Chapter 0204: How Close Heaven and Hell Are
When the surface green color of a piece of jadeite raw stone. That is, the pine flower, in the epidermis is presented in the form of a line or a group, especially when the epidermis reveals a symmetrical dispersion of the green line, its green will be extended to the interior, and even through the entire piece of raw stone, such a wool, is the very best of the raw stone, generally can be gambled on a big rise.
This kind of wool, refers to the outer skin performance of the raw stone, through the performance of the skin layer, you can observe the direction of the jadeite inside the raw stone, but Xu Zhendong spent more than 30 million to buy this piece of raw stone, now the performance, but it is very strange.
The outer layer of this piece of raw stone, there is no obvious pine flower and python pattern, according to common sense, the chances of green is very small, but the two windows opened out of the green, and is a very high quality of the ice kind of yang green, coupled with the opening of the two skylights and the symmetry of the front and back, which will make people mistakenly think. This green will run through the entire stone.
But Master Zhao, with his experience, felt a hint of something wrong, this piece of wool looks like it has gone through a second weathering, if this is the case, then it is pretty much guaranteed whether or not the green will come out underneath this layer of emerald.
“Elder brother Zhao, what’s wrong?”
Xu Zhendong also knows how to appraise the jadeite raw stone, but not very professional, after seeing Master Zhao rubbing out the green again, his first reaction was the same as Xu Wei’s, that is, this piece of wool must have risen greatly.
“It’s not easy to say now ……”
Master Zhao reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, the wool actually how, he is not sure now, can only continue to solve the next.
Along with the grinding wheel and stone friction sound, this piece of wool is also gradually revealed in front of the crowd.
The whole piece of wool skin, has been wiped away one-third, and in the exposure of the stone layer of this one-third, actually all out of the emerald, in the processing plant workshop under the light of incandescent lamps, exudes a tempting and deep light, the most rare is that this piece of emerald color were extremely well-proportioned, the seed water is similar, basically all reach the ice seed.
“Counselor Zhao, really good eyesight ah! Such a large piece of jadeite, it is estimated that at least thirty pairs of bracelets can be taken out. Mr. Xu, you are going to pay out a bonus!”
“Yes! With this piece of jadeite, we are going to be busy, we must increase our bonus.”
Some of the carving masters from the Jade Factory would have gathered around, and some of the more qualified carving masters among them had spoken out and joked with Xu Zhendong and the others.
“Good to say, good to say, this weather is relatively hot, turn around I first let people in the workshop and then installed two power air conditioning, such as this piece of jadeite decoded, then also count on all the masters it!”
Xu Zhendong face full of smiles, to all around the arch salute, to say that the emerald raw materials is the company’s end of the sales business guarantee, then these carving masters, is a jewelry company’s cornerstone, weekdays live less time, Xu Zhendong to these people are enlisted, and now even more will not be petty.
To know, a piece of jadeite jadeite faceted into objects, is to go through a series of processing procedures. If the time is short, it will take three to five days, if the work is fine, then three to five months out of an object, is also very normal.
In ancient China, there was already a set of procedures, the Qing Dynasty jade carving procedures are pounding sand, research pulp, open jade, tie the crucible, punch the crucible, grinding the crucible, hollowing out the hall, on the flower, drilling, through the flower, wooden crucible, leather crucibles, and other processes, much more mature than now, because some of the skills of the present generation has been lost.
In modern times, the jade processing procedure is generally divided into four stages: material selection, design, faceting, and polishing, each of which has a certain content.
Selection of materials needless to say, Master Zhao is now doing this thing is, and design work throughout the production of jade throughout, because jade products are not stereotypes generated line down the product, each piece has a certain change, the designers will be based on the characteristics of the jade material design modeling, so that the shape of the comfortable, smooth and popular.
But ultimately will jadeite carving out, or these craftsmen, how according to the texture of the material, luster, color, transparency and other characteristics, to highlight the different characteristics of the jadeite material, to play out the jadeite jadeite warm and cold characteristics, these work, the designers can not be completed, must rely on these craftsmen masters of cutting jade.
More importantly, in the modern world, craftsmen are no longer rare. So in every jewelry company that integrates jade production and sales, the carving masters are the most valued, and many companies even offer high prices to poach each other.
The two people who spoke just now are the carving masters Xu Zhendong spent a large sum of money to hire from Yangzhou, the jade carving skills are very exquisite, after this piece of wool is solved, it is definitely to be carved by these two people.
These months, due to the lack of high-grade wool, these carving masters are also very idle, but Xu Zhendong also good food and drink for, after all, these carving masters once lost, and then want to invite back can be difficult.
As for this piece of wool, Xu Zhendong is now in the heart is no doubt, sitting in his position, a variety of wool have seen a lot, like this piece of wool performance, is certainly a block of emerald, and than they previously expected to be a lot bigger.
“According to this current situation, at least it can be solved about forty million dollars worth of bright material, the back of this half a year of high-grade goods should not be a problem, wait for next year’s January, and then go to Burma to participate in the gambling!”
