Yang Jing also nodded thoughtfully. Under the current circumstances, jadeite is ranked according to this collection level.
"In fact, under the premise of using the same grade of jade materials, the most valuable ones are ornaments! But now these people all compare ice-type or even glass-type ring faces with glutinous-type or even horse-tooth-type jade ornaments. How can the two be comparable? The value of a glass-type ring face is several times or even dozens of times that of a glutinous-type ornament that is hundreds of times its volume. Is there any way to compare them? Do you have the ability to compare a high-ice-type ring face with a large ornament of the same high-ice type? Let's put aside the texture of the jade material, the carving skills alone are enough to surpass the carving skills used for a ring face by eight streets!"
After a pause, Jiang Bin said indignantly, "Let's not talk about anything else. The jadeite cabbage collected by the Taibei Palace Museum is also a decoration. Why doesn't anyone compare it with glass-grown ring faces or bracelets? And they say that decorations have the lowest collection value. This is pure nonsense! A top-quality ring face or bracelet is at most a family heirloom, but a decoration carved out of top-quality jade can become a treasure that will be passed down from generation to generation!"
......
They had lunch at Jiang Bin's house. What Yang Jing didn't expect was that his Uncle Jiang not only had unparalleled skills in jade carving, but his talent in cooking seemed to be no worse than his skills in jade carving.
"Haha, I liked eating it before. After I got married and had kids, I kept cooking at home. Over time, I naturally developed the skill. Come, let's have a drink together!"
Jiang Bin also likes to drink Erguotou, and he likes the 56-degree Red Ertou that is commonly seen in street shops in Yanjing. In this respect, his taste is similar to Yang Jing's.
These days since returning to China, the money in his wallet has been getting more and more, and the quality of the wine he drinks is getting higher and higher. During this period after returning to China, the only wine he drinks is Wuliangye and Feitian Moutai, which really makes Yang Jing greedy.
I drank Erguotou with Jiang Bin today, and the four dishes made by Jiang Bin tasted very authentic. Before we knew it, we had finished two bottles of Erguotou.
Yang Jing came by car, so he couldn't move the car under such circumstances. Fortunately, Jiang Bin's house was spacious and there was plenty of room, so Yang Jing slept until about five in the afternoon.
When he got up, the smell of alcohol was almost gone. After washing his face, Yang Jing found Jiang Bin in the workshop, looking down in deep thought at a piece of high-quality icy boxwood green jadeite. Under his hands were several sketches, and it was obvious that he was designing this piece of jadeite.
Of the six jadeite pieces brought by Yang Jing, Jiang Bin finally kept the largest piece of high ice jadeite. Although this piece of material is not glass jadeite, it is also old pit high ice jadeite, and it is so big and full of green, and its value is even more valuable than ordinary glass jadeite with poor color.
Since he wanted to leave a treasure to be passed down from generation to generation, Jiang Bin would naturally keep the largest piece of jade. As for the remaining five pieces of jade, Jiang Bin said he had a way to sell them and guaranteed that he could sell them at a price that would satisfy Yang Jing.
These five pieces of ice jade are all from old mines. No matter their quality, color or size, they are rarely seen nowadays. Jade from new mines cannot compare with this kind of old mine jade. As long as the news gets out, there will definitely be jewelry companies rushing to buy them.
Jiang Bin is a jade carving master, and all the major jewelry companies are begging for this master. If he comes forward to sell jade, the price will naturally not be too low. Yang Jing also trusts him, so he entrusts the remaining five pieces of jade to him to sell.
Sure enough, the next day, the bosses of more than a dozen large jewelry companies gathered in Jiang Bin’s courtyard with their accountants and secretaries.
Yanjing is the capital of China and one of the most developed cities in China. It is also one of the cities with the largest number of wealthy people in China. Therefore, the world-famous jewelry companies and the top domestic jewelry companies all have flagship stores or branches in Yanjing. This has also led to fierce competition in the Yanjing jewelry market, which can be described as extremely brutal.
Everyone wants to monopolize this huge market, but no one can dominate it alone.
The brutal competition is not only reflected in the market share, but also in the competition for talents, raw materials, sales channels, etc. The competition is extremely brutal in all aspects, especially the jewelry raw materials which are the lifeblood of jewelry companies. They have always been the most concerned issue for the bosses of major jewelry companies.
Now, Master Jiang Bin, the leading figure in Beijing-style jade carving, has spread the word that he has five pieces of old-mine icy jadeite weighing about 30 kilograms ready to sell. Immediately, the bosses of these jewelry companies all rushed over like sharks smelling blood.
In the current situation where the old pit glass jade is almost extinct, ice jade is the main force of major jewelry companies. Thirty kilograms of old pit ice jade is enough to support a jewelry company's high-end jade sales for more than half a year or even a whole year.
The five pieces of jade that Yang Jing took out were not ice jade in the general sense. These five pieces of jade were all old mine ice jade, and they had good water content and bright color. Although there was only one piece of full green ice jade among them, the remaining four pieces of jade also accounted for the majority of the green color.
In the current market, a colorless new pit ice bracelet can be sold for hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and an old pit ice green bracelet has a starting price of several million. Just like the piece of violet ice jadeite that Yang Jing's uncle took away, the price of a violet ice jadeite bracelet can exceed eight figures.
If the high-quality boxwood green jadeite left by Jiang Bin was used to make a bracelet, the starting price for a bracelet would be at least 13 million!
Ice-type jade is also different from other ice-type jades. Nowadays, those new ice-type jades, let alone a fully green bracelet, even a bracelet with floating green or blue will cost millions.
