The piece of jade wool was carefully placed on the ground. At this time, Dong Xuebin had time to take a closer look. The wool was gray, with some black stripes on the surface, and a small corner on the edge showed a hint of faint green.
, when I shined a light with a flashlight, it was very transparent and clear, just like a piece of cold ice. It was a serious type of ice. There were also traces of windows being cut by the cutting machine on other parts of the wool, but no green color was visible.
"Open now?"
"The check is paid, let's open it."
"Mr. Qu, I borrowed the cutting machine."
Looking at this stone, everyone was a little nervous.
Dong Xuebin is no exception. After all, he has not seen it with his own eyes and is not 100% sure.
In the room, Qu Yunxuan held the armrest of Dong Xuebin's wheelchair, her white and tender palms grasping it tightly, as if her heart was in her throat. Xiao Taoer clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and raised her head, speaking eloquently, as if she was praying to the sky.
What are you talking about? Teacher Wei was sighing there, as if he was very dissatisfied with the piece of material in front of him, and he almost concluded that it would not be able to be rubbed out before the knife was cut.
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Dong Xuebin said: "Teacher Wei, please open it."
Teacher Wei really couldn't bear to see the company destroyed in his own hands, and reminded him again: "Mr. Qu, it's still too late to regret it. If this piece of material is auctioned again, it should be able to sell for about 8 million, at least not
The compensation will cost you everything, but if you take the knife, it will be too late. You must think carefully about it. Now that the auction house is developing well, there is no need to take this risk!"
Dong Xuebin knew that Teacher Wei was telling the truth, so he remained silent.
Qu Yunxuan said: "Open it, I believe Xiaobin will not get it wrong."
Teacher Wei said: "But how can you tell when it comes to gambling on stones? A lot of it depends on luck!"
Qu Yunxuan smiled bitterly, "Mr. Wei, I know you are doing it for the good of our auction house, but in business, it is impossible to have smooth sailing all your life. When you encounter an opportunity, you have to take a gamble. If you can't open it, I will admit it. There is no way.
No regrets, if we really develop a larger ice sculpture, wouldn't it be even more powerful? With this money, we will develop faster in the future, and we don't have to look at other people's faces."
Teacher Wei knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he stopped saying, "Where should we go first?"
Qu Yunxuan looked to the side, "...let Xiaobin decide."
Dong Xuebin thought about it and said, "Let's start around the ice that opens the window."
"Okay." Now that he had decided to do it, Teacher Wei stopped whining and thought about it for a while. He lowered his head and picked up the cutting machine on the ground, inserted the latch, held it and walked to the edge of the raw material, and asked Xiao Taoer to cut it.
The wool turned over and was fixed, and then Teacher Wei lowered his head to find the position. Finally, he chose a position a few centimeters to the left of the exposed jade, pressed down the cutting machine and aimed it there to look at Qu Yunxuan.
Qu Yunxuan took a breath and nodded slightly.
Teacher Wei flipped the switch and the cutting machine slowly turned on!
The harsh sound immediately echoed in the room, and the wool was worn away bit by bit, isolating the ice jade next to it. After dozens of seconds, it came to an end, and no new jade extended here.
, the knife edge was full of gray impurities, which was a bad start. However, Teacher Wei had anticipated this happening and didn't pay much attention. He calmed down, continued to change positions, and started to operate the knife.
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
The reason why I chose to cut around the jade that had already been cut out was to see how far this piece of ice could extend. Jade is like other things, the bigger it is, the more valuable it is. If the whole stone is a piece
Ice-type carvings are undoubtedly extremely expensive, but if the whole stone only has a small amount of jade that can be seen on the surface, even if it is a good ice-type jadeite, its value will not be too great, not even a million dollars.
of.
One knife...
Five swords...
Ten swords...
When Teacher Wei turned off the cutting machine, the most depressing scene appeared!
They were really afraid of what they were getting. Dong Xuebin, Qu Yunxuan and others were shocked to find that there was nothing around the small piece of ice jade. The cutting edge of the cutting machine had already isolated the jade. Teacher Wei gently broke it with his hand.
