Chapter 694: A slight move to reveal the best blue jade
Chapter 694: A slight move to reveal the best blue jade
Chen Yang had predicted the depth of the first cut, so that it just grazed the jade flesh without cutting into it.
You have to know that the jade flesh below is only one or two centimeters thick, and if you cut into the jade flesh, the filling may be exposed.
Opening a window is a technical job. If it is done well, the price of a piece of material can be doubled, even if the actual value of the material is not high. If it is not done well, the value of a piece of material will be greatly reduced, even if the material is truly of high value.

Chen Yang's technique was very steady, just like that of an experienced stone cutter. Amidst the intense and piercing noise, he quickly cut to the bottom with one knife. A palm-sized skylight appeared on the surface of the original stone, just cutting off the palm-sized piece of pine flower.
Boom!
Click!
A palm-sized piece of raw stone that was cut off first fell onto the stone-cutting table of the stone-cutting machine, bounced a bit, and then fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces.
Everyone's attention was focused on the large piece of jade on the stone-cutting table. It was fixed with work equipment so it did not roll down.
Under the light, a ray of light was seen shining on the smooth, palm-sized surface, like mercury pouring on the ground, reflecting on Chen Yang's face, rendering Chen Yang's pretty face blue, as deep as the sea.
"Oh my god, it's blue jadeite, blue water jadeite. It's worthy of being the old pit material of Baibi Factory, the legendary concentration of blue water jadeite. As expected, blue water jadeite was extracted."
"It's just that this blue is so pure. I've never seen such pure blue water jade. It reminds me of the sea."
"This has to be a high-ice variety, pure blue. This time, my brother's bets have gone up, and up again. Green smoke is coming out of his ancestral graves, and his good luck has exploded. It's impossible not to accept it!"
"This guy is awesome, so awesome!"
……
The crowd was boiling like a pot of boiling water, with shouts and screams rising one after another.
It was obviously Chen Yang's material, but the crowd was more excited than Chen Yang.
"Oh my god, my little man, how can you be so awesome? I love you so much."
Yun Jinxiu was so excited that her face turned red. She first gave Chen Yang a warm hug, then gave him a deep kiss for half a minute, showing off her love for him.
"Hey, the one in front, make way. I've never seen anything like blue water jadeite before. Let me open my eyes."
"Red jade and green emerald, this blue jade is rare. I think it can be sold for a good price."
……
The crowd was not only crowded but also a little chaotic, with people barely able to contain their excitement, simply because blue water jadeite is rare, and top-quality blue water jadeite that is as deep as the sea is even rarer.
The organizers had to call a few security soldiers to maintain order, and one security soldier even fired a shot into the sky to calm the restless crowd.
The security guards at this auction venue are not ordinary security guards, but soldiers under General Anlong, all of whom are equipped with guns. If someone doesn't listen to advice, they will really shoot you.
"Oh my god, this transparency and color are really amazing. Mr. Chen, come and take a look. This is the first time I have seen such exquisite blue water jadeite."
Zhou Jinfu was originally standing at the front, and he was the first to rush to the stone-cutting machine after the crowd settled down. He stared at the window on the raw stone again and again, and was shocked, excited, and amazed.
All he saw was the blue color of the window, as deep as the sea, and as transparent as glass, which made people dizzy.
This is quite possibly the finest piece of blue water jadeite.
"Okay, let me take a look."
Zhou Jinfu made way and gambling stone consultant Chen Huaian came over, put on reading glasses, picked up a magnifying glass, and held a high-intensity flashlight in his other hand.
It didn't matter that the old man saw it, he was stunned for a moment, and his face became extremely solemn.
"Mr. Chen, could this be the legendary glass-type premium blue?" Zhou Jinfu asked Chen Huaian weakly.
As a jade jeweler, he is also very knowledgeable about jade. After taking a look at the jade in the window, he already has a general idea in his mind.
This was a piece of top-quality blue jadeite that he had rarely seen in his life, and its quality was almost as good as glass jade.
"The blue color is very pure, a rare sea blue, but it's still a little short of the glass type, but slightly stronger than the high ice type." Chen Huaian suddenly came back to his senses and muttered.
"That is... sub-glass type?" Zhou Jinfu said in surprise.
As we all know, the blue color of jade is very rare, and most of what can be seen on the market are light blue and light blue. Deep blue like sea blue is extremely rare, even rarer than imperial green.
