Chapter four hundred and eighty fifth gambling (three)
Chapter 485: Gambling (3)
"It's not green yet, Brother Hu, maybe it's not as good as your piece of material..."
Zhuang Rui smiled, but instead of continuing to rub the stone from the bottom, he changed the angle and started rubbing the middle part of the piece of wool with the stone wiping machine.
Although Zhuang Rui didn't know how to carve and design, he considered the jadeite inside as a whole. It seemed that the crystalline material on the base was left, more like an jadeite tree. If the stone underneath was wiped away now, it would not be able to be filled in by then.
Going up.
As I said before, the person who cut this piece of wool must have scolded the Buddha that day. He was so unlucky that the two cuts were only three to five centimeters away from the green point. Zhuang Rui polished the cut surface for about 10 minutes.
After that, the green jade appeared in front of everyone.
"This...how is this possible?"
Hu Rong was completely shocked at this time. He could understand how to remove the jadeite from the bottom, but Zhuang Rui randomly changed the place, and it was still the same cut surface, and it turned out green.
The green spot is about ten centimeters away from the base. In other words, this piece of jade should be quite big. Even if it is made of pea green, it is much more valuable than the piece of material Hu Ronggang solved.
This made Hu Rong's old face a little embarrassed. Zhuang Rui extracted jadeite from such a piece of recognized waste. Doesn't that mean that the Hu family are all blind people who actually used such a piece of wool?
Put it in the scrap area and sell it.
"Uncle Hu, this kind of water is good, it can reach ice. This big brother is really amazing. I have seen this material like Uncle Hu. It feels like a waste. I didn't expect this big brother to be able to extract jadeite. I admire you."
, I really admire..."
After the little king rubbed the green on the side, he immediately rinsed it with clean water. The jadeite that was the size of a matchbox was full of green. The water droplets sliding down the jadeite seemed to have turned green.
"Haha, I'm a very stubborn person. I often have troubles with myself. After seeing this ringworm, if I don't untie the material, I will feel unhappy. Luck, it's all luck. It's not as good as Brother Hu who only relies on his eyesight to bet on the rise.
of……"
When Zhuang Rui saw Hu Rong's face suddenly turned ugly, he thought it was because he had won that he was unhappy. Little did he know that what Hu Rong was unhappy about now was that a member of his own large family had poor eyesight.
There is actually no one who can compare to Zhuang Rui.
Judging from the color of the seed water on this piece of material, a rough estimate shows that the value of the jadeite in this piece of wool is at least tens of millions. The Hu family's behavior of treating it as waste is, to put it mildly, a mistake.
To put it bluntly, it means being blind.
"Brother, don't put gold on my face. I'm really not as good as you in this bet. I'm afraid even if the "Emerald King" from Yunnan comes, I'm not as good as you. I lost our bet...
…”
It wasn't that Hu Rong was reluctant to part with the money, but he felt that he had been gambling on stones ever since he wore crotchless pants, and his skills over the decades were actually not as good as Zhuang Rui's. His face was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Wang and Zhuang Rui's words gave him a
At the bottom of the steps, he flattered Zhuang Rui a few words. These words of admitting defeat were also expressed with sincerity.
After hearing Hu Rong's words, the onlookers looked at Zhuang Rui in astonishment. They did not expect that Hu Rong's evaluation of Zhuang Rui would be so high. In the stone gambling circle, he is known as the "Emerald King"
Who has never heard that Hu Rong actually said that "Emerald King" is not as good as Zhuang Rui? This will definitely be big news.
"Brother Hu, what do you think of this piece of material?"
"Of course it's yours. I can afford to lose this little thing..." Hu Rong interrupted Zhuang Rui unhappily.
Hearing this, Zhuang Rui said dumbfounded: "Brother Hu, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm asking if you should continue to unpack this piece of material?"
Hu Rong circled around the original stone and said, "Untie it. It's not easy to carry because it's so big..."
"good……"
Zhuang Rui agreed, picked up the stone polishing machine and continued to unravel it. However, the jadeite in the original stone was more complex, in the shape of a tree, and in some places, it was mixed with jade of poorer quality. Zhuang Rui explained
Shi moved very slowly.
"Brother, let me resolve the matter..."
More than an hour later, Hu Rong took the grinder from Zhuang Rui's hand. He never thought that the jadeite in this piece of wool would look like this. It took more than an hour to remove four to five centimeters of green.
came out and continued to extend downward.
If there is a fault, it can be cut with a knife, but the jadeite in the original stone is a whole, and Hu Rong dare not say anything about cutting it.
You must know that the carving of jade ornaments is often determined based on the shape of the jade itself. If the jade in this material has a good shape, it will collapse with a knife, greatly reducing its value.
When Hu Rong polished the rough stone with a grinding wheel, he was obviously more careful than Zhuang Rui. As long as there was green or other colors, he would skip it and continue to rub it.
