After everyone dispersed, only Qin Feng and others and a somewhat lost Li Yonghu were left in the venue. Looking at the rough stones scattered on the ground, his face was extremely gray.
Originally, I was thinking of selling the rough stones to get some cash to build a house for my son and get a wife.
But Li Yonghu never expected that such a scene would happen. I am afraid that no one would be willing to buy his rough stones at this trade fair held in the village.
"Second brother, it's nothing. Maybe Qin Feng happened by chance. The performance he got was not good."
Li Yongqian comforted his brother from the side, but what he said was dry. Even he himself didn't believe it. The eight rough stones did not show the characteristics of jade, which only meant that Li Yonghu's batch of goods has a problem.
"Agan, it's unlucky for your second brother. Alas, I bought it because I thought it was from an old pit..."
Li Yonghu sighed and slowly turned around and returned to the shed of his stall. He planned to fill it up for one day and then not sell it. As for the money to build a house for his son, it shouldn't be a big problem if he found some relatives and friends to pool it together. .
"Qin Feng, you are so lucky."
After Li Yonghu left, Huang Bingyu looked at Qin Feng with a weird look on his face and said, "You can cut out a shitty piece of material from eight rough stones, right? You're good, you haven't even cut out any jadeite..."
In the stone gambling field, it is rare to find the best jadeite such as glass, but it is also rare to be as unlucky as Qin Feng.
You know, the low-end jade jewelry that costs just a few dollars a piece that floods the market now appears from the solution of stones like Qin Feng.
Therefore, it is not uncommon to find jadeite from stone bets, but it is quite rare to see even a trace of jadeite when cut into eight pieces.
"Brother Huang, it's just for fun." Qin Feng smiled when he heard this and said, "If we want to bet, let's bet on a piece of top-quality material. I don't like ordinary ones."
"What you said is easy. There are so many top-quality jade materials."
Huang Bingyu shook his head disapprovingly. Let alone a rough stone transaction of this scale, even on the Myanmar Jade Public Market, it is not possible to find a piece of glass full of green material on site in a year.
"This is called getting bad luck first and getting rich later. Brother Huang, I have always been bitter first and then sweet."
Qin Feng was not affected by the gambling failure at all, because only he knew that what he had just done was intentional, and Qin Feng was bound to get Li Yonghu's python-patterned rough stone.
According to Qin Feng's judgment, the rough stone weighing more than 30 kilograms was extremely colorful, and the grade of jadeite inside must not be too low. However, Qin Feng could not make a judgment on it since it had not been cut out.
"Brother Huang, let's go and comfort Boss Li."
Qin Feng washed his hands at the faucet next to the stone cutter, stood up, and was about to go to Li Yonghu's stall when a middle-aged man suddenly blocked his way.
"Boss Qin, right? My name is Xie Jinbao..."
After the visitor introduced himself, he pointed to a shed not far away and said, "There is a stall set up over there. Do you want to go and have a look?"
The visitor was about forty-five or six years old. He seemed to have gained weight in middle age and was slightly chubby. He had a round face and a smile, which was in line with the saying in the business world that being kind makes you rich.
"It turns out to be Boss Xie." Qin Feng said politely but looked at Li Yongqian. He didn't know who this person was, and he was expecting Li Yongqian to answer a question.
Seeing Qin Feng's eyes, Li Yongqian looked at him and said, "Brother Xie is also from our village. He specializes in stone betting. His business is much bigger than Brother Huzi..."
There are several surnames in Yangmei Village. Li and Dou are the common surnames, and there are also Xie, Ren, and Zhou. Most people with the general surname Li are engaged in jade processing, while the other surnames are in the rough stone business. More.
"Okay then let's go take a look."
Qin Feng nodded noncommittally. Anyway, the reputation of Li Yonghu's stall had just been ruined, so no one would compete with Qin Feng for the python-patterned rough stone.
"Boss Qin, these are all my goods..."
After taking Qin Feng under his shed, Xie Jinbao said: "You can take a look at it. If you like something, I will definitely give you the biggest discount..."
"Thank you, boss, for doing great business."
Qin Feng glanced around and said: "The rough stone you put here is probably worth a thousand or eight million. It is probably the first one in Yangmei, right?"
Xie Jinbao's jadeite rough business is indeed very large. His family alone occupies an entire row of sheds, and the area is five or six times larger than Li Yonghu's.
What's more important is that not all the rough stones in Xie Jinbao's stall are full jade stones. Contrary to Li Yonghu's stall, most of the jade stones he sells here are semi-cut jade stones.
The so-called semi-finished material means that windows are opened or cut on the full-cut material. However, this kind of semi-finished rough stone only undergoes preliminary stone analysis and stops when it sees the jade inside.
No one knows how the following performance will be, whether it’s one green to the end, or just a taste of it. Although the gambling is smaller than the full gambling material, there are still great risks. It’s a small business.”!
