For Lan Chengyu, it is not a problem to see if there is jade in the stone, but the quality of the jade is difficult to judge, although he has read a lot of books, but the combination of theory and practice still takes time and experience.

These materials that have passed through the windows range from a few thousand to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, which is more risky for Lan Chengyu, who is not sure of the quality of jade, because he doesn't know whether the materials are worth the money to buy stones.

For him, buying the whole wool at a lower price is the least risky, anyway, these stones are the same in his eyes, and he can see clearly what is in them.

After looking around, among the hundreds of stones here, there are really not many decent jade materials. Lan Chengyu fancy a piece of rough stone about 60 centimeters, and another piece of emerald jade stone inside, presumably a piece of jade.

It is irregular in blocks, and it is difficult to identify the color of the jadeite seed water, and according to his theoretical knowledge, it should belong to the general glutinous ice species, and the color has a relatively bright light green.

Lan Chengyu pointed to the stone he liked and asked the boss the price, "Boss, how much is this piece." ”

The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he heard Lan Chengyu ask the price, he thought about it a little and replied, "This piece of 200,000 yuan, young man, you have a good eye, this piece is the old material in the old pit, and I still want to cut this stone myself." ”

Lan Chengyu's total funds add up to a little more than 50,000, and it is no fun to buy this stone, after some bargaining, the boss only let 20,000 at most, and said in a firm tone, "At least 180,000, and if it is less, I will keep it and cut it myself, I have always been very optimistic about this stone." ”

Lan Chengyu didn't know if the boss would really cut it himself, but he didn't have so much money now, so he couldn't take down the stone at all.

Lan Chengyu shook his head, then pointed to another smaller stone and asked, "How much is this one?"

"This piece is cheap, you want 30,000. The boss said with a smile.

Lan Chengyu also took a closer look at this stone just now, the diameter is less than 40 cm, the diameter of the jade wrapped in the stone skin is about 20 cm in size, most of them are on the small side of the stone, but the jade quality on this side is slightly worse, it should be a poor bean green species, although the jade quality is better than a few centimeters near the middle, some are like glutinous ice species, but this material accounts for very little, but this should be the core value of this stone.

After bargaining with the boss, the deal was sold for 22,000, and the boss asked Lan Chengyu if he wanted to open a stone in the store.

Lan Chengyu came here just to make money, and there was really nowhere to deal with it when he went back with the stone, so he agreed to the boss's proposal.

Regardless of the size of the stone and the price of the stone, there will be a lot of people excited to watch, and several regular customers of the boss will immediately come over to see, which is also the most exciting time in the process of gambling on the stone.

The boss asked Lan Chengyu's opinion, and Lan Chengyu didn't have any experience so he let the boss cut it.

This stone is not favored, the price is not expensive, the boss is a slightly larger end of the stone, and the knife is thicker.

"Young man, I think you are spending money to buy experience this time, although this stone is big, it is estimated that there will be no surprise. A middle-aged man said, with a lively expression in his eyes.

Lan Chengyu ignored him, watching the boss cut the stone, it had been cut in less than five minutes, and there was no trace of jade on the incision.

The middle-aged man who predicted just now smiled, "I'm right, fortunately, I don't have much money, so it's just a joke." ”

Lan Chengyu only smiled slightly and ignored this person, and the boss had seen too much about this kind of thing, so he didn't say anything, and slashed at the other end of the stone very skillfully.

The knife still didn't work, but the boss also hoped to cut something, so that not only the customers would be happy, but also the reputation of the store would be increased, and the business would be better.

This time, the boss seemed to have made up his mind and pointed the stone directly in the middle to the blade of the cutter, which was determined that the stone had no value.

Lan Chengyu saw it and hurriedly stopped, "Boss, wait, I want to start cutting from here." ”

Lan Chengyu drew a 5-centimeter strip of money in the middle of the stone, which was cut right from the edge of the best jade.