As a result, Hu Rong's stone removal efficiency was even lower than that of Zhuang Rui. More than an hour later, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. The crowd of onlookers had already dispersed, and only the owner of the processing plant, Xiao
Wang, was still watching from the side.
Zhuang Rui saw that Hu Rong was a big man with a full head and still refused to rest. He couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Brother Hu, how about we do it tomorrow? There should be machines for dissolving stones in the mining area, right?"
"No, we are going to figure it out today. The shape of this piece of material is very unique. Look, there are actually two kinds of chalcedony, red and yellow. With this green emerald, you can carve out a jade bonsai. It's a wonderful thing.
…”
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Hu Rong stopped. Although there was a tired look on his face, he was very energetic. Even as he spoke, his eyes were still looking at the rough stone with gleaming eyes.
Hu Rong himself is a jewelry designer. His love for jewelry design even goes beyond managing the family business. He is also the design director of a jewelry company in Taiwan. Now that he sees this high-quality and unique jadeite, of course it is
It’s time to unpack them all and take a quick look.
"Oops, I forgot that you had to fly today. I'm so sorry. Otherwise, I'd call a car to take you back to the hotel to rest, and I'll untie it today..."
Hu Rong suddenly remembered that Zhuang Rui had just arrived from Yangon today. When he arrived in Mandalay, he was dragged around by him. It was time to rest at this hour.
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said: "It's okay, Brother Hu, I'll accompany you, we can switch hands and solve it faster..."
Taking the grinder from Hu Rong's hand, Zhuang Rui changed the grinding wheel and started rubbing it against the original stone. Hu Rong was very tired after more than an hour, so he didn't give in. He lit a cigarette and sat down to rest.
Already.
Although Zhuang Rui has the advantage of being able to see the inside of the original stone, he still has to be careful when handling the jadeite, because some jadeites with split ends are very thin, and those split ends may be broken if you are not careful.
, so his movements were not very fast. After more than an hour, he only solved one-third of the jadeite.
During this period, Zhuang Rui received a call from Peng Fei. Peng Fei was afraid that something might happen to Zhuang Rui, so he rushed to the processing plant and watched Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong alternately dissecting the stone until nearly one o'clock in the morning.
Only then did the jadeite inside reveal its true appearance.
Since it was calving the stone at night, the light was not very good, so there were a few areas that were unclear and were not rubbed in. However, the outline of the entire jadeite was fully revealed.
This piece of jadeite is about twenty-five centimeters high and is in the shape of a tree trunk. It is as thick as a thumb at the top and bottom. It has four forks in the middle. What is commendable is that at each fork, there is a red and yellow jadeite that looks like an insect.
.
Put it under strong light, and from a distance, the entire jadeite looks like a bonsai dwarf tree surrounded by colorful light bulbs. Through the white crystals on the trunk, the whole body exudes an alluring charm under the light.
brilliance.
"This...this is truly a rare thing. Brother Zhuang, I want to keep this thing..."
Hu Rong's eyes were completely attracted by this piece of jade, and he murmured to himself that there was still a trace of the style of a Burmese jade tycoon.
"Brother Hu, if you like it, just keep it..."
Although Zhuang Rui felt a little distressed, Hu Rong opened his mouth to ask for it, so he couldn't refuse.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Hu Rong was stunned for a moment, waved his hands repeatedly, and said: "No... no, that's not what I meant. I mean, I will carve this jadeite, and when it is completed, I will send it to you.
, things are still yours..."
Hu Rong paused for a moment and then said: "This thing is worth at least 100 million RMB if it is carved. Brother, with your eyesight, I am convinced now..."
"One hundred million? It can't be that expensive, it's just ice material..." Zhuang Rui was a little surprised by the price Hu Rong said.
"At least 100 million. This kind of jadeite is really rare, and these jade bugs are the icing on the cake. The ice material is already very good. Brother, some people who play with strange stones only look at the shape.
I don’t care much about the ingredients…”
Hu Rong kept circling around this almost natural emerald tree, with a fanatical look in his eyes.
Zhuang Rui didn't want to take the lead. He had figured out the material himself, so why not? He then said smoothly: "Okay, Brother Hu, I'll leave it to you..."
After seeing Zhuang Rui agree, Hu Rong called the RV driver who had been waiting outside, carefully put the piece of jade in the car, and then sent Zhuang Rui back to the hotel, making an appointment to go to the mine at noon tomorrow.
.
After entering the hotel room, Zhuang Rui found Peng Fei staring at him closely and said strangely: "Peng Fei, go take a shower, are you looking at me?"
"Brother Zhuang, I went out to work on this thing today, please put it away..."
Peng Fei smiled mysteriously and took out an object from his waist, which shocked Zhuang Rui.
