The arsenal has its own independent family home, because there are more employees, the area is relatively large, naturally it is not good to stay in the urban area, but the jade factory is in the center of the urban area.

However, Yangnan City is not big, and it only took twenty minutes to drive from Xigang, where Li Yi's family is located, to the jade factory, with the level of his two knives.

The jade factory is not big, the outside of the wall is the door face room, the front yard is three jade exhibition halls, and the back is the factory. Speaking of it, it is also drunk, the jade factory in the Dushan jade production area, two and a half of the three exhibition halls are actually sold jadeite!

"In the past two years, the efficiency of the factory has not been good, and I have gambled several pieces of wool in a row to participate in the public market, or I will let you come back to work. But it's good now, listen to your mother, buy a house in Beijing? Or is it money from gambling stones? ”

The fifth uncle is just over forty years old, but his sideburns are already gray, and he doesn't seem to be doing well.

"Luckily, I picked up a leak."

"Luck is also an ability! I used to be unconvinced, thinking that other people's success depended on luck, but now that I think about it, hehe...... The tears that I shed now are all the water that came into my brain when I was young! Xiaoyi, you have a good start, and the road ahead is going to be steady. ”

Now the tears are all the water in my brain when I was young, I didn't expect the fifth uncle to be so trendy, and Li Yi was also drunk.

"This is the processing workshop, when it is booming, the whole class is too busy, and you have to find someone to process on behalf of you, now it's good, there are three or two big cats and kittens. There are not many good materials for Dushan jade, and the inventory is also used. Now those small shops outside are all secretly mined sources, and we are a regular unit, so we can't compare with them. Although the market situation of jadeite has been good in the past two years, the price has been high, the initial investment is too large, and the risk is also high, which is difficult! ”

"I'm the only one left in this piece of identification, the old ones have gone out to earn money, and the new ones have run away because of the poor treatment for two years, if it weren't for your aunt's poor health, I would have gone out a long time ago."

"Let's go, take you to the raw material warehouse to have a look, by the way to test your level, if it's okay, next time I go to the public plate to bring you, so that you can have a long experience."

"Fifth uncle, I'm not sure about all the gambling, but it's okay to gamble."

"Yo, the little guy's tone is not small, then look at the half-gambling!"

The factory was deserted, and the two of them walked around for a while, and they saw a few young men in the processing workshop, and there was no one in the yard.

"The leaders are running outside every day to catch water, a huge factory, except for the few foreign grinders in the processing workshop, I am the only one for 20 days a month......"

The fifth uncle opened the door of the warehouse and complained at the same time.

Pushing open the heavy door and turning on the light, Li Yi's eyes lit up, a lot of wool!

"This area is all half-gambling, you see."

The fifth uncle led Li Yi to take a few steps inside, pointed to a pile of wool on the ground and said.

Li Yi observed that there were about 20 pieces of wool, and the largest of them was almost a few hundred catties. However, these wool materials are basically cut from the middle, and it is said that it is a half-bet, but in fact, it is not far from the clear material.

There are a lot of small pieces of half-gambling material, and they are piled up into five piles in total, which should be distinguished by the kind of water. The fifth uncle didn't explain, and motioned Li Yi to look at it himself, and he took a piece of all gambling material and took a flashlight to look at it.

Li Yi first picked a piece of wool from a pile of wool, and after a cursory review, he found that these wool materials were not only distinguished by water, but also by good emerald color and poor emerald color.

He picked a bunch at random, crouched down and began to look at the stones. This time, he was not as anxious as when he bought the material, and each piece of material had to look at the surface of the leather shell first, and then carefully observe the surface of the window material, and finally verify it with the spirit card.

Time passed unconsciously, and the fifth uncle looked at Li Yi's more and more familiar movements, and nodded secretly.

"Xiaoyi, come and take a look at this piece of wool, what can you see?"

Li Yi straightened up, moved his waist, walked over and took a piece of wool handed over by the fifth uncle, and looked at it carefully.

This is a full piece of black sand skin, the size of a melon, and the shape is irregular.

