"Tsk tsk, this piece of material looks good. It has water channels, pine flowers, fluorescent lights, and windows. One hundred and ten thousand is a bargain."
"That's right, our brothers bought this from an old Burmese man in Ruijiang. It is genuine and guaranteed to come from the entrance of Moxi Shachang."
Two middle-aged men with lewd looks on their faces were selling this piece of material at the entrance of Moxi Shachang to a young man.
The young man ignored it, just touched it twice with his hand, and was about to leave.
"Oh, don't go. Look, this piece of material weighs three kilograms. If it is cut well, there is still room for a bracelet. As long as the bracelet is cut out, it will be doubled."
"That's right, if you take a look through the open window, the meat is very delicate, has plenty of water, and is almost full of green. You may be able to find ice species, or high ice. This is a good product."
No matter how deceived these two middle-aged men were, the young man remained unmoved.
"Boss, I didn't bring enough money. I can't afford it. I'd better look elsewhere."
This young man's name is Li Xiangqian, a native of southern Sichuan, and the only son of stone gambling king Li Qingshan.
Twenty-five years ago, stone gambling king Li Qingshan was struck to death by lightning inexplicably, and the piece of natural jadeite worth one billion worth of dragon stone disappeared.
What's even worse is that in less than a day, all eighteen members of the Li family were killed in the flames. Only his pregnant wife escaped and came to Guangnan Province incognito.
Living in seclusion in an urban village in Heyang City, he relied on mending clothes for others and worked hard to help Li Xiangqian grow up.
I don't know if it's due to family inheritance, or Li Xiangqian is particularly talented, or maybe Heyang City is a natural jadeite distribution center. There are countless public and private sales, large and small, all year round.
He has been deeply interested in gambling stones since he was a child. He can actually spot them by touch. With the skill of seeing and hearing, these natural gambling stones are like a naked big girl in his eyes.
It's just that my mother has a destiny and won't allow him to touch these harmful stones.
Today is the weekend, and Li Xiangqian quietly came to the No. 1 rough stone trading market with the few hundred yuan he had saved. He wanted to make money by betting on stones.
It’s not that he is unfilial, or that he is greedy for money. It’s just that the family has been unable to untie the pot, and my mother has long-term asthma and stomach problems and needs a lot of money to buy medicine for treatment.
Thinking of his mother, who was bedridden and still enduring the pain, knitting and hand-embroidering to support the family, Li Xiangqian felt intense heartache.
After all, he couldn't help it, and quietly took out three hundred yuan from the photo album in his mother's drawer. He wanted to use the three hundred yuan to buy medicine for his mother.
As a result, as soon as I entered the raw jadeite market, I was spotted by the two counterfeit stone dealers. They actually used a piece of fake toothpaste material to pass off as a high-quality raw jadeite.
Toothpaste material, as the name suggests, is related to toothpaste, but this toothpaste is not used for brushing teeth, but is used to deceive and deceive people.
The counterfeiter first finds a piece of low-quality jadeite and cuts it open, then digs out the pulp inside and smears green toothpaste around it.
The purpose of this is to make the entire interior of the rough stone appear full of fluorescence under the illumination of a lamp, making people misjudge that the quality inside is very high.
Of course, after hollowing out the pulp inside the rough stone, the entire jadeite rough stone will appear to be underweight.
But it's not difficult. Fill it with lead blocks, wrap it with tin foil, and finally seamlessly join the two cut rough stones together, and a high-quality jadeite is created.
This is one type, and there is also a more advanced type. There is no need to cut the original stone directly. You only need to cut a small opening in a piece of jadeite wool to create a window.
Then hollow out the pulp, put the toothpaste and lead tin foil in order, and finally deliberately expose the window opening to make the window opening material.
In this way, not only does the entire stone block have a window, but the location where the window opens looks almost full of green, and there is no problem with the lighting.
Moreover, the lighting effect is particularly good, and the texture of the meat is very delicate, just like real jadeite wool.
If you are not careful, you may be deceived and spend a lot of money to buy toothpaste ingredients.
It is said that this toothpaste material was first invented by Lao Burma, and was later used by people in China to deceive their compatriots.
Even an expert who specializes in jadeite materials would most likely be blind to buying such a piece of trash at a high price.
Xu Zhenqiang, the president of the Heyang Jade Trading Association, is said to have had his eye punched once and bought a piece of toothpaste material for a friend, which made him so angry that he developed high blood pressure.
What those two men just sold to Li Xiangqian was a piece of fake toothpaste. Li Xiangqian just didn't want to expose them.
After all, those who play with jadeite in Heyang are a mixed bag, so it’s better not to ruin people’s wealth easily.
Moreover, there is a rule in the jade industry, which is to see through without telling. Even if you see a problem with a stone, don't point fingers deliberately.
You don’t have to buy it, but you can’t talk nonsense.
And if you like a stone and you make a bid and the seller doesn't agree, forget it. If you make a bid and the seller agrees, you have to buy it. This is the rule.
Otherwise, if you check someone's bottom line but don't buy it, and ask them to sell it anyway, they might break your legs and you won't be able to reason with them.
Li Qianqian put aside the entanglement between the two men, and then when he suddenly turned around, he accidentally bumped into a girl with a bumpy figure and a very good figure.
This girl has exquisite facial features, long shawl hair, and wears a waist-length jumpsuit that reaches her knees, which clearly shows off her entire figure.
Li Qianqian felt very clearly that his strong body seemed to have hit a soft sponge.
His face immediately turned red.
He is twenty-five years old and has really never been in contact with any mature women except his mother.
A few years ago, after finishing high school, he was admitted to Jiangnan University with the top score in Heyang No. 1 High School.
But faced with high tuition fees and living expenses, Yao Tianhua, a local philanthropist in Heyang, promised to fund all his tuition fees during college through a student aid agency.
Li Xiangqian still declined in good faith.
Jiangnan University is located in Tianzhou, the capital of Guangnan Province. Although it is not too far from Heyang, it is also the second largest university in China.
However, considering that his mother had suffered a massive hemorrhage when giving birth to him, was in poor health, had asthma and stomach problems, and had no one to take care of him at home, Li Xiangqian gave up the opportunity to continue his studies in a higher education institution.
Instead, he worked part-time while taking care of his sick mother.
The person who collided with him just now was Yao Xuewei, the daughter of Yao Tianhua, a local good man in Heyang.
Of course Li Xiangqian didn't recognize him. He apologized and turned around and left.
And Yao Xuewei did not make things difficult for Li Xiangqian. After all, Miss Yao had a rigorous upbringing since she was a child, had always had a gentle personality, and would not bully the weak.
Li Xiangqian came to his senses, walked past two stalls, and came to an exposed stall.
This stall is filled with large and small stones. The stones include full-size materials, cut-out materials, half-size materials, open materials, and even some masking materials and kilogram materials.
Li stood forward and glanced twice, then fixed his gaze on a piece of Houjiang Quanbao material that weighed almost one kilogram.
