be touched casually?

And the leakage of calligraphy and painting is much more difficult than porcelain and other categories, calligraphy and painting are good or not, just by looking at the eyes can almost have a ** not far from ten judgment. So he decided to focus on porcelain first, taking into account other categories such as miscellaneous, jewelry and jade.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Yi jumped up from the bed, lay down in front of the computer and began to look for a house. Considering that he would often go in and out of Panjiayuan in the future, the house naturally could not be too far away, so he chose for a while, and he fell in love with two relatively new communities, one is the Puzhen community located in the northeast of Fangzhuang Bridge, and the other is the Wenyuan landscape community in Nanxinyuan.

The price of the two communities is more than 40,000 square meters, judging from the online reputation, the construction quality and property services are also similar, the only difference is that there are new houses in Wenyuan Shanshui, while the Puzhen community is second-hand.

Li Yi has no particular inclination for new and second-hand houses, and if you take into account the occupancy rate, he is even more inclined to second-hand houses. After a quick glance at a few room types, he decided to go to the site tomorrow to have a look.

After finishing dinner, Li Yi dialed the bank's inquiry number, and a mechanical and rigid voice came from the earpiece,

"The balance is nine million three hundred and ninety-seven thousand three hundred and twenty yuan, please press the asterisk button for repeated listening."

Li Yi pressed the asterisk button without hesitation, listened to it once, and then pressed it again...... In the dim light, that little face was almost smiling.
