Urban Peach Fortune Appraiser

Qin Zhouxu put the water basin in front of Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao scooped up some with his hands, splashed it on the stone, and then continued to polish it carefully, "It came out." Lao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Zhou leaned over and took a look. The position of the green on the stone was exactly the same as what he saw. Judging from the part that has been ground now, it is at least not lower than the level of the ice species. If his idea is further confirmed, Qin Zhou Zhouxu really made a lot of money with this one.

Qin Zhouxu suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He didn't expect that he had such supernatural powers. If he keeps doing this, he will become a multi-millionaire sooner or later.

A rare smile appeared on Old Zhao's face. "You're lucky, kid. The emerald planting water is good. It looks like you're making a steady profit, but you don't know how much you can make. How about it? Do you want to continue?"

"What do you think?" Qin Zhouxu smiled and handed Lao Zhao a good cigarette. This cigarette was given to Qin Zhouxu by Liu Yuliang. Qin Zhouxu had never been willing to smoke, and now he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.

Lao Zhao was not too polite. Doing this kind of work consumes energy, but it takes more energy. Often after a few hours, the whole body is exhausted and has to rely on nicotine to stimulate the nerves.

"It's okay to continue to solve it, and it's okay to sell it like this. How much did you pay for it?" Lao Zhao couldn't remember the price, but Qin Zhouxu had already told him, "18."

"40, I don't care if it's lower than that. Of course, it depends on yourself. If you want to continue to solve it, I can help you solve it into clear materials. If you want to stop, take it out now and leave immediately." The old man Zhao slowly spit out a circle under his eyes, he has been in this industry for too long, and he is too familiar with these things.

How could Qin Zhouxu take a mere 40 yuan in his heart? He now carries 200 million yuan with him. I also know that I am a novice, so I can't completely relieve my itch."

Old Zhao spat, "Young people are like this, okay, I'll help you solve it all, but you must remember to add my salary."

Qin Zhouxu laughed loudly, and he patted Old Zhao on the shoulder, "Don't worry, old man, you won't lose a single penny, if there are enough emeralds, you can add more."

Old Zhao didn't say anything anymore. After smoking a cigarette beautifully, he devoted himself to it. Now after driving a part, Old Zhao is familiar with the road. He tried a little bit, and Qin Zhouxu stood not far away and watched.

Qin Zhouxu found that the green color that came out was almost exactly the same as what he had seen before. Several times he saw that there were deviations in Lao Zhao's grinding, and wanted to remind Lao Zhao, but he still held back. Obviously, this will make Lao Zhao suspicious.

Three full hours passed, and finally, the whole piece of jadeite was taken out, a whole piece of large material, green ice jadeite, although not top-notch, but it was top-grade, this thing was taken out, two Ten 18 were also earned back.

Old Zhao was exhausted enough, sitting next to the emerald and panting, he gently stroked this wonderful wonder of nature with his hands, "It's not easy, I haven't seen such a large piece of material for a long time in the past few years, I didn't expect Let your kid hit you."

Qin Zhouxu was happy in his heart, but he was laughing, "Isn't it a bit exaggerated for the old man to say that, and it shouldn't be that good?"

"No? You are such a young boy. You know that the price of jade is rising all the way. If such a piece of material was placed two or ten years ago, it would really be nothing. Now, hehe, you can take it to the market now and share it. It can be shot in minutes, believe it or not?"

Qin Zhouxu knew that what Lao Zhao said was the truth, he smiled slightly, and stopped arguing with him, "By the way, old man, what do you think is better for carving this piece of material? Isn't it a waste to return the bracelet?"

"You really spent a lot of money to carve such a large bracelet made of whole material? I think it is most suitable to take out a statue of Guanyin for this shape." Although Lao Zhao is not a master of carving, he has been playing with jadeite for so many years and his vision is very good. Still a little hotter than the average person.

Qin Zhou nodded secretly, what Old Zhao said was exactly what he thought, "Okay, just do as the old man said, I'll get the things back right away, and find a master craftsman in Tianjing to carve a statue of Guanyin for me .”

"Well, the leftovers are used to make some rings or something, and the value of the whole piece of jade will double by then, 18, hehe, even a fraction is not enough." Old Zhao still felt a little envious in his heart, after all, he was as lucky as Qin Zhouxu, There is bound to be a little bit of jealousy in anyone's heart.

Qin Zhouxu was also bold enough, so he tripled the wages he had promised Lao Zhao at that time, and the little lump in Lao Zhao's heart disappeared immediately, "Young man, I think you are also a happy person. Fortunately, you are not here. Find out in the market, otherwise someone would take your stuff at that time."

"Really? The value of this piece of emerald is not low. It seems that there are a lot of rich people in the southern Xinjiang market?" Qin Zhouxu made a secret estimate. The 200 million I brought with me may not be enough.

