In Tianzhou, there are many people who play jade. There are not only experienced stone gamblers, but also many jade novices who have just entered the industry.
But both experts and novices are very afraid of someone.
This man's name is Ultai.
The nickname is ghost.
This man is sixty years old, 1.58 meters tall, short, dark-skinned, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and is somewhat ugly. He is an overseas Chinese from Myanmar.
In the past few decades, Wuertai has been wandering around in the jungles and mountains of northern Myanmar, doing some killings and stealing goods while studying the raw jade stones.
This guy is extremely perceptive and very smart.
However, if he only comprehends and studies jade stones, he will definitely become a master of stone gambling like Huang Wenjin and Li Qingshan, and he will definitely not be talked about by everyone.
While this guy was studying and pondering raw jade stones, he even started to engage in evil ways and began to research and make fake leather materials on his own.
And he became more and more proficient in his work, and his skills became more and more superb. Later, he began to form cliques and formed an underground group specializing in making fake jadeite leather.
Because of his superb methods, large numbers of people, and various tricks, he harmed a large number of jade businessmen.
There are many people who have lost their families and their wives because they paid a high price to buy the fake leather made by him.
Later, Ultai caused too much trouble in northern Myanmar, which finally attracted great attention from the Myanmar government.
Directly send government troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress them.
However, Wuertai has long been a climate situation. With many eyes and ears, and the high mountains and dense forests in northern Myanmar, the government troops have been encircling and suppressing him eight times in a row, but they have not been able to wipe him out.
Ultai is getting more and more rampant.
It becomes even more lawless.
But three years ago, Wuertai didn't know why. According to rumors, Wuertai was at its peak in northern Myanmar.
Suddenly his horse stumbled, and he was ganged up on to stab him in the back. After losing the fight, Ultai finally betrayed his family and became a toothless tiger.
This ghost who is afraid of everyone has no place to stand except in northern Myanmar.
However, just when Wuertai ran out of ammunition and food, and was about to be destroyed as he lingered, someone used magical powers to bring him back to Tianzhou from northern Myanmar.
When Wu Ertai returned to Tianzhou, he also made a statement on the spot.
The blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang remains in his body, and he has infinite love and loyalty to the motherland.
From the moment he stepped into the motherland, he would never act fake again.
He will not harm his colleagues.
But this Wuertai's words really sounded like farts, and he only stayed honest for a few months after he came back.
Then my hands became itchy and I started my old business again. I continued to produce fake jade leather materials in a very hidden and rundown village.
Moreover, this guy is also an all-rounder. In addition to being particularly good at making fake leather materials, he is also very good at forging jade bracelets.
We all know that there are three types of jade bracelets circulating in the market.
The first type is jade grade A, also called natural jade.
This kind of jadeite is a completely natural stone dug out from the mine. It is made after cutting, grinding and polishing. It is a pure natural jadeite without any artificial treatment.
Therefore, as long as it is pure natural jade, whether it is a rare glass species or a dry bean species, it can be called jade grade A.
In addition to A-grade jade, the second type of jade in circulation is B-grade jade.
B-grade jade is also called acid-washed and glue-injected jade.
It is the natural jadeite of poor quality which is artificially pickled, bleached and injected with glue, so as to pass it off as good and sell it at a high price to make a profit.
In addition to grade A and grade B jadeite, there is another kind of jadeite on the market, which is grade C jadeite. This type of jadeite is also called dyed jadeite.
It is a kind of jade that takes colorless or light-colored natural jade and uses raw stone dye to add some related color materials to change the original color of the bracelet, thereby making huge profits.
Of course, in addition to the three types of jade we just mentioned, there is also a BC jade on the market.
This kind of jade has no martial ethics.
It is a material in which low-end natural jadeite is artificially pickled, bleached, and glue-injected, and dyed with colorants, and then sold on the market.
Of course, these types of materials, except A-grade jade, are recognized by the majority of jadeite friends and businessmen.
The rest of the jadeite, whether it is B-grade, C-grade, or BC-grade, is not recognized. In layman’s terms, they can all be regarded as fake jadeite.
