Chapter 300 This young man actually
After Li Chenghui finished cutting the raw materials, he felt unwell.
After all, it was a loss of four million in one go. No one would be able to accept this unacceptable reality in a short time.
The shopkeeper and cutting masters of Baiyitang have long been accustomed to this situation.
After the shopkeeper comforted Li Chenghui for a few words, he asked the clerk to take him to the rest area on the side to drink some tea and relax.
After settling Li Chenghui, the shopkeeper immediately greeted Ji Chen with a smile, "Boss Ji, we are going to start preparing the ingredients for you now."
Ji Chen smiled and said, "Okay." Then he put his arm around Bai Lianwan's shoulders and led her to the cutting area.
Bai Lianwan felt Ji Chen's movements and was a little confused. She looked back and asked doubtfully, "Should I go too?"
Ji Chen didn't comment, and whispered in her ear in a voice that both of them could hear, "I'm worried about leaving you alone over there."
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something, and then he turned to Lin Qingya, who was left behind, and said, "Sister Qingya, do you want to come over and watch the process of cutting this stone with me?"
When Lin Qingya heard Ji Chen's words, she nodded immediately, "Of course!"
As she spoke, she strode over.
Fortunately, her brother-in-law has a conscience and remembers to greet her.
The three of them came to the cutting area, and the cutting master was inspecting Ji Chen's stone.
Ji Chen came to the master's side, pointed to a subtle natural crack in the stone, and said, "Start cutting from here."
This material belongs to the blind head material, which is also the first cut in cutting, just like opening a window in a jade gambling stone. A small opening is needed to infer the approximate quality of the jade inside.
If there are cracks on the surface of the jadeite raw stone, you can just make the first cut directly on the crack, just like the one Ji Chen bought today.
When the stone cutting master heard Ji Chen's words, he looked at him with a hint of surprise and said with a smile, "Young boss, you are not very old, but you are really knowledgeable about stone materials."
In fact, he also wanted to cut from this position, but before making a decision, he wanted to see if there was any other suitable position.
Ji Chen smiled faintly, "I just happened to be interested in this area."
"Then you will definitely have a bright future, young boss." The master complimented with a smile, took out a marker and outlined the crack in the center of the stone. "Then do as you say, young boss, and start cutting from this position."
Lin Qingya and Bai Lianwan had almost no experience with this kind of thing, so they just felt it was very novel and watched the whole process attentively.
Of course, as a stone-gambling expert, Lin Qingya would not miss the scene of Ji Chen and Bai Lianwan waiting for the material to be cut. She raised her camera to record their first stone-gambling date.
The onlookers around didn't leave either.
It’s not that they are looking forward to whether Ji Chen’s blind material will produce good materials, but they want to see what his reaction will be when the stone he bought for 200,000 yuan turns out to be a worthless "dragon fruit".
Since Ji Chen's stone is relatively large, it will take a longer time to cut.
While waiting, many people began to discuss and communicate in low voices.
"This young man is actually quite courageous. He bought this kind of head covering material right away. If it were me, I would hesitate even if it cost 10,000 yuan."
"The main thing is that the covering material is very thick, and there are no signs of him being a good material. He must be just playing around."
"I don't think it's a joke. After all, the girl taking the photo next to him said he has a part-time job. How much can a part-time job earn? He must be using the money he earned from the part-time job to come here and gamble. He's quite courageous."
"It's a shame, though. He's got the guts, but his eyesight is a bit lacking. Based on my years of experience gambling on blind-headed stones, this piece is 100% a 'dragon fruit'."
…
Everyone was talking at once, and it took nearly 15 minutes to use the cutting machine to completely cut the more than one meter long stone from one side.
After the master stopped the cutting machine, several workers immediately stepped forward, turned over the cut surface of the raw material that had been split into two pieces, rinsed it with water, and displayed it in front of everyone.
When everyone present saw the cut surfaces of the two stones, their eyes widened almost instantly and they were completely stunned!
Under the sunlight, the water-soaked stone's entire cut surface is extremely fine and uniform, with no graininess or emerald green visible to the naked eye. It has an extremely high density and excellent light transmittance, though it is interspersed with a bit of white cotton. However, the majority of the stone is as transparent and bright as glass!
The moment they saw this information, almost everyone present was completely stunned and fell into a brief silence.
Even Lin Qingya and Bai Lianwan, who knew nothing about it, were shocked and unbelievable when they saw the crystals on the cut surface that looked completely different from the stone skin.
Isn’t this part so beautiful?
The shopkeeper, who had been so leisurely just now, suddenly changed his expression. He felt his legs go weak and tremblingly walked to the stone. He reached out and touched the cut surface, and was stunned. Then, he crawled back to the store.
"Master Su! Come out quickly, something big has happened...something big has happened..."
The shopkeeper ran away, and Ji Chen walked over to the stone, examined it carefully, reached out and touched it, smiled, and said, "It's not bad, a glassy ice jadeite. Although there are some fleshy textures mixed in, it's still quite transparent overall. It's not the best quality, but it's pretty good."
When everyone heard Ji Chen's words, the expressions of shock on their faces were beyond words!
It took a while before I came back to my senses.
"Holy crap! This young man is actually an expert? He got a glass-like ice type from the blinded material?"
"This, this big piece of ice glass, how much does it cost? I'm making a killing, right?"
"I saw someone buy a glass ice type jade before. It was probably one-tenth the size of this one, and the quality seemed to be much worse than this one. It sold for 3 million."
"One-tenth of 3 million? Holy shit, that would be over 30 million, right?"
"Holy crap! 200,000 doubled to 30 million?!"
"Fuck!"
…
Soon, the shopkeeper rushed into the store and walked towards this side with a man in his twenties, dressed in casual clothes and with an elegant temperament.
The man looked at the intimidating shopkeeper with an unhappy expression, "Old Chen, you've been the shopkeeper for so many years, can you be more calm and steady?"
The shopkeeper was so excited that he couldn't speak. He directly pulled the man to the stone, nodded and greeted Ji Chen, then pointed at the stone and said to the man, "Master, you... look!"
When the man heard the shopkeeper's words, he followed the direction of his finger and looked at the stone in front of him. He stared at it for less than two seconds, his eyes widened and his gaze suddenly froze. He reached out and touched the cut surface, his expression suddenly changed, and he was shocked.
"Holy crap! This, glass ice type... and it's... of the highest quality!"
