Chapter 428: Sky-high jade
Amid the quarrel between two old rivals, the grinding wheel "buzzed" again. When he learned that what he was unraveling was actually a legendary piece of superb jadeite, the calcite worker was so excited that his hands trembled.
He knew very well that as long as he could completely unravel this piece of superb jadeite from the rough stone today, then he would become a gold medal calcite master in this calcite field!
There is no doubt that the birth of this superb jadeite will not only make this jadeite rough processing factory famous, but also the person who has personally solved the best jadeite, will also become the most popular calcite master.
There is no one who gambles on the stone is not superstitious, which stone solving machine has solved the rough stone that has risen sharply, which master has personally solved the high-grade jade material, that will definitely be sought after by superstitious gambling stone lovers, just hope to get a little luck from this machine and this stone solving master, and the next person who gets rich overnight may be his turn!
Fortunately, the psychological element of this stone solver is not bad, and after being a little excited, he quickly took a few deep breaths to gradually calm himself down, otherwise why would this hand be so trembling, he really didn't dare to solve this rough stone. To know...... This is what Mr. Xiao called the best of the best, the so-called super best jade! Such a valuable thing, it must be calculated by milligrams, if in the process of calcing stones, as long as the hands of this calcite worker are so trembling, maybe hundreds of thousands, or even millions of jadeite will be cut by him...... Then he can't afford to pay even if he smashes the pot and sells iron!
As soon as the two jewelers heard that the stone dissolving machine was turning, they immediately shut up, and began to devote all their mental attention to the rough stone, they were even more nervous than Jiang Shaoyou, the owner of the rough stone, for fear that the stone solving worker would break the jadeite material, staring at the rough stone under the grinding wheel, at most every minute, they would remind the stone solver to stop the machine, carefully observe the grinding place, make sure that there was no damage to the jadeite material, and design the angle of the next friction. will let the calcite workers continue to work.
Soon...... The small outline of the exposed blue ocean of glass was almost visible, and it was about the size of an egg. Wu Junxian saw that the volume of this piece of jade did not seem to be large, and immediately showed a disappointed look.
Although I have long guessed that the size of the best jadeite is generally not large, it seems that the volume of this piece is also a little smaller, and it is estimated that it is not even the size of a fist, and it is not even possible to take out a bracelet. Although the small size of the best jadeite is also the best jadeite, it still has the value of hype, but this value is probably going to be greatly discounted!
But soon, before this small piece of superb jadeite could be taken out, the shadow of the second piece of superb jadeite was revealed. The quality of these two pieces of jadeite is almost the same, and they both belong to the blue ocean of the glass species, and the thick sea blue color comes into the eyelids, which suddenly makes the surrounding onlookers let out a series of exclamations again.
And the happiest people are none other than Wu Junxian and Old Man Xiao, after all, now the two of them have the idea that this superb jadeite is bound to win, but if there is only one piece of jadeite, one of the two will definitely fail. But since there are two pieces...... Then they are likely to have a happy outcome. I just don't know the size of the newly discovered piece of jadeite, if this piece of jadeite is large enough, then there will be a strict problem...... The two of them must be hoping to get that larger piece of the best jadeite, so they will inevitably have to fight for their heads!
The grinding wheel on the machine was still spinning, Zeng Zijin quietly dragged Jiang Shaoyou aside, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, listen to what they mean, the jade you solved this time should be a very rare kind?" Right? Or...... It's these two pieces of superb jadeite, I'll buy one of them! ”
Jiang Shaoyou frowned slightly, and said, "Aren't you going to get a piece of jade and carve it into an ornament for your old man as a birthday gift?" But these two pieces of jadeite don't seem to be large, and if you want to carve them into ornaments, I'm afraid it's not suitable! ”
Zeng Zijin hurriedly said: "But this is the best jade!" Since this thing is so rare, doesn't it seem decent for me to give it as a gift? ”
Jiang Shaoyou shook his head and said: "Although these two pieces of superb jadeite are indeed very rare, the problem is that you are going to give them to the old people in the family, so you have to send them in the right way!" If it is the birthday of the female elders of your family, it is very suitable to carve a bracelet with this piece of superb jadeite as a congratulatory gift, but it is not good to give it to the male elders! Don't worry, isn't there still a few rough stones that have not been unlocked, there will always be suitable jadeite carvings, you can rest assured...... This matter is wrapped up in me, if you really can't touch it today, I will go to Kunnan and help you gamble back when I have time! Well...... When is your old man's birthday, it should be in time, right? ”
