Fatty Qian on the side couldn't help but sweat when he heard this and stepped forward to ask.
"Brother Meng, do you want you to think about it again?"
Meng Yan waved his hand, stepped forward and picked up the rough stone from the stone cutter, looked left and right, then picked up a pen next to the stone cutter and drew about five centimeters from left to right on the rough stone.
A vertical line.
"Master, just cut along this line." Meng Yan said.
The master stone cutter picked up the original stone, looked at the line Meng Yan drew on it, and confirmed it.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Meng Yan nodded. "Sorry to trouble you."
Since it was so real, the master said nothing more, turned on the machine and placed the rough stone in front of the drill bit again.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
There was a loud noise from the drill, and there was a circle of people watching the excitement. Some of them had slowly turned their heads away, unable to bear to see what would happen next.
From their experience, such a small piece of rough stone looks so strange, and not all of it is jade.
With such a cut, at least half of the material must be scrapped.
The noise of the machine slowly stopped. At this time, the electric drill had cut to about 90% of the line drawn by Meng Yan, and the remaining layer of distance was the original sand.
According to the rules of the stone gambling shop, the buyer of the rough stone on this last layer must break it open in person.
Zhao Yuan looked at Meng Yan with a smile, made a gesture of invitation towards the original stone, and said jokingly.
"Mr. Meng, please!"
Meng Yan stepped forward and slowly broke open the piece of jade in front of everyone.
"Hahahaha! Let me just say, this layman has ruined such a good piece of material. This cutting method must be..."
As soon as Meng Yan broke open the rough stone, Zhao Yuan on the side couldn't wait to mock him, but before he finished speaking, he froze on the spot, looking at the rough stone in Meng Yan's hand with incredible eyes.
At this moment, the crowd of people watching around him also had the same expression as him.
Meng Yan knelt down and split the rough stone in his hand into two. At this moment, the small piece on Meng Yan's left hand side was filled with dark white jadeite.
As for the large piece on the right, the cross-section of the original stone emits a refreshing purple light, which shines brightly under the light.
Following the line drawn by Meng Yan, he not only cut off all the worthless jadeite, but also did not waste any jade flesh, and even protected the jadeite core.
Simply amazing!
Fatty Qian on the side rubbed his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
How did Meng Yan know that the jadeite in the original stone would spread to this location? And he accurately drew this line.
This cut not only showed Meng Yan's courage, but also showed Meng Yan's astonishing stone-cutting skills.
Fatty Qian estimated that none of the stone cutters in his shop could match Meng Yan's vision.
And the most important thing is that this person looks like he is in his early twenties?
"Boss Qian." Meng Yan threw away half of the small pieces of jadeite, stood up with the remaining purple eggplant jade in his hand, and asked Fatty Qian.
"Boss Qian, please estimate the price. How much can this piece of material be sold for?"
Meng Yan wanted to see if Fatty Qian's valuation was reliable.
But how could Fatty Qian dare to play tricks with Meng Yan at this moment? If he could cut out such a knife, he would probably cut more rough stones than he did.
"Since all the jade flesh of the rough stone in Brother Meng's hands has been cut off without any loss, the originally estimated price will definitely have to rise."
"The largest cross-section in the middle can produce a pair of bracelets, and there is a brand on each side of the left and right. In addition, the thickness is scattered, and you may have to deduct a few small ornaments. It must be worth seven or eight hundred thousand.
"
Meng Yan shook his head: "Boss Qian, would you like to think again?"
After hearing this, Fatty was very surprised. His eyesight may not be as good as Meng Yan's, but now that the rough stone has been cut and placed in front of everyone, the locations he mentioned are absolutely reliable.
Is it possible that Meng Yan can conjure up a few more bracelet positions?
"Brother Meng, although your eyesight is indeed very good, my friends here should have no objection to my cutting method, right? Although this piece of purple eggplant jade is beautiful, it really only costs 800,000 yuan."
Meng Yan smiled slightly, picked up the pen next to him, and drew a circle in the middle of the cut surface.
"Boss Qian, look at this circle, what does it look like?" Meng Yan asked.
Fatty Qian thought about it for a while, then his eyes suddenly widened.
"Brother Meng, what do you mean..."
"Hi!" Fatty Qian slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
"It's true that people are getting old and have forgotten this!"
"This is a complete jadeite core. It's much better to use this piece to cut egg noodles than to use it to carve bracelets."
"What on earth have you been talking about for so long? Why can't I understand a word?"
Zhou Yaoyao sat on the bench next to her for a long time and finally couldn't help but complain.
After all, she was the one who paid for the rough stone. Now a group of people are commenting on what she bought, and she can't say a word. She feels really aggrieved.
"Is this material valuable?"
"According to Brother Meng's cutting method, this piece of material must cost at least 1.2 million to stop." Fatty Qian said.
Upon hearing this number, Zhou Yaoyao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"so much?!"
"But Boss Qian, you just said that this piece of material is only worth 800,000, so what's going on?"
This issue has to be explained by Meng Yan.
Meng Yan on the side said.
"Usually, when a piece of jadeite is cut out, the jewelry ornaments that can be made from it can be roughly divided into three types, namely bracelets, card faces and egg noodles."
"Generally speaking, the bracelet is definitely the most valuable, followed by the cards, and finally the egg noodles."
"But there is actually a special situation. If there is a place in the jade that is of particularly good quality, such as the center of the purple eggplant jade on my hand, this place is called the jade core of a piece of jade."
"The value of an egg noodle cut out from a piece of jadeite core is actually much higher than that of a bracelet. However, this situation is very rare. Over time, when people pick out the location of jewelry, they will subconsciously consider the location of the bracelet first, and then the location of the bracelet.
It’s just the brand position, and finally we have the egg noodles and some unpopular leftovers.”
"Then according to what Meng Yan said, how much is the egg noodle cut out of the jade core from this raw stone worth?" Zhou Yaoyao asked curiously.
