Chapter 455 Attempt
When the group arrived at the entrance of the morning market, it was still dark and some people were already waiting there.
Wang Sange introduced the three cowboys to the man called Uncle Zhang, who was the jade carving master he had specially found. He was quite knowledgeable about raw materials and was the person in charge of their trip. Only he made the final decision that the raw materials could be bought, and they could buy them.
Huang Xinran did not comment.
The three cowboys were very excited and kept pestering Uncle Zhang and saying a lot of good things about him.
He and the other party had agreed early on that if the other party really helped him select good materials, he would give the other party a certain percentage of the reward based on the quality of the material.
The group quickly entered the morning market.
The morning market was held indoors. They followed Brother Wang San into the morning market, and the rest of the situation was handed over to a man named Uncle Zhang.
As soon as Uncle Zhang entered the morning market, he was completely different from outside. Although there were stalls selling raw stones on both sides, he walked very fast. The light of the flashlight flashed over the raw stones, and he rarely stopped. Even if he stopped occasionally and picked up the raw stones to check, it would only take ten seconds. He would put it down again soon.
He walked and stopped along the way, and when he reached the end of the road, Uncle Zhang didn't even pick out a piece of raw stone that he was satisfied with.
Huang Xinran couldn't help but look at Uncle Zhang a few more times.
Uncle Zhang's skin was very dark, a very rough black. He was thin and small, but very tall. He hunched over and coughed from time to time, and it looked like he was in poor health.
But even so, his bean-sized eyes were still bright and sharp as he scanned the raw stone.
Soon, they walked to another row of raw stones and turned around and walked towards the door they came from.
Not far away, Uncle Zhang stopped again.
This time, what attracted him was a piece of raw stone that looked like nothing could be seen on the surface, except for the skin of weathered rock. He shone the flashlight over and over again for about ten minutes before putting it away and looking at the stall owner: "How much is this piece of material?"
"One million and a half."
The stall owner also saw what he wanted, and spoke in a neither fast nor slow tone.
"make a deal!"
Uncle Zhang made the final decision.
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "What do you mean? I won't sell it to you without bargaining!"
"You were the one who joked with me first."
"Well, eight hundred thousand. Just eighty. If you like, take it."
"It's too expensive. No."
"What's your price?"
"There are so many cracks, how dare you ask for such a high price? Give me the actual price."
"This is a good thing from Moxha. You can see the performance of the leather shell. The price I offer is very fair. I am not a person who gives random prices. Five hundred thousand. If you like, take it."
“I can’t give you that price.”
"Then how much do you say?"
"Five digits."
"What five figures? This is made of top-quality material. Look at the leather and the color. How can it only cost five figures? If you really want it, I'll give you three hundred thousand. Take it!"
"Twenty thousand."
"Twenty thousand... check the goods carefully before you give the price."
"Twenty-five thousand. The skin is too tender, the water inside is not good, the color is too light, and I can't sell it for a high price. If you are willing, I will take it for twenty-five thousand."
"That won't work..."
The two men engaged in a verbal battle, but in the end, the stall owner gave in and sold the item for 25,000 yuan.
After agreeing on the price, Uncle Zhang turned around, looked at the three cowboys and waved.
The three cowboys had been waiting eagerly on the side. Seeing this, they took out their money without saying a word. They took out three stacks of money from their pocket, counted out five thousand, and handed them to Uncle Zhang together with the other two stacks. Uncle Zhang then handed them to the stall owner.
The stall owner took the money and smiled happily. He patted the raw materials, then waved and sat down.
The three cowboys held the piece of woolen material lovingly, looking at it over and over again, with a look of great satisfaction on their faces.
When the two sides were negotiating the price, Huang Xinran also looked at the piece of wool. The whole piece of wool was wrapped in a thick leather shell, and she couldn't see what was inside. She subconsciously separated her spiritual power into a thread and drilled into the leather shell. Sure enough, she saw a hint of green.
That shade of green is so stunningly green that it is very refreshing to look at.
She blinked and realized that her spiritual power had automatically withdrawn.
Uncle Zhang was still talking to the three cowboys: "I think this piece of raw material is good. Look here, here... There is an inconspicuous bulge here, extending and winding, penetrating the entire stone. Although there is a fault in the middle, I think it should still be good. This colored python should penetrate the entire stone and become a jade belt around the waist. It is very likely that the bottom of this colored python is the colored line. If it penetrates the whole body..."
He slapped the three cowboys' hands hard.
The meaning is self-evident.
The three cowboys were delighted and stared at each other without blinking: "So what do you mean...?"
"The rest is up to you. Do you want to cut it?"
Many bosses who buy this kind of raw material will start cutting it on the spot. It is clear at a glance whether it is rising or falling.
"Cut it! Cut it now!~"
The three cowboys came here originally to buy good materials. Naturally, they would not miss this good opportunity. They bought a piece of wool and started cutting it on the spot.
There is a special place for cutting the rough stone. When a group of people passed by, it happened that the person in front of them had cut the rough stone. He threw the rough stone away while cursing and left unwillingly.
The three cowboys walked over and handed the wool to the master to cut, their hands shaking.
"Master, thank you for your hard work."
"How do you want to cut it?"
The master held a cigarette in his mouth and took the raw stone, looking at it again and again.
The three cowboys had no idea how to cut it, so they naturally turned around to ask Uncle Zhang for advice.
Uncle Zhang was discussing with Brother Wang: "This stone depends on the python. How about we cut it in half horizontally along the edge of the python?"
Uncle Zhang took the cigarette from San Niu Niu and didn't reply in a hurry. Instead, he waited for San Niu Niu to light it for him, took a puff and said, "I'm afraid it's not very good. Brother Niu, if you trust me, let's cut along this python and cut a lid first to see how it goes."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
The third cowboy himself is half-baked, oh, no! He should be said to be a novice, with limited knowledge about wool materials in his head, or was it taught by these three kings, how could he understand these?
Since Uncle Zhang said so, of course he listened.
The master nodded to show that he understood.
Soon, he took the raw material to the cutting machine, fixed the raw material, adjusted the blade according to Uncle Zhang's instructions, and then turned on the power.
The cutting machine made a series of noises, which soon attracted many passers-by to watch.
The three cowboys were so excited that they were shaking all over.
His face was pretending to be calm.
At this time, he would naturally lose the man rather than the formation.
Huang Hongyuan next to him was really calm. He smoked silently and seemed to be completely oblivious to his surroundings.
