Chapter 0485 – Betting Against Each Other (III)
“This hasn’t even come out green yet! Brother Hu, it might not be as good as your piece of material!”
Zhuang Rui laughed, but instead of continuing to rub the stone from the bottom, he changed the angle and took the stone rubbing machine and rubbed it against the center part of the piece of wool.
Although Zhuang Rui does not know how to carve the design, but he considered from the inside of the jadeite as a whole, it seems to stay that the base crystalline material, more like a jadeite tree, if the bottom of the stone is now rubbed off, then but can not be filled up.
Previously had said, before cutting this piece of wool, is not the day cursed Buddha, so bad luck, two knives are from the place where the green is only three or five centimeters, Zhuang Rui against the cut surface polished about ten minutes after the green emerald, was presented in front of the crowd.
“This …… this, how is it possible ah?”
Hu Rong at this time has been completely stunned, to say from the bottom of the solution with rubbing out the emerald, he can still understand, but Zhuang Rui casually changed a place. And still once cut, actually also rub out the green.
Out of the green place from the base of about more than ten centimeters, that is to say, this piece of jadeite should not be small, even if it is bean green seed, that is also than Hu Rong just solved out of the piece of material, worth a lot of money.
This makes Hu Rong’s old face some embarrassment, Zhuang Rui to such a piece of recognized waste to solve out the jade, that is not to say, their own Hu’s family inside, are some eye without pearl generation well, actually put such a piece of wool into the waste area to sell.
“Uncle Hu, this water is good, can to ice seed, this big brother is really powerful ah! Uncle Hu this piece of material I have also seen, feel like a waste, did not expect this big brother can solve out the emerald to, admire, really admire ……”
That little king in the side after rubbing out the green, immediately rinsed with water, that only reveals the size of a matchbox jade, green, along the emerald downward sliding water droplets, seem to have turned green.
“Oh, I have a stubbornness in this person, and often I can’t live with myself. After seeing this ringworm, not to unravel this material, the heart is not good, luck, it’s all luck, not as good as Hu big brother who bets up all by his eyes.”
Zhuang Rui saw Hu Rong’s face suddenly became a little ugly, thought he won let him heart unhappy it, how do he know, Hu Rong is now unhappy is, their own large a family of people, on the eyesight actually no one can match Zhuang Rui’s. The material, the seed and water, the material, the material, the material, the material, the material, the material, the material, the material, the material, the material is not good.
Look at this piece of material seed water has been color, a rough estimate, this piece of wool in the jade, its value is at least in more than ten million, Hu’s family treats it as a waste behavior, to put it nicely called look away, to put it bluntly, that is open-eyed blindness.
“Older brother, don’t put gold on the face of old brother, this gambling stone together, I am really not as good as you. I’m afraid that the Yunnan’s ‘Jade King’ to come, is not as good as you, we have this bet, old brother is lost.”
Hu Rong is not reluctant to give up this money, but feel that they wear crotchless pants from playing gambling, decades of work actually not as Zhuang Rui, face a little shame, but the little king and Zhuang Rui words, gave him a step down, and then flattered Zhuang Rui a few words, these few words to admit defeat, said is also convinced.
Onlookers heard Hu Rong words, are a face shocked to look at Zhuang Rui, they did not think Hu Rong on Zhuang Rui’s evaluation, will be so high, in the gambling circle, “Jade King” who has not heard of the name, Hu Rong even said “Jade King” is not as good as Zhuang Rui, this is definitely big news when it comes out. This is definitely big news.
“Brother Hu, you see this piece of material?”
“Of course it belongs to you, I still can afford to lose this thing.” Hu Rong interrupted Zhuang Rui unpleasantly.
Zhuang Rui smiled and cried, “Brother Hu, I’m not talking about this, I’m asking if this piece of material still continues to be solved?”
Hu Rong circled around the raw stone and said, “Unravel it! It’s not good to carry it this big ……”
“Good ……”
Zhuang Rui agreed, picked up the stone rubbing machine and continued to solve it, but the emerald in this raw stone is more complex, is in the shape of a tree, and in some places. Also mixed with poorer quality jade, Zhuang Rui deciphered the stone very slowly.
“Older brother, let me solve it!”
After more than an hour, Hu Rong took over the sander in Zhuang Rui’s hand, he also did not expect that the jadeite in this piece of wool would be like this? More than an hour, only rubbed out four or five centimeters of green out, and has been extending downward.
If there is a fault, then you can cut a knife, but the original stone in the emerald is a whole, Hu Rong did not dare to say under the knife to cut words.
To know, the carving of jadeite ornaments, often based on the shape of the jadeite itself, in case the material in the jadeite shape is good, then a knife will give cut down, so that its value greatly reduced.
Hu Rong in the grinding wheel polishing the original stone, obviously to be more careful than Zhuang Rui, as long as it is out of the green or with other colors, he is skipped continue to rub down.