"This should be an old piece of material, the black sand skin from the third layer of the Hpakant field. Now that Hpakant has dug to the fifth layer, this kind of material is getting less and less. Judging from the desanding part, the material is delicate and the water head is full, which should be ice glutinous or glutinous with a lot of water. ”

"There are scattered pine flowers here, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the emerald color is bad. The reckless belt looms, and the same reason cannot be used as a basis to judge the emerald color. This place should be scum, right? If it's any bigger, it's ringworm. There must be green under ringworm, but it cannot be used as a basis for judging emerald color. However, based on the above three tables, the emerald color of this piece of material is worth looking forward to, I estimate that it can reach more than 50%, and the color is still bright. ”

The fifth uncle nodded noncommittally and asked:

"How much do you pay for this piece of material?"

Li Yi pondered in his heart for a while,

"If no one robs me, I will probably be up to 37,000 or 80,000, and if someone robs me, then the highest price I can afford is 90,000."

The fifth uncle raised his eyebrows and said:

"This piece of material was auctioned back from Ruili's public market, and the winning bid price was 150,000 yuan, although I don't know what price the second place voted for, but at Xiaoyi's price, you will definitely not be able to win the bid."

Li Yi scratched his head, I haven't participated in the public market, how do I know what's going on?

"Public markets are generally divided into two types: open and dark, and the hidden label can account for more than 80%. Before bidding, there are generally a few days to see the stone time, each piece of wool is placed next to the bidding box, of course, there are also the bidding boxes placed in a centralized manner, in this case to be extra careful, do not put the quotation in the wrong bidding box. ”

"The hidden bid is to write down the highest price they think they can afford to put into the bidding box, and the organizer will unify the statistics after the public market, and the one with the highest price will win the bid. The overt mark is similar to the dark mark, but the result can be obtained on the spot. Everyone sits together, fills in the list and quotes according to the number, and then notifies the staff to hand it in, there is a big screen on the spot, and you can see the highest price at any time. ”

"Now it's more advanced, you can directly enter the price with the voting machine, and it can be reflected on the big screen in an instant. But this competition is more intense, a piece of good material, the minute near the end, is likely to receive dozens or even hundreds of quotations at the same time, so it is still similar to the secret bid, and most of them are too late when they see the opponent's offer. ”

Li Yi nodded, if he has the opportunity, he really wants to go to the public market to have a look, not to grab good materials, but to feel the atmosphere.

"Okay, what do you see in all that material?"

"This pile is full of coarse beans, and the emerald color is not good, and this pile is dominated by fine beans, jelly beans and ice beans. This pile of bean seeds and glutinous seeds are all high-tech. This pile is a glutinous seed with a relatively poor emerald color, and there seem to be a few pieces of horsetooth mixed in it, and this pile is more miscellaneous, with oil green, flower blue, glutinous seed, and bean green. The good materials in our factory are not here, right? ”

"Of course, every piece of good material is worth a lot of money, and I don't feel comfortable putting it here. The piece of gambling material I just showed you should be the best in this warehouse. ”

The two of them browsed the material again, Li Yi went through it one by one, and they were too addicted to the cool air, and it wasn't until one o'clock in the afternoon that they were ready to go out to eat.

Walking out of the side door of the jade factory, Li Yi noticed that there was a big pile of wool here, but it seemed to be all waste left after cutting several knives.

"Fifth uncle, these are ......"

"Oh, someone came to pull the scrap in the afternoon, and these were all sent from the jade workshop."

He paused for a moment and continued:

"The people who collect these scraps are people who do big business, although these scraps are not jadeite, but they are all cut from the rough, and their hardness and fineness are also very similar to jadeite. Those unscrupulous merchants take it back, and through guò high temperature, color filling, or powder pressing, etc., they will be turned into beautiful jadeite products and put them in those small shops outside, making huge profits! ”

Li Yi had heard of these methods for a long time, but he always thought that there were flaws in the jadeite to deal with it like this, but he didn't expect them to be so bold as to use waste directly!

"Fifth uncle, since the hardness is about the same, I'll pick up two pieces and go back to practice, no problem."

"What's wrong with this, take it!"

Li Yi smiled, it was time to pick up the carving craft, he looked at it casually, and found that the pieces were still in place, so he bent down and stretched out his hand.

The fifth uncle walked to the security guard who was watching the scrap not far away, said hello, and then lit a cigarette with a smile.

Because of the spirit card, as long as he didn't deliberately practice the level, Li Yi had already developed a habit, and if he stretched out his left hand in advance, he came back this time, which made his mother wonder if he had become left-handed.

This time was no exception, however, as soon as his finger touched the piece of waste, a cold breath poured into his palm!
