Xue Chen got into Xiong Linlin's Volkswagen Beetle. Compared to Li Jiayi, who is more introverted and quiet, Xiong Linlin is more cheerful and outgoing. After getting in the car, she chattered questions to Xue Chen.
"Don't go drink tea. I don't like it. Let's go drink coffee. I know a newly opened coffee shop. I heard it's good. Let's go try it." Ten minutes later, Xiong Linlin parked the car at a newly opened coffee shop.
in front of the cafe.
The three of them found a seat by the window and sat down, each ordering a cup of coffee.
"Xue Chen, you said you are engaged in antique investment and collection?" Xiong Linlin looked at Xue Chen curiously.
"Not bad." Xue Chen replied.
"Then you must know a lot about Hetian jade, right? What do you think of my Hetian jade bracelet?" Xiong Linlin raised her right hand and showed Hao a white jade bracelet on her wrist.
Xue Chen took a quick look and praised: "Yes, in a broad sense it has reached the level of mutton-fat jade, which is quite good."
"This is my eighteenth birthday gift that my father spent 1.2 million on. Does it mean it's just good in your eyes? I've asked many people who know jade, and they all say it's very good."
Xiong Linlin pouted her lips dissatisfied and said.
"Everyone's judgment criteria are different, but in my eyes, it's really just good, and it's still a little short of great." Xue Chen said with a smile.
Li Jiayi also admired the Hetian jade bracelet of her best friend. It has a delicate feel, white color, and is very pleasing to the eye. In his opinion, it should be the best Hetian jade. In Xue Chen's opinion, it is just good?
"Then tell me what's wrong with my piece of Hetian jade." Xiong Linlin snorted.
Xue Chen smiled and shook his head: "I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that it's not the top Hetian jade. Since you ask, I'll tell you."
"I'm all ears." Xiong Linlin raised the corners of her mouth.
After taking a sip of coffee, Xue Chen spoke: "As we all know, the jade family regards Hetian jade as the most precious, and Hetian jade regards mutton fat jade as the best jade, which is warm, beautiful, delicate and transparent, and the most precious."
Both women nodded in agreement.
"There are five criteria for evaluating a piece of mutton-fat jade. First, the texture must be pure, that is, the tremolite mineral content in the jade must reach at least 99%. The texture of your bracelet should be
It’s very pure. If calculated on a ten-point scale, this is considered nine points.”
Xiong Linlin smiled, looking very happy.
"The other four criteria are that the structure is fine, the water head is sufficient, the color should be close to mutton fat, and the last point is that it is oily. The finer the structure of the jade, the more delicate it feels to the touch. Although I have not tried it, but from the reflected luster
Look, the delicate structure of this jade bracelet can only be regarded as a little better than qualified, which is only a six points. Fortunately, its oiliness is enough to cover up this shortcoming. "
Xiong Linlin touched her bracelet subconsciously, frowned slightly, and did not refute.
"As for the water head and color, the water head is not bad, it is almost translucent, and it does not give people a chaotic feeling. This is not bad, it can be rated as eight points. As for the color, mutton-fat jade is not pure white, but animal
The whiteness of the grease even has a slight hint of yellow, but your bracelet is a bit too white and lacks a bit of the warmth of mutton fat, so it could be rated seven points."
Xue Chen fully commented on the Hetian jade table on Xiong Linlin's wrist. The two women looked at each other a little, thinking that they were too professional to speak in such detail.
Xiong Linlin pursed her lips: "Listening to what you said, why do I feel that the mutton-fat jade on my hand is just a piece of garbage?"
Xue Chen smiled: "You can't say that. It's not rubbish, but it's still remarkable."
At this time, a man sitting at the next table wearing a gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses took a sip of coffee and said to Xiong Linlin: "This beautiful lady, don't listen to other people's comments.
This bracelet looks great to me. To tell you the truth, my family owns a gold and jade shop. It is very rare for jade bracelets as good as yours to be made."
Xiong Linlin nodded in response.
The man in the suit turned his head and glanced at Xue Chen: "I don't know which book you read this knowledge from. You just jotted it down and commented on it. Bracelets with such good quality jade are really rare and rare.
According to what you say, there is no very good Hetian jade. I doubt if you have really seen better Hetian jade than this."
Xiong Linlin was also very unhappy that Xue Chen commented so poorly on her bracelet. She snorted softly: "Yes, Xue Chen, since you said my bracelet is good, have you seen better ones?"
Li Jiayi said from the side: "Linlin, it was you who asked Xue Chen to comment. Now that you are dissatisfied, how can you blame Xue Chen in turn?"
Xiong Linlin pouted and said: "I didn't blame him, I just asked. What he said was clear and reasonable. I think he must have seen better mutton-fat jade."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Xiong Linlin's words. As for why she had this emotion, it was because Xue Chen walked out of the No. 1 Guest House of the Military Region, while her boyfriend was standing guard at the door!