In this way, Hu Rong decomposition efficiency than Zhuang Rui is even lower, and after more than an hour, it is already more than 9:00 p.m., the crowd of onlookers has long been dispersed. Only the boss of this processing plant, Wang, is still watching from the side.
Zhuang Rui saw Hu Rong’s head full of big men, still refused to rest, but could not help but go forward and say: “Hu big brother, or else tomorrow to solve it? The mine should also have a machine to unravel the stone, right?”
“No, we need to solve it today, the shape of this piece of material is very unique, look, this side actually has two kinds of red and yellow chalcedony, with this green cui, it can carve out a jadeite bonsai. Wonderful thing in heaven ah!”
After Hu Rong heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he stopped his hand, although there was a tired look on his face, but his spirit was very exuberant, that is, when he was talking, he was still looking at this raw stone with glowing eyes.
Hu Rong himself is a jewelry designer, his love for jewelry design, even beyond the management of the family business, and still concurrently serving as the design director of a jewelry company in Taiwan, at this moment to see this superior quality, unique shape of the jadeite, of course, is to be all unraveled for a quick look.
“Oops, forgot that old brother you also take a plane today, really sorry, or I first call the car to send you back to the hotel to rest, I will unravel it today ……”
Hu Rong suddenly remembered that Zhuang Rui was just rushed over from Rangoon today, and when he arrived in Mandalay, he was dragged around by himself, and this clock is the time to rest.
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said, “It’s okay, Brother Hu, I’ll accompany you! The two of us will switch hands to solve it, the speed can still be faster ……”
Received Hu Rong’s hand sander, Zhuang Rui changed a grinding wheel piece, came to the original stone side friction up, Hu Rong this more than an hour is also tired not light, at the same time did not modestly, lit a cigarette and sat down next to the side to rest.
Although Zhuang Rui accounted for the eyes can see the inside of the cheap stone, but in dealing with the emerald place, is still to be careful, because some of the open fork of the emerald is very fine, a little inattention may be those forked rub off, so his action is not very fast, in more than an hour later, only to solve out one-third of the emerald.
During the Zhuang Rui received a phone call from Peng Fei, Peng Fei afraid of Zhuang Rui out of something, also rushed to the processing plant. Look at Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong alternately decryption, until nearly one o’clock in the morning, this piece of material inside the emerald, only all revealed the true face.
Because it is the night to solve the stone, the light is not very good, in a few indistinguishable places, and did not rub in, but the whole piece of jadeite outline, has been completely revealed.
This piece of jadeite about twenty-five centimeters high, tree trunk-shaped, up and down are as thick as a thumb, in the middle of the four bifurcations, rare, each fork, there is a worm-like red and yellow Fei.
Place it under the strong light, from a distance, the whole piece of jadeite is like a bonsai dwarf tree surrounded by colorful light bulbs, through the white crystals on the trunk of the tree, in the light of the whole body exudes an attractive luster.
“This …… this, really strange thing heavenly ah, Zhuang old brother, this thing to stay ……”
Hu Rong’s eyes have all been attracted by this piece of jadeite, his mouth muttered, where there is still a trace of Myanmar jadeite tycoon’s demeanor.
“Brother Hu, if you like it, just keep it.”
Although Zhuang Rui was a little heartbroken, but Hu Rong opened his mouth to ask for it, he couldn’t refuse it!
After Hu Rong heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he froze for a moment and waved his hands, saying, “No …… no, not that, I mean, this piece of emerald will be carved by me, and when it’s finished, I’ll give it to you, and the thing, it’s still yours.”
Hu Rong paused for a moment, then said, “This thing carved out, the value of at least one hundred million yuan above, old brother, you this eye, old brother I am now considered convinced.”
“One hundred million? It can’t be that expensive! This is only ice type material ah!” Zhuang Rui was a bit surprised by the price Hu Rong said.
“At least 100 million, this kind of shape of the jadeite, is too rare, and these jade bugs, that is the icing on the cake, ice kind of material has been very good, old brother, some people who play with strange stones, look at is the shape, for the material is not very much on the heart.”
Hu Rong around this almost heavenly emerald tree non-stop circle, eyes show fervor.
Zhuang Rui also do not want to fill the big head, this material is originally their own solution out, why not ah! At that moment, the water pushed the boat said: “into, Hu big brother, that will be handed over to you to deal with.”
After seeing Zhuang Rui agreed, Hu Rong called the caravan driver who has been waiting outside, carefully put this piece of emerald into the car, and then sent Zhuang Rui back to the hotel, arranged to go to the mine at noon tomorrow.
After entering the hotel room, Zhuang Rui found Peng Fei staring at himself, strangely said, “Peng Fei, go take a shower! Looking at me to see?”
“Brother Zhuang, I went out to get this today, you put it away ……”
Peng Fei smiled mysteriously and took out an object from behind his waist, giving Zhuang Rui a shock.
