Chapter 203 I’d rather buy one line than one piece
When Xu Zhendong asked, he didn't even bother to close the door, which caused people outside the office to prick up their ears. As expected, gossip was everywhere.
"Uncle, what's the matter? I just arrived in Guangzhou yesterday, what kind of conflict can I have with that kid?"
Xu Wei saw that Xu Zhendong looked unkind and did not dare to tell what he did at the airport. Besides, Da Biao was from the northwest and was now in the hospital. He asked Da Biao to teach Zhuang Rui a lesson. As long as he didn't say anything, there would be no problem.
People will know.
"It's fine if you don't. Remember, don't provoke that person."
Xu Zhendong's expression softened, and he turned around and closed the door of the office. In his eyes, although his nephew had returned from studying abroad, he was still a little arrogant and far less stable than Zhuang Rui.
Xu Wei nodded, but still didn't dare to ask what happened that made Xu Zhendong look so impatient.
"Mr. Xu, that piece of wool is in the warehouse. Is there any problem?"
Master Zhao was also a little puzzled. He was having dinner with Xu Wei. Xu Zhendong just called him and asked him to rush back to the company and asked if the piece of wool had been put into the warehouse. Normally, someone would do these things.
There is no need for them to personally ask.
"Old Zhao, you need to rest for a while. We will prepare to dismantle the stone in the afternoon."
Xu Zhendong took a deep breath. I don't know why, but there was always a shadow in his heart. If he didn't take out the jadeite from the piece of wool, Xu Zhendong probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Master Zhao was stunned when he heard this. He had already solved a piece of wool this morning. After all, he was nearly sixty years old. He was a little tired both physically and mentally. He was not suitable for continuing to solve stones. Moreover, that piece of wool
It is still so precious, and if there is any mistake, it will cause heavy losses.
Thinking of this, Master Zhao said: "Mr. Xu, let's forget it today. Let's pick a good day and pay homage to the Second Master Guan before we solve it. We are not in a hurry for one or two days."
Cantonese people attach great importance to a good life. Not only weddings and funerals, but also when visiting friends abroad, they will check whether it is suitable. This piece of wool is extremely precious. If it is according to Master Zhao's idea, a ceremony will be held.
.
Xu Zhendong waved his hands a little irritably when he heard this, and said: "No need to worry about that anymore, let's check first to see if this piece of wool has been tampered with..."
"Have any manipulations been done to the wool? No way, Mr. Xu, that piece of wool has been seen by dozens of people, and we have also checked it carefully. It should be a rough stone grown in Laokeng, Myanmar. This is unmistakable.
."
After Master Zhao heard Xu Zhendong's words, he was surprised and opened his mouth. However, he has also been in the stone gambling circle for decades. He is confident that with his own eyes, he will not be able to distinguish between real and fake wool.
.
As mentioned above, many people now use various means to deceive jadeite rough stones, but those means can generally only deceive people who are new to the stone gambling circle, such as Song Jun, who has the same level as Master Zhao, and jadeites.
If you have been dealing with people who have dealt with raw stones all your life, if you can't tell the difference between real and fake, it will be impossible for you to be a stone betting consultant for a jewelry company.
Xu Zhendong didn't want to hide anything from the two of them anymore, and sighed and said: "When we were eating just now, the man named Han told me that the guy asked someone to tell him that Zhuang Rui and Xu Wei were good friends and asked him not to make any more offers.
Okay, now I have some doubts, Xu Wei, tell me yourself, can you be called friends?"
Xu Zhendong said what he had been holding in his heart for a long time and felt much better.
"Uncle, I've been unlucky every time I met him. How can I dare to make friends with him?"
After hearing what Xu Zhendong said, Xu Wei panicked. Could it be that he knew about his revenge on Zhuang Rui and now he was using fake wool to retaliate against himself?
Xu Wei is not stupid. After hearing Zhuang Rui's words in the morning, he knew that what he did at the airport was already known to Zhuang Rui. He would definitely not be so kind as to help Xu's jewelry get this piece of wool. However,
The fact is that Zhuang Rui helped them get this piece of wool. Is there really something wrong with this wool?
Xu Wei was a little confused now. According to Master Zhao, there is obviously nothing wrong with this piece of wool, but there is no reasonable explanation for Zhuang Rui's behavior. Logically speaking, Zhuang Rui should do everything possible to prevent them from buying this piece of wool.
.
But how did Xu Wei know that Zhuang Rui took out this piece of wool to solve it, and it was originally aimed at him. If the boss named Han ruined things, Zhuang Rui would not be happy even if he made money.
That's why he asked the fourth child to send a message to Boss Han.
Although if this matter spreads, Xu Zhendong will be aware of it, but Zhuang Rui will not care so much at that time. If the wool material is not photographed by Xu's jewelry, Zhuang Rui's efforts will be wasted.
