Turning off the grinding wheel, Chen Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead. Speaking of stone removal, it was really a strenuous job. Not only did it require enough physical strength, it also required a very detailed eye. For such top-quality stone, just a little deviation would be enough.
Millions and tens of millions are gone, and if the overall effect of the stone is destroyed, the loss will not be as simple as tens of millions, but at least 300 million, or even 400 to 500 million will be lost.
It's not impossible.
Therefore, during the two or three hours of stone removal process, Chen Ran was careful and careful, for fear of damaging the overall effect of the jade flesh inside the stone, so that the work would be defeated, so the corresponding physical strength spent during this period
The energy and energy are also immeasurable. Fortunately, it was Chen Ran. If it had been anyone else, let alone how exhausted he was, just saying that in the process of unraveling the stone, the kind of psychological torture would probably make people collapse.
While Chen Ran was unraveling the stone, no matter whether the bystanders around him screamed in surprise or shook their heads in regret, he looked calm and collected from the beginning to the end. It was a pity that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was, but Chen Ran
The owner was very calm, but the onlookers around him were not so calm. Everyone's attention was focused on the stone. Who would care about Chen Ran's performance, so no one noticed this until
It was only at the last moment that I paid attention to Chen Ran's expression, but it was a different matter at that time.
Even though the giant stone was completely untied, Chen Ran's performance was still very calm. Although he acted calmly, Chen Ran's image at this moment was really not that good.
After cutting off the edges and several corners of the entire stone, Chen Ran almost rubbed off the remaining stone bit by bit with a stone grinder, so that after the completion, Chen Ran's whole body was covered in bruises.
It was white, as if he had just emerged from a quarry or was a porter carrying flour, and his face was also dirty due to sweat and stone powder.
If the little guy ate something, he ran to Uncle Xiaoran's big bed and went crazy. The child was sleepy and fell asleep like crazy. From this, Cao Huiyao was also there at this time and saw Chen Rang doing it.
After finishing the work, he quickly handed Chen Ran a wet towel and asked Chen Ran to wipe the dirty face first.
It's just that Chen Ran just wiped it randomly twice, and was stunned as if he had seen something incredible.
The whole place was quiet, quiet and even a little eerie.
In fact, when Chen Ran had almost polished the stone, the atmosphere in the whole place became quiet and a bit strange. At that time, except for the sound of the grinding wheel turning, there was no other sound, even for Chen Ran.
When Master Zhao and Zhang Shuchun who were helping Chen Ran helped Chen Ran, they worked silently without saying a word. They silently helped Chen Ran hold the grinding wheel, silently handed Chen Ran the emery cloth, and silently passed a few words to each other.
A look, while others were either looking at the biggest cabbage with eager eyes, or looking at each other a few times, as if they were communicating something, or suppressing something, or else
Just look at Chen Ran's face.
This giant stone has almost been solved. It is obvious that a miracle is impossible. So although Chen Ran still looks calm and composed on the surface, it is obvious that in the eyes of almost everyone, this
It was just Chen Ran who was pretending to be calm. Of course, although in the eyes of almost everyone, Chen Ran was just pretending to be calm, but at this point, Chen Ran had not lost his composure and could still "pretend to be calm", which was enough
It amazed several people present, such as Mr. Wu, and the security guards who were watching.
The reason why this happened was because at this time, almost everyone present knew that the stone that Chen Ran bought back for a sky-high price of more than 310 million yuan was a gamble. Chen Ran failed.
At least 100 million in funds have been wasted. How much is at least depends on whether Chen Ran plans to process and sell these materials himself or transfer the materials directly.
If you process and sell it yourself, you will only lose a little more than 100 million, but one disadvantage is that it is not easy to sell when you sell it. Although the jade industry pays attention to channels, but that is only relative to mid-to-high-end jade, and
It's hard to sell top-quality materials like Laokeng glass. Of course, it can definitely be sold, but it won't be sold in a short while.
