Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
Jade is an extremely precious jewelry material, and the Chinese people have loved this jewelry material since ancient times.
However, in ancient times, only the royal family or dukes and princes could afford this thing. After all, mining jade is too difficult. Even before the new century, this precious jewelry material could only be mined manually, let alone in ancient times.
But this still cannot stop people from liking this jewelry material with gorgeous colors.
Later, Westerners gradually began to pay attention to this jewelry material, which made jadeite popular all over the world. However, the amount of this thing that can be mined is so small that the price of the best jadeite has become so high that it is daunting.
But this has attracted more and more people to join the jade gambling army. At present, there is no instrument that can "see through" the surface layer of jade rough stone, so those who want to get rich overnight can only "gamble" to see if the rough stone they bet on contains the capital to make them rich overnight.
Therefore, gambling on stones has become a business long time ago.
Gambling on stones, gambling on stones, on the surface it seems that the key lies in the word "gambling", but in fact, after the gambling, there is another process that is also very important, that is "cutting the stone".
After a rough material is won, whether there is anything good inside depends on the stone cutting. The method of stone cutting is actually very simple, it is nothing more than rubbing and cutting. But don't underestimate the stone cutting because it is very simple. Stone cutting is a key process related to the value of the jade meat in the rough material. Once there is a problem in stone cutting, the most direct consequence is that it greatly affects the value of jade.
A master of stone cutting can make a piece of material with very low real value to a sky-high price, this is not nonsense. For example, a master of stone cutting spends 500,000 to gamble and wins a piece of blind material, and this blind material is actually a piece of green on the skin. Then the master of stone cutting can open several windows on this blind material by rubbing the stone, and green can be seen in each window. Then, even if this material is not cut, its value can at least soar to 3 million or even more.
Because this stone-cutting master used this stone-cutting method to turn a piece of jadeite with green skin into a piece of pure green jadeite!
This kind of thing can be seen every year at the jade auction in Myanmar or the jade bases in Guangdong Province, which is enough to prove the value of a master stone cutter.
Similarly, a novice stone cutter spent 500,000 yuan to bet back a piece of covered stone. There was really something inside this covered stone, and it was a large icy green stone that could be made into bracelets. However, because this novice stone cutter did not know how to cut the stone, he directly cut the stone in half. As a result, a piece of material that could originally be made into several pairs of bracelets became a material that could only be made into pendants and ring faces.
If this piece of material was complete and could be made into a bracelet, then the value of this full green ice-type material might be more than 30 million. However, because of the cut in the middle by this stone-cutting rookie, the value of this piece of material dropped directly to less than 10 million...
This kind of thing happens quite a few times every year.
This is the importance of stone cutting.
Gambling on stones is a means of discovering good materials, while stone cutting is a means of reflecting the maximum value of the materials! Both are indispensable.
Of course, a master in gambling on stones is usually also a master in stone cutting, because the two complement each other. A novice in stone cutting is often also a novice in gambling on stones.
However, we cannot rule out the possibility of a newbie who has incredible luck. Although this newbie knows nothing, he can use his incredible luck to bet back a piece of raw material the size of a basketball with 200,000 yuan. Originally, no one was optimistic about this piece of material, so no one bet on it, but this foolish boy ended up betting back.
Then, they just casually cut it with a knife, and not only did they not damage the jade flesh inside, but they also cut out all the top-quality jadeite that was originally divided into two pieces from the material - two pieces of old pit glass-type imperial green full-green jadeite that can be made into bracelets, worth hundreds of millions...
Of course, the chance of this kind of rookie with incredible luck appearing is even lower than the chance of the glass-type imperial green with full green, otherwise there would be no need to hold the public auction in Myanmar.
However, today's Gege seems to have turned into a rookie with incredible luck...
Originally, Yang Jing wanted to help his wife choose a good piece of stone, and then let her solve it to make her happy, but the other party ignored Yang Jing's good intentions and gave a very strong reason - since I am the one who is here to gamble on the stone and solve it, why are you interfering...
This sentence made Yang Jing feel so uncomfortable, but in order to make his wife happy, he really couldn't help her choose. So he could only watch his wife picking and choosing on the shelf with a constipated look on his face.
Finally, the girl found the largest piece of head covering material on the shelf.
"Yang Jing, this is the one! It's the biggest one anyway. This is what your master left behind, so I'll start with the biggest one!" Gege said loudly. Over there, my uncle and Xu Jianmin were polishing the stones, and the noise in the factory was quite loud. When Gege was selecting the rough material just now, they had been working for a while, and it was estimated that the material was almost polished out.
Seeing this piece of material, Yang Jing couldn't help but curl his lips, but the reason given by his wife was equally powerful, so Yang Jing directly turned into a porter and moved this flat, round, covered material the size of a washbasin and weighing about 80 kilograms to the stone cutter.
This piece of material is not small in size, but its performance is not the best. If it didn’t have a "python belt" on it, the stone selectors probably wouldn’t have kept it.
