Huang Hao coughed lightly, looked at Li Yang, and said helplessly: "You don't need to be so anxious about practicing. Jade carving is about slow work and careful work. There is no luck at all, so it's better to be careful!"
Huang Hao's words made many people behind him agree and nod.
There is really no luck in jade carving. It is all about real skills. Whether the craftsmanship is good or not can be seen at a glance. It is not like gambling on stones. Even people who know nothing about it can still bet on gains if they are lucky.
Moreover, for jade carvers, it is a very shameful act to waste raw materials, especially better raw materials, and there should be no waste. It is honorable to save materials and do more work than others.
Huang Hao has been able to win the Twin Cities Masters in recent years, which gives him an advantage in saving materials.
With the same piece of raw material, he can make more things than others, which also increases the value of the jade raw material. This is also Hong Lao's biggest feature. Suzhou jade carving itself has a tradition of saving materials.
"Xiao Li, these are all words of experience, and Mr. Chen will tell you in the future!"
Mr. Hong said again that he didn't feel bad about Li Yang buying more than two million yuan of wool just to extract jade and practice his skills. However, Li Yang was not his disciple, so he couldn't blame him.
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately and said: "Thank you, Mr. Hong and senior brother, for reminding me, I'll note it down!"
It is not difficult for Li Yang to obtain high-end raw materials. Glass species are rare, but hibiscus species and ice species can appear in basically every major market. As long as Li Yang is willing, he can obtain these raw materials by running a few trips, so
Don't pay much attention to it.
He also failed to understand the importance other carvers placed on good raw materials. He only discovered this mistake after being reminded by Mr. Hong and Huang Hao.
Cheng Zili, Hua Tian, and Hua Zheng all had their eyes widened at this moment.
Li Yang's statement that he only bought these wool materials for practicing skills also scared them. It is true that several of them are wool merchants, but this is a jade carving base, and jade carvers waste raw materials, which is not allowed here.
Many junior apprentices practice with worthless scraps.
"Mr. Hong, Mr. Huang, do you still want to see the woolen materials here?"
The staff of the Jade Association on the side came over carefully and asked, Huang Hao has his own company, so Du Zhigui called him Boss Huang. Ordinary staff like them did not dare to call him that directly.
Mr. Hong waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I won't read it anymore!"
At this moment, he really lost interest in looking at the raw material, and so did Huang Hao. The two stone gambling experts behind him felt a little regretful, but they nodded obediently.
In their minds, the two of them were still thinking about going in to pick out some wool to compare with Li Yang, but they didn't dare to say these things out loud. If they did, they might be considered as overestimating their abilities.
After all, Li Yang's reputation is much better than theirs.
"Mr. Hong, senior brother, I'm going back too. If you don't want to watch, we'll go back together!"
Li Yang added that there was only a piece of ice material left in it, and it was still a piece of wool that was destined to collapse. Mr. Hong wanted to leave, and Li Yang had no objection.
Mr. Hong nodded and said to the two Jade Association staff: "Xiao Li and I, you can go back too, you don't have to accompany us anymore!"
Several people walked out together. Hua Tian and Hua Zheng said goodbye to Cheng Zili and quickly followed them.
Cheng Zili was alone in the back and was suffering. When word spread about this incident, his colleagues would probably laugh at him. What a great opportunity, Jade Saint Li Yang, could really get on this line, and his business would increase again.
It is possible to turn it over.
Everyone knows that Li Yang is not only a high-level stone gambler, but also a powerful mine gambler. Li Yang has a share in Myanmar's largest jadeite mine.
Catching up with Li Yang is equivalent to hooking up with General Thornton. It will be more convenient to purchase goods in the future. With the supply of goods, the business will expand, which is just a trivial matter.
It's a pity that all this is no longer possible. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he doesn't dare to make friends with Li Yang now. After all, what he just did can be said to be very unreasonable. Someone just bought his wool, and he didn't stand up to testify.
, which is tantamount to acquiescing to the frame-up by Du Yufan and his son.