Xu Zhendong looked at the green wool under the hands of Master Zhao. The heart is indescribable pain, these months has been plagued by their own problems, now finally solved, and his energy can also be put into the development of the company.
High-grade stone rubbing stone must be very careful, because as long as the hand is a little unsteady, grinding wheel grinding in the emerald surface, then the loss can be big, so this after more than an hour, Master Zhao is still only out of two thirds, this piece of stone weighing more than fifty pounds, at the moment it is like a beautiful woman wearing a veil. Revealing an exceptionally beautiful carcass.
“Old brother Zhao, take a rest first! Xu Wei, why don’t you bring your Uncle Zhao some water over here ……”
Seeing the sweat on Master Zhao’s face dripping uncontrollably from his forehead, Xu Zhendong hurriedly stopped him from continuing to decode the stone downwards, letting Master Zhao onto a chair, Xu Wei hurriedly handed over a towel and a drink.
Waiting for Master Zhao to ease his strength for a while, Xu Zhendong spoke out and asked, “Older brother, you can basically see it now, right?”
“It seems like there’s not much of a problem, this piece of wool is still quite a bit higher than the price we purchased it for ……”
Master Zhao this will also rest assured, a piece of wool solved two thirds, almost the whole body turquoise, although in the connection mixed with a lot of white cotton, but does not affect the direction of the whole jadeite, and now Master Zhao has to consider, has been how to cut this piece of jadeite, how to maximize the benefits of it.
Xu Zhendong heard Master Zhao’s words, mood, twisted his face to the side of the standing Xu Wei said: “Xu Wei, turn around, you go to visit that surnamed Zhuang’s, it is appropriate to solve the grievances should not be tied up, ah, other people have given us such a big benefit, we also have to be a large number of some.”
Xu Wei froze for a moment at his words, wasn’t this asking him to go apologize to Zhuang Rui?
“Eldest uncle, this …… this isn’t quite right, is it?” Xu Wei was full of reluctance, that bumpkin was just a bit lucky, was it worth his while to befriend him?
Xu Zhendong tensed up his face and said unhappily, “Inappropriate? What’s the matter, do you want me, an old man, to go in person to make it appropriate?”
“Alright! I’ll go ……,” Seeing Xu Zhendong fuming, Xu Wei nodded his head in agreement with a helpless face.
“You! Are just too high-minded and proud, can’t see others being better than you, Xu Wei, this fault has to be changed, otherwise you’ll suffer big losses in the future.”
Xu Zhendong was still relatively optimistic about this nephew. Although it also carries some of the faults that young people often have, it is still much better than those few boys in the family who only know how to eat, drink and play with women all day long.
Seeing that Master Zhao had begun to continue deciphering the stone, Xu Zhendong didn’t say anything else and turned his gaze to the piece of wool above.
“Hm? White cotton came out?”
The sander in Master Zhao’s hands stopped, and Xu Zhendong and Xu Wei hurriedly came up to take a closer look, and couldn’t help but both let out a sigh of relief.
It was impossible for a large piece of wool to be all jadeite, and even if the rest of this was all crystallized, the impact wouldn’t be great.
“Mr. Xu, I think we’ll just pull out the white cotton from these places that have come out! Solve out half of the material first, and the rest can be put away.” Master Zhao gave his opinion after observing for a while.
“Alright, old brother, you’re the expert, just take the idea for these things.”
Xu Zhendong waved his hand, if he didn’t want to see the final result, he was now planning to leave, after all, the president of Xu’s Jewelry, there were still a lot of things to do.
Master Zhao’s tired face at this time, also showed a trace of excitement, after all, a piece of heavenly priced jadeite from his hands to see the light of day, this is also a great honor.
Just after more than ten minutes, with the original stone white cotton at the scattered crystalline particles, constantly falling off from the wool, Master Zhao’s face gradually became ugly, to know, now has pulled out to the whole piece of wool in one-third of the actually did not appear emerald, all of which are those abominable gray-white crystalline particles.
Xu Zhendong also found this point, do not care about the fluttering debris, came forward, stared dead center at the wool constantly shedding debris, originally because of the noon drink a little wine and red face, little by little become white.
Another half an hour or so passed, appeared in front of the crowd of this piece of wool, the center has been completely hollowed out, like a garlic mortar general inward concave a big hole, and like a big mouth, in a wordless mockery of the field of the crowd.
Just half an hour, Xu Zhendong is like from heaven to hell, the huge psychological gap makes his heart strangled up, in front of his eyes there seem to be countless Venus in the flashing, ears rumbling like in the general thunder, originally squatting in the body, noiselessly slid down to the ground.
As for Xu Wei at this moment, he was grasping Master Zhao, who was almost paralyzed on the ground with both hands, and shouted in a hoarse voice: “This is impossible, this is impossible! How could this be, surnamed Zhao, didn’t you say that this piece of wool must be a big rise?”
