Tang, Song and Yuan had planned to keep this piece of material containing the best ice jade for their own use from the very beginning.
Isn’t it true that the Crouching Tiger nugget he placed at Suntech Auction House lacked a piece of natural jade to set it off?
A few days ago, Yu Qingran said that a pound of jade is hard to find, and top-quality jade is even harder to find.
Less than 48 hours have passed now, and Tang Songyuan has finished it by himself, and it is still a very high-quality ice jade.
All you need to do is cut this piece of material and let Yu Qingran help with the rest.
Tang Songyuan believed that his Crouching Tiger Dog Head Gold and this top-quality ice jade would definitely achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.
Don’t underestimate the spending power of the rich in China, especially in the city. Objects with unique shapes and perfect meanings will definitely be very popular.
Qiu Yingxue was quite surprised to be rejected. Such a situation was obviously rare.
"no!"
She asked very puzzledly: "Just now you said that you have no way to process and sell it. Do you still plan to keep it for your own collection?"
Tang Songyuan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "I'm very sorry, but it's not convenient to tell you the specific purpose."
Then he turned to look at the master worker, and drew a new line on the wool with his fingers: "I want to cut it like this next time, is that okay?"
The master worker blinked and was stunned for three seconds. He thought to himself that this guy is really out of his depth. Is this the attitude you have when such a beautiful lady is talking to you?
"Ah, yes, yes, the boss just said, you can cut it any way you want!"
After a quick reply, the master worker adjusted the position of the stone and was ready to start cutting again.
Qiu Yingxue stamped her foot in slight annoyance, then snorted slightly from her nose, but soon returned to her nonchalant look.
He said without interest: "It's getting late, let's go back!"
Seeing Qiu Yingxue leading the people away, Li Yangqiu couldn't help but give Tang Song Yuan a thumbs up.
"Tsk tsk, don't be moved by beauty, buddy, you can do that!"
Tang Songyuan glared at him: "Come on, my material is really useful and has nothing to do with beauty or not!"
Besides, he looked at such a beautiful woman from top to bottom, and he could clearly see even a few roundworms in her belly.
Everyone has a love for beauty, but can they close a relationship just by trading a piece of jade material? That's obviously impossible.
"Yes, you are amazing and noble!"
"It's my lust that takes over my heart, and it's alright if I forget my duty when I see sex!"
Li Yangqiu curled his lips and said with a groan.
Tang Songyuan clasped his hands on his chest and looked in the direction of the thread cutting machine:
"I didn't say that. What I meant was that you need to be strong to forge iron. There will always be beauties, but opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared..."
Li Yangqiu laughed and said: "You mean you are not tough enough..."
"Fuck you uncle, at least it's harder than yours!"
Late at night, the cutting machine gradually became idle, and most of the stones cut on site were finished. After a night of hard work, some were happy and some were worried, and the crowds participating in the Stone Gambling Appreciation Party gradually dispersed.
Song Zhenguo was also ready to leave. When he left, he told Li Yangqiu:
"I'll give you five days off. When the time comes, just go to the company...and pay attention to your own safety!"
Li Yangqiu: "I understand, cousin, walk slowly!"
It was not until more than two o'clock in the morning that the last piece of jadeite material from Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties was completely cut out.
The master worker also carefully cleaned the corners of the jade blank, leaving only a group of crystal clear jade that makes people feel nervous.
"How beautiful!"
Li Yangqiu looked at the jadeite held by Tang Songyuan and praised it sincerely.
There were about four or five kilograms of the cut ice jade left. Tang Songyuan asked the master worker for some packaging bags and wrapped it firmly.
Then he asked Li Yangqiu to leave the venue together.
The organizer arranged for bodyguard escort and hotel, but Tang Songyuan wanted to find a place to stay on his own.
After going out and hailing a taxi, Tang Songyuan checked into the hotel where he rested last night and opened a double room with Li Yangqiu.
"It's right to be cautious!"
After entering the door, Li Yangqiu threw his luggage on the bed near the door, and then lay down on it.
"By the way, you can say that you are keeping this piece of material now to prepare for something..."
Tang Songyuan also put away his few luggage, opened the bathroom door and said: "You will know tomorrow, I'm going to take a shower first!"
"How about we come together?" Li Yangqiu asked coquettishly.
"Come on!" Tang Songyuan waved to him without showing any signs of weakness.
They spent the night without talking, and the next morning, the two had a buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant.
Tang Songyuan checked out of the house and took a taxi with Li Yangqiu to Suntech Auction House.
"Is it possible that you want to auction off this piece of jade?"
After getting out of the car and seeing the sign at the door of the auction house, Li Yangqiu asked puzzledly: "On occasions like last night, the best jade trading circle is, those people know the market better and don't hesitate to bid to buy... ."
"Why didn't I realize you were talking so much nonsense before?"
Tang Songyuan walked straight inside, "If you want to know what I'm planning, you'll find out later!"
Although he came early, Yu Qingran was already at work.
In Shangde's antique reception room, Yu Qingran once again received Tang Songyuan and Li Yangqiu.
"Mr. Tang has come back. Do you still have any questions you want to answer? Or is there anything else we Shangde can do for Mr. Tang?"
Tang Songyuan didn't waste any time, he opened his backpack and took out the top-grade ice-planted green jadeite harvested last night.
Before he could introduce her, Yu Qingran's charming little mouth had already opened into a big O shape.
"The best ice jade, and it's full of color..."
Yu Qingran said in great surprise: "This kind of jadeite is rare in the city. How did Mr. Tang get it?"
Ice jade is naturally not too rare, but most of it is circulated in stone gambling or jade circles, and then made into finished products according to demand and then entered the market. There are indeed not many rough ones with the skin removed.
Tang Songyuan smiled slightly and said: "Unexpected bonus, Miss Yu thinks, is this piece of material suitable for use as the base of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?"
Yu Qingran looked at the jade material that Tang Songyuan placed on the table, her eyes returned to professionalism and she said, "Can I take a look at it?"
After getting Tang Songyuan's nod of agreement, Yu Qingran held it up carefully and with difficulty.
After looking it over, he said: "This piece of material is excellent in terms of water, color, and background. It is indeed very suitable to be used as the base of Crouching Tiger."
"But such material, if it were in the jade circle, would be worth at least four to five million. Is Mr. Tang really willing to invest so much?"
The unspoken meaning is that with such good material, it would be a pity not to use it for carving beads. Oh no, it would be a pity not to take out the bracelet.
Tang Songyuan responded lightly: "This is not a big problem. My hope is that this piece of material can form an effect that one plus one is greater than two with that piece of Crouching Tiger."
"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, but I don't know if the carving project can be completed in time?"
The jadeite blank was heavy, so Yu Qingran put it back carefully and said:
"Mr. Tang, don't worry, this is a magical city, and the consumption power is the best in the country,"
"There is no need to mention the craftsmanship of our Shangde engraving master. Since Mr. Tang has already made this decision, we still need to sign a supplementary agreement..."