Since these types of jade are usually passed off as inferior to make huge profits, and it is very easy to obtain the materials, there are not a few speculators engaged in this industry.
Next, let’s talk about the process of counterfeiting these bracelets.
Let’s talk about b-grade jade first.
For ordinary bracelet fakers, they usually first find a piece of low-end jade material and soak the entire bracelet in hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or nitric acid.
Of course, there are even more crazy counterfeiters who use hydrofluoric acid, which is more powerful and more corrosive than hydrochloric acid and nitric acid.
This hydrofluoric acid is not simple. In addition to being called hydrofluoric acid, there is also an appalling common name called Hua Gu Shui, or White Bone Acid.
If ordinary nitric acid accidentally drips onto your hands, it will be fine if you wash it off within three minutes. However, if hydrofluoric acid accidentally drips onto your hands, it will be fine.
From the second the hydrofluoric acid contacts the skin, it will begin to corrode the skin strongly, so this thing is very corrosive.
The author once wanted to try it personally, but was still too timid and was scared away by the liquid that was as gentle as a woman.
Then go back to the topic and continue to make fake bracelets.
The pickling process takes about a week. During this period, if you want the impurities in the gaps of the bracelet to be better taken away by acid hydrolysis, you can also heat the solution.
After a week, the impurities in the gaps in the bracelet will be basically dissolved by the strong acid, and the entire bracelet has become very loose in structure. At this time, the bracelet can be taken out of the solution.
After bleaching, a low-end fake jadeite is almost halfway through the process, and then the glue injection begins.
After a week of pickling, the impurities in the bracelet have been almost completely removed, and the crystal structure has become quite loose.
At this time, special glue, usually epoxy resin glue, can be injected into the bracelet. This glue can not only make the bracelet look full and flexible, but also increase the transparency of the bracelet and improve the moisture content of the bracelet.
.
Finally, after a series of procedures such as pickling, bleaching, and glue injection, and then grinding and polishing, a piece of synthetic jadeite is created.
The production of C-grade dyed jade is also very simple.
First, a special dye is added to the jade bracelet through high temperature, and then it is manually polished and polished to make it look like the real thing.
In this way, a synthetic c-grade dyed jadeite is completed.
Dyed jade bracelets have virtually improved the appearance and price of jade, making them better, faster, higher and shamelessly making huge profits.
And some people's greed has no end, and some counterfeiters really have no morality and humanity in order to make money.
When low-end bracelets are injected with glue, they also need to be dyed. This is the BC jade we just talked about.
The method of counterfeiting this type of jade bracelet is also very simple.
Only after pickling and before glue injection, a dyeing process is added.
Because injecting glue after dyeing will make the entire bracelet look more stable and less likely to fade.
The things used for dyeing are generally divided into oil-based dyes and water-based dyes. Both of these dyes are professional and easy-to-use jade dyes.
Finally, the dyed low-end bracelet material is injected with glue, and finally polished, and a synthetic BC bracelet with bright and rich colors is created.
What is mentioned above is the process of counterfeiting various bracelets.
Except that product A is natural jade.
Whether the other bracelets are B goods, C goods, or BC goods, these bracelets are all despised fake jadeite. Once the buyer buys it, he not only spends money in vain, but also wears it, which is very corrosive and harmful to the body.
As for Wuertai, who is a ghost, he is really crazy, and he is also very good at counterfeiting jade bracelets.
He once used dozens of the lowest-end bean seed bracelets, and after artificial pickling, bleaching, glue injection and dyeing, he actually produced many glass imperial greens with rich colors and excellent planting water.
Many people in the trap became homeless and even jumped from buildings.
So whether they are the big mine owners in northern Myanmar or the jade traders from China, everyone hates and fears Wuertai.
Because of this, Wu Ertai was nicknamed "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" behind his back.
If you don't take action, someone will suffer misfortune if you do.
Even ghosts are scary.
Ouyang Chenglin decided to invite Wu Ertai to come out this time, also because he wanted to use this unpredictable ghost uncle to completely beat Li Xiangqian to pieces.
