Chapter 31: The Sword and the Sword See the Emerald
What Wang Changlin said immediately attracted everyone's attention. Zhang Hao and Zhang Jianshan were also attracted before they had gone far.
Whether it was Wang Changlin or Xiao Zhou in Wang Changlin's words, everyone was very interested.
"Is he Zhou Zichen? So young?" Someone asked in disbelief.
"She is very young, she looks like she is in her early twenties."
People around were talking a lot, most of them were surprised at Zhou Zichen's age.
In the stone gambling industry, talent, professional knowledge, and experience are all indispensable. Zhou Zichen can tell that there are not many emeralds among the stone kings in this stone gambling competition, which shows that he has both strong talent and profound accumulation of professional knowledge.
, and has rich experience.
Of course, despite all the speculations that people around him had about Zhou Zichen, they didn't know that Zhou Zichen could see through that piece of stone king just with a pair of mutated eyes.
Wang Changlin, Zhou Zichen and others walked out of the crowd, and everyone said hello. Many people rushed to hand Zhou Zichen their business cards. They are all in this industry, and they don't look up when they see each other. Moreover, they are in this industry, and they know a few more gamblers.
Shi Haoshou, especially Wang Changlin's genius, is always good.
All this was extremely dazzling in the eyes of Zhang Hao and Zhang Jianshan, the father and son.
Zhang Jianshan glanced at Zhang Hao coldly: "Why did you mess with Zhou Zichen?"
Zhang Hao knew that his father was unhappy. If it weren't for his relationship with Zhou Zichen, the matter would definitely not have reached this point.
Zhang Hao is still very afraid of his father and does not dare to quibble: "I have never dealt with him since I was a child. A few days ago, he defrauded me of more than 500,000 yuan, and in the end he pretended to be a good person, so the two of us got into trouble.
.”
Zhang Hao didn't explain his provocation and donated the money to the orphanage. He was clearly the one who caused the trouble in the first place, and he made it sound as if Zhou Zichen had tricked him.
Zhang Jianshan knew his son very well, and he snorted coldly: "Your speaking skills have improved a lot, and you have completely shied away your responsibilities."
Zhang Hao didn't dare to quibble, and if he argued with his father again, he would surely gain something good when he returned home.
Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Zichen bitterly, blaming Zhou Zichen. Without him, none of this would have happened.
If more than 20 million yuan were lost like this, no one would be happy.
"I will definitely, definitely trample you under my feet." Zhang Hao saw Zhou Zichen chatting politely with those respectable people, and he felt a wave of resentment in his heart. These people usually regard themselves as juniors, so they would not follow him.
You are so polite.
Zhou Zichen finished greeting the people who gathered around him, and with more than twenty business cards in his pocket, he began to prepare the stone.
Master Zhou Zichen lifts the largest and most expensive piece of stone onto the machine first.
This piece of rough stone was bought with Zhang Hao at a raised price. It cost a total of 600,000 yuan. However, Zhou Zichen was very measured when he raised the price. This piece could still earn about 100,000 yuan. If Zhou Zichen hadn't grasped the price well,
Zhang Hao would not have lost only 100,000 to 300,000 yuan per piece.
Zhou Zichen randomly drew a few lines on the original stone with a pen, not observing the original stone carefully like Zhang Jianshan.
"Xiao Zhou, you drew this line too casually!" Wang Changlin and Liu Feng shook their heads. Zhou Zichen drew it completely casually, and there was no basis for it.
These lines were drawn so that the jadeite would not be cut when clearing the stone. They had to be judged by observing the texture, ring, color, etc. of the original stone, but Zhou Zichen just drew them casually.
It was not only Wang Changlin and Liu Feng who had this idea, but also everyone watching around them.
Seeing Zhou Zichen draw the line like this, everyone was a little suspicious. The stone king that Zhou Zichen had spotted before was a blind cat and a dead mouse.
Zhou Zichen put away the pen: "I've seen it before, it should be about the same."
Zhou Zichen already said this, and Wang Changlin couldn't say much.
"thorn..."
The cutting machine made a harsh friction sound, and the rough stone was quickly cut open.
Liu Feng was even more anxious than Zhou Zichen. He quickly picked up water and poured a ladle of water on the cut noodles.
"Bai Gancui, this sword is so amazing that it didn't even damage the jadeite itself." Liu Feng was amazed.
Onlookers from all around also came up to watch, and repeatedly lamented Zhou Zichen's amazing line drawing. Even a master with decades of experience may not be able to draw so accurately. This requires not only experience, but also good luck.
.
It is already difficult to determine whether there is jade inside, but it is even more difficult to determine how big and where the jade is inside.
Baigan jade is actually a colorless jadeite. Jadeite is most commonly green, but it also comes in colorless, red, purple, blue, ink, yellow and other colors.
"Ice-grown white stem jade, although white stem green jade is not easy to sell, but water-grown jadeite is good. Master Zhou, I will offer you 600,000 yuan for this piece of material. Do you want to sell it?" Someone has already started to bid, and this price is actually still considered fair.
To be kind, after all, it's just one side.
Zhou Zichen shook his head: "I'd better take a closer look."
"That's okay too."
The stone cutter moved the knife again, following the lines Zhou Zichen had drawn before.