Xie Jinbao's eyes narrowed when he smiled, and he said: "Boss Qin, I have a piece of good material here that is half a bet. Do you want to take a look? This is a rough stone that I have collected for many years..."
"Half gambling material?"
Qin Feng frowned when he heard this. He didn't want to offend the other party's kindness, so he immediately said: "Boss Xie, take it out and have a look. I, Brother Huang, only accept rough stones that are not gambling."
Huang Bingyu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, are you trying to seduce me? If I take a fancy to you, nothing will happen to you..."
While the two were joking with each other, Xie Jinbao had already picked up a rough stone and placed it on the table.
This piece of material is semicircular in shape, as big as a small millstone, and should weigh seventy or eighty kilograms. Xie Jinbao was so tired that he was out of breath just by putting it on the table.
"Boss Qin, Boss Huang, please take a look..."
Xie Jinbao took a deep breath, pointed at the rough stone and said: "Look, after a cut at this place, the jade flesh has been completely exposed, and the color is dark green..."
While talking, Xie Jinbao turned on a strong flashlight, stuck it to the window, and said: "Come over and see, this kind of water is so transparent. If it seeps in according to this behavior, what will happen inside?" I’m afraid I can get imperial green jadeite!”
From the edge of the flashlight, a glistening green light comes out. The light transmittance is just as Xie Jinbao said, it is indeed very good. Whether it is the planting water or the color, it is the best choice material.
"Boss Xie, did you get this material from Mo Gang?"
Qin Feng pointed at the gray-white stone skin mixed with yellow, and said: "Mogang jade is considered to be the best in Myanmar's old pits. I didn't expect that Boss Xie could get one. He must have paid a big price, right?"
The Mogang Laokeng mentioned by Qin Feng is a very famous jade mine among the top ten jade producing areas in Myanmar.
The stone skin of Mogang jade is relatively rough, and the extracted jade has better water and bottom, less cracks, green or full green jade with green color, and few impurities. Jade with glass bottom is more common.
The imperial green that is often mentioned in the jade industry originally came from the old pit of Mogang.
However, the output of Mogang jade is very small, and all the mines have been mined and sealed in the past few years. Qin Feng did not expect to see such a fine rough stone in such an inconspicuous place.
"Boss Qin has really good eyesight. You are right. This is a rough stone from Mogang Laokeng."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Jinbao gave a thumbs up and said: "I collected this piece of material ten years ago. I spent more than one million at that time. If I take it out now, don't think about it if it doesn't cost five million."
buy
"Five million? Is it so expensive?" Zhu Kai stuck out his tongue. It was hard for him to imagine that such a gray stone could be sold for ten million?
"Little brother, five million is still expensive?"
Xie Jinbao looked at Zhu Kai with a smile and said: "This piece of material is very valuable for gambling. If it were not to raise funds for a public sale in Myanmar in early April, I would not sell it even for 8 million."
"Thank you, boss. Don't be surprised if he doesn't know how to do it."
Qin Feng took the words with a smile and said: "Kaizi, this material is likely to produce glass-type sun-green jadeite, and at last it is also a high-ice type material...
Based on its size, if there is a lot of jade and flesh inside, at least forty or fifty pairs of bracelets can be taken out. In addition, some pendants can also be made from the hollowed out area. After the finished product is made, there are eight million items.
It can come out..."
As long as a jadeite that weighs one-tenth of the weight of a rough stone weighing seventy or eighty kilograms can be found, it will be regarded as an increase in the bet, and according to Qin Feng's eyesight, the possibility of an increase in the bet is still very high.
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Xie Jinbao's narrowed eyes flashed with an undetectable light, and he smiled and said: "How about it, Boss Qin, are you interested?"
"I'll take a look first before talking." Qin Feng took the magnifying glass and flashlight from the table and looked at the rough stone carefully.
Qin Feng felt a little uneasy, because according to the performance of this rough stone, there should be a lot of people rushing to bet on it. Why did this man named Xie come to him?
"Boss Qin, take a look at it. As for the price, we can still discuss it later." Seeing Qin Feng inspecting the rough stone, a trace of panic flashed in Xie Jinbao's eyes, but he quickly covered it up well.
"Old Dou, how are your arrangements? Will the boy named Qin bite the bait we set?"
In a shed more than ten meters away from Xie Jinbao's stall, Dou Jianjun and Zhao Fengjian were drinking tea leisurely, but their eyes would glance over Qin Feng and others from time to time.
"How old is he? He's driven by enough interests. I'm afraid that kid won't take the bait."
Dou Jianjun drank the kung fu tea in front of him in one gulp and said with a smile: "Lao Xie has been working in this industry for more than ten years and is proficient in all disciplines. As long as that man named Qin has a greedy thought, he will not be able to escape the palm of Lao Xie!
