Chapter 248 Glass Imperial Green Jade (Part 2)
"Yes, Xiao He, Haitao, what are you doing in the room? Are you really gambling on stones?" Mr. Zheng asked hurriedly. They were all surprised. They didn't expect He Qing and He Qing to secretly solve the problem in the room.
stone.
At this point, He Qing had nothing to hide, so he nodded and said truthfully: "Yes, Master, Haitao and I just went to the Jade Street, bought a few stones, and cut them ourselves.
It is said that that batch of stones was transported from Myanmar and the material is very good."
"It's good for you two. It turns out that you came to Beijing to bet on stones." Mr. Zheng suddenly straightened his expression and said in a serious tone, "Betting on stones is not a good thing. It is almost the same thing as gambling! Hai
Tao, how many times have I told you to stop betting on stones? You lost so much money before. Do you know how your parents advised you? You also promised me in front of me before.
If you continue to gamble on stones, you can go back to Nanjing, and I won't care about you anymore."
"Grandpa, I..." Upon hearing his grandfather's reproach, Lin Haitao's expression suddenly changed, and he looked very uneasy. He wanted to explain something but was evasive and could not continue.
"Master, I can't blame Haitao for this. I asked him to accompany me to play. We didn't go gambling on stones. We saw a lot of people buying them so we just played with a few stones. But we didn't buy much, just one or two.
It’s just a block.” He Qing argued that he was “taking the blame” for Lin Haitao.
Lin Haitao felt very grateful when he heard that He Qingdai had suffered it himself. He wanted to explain clearly, but then he only heard Deng Lao say with a smile: "Old Zheng, forget it. Young people have that hobby, there is nothing wrong with it.
. Stone gambling is not exactly gambling, it also involves a certain amount of technology. Some professional jade gambling merchants are very skillful and have repeatedly won good stones. Now the jade market is very good. If you can bet on a good piece of jade, it will be really good.
not bad!"
"But how can it be that easy?!" Mr. Zheng shook his head solemnly, "The probability of winning a top-quality jadeite by gambling is almost the same as the probability of winning the first prize of five million by buying a lottery ticket, so why do you take risks?!
I used to have a friend who was addicted to stone gambling and couldn't help himself. Later, he lost miserably. As a result, his family was ruined. Now the family is living in poverty. Otherwise, he would have lived a wealthy life long ago. It was stone gambling that harmed him.
!So I firmly disapprove of you young people learning to gamble on stones. You should start your own business diligently to make money. What are you thinking about those illusory things?!"
"Grandpa, what if Brother Qing bets on a very good piece of jade?" Lin Haitao suddenly spoke, as if he mustered up all his courage.
"What?!" As soon as he said this, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng couldn't help but glance at each other. There was surprise in their eyes, and Mr. Zheng immediately turned to look at He Qing. He asked in a somewhat urgent tone, "
Xiao He, did you win something good by gambling?"
He suddenly felt interested, and his previous complaints were instantly gone.
"Master, I don't know what's going on with the stone I just bought. The stone I just bought has not been completely unraveled, but the piece Haitao bought has been completely cut into pieces, so I can judge the quality of the jadeite.
. His piece of jade should be good, a good piece of jade." He Qing replied seriously.
"Oh. Really?" Mr. Zheng turned around and looked at Lin Haitao and said, "Haitao, where is the stone? Since you have all bet, there is nothing you can do. The stone can't go back anyway. I'll cut you into pieces.
Take out the stone that opened and show it to us. You always lost before and never seemed to win."
"Hmm. Okay." Lin Haitao said excitedly, "Grandpa, thanks to Brother Qing, the stone I got through my bet is indeed pretty good. It's just that the color is off."
After saying that, he invited Mr. Zheng and the others inside, and quickly carefully took out the freshly baked piece of purple jade from the bag and placed it on the coffee table to show it to Mr. Zheng and the others.
"Oh, this is violet jade!" When he saw it, Mr. Deng exclaimed out loud, "It's so beautiful. I have only seen finished violet jade before, but I have never seen violet rough stone!"
Mr. Zheng quickly saw it clearly and nodded repeatedly: "This is indeed the jade material of violet jade. The quality of the jade is also good and it is relatively transparent. The bracelet made of violet jade is a masterpiece among jade bracelets, but it is a pity that it is like
Such natural quality jade bracelets are rare on the market.”
Lin Haitao suddenly said with joy: "Grandpa, the violet jade bracelet is noble and elegant, and it is very suitable for grandma to wear, so I want to make this piece of jade into a bracelet and give it to grandma. I think she will like it very much!"
Mr. Zheng said happily: "Your grandma wanted to buy a violet jade bracelet, but she couldn't find one of high quality. Your material should be about the same. Looking at the size of this jade, I guess she can get a bracelet out of it."
