Chapter 518: Calcite (Part 2)

"Ye Tian, ​​just cut it casually. This material is like a companion stone to the original jadeite. Although it has some physical characteristics of the original stone, it will definitely not produce jadeite."

Hearing the comments from those around him, Liu Xiguo's face felt a little hot. This time Zuo's jewelry may be famous again. This "top-quality rough stone" that has been on the public market for more than ten days without anyone paying attention, actually turned out to be...

Bought by them.

So Liu Xiguo didn't care about Ye Tian's "elder" face at this moment, and couldn't help but "remind" him to finish the cutting and leave as soon as possible to avoid being embarrassed in front of so many people.

"Xi Guo, can you see what's inside through this stone skin?"

Ye Tian stopped his hand. Although he was talking to Liu Xiguo, his eyes were aimed at the people talking around him.

"Although I can't, uncle, there is a skill in this stone gambling." Liu Xiguo was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He understood what Ye Tian meant. I bet he really thought there was jade in it?

"It's okay if you can't see through it, otherwise wouldn't all of you get rich?" Ye Tian rolled his eyes at Liu Xiguo angrily, but what he said was like a slap in the face of everyone, which was a bit unflattering.

"Young man, gambling on stones is not as simple as you think. Be careful when you talk nonsense."

"Just pick a random piece of "shit material" and try to extract the jadeite. How can it be that easy?"

"When did such a person appear in the Zuo family? Let's see what kind of jade he can unlock?"

Ye Tian's words aroused public outrage, and everyone onlookers started making noises, with sneers on their faces. They wanted to see how this raw melon egg could extract jadeite from this piece of "waste"?

"I didn't invite you to watch the stone cutting, you are just a bunch of guys who came here uninvited!"

Ye Tian curled his lips. He had no intention of hanging out in this industry at all, and he was not afraid of offending others. However, everyone could hear his words very clearly, which made these stone-gambler seniors angry.

The root of the tooth is a little itchy.

"Uncle, do you still want to draw the line? If not, just cut it quickly."

Liu Xiguo was about to cry at this time. Others can't do anything to Ye Tian, ​​but he can't say that he will show off his face to Zuo's jewelry in the future. It is said that there are at least ten jewelry companies in this industry that are far stronger than Zuo's.

jewelry.

"Okay, then I'll cut it."

Ye Tian didn't want to stay in Myanmar any longer. After placing the rough stone in position, he turned on the switch of the stone cutting machine with his left hand, and the silver alloy gear suddenly began to rotate rapidly.

With his right hand grasping the handle of the gear, Ye Tian slowly pressed down the rotating gear. When the gear came into contact with the original stone, pieces of dust and powder flew up.

The stone cutting machine that Ye Tian chose is the largest one in the field. The radius of the alloy gear reaches forty centimeters. However, the diameter of the part that Ye Tian wants to cut is only about thirty-five centimeters. In other words, with this knife,

, you can cut out a window.

Ye Tian's movements were not very fast, but from the moment he cut the stone to the time when he cut the stone, the speed was consistent. With the "click" sound of the gears and the stone rubbing together, there was a muffled "bang" sound.

With a loud noise, a stone weighing more than 30 kilograms was separated from the original stone, and hit the soil under the stone cutter heavily.

"Look, is there anything out?"

"Hurry up and clean it with water. This guy really doesn't know how to cut stones and it's all messy."

As soon as the window was cut out, the onlookers started to move. Someone even pulled a water pipe and flushed the cut surface on the stone cutter with water, leaving Ye Tian aside, as if the ridicule just now was not true at all.

It seemed like it came from their mouths.

"Damn, what is this?"

Ye Tian's hand was still holding the stone cutter, but his mind was a little confused. Could it be that those people's eyesight was so powerful that they could see what was inside through his own cut? But... But Ye Tian himself didn't know what was inside.

What exactly was the object produced?

"Xi Guo, what are they doing?" Ye Tian put down the gear handle and turned to look at Liu Xi Guo. If it hadn't been for the cynicism of these people just now, Ye Tian would have thought that they were all contemporary thunder fronters.

Liu Xiguo didn't take this scene seriously. He looked at Ye Tian and said with a smile: "Uncle, that's what gambling on stones is like. When a stone is solved, everyone wants to know whether it's a gain or a loss!"

The greatest charm of stone gambling is, of course, the interpretation of stones. During the process of interpretation, even those old people who have been in the industry for decades will feel nervous, because this is not only testing their eyesight, but also testing their eyesight.

It's what determines their pocketbook.

You know, no matter how experienced a stone gambler is, he would not dare to say whether there is jadeite in a rough stone and whether its quality is good or bad. If you want to know the result, you can only rely on stone analysis, so there has always been a "one knife in heaven, one knife in stone" cutting process.

