Baojian

Chapter 65 Hematemesis

Rubbing his eyes vigorously, the shopkeeper Zhao trembled with his right hand, and brought the magnifying glass to his eyes with some reluctance.

Looking at it, there was a look of despair in his eyes, that's right... There were seven or eight cracks spreading out from the center of the earring.

Although these cracks are concealed by the greenness of the emerald, if you observe carefully, even people who don't understand jade can see that there is something wrong, let alone someone like Shopkeeper Zhao who has been playing with jade for half his life?
"Crack? Old Zhao, it's impossible, right?"

Shopkeeper Zhao's shout also made Nie Tianbao's face change suddenly, he snatched the magnifying glass from Shopkeeper Zhao's hand, and looked at the other earring.

"Old...Old Zhao, could it be that this...this thing was dropped by someone?"

Naturally, things cooked in the same pot will not favor one over another, not only the pair of earrings, but also the Maitreya Buddha pendant. The ice cracks on it can be seen clearly even without a magnifying glass.

"Boss, this thing is in your hands, I just saw it today..."

Shopkeeper Zhao immediately shirked responsibility, saying that the two objects had only been stored in the safe of the antique shop for more than an hour, and even if he faked it, he would not be so quick.

"No, this thing is what we collected!"

Holding the earrings for a while, shopkeeper Zhao saw the mark he left on the mithril, his face turned ashen, his throat felt sweet, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

But shopkeeper Zhao didn't realize it, and murmured: "Boss, we've been fooled, what that kid brought is a fake!"

In the stone market antiques and jade business, shopkeeper Zhao is also a respectable figure, otherwise he would not have been invited by Nie Tianbao with a high salary.

But after playing with jade all his life, he was humiliated by a young man when he became old. Shopkeeper Zhao's internal organs twitched for a while, and when his body softened, he fell to the ground.

"Hey, Old Zhao, this...when someone didn't punch your eyes, you...don't be so angry."

Ge Jun is a kind man. Seeing the appearance of shopkeeper Zhao, he quickly helped him to the chair, and sighed: "I have heard for a long time that before liberation, someone could turn stone into gold and make high-quality fake jade. I thought it was a legend, but it didn't happen." Think it's true..."

"Old Ge...no, Mr. Ge, this...what is going on here, tell me quickly!"

After hearing Ge Jun's words, Nie Tianbao, who was standing by the side, quickly grabbed Ge Jun's arm and said, "How can jade be fake? This is simply impossible."

"I thought it was impossible before, but now that everything is here, what else is impossible?"

Ge Jun shook his head and said: "Before the liberation, someone invented a recipe, boil the inferior jadeite in water of a certain temperature, and then add some chemical raw materials to wash away the impurities in the jadeite. , making its quality excellent, I just heard rumors, but I didn’t expect this recipe to survive!”

Before liberation, Ge Jun lived with his father in the capital for a period of time, and heard about this rumor, but he seldom got in touch with jadeite, so he forgot about it long ago, and now he saw the real thing with his own eyes, so he recalled it.

"Could it be that young man?"

Looking at the jade in front of him, Ge Jun suddenly had a strange idea in his heart, but he dismissed it immediately. This job is definitely not something that people of that age can do.

"You...you mean this thing is made of worthless jadeite?"

Nie Tianbao stared at Ge Jun with red eyes, as if a fire was burning his internal organs. Could it be that Nie Tianbao couldn't afford to pay the money?

Moreover, once the rumor of buying a fake product with a hole in the eye gets out, he, Nie Tianbao, will definitely be ridiculed for being taken advantage of, no matter whether he is an insider or an outsider. What face will he have in the circle in the future?

"That's right, and it seems that work is in a hurry..."

Ge Jun picked up the Maitreya Buddha pendant and looked at it for a while, then explained: "I heard that this kind of fake jade will not be visible within a year or so, but if it was good a few days ago, It’s changed now, there must be something wrong with the process.”

To say that Ge Jun has some real talent and learning, he can see the essence of the matter almost at a glance, and what he said is not bad at all.

According to the process in the recipe left by Zai Shi, the "emerald" produced can at least last for a long time, whether it is the water or the structure inside, and then it will slowly change color, but it will not crack so badly.

However, Qin Feng used high-temperature cooking at the same time in the two processes of removing impurities and dyeing, which greatly shortened the time, but the damage to the internal structure of jade has also reached the extreme.

Qin Feng himself once estimated that this thing can only last for three to five days at most, which is why he appeared on Hongqi Street for the first time after finishing the "Jade".

"Old Nie, you couldn't be the one who made this thing, right?"

A strange voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, "According to you, this thing is worth 800 million yuan. If you really get it out, it's called fraud!"

There are still some people in the stone market who don’t like Nie Tianbao’s behavior. This person is called Wang Qifu. His family makes gold and silver jewelry. He originally wanted to sell some jade, but Nie Tianbao blocked the supply of goods. As a result, the two People can be regarded as knotted beams.

What Wang Qifu said was a bit sinister, because many people in the venue were preparing to bid for the auction today, and when he said this, the complexions of those people became uneasy.

The first batch of bosses who got rich after the reform and opening up didn't necessarily care about money, but they all cared about face, and they were most afraid of being cheated by others, which would make them appear too foolish.

But Nie Tianbao's current behavior and his previous reputation are not very good, but he is suspected of deceiving them, so even the face of Boss Li of Tianhong Group has become gloomy.

"Boss Nie, you invited us here because you want to take pictures of this worthless broken stone, right?" Seeing Nie Tianbao deflated, Wang Qifu felt very happy.

"You... surnamed Wang, stop spitting blood here!"

Nie Tianbao's face was as red as a pig's liver, and the veins in his hands were exposed. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm really sorry, everyone. The surname Nie has stumbled today. I was deceived by Xiaoxiao, but Nie did not mean to deceive everyone..."

Nie Tianbao's heart was bleeding at the moment, not only did he hate himself for not seeing the scam of "Ma Zibian", he was cheated out of 20 yuan.

Nie Tianbao hated why he didn't check carefully before taking out the emerald to start. If he found a flaw, he wouldn't lose face in front of the top businessmen in Quanshi City.

What makes Nie Tianbao most uncomfortable is that he will become a joke in the jade market in Shishi in the future.

After making such a fool of himself, who would dare to buy jadeite from his shop?Leaving aside the low-end market for the time being, those who are capable of consuming top-grade jadeite in the venue will never spend a penny in "Yu Shi Zhai".

"Okay, brother Nie has known us for not a day or two, so he probably didn't intend to fool everyone, let's forget about it."

The relationship between Boss Li of Tianhong Group and Nie Tianbao is pretty good. Seeing him so embarrassing, he couldn't help but come out to smooth things over. From now on, they will still be in the Shishi business market, and they will see each other without looking up. There is no need to mess up the relationship So stiff.

Changing the topic, Boss Li immediately asked: "Brother Nie, you have been in business for a long time, who can make you fall for this?"

As soon as Boss Li asked this question, the venue suddenly became silent. Everyone knew that Nie Tianbao was as cunning as a ghost, and it was not easy to figure him out.

"Yes... a young man."

Nie Tianbao's heart seemed to be caught, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. After thinking about what happened the day before yesterday, he had to admit that he was like a puppet in this matter, being dragged by strings Pulled into the game a little bit.

"Boss, we... we were all wrong!"

Shopkeeper Zhao, who was slumped on the chair, suddenly smiled wryly, and said: "The young man said he was called Ma Zibian, which sounds like Tongbian. ah!"

"What? Then...that kid is too deceitful!"

Nie Tianbao, who had calmed down a little, seemed to be hit hard by a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
