Chapter 55, Treasure Basin

When Mr. Ye saw this red and yellow jadeite, he couldn't help but be moved. If the Jinyu family took down this jadeite and carved it into a work to display it, how much glory would it bring to the Jinyu family? Mr. Ye could have imagined that once the dragon and phoenix jadeite was released, it would definitely attract media from all sides to interview. By then, the Jinyu family would not only have a greater reputation, but also attract more customers, which could be said to have both fame and fortune! Therefore, even though Mr. Ye had withdrawn from the world, he could not help but be moved when he saw this top-quality two-color jadeite, and wanted to make benefits for the Ye family's jewelry industry!

"Of course this jadeite has to be handed over to the Jinyu family! If I don't hand it over to the Jinyu family, who else will I give it to?" Chu Nan said with a smile: "But, let's not be in a hurry, cut this big guy out first." As he said that, Chu Nan began to draw lines on the large stone weighing several tons to outline the places that should be cut and the places that should be preserved. In this way, the large pieces of jadeite among the big stones can be cut out the most completely.

The stone was too big, but when everyone saw Chu Nan's look full of confidence, they were looking forward to the jade in the stone, so they only had a simple work light meal at noon and continued to watch the calcite.

It was not until ten minutes late that the whole stone was finally basically cut out. This was a huge piece of jade, which was generally irregular in shape of a sphere, with a longest diameter of 58 cm, a shortest diameter of 35 cm, and weighed more than 400 kilograms. This piece of jade is not a single color or water quality, and is much more fancy than that of the two-color jade.

The biggest part is the outer layer of the entire jade, about four or five centimeters thick, with dark yellow, slightly transparent or opaque color, and a typical glutinous yellow-brown jade. Surrounded by the yellow-brown jade, there are green, red, blue, purple, white and some varied colors. The colors of all jade are basically together. These colorful jades have different types and water, including glutinous, ice and glass types, which are intertwined and are very messy. Ordinary people may have been dazzled when they see this colorful jade, but Chu Nan has long understood the works that can be carved into this jade.

After more than half a day of cutting and polishing, this colorful jade finally showed its true appearance. Chu Nan smiled and said, "Grandpa Ye, how does this big guy compare to the previous piece of glass-type two-color jade?"

Ye Jidao smiled faintly and said, "The two-color jade in the morning will be the most indisputable best in terms of color, water quality, and future design and carving; and this big jade, although the water quality is not very good, it cannot be compared with the red and yellow two-color jade, the most obvious feature of this jade is its largeness. The second feature is its rich color! The larger the jade, the more colors the more space it can be used by designers and engravers. It is obvious that this jade that grows extremely strangely is definitely an excellent carving material. Our current task is to select the best design plan from the many design plans! Chu Nan, do you have any good ideas? Let us all listen to it."

Chu Nan said: "Then I will tell you about my design ideas. Please forgive me for the bad things."

Ye Ziqian said anxiously: "Looking at your expression, you will know that you are confident. Just say it directly, why are you pretending to be polite?"

Chu Nan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just say it. Grandpa Ye, although this irregular sphere jade looks very messy at first glance, you should have discovered that the outermost layer of this jade is a dark yellow-brown jade. If we remove the yellow-brown jade on the top and this part of the yellow-brown jade on the bottom, does the yellow-brown jade on the bottom look like a golden basin?"

"Golden Basin?" Old Master Ye frowned, as if thinking about the items related to the Golden Basin.

Chu Nan nodded and said, "Grandpa Ye, look at these colorful and messy jades. They are originally gems. If they are carved with artistically, can they be carved into various gold and silver jewelry? A golden basin filled with various treasures. Isn't this a treasure pot?"

"Treasure Basin?" Old Master Ye gently closed his eyes slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and nodded, "Yes, the form of this jade is indeed suitable for carving into a treasure pot! The treasure pot is also called the gold and jade mandarin hall, which has a very good meaning, gathering heavenly wealth, earthly wealth, water wealth, regular wealth, and partial wealth. In short, all the wealth in the world is gathered in this pot. For merchants, the meaning of the treasure pot is particularly significant. Moreover, our treasure pot has a lot of room to play. Big, once carved, it is already a treasure pot full of treasures, much better than an ordinary treasure pot with empty stomach. The most important point is that the 'gold jade' in the hall is the same as the 'gold jade' in our Jinyu family, and it has a good reference. If this piece of jade is carved into a treasure pot full of jewelry, then we will use it as the treasure of our Jinyu family's store, meaning that our Jinyu family can also have a gold and jade hall!"

Ye Ziqian also nodded and said, "Yes, this large piece of jade carved with gold and jade cannot be sold. It must be the treasure of our Jinyu Family's store, so that our Jinyu Family can be worth it! In the morning, the best piece of red and yellow jade can be carved into a dragon and phoenix auspicious jade bi with auspicious meaning. It is best not to sell it. The color and water quality of the jade are too good, and it will definitely increase in the future. If you sell it, it will lose money! And we are reluctant to sell it, so it is better to stay in the store for promotion!"

Mr. Ye smiled and said, "This piece of colorful jade and the best red and yellow jade cut out in the morning are both from Chu Nan, but you can't decide!"

Ye Ziqian said, "Chu Nan has agreed to sell these two pieces of jade to us just now. Of course we can make the decision, right, Chu Nan?"

Chu Nan nodded with a smile: "Yes, of course!" He thought to himself, who would have to do with our relationship? Mine is yours, anyway, in the end you are all mine, including yourself! Hey...

"Grandpa, did you see it?" Ye Ziqian said proudly, like a little girl who received a reward, and rarely showed her cute side. She looked at her phone and said, "It's getting late, I'm hungry, let's have a meal. Today I get a huge harvest. I'll treat you to a big meal!"

For a sumptuous dinner, the participants included Mr. Ye, Ye Ziqian, Chu Nan and several calcites from the Jinyu family, and the veterans of the carving of the Jinyu family had another discussion on the detailed design on the dining table. Of course, Chu Nan had no talent or experience in this area. He only needed to put forward his general ideas and let these professional experts slowly carve the remaining details!

After the meal, Ye Ziqian also brought Chu Nan to the old house in Nanshan because he had to further discuss the transfer of the two pieces of jade. No matter which piece of jade, the two pieces of jade, are worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Although the red and yellow jade is not big, the color, type, water and meaning are extremely rare gem-level masterpieces, so the finished product carved must be more than nine digits; while the large piece of jade, although the color and water are relatively mixed, it is large enough, which is rare in the world, and the carved works have excellent meanings. If it is made into a treasure pot, after some hype, the value soars by hundreds of millions and billions, it depends on how it is hyped!

All of the big businesses worth hundreds of millions must be decided by Ye Zhengguo, the real ruler of the Ye family. Ye Ziqian brought Chu Nan back to the old house in Nanshan for this reason. But the Jinyu family is still facing another difficulty, that is, they cannot provide 200 million working capital at all...
