Baolu Tianxing

After Da Ya and the others settled the matter, they had to go to the industrial and commercial and other places to go through some formalities. Wu Chen settled the matter and had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he asked Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaohua to take him to the market below.

There are several bazaars at the foot of Yuyan Mountain. Wu Chen has been there once, and it is still a spontaneous market in the village. He bought a few stones from Goudan, but he has never been to a really big bazaar!

The three of them drove two motorcycles, chug out of the village, and drove all the way to the center of the town.The old Zhangtou led the way, Zhang Xiaohua insisted on sitting in the car driven by Wu Chen, and as soon as he got in the car, he "bravely" leaned against Wu Chen's back, hugging tightly, a pair of well-developed and flexible Xiaobai The rabbit squeezed Wu Chen's back, making him very uncomfortable. He hadn't driven a motorcycle for a long time, and this time it was even more wobbly and stopped...

The bazaar they came to was relatively large, and it was planned by the local government at first glance. At a glance, it was a neat cross-shaped passage separated by various stalls.

The purpose of their trip was very clear. As soon as they entered the market, they went straight to several large-scale chicken-blood stone stalls. Lao Zhang introduced as he walked, "Hehe, the chicken-blood stone at this stall is the largest mine in Yuyan Mountain." Lord, their food is the best..."

There are two types of people who mine in Yuyan Mountain.One is like Mr. Wang or the future Zhongfu Jewelry. Most of the stones mined are for their own use, but more of them are sold directly. In addition to having a special VIP area in the mine to receive big customers , also has its own stores in various markets, like the one they are visiting now.

This store occupies a large area. Two rooms are connected, and it takes more than 200 square meters. It is divided into two sides. There are many people on the shelf; on the other side are some small materials, the big ones are only the size of a watermelon, and the small ones are the size of a fist. They are placed in wooden cabinets and glass shelves, neatly arranged in order of size.

It can be seen that this family has a good reputation and is very popular. When they arrived, there were a lot of people inside, and there were no less than 20 people who were picking wool among them, including individual tourists and jade merchants.

Wu Chen didn't expect to meet acquaintances here. As soon as they came in, several people came over and greeted him with smiles on their faces. Unfortunately, he didn't recognize any of them. I witnessed his demeanor when I was in Yangmei, but I didn't expect to meet him here. It seems that this circle is a bit narrow.

Although it is not in the same circle as jadeite, bloodstone is expensive as the "post-printer". The seals made are naturally the things that antique shops compete for, but it is not the only way to print. Large pieces of bloodstone are often made into ornaments. And its market value is much higher than the value of the seal.

For example, a good chicken blood stone ornament, if it is auctioned, is worth more than [-] million yuan, but if it is broken down and made into a seal, how can it be auctioned for this price?The total value is estimated to be in the tens of millions, but it has shrunk a lot.

Wu Chen also thought this was very strange, but after thinking about it, it made some sense. One thing is that rare things are more expensive. After all, large pieces of raw materials are rare, and once they are decomposed, their value will naturally shrink. A ten-carat diamond is cut into ten one-carat diamonds, and the total value will definitely shrink; secondly, the seal is a plaything of literati after all, and it is more elegant, but the audience is not wide, so I don’t want to be like an ornament. , The local tyrants who dig coal in Shanxi can put it on the stage to show off!

Because of this, large chicken-blood stone ornaments are also expensive works of art, occupying a very important position in jewelry and jade. As the capital of chicken-blood stone, there are naturally many jewelers hovering here in Yuyan Mountain, especially in the Jiangnan area and The owner of the jewelry company in the north.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Wu Chen didn't expect to meet his "admirer" here, but he didn't know him well, so he had to say haha, exchange a few words, and back and forth, but it was a lot of delay Time, made him a little impatient, but it's not easy to hit someone's hot face.

"Boss Wu, there was a stone king on the Yuyan Mountain a while ago, it is said that it sold for more than 2 million yuan, could it be you again?" A guy with a bit of a mischievous face, the news spread yesterday, Most people were jealous and guessed who it was, but no one thought it was Wu Chen. Seeing him like this today, it was easy to fall for him. After all, this guy's performance in Yangmei was too rebellious. Oh my god, I can't even make people dissatisfied!

"Uh cough! Here, let's take a look at the goods first!" Wu Chen obviously hoped to end this gossip topic as soon as possible, and looked around, "The material here is still good, everyone, or let's break up first ?”

"Oh, okay... Please, please, don't bother you to look at the goods!" Several bosses came to their senses and said hurriedly, even using their honorific names, which shows that Wu Chen has initially established a reputation in this industry !

