Chapter 5 Jade Bidding (This chapter is free)

Compared with the type of jade, Chen Ran actually paid more attention to the carving.

This is also a matter of course, after all, Chen Ran makes a living by carving jade, and before this, he had never seen this kind of high-end jade with his own eyes. As for Uncle Liang's shop, all of them were low-end or middle-end jade.

The jade carving is a smiling old birthday star with white hair and a childlike face. The birthday star has a long smile with a cracked mouth. The materials are very particular and the craftsmanship is more delicate and exquisite.

From this piece of jade, Chen Ran saw a lot of experience in jade carving, and applied the skills according to their aptitude, making it a seamless one.

In fact, after Chen Ran saw this jade, he was a little reluctant to sell it, but now he was in need of money, so he could only sell it. With this plan in mind, he used tools to measure the birthday of the old birthday star. Size and size, and then used his fake mobile phone to take a makeshift photo of the old birthday star, and finally turned on his broken computer and uploaded it to the Internet.

As a carver, a computer is also an indispensable tool for him, but he didn't spend much on this computer, it was almost a half-sold half-gift to him by one of his roommates.

Skillfully opened Huayu, Jade House and other websites or forums related to jade, uploaded photos, wrote information, indicated resale, only for transactions in Zhongdu, and finally left his phone number.

After doing all this, Chen Ran felt his stomach was empty. There were too many things that happened all day, and he didn't feel hungry until now.

After getting this jade article, Chen Ran didn't treat himself badly. He only had two yuan in his pocket after eating, but he received a phone call on the way to eat.The call was from Baoyu Pavilion, asking about a couple pendant in his hand.

The Baoyu Pavilion was transferred to someone else. It opened two days ago, and the business was naturally transferred. I just don't know if Chen Ran will be hired as a carver in the future.However, one thing is obvious, even if he is hired, he will definitely not be treated so well again.

On the way back, Chen Ran received a total of four more calls, all of which were for the old birthday star. Two days, three days later, he will come to Zhongdu, Chen Ran naturally can't agree.

Walking to the door, Chen Ran saw the notice on the wall, and it really was about to be demolished.

One by one, Chen Ran opened the websites and forums where the photos were uploaded, and Chen Ran found that there was not much response. However, when he opened the Jade House, he found that the post was actually pinned to the top of the home page, and there were already more than 50 replies.

Chen Ran looked at it, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. Most of them were just watching the fun, or making judgmental comments. There were only one or two bids, but only two or three thousand, which was too far from his psychological price. Far!

In his opinion, the price of this piece of jade should be around [-], or at least [-] or more.

Thinking of Baoyuge's phone call, Chen Ran turned on the computer and began to conceive and design.There are five processes in jade carving, material selection, design, rough carving, fine carving, and polishing.Chen Ran already has the material, so naturally he doesn't need to choose again, so it's time to design.

Uncle Liang has gone, and now this sculpture is the last confession for Uncle Liang. Chen Ran's conception is very serious, and he puts his whole body into it.

The design is to design the carving theme according to the color, color, texture and shape of the jade material. To choose a theme that suits the characteristics of the jade material, the jade material must be used to the maximum extent, and the jade material should not be wasted. ;Use good color to make it produce the best effect.

The two pieces of raw stone in Chen Ran's hands are both Nanyang jade, that is, Dushan jade. Dushan jade is divided into many types according to different colors, but these two pieces of Chen Ran's are both white and white. Mountain jade, creamy white jade, but not pure, one piece is mixed with a red color, and the other is a yellow color.

After some dedicated design, Chen Ran had the best carving shapes for these two pieces of Dushan jade in his heart.

The red piece is carved as Houyi shooting the sun, and the yellow piece is carved as Chang'e flying to the moon. The two pieces together form a heart.

It has to be said that this kind of carving is quite difficult for the current Chen Ran.

Just as Chen Ran was about to proceed to the next step, the phone rang suddenly.

"Hello, hello!" Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Chen Ran guessed the purpose of the other party's visit.

"Brother, hello!" A hearty voice came from the other end of the phone: "I want your old birthday piece! Please make a price, and don't give it to that fellow Colorful Magic Jade."

Chen Ran was a little confused, but immediately thought that it might be the name on the forum. He didn't talk nonsense, and while sitting in front of the computer, he said: "Please ask for a price. If the price is right, I will let you for you."

In the field of antiques, the word "buy and sell" is generally not used, which seems tacky, and it is always used to "transfer" or "transfer".When Chen Ran was talking, he had already opened the forum, and he was a little surprised by the scene that caught his eye.

