Chapter 140: One sword to heaven and one sword to hell (3)
"What's the matter, Mr. Xu? This stall has good feng shui. I opened two pieces of wool and they were all swollen. I'm sure your piece didn't go away. Just go and cut it. It's better to keep it."
Zhuang Rui was also encouraging beside him. At this time, the jade merchants who were about to choose wool also gathered around the table and observed the half-bucket wool with the window that Xu Wei bought.
"The water head is good, no white mist can be seen, and there are no cracks. I bought it for 3 million, and it was worth it!"
The jade merchant, known as Lao Huo, after obtaining Xu Wei's consent, looked at it carefully for several minutes with a strong flashlight and came to this conclusion.
After hearing Lao Huo's words, Xu Wei glanced sideways at Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan, and couldn't help but feel a little wandering in his heart. You two bumpkin's who opened the jadeite are purely lucky. We are just gambling on this.
That's what really stresses the skill of eyesight.
"Boss Xu, do you intend to sell this piece of wool? I am willing to pay 3.2 million to buy it. What do you think?"
Perhaps wanting to taint the happiness of Zhuang and Liu, Lao Huo took a fancy to Xu Wei's piece of semi-gambling material and offered Xu Wei a price.
"I'm from Xu's Jewelry Company in the South. I'm in charge of affairs in South China. I'm here to buy wool. Boss Huo, I'm sorry. I fell in love with this piece of wool at a glance. It's not like some people who just rely on luck."
Seeing that Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan only spent 8,000 and 8,000 yuan to buy the whole gambling material, but they actually gave out jade worth tens of millions, Xu Wei felt very uncomfortable. You know, just this half piece in his hand
Betting on raw materials, even if the bet goes up, the price is only around 7 to 8 million, which is a far cry from Liu Chuan's.
"Hey, Xu Bailian, we choose wool materials based on our eyesight and experience, otherwise we can get 20 million jadeite. If you think you are better than me, take out your piece of wool and let everyone
You guys should open your eyes and see Boss Xu’s stone gambling skills.”
Liu Chuan's words made everyone laugh. No one in this scene would believe that he relied on his eyesight when choosing wool. However, Liu Chuan's sarcastic words made Xu Wei's fair face irritated.
He turned red, stood up suddenly, and said: "Since Boss Liu has seen it, I will grant your wish."
"Gu Gu, can you help me untie this piece of wool?"
Although Xu Wei agreed to do the stone work on the spot, he was not very proficient in stone work and was not much better than Zhuang Rui. Therefore, he wanted to ask the old man to do it, so that he could maximize the jade in the wool.
, completely dissected.
According to common sense, people who are into the jade industry like to unravel stones. The satisfaction of unpicking jade from stones with their own hands is indescribable. However, after hearing Xu Wei's words, Gu Gu shook his head,
He said: "The old man solved two stones today and is a little tired. Boss Xu should hire someone else."
Gu Gu also saw Xu Wei's half-bet piece of wool just now. To be honest, he is also very optimistic about this piece of wool. The possibility of betting on it will be high, but there were too many surprises today. There were two pieces of wool that were considered waste.
, they all solved the jadeite, and the grade was pretty good, which made the old man murmur in his heart, it was only three things, could it be that Xu Wei should be the one?
Moreover, unraveling the two pieces of wool just now indeed took a lot of energy from the old man. Although it seems that Zhuang Rui has already discovered the jade, the subsequent work of wiping the stone and removing the surface was very delicate.
If you are not careful, you will damage the jade inside. Therefore, the old man looks very relaxed, but in fact, the energy spent is far beyond everyone's imagination.
However, the old man also wanted to know what this half piece of wool was like, so he said to Xu Wei: "Let's do this, I will give you a few lines, you follow the lines I drew, cut it first, and then look at it
Let’s see how this piece of wool performs.”
Xu Wei, who was a little disappointed at first, was overjoyed when he heard this. Everyone had seen how good the old man was at cutting stones. Now he is willing to draw the stone cutting lines on the wool. It is not much different from cutting it by himself. Even if it breaks or is injured.
The jadeite inside can be easily explained to the family. After all, it was cut under the guidance of the ancients. Xu Wei thought about this and quickly handed over the chalk.
"Wooden wood, do you think there is any jade in the stone this guy bought? Looking at how awesome and coaxing he was just now, I'm not happy." Liu Chuan touched Zhuang Rui with his elbow and asked in a low voice.
"Anyway, I don't feel very good. You also know that I buy antiques based on my feeling. That piece of wool is probably quite strong. Then again, why do you care so much? You kid made 20 million for nothing. You can eat your own meat."
Why don’t you let others drink the soup?”
Zhuang Rui's voice was very low for the first few words, but for the next few words, he deliberately raised his voice so that people more than ten meters away could hear him clearly.
"That's right, that's right, I'm afraid some people can't even drink the soup." Liu Chuan said with a smile.