Wu Chen cupped his hands. He was afraid that Zhang Tou and Zhang Xiaohua would be bored, so he turned around and said, "Why don't you just walk around first, and you don't have to follow me. We'll find another place to have a round later."

"Yeah." Old Zhangtou nodded, left the new boss behind, turned around and went out to hang out with relatives and friends. He was promoted today, and he was a little happy in his heart. The family is reliable to chat with the younger generation, catch the young men, and form a "spectator team", which is a "political mission".

Zhang Xiaohua refused to leave, and said with a blushing face that she wanted to stay and help Wu Chen. In fact, she liked to see the confident look in Wu Chen's eyes when he was observing and selecting stone materials.

It's okay, Wu Chen was noncommittal, and looked at it from this side.

This side is full of aniseed materials. According to the name of the original jadeite, many of them are "full gambling materials". On the stone skin, there are many spots, but there are few or no blood.

There are few big materials in bloodstone, mainly because cinnabar is often concentrated when it is ore-forming, forming a bloody color. It is impossible for stones of hundreds of kilograms to be full of red. Therefore, there are relatively few large pieces of bloodstone.Once the large materials placed here are untied, even if there is bleeding inside, it is often just a little bit, and most of the corners are waste.So don't look at his size, but compared to those little red guys on the other side, his worth is much inferior.

"Boss Wu, right? He has good eyesight. This is a good piece of material!"

Just as Wu Chen stood beside a rather large piece of chicken blood stone, he was immediately followed by the shopkeeper. He leaned over and said with a smile, he is also a smart person, otherwise he would not be able to be the shopkeeper of this store, and he has the kung fu of observing words and demeanor. It's not bad, he saw so many people's flattery towards Wu Chen, so he naturally knew that he was not comparable to ordinary individual customers, so he dismissed the other shop assistants and came up to accompany him.

The good material he mentioned is an unconventional large material. The reason why it is unconventional is that ordinary rough stones always take the shape of "round", even if one end is large and the other end is small, the whole looks round and smooth. But this piece is a rectangular parallelepiped. It looks a bit like the granite "strips" used to build houses in the south. It is more than two meters long, and the width and height are between fifty and sixty centimeters. Thick, should be more than half a ton.

Attracted by its strange shape, Wu Chen took a closer look. It should be a semi-finished product. Some places are purely the skin of the original stone, which is black and slippery, while some places have new chisel marks on it, making the stone surface look very rough. Irregular, uneven.If it weren't for the blood oozing from a few places on it, I really wouldn't be able to tell that it was a bloodstone, but a stone bench made by an ordinary stone factory.

"What's going on here, how did it happen?" Wu Chen saw that the shopkeeper had been watching his face, so he didn't use his powers, but just stroked the stone with his hand, feeling the cold The feeling is transmitted through the surface that is sometimes delicate and sometimes rough.

The chicken blood on the surface of the stone is not big, and it spreads out into petals. I can't tell whether it is floating on the surface or seeping into the bottom of the stone. From the surface, it should be a good material. You can bet on it. one time.

If it was a jade bet, the current Wu Chen might be able to tell one, two, three, but he is very unfamiliar with chicken blood stone. Chi refused to leave, and looked at Wu Chen with a silly smile, hoping to observe something from his face.

Nima, how can I "see" the material? Wu Chen felt a little annoyed, so he raised his head, looked at the owner with a half-smile and said, "Is there anything else?"

"No..." The shopkeeper obviously didn't expect to offend the little boss, and he looked unhappy.

"Well, if you have nothing to do, go ahead and do your work. You don't need to call me. I'll go shopping by myself. If I need to call you again?" Wu Chen said with a smile. The end of the song rose, and it sounded like he was asking, but the meaning was already obvious. .

Although the shop owner was a little embarrassed, but Wu Chen was not the first customer like this. Some people like to observe the stone slowly by themselves. At this time, they really feel uncomfortable being surrounded by people, so they responded politely. Okay, take a moment and I won't bother you.He turned around and walked away to greet other guests.

After Wu Chen waited for him to leave, he saw Zhang Xiaohua looking at him like an idiot, he shouted in his heart, after thinking about it, he sent her out to sell two cups of milk tea, and then he calmed down , stroking the strange piece of material with his hand, his eyes penetrated into it.

Passing through the slightly black-gray stone skin, Wu Chen quickly penetrated into it. The texture is good, and it looks like the ground is frozen.

Suddenly, a white luster appeared before the eyes. Different from the paleness of ordinary granite crystals, this kind of light white looks slightly transparent, giving people a moist feeling, but it is not as white as white jade. oil!
