Chapter 26, Best Jade

Several clerks helped lift the big stone onto the cutting machine, and the calculating master started cutting it. This is what the jargon calls "calculating stone". Calculating stone is a meticulous job. One solution is to "open the window", which means to cut a small piece of wool raw stone. If a good-quality jade is exposed inside, it is called "cutting up". You can transfer it at a higher price or continue to calcify it; another solution is to untie the jadeite raw stone and reveal the real situation of the jadeite. This is to bet at the end, you can directly sell it at the price, or make it into a finished jadeite product for sale. Of course, if there is nothing cut out, or the quality is too bad, it is "betting down".

The density of jadeite raw stones is very high. Chu Nan scanned it for a while before scanning the big stone. He was surprised to find that there was indeed jadeite in this stone, and it was green, but the size was too small, only the size of a thumb. Moreover, Master Licensing this sword was still 108,000 miles away from jadeite.

"Oh..." Sure enough, when Master Jieshi took the first knife, all the white stones were exposed, and there was no trace of jade. The crowd of onlookers couldn't help but sigh, as if the stone was theirs.

"Cut again!" The middle-aged man calmly asked Master Calcite to change his position and continue cutting.

Chu Nan shook his head. The second knife was still not cut in place. Sure enough, the second knife of the calculator cut open, and the white stones were still displayed in front of everyone.

Everyone sighed again, and one of the young men said, "Brother, stop cutting it, 20,000 yuan, sell this stone to me."

The middle-aged man said depressedly: "I bought this stone for 130,000 yuan and sold it to you for 20,000 yuan? Why don't I continue to cut it!"

The young man said, "Then how much do you want to sell it?"

The middle-aged man raised his index finger and said, "I'll sell it to you by 100,000 yuan."

"Brother, what's the joke? It's still sold for 100,000 yuan, so you'd better cut it yourself." The young man shook his head. Obviously he was not optimistic about this big stone. After all, he didn't see any sign of jade after two knifes. This stone might be really a piece of waste. He paid 20,000 yuan, just because the stone was big enough.

"I paid 80,000 yuan, will you sell it?" Chu Nan suddenly spoke.

The middle-aged man glanced at Chu Nan and smiled and said, "Who is your child, do you have 80,000 yuan? Haha, stop making trouble, go play."

Chu Nan took out a bank card and shook it, and said lightly: "Who has had a fuss with you? This is my first time playing. Seeing that this stone is big enough, it costs 80,000 yuan, you just say whether to sell it or not! The number of 80,000 yuan is auspicious. If you want to sell it, I will give you money immediately. If you don't sell it, continue to cut it."

"Okay, 80,000 is 80,000. Who said that this number is auspicious?" The middle-aged man smiled. He wanted to take action when the young man gave him 20,000 yuan, but he didn't expect a little kid to give him 80,000 yuan. If he didn't agree, he would be ill. In fact, he only spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy this material. After this calculation, he only lost more than 20,000 yuan.

Chu Nan swiped the card in the store to exchange 80,000 yuan in cash and handed it to the middle-aged man. The stone belonged to Chu Nan. The middle-aged man took the money and said with a smile: "Young man, I hope you are lucky than me!" He just called a little brat, but now he changed his words to a young man, but in fact he couldn't hope that Chu Nan would lose his bet. If the bets went up, he wouldn't regret it to death?

Chu Nan smiled and said, "I'll lend you auspicious words! I've given you 80,000, and I must send it!"

"Ha..." The crowd around them laughed and said nothing.

The Master Jieshi said, "Young man, how do you solve it?"

Chu Nan gestded and said, "Master, you can take a knife here." The place where Chu Nan gestded was still a certain distance from jade. This was done on purpose, so that it would not make people too jealous if they cut out jade with one knife.

After the knife continued, the onlookers sighed again, and Chu Nan just smiled faintly. Of course, he knew that this knife had no effect.

At this moment, the young man spoke again and said, "Little brother, sell it to me for 10,000 yuan, you can lose less!"

Chu Nan smiled and said, "I've paid 80,000 yuan. Do I still feel sorry for this ten thousand yuan? Master, continue to cut here."

The first knife, the white stone;

The second knife, the white stone;

The third knife is still a white stone!

The stones were all cut several times in a row. According to common sense, this piece of wool is usually a pure stone. If Chu Nan hadn't insisted on cutting it, Master Calcite would have been too lazy to do it, and it was a waste of the machine. The onlookers had no patience to watch it. Most of them had dispersed and they had selected the raw wool materials.

Chu Nan said: "Master, cut here again. If there is no, you won't cut it." Chu Nan gestured for a while, and if he cut it from there, he could see the jade.

Master Jieshi didn't talk nonsense, and just cut it with his hands, and it was delayed for a long time on this stone.