Liu Feng quickly poured out a gourd of water again and rinsed the cut noodles: "It's out again, it's out again! Xiao Zhou, you are so amazing, not a little more, not a little less, I admire you! I admire you!"
"
When Liu Feng spoke, he acted as if he was betting on a huge fortune.
The atmosphere around him was also heightened.
"The drawing of these two lines is really amazing. I have been betting on the stone for so long, and it is the first time I have seen it cut so accurately with both swords."
"Yes, if this is really what Master Zhou has spotted, he will probably be the number one stone gambler in the country."
"It's only two swords. For the first person in the country, it's still a bit too much."
People around him changed their names for Zhou Zichen, from Xiao Zhou, Mr. Zhou, to Master Zhou.
Zhang Jianshan, who was watching on the side, had already frowned. Is it really right to have such a trouble with Zhou Zichen? Zhang Jianshan was already a little unsure.
The resentment in Zhang Hao's eyes was compounded by jealousy. Although he was very stubborn, who didn't want to be a top figure in a certain field and be admired by thousands of people?
Zhou Zichen seems to be about to reach this point now, but what about him? He is still a stubborn second-generation rich man who is looked down upon by those masters.
"thorn..."
"thorn..."
Two more cuts were made, and the jadeite could be seen with each cut. The people around him were no longer amazed by the jadeite inside, but they were shocked by the lines drawn by Zhou Zichen. Each cut hurt him a little more.
For jadeite, if one point is missing, the jadeite will not be visible, and a layer of stone skin needs to be polished off.
"Master Zhou, I will pay 800,000 yuan for this piece of material."
"Just these four swords that Master Zhou pointed out are worth one million. I'll pay one million."
Although the people around were amazed at the four lines drawn by Zhou Zichen, this piece of jade could already be roughly estimated to be worth eight hundred thousand at most.
If Zhang Hao was cheated, it wouldn't matter Zhou Zichen's millions, not to mention hundreds of thousands.
But someone admired his accuracy in drawing the line and wanted to spend an extra 200,000 yuan to buy the rough stone. Zhou Zichen still felt a little uneasy with the 200,000 yuan: "Brother, everyone is in the industry.
The material is only worth 700,000 to 800,000 yuan at most. If you lose one million yuan, I won’t feel at ease with the money."
But the man insisted: "Master Zhou, these four swords are worth two hundred thousand. Master, give me an account and I will transfer the money immediately."
Zhou Zichen tried to persuade him, but could not overcome the other party's persistence. Zhou Zichen thought for a moment and said: "Brother, look at this, this piece of material is sold to you for one million, of which 200,000 is a joint donation from the two of us.
, donate it to orphanages, orphaned elderly people, poor students and other needy people, what do you think?"
Zhou Zichen's words made people around him praise Zhou Zichen again. Whether it was sincere appreciation or pandering, the whole audience was unanimous in admiration.
With the beginning of the first piece, Zhou Zichen didn't dare to draw the second rough stone so accurately. Every time he was just a little bit closer to seeing the jadeite.
Even so, the people around him were still amazed, because every time he cut the jade, Zhou Zichen had already calculated the position of the jadeite, and there was no difference at all. There was no need to spend another cut. There were only some corners that had to be cut.
, is unavoidable.
The second rough stone was picked by Zhou Zichen himself, and the appearance of the outer surface was really bad.
When everyone saw this rough stone, although Mogami didn't say anything, it could be seen from their expressions that they were not optimistic about it.
Zhang Hao, who was driven almost crazy by Zhou Zichen's series of things, was afraid at first that he had seen it wrong, but looking at the expressions of the people around him, he knew that almost everyone present was not optimistic about the rough stone.
Zhang Hao felt a little pleasure in his heart: "You think you are a god and can see everything accurately. If you sell such rubbish stones, you deserve the loss."
Zhang Hao wanted to rush out and taunt Zhou Zichen, but he also knew that many people wanted to be friends with Zhou Zichen. If he went out by himself, he would only annoy people, so he could only taunt Zhou Zichen in his heart.
, and then enjoy the abnormal pleasure alone.
Zhou Zichen naturally noticed that almost everyone was not optimistic about this rough stone, but he calmly drew the line, put on the stone-breaking machine, and asked the master to help break the stone.
"thorn..."
When I cut it with a knife, I didn't see the jadeite, but there was a layer of white.
This layer of white is called white flesh, and jade is likely to appear underneath. At this time, many people like to take a strong flashlight and press it on it after turning it on. If the light below is transparent, it means there is jade underneath. If not,
If there is light transmission, it means there is no light.
Under Zhou Zichen's command, the master quickly cut the entire stone, shrinking it in a circle. The last layer was all wrapped in white flesh, and no jadeite could be seen yet.
No one could tell whether there was really jade inside without using a flashlight. No one bid, so they continued to wait and see.
"Master, grind it all around."
"Okay!"
The master said and started to use magic stones.
"Case..."
Just wipe it gently to remove the outermost layer.
Liu Feng squatted aside and looked nervously at the rough stone in Master Jieshi's hand.
"Yes... yes..., jade is out again!" Liu Feng shouted excitedly.
Liu Feng knew very well that if Zhou Zichen could buy such a rough stone that no one was optimistic about and get the jadeite out of it, it would undoubtedly make Zhou Zichen even more respected by everyone.
