Jianbao life

Chapter 20

Chu Chen was surprised when he came to see that such a woolen material would have jade in it, which is really surprising, and what’s more, his ability can really be used to identify jade, how can we not make him happy? And excited, so happy that he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

After stabilizing his emotions, Chu Chen secretly observed Li Guodong again. Fortunately, he was still concentrating on picking wool, so he probably didn't notice himself. It's really hard to explain to him.

Then, he carefully observed the rough stone in his hand again. This stone was a little larger than the fists of two adults, and its gray body was no different from ordinary stones. Patterns, pine flowers and the like.

Chu Chen shook his head secretly. As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance. This sentence is also applicable to gambling stone wool. Most people would think that this kind of brick material will produce emeralds.

Then, he immediately activated the ability, ready to experience whether the psionic power in the emerald was different from the psionic power in the antique.After the psionic energy in the wool was absorbed by the left hand, several differences were discovered.

First of all, in terms of time, the time for the spiritual energy in the emerald to be absorbed should be exactly one second, which is different from the time law in the antiques that Chu Chen obtained before. He guessed that it is very likely that the time of the emerald is fixed. .

Another thing is the performance of spiritual power. The spiritual power in jadeite seems to be more detailed than that in antiques. Chu Chen thought about it, and it can be described as dense. Maybe the quality of spiritual power in jadeite is better than that in antiques. .

This is actually somewhat similar to the spiritual energy absorbed from Yu Ruyi before. The spiritual energy in Yu Ruyi is soft and delicate. At first, Chu Chen thought it was a mistake, but now it seems that it should be a treasure formed by nature. Phenomena unique to this, and the quality of such psychic powers should be better.

As for the strength of the psychic power, it is the same as the previous calculation, which represents the high value. The power of this piece of jade is similar to the three-fruit pattern bowl I saw in Uncle Wu before, and the value should be between [-] and [-]. look.

Feeling the aftertaste of psychic energy, Chu Chen felt as if he had drunk honey. He quickly squatted down and began to rummage through the pile of wool, thinking, since such a piece of emerald can be found here, maybe there is still Maybe.

I don't know if it was because of his good luck today, but after only a few minutes, he actually felt a psionic reaction on a piece of wool. He couldn't wait to use the supernatural ability again, but the result of using it made his face suddenly pale. solidified.

At this time, Chu Chen's mood was like a crow flying by in front of his head. As high as his expectations were, his disappointment would be as great. The spiritual energy in this piece of wool was actually worse than what he had absorbed from the copper coins at the beginning. Is extremely disappointed.But after being disappointed, he immediately woke up again.

Thinking about being dazzled by the benefits just now, finding a piece of valuable emerald in this pile of waste is already a blessing, and I should not have imagined such good luck, not to mention the disappointment in the result, It also wasted a chance to use the ability.

In fact, although betting on stones to produce jade depends on luck, most of them produce jadeite wool, which will have some characteristics on its body, such as the brick material in Chu Chen's hand that has no characteristics at all, and can produce high value. Emerald's chances can almost be said to be slim.

Abilities are limited every day. Although wool that performs poorly can make a lot of money, the chance of getting high-priced jadeite is too slim. Instead of wasting time like this, it is better to use abilities on wool that performs well. Make the most of your powers.

If every time the ability is used like just now, it is better to use it on antiques, the chance of catching the leak is much greater.

After reflecting on his behavior just now, Chu Chen randomly picked out a few pieces of wool and put them in the cart beside him, and then said to Li Guodong, "Brother Li, how is the selection? Did you receive any goods?"

Li Guodong pointed to the woolen material next to his feet and said, "I feel a little bit about these few pieces, and the others are really nothing to look at. Forget it, just take these, and it would be a waste of time to pick any more."

Zhang Guosheng's store has two stone-dissolving machines, both of which are placed in the backyard. After the two paid the bill, they came to the backyard together with wool to prepare for stone-removal.

There is a pergola on the east and west sides of the yard, and two stone disintegrators are placed inside.Because a batch of goods has just been imported, the two calculus machines are running. A middle-aged man in his 40s and a young man in his 30s are wearing glasses, and they are working on the two calculus machines respectively. Cutting wool.

There are also several people around the stone-breaking machine, Zhang Guosheng and three other people are in the east and west, and there are two people on the west side. At this time, they are all nervously watching the results on the stone-breaking machine, with serious expressions on their faces.

"It's green!"

Suddenly, there was a cheer from the rock-dissolving machine in the west, and the two people watching danced, hugged and hugged, looking ecstatically surprised.

