At this moment, the four of them have been searching in the high-end area for more than an hour.
Meng Xiaobao also discovered a problem. Although most of the rough stones here are colored, the cost price here is also very high.
So this put Meng Xiaobao in a dilemma.
If the cost is low, you can make money as long as it is excellent, but now the cost has increased a lot, so even if it is of color, you may not be able to make money when you open it, and you may even lose money.
"Brother Xiaobao, do you like every piece?"
Lao Qian was also a little anxious. It had been almost two hours, but Meng Xiaobao didn't do anything together, which made him a little worried.
You must know that Meng Xiaobao's moves in Stone Forest were very slippery before.
Meng Xiaobao put his hand on the original stone.
Soul eyes open!
Unfortunately, the current soul eye level is too low, and the vision is very blurry.
In the past, Mid-Spring Festival was colorful because there were several colors, but there were very few such opportunities.
The chicken blood red color at the back was chosen by Meng Xiaobao because the color was very conspicuous. However, if the color was ordinary and monochromatic, Meng Xiaobao would not be able to judge the value of the rough stone.
After all, the prices of the rough stones above are basically over one million. If you exclude ordinary jadeite, you will probably still lose money.
This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of Meng Xiaobao's stone gambling.
As his soul eyes opened, Meng Xiaobao seemed to have arrived at a hazy rapeseed field.
But it looks so clear...
What kind of jade is this?
Meng Xiaobao was slightly startled. This was the first time he saw this kind of jade.
His understanding of jade has also improved a lot during this time. Among jadeite, green is the best, while yellow can only be ranked third.
But if you don’t want to plant jade, you still have to look at the water level.
The water head of this rough stone seems to be relatively high-grade.
Seeing Meng Xiaobao suddenly stop and continue to observe the rough stone, Qian Guang was immediately delighted: "Brother Xiaobao, is this rough stone different?"
Meng Xiaobao took a look at the price of the rough stone, which was worth 1.6 million.
He was immediately hesitant. He couldn't guarantee whether the value of this jade would reach 1.6 million when it was opened.
Meng Xiaobao then observed carefully: "This jade should be topaz, but the water quality seems to be very good."
"Is it Huang Yu?"
Qian Guang was immediately disappointed. Topaz with higher value was very rare.
"This is probably the best variety I've seen so far."
Meng Xiaobao said that he thought it was worth betting on this piece, and he shouldn't lose money.
If he guessed correctly, this should be the best jadeite among topaz.
"It's only 1.6 million. You'll know after you buy it and open it." Duoduo said directly from the side.
"I said Duoduo, your family is rich, but this 1.6 million is not a small amount for us." Qian Guang rolled his eyes at Duoduo.
"I bought this piece."
Meng Xiaobao put the stone directly on the cart.
"Brother Xiaobao, the value of topaz is generally not high. Unless you find the best jadeite, you won't make much profit. Why don't we take a closer look, since there are so many rough stones here." Lao Qian said cautiously.
"It doesn't matter."
Meng Xiaobao smiled slightly. He only had three million in total. If he bought this rough stone, he should still be able to get the other one.
Betting on stones is gambling, and he feels that his chances of winning should be very high.
Seeing that Meng Xiaobao had made up his mind, Lao Qian didn't say anything else.
Then several people continued to search.
…
"How about Xiaobao, please help me take a look." Wen Xuanxuan suddenly took a fancy to a rough stone and couldn't help asking, because the color of the rough stone looked very good.
Meng Xiaobao walked over and took a closer look.
This is a piece of green jade.
The water head is pretty good and the range is okay.
"This piece is not bad." Meng Xiaobao looked at the rough stone and said immediately: "The water head should be in the middle to upper range, and the range is not small. It should not be a loss."
"Great, let me try this first."
Wen Xuanxuan was straightforward and won it directly.
Then Lao Qian and Duo Duo each picked a piece, but it was Meng Xiaobao who observed it before deciding to buy it.
Because among the four people, Xuanxuan is mainly responsible for the operation. Although she has a lot of experience, she does not have much experience in looking at rocks. Lao Qian is a dabbler and basically learned it from books, but with Lao Qian
For someone of Qian's level, if he can see it, other people who identify him can also see it, so it basically relies on deception.
Kong Duoduo's family was originally in the antique business, so they didn't know much about jade.
"There's still one hour left and the bidding will start. Let's go cut the stone first and see how our luck is today?"
Wen Xuanxuan said.
Several people nodded, and each of the four selected two pieces of jade. Meng Xiaobao also selected the following jade according to the water level.
But he has never encountered a very rare jadeite variety, so Meng Xiaobao really doesn't have much confidence this time.
But overall, Meng Xiaobao thinks there should be no loss.
Come to the cutting place.
Meng Xiaobao and the other two started cutting directly.
"Duoduo, you come first."
Lao Qian said impatiently.
"Why me first?"
"Hey, you are senior, of course you have to be the leader." Lao Qian chuckled.
Kong Duoduo glared at Lao Qian, and then said: "I'll do it, I'll do it, Brother Xiaobao, help me do it."
"OK."
Meng Xiaobao immediately picked up the pen and started sketching.
Kong Duoduo probably didn't have much money in her family, so she didn't worry too much. If she lost, she would lose, and it wouldn't have much impact on her.
With the first piece cut out.
Although it is not the best jadeite, the quality and water quality are very good, which is not much different from what Meng Xiaobao said before.
The cost of purchase was 1.3 million. Wen Xuanxuan gave the expert a price of about 2.5 million. Still, he made more than 1 million, which is considered a great victory.
"Brother Xiaobao, you are so awesome, you actually got it right."
"Come on, keep opening this piece for me."
Kong Duoduo suddenly became interested and handed another piece of rough stone to the cutter.
Meng Xiaobao said that this piece is much better than the previous one, and its value should be higher, but the cost price is about the same.
Zhizhi...
Cut with the cutting master.
A patch of green appeared, and Kong Duoduo was immediately happy, because this time the green looked much better than the last time.
With both sides cut out, Meng Xiaobao also controlled the area very well.
"Yes, this one is of a higher level than the previous one, and its value should be around four million. Duoduo, you made a profit this time."
"I'll come, let me come."
Qian Guang couldn't wait to see Kong Duoduo making money.
Then he started cutting his own two pieces of jadeite of good quality.
The total value of the two pieces is about 7 million, while the cost is about 3 million, and the profit is 4 million.
Wen Xuanxuan also started cutting.
Because the cost of the two rough stones selected by Wen Xuanxuan reached more than 4 million, which was higher than the cost of Meng Xiaobao and the others, and one of them, Meng Xiaobao also said, should be a top-quality jadeite.
After cutting it, it turned out that one piece was worth 4 million, which directly recouped the cost, while the other piece revealed the best sapphire.
Worth seven million.
It can be said that I made a jackpot.
"Thank you, Xiaobao."
Wen Xuanxuan said excitedly that Meng Xiaobao helped her choose the jade at that time.
"Brother Xiaobao, you are so powerful. You even got hit. It's your turn."
