Chapter 399 The bet is the heartbeat

Chapter 399 The bet is the heartbeat

Entering the jewelry night market, the accents from the south and the north mixed with the strong Mandarin of the Burmese people, and it really felt like I was in a vegetable market.

Although the stalls are also green, what is sold at the stalls is not vegetables, but jade.

"The origin of jadeite is in Myitkyina, Myanmar, but it is true that the jadeite comes out of Tengyue. Because originally it was one. The Lucchuan area is under the jurisdiction of Yongchang County. And the Lucchuan area has actually extended to Myanmar.

After the Luchuan Kingdom retreated to Myanmar, it mainly relied on mining jade and doing jade business in preparation for a comeback, which lasted for two hundred years in Myanmar. Both jade and ruby ​​were sought after by the court during the Qing Dynasty.

Although our country has always had a jade culture, the Central Plains is in the north, and the pursuit of Hetian jade is even stronger. After the Qing Dynasty returned to the country, it was discovered that the jadeite and Nanhong jade in Yunzhou were more colorful than our original jade, so they were highly sought after.

Got up.

Later, the national boundaries continued to change, and the origins became foreign. However, Tengchong's status as a jade distribution center and processing center has remained unchanged for two thousand years.

In modern times, it began to move to Ruili. The thrilling culture of stone gambling has also been passed down. Many businessmen and tourists come here to gamble their luck."

The tourists were very excited. They looked at the crowds coming and going, squatting on the ground to pick stones, and bargaining. They felt what it meant to buy jade like buying vegetables. It was so atmospheric.

I couldn't help itching my hands and wanted to pick them.

He Huan walked all the way and saw that they were all stones!

Look at the tourists and say, "Calm down! What's wrong with one being poor, one being rich, and one being covered in linen, while others play with their heartbeats. Let's just have fun and don't have high expectations. The good raw materials have been taken away long ago, and these are the remaining stones.

It’s for us to play with.”

A basin of cold water calmed everyone down, but it still felt very atmospheric.

He Huan led them to look at the stones at their feet, "Although gold is valuable and jade is priceless, this thing has been circulating for so many years, how could there be no standard?

In fact, which field is it produced from? Which layer is it in? What is the average quality of the stone in which layer of this field? What is the market price of the processed products? There is a clear price range.

If the stone is of good origin, the first person to take it away will be the owner of the mine, so that the wealth will not flow to others. The second person to take action will be the big jewelers and the big customers of the mine. The origin of the rough jadeite also depends on its origin.

"

The tourists were helpless, "It turns out that jade can also reveal its origin!"

"Otherwise? What is there in this world that cannot be traced to one's origin? The prices of most rough jadeite stones are determined based on one's origin, and the prices are transparent. Even if there are fluctuations, the fluctuations are not large.

Gold is valuable but jade is priceless, but only to outsiders. Outsiders don't know the secrets. In fact, a mature industry that has been around for so many years has already had a set of standardized models.

When a piece of jadeite is dug out of the mine and then released to the market, it has to go through multiple screenings and pass through the hands of multiple experts. These experts are all veterans of playing with stones. They not only have experience, but also have sophisticated and professional identification tools.

So most of the rocks you see here are really just rocks."

"Ah!" Everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Let's see if there are any better rough stones first. We can buy one or two pieces to try them out. If we don't find anything suitable, we'll just pick the ones that have been processed by others."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded. Xiao Bailong had already led them to buy Nanhong. There was no doubt about his eye for jadeite.

Master Zhou also followed happily, waiting to catch up with Xiao Bailong.

This is really picking up the pieces! The good ones have been taken away long ago. After going through many hurdles such as background, experts, and instruments, if you can really stumble upon a good stone, isn’t it just picking up the pieces?

"Hey! Little White Dragon! Look!" A tourist pointed to a stone with a window open, revealing the attractive green.

"Take a look! There is green in it!" The boss picked up the stone and handed it to the tourists. Seeing that they didn't bring flashlights, he offered to provide flashlights. "Look, you won't lose money if you buy this piece! This green is very transparent! It's very green."

It’s possible to get a full green cut!”

"How much is this?" the tourist asked excitedly.

"One hundred thousand!"

He Huan pulled the tourist. The tourist looked at him, put down the stone, and followed him, "What's wrong? That one is very green! It's also very green when the flashlight shines on it!"

"If it's full of green, I'll give you 100,000?"

The tourist calmed down and looked back, still reluctant to part with it, "But it's really green!"

He Huan looked at them, so when he came to Ruili without understanding, it was really easy to be fooled. No wonder one was poor, one was rich, and one was covered in sackcloth! Thinking about buying a real stone for 100,000 yuan, you would like to hit him to death with this stone!

"Why do some rough stones have windows? It's just to let you see the green inside. But you can see the green inside, why would he be willing to sell it?

This stone is really as green as he said. How many bracelets should be cut? How many pendants should be made? After processing, why don’t you sell it for millions? Give it to you for 100,000? People who sell stones are stupider than you who buy stones?"

The tourists couldn't help but laugh, and the tourist calmed down, "Okay! If it weren't for you, I would really want to buy it! It's so tempting!"

