Even though my uncle is severely nearsighted and wears glasses with over 400 degrees of myopia, strangely enough, his dynamic vision is very strong. Just like when they were cutting the stone just now, Yang Jing, the "main surgeon", and Xu Jianmin, the assistant, hadn't seen clearly yet, but my uncle, who was standing three or four meters away, saw the green at a glance.
But Xu Jianmin had been a partner with his uncle in gambling on raw stones for several years, so he was of course aware of his uncle's abnormal vision. So without saying a word, he picked up the mineral water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and poured half the bottle of water directly on the raw stone.
Yang Jing wiped it casually, and sure enough, a hint of green was revealed in the window, which was about the size of a beer bottle cap.
Xu Jianmin turned on a strong flashlight and shone it towards the window for a while, then excitedly patted Yang Jing on the shoulder and said, "Good job, man, you are really lucky. This is a piece of glutinous yellow and green. After all the materials are extracted, this piece of material can be worth 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, which is a big increase."
This piece of material was the first one picked out by Yang Jing, so of course he knew what was in it.
"Man, take a rest now, let me rub this piece of material. Wow, haha, I haven't made a green jadeite in a long time, today I can finally have a taste of it."
Yang Jing knew that although his uncle Jianmin no longer gambled on stones, he had never stopped cutting stones over the years. After all, he still had to make seals for others, and he had to cut about ten stones every month. Although he had never had the luck to cut the legendary Shoushan Tianhuang and Changhua Chicken Bloodstone, he had at least cut a few pieces of Bahrain Chicken Bloodstone and Qingtian Stone. Of course, he cut more seal stones such as QH stone, ZJ Xiaoshanhong, and LN stone.
Therefore, Xu Jianmin's stone-cutting technique is still quite advanced. At least in terms of "stability", Yang Jing is ashamed of himself.
That’s right. Just looking at Xu Jianmin’s wrist, which is thicker than his forearm, is enough to understand how strong this burly man’s wrist is.
Yang Jing was also happy to be free, so he gave up his seat and squatted aside to drip water.
Xu Jianmin's stone-polishing speed was much faster than Yang Jing's. The angle grinder was so fast and steady in his hands. Originally, Yang Jing estimated that it would take him twenty minutes or even more than half an hour to polish the rough material, but Xu Jianmin completely polished the material in less than fifteen minutes.
This is a piece of glutinous yellow and green jade that is slightly smaller than a goose egg. Although the type and color are not top-notch, the water quality of this material is very good.
Xu Jianmin grabbed the water bottle and poured some water on the material. After thoroughly washing off the floating dirt on it, he happily picked up the material and said, "Xiaolong, look at the material your nephew picked out. It's very good. Although it's just a piece of yellow and green glutinous rice, the water content is very good. It can be sold for about 100,000 yuan."
The uncle took the piece of material and kept turning it over and looking at it: "Well, although this piece of material is a little small and can't be made into a bracelet, and the color is a little mixed, it can't be made into a ring face, but it can be made into a few pendants, and it won't be a problem to sell it for 100,000."
If you want to make jade bracelets, you must use medium or large pieces. This piece of material, which is a little smaller than a goose egg, cannot be made into a bracelet. Similarly, if you want to make jade ring faces, you usually choose materials of the same color or colorless materials. Materials like yellow and green or spring colors are not suitable for ring faces. That's why my uncle said just now that this piece of material cannot be used for ring faces.
This directly lowers the price of this material a lot.
In fact, in jade collection, except for glass or high ice bracelets, the collection value of other types of bracelets is not as good as ring faces.
To make a bracelet, as long as the material is big enough, you don't have to worry about the color of the stone. But to make a ring face, there are many requirements.
Although the size of the material is not very demanding, the material quality and color are very high. Materials below ice quality can hardly be used to make ring faces. And the material used to make ring faces must not have any flaws. These requirements alone are much stricter than those for making bracelets.
The price of top-grade glass bracelets is shockingly high, but the price of top-grade glass ring faces is equally staggering. And strictly speaking, for jadeite of the same color, the price of a ring face of the same size is higher than that of a bracelet!
Because of its small size, the price of an old pit glass ring face cannot be compared with a bracelet of the same water color, but for women, the ring face is much more attractive than the bracelet.
This is why jade ring faces have always been called "Eye of Jade".
Xu Jianmin also smiled and said: "It's a bit of a pity. If this material was not yellow and green, but only one color, it could barely be made into a ring face based on the water content of this material. Alas, what a pity..."
Yang Jing said, "I am already very satisfied to be able to carve out such a piece of material. Uncle Jianmin, how about we continue?"
Xu Jianmin laughed loudly, gave Yang Jing a thumbs up and said, "You have a good attitude. Your uncle and I didn't have your attitude back then, otherwise we wouldn't have caused such chaos at home in those years. Well, let's stop talking about that and continue."
It took another hour or so to untie the other two potato-sized pieces of material.
The jadeite from these two pieces of rough material is smaller than the first one, about the size of an egg, and they are also glutinous jadeite. However, the colors of these two pieces of jadeite are single colors, one is spinach green and the other is bean green, but neither is full green.
These two pieces of material are similar to the first one, and neither can be made into ring faces. The main reason is that although the colors of some parts of the latter two pieces of material meet the requirements, the water quality is not enough, especially the water content is not enough, so even if they are made into ring faces, they cannot be sold at a high price.
There is no need to ask a jade carver to look at this. My uncle and Xu Jianmin can determine the purpose of these two pieces of material.
The three pieces of material can be used to make pendants without any problem. About twelve or thirteen pendants can be made from the three pieces of material in total, so these three pieces of material can be sold for about three hundred thousand.
I bought four pieces of material for 90,000 yuan, and now after unwrapping three of them, I can sell them for 300,000 yuan. This is already a profit of 300%, a very good rate of return.
But what surprised the uncle and Xu Jianmin even more was that Yang Jing only picked four pieces of material. Although the last piece had not been solved yet, three of the four pieces of material contained material. This probability was already quite terrifying!
If we calculate based on this probability, Yang Jing is definitely good at gambling on jadeite. Even those so-called gambling on jadeite masters and jadeite kings probably can't do it this well, right?
Three out of four, this is not something that ordinary people can do. If it is true as Yang Jing said, he purely relies on intuition to select materials, then this guy's intuition is really terrifying!
PS: I would like to thank “冰冷八度” for the reward of 100.
