Chapter 258 Depressed stone
Now that Qin Feng has decided to continue, Master Jie Shi will no longer persuade him. After all, the customer is the most important.
The grinder started moving again, and not long after, the crowd of people watching around them exclaimed again:
"...It's gone up, it's gone up again!"
"You're so lucky, right? The effect of this knife is the same as the previous one, which means the jade material is evenly distributed."
"Tsk, tsk, this piece is not small, the price can be at least doubled!"
"People may not be willing to sell it for more money. Such good materials are becoming increasingly rare nowadays. If you just put it back and keep it for a few years, it will definitely increase in price!"
"..."
The stone-cutting master stared blankly at the cut surface. He didn't know what to say for a moment. The two seemingly random lines made by the young man were just right. He cut them next to the edge of the red jadeite. He has been engaged in this industry for decades.
, such coincidences are really rare.
Overjoyed, Yu Xinglan squeezed over and washed away the remaining stone chips with clean water. The rich and bright red color almost dazzled everyone's eyes.
"Beauty, can you sell it for nine million?" A fat middle-aged man came over and asked expectantly.
"You can pull it down! I want such a big piece of top-grade red jade for ten million!" an old man said immediately.
"Twelve million, I will pay you twelve million! Don't fight with me." Another fashionable woman wearing sunglasses increased her price.
Everyone who came around made offers one after another. It was not easy to see the red jadeite of high ice species, so naturally you would not let it go easily if you encountered it. If you miss this time, you don’t know how long you will have to wait in the future.
"I'm sorry, everyone, this jade is not for sale, it is for our own use."
Yu Xinglan simply rejected everyone's offers.
Several consultants from the Jade Group looked at it carefully and nodded. This is Gao Bing's red jade. Judging from its size, it would not be difficult for a senior jade carving master to process ten pairs of bracelets. The rest
Some of them can also be made into many pendants, earrings, rings, etc. The total value is conservatively estimated to be no less than 20 million.
"Qin Feng, I really belong to you."
Yu Xinglan smiled with crooked eyebrows. Being able to bring Qin Feng here to help was probably the wisest decision she had ever made.
"This lucky bastard..."
The girl next to Li Zhongning secretly hated her, but it was hard to say anything in public. From beginning to end, Qin Feng didn't even look at her seriously.
"There are still three pieces of wool, let's cut them all and take a look." Qin Fengyun said calmly.
"OK."
Yu Xinglan nodded hastily and asked Master Jie Shi to continue working.
As each piece of wool is placed, Qin Feng will draw one or more lines on it, and then let Master Jieshi cut it according to the instructions.
Two of the three pieces of wool are relatively small, about the same size as a basketball, and the last piece weighs more than 200 kilograms. They are all the kind of wool that looks very poor, but contains genuine wool. More importantly, the price is very cheap.
.
There were some good-quality but expensive woolen materials in the hall. Qin Feng gave up after just looking at them, feeling that they were not worth it.
It didn't take long, and all three pieces of wool were untied. Two of them were dry green and sun green, which were mid-range jadeite. They would probably be worth several million after being processed into jewelry. The last big piece, after cutting it, was a piece of jadeite.
The huge ice-type blue water jadeite is more than twice the size of the previous piece of top-quality red jadeite.
The onlookers no longer know how to describe their feelings. Based on the market conditions in 2025, the total value of these pieces of information will be no less than 80 million at least. If it is a public auction, hundreds of millions.
The price is not an exaggeration. Think about the current situation of the old mines in Myanmar. There are fewer and fewer high-quality jadeite wool. The long-term trend of this thing is always upward.
"I'll transfer the money to you when I get back. Sister keeps her word."
Yu Xinglan looked at him with a look that was nothing but admiration. In fact, she had handled businesses with larger amounts than this, but being able to get two pieces of high-quality jade at such a low cost had been a good thing in the family for many years.
Never encountered it before.
For the vast majority of people, things like picking up leaks are something that is impossible to come by.
"You can pass it on to Sister Lan, it's the same thing."
Qin Feng's expression remained unchanged. In the dimensional space of the starship, not to mention the piles of wool of the same level, it would not be a problem to just take out a hundred and eighty yuan. There are many better than this, so he wouldn't
I will keep this small amount of money in mind.
"Sister Lan? Which sister Lan?"
Yu Xinglan blinked her beautiful eyes and asked with a smile. This beauty also has the word "lan" in her name, and she is one year older than Qin Feng. It is appropriate to call her sister.
"Of course it's my wife, it can't be someone else, right?"
Faced with her teasing, Qin Feng remained unmoved at all.
"actually……"
Yu Xinglan rolled her eyes at him charmingly and said no more.
"...Why is this guy so lucky? Is there some secret operation?"
The girl was already cursing in her heart, and Li Zhongning's eyes were also full of disbelief. Winning a piece of wool in a bet can be attributed to good luck, but four consecutive pieces of wool contained good things. This was terrible.
