Chapter 0967 – Gambling Collapse (I)
“Elder Tang, please help take a look!”
A pleading look appeared on Boss Zhang’s face, he was too embarrassed to say what he had just provoked Zhuang Rui to do, and now he could only count on Elder Tang to give some pointers, so that the second cut wouldn’t collapse.
“Little Zhang, do you really want to make another cut?”
Tang Lao froze for a moment at his words, he had already made his words very clear, he didn’t understand why Zhang Yunhui insisted on making another cut, but he had always been extremely good-natured, so he nodded at that moment, put on his presbyopia glasses again, and continued to look at the cracked lock.
“Looks like that young man has a few points of truth in what he said!”
“Nonsense, when Mr. Zhuang reigned supreme in the stone gambling circle back then, this surname Zhang didn’t know where he was?”
“That’s right! And Mr. Zhuang called the board, see, moved the stone stone their feet.”
Tang Lao’s remarks just now, equal to indirectly recognized Zhuang Rui’s evaluation of this piece of raw stone, for a time, originally Zhuang Rui’s jadeite raw stone appraisal level of people still have some doubts, have changed their tone, praise Zhuang Rui to come.
To say that the most difficult person in the field now, naturally have to count Zhang Yunhui Zhang boss, he did not expect his own provocative behavior, will bring such serious consequences, if the second knife cut down, then 60 to 70 million yuan not to say hit the water, but certainly to shrink a lot.
But now he is riding a tiger, if he does not cut the second knife, I am afraid that no one in the field will bid on this piece of raw stone, Boss Zhang glanced at Zhuang Rui, his eyes are a little complicated.
This thing he just want to blame can not blame on Zhuang Rui, others at the beginning is to repeatedly concessions, is the self inch into the foot, forced Zhuang Rui review, Zhang boss at this time the heart, that is called a tangled.
After observing half a day, Tang Lao beckoned to Zhang Yunhui and said, “Xiao Zhang, this piece of material is too long, I can’t see it, if you want to solve it, from the other end and then cut a knife to see if there is no green, this piece of material will be kept in hand first!”
The risk of betting on cracks is too great, that is, Tang Lao, generally will not lay hands on materials with cracks, this piece of material, although the outer skin performance is good, but Tang Lao is not very optimistic.
In accordance with the routine, the deeper the cracked locks, the greater the damage caused to the jadeite inside the original stone, but the cracked locks are too long, indicating that at that time when the jadeite was formed, the earth’s crust changes are very irregular, it is very likely that the jadeite that should have been bred, are weathered on the surface layer.
“Okay! Elder Tang, I’ll solve a cut as you said.” Zhang Yunhui found a few helpers and moved the raw stone, placing the other side under the gears of the stone cutting machine.
Although Boss Zhang was arrogant, he understood very well in his heart that if he was talking about his experience and level of stone gambling, he and Old Tang couldn’t be compared at all, and the reason why he had looked down on Zhuang Rui earlier was also due to the age factor.
Zhuang Rui’s face looks, is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, in two years ago, that is only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, just out of the university campus, naturally, will not be the long-time business bosses in the eyes.
Not only is Zhang Yunhui so, is the field of those who have not seen Zhuang Rui gambling stone, the heart of the same idea. This is like people go to the hospital to see the Chinese medicine, if the other side is an old man with white hair, then the patient will generally believe that the level of the doctor, on the other hand, if a young doctor in his twenties and thirties, I’m afraid that nine out of ten patients to run away.
Now there are many unscrupulous private hospitals in the community, specializing in inviting some white-bearded old man to sit in the town, not only hospitals so, some temples are openly recruiting hosts, the requirements is the face of the round ears, to have a blessed look. So this is the appearance of people, since ancient times, all walks of life are very common, but also is not unique to the rules of the gambling line.
Zhang Yunhui find a good cut point, hands holding the handle of the stone cutting machine, slightly trembling, this knife down, will decide the value of this piece of raw stone, but also decided that his trip to Burma is lost or earned.
“Click …… click click click ……”
The sound made by the alloy gears rubbing against the stone spread throughout the entire stone decomposition area, the white powder and crushed stone chips in the sky, fluttering in the air, the entire venue, everyone held their breath, nervously watching Zhang Yunhui’s action of decomposing the stone.
Zhang boss heart although nervous, this cut stone hand is still stable, about after three minutes, a piece of more than forty kilograms of side material, “snap” sound from the original stone, fell to the ground.
“Quick, quick look, out of the green yet?”
“Get water, get water to rinse it off.”
“Make way, get out of the way! Here comes the water.”
When the second knife cut, the onlookers of those jewelers, even more than Zhang Yunhui a few points of excitement, without being greeted, the end of the water of the end of the water, cleaning the cleaning, all busy.
To know, this piece of material the first knife performance, in addition to the piece of green, almost impeccable, high ice jade material, can already be called the high-end products of the jade jewelry market.