"Hell", the phrase that opportunities and risks coexist, is very suitable to be applied to the stone gambling circle.

Over time, a rule has been formed. As long as the stone is cut at the public auction site, it will attract a large number of onlookers. Even if the stone is not theirs, these people will cheer for the bet to go up and sigh for the bet to go down.

Of course, the onlookers who came to watch today were probably just the opposite. They were all holding back their energy and waiting for Ye Tian's gambling to collapse. It is estimated that this kind of mentality is extremely rare in stone gambling.

"How's it going? What did you cut out?"

"That's right, let's see, is it broken?"

This section is only one foot square. When three or five people gather around it, the people behind can't see anything. They all scratch their heads and ears anxiously, wishing they could kick the fat buttocks in front of them.

"Hey, this... why is there such a fog? I can't tell whether it's going up or down."

Under the urging of the people behind him, a silver-haired old man stood up with a puzzled look on his face. He has been involved in the stone gambling business for more than 40 years and has been hanging out on the China-Myanmar border since before liberation.

But I have never encountered this situation.

"Mr. Tang, what's going on? Tell us what's going on with the stone!"

Seeing the old man standing up, the people behind him immediately stopped making noises. However, no one who hangs out in the stone gambling circle is willing to offend this man, because his reputation in the circle is too great.

.

Mr. Tang's family was engaged in jewelry-related industries in the Qing Dynasty. The emerald green jade ring that Prince Gong was forced to take away by the Empress Dowager Cixi came from the hands of one of Mr. Tang's family members. Later, the one worn by the Empress Dowager Cixi was inlaid with

The jade-covered headdress was also donated by the Tang family.

Despite his academic background, Mr. Tang has been wandering around the China-Myanmar border since he was young. He has been gambling on stones for nearly half a century. He almost never misses when he gambles on stones, so he is given the title of "Emerald King" by people in the industry.

honorific title.

The onlookers dared to ridicule Luo Yetian, but in front of Mr. Tang, they all behaved well. Seeing the old man frowning and thinking, the place suddenly became quiet.

"I have seen this piece of material before. The surface is green with a hint of dark red, as if it has been eroded by iron ore. However, there is no fog or jade on the cut surface. According to common sense, this is a piece of waste."

Mr. Tang thought for a while and saw that everyone was waiting for him to speak. He smiled and said, "But this little brother cut out the fog with one knife, and there was a faint red streak inside. It seems that the surname is Fei."

big!"

"What? Mr. Tang, do you mean that he has gone up?"

"Isn't it possible? This...this piece of scrap can actually produce red jade?"

"The price of red jade is not high. At best, it's just a small profit. Besides, I don't know if it is available."

As soon as Mr. Tang said these words, the venue suddenly became lively. Everyone's faces showed a look of disbelief. A few people standing close rushed over with small flashlights with bright lights.

Hold the mirror of the flashlight tightly against the cut surface of the original stone, trying to see the light-transmitting color.

Ye Tian became idle at this moment, touched Liu Xiguo, who looked dull, with his arm, and asked: "Xiguo, what is this red jade? Is it also jade?"

"Red jade is naturally jade." Liu Xiguo smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, you...how are you so lucky? Although the price of this red jade is not very high, but...but it is also a gamble.

"

In the jade industry, there has been a saying of red jade and green jade since ancient times. The color of jade is formed by the erosion of underground minerals. Like red jade, it is usually caused by the dispersion of hematite. Because there are many iron ores underground, so

Red jade is relatively common, and its price in the market is not very high. It is often a mid-range or mid-to-low-end product.

But no matter how cheap the red jadeite is, Ye Tian can still make a profit without losing money. He only spent three hundred dollars for such a large piece of material.

A dozen kilograms of red jade material can be worth hundreds of thousands.

At this time, those people who were watching the stone cutting machine all had weird looks on their faces. They didn't expect that Ye Tian was so lucky that he could actually cut jadeite from the rough stone in this shit place.

Come.

As the saying goes, the winner is the loser, and the same is true in the stone gambling shop. Although Hong Fei has not been completely solved, the mere appearance of the fog made everyone look at Ye Tian with admiration. Just now, what Ye Tian revealed

His arrogance and arrogance seem to have become a manifestation of self-confidence.

When everyone was stunned by Ye Tian's good luck, Mr. Tang squatted in front of the cut and observed it for himself. After standing up, he said to Ye Tian: "This little brother, you can't cut any more down there.

Use a grinder and rub your finger into it, and you should be able to see the jade flesh."

"Okay, thank you for your advice, elder!" Ye Tian nodded and picked up a grinder next to the stone cutter——
