Chapter Twenty-Six: Priceless
Xie Bin used his own carving knife to see that this piece of bloodstone that was close to half blood was unraveled. It's really beautiful, this is Xie Bin's first impression. This stone is the size of a fist, weighing no more than 300 grams, but the lump of blood is nearly half stained. The bloodless part, the bright yellow stone is like pure meat jelly, and the surface does not need to be polished to emit a layer of faint wax, which looks very pleasant, and the bloody part occupies the other half of the stone, which is vermilion, just like the high-grade ink clay that Xie Bin bought. These two grow together, clear and natural, on the surface, it is very gratifying.
Beautiful things can always make people can't help but like it, especially the bloodstone selected by Xie Bin, which also has no flaws, no cracks, and no impurities. After all, Xie Bin has an ability to check, no matter what the color of the stone is, this texture is definitely the best. Flawed stones, Xie Bin doesn't think about them at all, no matter how good the stone is, if it has a crack, the value will be greatly reduced.
It is not impossible to make this stone into a large seal, but from the point of view of commercial value, it seems that the best plan is to break it down. How? Although Xie Bin has a good carving skill, he has little understanding of engraving.
Xie Bin can see the quality of the inscription, but he can't carve it manually, after all, the techniques and skills required to carve the seal are completely different from bamboo and wood carving. As for what to do with this stone, Xie Bin decided to listen to the opinions of experts after meeting the carver master before making a decision. It is said that people's treatment of bloodstone is generally carved with the shape, and good stones are not even carved, and only those flawed stones will be carved more to cover up and remove the flaws.
Xie Bin's stone, the whole body is bright, without the slightest flaw, although the blood color is not the best bright red, but it is solid and heavy, a little more simple and atmospheric, with translucent frozen stone, so that Xie Bin can't put it down. This bloodstone can become one of the three treasures of the seal stone, it does have its own unique charm, at least, Xie Bin fell in love with this piece of material at a glance.
Moreover, when Xie Bin cut just now, the touch of the alloy blade and the stone was very good, not like carving stone at all, but a little bit of wood delicacy and softness. In other words, the general stone is easy to crack when carving, that is, a knife down, the stone collapses a piece, and it is easy to damage the finished product of the carving. Bloodstone, on the other hand, is more susceptible to knives and is very carvable.
Wrapped up the bloodstone in a piece of silk and put it away, and Xie Bin took out the bloodstone he bought from Wang Ying.
This stone is not big, weighing only 100 grams, but the blood color can reach more than 95%, which is definitely a rare treasure. Xie Bin gently peeled off the thin layer of skin, revealing the true face of bloodstone.
Gently wipe off the stone chips, and the bright red blood color of the whole body comes into view, like a flowing blood, slightly shining with a bright red light, this is the best, the absolute best blood. And there is only a little bit of blood, it is still a small piece of stone comparable to Tianhuang stone, and it is also a little like chanterelle yellow in jadeite, and it is even more moving against the bright red blood.
At this moment, Xie Bin decided that no matter how much money others paid for this stone, he would not sell it. This is a good thing that can be used as a family heirloom, and it is not impossible to become a national treasure if it appeared in the former court. But then again, things now always have a measured value, if Xie Bin is really asked to make a price, Xie Bin dares to open a price of three or five billion. This fast stone is definitely a treasure among bloodstones, and it is not inferior to the pure "big red robe" or the three-color "Liu Guanzhang".
Xie Bin took out the bloodstone he had just unraveled, put it side by side on the table, looked left and right, and felt that these two stones seemed to be so beautiful and eye-catching. Of course, compared to the market price, it is still closer to full blood is more valuable. It's just that Xie Bin has already made up his mind, and these two stones are not used, and they are all carved into seals. Something so good, who wouldn't want to stay with them? It is said that this stone is also like a woman, and people always like to be beautiful. And the two pieces in front of Xie Bin, one is like a gentle and lovely little jasper, and the other is like a dignified and elegant lady, both of which are so fascinating.
It is no wonder that bloodstone is known as the "Queen of Printing Stones", and the gorgeous and magnificent colors of this bloodstone are indeed easy for people to associate with beautiful and moving women. If you compare these two stones with two women, Xie Bin feels that the half-blood piece is Liu Wenqing, although it is not the most beautiful, but it has her unique grace and movingness; And the one that is close to full blood is more like Xue Yuying, with a little liveliness in the atmosphere, dignified and not pressing. And both of these are easy to arouse people's desire to collect, at least Xie Bin.
Well, as for Li Jingjing, Xie Bin thinks that Hibiscus Stone is more suitable for her. After all, Li Jingjing has a strong personality, a light personality, and a beautiful appearance and unique temperament, which is very compatible with the characteristics of Hibiscus Stone's innocence and self-preservation. It is said that Hibiscus Stone is known as the "gentleman in the stone", and Li Jingjing's personality seems to be a gentleman, especially the intellectuality and independence they share.
Xie Bin took out the phone and called Xue Yuying, "Miss Xue, why are you here?" ”
"Go to work, you think they're all the same as you?" Miss Xue's anger doesn't seem to have subsided, Xie Bin rejected her kindness, so that she is still haunted after so many days.
