Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 273 Bloodstone

Wu Wenbo, who followed Cheng He, also nodded to the others present. Only now did he understand Cheng He a little bit.

He didn't pay much attention to the Internet, and didn't know what Cheng He was doing when he sold the meteorite last time. He thought he was just like him, wanting to sell money to get rich.

Sometimes people really are different.

Wu Wenbo is a man who looks very forthright, and he also respects Cheng He.

In his opinion, as broad-minded as a person is, he will have as much wealth as possible.A person who ignores such a valuable meteorite will only achieve greater achievements than that.

Some people look at people based on their current achievements, for example, do you have a house now?How much is it worth now?Do you have a car?How much is the monthly income?Is the job stable?
But some see it the other way.

After a brief chatter, Cheng He took out the big rock from the trunk of the car, and asked Lao Xia's friends to take a look at it first.

It is not a very remarkable thing to take out a stone of sixty or seventy catties from the trunk by one person, but it is impressive to see Cheng He's relaxed look.

This person doesn't look very big and strong, but he has a lot of strength!

Odd people!

Several people remained calm, but they already had a good understanding of Cheng He.

Although there are deceptions in the Wanshi world, it is not an exaggeration to say that "it will not open for three years, and it will last for three years after opening", but it also scores people.

For example, they had a good relationship with Lao Xia, so they would not deceive his friends, especially as Lao Xia had solemnly declared earlier that he was someone he respected.

Besides, Lao Xia can be regarded as half an insider, so he can't be fooled even if he wants to!

Losing a friend for a stone is not what some people do.

As soon as Cheng He took out the stone, the three experts were naturally attracted, squatted down, and watched carefully.

The outside of the stone is not very good, and the content cannot be seen, but they will not underestimate it.After all, someone else drove here on a special trip, so it wasn't a joke.

The surface of the stone is yellow and old, showing its age, but the contents inside cannot be seen from the surface.

But as an expert, you can see the clues from some clues.

The three bosses touched it for a while based on experience, watched it for a long time, and then became interested.

"Let's take a gamble? Do you want it?"

The three of them joked to themselves.

The purpose of Cheng He's trip is naturally to find a jade processing factory first, and first dig out some of the surface of the stone to expose its valuables, so that he can know the price.

At this time, the stone has not been cut open, and they don't know what's inside, but the three bosses got excited there by themselves, wanting to get addicted to gambling with stones.

Cheng He didn't make a sound either, and wanted to see what they had to say.

Although the final price must be approved by himself, it seems quite interesting to make a small gamble with stones beforehand and estimate the value.

Anyway, he himself doesn't know what's inside.

One of the three bosses, the thin boss Li touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "I think it looks like a yellow jadeite inside. I offer 300 million yuan. It should be worth the money."

If it was really Huang Feicui, and because of its size, he offered this price.

300?
Wu Wenbo who came with him was stunned.

Such an ordinary stone, can it be worth 300 million?Is this guy going to punch eyes?

He didn't have a deep study of appraising treasures, and he knew a little bit of jargon such as "punching an eye" and "picking up leaks".

He was deeply attracted by the first person's offer.

Although the stone did not belong to him, his heart beat faster at this moment, and he quickly looked at the other two bosses who hadn't bid yet.

This trip is really worthwhile!

In this kind of Hualin Temple, which can be said to be sparsely populated, a few of them casually gathered on the side of the road, talking casually about millions of dollars in business.

He felt a little mysterious, a little nervous and breathless.

In addition, the second boss squatted down again and looked at the big rock carefully again.

He pondered for a while and said, "Old Li, I have a different opinion from yours. I think it's worth at least 500 million."

As for the different views, what he thinks is inside, he didn't say.

300 million, an increase of 200 million in an instant.

Wu Wenbo watched with excitement, feeling incredible.

Looking at Cheng He again, his expression didn't fluctuate. It seemed that the three million and five million they said were as calm as three or five yuan.

Such concentration!
He expressed his deep admiration.

Sure enough, he was the one who traded meteorites once!
He didn't know when he would be able to practice such a calm aura.

The second person also gave the price, but the third person remained silent for a long time, thinking for himself.

Lao Xia waited for a while, then urged him with a smile: "Old Huang, what do you think?"

Old Huang was hesitant to speak, but stopped, without making a sound, squatted down again, and checked the stone repeatedly.

After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head slightly: "I think it's more than that, maybe it's not yellow emerald. You see, the color here is brown, but if you go inside, it might turn red..."

As for turning red, whether it is more or less, and what kind of shape and texture it is, no one knows.

It is precisely because of these ignorance that the charm of gambling on stones is created.

It's a pity that they don't have golden fingers of perspective, and they can't see through the essence at a glance, so they can't say an accurate value in one go.

Lao Huang didn't offer an offer in the end, he only said a price of more than 500 million.As for the upper limit, he couldn't estimate it.

The price of jade is not valuable because of its composition content, but only by its color and texture.

