Walking around the Great Rough Stone, Li Yi saw two relatively large sections, and he looked into them again, carefully determined that there was no problem with the observation just now, and opened his mouth to ask:

"Boss, how do you sell this rough stone?"

"1.2 million."

The boss is obviously often asked for a price, and he quotes a price without even thinking about it.

Li Yi frowned, it is said that this kind of crystal, if it is a small piece, no one may ask for dozens of yuan per kilogram, this boss's price is almost 200 yuan per kilogram, although he has never seen such a large crystal rough stone, and he does not understand the market, but this price should be high, and it is a lot higher.

was about to talk again, suddenly Hangzi called the boss aside, the two of them muttered and didn't know what to say, the boss showed a trace of embarrassment, turned his head and said:

"Since it's Hangzi's friend, it's 900,000. But it really can't be lower, although the clarity of this rough stone is average, but it weighs 6 tons, and no one knows what the situation is inside, if you can come out with a few ornamental stones, it is a proper rise. ”

The boss didn't think about it at all, but only guessed that there might be ornamental stones. Li Yi glanced at Hangzi and saw him nodding secretly, so he smiled, 900,000 is 900,000, anyway, this advantage is taken advantage of, and he doesn't care about the extra 200,000.

After getting the original stone, Li Yi decided to untie it on the spot, otherwise such a large piece would not be able to be placed.

"Boss, can you help me solve this piece of material? It's so big, I can't carry it away. ”

"No problem, but it's going to take some time to unravel."

Li Yi nodded, the hardness of the crystal is about the same as jadeite, such a large piece of rough stone, it takes more than an hour just to cut it from the middle, not to mention that he still wants to take out the piece of material alone.

But it doesn't matter, the calcite doesn't need them to do it themselves, they will cut it here later, what should they do, and he can also send Lu Ningshuang back to the hotel to rest first.

After thinking for a while, he drew a white line on the rough stone with chalk,

"Just cut it from here."

The boss went outside to greet the forklift, and here, Li Yi glanced at Lu Ningshuang,

"Let's go, let's go back to the hotel first, Hongchen, you are guarding here, I'll come over later."

Lu Ningshuang was indeed a little tired, seeing Li Yi arrange it like this, after thinking about it, he didn't say much, the two of them went back to eat something casually near the hotel, and Li Yi rushed to the workshop again.

Seeing that the rough stone had just been put on the cutting machine by the forklift, and it was not in the right position, Li Yi asked Hongchen to take Hangzi out to eat, and he bent down to look at the other rough stones.

The big cutting machine of this house was placed at the door of the warehouse, and after a while, the master in charge of calcing the stone came over and asked Li Yi to check whether it was aligned.

The sound of calcite lasted for nearly two hours, and Li Yi had already picked the rough stone here, and even ran to the processing workshop to see the craftsmanship of this house for a while, and the big rough stone was finally cut in half.

Seeing the performance of the cut surface, Li Yi quietly drew two more lines on half of it and asked the master to continue cutting. The boss who rushed to hear the news showed a sense of relief on his face, to be honest, this piece of rough stone really made him very contradictory, but now that this result came out, he was a little lucky, fortunately he didn't do it himself, otherwise he would have lost the bottom properly!

"Boss, this piece of material should be considered a collapse, right?"

"Well, looking at it now, there really isn't much to use. In this way, you are a foreigner, and it is likely that the transportation of these materials back will not be worth the little money you spent, so it is better to simply leave it for me, and you will not have to pay for those few rough stones. ”

"Oh?"

Li Yi blinked, he did pick out a few rough stones just now, all of them were the kind of monochrome crystals with good content, but just from the appearance of the original stones, they were not worth tens of thousands of yuan in total, and now the boss actually wanted to exchange those for his rough stones worth 900,000 yuan, and he didn't know if he was really kind, or he was taking advantage of the fire to rob.

But no matter what the boss thinks, he really can't take the material away anyway, and if the boss doesn't accept it, he is very likely to throw it here without anything, so he smiled and nodded,

"Okay, I'll take out that piece later, I'll keep a souvenir, and I'll leave the rest to you!"

After more than an hour, the calcite master finally took out a square rough stone weighing about 100 kilograms from the rough stone, Li Yi asked the forklift to help load the rough stone onto Hangzi's van, and the three of them drove away, leaving behind the boss and the calcite master with a confused look.

"I guess it's uncomfortable and deliberately tossing people, right?"

"It's possible, but if it's you and me, I will lose 900,000 all of a sudden, maybe I can't perform as well as him, rich man!"