.
"Uncle, when I came back from the airport, a friend of mine had a little conflict with that guy, but it has nothing to do with me." Xu Wei didn't dare to hide what happened at the airport anymore, so he found an excuse.
come out.
"You bastard, why didn't you say anything when I asked you just now?" When Xu Zhendong heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"Brother Zhao, we will unravel the stone right away."
Xu Zhendong didn't bother to reprimand Xu Wei at this moment. This piece of wool was like a cancer growing next to his heart. He would not feel at ease until he untied the wool.
"Okay, let's go and untie that piece of wool now, but Mr. Xu, you don't have to worry so much. As long as the wool is genuine, no matter what the young man does, he can't make this piece of material disappear. Let's
Nothing will be lost."
Master Zhao's words made Xu Zhendong feel a little more at ease. Naturally, he would not have thought that in Zhuang Rui's eyes, the jadeite stone, which is said to be something that no instrument in the world can see through, is as clear as a piece of white paper.
No child's flaws can hide from the prying eyes of his eyes.
The jadeite wool grown in Laokeng was certainly not fake, but what they saw might not be real.
The headquarters of Xu's Jewelry is close to Xu's Jewelry Processing Factory. The piece of wool that I bet on in the morning was placed in the warehouse of the headquarters. After Xu Zhendong gave the order, security guards naturally led the staff to open the warehouse.
, pushed the piece of wool to the factory on a cart.
The stone-cleaning machines in Xu's jewelry and jade processing factory are much more sophisticated than those in the stone gambling venues. There are more than ten kinds of stone-cleaning machines, large and small, and some precision instruments can even remove dust from the surface of jadeite.
All dust, big and small, is removed.
After the wool was brought over, the few people did not start to unravel the stone immediately. Instead, Master Zhao took it upon himself to scrub the wool from top to bottom. At the place where the skylight was opened, he even used pig bristles to clean the stone.
The made brush carefully cleaned the dust and stone chips inside, staring at the jade inside.
This washing process took more than ten minutes. After Master Zhao stood up, he didn't bother to wipe the dust on his face and said to Xu Zhendong: "Mr. Xu, there is nothing wrong with this piece of wool. It is a real old pit material."
."
After Xu Zhendong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are there any signs of hands or feet being moved?"
You know, even the wool grown in the old pit can be divided into good and bad. It can also be pieced together from the unraveled wool. This is not something that has never happened before.
"No, this is a single piece of material. It should have come from the Pagang Factory. The color is very pure and was not painted on later. There should be no problem. Mr. Xu, can we solve it today?"
According to Master Zhao's idea, it would be better to wait for a good and auspicious day to open the jade stone. He was indeed a little tired today. If someone fails to hold on and destroys the jadeite inside, the loss will be huge.
“Get it now!!!”
Xu Zhendong nodded heavily, and then said: "Brother Zhao, I will work harder on you today. Once the jadeite in this piece of wool is taken out, our company's supply of high-end jewelry will be solved, and the remaining few
Just go and gamble on some mid- to low-grade woolen fabrics and come back. After these few days of work, I won’t treat you badly and I’ll give you a few days off.”
"Okay, let's do it then."
Since the boss made a request, Master Zhao had no choice but to obey. However, what the three people present did not expect was that in just a few days, after today, Master Zhao would take a holiday from Xu's Jewelry forever.
Extracting jadeite from wool is different from cutting stone. Cutting stone is done with one knife, and you can know immediately whether it has risen or fallen. It will be very enjoyable for both the person who cuts it and the person who looks at it.
But cracking stones is relatively boring, especially for high-end jadeite materials. You need to use a grinder to carefully wipe off the outer layer of the wool bit by bit. It takes several hours or even several hours to crack dozens of kilograms of stone.
day time.
Master Zhao was also careful enough. He started polishing the first skylight that Zhuang Rui opened with a grinding wheel. The shape of the jade in that area seemed to have penetrated into the stone. According to Master Zhao's experience, there should be no
It will turn green again.
However, ten minutes later, Master Zhao wiped out another door as big as his palm next to the skylight. He immediately frowned. After washing the door with clean water, he did not wipe it again.
I squatted there and observed.
When Xu Wei saw the newly cleaned door, he was a little puzzled by Master Zhao's sad face, and couldn't help but said: "Uncle Zhao, it seems that this is really a whole piece of jade, and there is green on the side.
There should be a little more material than we estimated, right?"
"Master Xu, let's take a look and talk..."
Master Zhao waved his hand, his expression serious, and even Xu Zhendong felt something was wrong.
In the stone gambling circle, there is a jargon called "I would rather buy a thread than a piece of jade." The jadeite connected under the skin made Master Zhao feel a little bad.