"Master, we have enough materials!" He Qing said with a smile, "I will use the Haitao jade to make a custom-made violet jadeite for my wife, and I will carve it."
"Haha, that's great!" He Qing nodded and agreed. He had already heard about He Qing's skill in carving jade, and believed that his craftsmanship was not bad, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now he finally had the opportunity to meet his apprentice Shen Shen.
The hidden jade carving technique.
He finally laughed again, and the original unhappy look on his face had been driven away. Seeing that Lin Haitao finally turned defeat into victory and won a piece of fine jade, he felt happy in his heart.
"Haitao, you are so filial. As soon as you win a good stone by gambling, you think of making a bracelet for grandma!" Mr. Deng standing aside praised.
Lin Haitao said: "This is what it should be."
After Mr. Zheng and the others chatted for a while about Lin Haitao's exquisite violet jadeite, Lin Haitao said: "Grandpa, Mr. Deng, my stone is actually just like this. Compared with Brother Qing's, it's really not that good."
It’s worth mentioning, his piece is the real good jade!”
"There is another piece of good jade?!" Mr. Zheng said in surprise. He thought it was just the piece of good jade in Lin Haitao's hand. Unexpectedly, Lin Haitao suddenly said that. According to what he meant, the piece in He Qing's hand was not rare.
A treasure.
"Xiao He, please take out your stone and show it to us." Mr. Deng said curiously.
He Qing nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Yes, yes, but I only cut two holes in this stone."
As he spoke, he took out the piece of jade that was one size larger than Lin Haitao's from the small bag he carried with him. As soon as the stone was revealed, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng's eyes widened.
"Beautiful!" Mr. Zheng praised, "This is probably made of glass, right?! It's the best kind of jadeite!"
Mr. Deng also praised loudly: "It must be grown in Laokeng Glass! Old Zheng, you see, the key is the color, it is so rich and green, which is rare!"
Lin Haitao chatted: "When this stone was rubbed and cut in public in a jade shop, someone said that its color reached the level of emerald. Also, someone had already asked Brother Qing to buy it."
"Anyone wants to buy this stone?" Mr. Zheng asked in surprise, "Don't sell such a good thing easily, because it is too rare. Jadeite of this grade is often priceless but not marketable!"
"Isn't that right?" Lin Haitao said, "There is a big boss who particularly likes Brother Qing's semi-gambling stone with a high green color. He offered the price up to 12 million, but Brother Qing resolutely rejected him. He brought
I came back, I just made another incision, and the price has increased sharply again, I guess the price will increase again!"
"Xiao He was right to reject the boss." Zheng Laosong said in a tone, "The value of top-grade jadeite and top-grade diamond is almost the same. If what you get in the end is really a piece of glass emerald, it will not be worth twelve million.
As far as I can measure, an imperial green jade bracelet must cost at least 50 million yuan! And this stone is not small. It is estimated that two small jade bracelets can be taken out, and the rest can be used as pendants or rings.
The ingredients for the noodles and egg noodles together are of immeasurable value! Xiao He, have you known about gambling on stones before? You have been learning for a long time, right?"
He Qing quickly shook his head and replied: "No, master, this is my second time gambling on stones. In fact, the first time can't be counted as gambling on stones. I just got a piece of jade wool by accident, and then it went up a little bit."
, this is my second time betting on stones.”
What he said was the truth. He had indeed only bet on stones once. However, he had just absorbed the experience of an old man in stone gambling not long ago, and he seemed to have become an expert on stone gambling. However, except for himself, no one could do it.
Just don't know about this situation.
"That's amazing! Xiaohe, you are so lucky!" Mr. Deng said as if he couldn't believe his ears, "The imperial green jadeite was grown by Laokeng Glass. This is the real top-grade jadeite."
Oh! Apart from your stone, I’m afraid there’s no other stone in the world now. Even if someone else had gambled on it before, it would have been made into jade long ago and put to good use!”
Mr. Zheng said: "If I have such a good piece of jade, I can keep it for myself. This will definitely be a big treasure!"
He Qing said solemnly: "Master, that's what I think about you, so I don't want to talk to that boss."
After seeing He Qing's excellent jadeite, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng were very excited. They thought it was a miracle, but they didn't know that it was not entirely accidental. He Qing valued it very much.
That piece of material was just his guess that was correct. Of course, he borrowed other people's stone gambling skills.
After taking a look at the two stones, Mr. Zheng asked He Qing and the others to put the stones away carefully and not let others see them. As the saying goes, "It is a crime to cherish a jade", especially He Qing's imperial green jadeite, which is so good.
A piece of jade may be worth hundreds of millions. Who would be tempted to see it, for fear that someone would become thief.
Later, when it was getting late, He Qing and Mr. Zheng walked to the hotel restaurant to have dinner together.
At the dinner table, He Qing suddenly asked: "Master, didn't you say you have good news to tell us? What good news is it?"