If this second knife can see green again, then the value of this piece of jadeite, at least to go up five times more, because it is two ends of the stone, two ends of the green, can not be ruled out inside the jade connected to the possibility that will appear a piece of sky-high price of jadeite to.
As the owner of the original stone, Zhang Yunhui in turn was squeezed to the periphery, he has been nervous at the moment not dare to see, pale face stood on the side, let those jewelry merchants people to toss.
“Che …… collapsed.”
Suddenly, a voice came out from the middle of the people surrounding the raw stone, like a heavy hammer hitting Boss Zhang’s head hard, Zhang Yunhui suddenly had some blackness in front of his eyes.
“Get out of the way, let me take a look ……”
Picking his way through the crowd of onlookers, Zhang Yunhui rushed to the innermost part, looking at the neatly cut surface, all of which was crystallized stone structure, even if there was not even a hair-thin green color.
“Collapsed, collapsed.”
Zhang Yunhui muttered and muttered, sitting on his butt on the ground, looking at the cut surface of the original stone without tears. The business that could have made a solid profit, just because of his foul mouth and his mentality of looking down on Zhuang Rui, led to the current result.
Suddenly, Zhang Yunhui seems to remember something, a bone from the ground climbed up, almost rolled to come to the front of the Zhuang Rui, said: “Zhuang …… Zhuang teacher, you give a look, see can still cut up not?”
At this time, Zhang Yunhui also do not care about face, face which has money to affordable and important ah! As long as the loss can be recovered, now is to let him give Zhuang Rui kowtow two heads, Zhang boss that is also willing.
Looked at Zhang Yunhui this pitiful appearance, although he was looking for himself, but Zhuang Rui also some intolerance, and then said: “Zhang boss, this …… I can not say ah! It’s just that your piece of material is large in size, although the other end did not cut out the green, there is no guarantee that there is no other place, I think, you’d better put the material away!”
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Zhang Yunhui’s eyes immediately brightened up, nodding his head and saying loudly, “Yes, yes, that cut is not even one-fifth of the original stone, I’ll make another cut from the center, and it will definitely be able to produce green.”
Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but smile bitterly at his words, he advised Zhang Yunhui to put the stone away because he was thinking that when this fiasco passed, it could still fetch a good price when taken to the country. You know, even if the second cut is broken, the performance of this piece of raw stone is still good, and there will be some jewelers who have more gambling spirit to make a bid.
But now Zhang Yunhui want to continue to cut, that can be the old star hanged – looking for death, two consecutive knife gambling collapse, this piece of material is estimated to only sell that cut piece of green price.
“Xiao Zhuang, what’s going on? Did you just review this material?”
While Zhang Yunhui was busy going to move the raw stone, someone beside him gave Tang Lao what Zhuang Rui had said just now, and Tang Lao then realized why Xiao Zhang in his eyes had to cut the second cut.
“Ahem, Tang Lao, I was also forced to do this! This Boss Zhang, is also too that ……”
Zhuang Rui spread his hands with a helpless face, these days there are too many people who want to stand out but don’t care about themselves, if this boss hadn’t come to mess with himself, would Zhuang Rui care about his business?
“Alas, young people nowadays are too impetuous!”
Tang Lao also sighed at his words, but with a straight face, he immediately said, “Xiao Zhuang, I’m not talking about you!”
Zhuang Rui waved his hand and laughed: “Oh, Tang Lao, I’m just lucky, I’m talking nonsense, you old-timers can’t praise me!”
“Xiao Zhuang your level of appreciation of antiques, many of my old friends can be taught, it seems that your appreciation of jadeite raw stone, is also a deep research ah! Find an opportunity we must discuss.”
Tang old man on Zhuang Rui really have a few points of curiosity, although he was born in the jade family, but for antique collection as well as foreign oil paintings, are quite a study, also has a lot of friends in this area.
Usually when talking about the topic of collection, Tang Zenan has not heard his old friends mentioned Zhuang Rui’s name, before this year, he has always thought that Zhuang Rui is the collection of experts in the circle, for the stone gambling, just good luck.
But after just this incident, Tang Lao has really changed his opinion of Zhuang Rui, as the saying goes, there is no false honor in the name, Zhuang Rui for the level of identification of the original stone, not necessarily weaker than their own.
“Tang old man, your words I can not dare to take, these days have time, but also to your old man to learn more about the knowledge of emerald!”
Zhuang Rui gambling stone, completely rely on the aura in the eyes, in the face of this nearly half a century have flourished in the gambling circle of the old man, the bottom is really not so full.
Han Haowei saw Zhuang Rui and Tang old in that mutual compliments, suddenly had an idea, said: “Hey, I say, Zhuang old brother you and Tang old can be the leading figures in our gambling circle ah, why don’t you two each choose a piece of material, how to test under the eyesight?”
“Han, this is a good idea!”
“Yes! Two generations of jadeite kings gambling on the same field, good idea.”
Zhuang Rui and Tang Lao talking, next to the perked ears to pay attention to a lot of people, Han boss this out, immediately some people shouted good.