He held the piece of jade in his hand and looked at the size. It looked a little bigger before it was cut. But in this case, let alone a bracelet, it could only be made into a pendant and a few small ones.
The necklace or ring is too small. This piece of ice jade is probably worth hundreds of thousands!
More than 10 million instantly turned into hundreds of thousands?
This huge gap is almost unacceptable!!
Teacher Wei sighed deeply, it's over, the company is finished now.
Xiao Taoer and Qu Yunxuan also turned pale. Only Dong Xuebin still held on to a glimmer of hope. He felt that this should not be the result. Aunt Xuan said very clearly on the phone at that time, how could this be the case? Dong Xuebin's face was also filled with confusion.
It doesn’t look good, “There’s still such a big piece of wool, keep going!”
Xiao Taoer deceived herself and said: "Yes, maybe the ingredients later will be good."
Teacher Wei knew that this was impossible, but he didn't say anything and continued to pick up the cutting machine and cut it down one by one.
One knife...
Ten swords...
Twenty knives...
As the wool became smaller and smaller, everyone's hearts became heavier and heavier, and finally they hit rock bottom.
The wool has long been reduced to less than one-third of its original size, but there is nothing in it except impurities!
Teacher Wei looked at Qu Yunxuan and said, "Mr. Qu."
Only she herself knows how much effort the Yunde Auction Company put into Qu Yunxuan. Seeing this scene now, Qu Yunxuan's head suddenly felt a little dizzy. Has the wool collapsed like this? Ten million is just gone? She and Xiaobin have to start all over again.
After a while, Qu Yunxuan couldn't accept it.
Dong Xuebin said angrily: "Keep driving! I don't believe it!"
Teacher Wei hesitated to speak, finally sighed and touched the cutting machine again.
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
Time passed minute by minute, and Qu Yunxuan and Xiao Taoer were just staring at the quarter of wool on the ground. Dong Xuebin secretly clenched his fists, God, my ancestors, stop making trouble.
Ah, that's almost it. Just give it to me quickly. This is all my belongings. If I let you go, I won't go bankrupt. How can I earn another 10 million to start a company?
Squeak, squeak, Teacher Wei stabbed down steadily again.
As soon as the cutting machine passed by, the sand and dust flew into the air, and they were all the bits and pieces of wool.
"Hey!" Teacher Wei was suddenly startled and blinked at the cut surface just now, "Something seems to have happened!"
The atmosphere is tense!
Dong Xuebin's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward as soon as he pushed the wheelchair. Qu Yunxuan and Xiao Tao'er also came over one after another. Teacher Wei was squatting there and wiping it with his hands. Xiao Tao'er quickly handed over a spotlight flashlight, and Teacher Wei took it.
Come over, lower your head and take a photo on the stone. Immediately, a tiny touch of green is exposed in front of everyone. After taking photos repeatedly, Teacher Wei's face finally changed color!
Qu Yunxuan didn't quite understand this, so she quickly asked, "What kind of green is this?"
Dong Xuebin couldn't see clearly from his angle, so he also turned his attention to Teacher Wei.
Teacher Wei took a deep breath and said in shock: "It's a glass species! And it's very green!"
"Hahaha..." Dong Xuebin slapped the armrest of the wheelchair, "I'll just say it!"
Qu Yunxuan also said excitedly: "Is it really a glass species?"
Glass species is the most exquisite thing among jadeite!
Teacher Wei touched the cut surface strangely, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The ice-type side at the beginning is broken, and the chance of other wool materials being green is almost gone. And even if it is, it should be ice-type or below.
How could there be a glass species of such a grade? The chance is too small, well, but we can’t be too happy now. This piece of jade may also be cross-sectioned. I’ll take it out to have a look.”
Qu Yunxuan said firmly: "We have come to this point! Let's go!"
Dong Xuebin rubbed his hands and stared at the piece of jade wool again.
After a few minutes, the jade was finally peeled off. Looking at this lush green jade, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. The most surprised was Teacher Wei. He kept mumbling "Why?"