The boss looked at Lan Chengyu with some doubts, but said without any opinion, "No problem, you can cut it from anywhere." ”

After a few minutes, the stone was cut, and the boss rinsed the cut with water, and when the cut was fully revealed, someone had already shouted, "It looks like I saw green!"

The boss also faintly saw a little green incision and washed it again, this green shadow is about 2 to 3 centimeters, but it looks like the water is not bad, I really don't know what the situation is inside.

At this time, a regular customer of the boss said, "Young man, good luck, I will pay 50,000 yuan to buy your stone, are you willing to sell it?"

Lan Chengyu shook his head, although he didn't know much about the price of jade, but in his opinion, this piece of jade must be more than 50,000 yuan.

"This knife is green, the next knife is not necessarily, I will add another 30,000, 80,000 you can sell it or not, I also want to gamble. The man continued.

"I want to open it again, I don't want to sell this stone for the time being. "This is the first time Lan Chengyu has bought stones, and he doesn't want to give them to others.

The boss waited for the two of them to finish talking and asked, "Young man, do you want to continue cutting, or do you want to change hands?" ”

"Keep cutting, the boss will trouble you to help me open it all, and the salary can be calculated for you separately. Lan Chengyu said.

The boss is not verbose and began to slowly cut or rub the stone skin according to experience, when the middle jade quality is good to peel off a few centimeters, someone bid 200,000 to buy this stone, if according to this trend, the rest of the stone is like this, it is estimated that the value is close to 1 million.

Lan Chengyu didn't let go and let the boss continue to open, not that he thought the value of the stone would exceed 200,000, but that he wanted to buy the stone for the first time, or wanted to open it all to the end.

When the jade quality dropped sharply when it was opened to the halfway point, many people sighed that Lan Chengyu should have shot for 200,000 before, but this time it is estimated that it is not even worth 200,000.

The jade was completely cut out, the same as what Lan Chengyu saw, although some corners were cut off by the boss, Lan Chengyu was not surprised to see the true face of the jade, and the boss was speechless when he handed over the jade to Lan Chengyu, this young man is really calm enough, is he a veteran! But this age is not like it.

Lan Chengyu took the jade and looked at it carefully, it is true that only the few centimeters that have just been cut out are good jade, "Boss, do you collect jade here?" Lan Chengyu's purpose is to make money, of course he wants to make a move.

"Young man, someone just offered 200,000 yuan and you didn't sell it, it's a real loss. There's nothing to say now, your piece of material is all clear, and now I'm recycling 100,000, you can see how it is. The boss said with a smile.

Lan Chengyu just wanted to agree, but a regular customer of the boss said, "In this way, I will pay 120,000 yuan to collect this piece of material from you, and it is estimated that if it is processed into a finished product, it will be able to sell it for 1780,000 yuan, and I will earn more than 30,000 yuan for processing and store costs." ”

Lan Chengyu didn't know if what he said was true or not, but it was a good thing to be able to sell a little more, and the two quickly made a deal.

The boss smiled and said, "Yes, Lao Li, it's perfect for you to collect it, you specialize in jade jewelry processing and sales." ”

Lan Chengyu earned a total of 98,000 yuan minus the money he bought the stone, and all the funds on his body were less than 150,000 yuan, and he still couldn't buy the stone he fancied.

Lan Chengyu still followed the old method, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy the other 3 stones, and also opened the stone on the spot, in the process of opening the stone, someone offered a high price for him to change hands, but he didn't move, he still stubbornly opened it all, he didn't want to take advantage of people, and he didn't want people to take advantage of it.

A total of two pieces of jadeite were opened, the quality was average, it was a mid-range jadeite, and Lao Li, who had been watching from the sidelines, bought Lan Chengyu's stone at the market price for each piece he opened.

Lan Chengyu now has more than 400,000 funds in his hands, and the continuous gambling has attracted the envy of many customers, and the boss has also surrounded many guests at the door of the store.

