Chapter 066: Net Profit of 800,000 (II)
The piece of jadeite that Yi Yang finally got in his hand was about the size of an adult's fist, roughly round, looking verdant and bright, crystal clear, and in very good condition.
"Brother Yi, congratulations again, this piece of jade you bet on is a fine piece of jade, which can make very beautiful things." Li Minjin congratulated Yi Yang with a smile.
"Thank you." Yi Yang smiled and thanked him, "Brother Li, thanks to you this time, you helped solve this piece of jade, if you don't have such a good craftsmanship, it will be really difficult to get it." ā
Li Minjin hurriedly shook his head and said, "You're polite, it's just a gesture." Who bets on the stone is not the key, the key is the quality of the stone, there is such a good piece of jade hidden in your stone, and it is the same for whoever solves it. ā
Yi Yang said: "That's different, there are good and bad stone solving techniques, and if the techniques are not good, maybe a good piece of jade will also be cut." ā
"Brother Yi, it's true, some stones are artificially broken." Bai Wenchao also accosted with a smile, "Brother Jin is a professional jade carver, of course his skills are very good, with his help, people can sit back and relax." ā
"Mr. Yi, I didn't see it clearly after the stone was cut just now." Xiao Yu, who was standing aside with a smile, suddenly asked, "Can you give me a good look?" I'll tell you the truth, it's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful jadeite rough. ā
At this moment, she also had a festive look, and it could be seen that Yi Yang's stone had risen sharply, and she seemed to be happier than anyone else, after all, this verified her conjecture at the beginning, and in the end, the stone really gave everyone a surprise, and it was a great surprise.
"Of course." Yi Yang nodded without hesitation, and then he handed the freshly baked jade to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu stretched out her hands to take it, and in an instant, the crystal jade and her white and slender hands contrasted with each other.
"It's so beautiful!" After taking the piece of jade that still had the heat of Yi Yang's palm remaining, Xiao Yu praised a little excitedly, "This piece of jade is uniform in color, verdant, and the bottom is so transparent, there is no crack or impurity, it must be a high-grade jade!" Brother, what level do you say Mr. Yi's jadeite belongs to? Is it ice-based? ā
Li Minjin nodded and said: "It is indeed a rare piece of good jade, it is very complete, there is no crack at all, and there are no obvious impurities." In my judgment, this piece of jade jade should have reached the ice level, at least close. Brother Yi, you can take out the material of a smaller bracelet from this piece of jade, and the rest of the jade material can be used to make other small pieces of jade. ā
He is a jade carver, and he can see the merits of the jade at a glance, as the so-called "jade is not cut, not into a vessel", a piece can only be carved into a vessel to achieve its maximum value.
But now that the jade has just been unlocked, Yi Yang doesn't have this idea, so he said: "Brother Li, if I want to use it to carve jade, then I'm afraid I have to ask you for help, I believe in your craftsmanship." ā
"Hehe, okay, I'll do my best then." Li Minjin smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Yi, thank you."
After admiring it for a while, Xiao Yu handed the piece of jade back to Yi Yang.
"You're welcome." Yi Yang hurriedly shook his head and said.
When he took the jade from Xiao Yu's hand, he could clearly feel the warm breath left on it, which was naturally transmitted from Xiao Yu's palm into the jade, which was equivalent to him indirectly shaking the other party's small hand, making him feel a strange feeling in his heart.
"Okay, Brother Jin, now that Brother Yi's stone has been unraveled, it's my turn, right?" Suddenly, I only heard Bai Wenchao say eagerly.
Li Minjin replied cheerfully: "No problem! Xiao Chao, Brother Yi has made a good start, and you have his good luck, so you should be able to gamble on these two stones. ā
"Let's hope it doesn't turn out too badly." Bai Wenchao said with a smile.
So they nervously invested in the cutting of Bai Wenchao's two stones, under Li Minjin's skillful gambling stone technique, the answer was soon revealed, the first stone cut by Bai Wenchao was obviously gambled, although a piece of green was cut inside, but the jade quality was very poor, and it was the kind that could not be taken.
"Hey~~" Seeing this, Bai Wenchao let out a long sigh, revealing a look of disappointment on his face.