With these words "maybe", I held this piece of green in my hand and looked at it, my mind was a little confused. Qu Yunxuan and Xiao Taoer were also fascinated by the green color, and they were surprised, happy, happy and surprised!
It’s a piece of glass jade!
But it is very heavy! It can definitely be made of material for two pairs of bracelets!!
Qu Yunxuan pinched Dong Xuebin's face excitedly, "You little thing is really good! You are really a glass type!"
Dong Xuebin said proudly: "That's right."
Little Taoer said blankly: "How much is this piece of green worth?"
Teacher Wei is the most authoritative person here. After hearing this, he said: "I dare not say for sure the market value of glass jade now. After all, it is rarely seen at auctions and few people will sell it. But if it really counts,
, Judging from the color and seeding of this piece of jade, one of the two pairs of bracelets should be slightly worse and could be sold for more than 10 million, while the other pair is much greener. The hammered pair of bracelets
, estimated to be nearly 20 million.”
Xiao Taoer was shocked by this number, "Ah? Does that mean the total is 30 million?"
Teacher Wei nodded affirmatively, "If it were imperial green, it would be more valuable. It's a pity that it's a little different, but it can be considered a good material that is rare in a century."
Ten million yuan turned into thirty million yuan in the blink of an eye. It was simply impossible to make any more money!
The room was suddenly filled with joy. Qu Yunxuan immediately asked Xiao Tao'er to put the jade into the safe. For fear of being stolen, she would go to the processing factory tomorrow to quickly punch out two pairs of bracelets, waiting for the jade next month.
It was the grand finale of the special event. Overjoyed, Qu Yunxuan also asked Xiao Taoer to call all the senior executives of Yunde Auction Company and have a group dinner in the evening to celebrate at the Shangri-La Hotel.
At this point, Teacher Wei no longer dared to underestimate Dong Xuebin, and even took the time to ask, "Mr. Dong, how did you see this stone?"
Through observation, I dared to predict that glass would grow out of wool, and the result actually happened. This already explained the problem. Teacher Wei felt that he might have some methods and tricks that others didn't know, so of course he wanted to learn them.
However, Dong Xuebin didn't know how to read gambling stones, so he mumbled a few words before he was fooled.
After dinner, Qu Yunxuan asked him, "Will the news be released?"
Dong Xuebin chuckled, "Of course I have to let it go, firstly to build momentum, and secondly to make Feng Yi angry."
Qu Yunxuan nodded his nose in a funny way, her tenderness clearly visible, "You are the only one with great abilities!" She greeted Xiao Taoer one by one and asked her to be responsible for announcing the news in the most conspicuous position on the homepage of the website.
When posting a picture, you don’t need to say much. You just write that two pairs of glass jade bracelets will be auctioned at that time. Just one sentence is enough to cause a small shock.
Thirty million yuan worth of stuff! It’s hard to imagine whether this Yunde auction will be famous!
With both fame and fortune, Dong Xuebin feels that his hard work these days has really been in vain!
Beijing Standing Committee Courtyard.
In a villa to the west, Feng Yi had just finished dinner at his uncle's house.
The company's development was booming, and the only one blocking the way, the Yunde Auction Company, was in danger. Feng Yi was in a very good mood. At this time, he was washing his hands with a few drops of hand sanitizer in the bathroom, and his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
, Feng Yi wiped his hands slowly, took out his mobile phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Feng, hoo, something happened!"
"Tell me slowly, what happened?"
"Just a few minutes ago, a banner was posted on the homepage of the Yunde Auction Company's website, saying that two pairs of glass jade bracelets will be auctioned at the jade auction in the coming days. This... if this is true, which pair
The impact of our auction that day was too great. Even if we collected a lot of ice pendants and an ice waxy ornament over one meter high, it can't be compared with the glass ones!"
Feng Yi's expression changed, "What happened? Bracelets? Where did they come from?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that it came from the piece of raw material I took the picture in the morning."
"What?" Feng Yi was suddenly stunned, "That piece of wool has glass seeds?"
