If you cut well, there will be rewards, but if you cut poorly, Tang Songyuan will be watching from the side and be able to correct and recover in time.
I saw Ma Tianming shining a light on the wool of the ugly stone, and then using a pencil to draw a line on the original stone.
It happened to be painted on that old crack.
Then start the machine and start cutting along the old crack.
While cutting, Ma Tianming compared it carefully, fearing that it would be cut crookedly by accident.
After about half an hour, he cut out a gap of about ten centimeters in the ugly stone.
At this time, he found a hammer and a wedge, and then inserted the wedge into the gap. After a few hammer blows, the ugly stone was split into two.
Outsiders may not understand the action of chiseling. Even in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, they learned about it from Ni Dehong.
From a practical point of view, generally cutting the jade material with old cracks and using a hammer and wedge is the way to maximize the preservation of the valuable parts of the jade.
"It's cut, Mr. Tang!"
Ma Tianming held two pieces of material with some anxiety and went to the office to find Tang Songyuan.
The ugly stone split in two looks ugly on the inside.
The old crack that was divided into two halves also had thirty or forty small cracks, which penetrated into the white jade flesh like tree roots.
"Isn't this great? It's all grown up..."
Tang Songyuan pretended to shine a light on it and said: "There are rich green floating flowers in these parts here. If you can take out one or even a few main pieces here, this piece of material will be good. "
"It's just a little troublesome, just be patient."
The anxiety in Lao Ma's heart relaxed a little, and even the weather-beaten wrinkles on his face were much smoother. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I'll take care of it."
It was busy until almost evening before all the peeling work was completed on the remaining six rough jade stones.
Only the piece of wool at the bottom of the glass was left, but Tang Songyuan did not take it out for them to cut.
This jadeite rough stone is of great value and of high quality. It is also a rare treasure. Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties planned to make it their first collection.
Just like Ni Dehong's rough stone warehouse, it only stores uncut stones, and it's also the kind that is pressed at the bottom of the box...
In the evening, he approved a sum of funds for Li Yangqiu and asked him to hire four workers to have a meal.
He himself asked Ni Sisi to drive and rushed to He Tai's studio with today's harvest.
He Tai was holding a grinding tool, facing a design drawing, and carving a jade plaque.
When he saw Tang Songyuan and Ni Sisi entering the door, he didn't pay attention. It wasn't until Tang Songyuan called "Uncle Tai" that he raised his head.
"It's Xiao Tang. Oh, Sisi is a rare visitor. Please sit down quickly!"
When he called Xiao Tang, he just smiled normally. When he saw Ni Sisi, He Tai's face suddenly became as bright as a blooming flower.
He dropped the tools in his hands and the unfinished sign and said hello.
He moved stools and asked the apprentices to serve tea, and said: "Xiao Tang hasn't been to my place for a long time..."
Tang Songyuan explained: "Some time ago, I was delayed for a few days when I went to Magic City with my senior sister, and then recently I was busy buying a factory,"
"This is the material cut out by the factory today. How about Uncle Tai help me take a look at these materials?"
With that said, he took out all the materials he had cut out today and put them all on He Tai's workbench.
"Okay, I cut out so many in one day..." He Tai's eyes lit up, he picked up a piece of material to identify it, and said with a smile: "Old man Ni has taught a good apprentice!"
When Ni Sisi heard the other party praising her grandfather and junior brother, she couldn't help but feel proud, but she was so happy that she didn't say anything.
Tang Songyuan added: "Our scale is still small now and we have no specific sales. It depends on whether Uncle Tai can help us close it."
"I can collect it here!" He Tai glared: "Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer high-quality jadeite, and there are even good ones like your master that are hidden without cutting."
"If you have any good stuff, just send it to me. Uncle Tai will never treat you badly..."
Then He Tai evaluated the materials brought by Tang, Song and Yuan one by one.
A piece of high-quality jade weighs about two kilograms. In He Tai's words, it can be used to make two or three bracelets. The remaining scraps can also be used to make many brands and egg noodles. In the end, he was given 1.1 million.
The remaining materials also have their own characteristics, some are of good quality, and some are of good color. The five pieces were given a total price of 2.3 million.
Even the pieces cut out of the ugly stone can be made into two high-quality Landscape or Nothing cards due to the two main pieces of high ice type.
The remaining small pieces can also be made into play items such as gourds or crab claws, and He Tai also offered a high price of 550,000 yuan.
He Tai also said: "There will be materials in the future. Xiao Tang, you don't have to deliver them in person. I will ask my people to collect them from you regularly. What do you think?"
He Tai also owns several shops that specialize in selling finished jade products. Some time ago in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, he went to study and observe in order to understand the market in depth.
He smiled and said: "That's great, we'll just give it a week. What do you think, Uncle Tai?"
Tang, Song and Yuan also knew that eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Next, he will look for more sales. If he continues to expand the scale, he can also recruit carving workers to make finished products.
Take the one-stop industrial path from stone gambling to finished product sales.
Then he left the address of the workshop, and He Tai also asked someone to transfer money to Hex Jade Industry’s account.
A total of 3.4 million, which is considered the first day's turnover of Hex Jade Industry.
After chatting about some trivial matters, Tang Songyuan stood up and left.
He Tai personally sent the two to the door of the studio, and before leaving, he asked Ni Sisi to come and play often.
The two returned to the place where Li Yangqiu had brought people to have dinner. Tang, Song and Yuan were satisfied with the skills of the four workers. After drinking a glass of wine with a few of them, they also distributed red envelopes to everyone.
He also said: "Everyone has a good meal and drink today, and you can go to work at ten o'clock at the latest tomorrow."
"In the future, everyone can safely cut the materials in the factory based on their own experience,"
"It doesn't matter if it breaks. It's normal for gambling stones to break."
During this period, he also discussed the purchase of a pickup truck with Li Yangqiu. Li Yangqiu himself had a driver's license and was an experienced driver.
His previous job at Song Zhenguo was to drive stones or finished products.
Tang Songyuan said: "Just buy a new pickup truck, and put it in the name of the company. You can take care of it. My requirement is that it is strong and durable, and the domestic one is the best..."
