Just after opening his perspective, Tang Songyuan saw the piece of jade wool in Ni Dehong's hand for the first time. It was a proper glass species.
Tang, Song and Yuan could make a judgment without even looking at the identification results given by the fluoroscopic field of vision.
The type of jade refers to its texture and structure, and "water" refers to the transparency of jade.
Although they are two different concepts, they are complementary to each other. Good germplasm generally has good water head, and germplasm with good transparency is not much different.
The jade material in Ni Dehong's hand weighs about three or four kilograms, and the white and green outer skin has peeled off.
To the naked eye, its thin outer skin looks very much like the calloused cuticle of the human body. It looks rough but is full of gelatin.
The state of the woolen fabric becomes even more beautiful under the light, as beautiful and as moist and crystal clear as a lake.
"This is definitely a glass species!" Ni Dehong asserted: "Song Yuan, come over and take a look..."
Tang Songyuan leaned over, and Ni Dehong's flashlight shone back and forth on the original stone, and continued:
"There is basically no need to gamble with water for planting on this piece of material. The large area here has been completely desanded, and it has reached a glass bottom."
"So the biggest bet on this piece of material is the cotton..."
Then, he used this piece of material to tell Tang Songyuan about the specific situation of jade inclusions such as asbestos.
At the end, he said with a look of regret: "You don't have to think about this piece of material. The basic germplasm is so good. I conservatively estimate that I won't be able to get it if it doesn't cost 20 million."
"If we can get 15 million, it will still be a bit of a profit."
Tang, Song and Yuan were astonished. Is this the circle of experts who gamble on jade stones?
This material is only a little bigger, but it can easily cost tens of millions of dollars?
It seems that I really have to speed up the speed of making money, so that when I encounter good things in the future, I will have enough strength to win them.
Old Man Ni put down the piece of glass material without any attachment, and then picked up another smaller rough stone.
A small piece of green material with grayish black in it, when the light shines on it, it faintly reveals a rich and extremely green light.
"This is called color material. It comes from Houjiangchangkou. This piece of snake skin-like pattern is the python of the original stone. It is also called a python belt..."
Ni Dehong pointed to a location in the wool and said: "It is distributed on the surface of the regolith shell of the jadeite raw stone. It is usually distributed in the shape of raised and zigzag veins. Is it somewhat similar to the skin of a python..."
Tang, Song and Yuan listened tirelessly, like a shriveled sponge absorbing moisture.
At this time, Zhou Hongyang brought in four more people, two of whom Tang Songyuan knew, they were Fang Hongyi and Qiu Yingxue whom he had met at the Magic City Gambling Stone Appreciation Meeting.
The other two were men in their fifties and sixties. One had gray hair and was thin, the other had high cheekbones and wore a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.
When the old man with glasses saw Ni Dehong, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically:
"Wow, long time no see Master Ni!"
Ni Dehong stood up and responded, then turned to look at the other person and said: "Old Ghost He, come and see my new disciple."
The old man surnamed He glanced at Tang Songyuan in surprise and said with a smile:
"Not bad, good taste..."
After Ni Dehong's introduction, Tang Songyuan learned that the old man's name was He Tai, a well-known carving master with numerous apprentices and several stores selling jade finished products in Ruili.
"Hello, Master He, please take good care of me!"
Tang Songyuan greeted politely, this person is probably the old friend Ni Dehong mentioned before.
He Tai nodded with a smile and said: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk. Lao Ni, you are the only disciple. Study hard and you will make great achievements in the future."
"Don't call me Master He. To save face, just call me Uncle Tai..."
The three people here were chatting, and Fang Hongyi, Qiu Yingxue and others were already looking at the materials under the leadership of Zhou Hongyang.
As time went by, many people entered the room one after another under the leadership of Zhou Hongyang, but they were still scattered, with no more than 20 people at most.
Just like Ni Dehong said before, secretive and low-key.
Some people selected the ingredients, discussed the price with Zhou Hongyang in a low voice, repackaged it in pieces, paid for it, and left.
There are also people like Fang Hongyi and Qiu Yingxue who purchased a larger quantity, picked them out piece by piece, and piled them up in the corner of the room, like a hill.
Ni Dehong naturally chose the piece of glass to grow wool and asked Zhou Hongyang to negotiate the price.
Zhou Hongyang's eyes flashed with a smile and he said: "Master Ni is worthy of being Master Ni. His skills are extraordinary. Our big boss has also seen this material."
"The minimum is 28 million."
But Ni Dehong snorted and said: "One thousand and five, it's too much to talk about."
It is said to be 1,500, but everyone knows it is 1,5 million.
Zhou Hongyang suddenly showed a troubled look, "Master Ni's cut was too severe. This is glass seed material. The price you gave is not even enough to cover the cost of this trip."
Ni Dehong said calmly: "Don't come here. This piece of material has good gambling properties despite its appearance, but there are still many variables in the future."
"And this is not a completely glass species. The species on the side and back are a little worse. They can only be considered as near-glass species. The difference is one point, and the price difference is ten times. You don't know..."
Zhou Hongyang also knew that he could not compete with Ni Dehong professionally, and the key was that every point Ni Dehong said was in line with the characteristics of this material.
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "I really can't make the decision. How about Master Ni, please wait a moment while I call the big boss."
Ni Dehong nodded slightly, and Zhou Hongyang hurriedly walked out of the room.
He came back after a while and said with a smile: "The big boss said that you don't have to give face to other people, but you must give Master Ni's face. If you say one thousand and five, just one thousand and five. This piece The material is now attached to you.”
Ni Dehong was unambiguous, took out his mobile phone and transferred the money.
Tang Songyuan also took the opportunity to ask about the price of the piece of Houjiang small material. When he heard that it was only fifty thousand yuan, he paid and took it without saying a word.
First of all, this piece of material has a certain color. The thin jade skin is full of meat, and the color has reached the level of sun-green.
Secondly, Ni Dehong has also read it, and the points that need to be said are explained clearly to him.
He Tai also bought four or five pieces of materials. Ni Dehong said to him: "I'm almost done, what about you?"
He Tai said: "What's the matter? Do you still want to invite me to dinner?"
Ni Dehong said angrily: "I mean to take Song Yuan to your place to have a look, and cut this piece of material by the way."
He Tai looked at Tang Songyuan, thought for a moment and then smiled: "You usually don't go when I invite you, but now you take the initiative to ask me. I think you have a problem."
Ni Dehong was slightly annoyed and said: "Don't talk nonsense. I want you to take him to see the specific finished product market so that he can understand what kind of quality and what kind of price."
"Where did you want to go, you old ghost?"
When he said this, Tang Songyuan finally understood Ni Dehong's good intentions.
It is true that I have clairvoyant vision and can easily see through the inside of raw jadeite, but I am still just a layman on what kind of jadeite it is and how much it is worth in the market.
The main reason is that there are many factors that affect the value of jadeite, and planting water and color are only the most basic ones.
But just for planting water, there are many subtle differences, and there are hundreds of color distinctions.
There is no doubt that Imperial Green is the most valuable, but where is Imperial Green so easy to come across?
He Tai suddenly said: "This is just a small problem, let's leave now."
On the way to He Tai's workshop, Tang Songyuan was still in the same car with Ni Dehong.
Ni Dehong said: "The big boss behind Zhou Hongyang is called Somchai. He is considered a moderate warlord leader in Myanmar. I gave him guidance for a period of time more than ten years ago."