"Brother, you are so awesome!"
At the end, Hua Zheng quietly extended his thumb. Hua Tian was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head in embarrassment.
He knew what Hua Zheng meant, and the guest he introduced turned out to be Jade Saint Li Yang. At this moment, the two of them were not so concerned about the benefits. They only thought about Li Yang. It would be good to stay with their idol for a while longer.
After walking out of the factory, Liu Gang waved to the Hua Zheng brothers behind him.
He was still pushing the cart in his hand. He pushed the cart over first. They bought more than two million yuan of wool. Borrowing a cart was not a problem. But the task of returning the cart would only be troublesome.
Brother, Liu Gang is not willing to come back here again.
"Ahem!"
Huang Hao suddenly coughed twice, pointed at the woolen materials on Liu Gang's cart, and asked softly: "Li Yang, since you don't intend to invest in using these woolen materials, it will be the same anytime, so why not untie them today!"
"
After saying that, Huang Hao looked at Li Yang nervously.
Not only Huang Hao, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Yang, Mr. Hong did the same.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the reputation of Li Yang are unparalleled in the world of stone betting. But no one like Li Yang has seen it with his own eyes. Everyone in the country has a tendency to gossip, even Mr. Hong.
Old timers are no exception.
"No problem!" Li Yang smiled softly and nodded immediately.
Li Yang is not stupid, he can see what these people are thinking. Mr. Hong is a senior, and Huang Hao is also his senior brother. Huang Hao took the initiative to bring it up, and it would not be good to refuse.
Just like Huang Hao said, these woolen materials must be solved sooner or later, it doesn't matter which day they are solved.
"Okay, I'll help you later!"
Huang Hao grinned widely and was a little excited. Not only him, but also the people around him who came from Suzhou. Jade Saint Li Yang, it was a blessing to see him solve the stone with your own eyes.
What's more, these wool materials were chosen by Li Yang himself, which is of even greater significance.
When the two brothers Hua Zheng and Hua Tian heard this from behind, they were also stunned for a moment, and then they became excited. Now that they can follow Li Yang, doesn't it mean that they can also see Li Yang cracking stones?
"Boss Hua!"
Li Yang suddenly waved to Hua Tian. Hua Tian was stunned again and immediately ran to Li Yang's side, looking at his idol with admiration.
"Li, Mr. Li!"
"Is there any other place around here that has a litholysis machine?"
Li Yang asked softly. In fact, there was a stone dissolving machine and two machines where they just came out, but now that they came out, Li Yang didn't want to go back.
Li Yang had just bought something, and the owner of the store just watched someone frame him up without saying a word, which violated the most basic morality. Li Yang could understand his difficulty and would not settle accounts with him, but he did not want to have anything to do with such a person.
.
This boss Cheng is not as good as Hua Zheng. Hua Zheng is a man of few words, but at least he said a few words to him just now, but no one paid him any attention.
Hua Tian's eyes widened, and he immediately nodded and shouted: "Yes, yes, there is one right next to here, very close!"
He was a smart man and understood that Li Yang was unwilling to go back, so he immediately pointed to the other side. This is the largest jade carving industry base in Jieyang, and almost every household has a stone-breaking machine.
It is not difficult for him to borrow a stone-breaking machine.
If Li Yang's name was used, these people would know that Jade Sage was going to use their stone-breaking machine to break the stone, so they would probably rush to send the stone-breaking machine. They wouldn't say anything else. Li Yang was here to break the rough material.
It's like giving them an advertisement.
Hua Tian walked in front, and Li Yang and Mr. Hong followed. Within a few minutes, they arrived at a smaller factory.
This is a small jade factory. There is only one stone-breaking machine, but this stone-breaking machine is empty. The boss is very familiar with Hua Tian. After hearing what Hua Tian said, he looked at Li Yang in disbelief. After a while,
Only then did he react.
Naturally, there was no problem in borrowing their stone-breaking machine.