Yi Yang and the others also felt very sorry for him, after all, the material of his stone was much better than Yi Yang's, but who knew that the result was like this, which was greatly unexpected.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Wenchao's gambling stone situation of the second stone became clear again, and the results showed that although the stone contained a relatively complete piece of jadeite, the color was very light and uneven, and the foundation was not very good.
In the blink of an eye, almost all the bets of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan were lost!
At this point, Bai Wenchao was completely disappointed, and his face was full of sadness.
In order to comfort him, Li Minjin said: "Xiaochao, don't be too disappointed, your two stones are actually useful, the first can be used to carve small ornaments, and the second can be carved out of jade." ā
"Hey~~" Bai Wenchao sighed again, "Nengdiao is also a substandard product, what I want to bet on is not such things!" ā
Yi Yang patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Brother Bai, just bet next time." ā
Hearing Yi Yang say that, Bai Wenchao lifted his spirits, shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, it's a little meaning, I don't know how many times I've lost before, the biggest loss is hundreds of thousands, it's only a few dollars, haha, how can you knock me down?!" It's just that I'm mentally unbalanced! Brother Yi, why is your luck so good?! A stone, or the kind of low-grade material that is close to the shit ground, actually gambled on such a beautiful piece of jade, the kind I had ever dreamed of! ā
"It's not my luck, it's everyone's blessing." Yi Yang smiled slightly, "You also know, I have never played gambling stones before, and today I was purely curious, so I gambled casually." ā
Li Minjin accosted: "Xiaochao, this is actually nothing to compare, for the average stone gambler, it basically depends on luck, otherwise there would be no 'gods are difficult to break the jade, the master often misses' This saying, you think about it, the master will inevitably miss the time, what is so strange about our ordinary stone gamblers losing?" ā
Under everyone's repeated persuasion, Bai Wenchao completely came out of the loss of gambling on two pieces of good material one after another.
"Xiaojin, Xiaoyu, it's so lively inside, what are you doing?"
At this moment, a man's voice came from the door.
At that moment, Yi Yang subconsciously turned his head to look, and what caught his eye was a tall old man.
The old man was about the same age as Mu Lao, in his seventies, but he looked burly and strong, giving people the feeling of being old and strong.
"Teacher Qiā"
When the old man walked in, Li Minjin and Xiaoyu greeted each other in unison, and they all looked very respectful.
"Master Qi-" Bai Wenchao also nodded respectfully at the old man, and pointed to Yi Yang, "This is my colleague, his name is Yi Yang, Uncle Hao sent us to your store to pick up that batch of ancient jade." ā
He casually made an introduction, and Master Qi looked at Yi Yang with a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Hehe, I know, Lao Hao has already told me, he is really a talent!" ā
"Hello, Master Qi."
When Master Qi approached, Yi Yang politely said hello.
Although he had never met Master Qi, he thought that the other party was so respected by Li Minjin and them, so he must be very important in this store, either the master or the big shopkeeper, and from the analysis of his last sentence just now, it should be the owner of the "Jade Fang" who has a good relationship with Uncle Hao.
"Hello. Brother Yi, welcome to come to our store often. Master Qi said enthusiastically.
Immediately, he glanced at the stone fragments on the workbench, as well as the two pieces of jade and jade that had just been cut before Bai Wenchao had time to put away, so he looked at Li Minjin and asked, "Xiaojin, it turns out that you are gambling on stones?" What's the catch? ā
Li Minjin hurriedly replied: "I solved a few stones for Xiao Chao and Brother Yi, these two are Xiao Chao's, the result seems to be relatively poor, and no good jade was solved, but Brother Yi's piece is different, he gambled on a very good piece of jade!" ā
"Oh, really?" Master Qi was surprised, and then his gaze turned back to Yi Yang's body, and he seemed to be a little curious and asked, "Brother Yi, what good jade have you solved?" Can you show it to me? ā
"Yes, you can." Yi Yang nodded without thinking, and then carefully placed the piece of jade he was holding on the table for Master Qi to see.
"Ah, it's really good!" Seeing this, Master Qi exclaimed in surprise and said, "The material of this piece of jade is very beautiful!" Brother Yi, what was the 'gambling goods' when you bought it? Spent a lot of money, right? ā
Li Minjin replied for Yi Yang: "Teacher Qi, no. Just now this is just an inconspicuous piece of wool, there is no jade on the shell, when the third knife is cut, a large piece of jade is produced, and the stone bought for only 5,000 yuan is now a big gamble! ā
"This jade stone only cost five thousand?!" Hearing this, Master Qi looked at Yi Yang in disbelief.