Xie Bin naturally wouldn't touch such a bad head, and said hahaha: "Hahaha, what's that, get together at night?" ”
"What's the best of luck for you?" Xue Yuying snorted lightly and asked, "By the way, how is the matter between you and Yu Fei's family?" ”
Xie Bin sighed secretly, girl, you really can't open a pot, I don't want to think about it, you have to bring it up to me. However, Xie Bin still smiled lightly, "What does their family's affairs have to do with me?" ”
"What? I heard Yu Fei say, you are still her brother, why is it okay? Xue Yuying gossiped.
Xie Bin laughed and said, "What brother and sister, I'm not my grandfather's own grandson, I picked it up, and it has nothing to do with Yu Fei's family," he said impatiently and changed the topic: "What, don't come at night, I'm really treating, well, call Li Jingjing again, how about it?" ”
"Okay, it turns out that inviting me to dinner is just a pretense, and wanting to see Li Jingjing is the main purpose? Hmph, I want to eat crab roe and lobster at night, "Xue Yuying is such a smart girl, she quickly figured out Xie Bin's purpose, and took the opportunity to threaten her. However, she also muttered a little in her heart, Xie Bin didn't dare to speak to her in such an impatient tone before, he had always been very easy-going with a smile, but now listening to Xie Bin's tone, Xie Bin and Yu Fei's family are afraid that there is something unpleasant.
Otherwise, Xie Bin would be tempted by Xue Yuying? When I met such a caring woman, I'm afraid that Megumi Yanashita would also be tempted. If it were an ordinary woman, she would definitely gossip more about what happened to Xie Bin and Yu Fei and so on. And although Xue Yuying is also very gossipy and wants to know the inside story, this girl heard Xie Bin's unpleasantness, so she changed the topic with Xie Bin's words without a trace, and took the opportunity to tease Xie Bin.
In Xue Yuying's eyes, although Xie Bin has a few small money, he is definitely reluctant to really invite crab roe and lobster. Not to mention the lobster, the current crab roe costs forty or fifty pounds in the market, and it is even more expensive if you eat it in a restaurant; And what about the big lobster? It's pure luxury, and if it's longer, the price will be even more outrageous.
Xue Yuying thought that Xie Bin must be struggling with whether to invite crab roe and lobster for this meal, but she didn't know that Xie Bin's net worth was no worse than her Xue Yuying, let alone eating a big lobster, even if she ate it every day, she might not be able to eat Xie Bin. Not to mention the more than 22 million in the card, it is the two pieces of bloodstone in Xie Bin's hand, if you really want to make a move, it will be a sky-high price.
It's a pity that the more than 20 million can't be exposed for the time being, and these two pieces of bloodstone don't plan to be shot, Xie Bin has to continue to pretend to be his poor boy. However, Xie Bin, a poor boy, is also good enough, and he can get into the eyes of Xue Yuying and Li Jingjing. In other words, these two are both talented and beautiful, and they are both everyone's daughters, Xie Bin can make such two female friends, I have to say that Xie Bin has his ability. Of course, if he can turn a female friend into a girlfriend, it will prove his Xie Bin's greatness. However, it is obvious that the current Xie Bin does not have the courage for the time being.
In the evening, Xie Bin really found a big restaurant, a small island city restaurant, everyone in the island city knows that the seafood there is great, and of course, the price is also great. The people who went to the appointment were Liu Wenqing, Li Jingjing and Xue Yuying, this is not that Xie Bin is heavy on sex and light friends, he originally wanted to invite Li Xiaojun, but he thought that this buddy was busy getting engaged now, so he didn't bother him. Other than that, Xie Bin doesn't have any friends. If you have to count it, Old Man Wang is one, but obviously his old man will not come to this place to eat seafood with him Xie Bin and a few little girls.
Liu Wenqing's little girl was a little excited, following Xie Bin in the past few days can be regarded as a small eye-opener, and she has experienced a lot of things, but this big restaurant, the little girl is still the first time to come.
Xie Bin is not much stronger than Liu Wenqing, but he has been to Changle Villa anyway, and he has seen a big scene, plus he has money in his pocket, so he has confidence in his heart, not to mention that this restaurant is a five-star hotel, Xie Bin will not feel that there is anything wrong. Speaking of the courage of the rich man, this is true, if it weren't for Xie Bin's psychological quality, he would probably be no different from other nouveau riche. Once many people have money, they feel that money can be used to solve everything.
In fact, money does solve most of the world's problems, as long as you have enough money. But there are some things that money can't buy, such as a happy life and your life. This sounds very empty, especially the first one, most people will think that if I have money, my life will be very happy.
Is that really the case? Ask those rich people and see what they have to say, they are more envious of the ordinary people's plain life. Of course, this is also human nature, people without money can't understand the distress of rich people, and rich people can't understand the difficulties of having no money, and they envy each other's lives, which is normal.
Anyway, I watched a news two days ago, a rich disciple posted some life photos on the Internet all day long, but it was not to show off his wealth, it was just his life. He once said on his blog that I don't value money, I only value my relationship with my family. Then netizens complained, "You really don't have to pay attention to money, because your family's money is enough for you to live a luxurious life for several lifetimes." ”
Whether it is that the poor people can't eat grapes and say that the grapes are sour, or that the rich people moan without disease, this opposition always holds. No one is wrong, but the environment and conditions determine the way of thinking.