Xu Wei ignored the two men and walked to the stone cutting machine holding the woolen material that the old man had drawn.
At this exhibition, more and more people gathered in the D exhibition hall. Not only the jade merchants and tourists, but also the various exhibitors who participated in the exhibition came to watch the excitement. After all, this stall had two huge stones.
, it is also a good story when it is spread out.
What's more, Xu Wei is preparing to unravel the stone again. If he bets on the price again, let alone at this fair, which is not a formal trading of raw materials, even at the major jade public markets, it will be an extremely rare thing. In the future,
It will definitely become a topic of conversation for these people in the venue after dinner.
The huge exhibition hall was crowded with people, but it was completely silent. No one made a sound. They all held their breath and looked at Xu Wei who was about to cut the stone.
"Ouch..."
Xu Wei started the stone cutter and aimed at the white line drawn by the old man. Just when he was about to cut it, a loud voice came from his ears. Xu Wei, who was already very nervous, was frightened.
Shivering, he almost cut to the green side of the window. Xu Wei raised his head angrily, only to see Liu Chuan looking at him with a sad face.
"I said, General Manager Xu, you can't just sit around. I have a severe stomachache right now. I want to go to the toilet. I'm afraid of missing the show. You hurry up and cut quickly. I didn't see these few people outside."
Hundreds of people are waiting."
Liu Chuan's words made everyone in the venue curse in their hearts. If you hadn't interrupted others, the stone would have been solved long ago. But looking at Liu Chuan's unreasonable face, no one came out to uphold justice.
Standing next to the stone cutting machine and taking a deep breath, Xu Wei calmed down and started the machine to cut where the white line had been drawn. This time, Liu Chuan did not say anything to cause trouble. In the midst of a harsh "click" sound
, that half piece of wool was divided into two.
"Alas..." A huge sigh came out from the crowd tightly gathered at the front. The people behind did not need to ask, but they knew that the knife must have been cut to pieces. At this time, Xu Wei had a look on his face.
With an expression of disbelief, he stared blankly at the flat section of wool on the ground.
The old man stood up and picked up the half of the woolen material with the window open. After looking at it for about a minute, he shook his head and said: "This piece of woolen material can produce at most three or five pendants. It is basically useless.
Young man, just think of spending money as a lesson."
The old man's words made Xu Wei want to cry. This lesson was too expensive. The funds he could use to purchase jade raw materials this time were only five million, and now he had thrown away three million.
Coupled with the turmoil caused by the British jewelry designer some time ago, I am afraid that the people in the family who are trying to trick me have found another excuse to attack me.
Almost rudely, Xu Wei snatched the half piece of wool from the old man's hand, and cut it into two halves. However, the cut surface was still a slightly white mist-like stone, with no trace of green at all, and a bit red.
Xu Wei was stunned and wiped the stone from the green window again.
After a long while, Xu Wei finally stopped with a decadent expression. In his hand, there was just a piece of flat material that was only the size of the palm of his hand. As the old man said, it was only enough to make three or five Guanyin and the like.
It’s made of pendants, and it’s just made of egg green. If three or five pendants can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan, it’s considered very good.
"Boy, brother, I accidentally made 20 million today. Do you think the Tibetan Impala I bought is a bit low-grade? With my wealth, I should at least drive a Mercedes-Benz. Wow, some people are so pitiful.
, I even lost the bet on my pants. Is this the one the old man talked about about heaven and hell?"
Liu Chuan's mood at this time was really incomparable, as if he had drank a glass of draft beer after being exposed to the sun for several hours at a temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius, feeling comfortable and refreshed from head to toe.
Hearing this, Xu Wei could no longer suppress his anger, but he still maintained his rationality and did not throw away the information worth hundreds of thousands in his hand. He rushed towards Liu Chuan, as if he wanted to argue with Liu Chuan.
Before Xu Wei even took two steps, he was grabbed by a person who had just squeezed in from outside the crowd. He even cursed and said: "Damn it, Xu Wei, you kid is actually teasing me, those two little girls."
You didn't tell me that we had bodyguards around us, and I got slapped in the face. Tell me clearly, or I will ask you to get out of Nanjing tomorrow."
The person who came was none other than Wang Nui, who had just made a fool of himself in Exhibition Hall A. At this time, the five finger marks on his face had not yet been removed. He grabbed Xu Wei and dragged him out of the crowd, presumably to vent his anger on Mr. Xu.
"Fuck you, you want to play with women and you blame me."
Xu Wei, who always seemed very polite to others, burst out with curse words and shook Wang Nui's hand away, but he didn't have the shame to stay here anymore. He held the piece of jade and lowered his head to squeeze through the crowd.
When Wang Tui came back to his senses and saw Liu Chuan and others, he was so frightened that he ran away for fear of running too slow. Five finger prints were also printed on the other half of his face.
