Si Mingyu doesn’t have any jadeite raw stones in his hands. Of course, he certainly can’t fool people. He doesn’t have it in his hands, but the company does.
How to reasonably solve the problem of funding sources is a problem. The previous methods are no longer applicable. At the dinner table, I learned that Mu Yunxuan's family is in the jade business, so I came up with this idea on the spur of the moment.
He took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and secretly called Jiang Xueyi to tell her his idea. Soon he received a reply, saying that it was feasible and the raw stone could be delivered the next day.
Gambling on stones is a gamble for ordinary people, but for those with clairvoyant abilities, it's like picking up money. The company's warehouse has several pre-selected rough stones. After all, no one knows when they might be used.
Of course, this can't be done all the time. The people in the production area are not easy to deal with. If you are a wild psychic, don't expect to get rich quickly by relying on this. If you show any signs of being unreliable, you will be scammed. Only those with the support of the country or an organization can get a few pieces.
Again, there are too few people with supernatural powers. There are only a few people in a country with the ability of clairvoyance. Going there once or twice is fine, but if you go there too many times, will they still not recognize you? Do they really think they are fools?
There are many articles and videos about stone cutting on the Internet. This is the first time to see stone cutting with his own eyes. Naturally, Si Mingyu took Zhang Ningxi with him, as it was also a chance for him to accompany his girlfriend to see something new.
The so-called factory is actually located in a building, converted from an office. Jade isn't a large artifact, so processing raw stones and carving them doesn't require a large space. In fact, security is the primary requirement for the factory. Finished jadeite bracelets and pendants of sufficient quality are not large, but they're not cheap.
"Mr. Si, this is Master Huang. He is the old master in our store." Mu Yunxuan introduced.
"Sorry to trouble you, Master Huang." Si Mingyu handed over a piece of raw stone.
This stone is not much bigger than a palm, and Si Mingyu brought it over like this. Zhang Ningxi looked at it for a while in the car. As an outsider, she naturally couldn't see anything.
"It's not a problem. It's my duty. It's my duty." Master Huang is nearly sixty years old, but his eyesight is not blurry and his hands don't shake. He is also a well-known figure in the industry.
He first took out a small flashlight and began to examine the materials.
The quality of jadeite cutting directly affects the value of the finished jadeite. Therefore, in order to minimize the risk, the condition of the jadeite rough stone must be carefully assessed, which is called material inspection.
Master Huang has been working with stones for so many years that he knows how to cut them as soon as he gets them.
"Mr. Si, I will do it then."
"You can do whatever you want, don't worry. This stone has been there for years, and it will be less of a problem once it's cut," said Si Mingyu.
The next step is to slice the stone.
After observing the basic situation of the jadeite clearly, you should start cutting the first knife. If you choose well, you can see the texture of the jadeite raw stone clearly, so there is a saying that "one knife makes you poor, one knife makes you rich, and one knife makes you covered with sackcloth."
Master Huang chose the most conservative cutting method, cutting little by little, or slicing slowly.
Although they were not gambling on stones, everyone present was watching intently. It was at least equivalent to opening a blind box. Even if they knew that the things inside were worthless, the moment they opened the box was very exciting.
"It's out!" Tang Changfeng, who had the best eyesight, exclaimed.
Master Huang also immediately stopped what he was doing.
"Master Huang, what is this material?" Guo Jun asked curiously.
"It could be top-grade glass-type imperial jadeite, Mr. Si. This rough stone is worth at least 10 million yuan if it is sold now. If it continues to be cut, it will be worthless if it collapses." Master Huang explained.
"Master Huang, please continue. If it collapses, it collapses. It doesn't matter." Si Mingyu looked calm and composed.
Upon hearing this, Master Huang immediately had his apprentice push the camera over and point it directly at the raw stone. There was originally surveillance here, but this was still necessary. As long as it was someone else's material, sufficient evidence had to be left to prevent any potential disputes.
As Master Huang took the pieces, the stone was peeled off layer by layer, revealing more and more green, and everyone's expressions became more and more exaggerated.
Finally, the original stone was revealed.
"Master Huang, how much is this worth?"
The second generation present couldn't understand it, but it didn't stop them from using the simplest method to measure the quality of the material.
"It all depends on how you choose in the end." After all, the things carved out after the piece is taken away also greatly affect its value.
"What if we do it based on the most valuable one?" This is what Si Mingyu asked.
"Based on my initial thinking, we can make three bracelets and three pendants. Or a pair of bracelets, a plaque, and two pendants. We can also make a few other smaller items. I estimate it will be no less than 400 million yuan."
Although Master Huang is very professional, the specific steps still need to be studied slowly. This is just an estimate.
"How many?"
"Fuck, four hundred million?"
Even though the second-generation people present knew the saying "gold has a price but jade is priceless", they couldn't help but exclaim after hearing it with their own ears.
After calming down, everyone in their hearts gave Si Mingyu a huge "admiration". You know, after the green part came out, the stone would be worth 10 million, but he didn't hesitate and just let him continue cutting. This is how the jade was finally worth 400 million. If he had been afraid of cutting it too much and selling it, the money would have gone to someone else.
When the results came out, Mu Yunxuan pulled Zhou Fang aside and asked him to take charge of the subsequent processing no matter what.
At this point, it won't be a big problem who picks up the piece for processing. But for the Mu family, who are in the jade business, if the finished product comes from their own hands, they will definitely publicize it and use this opportunity to increase their popularity.
If Si Mingyu could agree to lend the finished products to the Mu family, then he could use these treasures as a gimmick and hold an exhibition with some of his own fine products. That would be a profitable business.
After hearing what Mu Yunxuan said, Zhou Fang hurried over and repeated his request with a smile on his face.
"Since it was Master Huang who opened the original stone, the subsequent matters can be handled by one person only. I'm sorry to trouble Master Huang." Si Mingyu agreed to Zhou Fang's request without thinking.
"Thank you, Mr. Si!" Mu Yunxuan was overjoyed.
After Master Huang carefully studied it again, the final plan was the same as the one given before.
"Do you like the bracelet or the jade pendant?" Si Mingyu asked Zhang Ningxi.
"Bracelet." Zhang Ningxi herself likes ancient style. The jade bracelet looks good on her white wrist. If this jade pendant is too big, it will be a hindrance when she wears it.
"Then I want the bracelet."
The final products are three bracelets, three pendants, two pairs of earrings, and three ring faces. The other scraps can be used to make several necklaces and bracelets.
Si Mingyu took out a bracelet and a pendant and entrusted the Mu family to sell them. He also lent them a few other pieces for exhibition. For this, Mu Yunxuan's father hurried over to express his gratitude.
