Chapter Twenty-Six: Ice Seed Flowers

In the five private houses, except for the security guards who live at the door, the rest are processing workshops, and there are large piles of all kinds of rough stones in the yard, including all blocked wool, half-gambling materials that have been opened through the windows, and open materials that have been cut. Xie Bin saw at a glance that it was a world of jadeite.

Well, Xie Bin really hasn't seen so many jade materials, and there are almost hundreds of large and small pieces in this yard, which is enough to surprise Xie Bin. Especially the materials that have been cut, the green materials inside make Xie Bin's eyes shine, as if these are not green jade, but red banknotes.

In fact, it is almost the same, most of these jade materials are clear materials, and some of them are half-gambling materials with open windows, and there are relatively few materials for full gambling. In the past two years, because Myanmar has banned the export of jadeite rough, these rough traders have been hoarding raw materials, and even if they are taken out, the price is extremely expensive. And these jadeite merchants in the middle and lower reaches either wholesale finished jewelry directly from the upstream, or buy some clear materials back and process them themselves. Although the cost is higher, the risk is relatively small.

Although the price of the whole gambling material is not outrageous, but the risk is very large, maybe the one hundred thousand yuan invested in the purchase is a piece of scrap, so in the jewelry store that does not have those gambling stone masters, most of them spend a lot of money to buy the material.

And the materials in Li Xiaojun's house were all bought from GD at a high price, and the materials Li Xiaojun bought were purely for him to have fun. That kind of brick material is all picked by others, and then bought by the kilogram to fool people. Of course, these materials are not without good goods, but they are generally not big, and there is no good performance, and the general big businessmen do not look down on these materials, only small traders will take them at a low price, and then make some difference.

The one Xie Bin picked out from these bricks was already one of the largest of all Li Xiaojun's stones, and the smallest was not even the size of an egg.

Seeing Xie Bin's shocked look, Li Xiaojun smiled and said, "Look stupid?" ”

Xie Bin woke up and nodded, "Yes, I really didn't expect your family to get so much material, I'm afraid these in the courtyard alone will cost tens of millions, right?" ”

Li Xiaojun nodded, "Yes, jadeite jewelry has been very popular over the years, especially the self-processed one, in which the profit is very high, so my old man dared to take out such a large amount of money and throw it in exchange for so many materials." ”

Xie Bin sighed enviously, "It's really a big deal." ”

Who knows that Li Xiaojun smiled bitterly: "Dude, you are sarcastic about me, what is this, put it on the GD side, this money is not worth a piece of excellent material, a few years ago in Myanmar, a piece of material shouted out a reserve price of 30 million euros, and the transaction price was as high as more than 40 million euros, euros!" When he said the word euro, he deliberately accentuated his voice.

Xie Bin naturally knows these stories, and he searches them all on the Internet, but what he sees on the Internet is the same thing as what he sees with his own eyes. I heard on the Internet that the jadeite worth three or four hundred million yuan brought the shock was not as good as the tens of millions of ordinary materials in front of me.

Just like a check of 20 million, the impact is far less than that of 2 million cash, for a person like Xie Bin who has never seen any big scenes, 2 million and 20 million are just big numbers, as for how big it is, this is something Xie Bin has never imagined.

In addition to the two security guards guarding the gate, there are four or five workers in the courtyard who are cutting stones and carrying materials. These materials are as small as a dozen kilograms, and as large as hundreds of kilograms, some have already drawn cutting lines, and some are being cut. Several workers went their own way and did not react to the arrival of Li Xiaojun, a small boss.

It wasn't until after entering the room that an old man in his sixties smiled at Li Xiaojun, "Xiaojun is here, na, today cut out a piece of ice seed material, floating flowers, very good." ”

Xie Bin was stunned when he listened to it, ice species floating flowers? I saw on the Internet that in those shops, such materials are more than 10,000 ordinary ones, hundreds of thousands of them at every turn, and if the color is better, millions are normal. Isn't that a fortune?

Looking at Li Xiaojun again, he was also overjoyed to hear the news, "Really, let me see," he said and smiled at Xie Bin: "I'm lucky today, I can see the good material of ice seed floating flowers, my family has been open for several years, and the last time I saw it was a few years ago." ”

Under the leadership of the old man, several people went up to the second floor, and after passing through the two-story security door, a warehouse that was not too big appeared in front of Xie Bin. There are also several cameras hanging in the corners and doorways of the house, and everyone's every move is monitored, and an alarm can be seen, like a heavily guarded treasure room.

