Chapter 759: A Shocking Discovery
After Xu Youhai finished speaking, the others also stepped forward to take a look at the piece of wool.
Wan Qianjun retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "This piece of jade is really bad enough, it is actually a horse tooth species." â
Horsetooth jadeite is a low-grade jadeite that doesn't have much value, and when it comes to it, this jadeite is actually a less common jadeite variety, and most people don't know much about this strangely named jadeite species.
Although the texture is fine, it is opaque, and the jargon says that there is not enough moisture or the water head is short, and it looks like porcelain. The color is white and gray as the base, most of them are green, the tone is simple, can be mixed with light green, brown and other colors, opaque.
This kind of jadeite looks good roughly, but it is colorless and seedless, and it cannot produce the best jadeite, and if you look closely, you can see that there are very thin white stripes in the green. Generally, it will be made into simple jadeite jewelry, and when buying board fingers, cigarette holders and snuff bottles, you will often hear merchants say that this is horsetooth jadeite.
Of course, Yi Hongguo also knew about the horsetooth jadeite, and he said to Xu Youhai with a smile: "Since there is jadeite, it means that there are likely to be mineral veins here, which will solve your urgent need!" â
"This is what you don't understand, such a jadeite rough stone is not a large-scale appearance, how can it prove that there are veins here!"
Xu Youhai continued: "Besides, even if there are ore veins here, if they are all similar to the horse tooth species, then they will definitely not even be able to recover the mining costs, and I might as well directly treat them as waste mines." â
The mining cost here is really high, Xu Youhai has introduced it just now, saying that it was purchased from the mine, and now it has been mined for three months, and the money to buy the mine is now. Coupled with the labor cost and the mining equipment, he has spent about 500 million RMB of rice yuan.
So much money spent. If a good vein cannot be found in time, or only a poor vein is found. That's really a loss of money to grandma's house.
Thinking of his very reckless investment, Xu Youhai looked sad again.
"Uncle Xu, why does it seem like there's a cave over there?" At this time, Chu Chen pointed to a place in the northwest and asked.
Xu Youhai perked up a little spirit, and when he saw the location of Chu Chen's finger, he explained: "That is the place where Gula was mined before, and it has penetrated more than 20 meters into the mountain, and then we dug down another meter, and all the mined materials are waste. Just skipped that range. â
"Then why didn't you dig a few more meters down in the first place?" Yi Hongguo asked.
Xu Youhai said helplessly when he heard this: "After digging more than 20 meters, there is not a single trace of jadeite, how likely do you think there are still zĂ i veins below?" If you're going to gamble, I think you're going to have to go bankrupt. â
Yi Hongguo said with a smile: "It's impossible to say the possibility, if you dig a little more, it will blossom and bear fruit!" â
Xu Youhai pursed his lips and said, "Come on, you are not Xiao Chen, if Xiao Chen says so, then I will definitely dig down again!" â
Hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly said, "Uncle Xu." I've only read one or two books about this gambling mine, and I don't have any actual combat experience at all, so don't put the treasure on me! â
"Xiao Chen, why don't you try your sixth sense?"
In addition to the need for knowledge, gambling is not only a matter of knowledge. In addition, experience is definitely essential, but for Xu Youhai now, it is completely a dead horse as a live horse doctor. As long as he can finally dig up high-quality ore veins, he dares to try anything. So he said this sentence that made everyone cry and laugh.
Zhao Qirui shook his head and said with a smile: "I said Xiao Xuzi, you are in a hurry to go to the doctor!" â
Xu Youhai smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry!" Honestly. If Xiao Chen really helped me find the ore vein, then I would definitely give twenty percent of the dry shares, and I can guarantee with my personality that I'm not kidding! â
When everyone heard Xu Youhai say this, they were all stunned, you must know that if you can really find high-quality ore veins, the value of these 20% shares will be calculated at least in 100 million. From Xu Youhai's words, it can be seen that he should indeed be very anxious in his heart.
Yi Hongguo immediately said jokingly: "Senior brother, what are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up and use your fiery eyes to see where there will be ore veins here?" â
Chu Chen waved his hand again and again: "Senior brother, don't be joking, let me gamble on stones, but I really don't have the ability to gamble on mines!" â
Having said that, in fact, Chu Chen had indeed been using his treasure sense to probe the place they had just passed by during this time, and so far, he had not felt any traces of mineral veins. Besides, his treasure jue is only five meters, and the place beyond it can not be detected at all, and there is nothing he can do about the jade veins that are often tens or even hundreds of meters deep, and he is doing this now, it is only better than nothing.
Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "Okay, don't be kidding, let's go and see the pit now, and after reading it, let's eat, this road is not good but also has a benefit, it helps digestion, and I am almost hungry now." â
Everyone laughed, and then walked towards the mine.
In fact, this pit is really not very interesting, and when you walk inside, you can see that the surface of the rock wall is all bare gray-white stone. And this place is not naturally formed, so there is no beauty to speak of.
Everyone walked to the end of the mine, and when they were about to go back, suddenly Chu Chen stumbled, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he almost nodded and hit the rock wall.
Seeing this, Zhao Qirui hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Chu Chen's face that seemed to be a little pale from fright, and asked with concern, "Xiao Chen, are you okay?" â
Chu Chen shook his head, pointed to a stone on the ground, and said, "It's okay, it's just that I didn't see it clearly just now and tripped over the stone." â
In fact, the current Chu Chen is calm on the surface, but in his heart he is like the stormy waves.
Just now, he subconsciously used Baojue to investigate while walking, at first Baojue was the same as before, there was no reaction at all, but when he walked to the end of the mine, Baojue suddenly vibrate, and what he didn't expect was that the Lingbao Eye suddenly opened when he didn't use it at all.
In an instant, Chu Chen "saw" that there seemed to be a sea of green in front of him, but this scene was just fleeting, and then, his head seemed to be knocked with a hard blow, and there were little stars in front of him, and then he stumbled and stumbled on the stone.
Fortunately, this feeling is also fleeting, otherwise Chu Chen felt that he was likely to faint directly, not to mention, and would directly hit the rock wall. But even so, the feeling made his face pale.
Fortunately, the light in the mine was a little darker, and he could adjust his face to normal during the time he walked out of the mine, otherwise the others would definitely find it strange.
At this time, Chu Chen said that there was no problem, and at the same time, he was thinking about what was going on just now. After thinking about it, he felt that it should be because Bao Jue had detected the ore vein, and he now needed the kind of aura in the jade very much, so the Spirit Treasure Eye was activated by itself.
Of course, now is not the time for him to think about this issue carefully, the main thing is that the big green picture is too attractive. The green thing, needless to say, he knows, is undoubtedly jade.
Moreover, now that he thinks about it, most of those jadeites have reached the mid-range or above, so he can't estimate how much a large piece is worth, is it 3 billion RMB, or 5 billion?
Thinking of this, even Chu Chen, who doesn't care much about money now, is a little itchy, but now there is a biggest problem in front of him, even if he knows that there will be jade here, what can he say?
Could it be that Xu Yousheng said that he saw a high-quality vein five meters below? This is obviously impossible. Is that still like the previous piece of "Five Blessings", saying that it feels like it?
Chu Chen shook his head secretly, he felt that if he still talked about things by feeling, it would be too risky, you know, the value of this jade mine is immeasurable, and there may not be anything good, let him feel it, right? How could it be that no one was suspicious of him?
Just as Chu Chen was thinking about what a good way to solve this matter, Zhao Qirui next to him said, "Ah Chen, let's go out first!" â
Chu Chen came back to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly replied, "Okay......"
At this time, he happened to see the stone that tripped him just now, and because of his good eyes, he could roughly see some characteristics of this piece of wool.
I saw that the color of this stone is similar to the rock wall next to it, it is gray-white, the length is about 40 centimeters, and one side of the stone has been cut off a quarter of its size, but it does not look like a trace of a cutting machine, it is likely to be cut off during the mining process.
Zhao Qirui had just taken a few steps, and felt that there was no movement behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that Chu Chen was still standing in place staring at the stone that tripped him just now, and finally squatted down to look at it, so he joked: "Ah Chen, why are you still looking at that thing, is it possible that you still want to find it for revenge!" â
Chu Chen raised his head and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't say it, I really want to take revenge, I'll cut it in a while!" â
When everyone heard Chu Chen say this, they were all surprised, Xu Youhai hurriedly rushed to Chu Chen's side, and immediately carefully observed the stone with a flashlight, but after looking at it for a long time, not to mention anything special, he felt that this thing was not jade wool at all, just an ordinary stone.
"Xiao Chen, I don't see anything special about this thing at all!" Xu Youhai asked suspiciously.
Chu Chen smiled and said, "I don't think this thing is ordinary, but let me sell it first, and then I will cut it out, and you will know." (To be continued......)