The so-called secret operation is of course impossible. Everyone knows the rules of stone gambling. Moreover, these are all gambling materials with extremely poor appearance. No one can know what is inside until they are fully opened.
This Qin Feng... is indeed a bit extraordinary.
Li Zhongning thought for a while and said: "As expected, there are two brushes. I also have four pieces of wool here. Why don't we untie them together and take a look."
Qin Feng nodded obediently and said nothing.
On the other hand, Yu Xinglan was a little curious: "The four and a half yuan of woolen fabrics you paid for them look very good. You must have spent a lot of money on them, right?"
"It's just average, close to 30 million."
Li Zhongning said that he hoped to sell top-quality glass jadeite, so he bought woolen materials of quite good quality, so the price could not be much cheaper.
The stone-cutting master put the first piece of wool the size of a human head on top. The two old men next to Mr. Li came over, fumbled and observed it for a while, and carefully drew three lines on it with a charcoal pencil. Then one of them decided to do the stone-cutting by himself.
As the grinder rotated rapidly, among the scattered stone chips, the first piece of wool was gradually cut open, revealing its true appearance.
"Green beans? What a pity..."
The people around him shook their heads and sighed in unison. Compared with the millions that Mr. Li paid for this piece of wool, he was indeed at a huge loss.
"It doesn't matter, let's continue to untie the next piece."
Li Zhongning looked as usual, while his sister's face turned dark and she pursed her lips and remained silent.
After the second piece of wool was cut open, it was filled with good ice-green sun green. Although it was only the size of a fist, it still attracted cheers from everyone. The third piece of wool was a rare floating jadeite, which was not small in size and was considered profitable.
Made a fortune.
As for the last piece, it was a complete waste. Except for a thin layer of green on the wiped window, it was all solid stone.
The two old men beside Li Zhongning calculated that the total value of the four pieces of wool was probably a loss of more than two million.
In fact, this result is quite good. Many rich people have lost all their money and went bankrupt because of their addiction to stone gambling. This is how the saying "one sword makes you poor, one sword makes you rich, and one sword pierces sackcloth".
.
But compared with Qin Feng's gains, his performance today was an absolute joke.
“Is imperial green grown in glass so rare?”
Li Zhongning sighed helplessly, looking quite disappointed. This was not the first time he came back to gamble on stones. He spent a lot of money unjustly, but unfortunately he never got what he wanted.
At first, he planned to buy the finished product directly. The problem is that finished jewelry is also extremely rare. Many jewelry and jade dealers have rarely seen a real imperial green glass for more than 20 years.
When he learned that Yu Xinglan once found a pair of glass bracelets at an auction, he didn't talk to her, but the other party said directly, "This is the dowry I prepared for myself, so don't make any plans."
Blocked all his rhetoric.
The family's network of connections was not good at this kind of thing, so the miserable Mr. Li had no choice but to gamble on stones by himself. He spent a lot of money in vain in the past six months, hoping that with good luck he would get what he wanted.
"Qin Feng, the auction is about to start soon, do we want to participate?" Yu Xinglan asked.
"It's okay to go and have a look." He said calmly.
The wool materials to be auctioned were concentrated in one area, closely guarded by many security guards. The quantity did not seem to be much, just over a hundred yuan. However, the quality was very good without exception, and the prices were also very astonishing.
To be honest, it is basically impossible for a buyer to be smarter than a seller. Only the seller knows best about the quality of the goods. Therefore, almost every piece of these high-quality woolen materials that are likely to be green at first sight has an exaggerated price tag.
, and don’t worry that no one is willing to take over.
Yu Xinglan took Qin Feng and sat down in the front row. Young Master Li and his sister were sitting not far away. There were several friends with him, all from the same circle.
Qin Feng stared at the pile of wool and examined it carefully, taking in all the conditions inside. He couldn't help but shake his head slightly. There were hundreds of pieces of wool, about 40% of which were of good quality, but the price was too exaggerated. Even if he finally managed to take the photo,
Once you get it, you can only ensure that you don't lose money if you make ends meet, and the profit is basically negligible.
However, there were still a few pieces of wool that aroused his interest, and he planned to try them out later.
"what do you think?"
Yu Xinglan came over and whispered, a faint fragrance lingering.
“I feel like I don’t have a good goal,”
Qin Feng frowned and said: "With such an outrageous price, you can only earn a labor fee by buying it back. Do you think it is necessary to go to such trouble?"
Yu Xinglan said helplessly: "There is no way, so many branches across the country are waiting for the supply of goods, you can't let the store have no goods to sell, right? Not to mention not making money, sometimes you have to grit your teeth and persist even if you lose money.
of."
After hesitating for a moment, she whispered again: "Originally, we had a very good supply channel, but it was a pity that after only a few transactions, the guy refused to cooperate anymore. It's really annoying."
Qin Feng laughed and said nothing.
After a quarter of an hour, the atmosphere in the venue gradually became serious.
Chapter completed!
