Father Li smiled happily, nodded repeatedly and said:
"Okay, that's the price."
Li Mu originally wanted to make his father happy, but now he has achieved his goal. He sold the ore to the mine owner for 1.65 million.
The owner of the mine was quite satisfied with Li Mu's cheerfulness. The old man, who looked to be in his 80s, said to the security guard behind him:
"Xiao Yang, take this guy to mark his card, and then take him to the woolen area to get stones."
As he spoke, he handed over a business card to Li Mu and said:
"My little friend, you are so cheerful. I like you, old man. Come to our stone farm often when you have nothing to do. I will treat you and this old man well."
Father Li waved his hands repeatedly, glanced at the name on the business card, and said with a smile:
"Brother Wei, you are serious, then... let's go pick out the rocks first?"
Wei Wuxian smiled and nodded, and said to the two of them:
"I'll go for a walk with you and gain some knowledge along the way."
Li Mu said politely:
"Luck, just luck."
Several people came all the way to the woolen fabric area.
With the ten quotas of woolen materials donated by Mr. Wei, Li Mu finally no longer has to select in the thousand-yuan waste area.
What he had just seen was that there were not many valuable materials here.
So go directly to the 10,000-yuan stone area.
At this point, the raw stone materials can be subdivided into mountain materials, half-mountain and semi-water stones and water stones.
Li Mu entered the stone pile, and the materials inside were carefully selected. Some of the materials with obvious characteristics such as ringworm, lin, pines and flowers on the jade skin were screened into this area.
These symptoms all indicate that green color may occur under the skin.
But Li Mu looked around and shook his head.
Although these stones look quite good, they are full of green color.
Some light can even penetrate into a few centimeters of jadeite material. The green is crystal clear and very transparent, but in fact it is impossible to make a high-end diamond ring. Once you don’t master the relationship between water and green, you may not be able to keep the original price.
.
Leaving directly from the high-end area, Li Mu went straight to the mid- to upper-end stockyard.
This type of material has certain properties and is generally used to make bracelets and jade carvings. But sometimes it can also be cut into egg-shaped stirrup-shaped rings with good colors.
After observing for a long time, Li Mu selected three stones and handed them to Mr. Li and Mr. Wei.
Mr. Li's research on jadeite is still based on theory, while Mr. Wei, who runs a gambling stone quarry, has done much more thorough research.
He took a spotlight flashlight and shone it over and over on the stone, but he couldn't see what was good about the material.
These three stones are only above average. Judging from Mr. Wei's rich experience, only one of them is favored by Mr. Wei, and the remaining two can only be said to be worthless.
Could it be that this little guy was blinded just now?
It doesn't look like that. Judging from his confident and determined look, he must be very knowledgeable about jade.
Soon, Li Mu brought back several more jade materials. The first piece was jade wool with a green-gray surface: also called a green-gray shell.
The skin of this type of jadeite wool is blue-gray, but the texture inside the wool is very delicate.
This kind of jadeite wool is usually waxy jadeite, which is considered to be mid-to-high-end woolen material.
Looking at this piece of material carefully, Mr. Wei admired it very much. Although it was not big, its shell was bright, the pine flower color was rich and bright, and the stone was surrounded by convex and winding veins distributed on the surface of the weathered crust, such as
There is a coiled python.
But unfortunately, in Mr. Wei's opinion, the stone itself has moss on two sides, and it may be dirty inside.
As Li Mu brought back more and more stones, Dafu Jewelry Director Zhou Futai, who rushed over to watch the excitement, couldn't sit still.
As an expert in playing with jade, he could see that Li Mu was not choosing randomly at all. The materials he brought back were mostly in line with:
The five major characteristics of Pipine python moss mist.
Although among ten-thousand-yuan stones, stones with these elements have a lot of gambling content.
But in Zhou Futai's view, Li Mu's stone selection skills are no weaker than those of some domestic appraisal experts who claim to be masters.
Being young makes you a wise man.
Zhou Futai was secretly frightened, and his mind couldn't help but become active. He had already planned to find a way to hire this extremely young man, offer him a sky-high salary, and help him gamble on stones.
After finally finishing the selection of ten stones, and looking at the stone selection box carried by the security guard, which was full of stones, Mr. Wei took the initiative and said:
"My little friend, let's not open these ingredients here. If you are interested, you might as well come and sit in my teahouse."
"Let's drink tea and cut stones at the same time."
As he spoke, Mr. Wei looked at Mr. Li and said with great respect:
"Brother Li, what do you think?"
Just now, when Li Mu was selecting stones in the stone area, he had already exchanged names with Father Li.
Both of them are lovers of strange rocks, and the two old men have become close to each other.
Dad Li enjoyed the hospitality of the owner of the stone gambling den very much. He was already itching for the collection of rare stones that he mentioned. When he heard his invitation, he agreed:
"That's great, Xiao Mu, let's just listen to Brother Wei and go to his place to bother him for a while."
Brother Wei laughed loudly, put his arm around Father Li Mu's shoulders, and said repeatedly:
"That's a good relationship. I hope you guys come here often. Let's go! I also have several kinds of good tea. Let's chat while drinking."
Counting Zhou Futai, a group of four people came to the teahouse where the strange stone field entertained distinguished guests.
As you enter the wrought iron gate of the Strange Stone Pavilion, you will see pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water inside. It is so grand and elegant to the extreme.
On the stone shelves here, there are various exquisitely carved jade ornaments, including a smiling Maitreya, exquisitely carved landscapes, and some top-quality jade materials with open windows. Seeing this, Mr. Li was filled with excitement and kept thinking
Praise.
When he walked to a glass display cabinet, Mr. Li's eyes widened.
This is an "olivine iron meteorite", which is full of olivine crystals. Under the illumination of light, the transparent crystals the size of fingernails emit bright and soft bright yellow light, which looks thrilling and spectacular.
.
Mr. Wei said proudly:
"Olivine meteorites are extremely rare in the meteorite world. Only one percent of the known meteorites are classified as this type of meteorite. It is my most proud collection."
Seeing that his father couldn't move his eyes away, Li Mu immediately had an idea and said:
"Mr. Wei, how about we make a bet?"
Mr. Wei looked at Li Mu and said haha:
"How to bet?"
Li Mu pointed to the frame of wool he had just selected and said with a smile:
"If the top-grade imperial green comes out of the stone I selected, then I will give it to Mr. Wei, but in return, you will give this meteorite to my old man."
Li Mu's price is not arbitrary. The value of a piece of top-grade imperial green can easily start at tens of millions. If it can be obtained, it would be reasonable to exchange it for a palm-sized slice of olivine meteorite.
Mr. Wei laughed heartily. Li Mu's words seemed like fantasy to him.
A piece of top-grade imperial green jade can cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. How can it be so easy to buy?
He has been running a gambling stone quarry for so many years and has never seen one come out. No matter how talented this young man Li Mu is, he can't just open the top-level imperial green.
Therefore, he directly agreed and said:
"My little friend, what should I do if I can't drive it?"
Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile:
"If it can't be opened, I'll cover all the materials outside. What do you think?!"
