Chapter 0379 – Purple Eyes (II)
“Geez! What color is this?”
Under the illumination of daylight. The deep purple color that was only the size of a cat’s eye that was exposed on the cut surface was like the eyes of a lover in the dark night, emitting a demonic light, pure as glass-like seed water, light that could be seen.
At this moment, all the women’s eyes in the field, were attracted by this small piece of jadeite, no longer able to move their eyes away, when Zhuang Rui continued to solve the stone blocked their line of sight, including Fang Yi, several women came to their senses.
“It’s Purple Jadeite, top grade Purple Jadeite!”
Elder Qin excitedly tapped the ground with the cane in his hand, with a hand that was at least twenty years younger than his actual age, snatched the other half of the jadeite raw stone from his son, scrutinized the jadeite inside that was hidden under the mist against the daylight, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
“I didn’t expect it! This piece of scrap that Elder Brother Zheng has kept for decades would actually have purple eyes present inside, what a surprise!”
After sighing for a while, Master Qin suddenly tensed his face and said to his several sons and grandsons, “This is something you guys just need to know, no one can say anything about it ah! I’ve dated Elder Brother Zheng for half my life, I can’t sweep him off his feet.”
Qin Haoran and others hastened to agree, if this matter is spread out, Mr. Zheng is indeed shameless, playing a lifetime of jade, actually will be a priceless treasure in the hands of the retention of decades, the last is to sell at a cabbage price, even if others do not say, that the old man is estimated to be angry will also spit on a mouthful of blood.
The crowd at this time no longer talk about the mood of laughter, all wide-eyed, looking at Zhuang Rui deciphering stone, along with the sound of the stone cutting machine, their hearts also rise and fall, for fear that Zhuang Rui a careless, damaged the superb purple jadeite.
But their worries are obviously redundant, Zhuang Rui just cut off the edges of the material to cut off, and then a little bit of sanding machine to erase those crystalline silk fog, to be that the yolk size of the purple jadeite keyed out, but also picked up the sandpaper, a little bit of sanding up.
This process took more than half an hour, a in the sunlight, exudes an endless demonic breath of purple jade, was Zhuang Rui in the hand.
Slightly larger than a marble purple emerald, more like a ripe purple grapes in July, through the thin layer of transparent skin, can almost clearly see the lines on the palm of Zhuang Rui. With the strength of the sunlight, this purple emerald also followed the emanation of varying shades of color.
If black can represent a woman’s mystery, then purple represents a woman’s charm, yes, this is a charming color, it feels like a Jiangnan woman gazing back, that ten thousand kinds of style straight down to the bottom of the heart, purple eyes, women’s heart of the saying, is from this.
“Too beautiful.”
At this moment, no matter it was a man or a woman, they were all enchanted by this alluring color, the purple haze almost enveloped Zhuang Rui’s entire palm, Zhuang Rui believed that if this purple emerald was thrown in a pot of water, I believe that the color of that pot of water would immediately become deeper and deeper.
“Xuan Bing, you hold it first, I’ll proceed to unravel that half of the wool ……”
Zhuang Rui smiled, although he had been practicing for the shortest period of time, but in today’s occasion, apart from Elder Qin, I’m afraid that it was Qin Haoran, who hadn’t seen as many superb jadeites as he had. Soon after returning to clarity, Zhuang Rui took this purple jadeite and handed it over to Qin Xuan Bing’s hand.
“Sister, show me ……”
“Bing’er ah! Give uncle a look ……”
“Good girl, let mommy look at it first ……”
The charm of this purple eyes is really infinite, just now in the heart of Zhuang Rui’s hand, these people in the way of face, did not have the heart to open, now to the hands of Qin Xuan Bing, but will Qin Xuan Bing surrounded, all want to take in the hands of a glimpse of the fast.
Zhuang Rui did not care about these people, but from the hand of the old man Qin took that half of the original stone, this time he did not use sandpaper to wipe the stone, but directly around the first excess stone cut, the two tightly together in the purple emerald, careful to take out the two egg yolk size of the emerald, the middle of the gap is very small, Zhuang Rui wasted a good assembly work, only to clean it out.
Start rubbing stone with sandpaper is relatively rough, Zhuang Rui and to Qin Haoran begged a few sheets of fine sandpaper, re-polished the three emerald all over again, so far, in the hands of that jewelry tycoon buried for decades in the hands of the very best purple eyes, is finally appeared in the world.
“I didn’t expect to be able to see this kind of superb jadeite when I’m dying of old age. Xiao Zhuang, you really have a great chance!”
Qin old man is also playing a lifetime of jewelry, all kinds of rare treasures have seen a lot, but like the purple eyes blood jade red as well as emperor green these emerald, decades are rare to see, so hand holding these three emerald, the old man is also sighing.
