"They said you left just now and then prepared to unravel the stone..."
Just because Boss Jin didn't understand it didn't mean that Zhuang Rui didn't understand it, so he immediately translated it for Boss Jin.
It was not that Zhuang Rui had never seen Westerners gambling on stones in Myanmar, but most of these people transported the rough stones back to China and then analyzed the stones. This was the first time he saw them in this stone analysis area, and he felt a little strange.
In the eyes of Westerners, jadeite is a kind of gemstone. It was not taken seriously in the early years. Even if the British once occupied Myanmar and ruled it as a colony, all they dug at that time were gold and other minerals. For jadeite
It is dismissive.
However, in the past decade or so, after Chinese jade jewelry has continuously won awards at world jewelry exhibitions, Westerners have gradually turned their attention to jade and begun to try to sell jade jewelry.
Due to the cold beauty and rarity of jadeite, jadeite jewelry quickly became the collection target of the upper class in the West, and the price was even worse than in China.
As a result, many jewelers in the West have also begun to pay attention to jade stones.
Especially in recent years, Westerners can be seen in almost every public sale, and they are generous. To a certain extent, they have formed competition with Chinese wool merchants.
Zhuang Rui's participation in the Burmese jade auction this time has something to do with these Westerners. It was a British consortium that took a fancy to Hu Rong and Zhuang Rui's jade mines and intended to acquire them. This led to Zhuang Rui's decision.
trip to Myanmar.
"Then I'm back now, do you want to give in? Speaking of which, I'm leaving, but the ingredients are still here..."
Boss Jin didn't care whether those foreigners could understand or not, he just started shouting. Now is not before liberation. Westerners are really nothing in the eyes of Chinese rich people.
"Okay, let you!"
Unexpectedly, the foreigner in the lead spoke Chinese fluently and acted more efficiently. He immediately directed the other two people to lift the rough stone.
"Tch, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf if you can speak Chinese..."
Boss Jin angrily asked the forklift to put down Lao Guo's two pieces of food, and casually handed over two 100 dollar bills as tips.
Lao Guo's two pieces of material were not big, so Boss Jin and Lao Guo lifted one and put it on the stone dissolving machine.
"You can cut stones, but he can't. Later... later..."
The foreigner suddenly stood in front of Boss Jin and said: "He comes later. You can, but he can't. He wants to be behind me. You...China must bring order!"
To be honest, Westerners do pay more attention to order than Chinese people, so just now Boss Jin asked them to get out of the way. The foreigners didn't say anything, but when they saw Lao Guo trying to jump in line, they immediately refused.
When Boss Jin heard this, he was unhappy and said, "Hey, let me tell you, I'm at the front of the queue. I can take the lead if I want to, but do you care?"
When we were in China, even those county magistrates and secretaries would smile when they met Boss Jin. Now that they are being lectured by several foreigners, they feel a little embarrassed on their faces.
Seeing the quarrel here, Burmese soldiers on guard came around, and a staff member of the organizing committee, after hearing what happened clearly, pointed at Boss Jin and said: "You can dismantle the stone first, but his
The rough stone needs to be pressed, and it can only be done after these guests have finished unpacking it..."
"Damn it, I have been enslaved and have occupied you as my grandson for decades, and you are still talking to them..."
Boss Jin was very dissatisfied with the staff's handling plan and cursed in a low voice. Those soldiers with live weapons and nuclear bombs were still very intimidating.
"Lao Guo, Teacher Zhuang, I'm really sorry. Why don't you help me first?"
Boss Jin glanced at Zhuang Rui and said cautiously: "Teacher Zhuang, can you help me take a look at it and see where is the right place to cut?"
"Okay, let me help you take a look..."
Zhuang Rui nodded. Anyway, he was here today. He could look at a piece of material or ten pieces, and it didn't cost him much energy.
"Huh? This stone..."
Zhuang Rui walked to Boss Jin's stone. He originally wanted to move the rough stone, which weighed only fifty or sixty kilograms, to the stone cutter, but when he glanced at it, he found a piece of material that he was extremely familiar with lying next to the stone cutter.
This piece of material is the piece of blue water jade that was cut off during the bidding. The winning bid price at that time was 3.8 million euros, which was 500,000 euros higher than Zhuang Rui's bid.
This blue water jadeite rough stone is in the shape of a shuttle, with a big belly in the middle and narrow sides on both sides. It weighs more than 200 kilograms, which is considered a large piece of jadeite rough stone.
However, the rough stone is rather strange. Generally speaking, in a rough stone with this shape, the jadeite inside will be in the belly-shaped place, where it is thickest, and in that place, traces of ringworm will also appear.
But this piece of material is different. About five kilograms of blue-water jadeite are all concentrated at the sharp corners of the shuttle, which is quite close to the stone skin. You only need to rub three or four centimeters into it to see the jadeite.
