"Miss, do you plan to sell this stone? I'll pay you 10 million!"
This stone was originally oval-shaped, but now it has been cut twice and directly shaped into a rectangular parallelepiped.
There are two sections, one side is almost full of glass seeds, and the other side is slightly worse and is made of waxy ice. Many people passing by just glanced at it and couldn't move away anymore.
Hearing someone shout out the price, other onlookers also started to fight for it.
"Miss, I'll give you 12 million, sell it to me!"
"I'll pay fifteen million!"
"Sixteen million!"
…
Hearing this higher bid, An Xiangrong laughed happily.
Originally, he thought that Bai Tang's loss of 600,000 yuan would never be recouped, but now, such a good piece of material was offered!
This made him feel like he was on a roller coaster. For a moment, he couldn't even speak. He could only look at Xiao Yun deeply, as if he was grateful and admired.
After all, Xiao Yun chose this head covering material that no one was optimistic about!
Not far away, Wu Zheng was looking in this direction with a heavy face, his eyes were very complicated.
This kid has picked out another piece of top quality material.
At this moment, his assistant came over from the side: "Young master, all the stones have been cut out. There is no jade meat on both sides. The total weight is six kilograms."
Hearing this, Wu Zheng glanced at the stone in the assistant's arms.
This is exactly the red-skinned and white meat he just spent 50 million to buy from Xiao Yun.
"Fortunately, it's not a loss." Wu Zheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and the smile on his face made the assistant a little unpredictable.
"Young master, this loss is indeed not a loss, but...but..." the assistant looked at him cautiously, and said with some disappointment: "But the master who opened the stone just now said that the stone is not big, and there is not much profit.
, unless the carving is particularly good...sigh!"
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Little problem, I have guessed it a long time ago. There may be no jade on the side of this stone."
Hearing this, the assistant's face was startled, and he almost thought he heard it wrong: "Ah? You, you have guessed it a long time ago?"
Wu Zheng had a calm expression on his face, and looked in the direction of Xiao Yun playfully, "That's right, otherwise, why wouldn't he dare to take another gamble and cut the side open?"
"If there is material cut into the sides, the stone is basically full of jade, and the price can definitely go up. But he is only willing to cut the top and bottom."
Hearing this, the assistant became even more confused, "Young master, you, you mean... that boy knew that there was nothing on both sides of the stone, so he deliberately cut only the upper and lower sides?"
How is this possible?
It’s not like that kid has opened his eyes. How could he see through the pulpy skin on the outside and determine where there is jade flesh and where there is no jade flesh?
Even experienced master chefs don’t dare to 100% guarantee this!
Wu Zheng put away his gaze and looked at the stone in the assistant's hand. An appreciative smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "What else? He cut it once and it got bigger, and he dared to cut it again. With such courage, he would not dare to cut more.
A knife in the side?"
"this……"
The assistant didn't know how to refute it for a moment, but when he thought about it carefully, he found it very incredible. After all, they bought the stone and cut it open, only to realize that there was no material on both sides. When bidding just now, Xiao Yun was
Surely, there will definitely be no material on both sides?
"The young master shouldn't be so evil, right?"
Hearing this, Wu Zheng once again moved his gaze to Xiao Yun in the distance, and said as if muttering to himself: "It's a very evil sect..."
Originally, he also thought that Xiao Yun must be lucky and know how to stop when things are good. He thought it would be good to earn 50 million, so he did not continue to cut and raise the price.
But just now he witnessed with his own eyes the process of Xiao Yun choosing the material for An Xiangrong's head covering, which gave him a strange feeling in his heart.
He seemed to see at a glance that the piece of window material Xiao Dahai chose was empty inside. No matter what others said, he simply advised Bai Tang not to buy it.
Finally, among more than a dozen pieces of head covering materials, I directly selected a piece with glass seeds!
This is definitely not something that can be explained by pure luck.
"Master, what are you looking at?" Seeing Wu Zheng staring straight ahead in deep thought, the assistant couldn't help but asked curiously.
"At the stall over there." Wu Zheng raised his finger and pointed in Xiao Yun's direction, narrowed his eyes and said, "He opened another piece of glass!"
"Glass?!" The assistant's face was startled, his eyes almost popped out, and he hurriedly looked in the direction Wu Zheng pointed.
Sure enough, the stall owner was holding a freshly cut jade stone in his hand. From a distance, the faint green color was very conspicuous.
"Well, even though one side has changed and is made of glutinous ice, the price of the whole stone will not be low at all." Wu Zheng squinted his eyes and the smile on his lips became thicker.
"Holy crap! What kind of luck is this!?" The assistant was so shocked that he uttered a curse word.
Wu Zheng glanced at him lightly.
The assistant's face froze, thinking that he had made the young master dissatisfied because of his swearing and being too rude. He lowered his head in panic.
However, Wu Zheng didn't pay attention to his swear words at all. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think it's just good luck that he produced red skin and white flesh once and glass variety again?"
Hearing this, the assistant thought about it carefully, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yun in the distance, "Young Master, what do you mean... this boy... has extraordinary eyesight?!
"
As soon as he said it, the assistant shook his head again and again, denying it to himself: "It's impossible. Judging from his age, he is probably in his early twenties. How could he know how to appraise jade, unless he is..."
Having said this, the assistant seemed to realize something, and looked at Wu Zheng in shock, "Unless... he is the apprentice of a certain master!"
Wu Zheng only smiled faintly and said nothing, but the admiration in his eyes made the assistant understand it.
"Young Master, it would be great if such a talent could be included in our Wu Jewelry Collection..." The assistant observed Wu Zheng's expression and said tentatively.
This really speaks to Wu Zheng's point. He is indeed very interested in Xiao Yun's super ability to identify jade.
Since the fall of the Bai family, the Wu family can be said to be the dominant family in the jewelry industry. After all, the father and son of the Li family are not people who can make a big impact. It would be better if they don't lose the little bit of their ancestors' industry.
.
However, recently many jade appraisers under Wu's Jewelry Group have resigned.
Under Wu Zheng's investigation, he discovered that these jade appraisers were poached by the Zhou family at high prices. Moreover, he also received news that the Zhou family was preparing to diversify their development and purchase a batch of jadeite from Myanmar.
, started the jade business.
This made the Wu family begin to feel a sense of crisis.
"Yes, if he really has such a good ability, wouldn't it be a waste if he doesn't use it?" Wu Zheng looked at Xiao Yun's back with burning eyes.
After hearing this, the assistant became more and more sure of his thoughts, and immediately suggested with a smile: "Young Master, it's useless for us to just discuss it here, why not... go over and explore his words? It's hard to say, this kid is also interested in entering Wu.
I’m working!”
Wu Zheng nodded, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the rough stone stall in the distance.
