Chapter 76: Chalcedony
Ma Kun, the person in charge of the jade trading market, is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a somewhat fat body and dark skin, and he does not look like a bastard person, but a real businessman.
Ma Kun is not only the head of this jade trading place, but also the largest jade seller here.
"Mr. Ye, do you have anything to do with me?" Ma Kun said with a smile.
"My little brother wants to buy some jade, but the amount needed is a bit large, so I want to trouble you, Boss Ma. Ye Jun pointed at Qin Tian beside him.
"Oh, I don't know what quality of jade this little brother needs, and how much jade will be in quantity? I still have a lot of jade stock here, which should be able to meet your needs, little brother. Ma Kun leaned back in his leather office chair.
"If this quality of jade is cut into jade pieces that are nine centimeters long, three centimeters wide, and one centimeter thick, how much will you charge for one?" Qin Tian put a piece of jade on the desk in front of Ma Kun, this piece of jade was a jade that he and Ye Jun bought on the way over.
Ma Kun picked up the jade and identified it, and said after a while: "This is a piece of medium-to-high-quality jade, I have a lot of inventory here, and your processing requirements are relatively simple, looking at Mr. Ye's face, I won't charge you more, a piece of such jade will charge you 100,000 yuan, I don't know how much you want?"
"One hundred thousand!" Ye Jun frowned slightly, and said: "Boss Ma, is this price a little higher? This quality of jade can't reach such a high price at all, and our processing is very simple, even if you add the processing fee, it is only fifty or sixty thousand yuan, and you are asking for 100,000 yuan now, and it will be nearly doubled directly, isn't it too expensive?"
"Hehe, Mr. Ye, you don't know, the production of jade has been a little low recently, and the price of jade has risen a lot, the asking price of 100,000 yuan is already for the sake of Mr. Ye's face, and I will offer at least 120,000 yuan for others. Ma Kun sat on the office chair and said for a long time.
"Forget it, little brother Qin Tian, let's go find someone else!" Ye Jun was so angry with Ma Kun that he didn't dare to offend Ma Kun, so he could only choose to leave.
"Mr. Ye, I am the person in charge of this trading market, you should know that as long as I open my mouth, you don't want to buy a piece of jade from someone else!" Ma Kun's voice sounded faintly.
"Ma Kun, you ......"
Before Ye Jun's words could be spoken, he was stopped by Qin Tian and said, "Brother Ye, forget it! We are here to buy jade, not to make trouble." ”
Then, Qin Tian looked at Ma Kun and said, "I want two thousand pieces of jade like this, a total of 200 million, I don't know when Boss Ma will be able to prepare the jade pieces for me?"
"Two thousand!?" Ma Kun sat up straight, the amount of jade Qin Tian wanted was beyond his imagination, originally he thought that the amount of jade Qin Tian needed would not be too much, but everything didn't expect it to be so much.
"What's the matter, you can't take it out, right?" Qin Tianhu looked at Ma Kun suspiciously.
"Joke! I'm the person in charge of this jade trading market, how could I not get such a bit of jade. It's just that the jade you want has to be processed into what you want, which takes a lot of time. Ma Kun seemed to be stimulated by Qin Tian's suspicious eyes.
"How much time?" Qin Tian asked.
"Two days, the day after tomorrow will be delivered to you!" Ma Kun said with two fingers.
"I'll give you another million processing fees, and I'll get the goods tomorrow!" Qin Tian said, if he could get the jade one day earlier, then he would be able to go back one day earlier and start arranging the transformation formation.
"Okay, we'll make a deal tomorrow afternoon!" Ma Kun gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, Boss Ma, our deal is agreed. Qin Tian stretched out his hand and shook Ma Kun's hand, "That's right, Boss Ma, I don't want any accidents to happen during the transaction." ”
"Don't worry, I'm a legitimate businessman and won't do anything that dissatisfies you. Ma Kun said with a smile.
"That's good, otherwise, I'm afraid that Boss Ma, you'll regret it then!" Qin Tian had a faint smile on his face.
Leaving 10 million as a deposit, Qin Tian and Ye Jun left Ma Kun's office.
"Boss Qin Tian, you are so at a loss, this Ma Kun is really too deceitful!" After leaving Ma Kun's office, Ye Jun said to Qin Tian.
"Forget it, money doesn't matter to me, what matters is the jade, as long as I can get the jade quickly, even if he blackmails some money, what is it. Qin Tian smiled faintly, "However, he'd better not make any small moves for me, otherwise I will definitely make him regret it!"
After solving the jade matter, Qin Tian and Ye Jun prepared to return to the hotel.
However, when Qin Tian and the others were passing by an area of the jade trading market, they suddenly heard a shouting voice, "It's up!
Qin Tian turned his head and looked over, only to see that it was a wide flat land, and there were many large and small stones placed on this flat land, and many people were observing those stones inside, and there were many people surrounding a clearing on the flat land, and the voice just now came from these people, and there were some people around who were attracted by the sound and walked over.