It is slightly inferior to high ice type, but it is not glass type. This kind of jade is called sub-glass type, which is also the best among high-end jadeite.
The conversation between Zhou Jinfu and Chen Huaian spread out, and the jade in the window was qualitatively evaluated as sub-glass-type top-grade blue. This kind of jade can be called the best among high-grade jade, and the top grade among top-grade jade.
Yang Hongsheng, Yang Bufan and Lin Shirong all looked extremely ugly.
They had looked at this material before and felt that the price of 3.8 million was too high, the risk was too high, and it was not worth buying.
They never expected that the material they were not optimistic about could be turned into top-grade jadeite by Chen Yang with just a little effort.
Is it a question of ability? Or a question of character? Or something else?
"I told you, there's something wrong with this kid. He can bet on the increase in value of any piece of material he picks. He must have some superpowers, or some cheating methods, to be able to predict whether there is jade in the raw stone. I suggest that the organizer arrest him, slice him up for research, and conduct a thorough investigation to find out what's going on behind the scenes." Yang Bufan shouted with red eyes, full of envy and jealousy, and he began to suspect Chen Yang again.
"Shut up! If you are not as skilled as others, then you are not as skilled as others. Don't embarrass yourself here." Yang Hongsheng said while panting.
Having gambled on gemstones for decades, he really didn't believe that anyone could cheat or predict the future.
Whether it is X-ray, MRI, or other high-tech equipment, they are not effective on jadeite raw stones, and cannot detect whether there is jadeite inside. Because jadeite is essentially a stone.
Looking at the azure blue at the window, the whole audience was in an uproar again!
"Well, I told you that this young man has great luck and will definitely get green with one cut. Sure enough, he got green. And the cut was just right, not too deep or too shallow, just the right amount of green. It shows that although this young man is not very old, he is definitely a master at gambling on stones."
"What do you mean by green? I'm going to play blue, okay?"
"Is there any difference between green and blue? They are both jadeite. People are betting on it going up this time. In this window alone, the material bought for 3.8 million yuan is sold for 10 million yuan and there are still people scrambling to buy it."
"More than 10 million, that's a conservative estimate. This is sub-glass grade, top-quality blue jadeite!"
……
Sure enough, amid the discussion among the crowd, someone asked Chen Yang:
"Little brother, do you want to sell this material?"
The person asking the question was none other than Zhou Jinfu, the second largest jeweler in Jiangnan Province who had been determined to get the violet jadeite.
This person looked at Chen Yang with a smile on his face, swallowing saliva continuously, and was obviously very optimistic about this sub-glass type blue water jadeite.
His gambling stone consultant Chen Huaian was holding a flashlight and carefully appreciating the material.
Yun Jinxiu was about to speak up and keep the material, but was interrupted by Chen Yang, who said, "Sell it. As long as the price is right, I will definitely sell it."
Yun Jinxiu frowned, obviously having different ideas from Chen Yang. She didn't want to sell the jadeite, but wanted to keep it for herself after extracting it. After all, she was a jeweler, and the top-grade jadeite was a rare commodity. Wasn't it natural for her to keep all the profits for herself?
At this time, Chen Yang sent her a telepathic message: "My right eyelid keeps twitching. I have a bad feeling. I am not sure about this material. Let's leave the risk to others."
As soon as he said this, Yun Jinxiu was relieved immediately. There might be something wrong with the material.
However, when Chen Yang said that his right eyelid was twitching, Yun Jinxiu felt speechless.
Based on her understanding of Chen Yang, the brat must be up to something bad.
"Then I'll give you 10 million, and you can sell it to me as semi-gambling material, how about that? This way you can make money and leave the risk to others." Zhou Jinfu said seriously.
"Boss Zhou, you want to buy the sub-glass type of top-grade blue water jadeite for 10 million. Isn't that a bit stingy? I'll offer you 15 million, even if I fail. Young man, please sell it to me." Another jeweler shouted. He was very optimistic about this material because blue water jadeite has been rare in recent years and its price has been hot.
Jade does not have a specific price, and it is valuable because it is rare. If you meet a rich woman who prefers blue water jade, it is not impossible to sell a bracelet at the same high price as emerald.
In this way, a pair of bracelets can pay for itself, or even make a lot of money. So the gambling potential is still very high.