It was just a joke for the three of them to gamble on stones, and it was impossible for Cheng He to make a deal immediately just because they casually mentioned a price of 300 million or 500 million.

He smiled and said, "I'd better find a place first and cut everything out of the stone."

Lao Li, who was the first to make an offer, said, "Where else are you looking for? On this street, any store has a stone cutter. Come to our house, it's there, and you won't be charged."

As he spoke, he pointed to a shop, which was very close.

The rest of the people didn't argue with him, and said one after another: "Go or go, then you have to take care of the tea."

Lao Li didn't even pick up the words, so what's the point of taking care of the tea?
Cheng He carried the stone into the store, and Lao Li called the workers to do something, cut the stone first, and work carefully.

Then, I greeted a few people to drink tea in a room behind the store.

No one was worried that the workers would steal or change the stones, so they replaced the stones.The store has been here for so many years, and the management is still no problem.

Otherwise, the jade he usually cuts, the gold inlaid jade he made, etc., wouldn't he have to guard against being stolen every day?

Cheng He followed Lao Xia and the others to a room in the back hall.

Like the previous shop, there is no decoration here, that is, it looks airtight and rain-proof, but the various decorations inside are worth a fortune!

After all, the jade boss, all kinds of exquisite jade carvings are placed here and there, ranging from nearly one meter high to small pieces, dozens of pieces are scattered everywhere.

A set of mahogany root-carved tea table, seven or eight finely carved mahogany chairs, these are just the usual utensils for entertaining guests.

This set of tea sets is not the kind that costs thousands of dollars on a certain treasure. There are very fine carvings on it, which shows that it came from the hands of famous masters.The boss who sells jade will not use fakes, this is not the kind of counterfeit, crude craftsmanship.

After several people sat down, Boss Li took out a bag of tea leaves from a mahogany cabinet, brewed Gongfu tea, and showed off his tea skills to everyone.

The bosses here are all about the same, they all have tea-stained teeth, yellow and black.They usually use Gongfu tea for entertainment.

Lao Xia saw Cheng He's serious face and carefully sized up the jade wares here, so he said with a smile, "Xiao Cheng, don't be fooled by them. These bosses are actually not good people. When they see a good customer, they take it away. You can cheat with bad things. Only when you meet those who really know the goods and can afford the money, will you bring them in to watch."

Because he was familiar with these bosses and Cheng He, he said these words directly and aboveboard.

As for Lao Xia's remarks, the three jade owners didn't refute, they weren't even angry, they just laughed for a while.

While making tea, Lao Li said, "Why are you cheating or not? Isn't this just doing business. If the price is clearly marked and the old and the young don't cheat, how can this business be so hyped?"

A piece of decoration can be tens of thousands of yuan, and a bracelet can be hundreds of thousands of yuan. Are those things really valuable?
It is not suitable for eating or drinking. If it is not hype and gouging up, how can the price be so high?
Things that are really worth eating and drinking are not so valuable.

Gold has a price but jade is priceless. It can be seen that these things are all subjective.People think that this thing is valuable, so it is valuable.

Cheng He was very surprised. He didn't expect that the owners of these jade shops thought so.He feels a little detached.

In fact, the essence of the matter has been seen through, and it really is like that.

People will use "Jade is not renewable, it will only become less and less, so it is very cherished" and other rhetoric, to further exaggerate the price of jade.

But what is the essence?Those are just stones too, only prettier.

This idea is indeed detached.

Just picked up the cup and tasted a cup of Lao Li's collection, but heard the sound of "lying on the grass, lying on the grass" outside.

There are only a few workers processing jade and some shop assistants outside, and the voice is theirs.

Needless to say, the people in the room had already put down their glasses and walked out.

If it hadn't been for finding something good, people outside wouldn't be screaming so much.

When I came out, Boss Huang, who was walking in the front, stood still first, froze, and murmured, "So this is a chicken blood stone! It's such a big piece..."

The two bosses who followed were also stunned for a while, and were amazed at the big rock that had just been cut.

It was a perfect bloodstone.The blood color is bright and the area is huge, glowing with luster.

After the cutting master cut off the inconspicuous yellow-brown surface layer on the surface, the inside was perfectly displayed.

It was only roughly cut, and without any carving, the bright red chicken blood inside had already formed a natural pattern.

Misty rain map of mountains and rivers.

The three jade wares bosses can all be regarded as half-jade wares carvers, with certain aesthetics, now, the words "A picture of misty rain in mountains and rivers" jumped into the minds of all of them at the same time.

The areas and lines formed by those red parts are so perfect that they are almost impeccable.As long as the sculptor performs a small amount of carving along the lines, it is an exquisite treasure.

There is such a perfect natural bloodstone pattern!
The stone weighs sixty to seventy catties, is more than half a meter high, and has irregular shapes.The design is exquisite so far, and coupled with the size of the stone, this bloodstone is estimated to sell for a sky-high price!
