Chapter 211 I am such a little genius!
Du Weilu was so heartbroken over missing out on his treasure that he almost had a heart attack and collapsed to the ground, becoming the laughing stock of everyone again.
After Du Tianci was frightened, he obviously thought of this and his face suddenly turned pale.
This might be the closest he has ever been to becoming rich in his life. Thinking of what Mr. Li just mentioned, the small piece of fortune, wealth, longevity and happiness ornament that was auctioned abroad not long ago was sold for 100 million.
The piece on the tray now is visibly bigger and better than the other one in terms of size and quality. If it were to be made into a finished product, wouldn’t it be able to sell for 200 million or even 300 million?
With only two million, he earned three hundred million...
When Du Tianci thought about this, he felt his heart was bleeding.
Young Master Du was relieved. If Du Tianci really let him buy this treasure, it would undoubtedly be disadvantageous to his situation.
But this did not prevent him from being jealous of Duanrao's good luck.
However, Duanrao, who was envied and hated by everyone at this moment, stared at the raw stone on the tray with a solemn expression, as if thinking about something.
[It turns out that it was not my illusion, there is really light on this stone. ]
Is there light? Jiang Changbin and Xi Jingyue were stunned and subconsciously looked down.
The four-color jadeite does have a breathtaking beauty under the light, and even without being polished, it can still easily attract people's attention.
But if you ask me if there is any light above, sorry that they are too short-sighted to see it!
The light that Du Anrao talked about is actually the veins flowing inside the jade.
After coming down from the mountain, she had come into contact with a lot of jade jewelry and even bought a bunch of them not long ago, but she had never come across anything like this.
It was novel yet strangely familiar. After thinking carefully, she remembered that when she first met her master, she seemed to have seen this kind of flowing light on the jade pendant he wore around his waist.
It was for this reason that the master, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs and especially hated trouble, chose to take action personally and wade into the muddy water of her "home", entangled for a long time with her nominal grandparents at the time, that is, Wang Xuehe's parents.
It took a lot of time, energy and money to completely sever her ties with that family and bring her up the mountain.
[Well, I remember that Master seemed to have said that the reason why the jade pendant could see this flowing light was because there was something inside it called... spiritual essence.]
Spiritual essence?! Isn't that something that only exists in fantasy stories?
This was Jiang Changbin's first reaction, but on second thought, he could hear his little cousin's thoughts and had even seen with his own eyes his little cousin helping his brother get rid of the evil spirit.
The mere appearance of a spiritual essence that I thought I had only heard of in fantasy stories doesn’t seem that hard to accept?
Xi Jingyue had similar thoughts as him. As one of the earliest spectators, he had seen all kinds of outrageous things, and this one was no exception.
Compared to the rationality of this thing, he was more concerned about what the so-called spiritual essence was used for. It sounded like a... good thing?
Facts have proved that this spiritual essence is indeed a rare and good thing. It is the result of jade absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Although it cannot make the stone really develop intelligence and become a spirit, it can invisibly nourish the wearer's eight extraordinary meridians, cure diseases, ward off disasters, and prolong life. It is most suitable to give it to the elders in the family.
When Xi Jingyue heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but become interested in this piece of raw stone. His grandparents were both alive, and they were not young anymore.
If Duan Rao could be persuaded to sell him two pieces of jewelry made of raw stones, even if they were just two small peace lockets, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for the two old people.
However, considering Duanrao's rather large family, this hope might not be so easy to realize.
At that time, Duanrao did not know that her precious rough stone had been targeted. After confirming what was inside the stone, she turned to look at Ms. Qiu, who was standing not far behind her and was also very interested in this Fu Lu Shou Xi rough stone.
"Aunt Qiu, your company is the leading jewelry brand in the country, and you have your own design department. You should know how to polish this stone into real jewelry, right?"
When Ms. Qiu heard Du Anrao's words, she guessed her intention. Her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Of course! As long as Miss Du needs it, everyone in our company will serve you wholeheartedly."
Duan Rao needs their company's help to process the raw stone and make it into finished jewelry. Their company can also take this opportunity to make this rare Fu Lu Shou Xi raw stone into a representative work of their company, so as to enhance their company's reputation in the industry. This is a completely mutually beneficial and win-win thing!
"Then can you help me see what this material can be made into?"
"Although this material is only the size of a palm, it is very thick. What is rare is that the color distribution in this whole piece of material is quite harmonious, and the jade is also very transparent without too many impurities. Although the material is so thick, you can see the bottom at a glance when looking down from the top. The water quality is quite good."
Ms. Qiu stroked her chin and said thoughtfully, "In order to ensure the integrity of this material as much as possible, I suggest making it into a larger tabletop ornament and engraving auspicious patterns on it, which is appropriate to match its own meaning."
Duanrao was not very satisfied with this proposal. He thought that making it into a decoration and placing it at home would have some benefits if people touched it every day, but the benefits were not as good as wearing it with them.
"How long will it take if it is made into a decorative piece?"
"This..." Ms. Qiu also realized the problem and said awkwardly, "Carving ornaments is a delicate technical job. It will probably take several months or even longer to completely carve such a large piece of raw stone."
"It's been too long. Is there anything else I can do besides this? I want to make something that they can wear easily."
Ms. Qiu was stunned for a moment, stared at the raw stone for a long time, and nodded, "In that case, with the thickness of this stone, Ms. Du can try to make two bracelets, and then use the material from the center of the bracelets to make two hanging plaques or a larger round jade pendant, and carve patterns of dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and other auspicious animals on them."
Duan Rao's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, let's do it! How long will it take to finish all this?"
"This... the bracelet is easy to make. It takes about a week to polish it day and night. The jade pendant and the plaque are a little more troublesome. It will take at least two to three months at the fastest."
Du Anrao thought about the time when Du Desheng and his wife would get married, and sighed: "Then you help me make the bracelet first. I want to see the finished product in a week. As for the rest, we can be less anxious. The remaining material in the center of the bracelet, one piece can be made into two hanging plaques, and the other piece can be made into a jade pendant with a Qilin carved on it."
[This way, when my uncle and grandma Qin get married, I can give them the bracelet as a wedding gift. Then I can give my uncle the Qilin jade pendant as a yearly gift. Oh my god, I am such a little genius!]
Jiang Changbin and Xi Jingyue: Poof...