In fact, it was about the same, the old man opened one of the small safes and carefully took out a piece of transparent material.

At a glance, seeing this piece of ice seed floating material, Xie Bin was firmly attracted. The ice species is second only to the glass species of high-grade jadeite, and although this floating flower is not as green as the full green, it is also very beautiful. In particular, this piece of material can occasionally see a hint of blue in the dots of green, and there is a dreamlike beauty against each other. In the translucent material, it seems that there is a starry sky.

After a long while, Xie Bin sighed: "It's so beautiful!" ”

Indeed, apart from sighing and being beautiful, Xie Bin really couldn't think of any other adjectives. In contrast, the piece of material that Xie Bin opened, although the color is quite strong, but there is no such translucent base, and it looks a lot lower.

Li Xiaojun carefully turned this thin piece of material, put it on the table on the side, took out a strong flashlight and shone it on it, under the illumination of the strong light, it seemed that the whole piece of jadeite had become a bright light source, exuding a warm and intense color, and the green floating flowers inside the jadeite also looked more and more crystal beautiful.

Xie Bin looked at this beautiful jadeite, stretched out his hand and touched it gently, and his ability quickly penetrated into the material of this ice seed floating flower.

The texture of the ice seed is obviously more delicate than that of the oil green seed, but there are some irregular flocculent clumps dotted in between, which are different from ordinary impurities, these embellishments are another feeling, and the same delicate is another structure, which seems to have something more. When he understood that it was these floating flowers, Xie Bin realized that there was a difference in the structure between the colored part and the non-colored part of the same stone.

And when I felt it again, the green part and the slightly blue part were a slightly different feeling, Xie Bin felt it carefully, and he almost closed his eyes.

Soon, Xie Bin, who was intoxicated by it, quickly ran out of abilities. Taking a breath regretfully, Xie Bin withdrew his hand and smiled at Li Xiaojun and the old man on the side, "I have never seen such a beautiful jadeite." ”

Li Xiaojun laughed and expressed his understanding, "Speaking of which, this kind of jadeite is already very high-end in the general jewelry store, like the legendary imperial green, which is really rare but not sought, and many people who play jadeite may not be able to encounter a piece of imperial green material in their lives." ”

The old man on the side also nodded approvingly, "I've been playing jade for more than 40 years, and I've only seen the real imperial green once, and I saw it in YN more than ten years ago, it's so beautiful, but unfortunately I can only look at it, and I haven't even touched it." ”

Xie Bin listened to it, but he didn't believe in evil, and with the help of his ability, couldn't he buy a piece of the best jadeite? Xie Bin is just starting out in the industry, and he doesn't know how rare the best jadeite is.

The three of them reluctantly put the jade back in the safe, locked the door, and returned to the first floor.

Li Xiaojun introduced to the old man: "Uncle, this is the friend who cut out the oil green seed material, I can't see it," and then introduced the old man to Xie Bin: "This is my uncle, and these stones are under his control." ”

Xie Bin nodded and shouted, "Uncle." "This is also the customary name of people here, in the face of strange and unfamiliar elders, they all call 'uncle'.

The old man nodded and smiled: "Young and terrifying, I have seen that piece of material, such a thick skin, no performance at all, how can you be in love at a glance?" There is also the technique of cutting the stone and the position chosen when the knife is cut, but it doesn't look like a novice at all, and the line is not even drawn. ”

Xie Bin was glanced at by the old man's smiling eyes, and his heart trembled, as if the little secret in his heart had been discovered. However, Xie Bin has never seen any kind of person, and he doesn't explain, he just shrugs his shoulders and smiles: "You're really right, you're a novice." ”

The old man naturally doesn't get to the bottom of it, the most taboo in this line is these, after all, this is likely to be someone else's ability to survive by eating, and if you ask it tightly, it will be troublesome if you make people unhappy.

The three of them came to another room, there were also two stone cutters in this room, and a young man was drawing lines, and when he saw Xie Bin and the three of them coming in, he stood up and called the old man "Master", and then called Li Xiaojun "Brother Li", and then smiled at Xie Bin, without words.