The boss even went to make tea himself and brewed the best tea to entertain Li Yang and the others. Mr. Hong, Li Yang, and Huang Hao, one of the most famous masters in the domestic jade carving world, all came here, which made the boss very happy.
I was excited, just short of howling with excitement.
Mr. Hong and Huang Hao didn't care about the boss's excitement. What they were most concerned about was the pieces of wool in Li Yang's hands.
The stone dissolving machine was powered on, and people were immediately standing around.
Except for Mr. Hong and his men, the rest were workers in this factory. When they heard that Jade Sage was here to remove stones, no one had any intention of working. The boss was so happy that he simply let them all go.
Not to mention them, even the boss himself has no intention of working now.
The factory is not big, and there are not many workers. There are only about twenty people, and these people also surrounded the stone dissolving machine.
There were eight pieces of wool in the car, which was not a small amount. Li Yang hesitated and directly picked out a piece of wool.
This piece of wool is an ordinary gray leather shell. When I bought it, the unit price was 120,000 yuan. The price was relatively cheaper than the other pieces. Li Yang chose this piece first because the jadeite inside was the easiest to decipher.
This piece of wool only weighs 6.3 kilograms, but most of it is jade. The jadeite weighs as much as four or five kilograms, which makes it easier to untie.
The jadeite in this piece of wool is of the hibiscus variety, with good color and abundant water content. The jadeite is worth several million. With just this piece of wool, Li Yang can recover all his capital and still have some leftover.
"Boo!"
Li Yang didn't draw a line, fixed the wool and pressed the cutter directly. Mr. Hong nodded silently.
Mr. Hong himself is not very good at stone gambling, but his stone interpretation level is quite good and his eyesight is also very good. Li Yang's knife may seem reckless, but it is actually very delicate. It cuts at the edge and the skin is not thick.
If so, this knife can just cut off a piece of skin.
After the sound of the stone dissolving machine rang, the voices of the people around him became much softer, and everyone became more excited.
The wool was not too big, and this knife was for the edge, so it was cut quickly.
Huang Hao and Liu Gang were helping Li Yang. Huang Hao was holding a basin. As soon as the wool was separated, he poured a basin of water on it. The result of this knife was immediately displayed in front of everyone.
"Green, there is green!"
Hua Zheng suddenly yelled. There was no need for him to remind everyone that they all knew the result now. This knife cut out a palm-sized piece of jade, which was still a very good blue and aqua green. The price of the jade was still a big increase.
The people around became more excited, and the price rose with the first cut. This was a good sign. The hibiscus was planted in blue and aquatic green. The value of this piece of wool has completely increased. If it doesn't cost 600,000 yuan, there is no way to get it.
"Okay, very good!"
Mr. Hong smiled and nodded. The hibiscus was planted in blue and water green. This performance is very good and the momentum is also very good.
Many people who gamble on stones are superstitious and pay attention to good omens. The result of Li Yang's first cut was so good, which greatly inspired people. The two experts on stone gambling looked at each other and looked at their heads silently.
.
The Jade Sage is indeed worthy of his reputation. With just this sword, he is much stronger than them.
With one knife, a piece of wool worth 120,000 yuan turned into 600,000 yuan, which directly increased the value five times. Just now, Huang Hao dared to pay five times the price to receive other people's wool materials. He still had some confidence.
Usually, they are satisfied as long as the first cut can cut the hair.
Li Yang turned around and smiled, fixed the wool again, and continued cutting. The people around him were watching intently, for fear of missing something.
This piece of wool is covered with emeralds. All you need to do is cut off the casing. It is relatively simple to untie. After ten minutes, all the outlines of the emeralds were revealed. Looking at the beautiful emeralds, many people smiled.
.
"I think it weighs ten kilograms. It's so beautiful. It costs three million, right?"
When Li Yang was finally wiping off the skin residue, the owner of the small factory said with a sigh, and the workers behind him all nodded. These are people who have been exposed to jade since childhood. Gambling on stones may not work, but the price of jade raw materials is still
Will estimate.
Three million is a very realistic estimate, but the current market for mid- to high-end jadeite is all priceless, so it may be sold for even higher.
