Jiang Zhihao looked down at the rough stone on the ground and ignored He Chuncheng. He squatted down, pulled the stone and looked at it twice, and then said, "This is the one."
Although the prices of rough stones in private auctions are clearly marked, they are generally negotiable, and you don’t have to bid for them like in public auctions.
As long as you pay here, you can take the stone away immediately.
When Jiang Zhihao was paying, He Chuncheng came over and took a look, and then said: "Brother Jiang, I advise you not to buy it. There is a large ringworm on this stone. It looks green, but in fact there is a big crack running from the head to the end.
The tail. And the surface is too smooth. It looks like it came from a new mine, and nothing good can be mined."
"I bought it just because it looks smooth. It's more pleasing to the eye," Jiang Zhihao said.
He Chuncheng used a strong flashlight to shine on the stone, and then said: "Look, the light can't penetrate even if it shines on it. It's obvious that the skin is too thick or there is no water inside. Spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy this kind of stone."
It's just a waste of money."
The bosses of the private sales here are all proficient in Chinese. When He Chuncheng said this, the boss immediately said to Jiang Zhihao: "You can never tell the quality of jadeite by turning on the light. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as gambling on stones."
Yes, you have to trust your instincts."
Jiang Zhihao showed an expression of approval and said: "My intuition has always been very accurate, so let's do this."
He Chuncheng curled his lips with a sarcastic expression on his face.
After Jiang Zhihao paid the money, he said: "Since we have made multiple choices, why not open the stones on site, otherwise there will be no place to store them."
Shao Anlan didn't care, and even hoped that Jiang Zhihao's raw stone explosive seeds would suppress He Chuncheng.
She had this idea because she didn't know how to do it. Zhu Meizhen was also the daughter of a jeweler, so she knew a little bit about jade.
Her view of this stone was similar to that of He Chuncheng. The skin was thick and smooth, a typical white stone. If she hadn't been afraid of losing Jiang Zhihao's face, she might have persuaded him earlier than He Chuncheng.
Now He Chuncheng is clamoring to open the stone. Zhu Meizhen immediately said: "The public auction is about to start. If there is anything to do, we will talk about it later."
After that, Zhu Meizhen pulled Jiang Zhihao to leave.
"Tsk, tsk, since Brother Jiang doesn't dare, forget it. If you don't open it, don't open it. Otherwise, if you are really embarrassed, you won't be able to step down." He Chuncheng said.
His increasingly obvious provocation made Shao Anlan even more unhappy: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"
"What's wrong with me? I'm not wrong. Why are you so angry?" He Chuncheng said.
Jiang Zhihao stopped Shao Anlan's follow-up words and said with a smile: "Classmate He is right. Now that the choice has been made, let's do it on the spot, so as not to worry about it all the time. But Classmate He must remember that whoever loses will have to
Pay one hundred yuan."
He Chuncheng was overjoyed, grinned and said haha: "Don't worry, don't say a hundred, I will give you even one million!"
With that said, He Chuncheng directly carried his own piece of rough stone and Jiang Zhihao's to the place where the stone was cut.
There are always many people watching when the stone is cut on site. Many people quite approve of the piece He Chuncheng selected and think the cut price may be very high.
As for Jiang Zhihao's piece, no one cares about it. Some people even think that cutting this kind of material is a waste of money.