Lan Chengyu paid 200,000 yuan to buy the rough stone that he had long taken a fancy to, and the boss also smiled a little excitedly, "Young man, you are also optimistic about this stone, I won't tell you that I have wanted to open it for a long time, but I have been hesitating, so where do you say where to go this time." ”

The boss already thought that Lan Chengyu was an expert at this time, and Lan Chengyu was not polite, and directly took a pen and drew a line on one-third of the stone.

"Cut straight from here. Lan Chengyu said.

"This cut is too thick, isn't it?" The boss hesitated, if he cut a good jade and damaged the whole jade, it would be a big loss.

Lao Li was silent on the side, he carefully observed this Lan Chengyu, he couldn't understand this young man's methods at all, saying that he was an expert, but this kind of sign showed that he was clearly a layman, saying that he was a layman, but he had a confident and determined temperament, and every time he estimated it was so accurate, was it all luck!

The boss and Lan Chengyu discussed for a while, and finally cut the knife according to Lan Chengyu's insistence, the boss cut very slowly, and observed the cutting for a while for fear of cutting a good jade.

After more than ten minutes, it was finally cut, and a long irregular green line appeared in the remaining two-thirds of the stone incision.

Many people exclaimed, thinking that this time it was a good jade again, and someone immediately offered a price of 2 million to buy, although they don't know whether the extension of this green façade is flake or spherical.

The boss's hand was also a little trembling at that time, this kind of water seems to be a very good glutinous ice species, but at this time this stone has been sold to others, and it is too late to regret it.

Lao Li, who was watching from the sidelines, was also a little excited, and hurriedly pulled Lan Chengyu over and whispered, "Young man, I don't think you should open here." In this way, you pull it back to open, or pull it to our company to open, there are many people here, and your piece of material is definitely not simple. ”

After speaking, he handed Lan Chengyu a business card, which was printed with "Millennium Ruixiang Jewelry", Lan Chengyu felt that this name was so familiar, but he forgot where he had heard of it.

Lan Chengyu wanted to exchange the stone for a deposit and deposit it into his account, so that his million deposit selection task could be completed, but there was a small piece of jade in this stone, and in his opinion, the quality was very good, but it was still difficult to estimate how much it was worth with his experience.

Lao Li saw Lan Chengyu's hesitation, so he said in a low voice, "That's it, someone just paid a price of 2 million, I will pay you 1 million first, we will find another place to untie the stone, the place can be chosen by you, and after the stone is opened, I will buy it at the market price, if the value is less than one million, you don't have to return the money to me, you see like this." ”

It seems that Lao Li is also very optimistic about this stone, Lan Chengyu thought that this million was earned anyway, and he didn't know the details of Lao Li, so he said, "Okay, I agree, but I'll take the stone back first, how about you come to me tomorrow, I'll stay in a nearby hotel." ”

After the two agreed, Lan Chengyu brought the open half of the stone back to the hotel. Back at the hotel, Lan Chengyu checked a lot of information on the Internet, and according to his own conservative judgment, the jade in this stone can be sold for at least 3 million.

Lan Chengyu's account already has 1 million transferred by Lao Li, and the deposit in the account has exceeded 1.186 thousand, and the million deposit task has been completed.

Just after 8 o'clock the next morning, Lao Li had already driven to the hotel where Lan Chengyu lived, and this time there were three burly young men with him, Lan Chengyu saw this posture and immediately knew that Lao Li was not a simple jade merchant, no wonder he dared to put the money into his account first.

"Young man, morning, today we will open this stone, do you have a suitable place? If not, you can go to our company, my young owner also wants to meet you, a master, you can rest assured that our company is a well-known large company here, and absolutely guarantees your safety and interests. Lao Li said politely.

Lan Chengyu knew that it was estimated that it would be the same everywhere in this place, and that people were the head snakes of this area, so it was better to be refreshing, so he said, "Then it would be better to go to your company." ”

"Okay, then we'll go over now. Lao Li smiled happily.

Lao Li arranged for three strong men to move stones, Lan Chengyu and Lao Li got into the car, and on the way he kept thinking about where he had heard the name of Millennium Ruixiang Jewelry, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.
