Fu Song picked up the egg-sized jadeite stone, looked at it for a while, and asked, "How much is this?"
Yu Dahai: "3800 yuan."
Jin Xiaobei immediately became unhappy: "Boss, you dare to sell such a small thing for 3800, do you really think we are fools?
Look at its skin, it is rough and cracked, it is a typical white salt sand skin.
After turning on the light, the lichen was thick and lingering, the pine flowers were hazy like fog, and the cracks went straight through to the bottom. Not to mention 3800, even 2000 is not worth it.
"This..." Yu Dahai was a little embarrassed. "Little brother, you can't say that. You should know that our Linglongxuan has sold treasures worth 2 million."
Jin Xiaobei curled his lips and said, "So what if it produces a 2 million yuan treasure? Can you guarantee that this stone will also produce a 2 million yuan treasure?
OK, I don’t ask for 2 million either.
As long as you guarantee that the jade it yields is worth 20,000, let alone 3,800, I'll pay for it!"
Yu Dahai was helpless: "Little brother, as the saying goes, one cut can make you poor, another cut can make you rich. Who can guarantee whether the jadeite rough stone will be cut down or increased in value?"
“That’s the end of it.
Since you cannot guarantee its value, you should sell it at the normal market price instead of asking for a high price just because you have cut out good things in the past.
That's not how business works. Don't you think that since you raised the price, fewer people have come?"
"I..." Yu Dahai's face darkened. It was obvious that Jin Xiaobei's last sentence touched his sore spot.
"Okay, if you really want it, take this rough stone for 2000!"
"It's not 2,000. You forgot, we're still staying at your house, so we'll give you a 10% discount."
"Brother, you can't pay this price... Never mind, I'll give you 1800."
After hearing this, Jin Xiaobei looked at Fu Song and said, "Brother Fu, do you think we can buy it?"
Fu Song seemed to have just met Jin Xiaobei: "Your bargaining skills...awesome!"
Jin Xiaobei scratched his head embarrassedly: "There's nothing we can do about it.
I would come every time there was a public auction in Pingzhou to see if I could pick out a couple of good stones to revitalize my family business.
I don't have much money, so I have to spend it frugally.
Over time, I didn't learn any other skills, but I became very good at bargaining.
I know exactly what the price of any rough stone should be, and no one can cheat me."
Fu Song gave a thumbs up, he realized that he made the right decision by bringing Jin Xiaobei with him.
"Very good, from now on, any stone I like will be priced by you.
Of course, your hard work won't be in vain. You'll get 1% of all profits from the Pingzhou Jade Auction."
"Really? Thank you, Brother Fu!" Jin Xiaobei said with a smile.
He regarded Fu Song's 1% share as encouragement from the other party and didn't care about it at all.
Little did he know that Fu Song's words would bring about earth-shaking changes to him.
After the price was agreed upon, Fu Song paid and the transaction was successful.
Yu Dahai said with a smile, "Boss Fu, do you want to cut it?"
Fu Song nodded: "Of course I will cut it, but please don't damage it."
There is a reason why he said that.
The jadeite in the jadeite raw stone is located in different locations due to the different geological structures or environments in which it was formed.
If the cutting is done incorrectly, the price of jadeite that originally looked very good may be cut in half or even become worthless.
Hearing Fu Song's words, Yu Dahai patted his chest and smiled, "Don't worry, boss. I have been cutting stones for so many years and have never made a mistake.
And since your rough stone is small, you don't need to cut it at all, you can just scrape off the stone skin."
Only then did Fu Song hand over the raw stone with confidence.
Yu Dahai turned on the stone grinding machine, selected the right position, and gently pushed the rapidly rotating grinding wheel.
Although it was just a small piece of raw stone worth less than two thousand yuan, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.
The next moment.
A long sigh was heard, and the rubbed surface was covered with white spots, which was no different from the white salt sandpaper on the surface.
Cut it down.
Yu Dahai looked at Fu Song and was about to speak, but was interrupted by him: "What are you standing there for? Keep going!"
"good!"
This time, Yu Dahai chose the side. This was the second and final cut.
If there is no jade on the side, it means that the raw stone is completely useless.
Squeak
The sound of grinding wheels rubbing against stone skins filled the entire room, but most people's attention was focused elsewhere.
As someone who has been dealing with jadeite raw stones for half his life, Yu Dahai is very precise in his moves.
With the first cut, he chose the location most likely to produce jadeite, but in the end, nothing was found.
Rather than calling it a second blow, it actually feels more like a comfort.
Because under normal circumstances, if the first cut does not produce green, it can be thrown away as waste.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a light exclamation was heard.
Then Yu Dahai's voice was filled with disbelief: "How... is this possible?"
Everyone turned their heads immediately, and the next moment, they opened their mouths in shock.
Only at the second scratch on the jadeite stone in Yu Dahai's hand, a bright yellow light could be seen faintly.
Jin Xiaobei was the first to rush over, snatch the stone and examine it carefully under the light.
The next moment, he looked at Fu Song: "Brother Fu, let's cut the price."
Fu Song said calmly, "In this case, please ask Boss Yu to help you deal with it."
Yu Dahai nodded. He first determined the position of the jade in the raw stone, and then started cutting again.
Soon, a jadeite stone piece two fingers wide, six centimeters long and one centimeter thick appeared in front of everyone.
Handing the stone to Fu Song, Yu Dahai said with a smile: "It is an icy yellow jadeite. Congratulations, boss, on your prosperity."