Li Xiaojun smiled and nodded: "Xiao Wang, where is the material for the oil green seed the day before yesterday?" ”

The young man known as Xiao Wang hurriedly pointed to a piece of material behind him and said, "Here, Brother Li, you commanded, I didn't move, just drew a few lines." ”

Li Xiaojun nodded and smiled at Xie Bin: "How is it?" Why don't you try it yourself? ”

Xie Bin was moved when he heard this, but he thought that he was just a novice, and if something went wrong, it would be troublesome, so let's honestly watch others do it. Thinking of this, Xie Bin shook his head: "Don't, Brother Li, I'm just a novice, don't dare to play like this, let's do it, I'll just take a look." ”

Li Xiaojun smiled, didn't force it anymore, and said to Xiao Wang: "Xiao Wang, then you can cut it." ”

Xiao Wang nodded, moved the stone to the machine and fixed it, then smiled at Xie Bin and the others, held the handle and began to cut. This piece of material is already completely transparent, a large window is opened, and there is a facet underneath, which just exposes both sides of this stone, and it does not hurt a little jade meat, no wonder the old man doesn't believe that Xie Bin is a novice.

Xiao Wang cut the stone there, and the old man explained on the side: "Although this piece of material is not a high-grade species, it is rare that there is no flaw, not only is there no white cotton, but there is not even a crack, which is very rare, you must know that there are several cracks in this stone, and one even walks over from the side." It's a pity that it's just an ordinary oil green seed, otherwise, it's no problem to add another zero to this price. ”

Watching Xiao Wang cut the stone into pieces, Xie Bin asked curiously, "Brother Li, why are you cutting them all into pieces?" ”

"Of course, it's bracelets," Li explained.

Xie Bin was stunned for a moment, looking at this thin piece, and sure enough, the thickness was just right to make a bracelet. Another estimate, if each piece can take out three or four bracelets, these six pieces can take out more than 20 pieces, plus the pendant carved out of the bracelet core, this can at least earn more than two or three hundred thousand, if the price is higher, it is not a problem to sell to four or five hundred thousand, in addition to labor costs and costs, the profit is as high as two or three times, it is really amazing.

Xie Bin didn't know that in addition to these colored parts, the non-colored parts could also be used. Like the texture of this stone, the small pendants made of the uncolored part can be sold for two or three hundred pieces each, and if they are processed and made into B + C goods, it is possible to sell them for four or five hundred or six hundred or even thousands.

You know, with the development of technology, not to mention white cotton, even those cracks may be disposed of for you, and the layman looks no different from the natural one.

Looking at the cut material, Xie Bin also felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't know when this stone would appear in front of the public. What's more, this originally inconspicuous stone brought Xie Bin a profit of 145,000 yuan, and also opened a door to Xie Bin for a bright future. This slightly dull oil green seed material seems to be much cuter in Xie Bin's eyes.

I sent a lot of photos with the camera on my mobile phone, and under the leadership of Li Xiaojun, I visited the rough stones, semi-finished products and finished products here. At the end, Li Xiaojun smiled proudly: "How is it?" Don't look at my family's total assets now, but just looking at the processing and trading of jadeite, it is a well-deserved first place in the island city, especially in the processing area. ”

Regarding Li Xiaojun's words, Xie Bin didn't know how to comment, it seemed that he was very arrogant, the island city was so big, and it had developed so fast in recent years, how could it be his family's turn? However, Xie Bin also knew that this was just his own speculation, perhaps because of the particularity of jadeite, it was really possible that he was the first in the island city. Therefore, Xie Bin could only smile slightly and did not make other comments. Suddenly remembering the Xingyu Jewelry he saw that day, Xie Bin opened his mouth and asked, "What is the Xingyu Jewelry in our island city, do you know?" ”

Li Xiaojun laughed, Xie Bin was inexplicable, and Li Xiaojun stopped for a long time, "Dude, you still don't know the name of my jewelry store after a long time?" Xingyu jewelry store was opened by my old man, you know? ”

Well, Xie Bin was surprised at this moment, and he believed Li Xiaojun's wild words just now. Although Xie Bin didn't pay much attention to the jewelry industry before, he heard a lot about the name Xingyu Jewelry. There are a lot of advertisements for Xingyu jewelry, in addition to the outdoor advertisements on the bus stop signs, there are advertisements for Xingyu jewelry during the prime time of TV and TV stations on the bus, which has a great momentum in the city.

