Chapter 27 Hibiscus Seed



Old man Yang looked up at Du Ruo. This girl is quite lucky.

He asked quietly, "Daughter, what do you think?"

Du Ruo's eyes were moving around the field. Not many people were looking at the raw materials, and the prices were rising and falling. Her appetite had been whetted, and she generally didn't want to make a move.

Hearing Old Man Yang ask her, Du Ruo glanced at the top of Old Man Yang's head and said, "I think he's fine."

Old man Yang was overjoyed. He now trusted Du Ruo. Sometimes luck is also a kind of strength.

He raised his hand to signal the boss to come over, and he wanted to talk about the price.

Old Man Yang and the boss argued for a while, and finally, the deal was settled for five thousand yuan.

Yang Ze was also looking at a piece of raw material. When he saw that his father had bought the thing, he gestured to his assistant to carry it to the car.

Their company has a stone-cutting area, which is quiet and not too noticeable.

The hustle and bustle of other people's homes is, after all, other people's homes. The people at the scene gradually calmed down and began to walk around and select raw materials.

Du Ruo squeezed into the crowd and followed the flow of people forward. He found that the horizontal lines above someone's head fluctuated violently. If it was suitable, he would go forward and buy it.

She didn't have much cash with her, so she discussed it with Yang Ze and had Yang Ze pay for her. She then went back to the bank to transfer the money back to Yang Ze's account.

After a round of wandering, Du Ruo bought four stones, some big and some small. Of course, the largest one was not huge.

Yang Ze also picked a few pieces. Sometimes he would ask Du Ruo for her opinion, and sometimes he wouldn't.

Several people bought more than twenty stones in total, none of which were too expensive. They were frightened by Jinbao and kept their hands off the stone.

Yang Ze suggested that all the stones be taken back and cut into pieces, and invited Du Ruo to the Yuan branch to ask their company staff to help cut them into pieces.

Du Ruo thought about it and it was okay, but she couldn't buy the stone just like that. She picked up a few more pieces of rough stone and paid for them all.

Yang Ze drove himself and took Du Ruo and the old man back to the company.

Yuan Group's Linshan branch is located in the central business district of Linshan City. The office building has six floors, and General Manager Yang's office is on the top floor.

Everyone took the elevator to his office. After the guests and hosts sat down, Yang Ze jokingly said, "Ms. Du, if you find a glass type today, you can't take it away. I will put it directly into the warehouse."

Old Man Yang laughed and said, "Are you a bandit? So domineering?"

Du Ruo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll sell the jade directly to you, and I'll just take the carving part."

There is a saying in the jade industry, "No knots, no flowers", which means that perfect jade does not need to be processed.

Only jade with cracks and flaws needs the help of the sculptor's skillful hands to transform decay into something magical.

When they arrived at the studio, the staff had already placed the stones bought by the three people separately.

As guests are welcome, Yang Ze said, "Let's untie Ms. Du's first?"

Du Ruo nodded, it’s the same morning or evening.

Since we are cutting the stone together, we need a good start and a successful outcome.

Du Ruo took a look, then pointed to a rough stone and said, "This is it."

The workers hurriedly arranged the rough stones and placed them under the cutting machine. They asked Du Ruo, "Ms. Du, how do you want to cut it?"

Du Ruo is no novice in these matters. She has cut stones many times herself, and her experience is gained through hard work.

Du Ruo looked at it for a while, then drew a few lines on the stone with a pen. She said, "It should be about the same."

The stone-cutting master smiled and said, "You are an expert. I am afraid your stone-cutting skills are better than mine."

Du Ruo knew that he was being modest. How could anyone who could be a stone cutter in the Yuan Group be incompetent?

She smiled and said, "Since you think it's okay, let's cut it this way."

Old Man Yang said, "My daughter, you are amazing. I know that you are not very involved in this industry.

But you work in a jade processing factory, so you must have seen a lot of things. Just relying on this, you can develop such a skill. Is this a gift from heaven?"

Du Ruozhen smiled and said, "My feelings are sometimes really accurate."

No wonder, she has always been a failure in the gambling stone field, and it’s all tears if I talk too much.

The raw stone chosen by Du Ruo performed very well. The dark green pine flowers were evenly distributed, the python pattern was clearly visible, and the dark green color was very deep. The only flaw was that the surface was loose and not tight.

Generally, those who gamble on jade believe that even if there is jade in such a situation, the quality will not be very good, and at most it will be bean-type or oily green type.

So the price of this stone is not high.

The stone-cutting master cut along the line drawn by Du Ruo. When the skylight opened, a light green mist came out.

Yang Ze lightly exclaimed, "Is this going to turn green? Is it white mist?"

The appearance of white mist often indicates that the jade is old, and people who gamble on stones also like to bet on white mist that looks like garlic skin.

Old Man Yang said happily: "This is going to be a big rise!"

Du Ruo smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words." But she knew in her heart that this stone would not produce top-grade jadeite.

Sure enough, when the white mist was cut away, a layer of light green was revealed. This green was very clear and pure, giving a feeling of early spring.

The texture is much finer than the bean type, between the old pit type and the fine bean type. The color is very fresh and elegant, and it can really set off one's temperament when worn on the body.

Mr. Yang walked over and looked at it for a long time and said, "It should be a hibiscus seed. It's very good. It will increase greatly!"

It is indeed a big increase. When Du Ruo bought this raw stone, it was only 3,000 yuan. This large piece of hibiscus jade is worth at least 300,000 to 500,000 yuan.

If it were in the hands of Yuan Group, it would create at least five million in value.

Therefore, it is easy to imagine how much importance jewelry companies attach to gambling stones and rough materials.

And sometimes it is not just a matter of money. After the top-quality jadeite is opened, it becomes the treasure of the jewelry company and people will never sell it to their peers.

If you produce few top-quality jadeite, your competitiveness will be weak. No matter how capable you are, if you don’t have something to show for it, you will not be able to compete with others.

The stone cutter had already completely cut out the jade, and everyone came forward and gathered around it.

Old Man Yang said, "Although it's just a hibiscus seed, it has good moisture content, not dry at all, and has good transparency. What's rare is that it's quite large. Can it be made into several pairs of bracelets?"

Yang Ze nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, this is mine!"

Du Ruo was amused by him and said, "Here you go, shall we continue?"

The staff came forward and carefully moved the jade away, placed it on a display stand covered with gold velvet, and put another piece of rough material on the stone cutting machine.

Du Ruo gestured to cut it in one third.

The master adjusted the angle, turned on the machine and started cutting.