Old Zhao rolled his eyes, "What do you think? Don't you know that many big jewelry companies have people here? It's hard to find jadeite raw materials now, and there is no shortage of price for good things. A piece of high-quality material like yours is absolutely There are people who can buy you everything with a one-buy price, and you will be satisfied with the price.”

"Well, then I don't have much room for consideration." Qin Zhouxu owns an antique shop, so how could he transfer such a good business to others.

Old Zhao lit another cigarette. He was so busy these few hours that he didn't even bother to take a few puffs. The smoke was lingering, and Lao Zhao's appearance was faintly visible, adding a bit of mystery.

"Young man, do you know why our southern border is rich in jadeite?" Old Zhao said such a nonsensical sentence, and Qin Zhouxu didn't know how to answer the question.

Qin Zhouxu shook his head, "I don't know. It is said that the southern border has always been rich in emeralds. It's like eating wheat in the north and growing rice in the south. It should have something to do with water and soil."

Old Zhao smiled slightly, "You don't know about this. Although many people think so, things are far from simple."

The cigarette butt lit up and went out. Although Qin Zhouxu had already guessed that this old man was not simple, he had never figured out what kind of person he was. He just took this opportunity to listen to what he had to say.

"Speaking of this jadeite, the ones we see most now should be called jadeite. The so-called green is jadeite, red, yellow and brown are called jadeite, which is also commonly known as jadeite, red jadeite, and yellow jadeite. You must have seen it before." ?”

Danyue has mentioned these things a long time ago, and Qin Zhouxu has a few small pieces of red jadeite carvings in his hand, so of course he can understand, "Well, red jadeite and green jadeite, that's roughly what it means. .”

Old Zhao nodded, these are the consensus of the jadeite world, there is nothing to talk about, "Speaking of this jadeite, people didn't value it at the beginning. In ancient times, people paid more attention to suet white jade. Zhiyu could not be more suitable to describe a peerless beauty."

The price of suet jade is naturally high, and the output is getting less and less. The price of top-grade suet jade is also rising all the way, which is a hot spot in the collection circle. Unlike the situation of jadeite rising all the way in recent years, suet jade has always been It is noble and glamorous, and the price has never fallen.

Qin Zhouxu just listened silently. He secretly compared what Lao Zhao said with what he knew. One of them is Lord Qianlong."

Qianlong loved emeralds very much, which is well known in the collector circle.During the 60 years of Qianlong's reign, jadeware filled the court, and most of the furnishings, offerings and playthings were made of jadeite, which shows the obsession and love for jadeite.

Qianlong built a Ruyi Pavilion specially for himself, collecting exquisite jadeite and jade articles from all over the country, and then hiding them in it.

Nearly half of the emeralds in the Palace Museum were collected by Qianlong. He not only collected them himself, but also ordered officials from all over the country to pay tribute.

In other words, Qianlong can be regarded as a great collector, and he was a high-ranking official in the collection circle, a collector among high-ranking officials. He personally classified, identified, and graded the collected jadeite and other jade articles. He definitely has the demeanor of collecting everyone. .

The emperor appreciated emerald so much, and the common people were of course not far behind. As a result, emerald became worth a hundred times in one go. The rotten stone that can be seen everywhere in the past has become a rarity that is more expensive than gold.

Qin Zhouxu has heard these stories before, and he also knows that Qianlong's "Shiquan Old Man" is not only proud of his literary and martial arts, but also thinks that he is better than his predecessors in so-called heretics such as antiques, calligraphy and painting, at least the predecessors. generation of emperors.

Although Qianlong's own level may not be very high, he is indeed considered an experienced player in the appreciation industry, but he is still the one who contributed the most to pushing jadeite to the peak. This No.1 will be handed over to a woman. superior.

This person was the Empress Dowager Lafayette back then, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had an incomparable love for jadeite.

Cixi not only searched for the best jadeite in the world for her own while she was alive, but also buried these rare treasures with her after her death.

Among the 700 burial objects of Cixi, the most famous one is emerald watermelon. What does emerald watermelon look like and why is it so precious?

Most people mistakenly think that jadeite is green, but this is not the case. In addition to the common shades of green, jadeite also has many colors such as red, yellow, white, black, gray, blue and purple. Each has its own shade, and there are various shades of color on the same piece of jadeite. If it is added with a suitable meaning, it will be extraordinarily precious. Emerald watermelon is just a typical representative of it.

Emerald watermelon has green skin, red flesh, black seeds, and white silk. The red flesh and black seeds are all natural. The uncanny workmanship of nature and the ingenious craftsmanship of skilled craftsmen make it a rare treasure. No wonder it is so Many people are fascinated by it.