The azure blue window on the material gives people a lot of room for imagination, and it feels like more than one pair of bracelets can be made.
"I'll give you 20 million."
"I'll give you 25 million."
……
Then people kept shouting out prices, and the price kept rising like a rocket.
Yang Hongsheng hesitated several times, obviously wanting to bid, but he didn't. After all, he just lost 1 billion to Chen Yang, and it was a bit embarrassing.
However, this piece of blue water jade is really attractive and as eye-catching as an emerald.
At first, the price was raised by 5 million, as if the money was not money. When it reached 30 million, the bidding speed slowed down significantly, and it became 2 million to 3 million. When it reached 40 million, it became 1 million to 1 million. During the process, bosses kept quitting the bidding.
In fact, when the price is called out at 30 million, the risk is already very high. You can clearly see that the jeweler's face becomes cautious and careful, his mind races, and he makes a careful weighing of the pros and cons.
After all, only green appears through the window. It is impossible to judge how much green has penetrated into the glass, how much jade is inside, and the quality of the jade.
If it is like the material Yang Hongsheng just used, with only a little green in the window and the green has not really penetrated in, it would be a big loss.
Therefore, there is a saying in the gambling stone business: an increase by rubbing does not count as an increase, only an increase by cutting counts as an increase.
Chen Yang's opening of a window can only be regarded as a slight increase.
Unfortunately, even the most skilled stone gambling masters cannot make a judgment. However, the appearance of green in the window is always a good thing, which greatly increases the possibility of the material increasing in value.
This is why raw material merchants will open a window for raw materials, because as long as the window turns green, the price will increase exponentially.
"I'll offer fifty million. Dear bosses, I hope you can give me, Chow Chin-fu, some face and stop arguing with me. My price is like jumping off a building. If I'm not careful, I'll fall to my death."
Zhou Jinfu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shouted out an astonishing price.
He made a great determination to call out this price, wanting to take a gamble.
As the saying goes, if you try hard, a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.
If Chen Yang can dig out five or six pieces of sub-glass-type top-quality blue water jadeite from this piece of material, he can almost make back his investment, and the rest will be all profit.
If the material is "full green" like the one Chen Yang got just now, the profit will not even exceed a small target, and he will make a fortune.
In short, gambling on stones is all about gambling. Eyesight is important, luck is important, and courage is equally important.
As the saying goes, the bolder the people, the more productive the land will be.
Sure enough, once Zhou Jinfu called out the price, the other jewelers all stopped bidding. Giving him face was only one reason, but the risk of 50 million was too great.
For some small and medium-sized jewelers, if they collapse, it would be an unbearable burden and they might even go bankrupt.
"How about this, Brother Chen? I'll give you 50 million. Please sell this material to me. It's impossible for anyone to offer a higher price than me. Frankly speaking, my heart was pounding when I called out this price. I feel like if things go wrong, I'll lose a lot of money." Zhou Jinfu said to Chen Yang, and he looked really nervous.
At this time, his gambling stone consultant Chen Huaian was still studying the material through the window, but after studying it over and over again, he could not figure it out. He could only say that there was a possibility that the value of this material would increase, even if he bought it for 50 million.
"Damn it, fifty million! I've been selling raw stones for most of my life, but I haven't made that much money. It's a huge loss, a huge loss!" The stall owner had a bitter look on his face.
He also wanted to make a window in this material, but he didn't dare to do so. He lost tens of millions in vain and was very upset.
And the piece of poop rough stone I gave to Chen Yang for free, but it turned out to be a high-grade ice violet, which was a loss of at least one small goal. The two rough stones together lost one or two small goals.
I can only comfort myself with one sentence: if it is destined to be yours, it will come to you eventually; if it is not destined to be yours, don’t force it!
Swish swish!
Everyone's eyes turned to Chen Yang, with envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes.
Everyone thought that Chen Yang would happily sell the raw stone and then find a corner to secretly count the money.
As a result, he pinched his chin, looked at his rough stone that produced blue jadeite, and said after a few seconds of hesitation: "Fifty million is still a bit low, right? Boss Zhou is not sincere!"
As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone in the audience changed. They despised him so much that they wanted to drown him with their spit.
This piece of material was purchased for only 3.8 million, but Boss Zhou offered 50 million, which is a price increase of more than ten or twenty times. Do you think that the offer is too low?
It's really unpopular!