"It's a huge increase. The first piece of wool has increased by more than ten times. The cost of this first piece of wool has been recovered!"
Following Mr. Hong, a Suzhou jade carving master also said something. After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and Huang Hao looked back at him.
He was right. Li Yang spent 2.1 million yuan on these woolen materials. As long as Li Yang is willing, he can definitely sell this piece of raw material for 3 million yuan. With just one piece of woolen material, he has recovered all the cost, which is equivalent to
The remaining seven dollars are earned.
When the stone was being removed, everyone didn't feel much at all, but now they all felt Li Yang's terror.
This is the strength of Jade Saint.
After untying the first piece, Li Yang put the jade aside, then directly picked up the top piece of wool and placed it under the stone unraveling machine.
Mr. Chen doesn't have a stone-breaking machine at home. Instead of taking it back and looking for a stone-breaking machine, it is better to untie it all here and save trouble. It is easier to carry plain materials than these woolen materials.
This is a large piece of wool weighing about 20 kilograms. There is a piece of ice-type jade in it. The color is not very good. The value of the jade is about four million.
The purchase price of this piece of wool is only 300,000 yuan. In terms of the increase in price, this piece of wool is not as good as the one just now, but it is still more than ten times higher.
After more than half an hour, Li Yang had untied all the jadeite. His speed was already extremely fast. If it had been anyone else, he might not have been able to untie them all in an hour.
Bing Ru planted jadeite and placed it on the table of the stone machine.
Everyone was looking at the two pieces of jadeite and the two pieces of wool on the table. Two large pieces of jadeite were solved. They all rose sharply. The value of the jadeite solved was as high as seven million, which was three times the amount Li Yang invested.
Want more.
Especially Huang Hao, although he knew and guessed that the wool materials purchased by Li Yang would rise, he did not expect that the price would rise so sharply and so much.
Two yuan, that's only two yuan. The value of these two pieces of wool is only more than 400,000 yuan, and there are still six yuan of wool left to solve. His previous estimate of an increase of five times is probably an underestimation.
The two stone gambling experts looked at each other and lowered their heads a little.
They have also experienced a triple increase in value, more than once, but Li Yang not only tripled the value, but also had two pieces of wool increase in value more than ten times in a row, which is more difficult than a single piece of wool increase in value.
The third piece of wool is slightly smaller, weighing twelve kilograms.
Inside is a piece of ice-grown jadeite. The color is very good, but unfortunately it is not big. The whole piece is only worth about three million. This piece of raw material was bought for 250,000, and the bet also increased by more than ten times.
This piece of wool took Li Yang a little longer to solve, and he finished it after forty minutes. The shape of the jadeite inside was not very straight, which was a waste of time.
The value of the jadeite extracted from three pieces of wool reached 10 million. The overall increase exceeded five times, which surprised everyone. These three consecutive large increases made everyone look forward to the next woolen material.
The two stone betting experts from Suzhou no longer wanted to compare with Li Yang.
Three consecutive surges, not to mention the value of jade, they have never had this kind of continuity.
After resting for a short while, Li Yang began to unravel the stone again.
This time he solved it faster. Li Yang finished solving the three pieces of wool in a little more than an hour. Two pieces of ice and a piece of hibiscus jade were placed on the desk again.
These three pieces of jadeite are more valuable than the three pieces that were unlocked earlier. Together they are worth fifteen million, and one of them is worth eight million.
The six pieces of wool have all increased significantly, and the value of the jadeite extracted has reached 25 million.
"I really didn't expect that this batch of woolen materials from Lao Cheng was so good. If I had known, I would have bought them all for him. He would have bought them even if he was trying to sell them!"
The owner of the factory slapped his thigh fiercely and screamed in annoyance. The people around him looked at him strangely. He himself noticed the gaffe and hurriedly lowered his head.
Among the workers behind him, a few were laughing secretly, while the rest were suppressing their laughter.