Yi Yang nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Master Qi." ā
"That's nice, discerning!" Master Qi glanced Yi Yang up and down as he spoke, and praised him while there was a look of amazement in his eyes.
After that, Master Qi said to Li Minjin: "Xiaojin, do you think that Brother Yi's jadeite can be used to carve that Pixiu?" I see that the material is almost there. ā
Li Minjin nodded in response: "Yes, it's very suitable!" Actually, I thought of this just now, but I was afraid that Brother Yi would need it himself, so I didn't mention it to him. ā
Before Yi Yang could understand what he said, Master Qi turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Yi, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if you can do me a favor?" ā
"Master Qi, please speak." Yi Yang said solemnly, "If I can help, I will do my best!" ā
"Jade Fang" and their "Gu Bao Zhai" frequent exchanges, Master Qi is a good friend of Uncle Hao, plus "Jade Fang" has so many like-minded young friends who get along very well, Yi Yang naturally feels more cordial, if he can help the shopkeeper Qi, then he is naturally obliged, because this can shorten the distance between him and the "Jade Fang" personnel.
In addition, he also has a selfish intention, that is, to get closer to Xiaoyu.
It is undeniable that he has a feeling of love at first sight for Xiaoyu, because the other party's beauty and that kind of elegant and demure temperament are very much to his liking.
In other words, Xiaoyu is the type of "dream lover" of his.
"My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good", of course he also wants to capture the hearts of beauties, even if it is not bad to make a confidante.
I only heard Master Qi say solemnly: "Brother Yi, here's the thing, we are looking for a jadeite rough stone, to carve a thing, it is a jadeite Pixiu, I look at the quality of your jadeite jade, I think it is very suitable for carving that thing." Hey, we've been looking for a long time, but we haven't found a piece, so I really want to accept your piece, but I don't know if you're willing to give in. If you are willing to give it to us, the price is easy to say, and we will definitely not let you suffer! ā
"I know this, it's just ......" Yi Yang hesitated.
He said: "Master Qi, it can be seen that you are sincere, then okay, I am willing to give you this piece of jade." ā
"Thank you so much!" Master Qi said with surprise and joy.
At the same time, Li Minjin and Xiaoyu, who were standing next to them, also showed extremely happy looks on their faces, and everyone's hearts were also full of gratitude.
Because Yi Yang's move was undoubtedly equivalent to "sending charcoal in the snow", he sent great news when they needed this jade the most.
"No thanks." Yi Yang said politely.
Master Qi smiled and said, "Then let's talk about the price first." Brother Yi, if you don't give a price, as long as it's suitable, that's fine. ā
Yi Yang shook his head and said: "Master Qi, the price is still open by you, I don't know anything about the jade market, I don't know how to set the price, and you are experts and know this matter very well, so you can just give a price yourself, I have the same idea as you, as long as it is appropriate." Everyone is now acquaintances, so don't be so polite, just give a real price. ā
"Brother Yi, you are really a refreshing person." Master Qi was pleased, "I like to deal with young people like you. Okay, I'll discuss it with Xiao Jin first, and I'll tell you the price later. You can also think about it first. ā
"Well, please." Yi Yang agreed.
Master Qi immediately pulled Li Minjin to the side, the two discussed in a low voice, and after a while, they walked back, and Master Qi said to Yi Yang directly: "Brother Yi, we have discussed it, for your piece of jade, in addition to the capital, we are willing to pay 800,000 more, that is, 800,000 and 50,000, what do you think?" ā
"Eight hundred thousand?!" When he heard Master Qi's offer, Yi Yang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the things he had collected for five thousand yuan, after being cut with just a few knives, actually turned into a piece of jade with a high price of nearly one million.
800,000 is undoubtedly a very high price, Yi Yang knew that Master Qi and Li Minjin would not treat him badly, so he quickly nodded and agreed categorically: "This price is okay!" Master Qi, I am willing to give this piece of jade to you! ā
"Then we're done!"
Master Qi stretched out his hand and shook Yi Yang's hand hard.
The deal is negotiated.
Yi Yang earned 800,000 at once!
