The problems of money and identity were resolved in less than an hour and a half, and Yang Jing no longer had any difficulties.
Seeing that it was still early, Yang Jing called Cai Yi.
As soon as Cai Yi answered the phone, he asked, "Why are you calling at this time? Did you find something good again?"
Because of the Qianlong blue and white five-bat-holding-a-long-ear-vase, the Dongbi sword, and the thirty-six ancient precious coins, Cai Yi and Yang Jing became much more familiar with each other and spoke more casually.
Yang Jing said, "Uncle Cai, I didn't find anything good. I just want to consult you about something. Uncle Cai, do you know any skilled jade carving masters? I have three pieces of material and I want to find a skilled jade carving master to process them."
"Hey, you're no longer dealing with antiques, are you turning to jade carving?"
"Where can I get it? Uncle Cai, I just have a few pieces of good jade. I'm afraid that using an ordinary jade carving master would ruin these three pieces of jade, so I want to find a master jade carving master."
"Hey, you're panting when I tell you you're fat! Do you think this good material is cabbage? How many pieces do you have left? Xiao Yangzi, do you know that those who can be called jade carving masters usually don't start carving? If you want them to do it, your material must at least be high-grade ice jadeite or high-quality white jade for processing raw materials. It won't work if it's smaller. Xiao Yangzi, do you have such good material?"
Yang Jing smiled and said, "The material I have is similar to what you described. Uncle Cai, do you know any jade carving masters?"
Hearing Yang Jing say this, Cai Yi became a little curious, so he said: "If you have nothing to do in the morning, come to my office. I do know a famous Beijing-style jade carving master. But you have to bring the material to me first for me to take a look. If the material does not meet the requirements, even if the master and I have a good relationship, he will not make a move."
Yang Jing was delighted when he heard this. "Okay, Uncle Cai, just wait and see. I will bring you the material in a while. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Jing drove Wang Jiazan's car straight to the Palace Museum.
It's strange to say, I arrived in Yanjing on the 4th, and today is the 9th. This is my third time to go to the Palace Museum in five days. I haven't visited other places yet, but I have gotten familiar with the huge Palace Museum first.
As usual, Cai Yi was waiting for Yang Jing at the entrance of Xihuamen. Without his guidance, Yang Jing had no chance of entering the Palace Museum through this gate.
Arriving at Cai Yi's office, Yang Jing opened the suitcase with a smile and carefully took out two pieces of material wrapped in velvet.
Cai Yi asked curiously, "Aren't there three pieces of material? Why are there only two?"
Yang Jing smiled and took out a piece of full green jade the size of a country egg from his pocket. As soon as Cai Yi saw the jade, his eyes were immediately fixed on it...
"Is this, is this full green old mine glass-type jadeite?" After a long while, Cai Yi came back to his senses. He reached out and took the jadeite, held it in his hand, looked at it and asked Yang Jing.
"Well, this is what I bought from a shop specializing in gambling on stones in Tianqu before I came to Yanjing. This piece of material is black sand from the Mowanji field. I spent 15,000 yuan on it at the time, but I didn't expect to get a piece of full green glass."
"You kid..." Cai Yi was speechless. Although he was a porcelain collector, he was also very knowledgeable about jade. He certainly understood how much such a piece of material with excellent color and water content could be worth in the current situation where high-end jade is in short supply! Even if this piece of material is an out-and-out small piece, if it is sold outside, 10 million is just the starting price!
This kind of top-quality full-green old mine glass-type jade is extremely rare nowadays.
"Uncle Cai, I wonder if this piece of material is worth it for your master friend to buy it?"
Cai Yi nodded and said, "If you give him such material, I dare say he won't charge you for the labor. Even my friend will have few opportunities to work with such top-quality material in his lifetime. I'll call him right now, and as soon as he hears that you have some old pit glass-type material for him to cut, he will definitely come over right away."
Cai Yi didn't waste any time, he picked up the phone and dialed.
While Cai Yi was on the phone, Yang Jing slowly untied the velvet cloth wrapped around the two pieces of Hetian jade.
"Binzi, if you have nothing to do, please come to my office right away. One of my juniors brought a piece of full green old pit glass jadeite, and is now looking for a jade carving master on the street to carve it. Binzi, if you don't hurry up and come here, if he finds another jade carver, don't say I didn't notify you! Hurry up, hurry up..."
Cai Yi couldn't continue talking before he finished speaking. In front of him, the two pieces of Hetian jade that had been unwrapped just stood there quietly, like two peerless beauties, one tall and one short. Once people looked at them, they couldn't take their eyes off them.
"Hey, Brother Cai, can you tell me how big the piece of material is? What is its general shape? I can figure it out on the way... Hey, Brother Cai, please say something..."
In the quiet office, there was no other sound except the anxious voice of the jade carving master coming from the phone.
Cai Yi stared at the two pieces of jade for two minutes, then he pointed at them with a trembling hand and said, "Yangzi, don't tell me that you also found these two pieces of jade..."