Zhuang Rui bought this piece of material, and the price was actually not low. He asked the master to pay for about five kilograms of jade material. At most, it would be seven or eight pairs of bracelets plus some accessories. The total market price was estimated to be around 35 million RMB.
, there is actually not much profit.
Zhuang Rui mainly took a fancy to the rarity and market popularity of blue water jadeite, so he went to take pictures of this rough stone with the attitude of not making money, but it was unexpectedly snatched away by these foreigners.
"Boss Jin, how about I show you this piece of material first and let these foreigners cut the stone first..."
Zhuang Rui had a thought in his mind. This was not the first time he had found something wrong in the jade market. What if...these foreigners were not good enough and couldn't cut the jade flesh, wouldn't they be giving themselves an advantage in vain?
"Okay, Teacher Zhuang, you said it, then let them..."
Boss Jin wished that Zhuang Rui would be more considerate and show him the rough stone, so he nodded and agreed, and the foreigner who spoke Chinese took Zhuang Rui's hand and thanked him repeatedly.
"Boss Jin, although the pieces of material you have are not big, they are not cheap, right?"
From the corner of Zhuang Rui's eyes, he was watching the foreigners moving stones and looking at Boss Jin's pieces of materials.
"Yes, Teacher Zhuang has a good eye. These three pieces of material weigh just over fifty kilograms in total, and cost me a full thirty million..."
Boss Jin nodded repeatedly, but the words he said to flatter Zhuang Rui made Zhuang Rui a little bit dumbfounded.
Because the three pieces of material that Boss Jin bought were all semi-finished rough stones, and they were all rubbed green, so it was strange that they were cheap. This is what even a newbie in the stone gambling industry can see.
"The material is good. The green color is seeping into it in threads. It is probably a thin-skinned material. It can take out a lot of jade meat. Boss Jin has a good eye..."
Zhuang Rui picked up a piece of material and commented on it. Not to mention, Boss Jin was really lucky.
The ball-sized piece of material in Zhuang Rui's hand is all high-ice jadeite with a hint of green. Zhuang Rui weighed it and estimated that it would cost about ten kilograms. This piece alone would allow Boss Jin to put it into the collection.
Got the capital back.
"Oh, thank you, Teacher Zhuang, for lending me your auspicious words. I will definitely be able to figure it out later..."
After Boss Jin heard Zhuang Rui's words, he was immediately overjoyed. He lost more than 10 million today just because he wanted to make some money by gambling on a few pieces of material.
People who gamble on stones love to hear auspicious words. Zhuang Rui's words immediately made Boss Jin's face light up with joy, but Zhuang Rui's attention at this time was focused on those Westerners.
"Steph, do you want to do it like the Chinese do?"
"George is right, let's wipe it away from this dirty place?"
The conversation between several Westerners in English fell into Zhuang Rui's ears word for word. Hearing this, Zhuang Rui wanted to laugh. There is a difference between Chinese and Western culture. It was obviously ringworm, but the foreigner called it dirty.
Something, could you try cleaning it and see if it can be washed away?
"Red, you don't understand. This is not dirty stuff. It is the jadeite that was exposed to the outside and weathered. Generally, there will be jadeite inside the stone containing this kind of material..."
Steve, who can speak Chinese, understands people, which makes Zhuang Rui a little surprised. This man looks young, but he actually knows so much about jade?
"Zhuang Rui, that person is the chief jewelry appraiser of the British Royal Family. He also has a lot of research on gems from all over the world. He has a great reputation in the international jewelry industry..."
Qin Haoran's voice rang in Zhuang Rui's ears. It turned out that this guy looked tender, but he was actually in his mid-forties. He had been studying jade for more than ten years.
Steve lived in China for a period of time and learned about jade. Later, after returning to Europe, he served as a representative of some British jewelry consortiums and came to purchase rough jade stones many times.
Zhuang Rui smiled and shook his head, feeling a little disapproving. What about the chief jewelry appraiser of the British royal family? He may not be able to see the fishiness in this material.
"Hey, I asked you guys, can you please hurry up and let you unpack the stone first? You can't drag it out, right?"
Boss Jin couldn't understand what the foreigners were discussing, so when he saw them talking endlessly, he suddenly became impatient.
Generally, people who come to analyze the stone have already chosen the material and even know how to cut the stone. There are very few people like these who sharpen their guns in battle.
"Right away, right away, I'm sorry..."
After hearing Boss Jin's words, Steve apologized very gentlemanly, but picked up the grinder and started grinding from the tinea inward.
"Hey, don't tell me, this foreigner has a lot of trouble..."
"Yes, rub it in along the edge of the ringworm. If there is jade flesh, you can see it immediately..."
"Can someone who can spend tens of millions betting on stones not expect this? But compared with Teacher Zhuang, this foreigner is far behind..."
As Zhuang Rui arrived at the stone cutting machine, there were many people watching the stone cutting, and they all commented on Steve's stone cutting skills.