"Hey, there's actually green!"

“…It’s been cut!”

"The color is quite thick, it's rising, it's going to rise!"

As soon as the cut was finished, a sharp-eyed onlookers shouted. Master Jieshi quickly rinsed with water, and indeed a little rich green appeared. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Young man, you're lucky. You cut it up! Are you still cutting it?"

Chu Nan said without caring: "Cut, of course, cut it. If you want to cut it, cut it all!"

"Okay." Master Jieshi quickly started to take action again. Seeing the color of the jade, it was quite correct. Such a jadeite rough stone could be cut out by his hands, which was also a kind of qualification for him, so he was in a very good mood.

"Young man, stop cutting it, 100,000 yuan, sell it to me!" The young man ran over again, and when he saw the color of the green space, he couldn't help but be moved.

Chu Nan smiled faintly and said, "I'm not short of that 100,000 yuan either. Master, you cut it first. If you are interested, just look at the goods and bid."

There were also a few people who wanted to bid and stopped talking after hearing what he said, and just waited there to see what the jade would look like when it was cut out. From the moment, the color was pretty good, but I don’t know what the water quality was.

After a period of cutting, polishing and cleaning, a green jade slightly smaller than a pigeon egg appeared in front of everyone, and everyone started circulating.

"I... are full of green glass. I have been playing with the stone for so long. Today I am very eye-opening. It's the best jade."

"Nonsense, you guys have only been playing for a few months? At most, this is ice type. Although it is full of green, it is unevenly green, and at most it is top-quality jade."

"Brother, this is a bad word. Although the green segment is a little uneven, it is very green. In addition, the jade is beautifully shaped and cannot reach the best, it is also considered the best among the best."

Everyone commented while circulating, and after a round, the jade returned to Chu Nan's hand. Chu Nan smiled and said, "A green glass-like egg-shaped jadeite is very watery, without cracks, and flaws. It is between the best and the best. You can offer the price. I will sell it if the price is right." Chu Nan said honestly, those present who can afford this jade must not be ordinary people, and no matter how nice it sounds, it is useless.

"I'll pay 200,000, little brother, sell it to me." The young man spoke first.

"What jade should I buy for 200,000 yuan? Little brother, I will pay 500,000 yuan!" A middle-aged man directly raised the price a lot.

"800,000, my little brother likes auspicious numbers. I will pay 800,000, how about it?" said another middle-aged man.

"One million!" A woman said in a faint voice. Everyone turned their heads and looked at it. It was a young and beautiful fashionable woman. She seemed to have just arrived and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would meet such a good jade as soon as I came. I want it for one million!"

The middle-aged man glanced at the woman and gritted his teeth and said, "One million, one hundred thousand." At such a high price, he was the only one who bids with the young woman.

"One.5 million!" the woman said lightly, but one price increase was a big deal.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a while and added another price: "One and six million!"

"One million and 800,000! This is my final bid, and it is also the highest price of this jade. If anyone of you adds another dollar, I will not ask for it." The woman smiled faintly, looking very relaxed.

The middle-aged man who bid with her gritted his teeth and finally gave up. One million was his bottom line. He just called the price twice more, just to make the other party spend more money. Now that the other party has said that, he dare not add more money. He smiled and said, "Since Miss Ye likes this jade so much, I, Mr. Wang, will not take away the benefits of me."

"Thank you." The woman smiled faintly, came directly to Chu Nan and said, "Little brother, 1.8 million, are you still satisfied with this price?"

"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied!" Chu Nan nodded and smiled, but stared at the other party's towering chest and said, "But just ask the 'big' sister to call me brother. Don't add the word 'small', I'm not young anymore." Chu Nan said something else. His younger brother is really not young anymore. If he is optimizing and applying a strong patch, it will kill even more women.

"Ha, my little brother is quite interesting. My name is Ye Ziqian. What's your name?" the woman said with a smile.

Chu Nan nodded: "Oh, it turns out that my sister is Ye Ziqian. It sounds nice, my name is Chu Nan."

"Chu Nan?" Ye Ziqian covered her mouth and chuckled, "Okay, brother Chu Nan, tell me the card number and I'll send you the money."

Chu Nan told Ye Ziqian the card number. Ye Ziqian made a phone call. In less than five minutes, Chu Nan's cell phone rang. After buying the phone, he bound a bank card and would notify him as long as there is a change in the amount. When it was first activated, he was still worried about the service fee of several yuan a month. Now that I think about it, it is quite convenient.

"Your account with the last number of 9870 is transferred to 1800,000 yuan..." Chu Nan looked at the text message and nodded and said, "I received it, Sister Zi Qian, I will hand it over to you. I hope you can make it into a perfect jade jewelry."