"It should be, and this is the only way to explain it."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Yi's face turned green. That piece of wool was originally his must-have, but he gave up after seeing that the man named Dong Xuebin's bid was too harsh. But there was actually glass jade inside?
The weight is still enough to make two pairs of bracelets? How could this not make Feng Yi regret it extremely! If only he had gritted his teeth and paid more! Then the material would be his own! Feng Yi's face became more and more gloomy!
Dong Xuebin?
Qu Yunxuan?
Feng Yi originally planned to use the company's strength to suppress Yun De's auction and force them to change their lives. Who would have thought that things are unpredictable, but the other party actually put his side on the fire. Feng Yi's eyelids drooped, and he didn't think of letting it go.
, I have never suffered such a big loss in doing business for so long!
After walking out of the bathroom, Feng Yi was thinking about how to deal with them.
Let people from industry and commerce sit down?
Let the tax people check it?
Behind Feng Yi is Feng Xueliang, who can use many methods, not just commercial ones.
In the living room, Feng Xueliang, member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau, was drinking tea outside. Seeing Feng Yi's unhappy face, Feng Xueliang smiled and said, "What's wrong? Weren't you smiling just now?"
Feng Yi called his uncle and said: "Something happened in the company."
"Oh? Are you having problems with your business?"
"That's not true. Alas, there was an auction of jadeite wool this morning. I almost bought it. Who would have thought that a man named Dong Xuebin came out halfway and took the jadeite material away. In the end, I even sold one
Excellent jade."
Feng Xueliang felt that the name sounded familiar, "Dong Xuebin? What does he look like?"
Feng Yi was stunned for a moment, "It doesn't look like much. It looks quite ordinary. He has a popular face. He didn't pay attention to his height. He has been sitting in a wheelchair and it looks like he has a broken leg." Finally, he told his uncle what happened today in detail.
Feng Xueliang frowned, "Xiaoyi, don't touch this person."
Feng Yi's face was shocked, "Why? Do you know him?"
Feng Xueliang waved his hand, "Don't move if I tell you not to move."
Feng Yi stopped talking.
After a while, Feng Xueliang also saw his nephew's reluctance, and reminded him: "There is no deep hatred anyway. It is best not to mess with this kind of person. There are some things you don't know. The relationship between Dong Xuebin and Huilan is unusual."
, Huilan is one of the top figures in the third generation of the Xie family. If she had not been a woman, she would have become the leader of the third generation of the Xie family. What a pity." Although Feng Xueliang is not in the same camp as Xie Guobang, he is not stingy at all.
Thumbs up to Xie Huilan.
Feng Yi was shocked and said: "Xie Huilan?"
This name impressed him so much, "They have a close relationship? What relationship?"
Feng Xueliang looked at him and said with a smile: "Huilan had dinner with him alone, helped him transfer his job, and took him back home. Now Huilan is devolved to the grassroots level, and he chose Yantai County where Xiao Dong is. What do you think?
What’s the relationship between them?”
Feng Yi was stunned, "Can't you? You said they..."
"I didn't say anything." In fact, Feng Xueliang didn't know very well.
Feng Yi was as shocked as anything. He just felt that this thing was so damn unbelievable. Who was Xie Huilan? Feng Yi knew better than anyone else that he was a first-class person no matter in terms of background, appearance or work ability.
, she has a "very close relationship" with that Dong Xuebin? This is impossible, right? This is not a joke!
After leaving the Standing Committee's compound, Feng Yi drove home.
Ring ring ring, the phone rang, it was from the company.
"Mr. Feng, it's about the jade and jade special. Otherwise, I'll contact Shanghai to see if..."
Feng Yi finally sighed and said, "Notify all departments that the Jade Special will be held half a month ahead of schedule."
The person on the other end was stunned for a moment, "Huh?" Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Go and do it right away!" Feng Yi reluctantly put down the phone.
Feng Yi absolutely doesn't believe in the relationship between Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan, but if he doesn't believe it, Feng Yi still doesn't want to offend such a person. Even if Feng Yi has never seen Xie Huilan's strong nature, he has heard about it.
, he doesn’t have the strength to challenge Xie Huilan!