Zeng Zijin nodded and said: "There is still a month and a half left in my old man's birthday, and the time is not particularly tight, but ...... Even if you find a suitable piece of jadeite material, don't you have to find a good jade carver to carve it out? Therefore, this time is not too lenient. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Shaoyou smiled and pointed to the machine, and said, "Isn't the jade carver ready-made!" I heard that Mr. Xiao is a very famous jade carver in China, and you only need to find him when you have the material when you turn around! ”
Zeng Zijin scratched his head and said, "But I'm not familiar with him!" Otherwise...... Can you help me ask him? I think he seems to have a crush on you and is very interested in you! ”
Jiang Shaoyou shook his head and said, "He doesn't have a good impression and interest in me, but he is interested in good jade materials!" Don't worry, as long as we can find a piece of material that will interest him, then even if I don't ask him...... He'll beg me to give him the piece to carve it! ”
Zeng Zijin nodded again and again and said, "That's good...... Anyway, I don't understand this, boss, you can help me take care of it! ”
Under the watchful eye, the blue sea of two glass species was finally unraveled from the thick stone shell and placed in a stainless steel tray, which was so dazzling that the onlookers couldn't stop smacking their tongues, as if they wanted to pounce on it and hold it in their arms and bite it twice! Some WeChat influencers have long been eager to take out their mobile phones, take pictures of the two beautiful jades, and post them on WeChat. I believe that the news of the birth of this superb jade will soon be spread under the rush of good deeds!
After Wu Junxian and Old Man Xiao took out the materials, they had already taken calipers to measure the size of the two pieces of materials. And Mr. Xiao even took out a notebook that he carried with him, and used a pencil to draw coils of various patterns on it...... When he was finally willing to put the book away, it was estimated that how many pieces of jewelry could be made from these two pieces of material had been calculated by him!
It's just that after Old Man Xiao put away the book, his face became difficult to look at, and his eyes looked directly at the two pieces of superb jade in the stainless steel plate, and his old face was already so entangled that he was about to wring out the water.
Although Wu Junxian is not a jade carver, it is impossible to directly draw the design of jewelry processing when he sees the real thing like Old Man Xiao, but he often goes to the market to buy jadeite raw materials, and he is also trained to have a sharp eye, at least how many pairs of bracelets can be taken out of a piece of material with a known volume, he can still calculate. As for the rest, if he can make the most use of other leftover materials and make the most scattered jewelry, Wu Junxian doesn't know, but this does not prevent him from estimating a vague value of a piece of material.
After probably calculating the value of the two pieces of jade material, Wu Junxian raised his head triumphantly, looked at Old Man Xiao, who was still entangled there, and said, "What...... Is Old Man Xiao worried about the money he has in hand? Hehe...... In fact, this problem is also very easy to solve! As long as Mr. Xiao, your appetite is not so big, and you can digest as much food as you have a big belly, isn't it over? ”
Of course, Old Man Xiao understood the meaning of Wu Junxian's words, but he didn't reply, just glanced at him, and then continued to stare at the two pieces of jade in the stainless steel plate, and he didn't know what he was muttering.
Seeing this, Wu Junxian had no choice but to continue to persuade: "Look at it...... This relatively large blue ocean can probably take out six or seven bracelets, as for how many trinkets can be carved from the remaining materials, I don't know this very well, you are always an expert in this area, I naturally will not work on axes. But I'll just calculate the trinkets made of these leftovers according to the value of the two bracelets. In this way, this piece of material can produce eight to nine bracelets! Well...... The value of a bracelet carved from jadeite like this is not very easy to estimate. At last year's Xingang auction, a superb jade bracelet made of glass imperial green was auctioned for a sky-high price equivalent to 19 million yuan. If you exclude the auction commission, as well as taxes, carving costs, normal operating profits and other factors, the actual cost price of the raw materials of this bracelet is about 12 million yuan, and nine bracelets are 100 million and 8 million! Of course...... This is just last year's market, today's best jadeite market continues to be bullish, the value is about 20 percent, and the blue ocean is also a very rare variety in the best jadeite, its value is estimated to be about 20 percent higher than the glass imperial green material. So do it...... So the approximate value of this piece of material should be between 150 million and 160 million, right? ”
Old Man Xiao glanced at Wu Junxian with a complicated expression and said, "Okay...... Your old boy is obviously not a jade carver, but he is also very good at it, and his calculations are really accurate! According to my calculations, if it is not at the expense of carving labor costs and normal operating profits, the exact value of this piece of material should be 158 million! And if such a finished bracelet of glass species blue ocean is auctioned at a large-scale auction, the transaction price may even exceed the 25 million mark! ”
