Chapter 1005 Suet Fat White Jade
…
"Hey, Xiaodong, what's that in your hand?" Yang Shang said in surprise when he saw the gambling stone half held in Liu Dong's hand.
“Just bought it!”
Liu Dong spread his palms flat and took out the rough Hetian seed material he had just obtained.
Yang Shang suddenly understood and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to like gambling on jade!"
I picked it up and looked at it for a few times before putting it back in Liu Dong's hands!
"What a coincidence, we happened to pick a few pieces too! How about we go over there and untie them together?"
As he said that, Qiu Yuan raised the basket in his hand. There were about three pieces of Hetian jade rough stone in the basket, but they were not seeds, but two pieces of mountain water and one piece of mountain material that was not too big.
Liu Dong, who originally had no intention of dissecting stones here, found it difficult to refuse after hearing this, so the three of them rented a stone dissecting machine nearby that was not crowded!
In fact, the jade raw materials purchased by the three of them were not large, and the rough seed material Liu Dong had only needed an angle grinder.
Therefore, Liu Dong, who is the most convenient, is naturally ranked first to solve the problem!
"Xiaodong, if you don't worry, let me untie this rough stone for you. I'm old at this!" Qiu Yuan said with a smile.
"How can you be so embarrassed!" Liu Dong was polite.
"Haha, Xiaodong, Lao Qiu's jade-cutting skills were top-notch in Hotan back then. If you hand the stone to him, he will definitely be able to pull out the jade in its entirety!" Yang Shangdao.
Hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't hold on any longer, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Qiu!"
"Hey, what's the trouble? It's just a casual thing!"
After saying that, Qiu Yuan took the rough seed stone from Liu Dong's hand, fixed the rough stone in less than a minute, and picked up the angle grinder with his right hand!
"Chichi...!"
Accompanied by the harsh friction sound, Liu Dong was really relieved about Qiu Yuan's jade-breaking skills! In addition to his almost 100% concentration, the angle grinder in Qiu Yuan's right hand was unusually stable, with almost no trace
trembling, and this is precisely the most important and most important skill that Jieshi masters need to master!
But less than five minutes later, the angle grinder in Qiu Yuan's hand was taken away almost instantly as if he was suddenly shocked by electricity. The rapid speed startled Yang Shang next to him.
"Old Qiu, what's wrong with you? You're so shocked!"
However, Qiu Yuan obviously didn't have time to answer the old friend's question at this moment. Instead, he looked cautious, and even put down the angle grinder with excitement and expectation in his eyes, and then brought the rough stone he had just cut to his mouth.
, carefully blew the ash on it, and when he wiped it with his hand again, a warm, crystal white and extremely warm bright color was revealed in the 'window' about the size of a peanut on the original stone!
"Muet-fat white jade!"
Seeing Qiu Yuan's excited look, Liu Dong smiled and said nothing. He had long known that there was a gem hidden in this piece of wool that was slightly larger than an adult's fist!
It is also the only buried pearl in the entire jade and wool market here!
If he hadn't happened to meet Qiu Yuan and Yang Shang, Liu Dong would not have unlocked this jade here! Isn't wealth revealed in vain?
"Sure enough, it's mutton-fat jade!!" Yang Shang has also been working in the nephrite industry for half his life. He can identify the quality of jade at a glance, so like Qiu Yuan, he quickly learned from the woolen material.
It was determined that this was a piece of mutton-fat white jade, the top-grade and most rare piece of Hetian jade!
"Xiaodong, you're so lucky. The first time you came to Hotan to gamble on jade, you caught a priceless piece of Hotan mutton-fat jade! You really made a lot of money this time!" Yang Shang said with envy.
The favorite among those who play jade is top-grade Hetian mutton-fat jade, and Yang Shang is certainly no exception.
"Yes, although I still don't know how much jade is inside, I can judge based on the current window. The price of the jade inside is definitely not less than 10 million! Ten million is almost more than half of my life savings.
Oh, this kind of luck is really enviable!" Qiu Yuan said towards Liu Dong with the same envy.
"It's just luck!" Liu Dong said modestly.
At this time, when faced with the envy and jealousy of others, the best way is to get an advantage and not be a good boy!
However, the conversation between the three of them obviously attracted the attention of some people who were gambling and cutting stones nearby. In less than five minutes, Liu Dong and the other three were already surrounded by crowds of spectators! And there were also
More people are ready to gather around and get a glimpse of the top-grade Hetian jade!
Of course, there were also many people who wanted to buy Liu Dong's gambling material that he had just opened the window. In order to avoid trouble, and more and more people gathered together, the safety of the jade could not be guaranteed, so Liu Dong and Yang Shang and the others
Pushed through the crowd and left!
After exiting Jade Street and there were fewer people around him, Yang Shang let out a heavy breath, "Oh my god, you almost squeezed me to death when you came out just now!"
"Who says it isn't? The key is that the appeal of top-grade mutton-fat white jade is too great!" After finishing speaking, Qiu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly handed the raw stone of seed material still in his hand to Liu.
