This is quite reasonable. It is not wrong for businessmen to pursue profits. Even Mr. Tang also runs a jewelry company called "Legendary Jade". The purpose of his coming to bet on stones is also for the company's supply of goods.
If you look purely at the value of the jadeite, it is indeed Zhuang Rui who wins, but in terms of the rarity of the jadeite, Tang Lao is slightly better, so it is difficult to make this matter clear.
"You can't say that. If you have money, you can buy green glass materials, but can you buy jewelry with purple eyes?"
The rush of words caused two people from different camps to quarrel. Everyone had their own opinions, and it was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong.
Zhuang Rui looked a little funny on the sidelines. It's not his own thing. As for arguing like this? There is a piece of imperial green material over there, but I haven't seen him as excited as you.
"Xiao... Xiaozhuang, you... come and see, this green... this green!"
Suddenly, Mr. Tang's voice rang out. When he greeted Zhuang Rui, his voice was trembling. It was obvious that his heart was not at peace, which caused everyone to stop arguing and turn to look at Mr. Tang.
"Mr. Tang, this... this green is very rich..."
Zhuang Rui knew it well, but he still had a look of surprise on his face. He held the piece of jade that had been rubbed open in his hand and observed it carefully.
The transparent, water-like glass jade is as dark green as the broad-leaved trees in the primeval forests of Myanmar. Under the strong light, it looks so crystal clear and profound, exuding endless alluring luster.
The color of jade makes Zhuang Rui's hands look green, and the slightly active brilliance makes people fascinated by it at first sight.
This is still unpolished jade raw material. Only after processing can the charm of imperial green jade be fully displayed.
"It's not very rich. If I read it correctly, it's an imperial green material!"
Mr. Tang's face was tired after polishing the stone, but he looked very excited. Although the imperial green material was rare, Mr. Tang had seen it several times in the past decades and even solved it himself.
But whether it was the imperial green jade that Mr. Tang solved or the one he had seen, the largest one was only the size of a baby's fist at best.
But the piece of jadeite in Zhuang Rui's hand weighs seven or eight kilograms, and the sun green on it is distributed very evenly, with no difference in shades. It can be considered a whole piece of imperial green jadeite!
You know, if an imperial green ring the size of a small fingernail appears in an auction house, it can fetch at least tens of millions. It is still hard to find, and only one or two appear occasionally.
And Zhuang Rui's piece of solid material, whether in terms of market value or appreciation, far exceeds Tang Lao's piece of purple-eyed jade.
After all, green is the king of jade. When this green reaches its extreme, it is the king of jade. This is a fact that no one can dispute!
“Emperor Green?!!!”
"Mr. Tang, is this... really the imperial green?!"
"It's so beautiful. I have never seen such green jade..."
After Mr. Tang said the words "imperial green", the remaining seventy or eighty people in the venue suddenly became silent.
However, this kind of silence was like a precursor to the coming storm. It only lasted for a short five or six seconds. The emotions of everyone in the venue boiled violently like a drop of cold water poured into a frying pan.
As the name suggests, imperial green is the king of jade. Anyone who plays with jade will definitely know this term. However, among a hundred jade merchants, only one may have seen the real imperial green.
The remaining 99 people's impression of the imperial green could only remain in the legend, so when Mr. Tang judged it to be the imperial green jade, everyone crowded forward, eager to hold it in their hands and play with it.
.
"Hey, I said, don't grab it. Damn it, what does this mean?"
Seventy or eighty of them rushed over at the same time, which shocked Zhuang Rui. If it really broke, he wouldn't even be able to cry. Zhuang Rui shouted and ran around the stone cutter.
.
The Burmese soldiers who were still on guard duty had not dispersed yet. They protected Zhuang Rui with guns in hand. Facing the black muzzles of the guns, those fanatical people suddenly woke up.
"Everyone, I can understand everyone's feelings, but this person has many skills. If something happens, it will not be good for us. I hope my friends can understand..."
Zhuang Rui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Dealing with this scene was much more tiring than Jie Shi. One of these seventy or eighty pairs of hands could knock him out with just one slap.
"Teacher Zhuang, can... can you let me take a look? Can you hold it in your hand and I won't touch it?"
"Yes, yes, Teacher Zhuang, you hold it in the palm of your hand. We will look at each one and never reach out..."
"That's right, Teacher Zhuang, please, I, Lao Zhang, have been playing with jade for half my life, but I have never seen imperial green material before. It's embarrassing to tell anyone..."
Although the people who surrounded Zhuang Rui stopped reaching out to grab it, they began to plead with each other. You must know that the imperial green jadeite is a legend to the jade merchants!