They understand the boss's thoughts, and they all know that Li Yang's wool was bought from Cheng Zili. The total wool in that warehouse only cost more than 30 million yuan, and these six pieces alone are worth 25 million.
Yes, you can definitely make money by buying it.
With so much wool left, the jadeite extracted must be over five million.
But this was just what the boss said. He would never dare to do such a thing. He would have to cash out all his property worth tens of millions, and would have to borrow money to be able to do so. This was tantamount to risking his fortune.
There is no absolute guarantee of life, so who dares to do this?
Li Yang also smiled. The boss's thoughts were human nature and were only hindsight. It's okay to talk about this kind of thing, but it's very risky to do it. Not many people dare to actually do it.
A warehouse of wool can be compared to a piece of wool, which may rise several times, but there is also the possibility of betting on a cross, and if it crosses, you will still have to lose a lot.
It was already eleven o'clock in the morning. Li Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and picked up the second to last piece of wool.
This is a piece of ice jade wool. The jadeite inside is not big, but the color is very true. Its value is higher than any previous piece of ice jade.
Li Yang set up the cutter, aligned it, and pressed it directly.
Mr. Hong nodded again. Betting on stones depends on luck, but more on strength. From the process of Li Yang unraveling stones, you can see his level.
Li Yang's speed of unraveling stones is much faster than that of other stone gambling experts. The most important point is that Li Yang protected the jadeite well when he untied stones and did not cause any waste.
Achieving this is more difficult than judging whether you can bet on an increase. The raw materials are protected and not wasted, which also increases the value of jade to a certain extent, allowing jade carving masters to have more raw materials.
Mr. Hong has only seen two people who can do this, one is Li Yang and the other is the Jade King. It was not all luck that Li Yang was able to win the Jade King in the bet.
This cut was completed quickly. After Huang Hao washed the cut surface, he was stunned again.
He didn't know how many times he had been in a daze today. After cutting each piece of wool, he would be stunned for a moment. Every cut by Li Yang seemed to have never let them down.
But this time, his eyes were wider and wider.
"Emperor Green, is this Imperial Green?"
Someone in the crowd shouted, the jadeite pieces just now were of different colors, but none of them were full of green. The section exposed in front of them directly revealed the jadeite, and the full green color made everyone excited.
This is block ice jade, or high-ice jade. The color is more like imperial green. High-ice jade is imperial green. This is a high-grade jade that can be compared with ordinary glass jade.
"This is not imperial green, this is emerald!"
Mr. Hong suddenly shook his head. His words made everyone around him stunned for a moment. Then everyone looked at the section carefully. After a while, some people slowly started to nod.
This green is indeed very pure, but it has not reached the level of imperial green. However, it is also an extremely rare emerald. The price of this piece of wool has risen sharply, and now it is at least five million or more.
This is just a slice, a small slice.
When I set up the cutter again, the people around me stopped talking. They all watched with concentration as the sharp serrations of the cutter passed through the leather shell.
"It's gone up again, every time it goes up!"
The two stone betting experts all had blank faces. One of them murmured, and their eyes showed extreme shock.
The other people around could be said to be watching the excitement and watching the wonderful process of unraveling stones, but the two stone gambling experts were watching the secrets.
From the first cut until now, they have not calculated how many cuts Li Yang has made, and they cannot calculate clearly. However, every cut Li Yang has made has never failed, and every cut has increased.
A sharp rise, this is a real sharp rise.
This is Li Yang, this is the strength of Jade Saint. The two of them looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
This level is really terrifying. It is amazing that an ordinary stone betting expert can have a betting increase rate of 30% to 40%. Li Yang's sharp increase is equivalent to a 100% betting increase rate. Thinking of this, the two of them are heartbroken.
It just jumped like a puff.
Their original competitive spirit has all disappeared, and there is no longer any thought of competing. The gap is too big, just like primary school students and college students, there is no comparison at all.
…………
Two-in-one, two chapters will be updated first. The competition for the top rankings is very fierce. Brothers and sisters, please give me a little more effort and cheer for Xiaoyu, okay?
