Ma Baobao stared at the window illuminated by strong white light. A beam of light spread along the cracks, like the roots of a plant.
Ye Qing's guess was correct. This big crack began to branch inside the jadeite. If he ignored the crack and cut blindly, the piece of material would be cut into pieces.
Ma Baobao flicked the light around to determine the location of the crack. After careful consideration, he drew a line. He put down the oil-based pen and tilted his head to look at Ye Qing: "You won't have to look at it anymore."
Ye Qing said mysteriously: "The first look is very important."
Ma Baobao wrinkled his nose and snorted coldly: "Master, let's cut this time, are you sure?"
Agou's smiling face was uglier than crying: "It will be cut, who can say that it is certain?"
Ma Baobao turned his head: "Elder brother, come here!"
Qi Yu nodded, turned on the light and looked at the stone carefully before fixing it on the stone cutting machine frame.
When Ma Baobao saw the stone that he fixed exactly according to his drawing lines, he smiled sweetly and said, "From what I see, how many bracelets can this stone produce?"
Ye Qing saw her guilty conscience: "How many do you think you can get out of it?"
Ma Baobao calculated in his mind: "If the crack is along the path, it means that the stone is divided into two parts. I won't talk about the wasted half, but the remaining half weighs five or six kilograms. In the end, The important thing is that the stone is of good shape and can produce at least four pairs of bracelets.
Bingyang green pendants, beads and earrings are common, but bracelets are very precious, especially the full green ones. Four pairs of bracelets cost at least 16 million. Including the bracelet core and scraps, the value of this jadeite is 20 million. up and down. "
Ye Qing sneered: "You are beautiful, and your thoughts are even more beautiful."
Ma Baobao bit his red lips: "You don't agree with what I said?"
"The cracks can be traced, but the strands are invisible. You can only see them after cutting them open." Ye Qing glanced at Qi Yu: "Your senior brother threw the stone aside for a reason."
Ma Baobao raised his head and shouted: "Elder brother, do you also think there are locks in it?"
Qi Yu pointed to the window that was thrown open: "I don't need to tell you the density and hardness of the original jadeite! This stone itself has a big crack. Before moving these stones, I once warned Be careful when passing these soldiers.
From this, it can be concluded that they did not drop the stone intentionally. It was dropped lightly, but a corner was knocked off. This shows that there have been cracks inside the stone for a long time, so the corner fell off with just a slight tap.
The most difficult thing about Mowanji is cracking, so I put the stone aside and planned to cut it and see..."
Cut it into pieces and take a look. The premise is that the stone is not yours. It doesn't matter if it breaks.
If the stone was purchased with your own money, opening a window will suffice.
The Bingyang Green window can make many stone gamblers forget the risks of Mowanji jadeite rough.
It can be said that this is a stone that can make people jump off buildings.
Ma Baobao gritted his teeth and said, "Tch."
Ma Baobao flushes water, Qi Yu cuts stone.
As soon as the knife wheel cut into the stone shell, Ma Baobao's expression changed.
"Click..." The sound was very small, even inaudible amidst the friction between the knife wheel and the stone shell, but all experienced stone players knew that it was the jade inside that was cracked.
Qi Yu raised the knife wheel and looked at Ma Baobao indifferently.
Ma Baobao came over and took a look. The seed was old and black, and the stone slurry flowing out from the edge of the knife was green. This meant that there was no mutation, and it was even full of green.
Therefore, this crack, no matter how terrible the crack is, only splits the stone into two.
As long as half of it is left, the stone is not broken.
"Elder brother, keep cutting."
Qi Yu continued to press the knife, and sparks shot out from the knife wheel, making a harsh sound. However, when the knife wheel entered the jadeite's interior less than two feet, there was another slight bang.
Baby Ma's face turned green.
Ye Qing said bitterly: "The cracked light reflected in the jadeite is a black line. The refracted light inside this piece of jadeite is a black net. This kind of crack should usually appear on Lei Daishi. The only hope now is , it’s a turtle crack, not a spider crack.”
The turtle cracks are relatively large and can be used to fasten beads, ring faces or earrings.
But Spider Split destroys everything with one crack.
Ma Baobao's smooth forehead was covered with cold sweat. Now she finally understood the gap between herself, Qi Yu and Ye Qing.
Betting on stones relies not only on the art of physiognomy, but also on the accumulated knowledge of observing leather shells, but also on the experience of opening windows and cutting stones.
Even in stone gambling, stone cutting is also a very important part.
The reason why people in the industry are so cautious when cutting stones is because when everyone first learned, they had experienced cutting off the bracelet with a knife, and could only make pendants and fasten beads.
That's how one knife makes a hundred times difference.
Looking at the cracks from the window requires long-term stone cutting and accumulation of a lot of experience.
What I lack is experience.
"Genius is one percent talent, plus ninety-nine percent sweat." Ye Qing patted her thin shoulders: "But there is no one percent talent, ninety-nine percent Sweat is all in vain.
Brother Qi asked you to come here to move and cut stones, just to help you make up for 99% of the sweat, so that you can complete your training as soon as possible. But it's a pity that you are like a dog biting Lu Dongbin and don't know a good heart. "
Ma Baobao gritted his teeth: "You are the dog." He turned to look at Qi Yu: "Elder brother, keep cutting, I want to see if the Ye family's judgment is accurate."
In fact, even in Ma's company's treasure house, Ma Baobao is not allowed to cut stones so willfully.
Every piece of rough stone has its own value, and even the cut stones can be sold to stone gamblers.
Cut other people's stones and accumulate your own experience, unless you are willing to condescend and become an ordinary stone cutter.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible.
As for the older generation of stone gambling masters, the one who had not cut stones in the mining area for a few years.
However, Ye Qing and Qi Yu chose to open their own stores.
Ma Baobao felt very sad. She was a proud daughter of heaven and had never tasted failure.
The stone was cut open, and the dense spider cracks were shocking.
Even the beads and earrings are gone.
She turned to look at Ye Qing: "Why can you see it?"
"Brother Qi didn't tell you?" Ye Qing looked at her curiously: "I have a stone shop in Kyoto that specializes in selling gambling stones. I can cut one or two hundred stones every day. While making money, it also allows me to Gained a lot of experience.”
He sighed: "You are very talented, and you may become the next generation of Jade King. However, there is really no shortcut to the road of gambling on stones. Others call you gambling on stones, but we call you Xiangyu. There is a big difference in the names."
Ma Baobao bit his red lips. Gambling relies on luck, but Xiangyu relies on ability. Therefore, a real jade master never relies on luck, but relies on his ability: "This piece of Mowanji is cut out of Bingyang Green."
Ye Qing's heart sank, and he suddenly realized that he had lost.