And if the materials were directly transferred out, the loss would be more than 100 million, maybe even half of it.
Needless to say, a piece of stone that was full of expectations failed to make any money, and it also lost 100 million or even more funds. From this, you can imagine Chen Ran's feeling of disappointment, so although almost everyone present
They were all holding back what they wanted to say, but in order not to irritate Chen Ran, they all held back and remained silent, so that the atmosphere in the whole place became quiet and a bit weird.
But now Chen Ran's dazed look seemed to them like he was lost. This coincided with their guess. Although he was almost solved just now, he still hadn't finished solving it after all, so Chen Ran could still pretend.
He tried to calm down, but now that he had completely solved it, Chen Ran obviously couldn't accept this reality.
Among them, the ones who can best understand Chen Ran's "mood" are none other than Master Zhao and Zhang Shuchun, because they themselves also feel unspeakable disappointment and loss. Among the people present, apart from Chen Ran,
Naturally, the two of them have the greatest expectations for this stone. Due to what they saw and heard following Chen Ran in Tengchong, their ability to gamble on stones has risen to the level of a god.
In their view, since Chen Ran was so determined to spend more than 300 million to transport this stone back, it meant that Chen Ran was extremely optimistic about this stone. Therefore, they did not think about this stone at all.
They would bet on failure, and they just kept thinking about how much the price of this stone could rise, but the result disappointed them. As for Master Zhao and Zhang Shuchun, Master Zhao's disappointment was obviously heavier. First, he was now
He did it with Chen Ran, and he naturally regarded the stone as his own, which meant that he had assumed his own position. What's more, it was in front of outsiders, that is, in Qin Dynasty.
In front of Master and Master Feng, he praised Chen Ran to the sky. Even before, when he saw Master Qin and Master Feng, they were extremely nervous. He also comforted them very confidently and said that he should make them believe in Chen Ran.
Ran's strength, but as a result, now he can only use this stone. It's too valuable. Chen Ran didn't calculate it well. Didn't it cost nearly 200 million yuan to cut out?
The people who could best understand Chen Ran's mood were none other than Master Zhao and Zhang Shuchun. The one who was most shocked was none other than Wang Liang. Wang Liang and Master Zhao were different. Based on the relationship between him and Chen Ran,
In addition, he didn't know anything about stone gambling. He didn't know whether there was a bet or a loss in stone gambling. When he learned that Chen Ran had lost more than 100 million by playing with this stone, he was not disappointed, but suddenly confused.
.
"Xiao Ran..." Seeing Chen Ran's appearance, Cao Huiyao walked up to Chen Ran and comforted Chen Ran softly. She didn't understand much about this, but she heard clearly that Chen Ran not only didn't make any money betting on this stone,
After receiving the money, more than 100 million yuan was lost.
"Xiao Ran, when a horse stumbles, people will always make mistakes. You are young and your luck has always been so good. If you suffer a loss now, it may not be a blessing. In the future, you can bet on the stone or not.
It’s good.”
Although before this, the old man had already thought about how to teach Chen Ran a lesson, but when it came to this point, seeing Chen Ran like this, the old man couldn't say the words on his lips. He sighed, not only did he not
He scolded Chen Ran, but instead comforted Chen Ran.
Chen Ran was originally stunned because he seemed to have seen something incredible. He didn't hear Cao Huiyao's "Xiao Ran", but the old man's words woke him up.
"Mr. Chen, I'm offering you 100 million for this cabbage. How about you give it to me?" After Chen Ran was woken up by the old man, he was startled by the old man's words. He was still stunned for a moment.
When he reacted, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
This sentence was said by no one else, but by Tang Dachao, the Japanese devil. And when he said it, while looking at Chen Ran expectantly, he couldn't help but glance greedily at the big cabbage on the ground.
.
Due to Chen Ran's special instructions before, the jadeite that was extracted was still intact on the ground.