Dong, "Xiaodong, now I'm returning it to you. Fortunately, I didn't lose it just now, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford the compensation! It's just that it wasn't completely untied just now, which is a pity!"
In fact, both Qiu Yuan and Yang Shang hoped to take out the mutton-fat jade completely and see the whole thing.
"It's not easy to decipher the stone. I believe this is not the only place in Hotan as big as this that can decipher the stone!" Liu Dong said.
"makes sense!"
Qiu Yuan nodded, and a flash of light suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he said quickly and joyfully: "Old Yang, isn't there a stone-breaking machine in the hotel where we are staying? Why don't we go there to solve it?"
"Then you have to see whether Xiao Dongtong agrees or not!" Yang Shang said with a smile.
Qiu Yuan reacted and immediately turned his gaze to Liu Dong. The trace of expectation in his eyes made Liu Dong unable to refuse. He understood very well that a person who loves jade would not be able to play with it when he saw a piece of peerless jade.
That feeling of being scratched at the heart. In addition, he had a good impression of Qiu Yuan, so he didn't refuse, "Of course there's nothing wrong with me!"
"Great, let's go quickly!" With that said, Qiu Yuan walked ahead.
"Xiaodong, this old friend of mine is obsessed with jade, don't mind!" Yang Shang from behind explained with a smile.
"It's okay, I think Uncle Qiu's character is quite honest and sincere!"
Liu Dong really likes this kind of straightforward character, because such people are not full of gossip. They are worthy of deep friendship!
"By the way, Xiaodong! I didn't ask you just now, why did you come to Hotan?" Yang Shang asked as he walked.
"Isn't this also for jade? I didn't have any money in my hand before, so I couldn't come here even if I wanted to, but now I have some money. I just wanted to come over and see if I can buy some good jade back!"
Yang Shang, who knew Liu Dong well, nodded and said: "Then do you have a way here? The jade market in Hotan is not as simple as it seems on the surface! Only money can't buy good jade here.
Yes!" After looking at the jade in Liu Dong's hand that was not completely untied, he continued, "However, with this piece of mutton-fat jade in your hand, your trip to Hotan will not be in vain!"
"I'm lucky! But I'm really blind here in Hotan. I have no way to get some good jade, so I have to ask Uncle Yang for help!"
“It’s okay to help!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Shang thought for a while and then said again: "How long do you plan to stay in Hotan this time?"
"One week! Of course, if the matter cannot be dealt with, it doesn't matter if it is extended a little longer!" Liu Dong said.
"A week? That's almost enough!"
Seeing the thought and hesitation on Yang Shang's face, Liu Dong didn't know what was going on and didn't ask.
After a while, Yang Shang said: "That's it. Xiaodong! You also know that I was a jade collector before. This time I contacted a few old guys from before and planned to go into the mountains to find some jade. If you are willing
, you might as well come with us then! However, the conditions in the mountains are poor, and there are also some dangers, so you have to make your own decision on what to do!"
"Uncle Yang, I will definitely go!" Liu Dong said immediately.
Liu Dong, who had just climbed the Tianshan Mountains for more than a month and lived a savage life for more than a month, no longer had the slightest fear of entering the mountains, let alone the so-called dangers.
"If you think about it more, don't agree in a hurry. Going into the mountains is not just for fun. It is inaccessible and you will lose your life if you are not careful!"
"I've thought it through, Uncle Yang, don't worry!" Liu Dong said immediately.
"Okay, since you insist, I won't say anything, but you have to prepare your things for going into the mountains first...!" Yang Shang then taught Liu Dong a lot of experience in surviving in the wild, and even took the car back.
When we were at the hotel, even Qiu Yuan joined in.
Time always flies very fast while chatting, and Hotan is not that big. In less than half an hour, the only three-star hotel in Hotan has arrived, and Liu Dong happened to stay here after coming to Hotan.
Naturally, there were no big twists and turns in the next step of unraveling the stone. When a piece of top-quality Hotan mutton-fat jade, the size of a child's fist and weighing nearly 1.5 kilograms, was taken out of the material, Yang Shang and Qiu Yuan were not only shocked, but also attracted.
There are only a few onlookers around.
According to the current situation of genuine Hotan mutton-fat jade, rather than fakes such as so-called special-grade white jade, the price of one gram is as high as 30,000 Chinese coins, and 1.5 kilograms is 1,500 grams. Not counting the fact that the bigger the mutton-fat jade is, the more expensive it is.
The price of 1.5 kilograms of top-quality Hetian mutton-fat jade is as high as 45 million!
Such a huge sum of money instantly made Liu Dong the envy of everyone around him!
45 million Chinese coins!
I am afraid that many people will not be able to earn such a huge amount of property in their lifetime, but Liu Dong has earned such a huge amount of money just by gambling on a piece of jade. How can people not feel jealous!
Even Yang Shang and Qiu Yuan, who had been prepared before, were a little out of their minds!
But even though they were envious, they were also happy for Liu Dong, especially Yang Shang. But not everyone was like them.
There is always a saying that ‘there is no airtight wall in the world’! (To be continued.)