“Luck is just, the ancients said that the gods are difficult to break the inch jade, I am from not believe that the emerald has waste a say, so see not completely cut the material, always want to explore in the end. Oh, or good luck.”
Zhuang Rui at this time showed very calm, and not the kind of treasure ecstasy look in the eyes of others, more and more feel that this young man is stable, in fact, Zhuang Rui would like to show a bit of excitement, but he handled too much of the best emerald, any one of them, the value of not less than a few purple eyes emerald.
“Good, to be a person should have this kind of mentality to trace the root of the problem, however, small Zhuang ah! This piece of jadeite of yours, can you give it to us to make and sell it on behalf of us?” Elder Qin complimented Zhuang Rui, and then brought the topic to the jadeite.
Zhuang Rui froze for a moment at his words, he hadn’t thought about whether or not he wanted to sell this thing, but the old master’s following words made him make up his mind.
“These three jadeites are all polished into beads, and then with platinum, enamel and other crafts, they will be processed into a string of necklaces, whose value should be above fifty million Hong Kong dollars. If it can win the top prize by participating in the World Jewelry Expo, then the value will have to be doubled, that is, hundreds of millions of dollars, which is not impossible.”
Grandpa Qin stroked these jadeites with his hand, as an old designer who had designed jewelry for a lifetime himself, he was already sketching the style of its finished product in his mind, how to bring out this purple color, how to bring out the charm of the purple eyes.
“Grandpa Qin, it’s not worth this much money, is it? The pair of blood jade bracelets I sent Xuan Bing was just over 10 million dollars, these purple eyes are rare, but it’s not that expensive, right?”
The old man’s words let Zhuang Rui some move, this price than what he thought in his heart, to be much higher, but then also produced a trace of doubt, according to theory, blood red red and emperor green are and purple eyes of the same level of jadeite, the value of the value can not be so much difference, right?
“What? You still have a blood jade bracelet? Bing’er, where is it, bring it to me.”
The old master was taken aback when he heard that, it was Qin Haoran and the others, they also didn’t know that Zhuang Rui had sent a pair of blood jade bracelets to Qin Xuan Bing, that pair of bracelets Qin Xuan Bing didn’t wear it out, but put it in a box and hid it.
And Fang Yi heard Zhuang Rui’s words, the face becomes a little unsightly, but then thought, the heart also relieved, others are to marry their own daughters, but not on their own mother-in-law, send something of course, to be divided into a thin and thick with each other, and then that blood jade red is also extremely precious jadeite, maybe only that one pair of it!
Qin Xuan Bing originally did not want to take out the bracelet, heard his grandfather say so, some reluctance to return to the car, the bracelet out. Elder Qin looked at it for another half a day before reluctantly handing it back to his granddaughter, and of course, there was naturally a swarm of people over there asking to watch it.
“Xiao Zhuang, like just now that pair of blood jade bracelets, can only be called the very best jadeite jewelry, although it is also rare, very rare, but the jadeite itself, still has a market price. And these purple jadeite is different, to separate them into a necklace, but also to add a lot of other people’s precious materials, may also want to use like diamonds and other precious stones, if made into a necklace, then it is out of the category of the emerald itself, and collectively referred to as jewelry. The pricing of a piece of jewelry depends on the designer’s reputation, the uniqueness of the jewelry style, the preciousness of the materials used, which is to be considered in a comprehensive manner, so I would say that the price of these purple jadeite made into a necklace is far more than the price of this blood jade bracelet can be compared to.”
Seeing that his sons and daughters had gone to fight for that bracelet, the old man smiled bitterly and turned his head to explain to Zhuang Rui. If he was thirty or fifty years younger, he would have behaved similarly to his children, after all, they were all engaged in this industry, and their understanding of the rarity of this kind of superb jadeite jewelry was much higher than that of the average consumer.
“Grandpa Qin, then the rest of the expenses for making this necklace, roughly how much more money is needed?”
After Zhuang Rui heard these words from the old man, he intended to give it to Qin’s Jewelry to produce, after all, Qin’s Jewelry’s reputation in the industry is also very loud, second only to Zhou Tai Fu Jewelry, and it will also save himself a lot of trouble.
“This is to develop a complete design program, the materials need to spend how much money, now it is difficult to say, but this necklace is certainly with these purple jadeite as the main material, the rest are ingredients, should not be less than five million! Xiao Zhuang, or so, let’s talk business, this string of necklaces produced, if you can sell, we Qin’s Jewelry to take 20% of the selling price, the other 80% to you, and production costs and the cost of the ingredients, are counted in our share of 20% inside, you see how?”
After the old man finished speaking, his eyes looked towards Zhuang Rui with a slightly nervous expression.
“Hm? Sorry, Grandpa Qin, I’ll take a call first ……”
To say that the old man opened this condition, is relatively fair, Zhuang Rui was about to give the old man a reply when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, Zhuang Rui took out a look, is an unfamiliar cell phone number.