She didn't say anything, and she didn't show it on her face, but when she saw that scene, she still felt a little uncomfortable, especially since Xue Chen also knew Li Jiayi, which made her feel very embarrassed. She was originally very proud of herself.
The hostel guarding the hostel was happy that her boyfriend could get the attention of her superiors, but when she thought of Xue Chen living there, she felt that her boyfriend was the gatekeeper!
"Miss, please don't force yourself on others..." The man in the suit glanced at Xue Chen, wanting you to show off in front of two beauties and see how I embarrass you, "Hetian jade is better than your bracelet.
, there is only special-grade mutton-fat jade, and I know best how rare special-grade mutton-fat jade is. It is one in a million and is very difficult to see..."
"Gah?!"
The man in the suit hadn't finished speaking. Halfway through, his eyes straightened and he stared straight at the Hetian jade ball that Xue Chen took out from nowhere and placed on the coffee table.
Xue Chen turned his head and asked: "Since you said your family has a jade shop, take a look and see if this piece of jade can catch your eye?"
Xiong Linlin was the first to take the uncarved and polished Hetian jade ball in his hand. Almost as soon as he took it, he noticed the difference between his bracelet and the jade ball. It was very obvious.
Li Jiayi was also surprised and looked at the jade ball.
"Xue Chen, is this also Hetian jade?" Xiong Linlin asked.
"Well, it's Hetian jade, a special grade mutton-fat jade." Xue Chen said.
When the man in the suit heard that it was special-grade mutton-fat jade, his expression changed leisurely. He stood up and came closer in disbelief. When he got closer, he felt that his eyes were stinging, and he could tell that it was indeed special-grade.
Mutton-fat jade is the best among mutton-fat jade.
He had just said that it was rare to see one in a million, but he didn't expect to see it in the blink of an eye, which made his face feel a little hot.
"Special grade mutton fat jade..." Xiong Linlin held the jade ball in her hand and felt that it felt so smooth, as if it had been smeared with a layer of oil. However, upon closer inspection, she saw that there was no oil at all, and it was so pleasingly white.
Runya.
She now finally understands why Xue Chen said that her jade bracelet can only be considered good. Compared with this jade ball, it can only be considered good. Although they are both mutton-fat jade, the difference is still very big.
The man in the suit looked embarrassed, glanced at the extremely rare special-grade mutton-fat jade with fiery eyes, then glanced at Xue Chen, turned around and walked away dejectedly.
Xiong Linlin put the jade ball into Li Jiayi's hand: "Jiayi, touch it, it feels really delicate, it feels oily, and it feels really comfortable to the touch."
"Yes." Li Jiayi touched it, and it was indeed as Xiong Linlin said, making people unable to put it down. After touching it twice, she handed it back to Xue Chen.
"Xue Chen, this bracelet of mine costs 1.2 million, and your jade ball should be even more expensive." Xiong Linlin asked curiously.
"The current market price of special-grade mutton-fat jade is between 60,000 yuan and 120,000 yuan per gram. This jade ball should be able to reach the level of 100,000 yuan." Xue Chen said.
"One gram costs one hundred thousand, so how many grams does it cost?" Li Jiayi asked subconsciously.
"It seems to be less than a hundred grams." Xue Chen weighed it with his hands and roughly estimated that even if it was less than a hundred grams, it was still ninety grams.
Xiong Linlin stuck out her tongue: "Even if it's ninety grams, multiplied by one hundred thousand, wow, it's still nine million, nearly ten million."
Xiong Linlin chirped and asked, Xue Chen casually said it, and learned that it was extracted from the original stone, which made both women marvel and said it was incredible.
"Since we can cut out such good jade, why would the shop owner sell it? It's really stupid. Just cut it yourself." Xiong Linlin said.
"You can't say that, it's like buying a scratch-off lottery ticket. No one knows it will win before the lottery is drawn. Have you ever seen a lottery station that doesn't sell lottery tickets, but scratches them out by yourself?" Xue Chen explained
.
"Oh, that's right." Xiong Linlin whispered.
At this time, Li Jiayi got up and went to the toilet, and Xiong Linlin followed.
When they got to the bathroom, Xiong Linlin took Li Jiayi's hand and said, "Jiayi, how do you know this Xue Chen?"
"We met on the plane." Li Jiayi said while washing her hands.
Xiong Linlin leaned on the sink and tilted her head: "I think he seems pretty good, he seems to be very rich, and he can live in a guest house in the military area. Don't you have that kind of intention between you?"
Li Jiayi shook her head vigorously: "Linlin, don't think too much. I have only met him three times. We are not familiar with him at all. Don't think too much."
"It doesn't matter if you're not familiar with him, but after my observation, he really feels good about him. Can you try to get to know him better? You are so beautiful. I think as long as we hook up with you, he will definitely be willing to get to know you more deeply." Xiong Linlin said.
On the sidelines, he kept talking.
"Linlin, don't talk nonsense and let others hear it." Li Jiayi said a little embarrassed. (To be continued)
