There were other people selecting woolen materials in the store. Li Xiangqian smiled at the store owner and signaled that he could do other things first and he wanted to take a good look.
"Okay young man, just tell me if you like him."
After the store owner finished speaking, he winked at the clerk in the room and walked out.
Li Qianqian stood next to the shelves where jade materials were placed and touched them carefully with his hands.
After half an hour, after looking through all the materials on the shelves, Li Qianqian successfully locked onto a piece of patinated leather material from Muna Lao Mine.
This piece of material doesn't have any appearance on the outside, and there is a high probability that it can be used as a bracelet, but these are not the reasons why Li Xiangqian wants to lock it.
The only reason why Li Xiangqian locked it was because the material covered with pulp was very likely to contain ice-type purple jade.
In the jade industry, most of the cut materials are green, and green is the most accepted color by consumers.
But among the jade materials, in addition to green jade, there are also other colors such as red jade, yellow jade, and purple jade.
There is a saying in the jade industry.
Red, emerald, green and purple are precious.
What does it mean?
That is to say, among so many jadeite, purple jadeite is relatively rare.
Of course, purple jadeite with good color and good planting water is even more rare.
A piece of high-ice purple jade with delicate flesh, even gelatin, full of flexibility, roundness and plumpness, and watery texture is no less than the noble-quality imperial green.
Purple jade is the most rare, and there is a saying about purple jade, which is called ten chun and nine trees.
Chun refers to purple in jade.
Wood refers to a rough texture that looks dull and dry.
In other words, among all purple jadeite, almost 90% have poor planting water and rough crystals.
Only the remaining 10% of purple jade will produce high-quality products.
Therefore, a piece of high-ice purple jade with delicate flesh, even gelatinization, full of flexibility, roundness and fullness, and watery texture is no less than the noble-quality imperial green.
At this moment, the piece of wood and pulp-covered material that Li Xiangqian was holding in his hand was a piece of bright and beautiful high-ice purple jade with various colors.
When the shop owner saw that Li Xiangqian had chosen the material, and it turned out to be purple, he immediately despised it.
Haha, you guys still want to get high-end materials. Although purple jade is the rarest, due to its own characteristics, it will almost collapse every time you get it.
It's almost impossible to find a piece of purple material with good water and color.
If you want to die, then go ahead.
The store owner immediately looked at Li Xiangqian with a smile.
"Young man, do you choose this material?"
"Well, boss, this is it. How much is it?"
"Young man, you have good eyesight. This material is not simple. It is purple jade covered with pulp from the old mine in Muna. It is very likely to produce high-quality violet. You want to buy it, it costs 30,000 yuan."
"Boss, purple material is the hardest to sell at a high price, and nine out of ten of them are worthless. You're asking for 30,000 yuan, but I don't see the value of 30,000 yuan. Moreover, the leather case is mediocre, and it's too much of a gamble."
Li Xiangqian said and put down the jade material in his hand. His meaning was very clear. If you ask for 30,000 yuan, I will not buy it at all.
The shop owner didn't expect that the young man in front of him was not a fat pig ready to be slaughtered. In addition, the material was too ordinary, and the seed water when cut was not very good, so he reduced the asking price by 10,000.
Twenty thousand.
Li Xiangqian only stretched out five fingers, indicating that he would buy the jade material for five thousand yuan.
The store pretended to hesitate for a few seconds, and then readily agreed.
The outer skin of this piece of jadeite is average, and the flesh inside is probably average, and the probability of cutting out a bracelet is low.
Even if you can cut out a pair of bracelets, if they are dry and watery, they will not be sold at a high price.
In the end, it was me and I who made the profit.
Pay the money with one hand and receive the goods with the other.
After Li Xiangqian transferred the money to the shop owner, he took the three kilograms of material in his hand.
The shop owner probably thought that this piece of material would be ruined, so he had no interest in pestering Li Xiangqian and asked him to cut the piece of material here.
On the contrary, the young Shen Haoyang just now, when he saw that Li Xiangqian only spent 5,000 yuan to buy a piece of three kilograms of material, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop Li Xiangqian.
He cut off four pieces in a row and spent more than one million in vain without any improvement.
He didn't believe that this young man, who was about the same age as him, could find a piece of good material for five thousand yuan.
In addition, he also wanted to test his eyesight, because with this piece of material, he also felt that everything would collapse.
"Brother, cut it off, it will also make us young people who have been cut off grow eyesight."
"Yes, let's cut it and see if this piece of material will produce the best purple jade."
I saw someone buying ingredients, and some people gathered around to watch the excitement and not take it too seriously.
Li Xiangqian had no intention of cutting the ingredients in this shop, and other people insisted on seeing them.
In addition, now he saw that the owner of this store looked at him with curled lips and disdain, and he immediately felt a little unhappy.
Not steaming the steamed buns will make you lose your breath.
Li Xiangqian immediately agreed to cut it.
When the shop owner saw that Li Xiangqian wanted to cut it, he had no objection.
I thought to myself, young man, every time you learn something, you gain wisdom. This piece of material is just a lesson you spent money to buy.
The shop owner took the material from Li Xiangqian's hand and prepared to cut it directly with a water saw.
But Li Xiangqian refused directly.
This piece of material is not big, just enough for a pair of bracelets. If it is not cut properly and a bracelet cannot be made, the selling price will be greatly reduced, no matter how good the planting water is.
Therefore, Li Xiangqian did not ask the shop owner to use a water saw directly. Instead, he used an angle grinder and a tooth engraving machine to peel off the skin first.
After peeling off the outer shell, you can tell immediately whether the piece of material is a mule or a horse, whether it is swollen or collapsed.
The shop owner really didn't want to waste time on this scrap, so when Li Xiangqian asked him to slowly peel off the skin with an angle grinder, he immediately gave the material in his hand to a young master next to him.
Instruct the master under him to peel off the skin directly.
The shop owner's contempt and disdain did not make Li look forward with anger.
Through many years of life and habits, he has already developed a calm and unchanging character. No one can easily detect the joy, anger, sorrow and joy on his face.
In less than a minute, the master responsible for skinning the ingredients became excited.
Because, after peeling off a piece of skin with an angle grinder and rinsing it with water, the watery, bright and vivid purple color came into view.
This, this...
The master in charge of peeling the food could not hold back his excitement and immediately continued to peel the piece of material carefully.
Ten minutes later, all the skin of the purple jade material was peeled off.
A violet with excellent water color, still alive in the light, completely full of color, just right with a bracelet, and even texture, bright and flexible, completely reveals its true appearance.