Tang Dachao himself was not in the jade business, nor was he in the woolen business, but he was extremely fascinated by jade, especially jade, so he only proposed to accept the largest cabbage, but did not mention the remaining
Other ingredients, the remaining Chinese cabbage is said to be Chinese cabbage. In fact, when carving, it is not carved into Chinese cabbage, but has to be carved into bracelets, because other Chinese cabbages are a bit small in size, and it is difficult to sell them when carved into Chinese cabbage.
go out.
This Chinese cabbage is said to be worth hundreds of millions, but in fact it is just an approximate price. If it is more specific, it will be a little less. The price of the finished product is only 80 to 90 million, so Tang Da has already exceeded this price by a lot.
The price is high.
"Junior Brother Chen, how about I pay 200 million for all these materials?"
When Tang Dachao opened his mouth, Fan Zhicheng was obviously anxious.
In fact, before Chen Ran had finished unpacking the stones, Fan Zhicheng had already made the calculations. When Chen Ran finished unpacking the stones, he offered Chen Ran a price of 170 million to 200 million to receive all the materials.
As a disciple of Mr. Wu, Fan Zhicheng met as many as eight hundred dignitaries in the capital. The finished product made of this kind of material is difficult for others to sell, but it is easy for him, and even the price is still high.
A bit higher.
With Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu around, Fan Zhicheng originally had no intention of speaking, but thought of talking to Chen Ran in private later so that he could be more relaxed during the conversation. However, Tang Dachao suddenly spoke and he couldn't care less.
Even because the price given by Tang Dachao was a bit too high, he directly raised his expected price to the highest level.
The price of 200 million is also not low. Even if Chen Ran makes these materials into finished products, it will not be much higher than this price. When Chen Ran first inspected this piece of standard stone, he estimated the price at 2
It's more than 100 million points. This price is the price after the finished product is carved. If it's just the materials, it will naturally be a little lower.
In fact, the most valuable of Chen Ran's ingredients was the largest Chinese cabbage, and the rest were the five or six small cabbages. However, these small cabbages were too small, and the smallest one was not as big as a baby's fist. As for
Those green ribbons are worth a lot of money because they are longer, but because they are not too thick and the texture is fine and fine, it is not much different from the Laokeng glass type, but after all, the price is slightly different, so I paid a little more.
Discount.
After placing the bid, Fan Zhicheng looked at Tang Dachao. When he saw Tang Dachao frowning and saying nothing, he felt relieved. After feeling relieved, he looked at Chen Ran. Seeing Chen Ran's frown, he couldn't bear it for a moment.
The resident thought of the scene just now, thinking that I just asked you to transfer the net profit of 10 million to me. It seems that you are not willing to do so. Now you must regret it.
After bidding 200 million, it was almost time for Chen Ran to make a move. Even the old man felt that it was almost the same. This price was already the best price for Chen Ran. But to everyone's surprise, Chen Ran shook his head.
, and even looked at Fan Zhicheng strangely, as if he was very dissatisfied.
"Junior Brother Chen, what's wrong? Are you still not satisfied with the price?"
Seeing Chen Ran's appearance, Fan Zhicheng couldn't help but frowned. If Tang Dachao hadn't intervened, he originally wanted to offer only 170 million, but he didn't expect that Tang Dachao just gave him the big cabbage.
At a price of 100 million, he could only raise the total price of all the materials to 200 million based on Tang Dachao's price. Who knew that Chen Ran would not be satisfied even after mentioning this price.
The appetite is not small.
Chen Ran was indeed dissatisfied. Fan Zhicheng offered 200 million yuan to get these materials from him. It would be strange if he wasn't dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything. At this moment, he was too lazy to talk to Fan Zhicheng and Tang Dachao.
No matter what the price, he's already suffering from narcolepsy, so he'd better clean up this national treasure-level jadeite as soon as possible.
[It’s the Chinese New Year, there are so many things at home, and there is no Internet cable, which is so sad... This chapter is definitely not a procrastination. I originally wanted to finish the plot in one go, but because I want to write it more reasonably, I want to think about it carefully. 】