So today, as they were able to observe the legendary jade at close range, these wealthy bosses with considerable status lowered their posture and began to beg Zhuang Rui kindly.
"this……"
Zhuang Rui felt a little embarrassed. From a very real point of view, no one wanted to let others admire such precious jade in public. However, the pity people said made Zhuang Rui hesitate.
After all, beautiful things are meant to be displayed, and this is Zhuang Rui's purpose in opening a museum. If he doesn't agree to everyone's request now, it would seem that he is being petty.
"Brother Zhuang, give it to me, I'll show it to them..."
Peng Fei touched Zhuang Rui with his elbow, took the jade from his hand, and said to everyone present: "I'll show it to everyone. You can take pictures if you want, but don't take pictures of me..."
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this. With Peng Fei's skill, nothing would go wrong.
"I'll come, I'll come first..."
"Let me go first, Lao Yu, and take a picture for me later..."
"Hey, hey, I said, buddy, don't squeeze. Didn't you see me standing in front?"
"Don't worry, everyone. This friend said that everyone can see it. Let's go up one by one..."
When they heard that they could observe the imperial green at close range and take pictures, the crowd became commotion again, but this time everyone was relatively sensible and there was no crowding.
Not to mention the people standing in front who happily stepped forward to observe the imperial green material and take photos, there was a person who quietly walked up to Zhuang Rui and Mr. Tang.
"Tang...Mr. Tang, can I ask a question?"
Mr. Tang, who was eating the bread handed over by Zhuang Rui to satisfy his hunger, suddenly heard someone talking next to him. He was slightly stunned and said, "If you have any questions, just ask me. As long as I know, I will answer you..."
Mr. Tang is well-known in the jade circle for being easy to talk to. His attitude made the man breathe a sigh of relief and said cautiously: "Tang... Mr. Tang, Teacher Zhuang has solved the Imperial Green, then... then between you two
Who won this competition?"
The person who spoke, no need to ask, was of course Lao Guo. The sudden appearance of Imperial Green made his originally calm heart start to worry about gains and losses again. After all, the previous bet was still valid.
Moreover, the gambling capital of more than 40 million is not a small sum, it is almost more than Lao Guo's entire net worth. This makes Lao Guo feel entangled in his heart and does not know what to do.
He originally wanted to ask others to mention this issue, but after waiting for a long time, the topic was not brought up. After holding it in place for several times, Lao Guo finally plucked up the courage to raise this matter with Mr. Tang.
"Hey, man, it's great that everyone is happy. Why are you bringing this up?"
"That's right. The imperial green that Mr. Zhuang solved is certainly the king of jade, but Mr. Tang's purple eyes are not bad either. You are such a disappointment..."
"Hey, you came early today. Everyone else is betting. Of course you have to know who wins and who loses..."
Lao Guo's words attracted the attention of those who were looking at the imperial green material. Several people were dissatisfied with Lao Guo's words and started to criticize him one after another.
However, someone immediately came forward to help Lao Guo out of the siege. The tie just happened before the imperial green jadeite came out. Now that Zhuang Rui has produced an emperor of jadeite from this material, naturally it can no longer be treated as a tie.
And since it is a competition, there must be a winner or loser, and this win or loss is also a very important matter for Zhuang Rui, who was controversial beforehand.
At this moment, everyone's eyes moved away from the imperial green jade, and all looked at Mr. Tang and Zhuang Rui. Looking at the white-haired Mr. Tang and the prosperous Zhuang Rui, everyone suddenly felt a feeling of saying "No".
The feeling of coming out.
This feeling is very strange. Two people with an age difference of thirty or forty years stand together, and their shadows overlap on the ground. Everyone seems to see the shadow of Mr. Tang from Zhuang Rui, and they seem to see the shadow from Mr. Tang's face.
The image of Zhuang Rui.
At this moment, the old Mr. Tang seemed to have become younger, and Zhuang Rui's young face seemed to be full of vicissitudes of life, giving everyone a sense of time intertwined.
Like a handover between the old and new kings of the jade industry, Mr. Tang suddenly smiled and said calmly: "Xiao Zhuang won this competition, whether it was this piece of jade or Zhuang Rui's.
Anyone who appreciates jade skills can be called the Jade King of the world!"
Mr. Tang's voice was not loud, but it made everyone realize that what they just felt was actually the birth of a new king!
"Zhuang Rui, Jade King! You deserve it!"
A shout came from the crowd, representing the aspirations of everyone in the venue!
Everyone in the venue felt extremely lucky at this moment, because... they witnessed an important moment in the development of jadeite.