Master Jieshi stuck out his tongue, maybe? If I lose 900,000 yuan like this, maybe I will go straight to the rooftop!

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Yi followed Hangzi to five or six workshops, purchased a batch of rough stones with good condition, and then wrapped a red envelope of 10,000 yuan, and sent away Hangzi who was grateful for his kindness.

The crystal bazaar, which is indeed a bazaar, is in a courtyard about the size of two football fields, with more than a hundred small rectangular areas painted in white ash, and one area is a stall. When Li Yi and the others arrived, these stalls were already full of rough stones, and the courtyard was also full of all kinds of people who came to gamble on stones, and it was as lively as a New Year's fair in the countryside.

"So many people?"

"Well, yesterday I asked Hangzi, and he said that the price here should be much cheaper than the ones we saw, but gambling on the stone, relying on eyesight, does not mean that the cheap rough stone will definitely go up, so I can't say where to buy it is more cost-effective."

Lu Ningshuang nodded.

"Before leaving yesterday, he told me that because he didn't know that we would buy so much at once, he didn't contact those big merchants who wholesale rough stones in advance, and if he really wanted to do this business, next time he greeted him in advance, he would first contact those wholesalers, and even buy directly from Brazil."

Lu Ningshuang laughed twice,

"That's what your 20,000 dollars do? However, if you have time, you can really go to Brazil, and I heard that the scenery there is beautiful. ”

Li Yi nodded, since he wants to go, take the time to go, although Jingcui Liangyuan doesn't pay much attention to crystal jewelry, if he can really get back a large number of high-quality rough stones, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to digest them.

A few people started from the entrance, looking down one by one, Li Yi silently calculated, although the rough stone he bought this time should be almost enough for a store to sell for a year and a half, but like this kind of natural gemstone, even if you hoard more goods, you will not lose, so you should still be able to buy it, and you can collect it, anyway, those good things he doesn't want to be cheap to others.

After looking at a few stalls, Li Yi roughly figured out the price here, on the whole, it is cheaper than those shops and workshops, but everyone's eyes are bright, and the rough stones with good color are the same everywhere, so there is no such thing as cheap!

Along the way, he found that people who bet on crystals are generally more rational than those who bet on wool, and if they bet on wool, the materials with good performance of the leather shell will soon be bought, and sometimes there will even be several scrambles. And here, it is relatively polite, many people should be optimistic about the material, but they would rather turn around twice more than make a move.

Just thinking about it for a while, he understood the truth, which is related to the profit margin of the two. Bet on jadeite, if you bet on a better piece of material, you can make people rich instantly, and bet on crystal, unless it is like him, you can really bet on the rare best, otherwise, you can only make a small profit, so you can't be so crazy.

I looked at more than a dozen stalls along the way, and Li Yi only made a total of 3 shots during this period, while Lu Ningshuang only asked the price, but he didn't buy a single piece.

"Li Yi, what do you think of this?"

The rough stones on the stalls are relatively scattered, so Li Yi can only see through one piece at a time. When he was studying a large piece weighing about 20 kilograms, Lu Ningshuang suddenly picked up a piece of rough stone and sent it to him.

It was a very small piece of material, only the size of a baby's fist, and a window the size of a copper coin had been rubbed out of the yellow purple skin, which should be a good amethyst from the window.

However, the color of this crystal is very dark, so even if it is illuminated with a flashlight, it is impossible to see through the internal situation, so Li Yi directly activated the spirit identification card.

"Huh?"

As soon as his eyes saw through, he sighed lightly, the color of this piece of material seemed to be a little wrong!

The color of this crystal, because the window is too small, is purple no matter how you look at it, but once you see it through, Li Yi immediately found that this is not a pure purple, this color should be closer to blue, or to be precise, this should be a blue-purple crystal!

With such a small material and a separate place, Li Yi was generally too lazy to look at it, but he didn't expect that there was such a strange color here, and it even made Lu Ningshuang notice!

"I'm very sensitive to color, and it's because of this that Master was willing to teach me oil painting, how about it, can I buy it?"

Li Yi nodded, this thing, if it is carved into a small flower-shaped pendant, I don't know how beautiful it should be, why can't I buy it?

Using the price of buying ordinary amethyst to pocket the small rough stone, Lu Ningshuang's face smiled, but after a moment, he became worried again,

"With such a precious crystal, I don't have to worry about who to carve it! Li Yi, is Uncle Hu really going to seal the knife? ”

Li Yi blinked,

"It's no problem to seal the knife, go back and let him design it, and we'll find Van Cleef & Arpels to process it!"