"It's a gambling area, a place of luck. The voice just now, it should be someone who gambled on the stone!" Ye Jun explained with a smile when he saw Qin Tian looking over there.
"Gambling stones?" Qin Tian, who had never been exposed to this kind of thing, was a little puzzled.
"When the jade was first dug out of the jade vein, there was still a layer of stone skin wrapped on the surface, and this layer of stone skin needed to be removed to get the jade. The jade ore that has not removed the stone skin is called jade wool. And gambling on stones, is to buy a piece of jade wool, cut the stone skin to see if there is jade in the wool, if there is a bet, it is called a gamble, and if there is not, the gamble is broken. Ye Jun said eloquently.
"Generally speaking, the quality of jade produced in such wool is relatively high, and the jade raw materials I purchased are purchased from here. Ye Jun said, "Brother Qin Tian, do you want to go over and have a look?"
This gambling stone sounded quite interesting, so Qin Tian nodded.
"Brother Qin Tian, these are jade wool. These are intact whole wool, while these are half-wool with an opening. Ye Jun pointed to the jade wool on the ground and said.
Qin Tian nodded.
Suddenly, Qin Tian felt that there was something abnormal in the aura of heaven and earth around him, and he was slowly converging in one direction, and he couldn't help but walk in that direction.
"Brother Qin Tian, what's wrong?" Ye Jun asked suspiciously when he saw Qin Tian leave suddenly.
Qin Tian didn't answer Ye Jun's question, but walked to a jade wool more than fifty meters away and stopped.
I saw that this was about two basketball sizes, black on the outside, no special wool, compared to the wool next to it, except for the black, there is no notice.
At this time, Qin Tian smelled a faint aroma, this aroma was extremely light, so faint that if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to find it, if it weren't for Qin Tian's five senses that had been strengthened several times, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find this fragrance.
"This ...... This is the aroma of chalcedony!" Qin Tian's heart trembled suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the introduction of a kind of heavenly and earthly treasure recorded in the Heavenly Material and Earth Treasure Chapter in the "Mixed Yuan Star Treasure Book", and that kind of heavenly material and earth treasure exuded such a fragrance.
"Chalcedony!
Qin Tian's heart was excited, he didn't expect that there would be a chalcedony on the earth where the aura of heaven and earth was so thin, and this chalcedony was also touched by himself, he was so lucky!
Chalcedony is the essence of jade condensed, which is of great help to cultivators with low strength, whether it is used to refine medicine or directly absorbed and refined.
In a world rich in aura, chalcedony may not be too precious, but in the earth where aura is thin, even chalcedony that is diluted a hundred times is an extremely precious treasure.
"These chalcedony must be obtained!" Qin Tian was excited in his heart.
"What's the matter, Brother Qin Tian, do you want to buy this piece of wool?" Ye Jun saw Qin Tian's gaze staring at the black wool in front of him.
"This guest, this is wool dug out of the old pit, and the probability of producing jade is very high, if you want it, you only need to pay me 200,000!" The boss saw Qin Tian's excited appearance, and knew that Qin Tian wanted this piece of wool very much, and if he didn't take the opportunity to slaughter it, he would feel sorry for himself.
"Two hundred thousand, okay!" Qin Tian immediately took out his card to pay the bill.
Seeing Qin Tian giving money so happily, the boss immediately knew that he was still slaughtering lightly, but he couldn't change his words when he said it, so he had to secretly scold himself for being too timid, and took Qin Tian's card and swiped the card to collect the money.
"Brother Qin Tian, is there jade in this wool?" After leaving the place just now, Ye Jun asked, he knew that Qin Tian was not an ordinary person, and the piece of wool he bought was definitely not simple.
"No!" Qin Tian shook his head, for Ye Jun of ordinary people, it was better not to know the storage of chalcedony, otherwise it might bring disaster to him.
Seeing that Qin Tian didn't want to say it, Ye Jun vaguely guessed in his heart that the things in this jade were probably not simple, but Qin Tian didn't say that he didn't want to cause trouble to himself, so he didn't ask again.
After reaching a trading agreement with Ma Kun, Qin Tian had no intention of continuing to stay in the jade trading market, and at this time, he got a piece of wool containing chalcedony, and he didn't want to continue to stay in the jade trading market.
Back at the hotel, Qin Tian said a word to Ye Jun, and then immediately returned to his room.
"Chalcedony!I didn't expect to be able to get chalcedony!" Qin Tian looked at the jade wool in his hand with an excited expression, he never thought that he was just here to buy some jade, but he accidentally encountered a piece of jade wool with chalcedony.
Qin Tian took a deep breath, calmed the excitement in his heart, and began to rub his hands on the jade wool, only to see that Qin Tian's hands were like stone grinders, and the stone powder fell one after another wherever he passed.
An hour later, the jade wool was gone, replaced by a fist-sized piece of jade, crystal clear, as if something liquid-like was flowing in the center of the jade.
