Luo Yunhang knew that to cooperate with someone like Yan Rong, you had to show some real ability to keep the situation in check, otherwise Yan Rong wouldn't take you seriously.
Miao Cuihua secretly tugged at his sleeve: "Are you absolutely sure?"
Miao Cuihua knew that Luo Yunhang was a thoughtful person who wouldn't speak without reason, and that his eagerness to facilitate the cooperation meant he must have something big planned.
She felt she couldn't miss this opportunity and had to invest something. A mine only cost tens of millions, which wasn't too much, and she could afford it.
Luo Yunhang couldn't very well tell her that, given the condition of that mine, once it was mined, the profits would be hundreds or even thousands of times greater, much faster than she made money selling jade.
He could only nod slightly.
Miao Cuihua had a plan in mind, so she just had to follow along.
"I wonder if Mr. Yanrong knows that there is a profession in China called Jade Appraiser?" Luo Yunhang asked calmly.
"Of course I know that. Myanmar also has this kind of profession. They can not only appraise jade, but also assess its veins. I have a very skilled vein assessor by my side. He helped me inspect all my jade mines, and he never failed." Yan Rong said with a hint of pride.
People in this industry always have some resources of their own.
"Coincidentally, I also have some skills in appraising jade and veins, so I concluded that the abandoned vein could yield good jadeite." Luo Yunhang was obviously making this up; he didn't know anything about veins, he just saw it with his own eyes.
This is an even more impressive skill than pulse diagnosis.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at him in surprise.
You? A mere kid, you know how to read pulses? Don't be ridiculous.
Miao Cuihua smiled awkwardly and nodded, forcing a nod in agreement with Luo Yunhang's words.
She only knew that Luo Yunhang could appraise jade, that was true. As for appraising bloodlines, she really didn't know. Could this kid be bluffing?
However, we'll see what they're made of once we put them to the test.
Verifying pulse patterns is difficult, as it requires a significant investment of time and money.
The jade is indeed easy to verify. Yan Rong has plenty of raw stones at home, so he can just take out a few to verify them. It's very simple.
"In that case, I just brought back a few stones from the mining area a few days ago. Could you please take a look at them?" Yan Rong suggested.
Luo Yunhang knew that he wanted to test his abilities.
"Then I'll make a fool of myself." Xiang Yu and Luo Yunhang weren't afraid at all.
“I happen to have a jade appraiser in my household. Would you mind having him come out and compete with me?” Yan Rong increased the difficulty again.
"no problem!"
Even the most skilled jade appraiser would question the meaning of life if he encountered him.
Having made the agreement, the group moved to the open garden.
The servants quickly set up tables, chairs, and benches, moved six stones to one side, and even brought over a stone-cutting machine.
Luo Yunhang also met Yan Rong's jade appraiser.
He was a gaunt old man, well past fifty.
"There are six stones here. You have half an hour to make your judgments. Whoever makes the most accurate judgment wins the competition."
The winner of the competition can choose any one of these six stones.
"If you win, we'll add another prize, and our cooperation will be in effect!" This last sentence was naturally addressed to Luo Yunhang.
"It's a deal." After saying that, Luo Yunhang walked straight forward to take a look.
The gaunt old man didn't speak, but walked to the other side to look.
Six stones in half an hour would be a tight schedule for an ordinary jade appraiser, but for Luo Yunhang, it was a piece of cake.
But he still had to put on an act, so he picked up the magnifying glass and flashlight prepared by the servant next to him and began to examine it carefully.
To be honest, he's really good at judging stones now. Even without X-ray vision, he can tell pretty much what's going on.
The first piece is clearly from the old Houjiang area.
The jade skin is grayish-green, the pieces are small, the texture is fine, and there is a waxy coating.
Jadeite from Lao Houjiang is generally full of vibrant green, highly translucent, and has a compact structure.
Sure enough, Luo Yunhang glanced inside and saw a piece of icy apple-green jadeite, about the size of a fist, not bad.
The second piece is made of Mogang material.
The quality of the jadeite from Mogang is very high, with many varieties being full-green and high-quality jadeite. The jadeite has good water content, few cracks, few impurities, and relatively thick skin.
This piece was indeed thick-skinned, but it didn't disappoint; inside was a piece of icy, bright green jadeite.
Good material, no wonder Yanrong took it home.
The third piece of material was slightly larger and was clearly made of rough, dark brown material.
It seems Yan Rong came prepared. He said he just picked up some random material, but it was actually carefully prepared.
Ma Meng is famous for its dry green color. It has many cracks, but the color is very pure. The pieces are relatively large, making them suitable for making large ornaments and hand-held pieces.
This piece of material is quite large, with some cracks on the surface, but fortunately not much has been cut into it.
This piece of jade is quite interesting, with its white and green colors. If designed properly, it would be perfect for making a jade cabbage ornament.
The fourth piece is a piece of purple jade, icy violet in color, which should be a good item brought back from Zibi.
The fifth piece was also a piece of rough material, about the size of two fists, with many cracks on the surface.
Looking inside again, I was startled.
What a pity! Such a fine material, the green color is almost like imperial green, and the texture and water content are above high ice level. It's just a shame that most of it was eaten up by cracks.
We can't produce any large items anymore, just small jade Guanyin statues or some beads.
At least I can make some money.
Shaking his head, Luo Yunhang walked towards the last stone.
The old man had already walked toward his penultimate stone.
Luo Yunhang was slightly faster.
The last stone comes from Da Ma Kan, an area known for its high-value red jadeite.
This rough stone is very small, estimated to weigh only a few kilograms, and its surface is yellowish-red.
This stone has a lot of fog, but the appearance inside is still amazing. It's a high-quality, icy red jadeite with a bright red color.
Not bad. No wonder he's a man with eighteen mines; he's got some skills.
After reading it, Luo Yunhang thought to himself, "What do I have to say?"
The old man wasn't finished yet. While waiting, Luo Yunhang wrote down his judgments on a piece of paper. He wrote down details for each stone, which would serve as the basis for his final evaluation.
After the old man finished, the butler began to systematically arrange for the workers to cut the stone.
It's lunchtime.
Yan Rong invited them to have a meal at the restaurant first, and by the time they finished eating, the stone would have been mostly unraveled.
During the meal, Nai Nai Win was finally allowed to come out again. In wealthy Burmese families, meals are served individually, with each person having a small table, and servants bringing the food to each person's table.
Nai Nai Wen sat in a small corner at the back, secretly winking at Luo Yunhang. Her mother noticed and sternly gestured for her to be more ladylike. Only then did she stick out her tongue and try to act ladylike again.
Miao Cuihua and Luo Yunhang both laughed.