Xie Bin only knew at this time that this inconspicuous-looking young man was actually the heir to the famous Xingyu Jewelry.

This Li Xiaojun seems to be wearing no different from Xie Bin, ordinary jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, the most eye-catching thing is just a watch on his wrist, and the car he drives is a modern SUV, and the highest is only about 300,000. This is already very good for ordinary people, but for this rich second generation with tens of millions or even more, it seems a little difficult to handle.

It is said that Xie Bin once saw a guy who made a fortune because of demolition, drove a Mercedes-Benz sports car on the street all day long to show off, and once hit a cleaner aunt, threw out tens of thousands of yuan in cash on the spot, and then walked away. Compared with these two boxes, the gap is too big.

However, the renovation of the old city has really transformed a lot of millionaires, even multimillionaires, and those who have several old houses have really become multimillionaires overnight. That's what I just said, he lives in a small fishing village by the sea, and because he is building a military port, the compensation is relatively high. That guy and his parents had a total of four homesteads, and they received tens of millions of compensation at once, which almost became a typical example in the local area, even in the city, you can often hear about this daimyo.

But don't look at this person who has so much money, buys a good car, and picks up beautiful women, but he is very stingy with his parents. only bought a small house of 60 square meters for his parents to live in, but he used the means to get the compensation money belonging to his parents into his own name, which can be regarded as a strange one.

Of course, this is just Xie Bin's own secret contrast in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. If Li Xiaojun knew that Xie Bin compared him to the nouveau riche, he might not have any reaction.

While the two were talking and laughing, Li Xiaojun asked casually, "Xiao Xie, do you know the eldest lady of the Xue family?" ”

Miss Xue? Xie Bin was stunned, "Is it Xue Yuying?" The only person he knows surnamed Xue is Xue Yuying, and he is also worthy of the title of eldest lady.

Li Xiaojun raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, pretending to be fierce and said, "Do you really know each other?" Explain quickly, what is the relationship? ”

Xie Bin thought of the beautiful Xue Yuying, and smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, it's just an ordinary friend." ”

"Cut, who is Meng," Li Xiaojun looked incredulous, but didn't ask any more. Li Xiaojun is very clear about the eldest lady of the Xue family. That eldest lady doesn't have a good face for ordinary men, whether it is those young talents with good manners, or rich children with a lot of money, they are all scum in front of him. It is not an ordinary thing to be an ordinary friend with her, not to mention that the gap between the identities of these two is so big, there must be something more secret.

Seeing that Li Xiaojun didn't believe it, Xie Bin didn't defend it anymore, not to mention, being misunderstood as a beautiful girl like Xue Yuying, Xie Bin was still a little happy in his heart.

Subsequently, Li Xiaojun asked Xie Bin to pick and choose from the pile of gambling materials to see if there was any good material. But Xie Bin's ability has been exhausted, and what can be seen there can only be regarded as an eye-opener.

After a long time, Li Xiaojun understood that Xie Bin was a pure rookie, and he couldn't even distinguish the skin of these wool materials, let alone the entrance of the field. However, he is still very envious of Xie Bin's luck, the first time he bets on stones, there are really few people who can bet on it.

Back in his rental house, Xie Bin couldn't calm down for a long time. The impact of the gambling stone on him was too great, and thinking of his own ability, Xie Bin felt that he was fully capable of breaking through. It's much better than lying here all day doing carving, and the money is definitely coming very fast. Just like the material of the ice seed floating flower that I saw today, according to Li Xiaojun, the net profit can reach tens of millions.

What is the concept of tens of millions? If Xie Bin can earn 500 yuan by carving an object, then he needs to carve 20,000 pieces. It takes Xie Bin one to two days to carve a work, and it takes more than 60 years to carve 20,000 pieces, which is still the result of doing nothing and doing carving wholeheartedly. And gambling stones, it only takes a short time to become a rich man.

However, although Xie Bin really wanted to try the charm of the gambling stone, he was a little worried, after all, his ability was very weak, if he rushed in, but there was no result, I was afraid that he would end up empty-handed. This is what Xie Bin is most worried about, so many years of hardship have made Xie Bin pay attention to leaving a way back for himself. After thinking about it, Xie Bin still couldn't make up his mind.