Of the four people watching from east to west, only one of them glanced at the opposite side enviously, and then stared at the stone dissolving machine. The other three rushed over when they heard the sound, and Zhang Guosheng was the one who took the lead. He also asked loudly:

"What kind of water? What kind of water?"

Seeing this, Chu Chen and Li Guodong immediately surrounded him.

I saw that the rough stone, which was about the size of a volleyball, was washed with water. On the cut surface of the rough stone, a touch of green could be vaguely seen inside. The owner of the rough stone hit it with a strong flashlight, and the greenness instantly filled stand up.

Seeing this, the owner of the original stone trembled a little in his hands, and said in a voice that was somewhat hoarse due to excitement:

"Glass species!"

After speaking, the man covered his face with his hands and choked up, while his companion kept comforting him.

Glass jadeite, as the name suggests, is as transparent as glass, with very fine quality and dense crystal particles, which is the best among jadeites.This kind of jadeite usually has glass luster, its texture is fine and pure and flawless, and its color is pure, bright, rich and uniform emerald green.

Under normal circumstances, all kinds of glass come from old pits, so it is often called "old pit glass" in the industry.

Chu Chen asked Zhang Guosheng what happened to the owner of the original stone, and Zhang Guosheng, who was next to him, explained the reason for him.

This man's surname is Liu, and he is also an old stone gambler, but he used to bet on stones at another emerald store "Juyuan Pavilion" in Antique Street. The stone is very common.Gambling big means that it is easier to get rich overnight or go bankrupt.

This Mr. Liu belongs to the latter. He used to have a small company, and his wife and children are hot at home.However, a few years ago, after hearing about the stone gambling business, I jumped into it regardless of whether I had learned it or not, thinking that I could make a lot of money with luck.

The result is conceivable, although there are wins and losses, but less wins, more losses, and finally bankrupt, wife and children ran away with others.In this way, he still didn't give up, but he had no money, so he had no choice but to come to Zhang Guosheng to gamble on stones.

After hearing Mr. Liu's deeds, Chu Chen thought, it's no wonder that some people often say that in the stone gambling business, "the madman buys, the madman sells, and the madman is waiting", and this is really the case.

After Mr. Liu stabilized his mind, an old gentleman in the crowd stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Liu, do you want to sell this jadeite? I will offer 60 yuan."

This old gentleman, Chu Chen, also knew him. He was the owner of "Qianji Jewelry Co., Ltd.", a jewelry store in Antique Street.

Seeing this, Chu Chen asked Zhang Guosheng who was next to him strangely: "I said, Brother Zhang, why don't you bid for it? This piece of glass jadeite should not be very big depending on the size of the material. You shouldn't be able to eat it." Bar?"

Zhang Guosheng smiled and said: "Xiao Chen, you just don't understand. It would be a lie to say that I am not attracted to this kind of high-grade jadeite, but good jadeite needs to be carved by a good master. I just don't have one. It will cost a lot of money to take it down and ask someone to carve it, and if I participate in the bidding, the price will definitely go up, which is really uneconomical.”

Chu Chen snorted a little when he heard this, Zhang Guosheng is a bit petty, if it was him, as long as he didn’t lose money, he would definitely do everything possible to buy this piece of jadeite, and when the store had glass jadeite, his popularity would definitely increase, so Taking this as an opportunity, and adding some mid-range jade, the taste of the whole store will be improved.

You know, in the jadeite industry, only high-grade jadeites can make big money. Don’t you see that the jadeites have risen in recent years, only the top-grade jadeites have risen the most, the middle-grade jadeites have followed, and the low-end jadeites have basically risen very little.Since doing business, it is always based on making money, and if you have the opportunity, you will not work hard.

Of course, Chu Chen was just thinking about these words in his own heart, and Zhang Guosheng was not someone like him, so he would not tell him such thoughts.

Mr. Liu, the owner of the emerald, has already made up his mind. After hearing Qian Yiyou's quotation, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Thank you Mr. Qian for your kindness, but I still want to cut some more."

Qian Yiyou nodded after hearing this, and didn't say anything. Although he may pay more money when he cuts it out, his risk will be gone. After all, this is a business worth tens of millions, so we should be more cautious. good.

Mr. Liu discussed with his friends about cutting the noodles, and then asked Master Jieshi for his opinion. Then he drew a line on the rough stone and asked Master Jieshi to cut it.

Amidst the mechanical sound of "sizzling", everyone present was waiting for the result of this cutting with solemn expressions. At this time, Chu Chen noticed that the stone dissolving machine in the east had stopped, and the original stone owner was feeling sad. He stared at the cut surface of the rough stone in his hand, and if nothing else, he should have lost the bet.