"Isn't it tempting? It's green!" He Huan said, "But if you are betting on rough stones, your heartbeat is the heartbeat. I will let you see the green one. Do you believe it? If you believe it, the one who buys it is not as good as the one who sells it!"

Everyone nodded.

"Many of the so-called rough stones here are actually processed. I'm afraid you won't believe it, so I opened the window to show it to you. But the more the window is opened, the more careful you have to be. Because if the stone is really good, he can't help but cut it all.

Opened, are you still waiting for me? These windows are usually made of fake windows."

"ah!"

"Do you know that kind of window painting? You may have never experienced it. Poor workers live in a dark room. They put up a picture and it is green outside. They pretend to be a window and pretend that they live in a garden community. In fact, ugh."

"Xiao Bailong, are you so miserable?"

"Yes! I have also lived in a very dilapidated and old house! In short, the same is true for jade. In order to make you believe that there is really jade inside, they will make fake windows."

"How to do it?" Everyone looked at Xiao Bailong curiously. It doesn't matter whether you can buy good stones or not, the key is to be curious about this market!

"Usually, you select a good spot on the original stone, dig a small groove, fill it with green material, and trim it carefully to pass it off as jade."

"ah!"

"There are also some jade with poor quality. Incisions will be made on the jade, and jadeite of a similar size to the incision, with excellent texture and bright colors, will be used to cover up the overall bad quality with local good quality. That was just a patch."

"Ah!" The tourist who was tempted just now felt that he had saved 100,000 yuan!

"There are also some jadeite textures that are transparent, but not green enough. Merchants will dig a hole in the middle of the raw material, inject green, and then glue the hole with jadeite. In this way, it looks full of color on the outside, but it is actually a false color filled inside.

It’s revealed.”

"Ah!" Everyone nodded. They didn't expect there were so many ways here.

"As soon as Myanmar's good goods are released, they have already been sold out. What is brought here to sell are some leftover stones, and they will not let go of these leftover stones.

Generally, a small hole is made in the original stone to test the quality of the material. If it is good, the window will be opened; if it is not good, the hole will be blocked with chemicals and the stone will flow back into the market."

"ah!"

"So you think it's easy to find something missing in this market? You've tried it countless times. Rough stones are not necessarily rough stones.

Some use marble or amphibolite to pretend to be jadeite and paint it with color. Some don’t even fake it and just mix pebbles into the jadeite. How can you tell the difference?"

After He Huan said this, everyone became calmer.

"These things are enough for you. This is called fake meat. But for some experts, they don't even see you opening the window, just look at the complete rough stone. At this time, some businesses will make fake leather."

"Fake leather?" tourists were surprised. "Stones still have skin?"

"That's right! They all look like the same stone to you, but there is a layer of weathered leather on the surface of the original jadeite. For experts, you can roughly tell which field or even which layer it came from based on the color and texture of the leather, so as to infer the interior.

The quality is good or bad.”

"Ah!" Everyone hugged Xiao Bailong's arms excitedly, "Xiao Bailong, you are an expert! Come and see for us!"

The tourists looked at the stones excitedly, then looked at He Huan, but they never nodded or spoke.

These businesses are still good. You can look around and touch whatever you want. It doesn’t matter if you don’t buy after seeing them.

When I see tourists picking up stones, they all look at the little white dragon.

The boss also understood who was their backbone, so he recommended it to Xiao Bailong, "This stone is good! Sixty percent of it is waxy ice green!"

He Huan touched it and asked, "Can this skin be shaved?"

"Can't scrape." The boss shook his head and quickly snatched the stone back.

After everyone left the stall, the visitor asked curiously: "Why do you want to shave?"

"The stone just now is made of black sand skin. Raw jade stones with black sand skin will have a darker green color, and sometimes full green jade can be found."

"Then why don't you buy it and try it?" A tourist turned around and wanted to buy it.

He Huan stopped and said, "If he doesn't let you scrape, there is a problem. Because experts buy rough stones to check the skin. The yellow sand-skinned jadeite roughs are more likely to have green in them, but the color distribution is uneven. The iron-sand-skinned jadeite roughs are of better quality.

High-end materials can be produced.

In order to deceive the eyes of connoisseurs, some businesses will cut high-quality rough stones and grind the remaining weathered skin into powder, then mix and paste it with special glue on the lower-quality rough stones, and then dip-dye it again to make it look like natural weathering.

Skin."

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked.

"If he asks you to scrape it off, you can see whether it is fake leather or real leather."

The tourists looked at the little white dragon. Fortunately, they followed the little white dragon, otherwise they would have been tricked.

Walking around, I saw that some stones were priced at tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. But most of the stones were priced at thousands or hundreds of thousands.

"Is there jade in the stone worth hundreds of dollars? Is there anyone who wants to buy it?"

"The ones worth a few hundred yuan are usually real stones, not even stones picked up from the mines, but probably stones picked up by the river."

"Is this okay?"

"That's right! If you can play, you can also pick up a few stones and sell them for a few hundred yuan each!"

The tourists laughed and said, "Let's go pick up rocks!"
