"Gambling stones are divided into full bets and half bets. Full bets are those on the ground that are intact and have high risks. They are said to be poor with one knife and rich with one knife. Half bets are cut into a piece, also known as opening a skylight or wiping off a part. Also known as rubbing stones, in the final analysis, it comes out green, and when it comes out green, it proves that there is jade inside, and the risk is relatively low."
The bald middle-aged man explained patiently.
Cao Yiting was filled with emotion. Just cutting the rough stone alone revealed so many ways to learn. He didn't know how much he had to learn if he continued to delve deeper. He really fulfilled the saying that every line is like a mountain.
The bald middle-aged man smiled and walked away.
Cao Yi continued to look for raw stones with spiritual energy. As he walked, a jadeite raw stone numbered 667 came into view.
It is exactly what the bald middle-aged man said just now that only produces mid- to low-grade Pagang factory wool. It contains a familiar aura, but it's not very strong.
Cao Yi bent down and took off the label.
The bald middle-aged man who hadn't walked far turned back inadvertently and saw this scene, shaking his head helplessly.
Cao Yi's behavior made him a stubborn fool.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Yi's behavior left him speechless.
Cao Yi picked off the label of another piece of scrap that was only the size of a fist.
In the end, what made him completely dumbfounded was that Cao Yi picked the label of a rough stone that was more than one meter high, obviously to make up for the number.
I saw Cao Yi holding the tag and walking towards the place of transaction.
The bald middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh.
Since joining his father Zheng Yutong's Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company at the age of twenty-six, this is the first time he has seen such a willful person like Gu Shi.
At the transaction office, Cao Yi swiped his bank card on the POS machine.
No. 667, which is the piece of Pagang factory wool, cost $1,500.
No. 2333, more than one meter tall, looks like a rough stone, and cost $120.
No. 666, a fist-sized piece of scrap that cost $5.
The total cost was $1,625.
"Is the stone dissected on site?"
The staff member asked, suppressing a smile.
Cao Yi nodded.
In just a few minutes, the extra-large emerald stone was taken out.
Because the jade stone he chose was so ridiculous, people who were looking at the jade stone gathered around him.
Da Jinya and Wang Kaixuan, who were wandering around, also came over. When they saw that it was the Taoist priest who was about to unlock the jadeite, their faces showed anticipation.
Cao Yi, who was standing next to the three jadeite stones, suddenly raised his head, glanced at Da Jinya and Wang Kaixuan, and a smile flashed across his face.
Wang Kaixuan immediately smiled back at Cao Yi.
Halfway through his smile, Big Gold Tooth showed a thoughtful look, then turned around and walked away.
"Taoist Priest, which one should I solve first?"
Master Jie Shi asked with a sullen face.
Why do you have a sullen face? It's because you're afraid of laughing.
My family knows my own affairs, and numbers 2333 and 666 were both used by the company to make up the numbers.
"Unlock number 666 first"
Cao Yi looked calm.
Ignore the whispers around you and the occasional chuckles.
Master Jiese placed the fist-sized number 666 on the grinder and observed it seriously.
Seeing this, the people around him became quiet.
After one minute, two minutes, the master of stone removal moved after completing the observation, and first lightly rubbed the edge as a try.
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but say: "It's obviously a piece of waste, why should you be so careful?"
If you complain, you can always resonate with people.
"That's right, it's obviously trash, but you're still so careful. It makes me even nervous."
"Tell me, put it on the stone cutter and cut it directly. It's a waste of time!"
…
The stone-cutting master was criticized by everyone for not being pretentious, so he put No. 666 on the stone cutter. He originally planned to cut a fifth of it first, but accidentally cut too much, more than a third.
The crowd watching the excitement couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.
"There's more than half left, which is just a little bigger than an egg. There can't be any jade!"
"Master Kang, did you do this on purpose?"
The stone-cutting master laughed a few times and continued to cut. The jadeite stone, which was a little larger than an egg, became smaller and smaller, and finally, only the size of a grape remained.
The laughter around them started again.
The stone master simply cut it open, but still found nothing.
The crowd couldn't stop laughing anymore.
Wang Kaixuan, who had always been angry because of everyone's laughter, also wondered whether the Taoist Master also made mistakes sometimes.
Cao Yi walked to the stone cutter, bent over and picked up more than one-third of the jadeite rough stone that had been cut off before, put it on the stone cutter, and said calmly: "Continue, polish."
The stone master glanced at Cao Yi and confirmed that Cao Yi was serious. He put the rough stone on the grinder and polished it.
But this time, he had no confidence at all and was treating it all as a joke.
With a hissing spinning sound, a touching green color was revealed.
Master Jie Shi stopped quickly, his eyes gleaming.
It's green! It’s really green!
"Fuck, it's all evil. This is fine."
“It’s really green, incredible.”
"The last person who treated this raw jade stone as scrap didn't vomit blood even after knowing it!"
…
The crowd exclaimed.
This time, the master of stone removal worked hard and removed the outer layer of the original stone bit by bit. It took a full twenty minutes to finish.
"The emerald green is distributed very evenly, and there is no difference in shades. It is almost transparent. Good fortune, good fortune..."
Master Jiese held an egg yolk-sized jadeite and muttered to himself like a fool.
"The green is rich, crystal clear, and without any flaws. Could it be the legendary imperial green glass!"
"Even in the auction house, glass imperial green is very rare. It's a shame."
“Cost only $5”
…
The crowd started talking in all directions, completely forgetting how they had just laughed at others.
Master Jie Shi handed the egg-yolk-sized imperial green jade glass to Cao Yi with trembling hands and a face full of reluctance.
Although this was not the first time he came into contact with top-grade jadeite, Cao Yi was still dazzled by the beauty of the glass imperial green.
"I'll pay you $30,000."
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
"You are daydreaming. This is a glass imperial green. Although it is a bit small, it can still be decorated with three rings. I will pay you 70,000 US dollars."
shouted another voice.
At this time, an arrogant voice sounded: "Everyone get out of the way."
Everyone subconsciously got out of the way.
He walked in with a stubby hair and big gold teeth, holding a cigar in his mouth with an arrogant expression.
He took out a beautiful zippo lighter from his pocket, took out a stack of dollar bills from his pocket with his other hand, lit it like Little Ma, and then lit the cigar.
He walked up to the guy who just shouted seventy thousand dollars and blew out a smoke ring: "One hundred thousand dollars"
Seeing Da Jinya's outstanding performance, Cao Yi couldn't help but think of a lyric: Just because I looked at you one more time in the crowd.
That's right, that look and smile just now were Cao Yi's impromptu decision to let Da Jinya and Wang Kaixuan cause trouble.
As a result, Wang Kaixuan smiled in return, which almost depressed Cao Yi to death.
Fortunately, Big Gold Tooth is smart.
This time, we can definitely raise the price today and raise enough funds to participate in the jade public sale.