Unexpectedly, in just such a short period of time, the post has already exploded, and a colorful word "fire" was added after the title of the post, and there have been more than 100 replies.

After a cursory look, Chen Ran found out that there were two people bidding for the auction, one of which was the Seven-Colored Magic Jade, and the other was the Great General. At this moment, only these two people were bidding in the whole post, and the others only replied with two words: Crowd.

"Are you the general?" Chen Ran asked without waiting for a reply from the other end of the phone.

The other party smiled heartily: "Haha, you are looking at the forum, and the bid has reached [-] now. Since you are watching, then you can watch a play." After finishing speaking, he hung up.

Eighteen thousand!

This price has exceeded Chen Ran's psychological price, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath, while the mouse kept refreshing the page.

At this moment, the two of them are still increasing the price, the seven-color magic jade is adding two hundred at a time, while the general is adding five hundred at a time.

Refresh again, but see:

Floor 168: "18800." This is the account number of Colorful Magic Jade.

Floor 169: "19300." This is the account number of the general.

Floor 170: Awesome!

Floor 171: "19500."

Floor 172: "20000."

Not only the other onlookers were stunned, but even Chen Ran himself was stunned. However, the price increase of the two people still did not stop, and it rose to [-] like a rocket!

However, this was not enough. In less than 5 minutes, the price continued to rise again, and soon reached [-], and the recovery speed of the colorful magic jade also slowed down. It seemed to be thinking... At this time , the phone rang again, and it was still the general calling.

"Brother, your old birthday star is worth almost this price, but this idiot, Colorful Magic Jade, is still raising the price. Don't answer when he calls you later. I will raise the price for you. Don't worry, this The idiot needs this urgently, and he will definitely buy it." After finishing speaking, Chen Ran hung up the phone again without waiting for an answer.

In fact, the price of Chen Ran's old birthday piece is almost [-].Chen Ran's estimate of [-] is not wrong, but he estimated the value based on the original stone material of the old birthday star, but did not add the carving fee.

The more high-end jade, the higher the carving fee.Generally speaking, for high-end jade wares, the carving fee is higher than the original stone material of the jade wares, and Chen Ran's birthday cake is already considered high-end jade wares.

Don't think that the value of hundreds of thousands, millions, or millions is high-end goods. They are things on TV. Hundreds of thousands are better, while millions and millions are regarded as family heirlooms. The treasure or the treasure of the town store, in reality, tens of thousands of jade pendants are already high-end goods.

Chen Ran was a little puzzled, but then he realized that Qicai Huanyu and the general should know each other in reality, and even had a bit of a holiday, so he was naturally happy to do so.Sure enough, shortly after the general hung up the phone, another strange call came, but Chen Ran naturally didn't answer it.

And on the forum, the bidding price has also risen to 4, but the reply speed of the Colorful Magic Jade is getting slower and slower.When the price rose to [-], the general didn't increase the price, and the two stopped.

The phone rang again, and Chen Ran pressed the answer button. The other party was a female voice, and without much nonsense, she directly said the agreed time and place. The time was at [-] o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the place was at the gate of the Antique City.

After hanging up the phone, the general called again: "At first I wanted to increase the price, but think about how shameless this guy is, even if it is agreed, he may not give you the price even if we meet in person. Be careful, he is very vicious, but this time, he probably won't play tricks."

Chen Ran was a little funny, the other party was a woman after all, the general said something shameless and closed the other.

"Well, I'm still worried. You agreed to meet somewhere. I'll be with you tomorrow. If I'm here, you won't be afraid of his repudiating the bill!" The general seemed very worried.

Chen Ran thought that it would undoubtedly be in his best interest if both of them were present, so he told him the agreed time and place.

Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief when the matter was resolved.

4 RMB!

For Chen Ran, it is obvious that this is a very large sum of money. With his current state, he may not be able to earn it in three years, but with the 4 yuan, he can do it. For many things, at least some favors can be returned, and it can greatly relieve the pressure at home.

Although Chen Ran really wanted to fall asleep and try to see if he could have another dream like this, what happened this day made him sleepless, so he straightened his mind and continued to carve jade, even if he could have many jades tomorrow. money, but now he is still just a poor boy who can't pay the rent or even the next meal.

Perhaps it was because of Uncle Liang who took good care of him, or because he had hope in life, or because he had more insights after observing the old birthday star. Chen Ran carved with extra seriousness and concentration... He had a feeling that Whether it is jade carving or the whole life, he has entered a brand new field that he has never imagined...
