Chapter 63:
Xie Shihua didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Mengyao and the others at this time. After all, they were going to move, and there would be opportunities to take away Liu Mengyao's gold finger in the future. Now, Xie Shihua was not nervous at all.
In the end, how to deal with this piece of jade, under Uncle Zhou’s suggestion, Xie’s family went to the largest jade market in the city, which is the legendary Gambling Stone Black Street. This year has just experienced a period of turmoil. The old antiques here are actually not very valuable, but the price of emerald remains high. After all, it is relatively easy to identify the authenticity of emerald, but if it is other ancient relics, it is really hard to say.
Finally, under the leadership of Uncle Zhou, the Xie family came to an emerald shop that was an acquaintance of Uncle Zhou. It also sold materials and finished products, which could be cut. When the store manager saw the emerald, he was stunned, especially when he heard After this strange experience, he felt that the Xie family was just out of luck.
A random stone found in the yard at home becomes a sky-high priced emerald. What is it if it’s not luck?
"I don't know if this material is going to be cut directly or slowly ground?" The store manager felt itchy after seeing this superb jadeite.
The so-called direct cutting is the simplest and crudest method, cutting directly along the veins of the emerald, and slowly grinding is to follow the opening and continue grinding around, and then slowly observe the situation inside, generally like Newcomers who play jadeite cut it directly.
"Old Wang, I see that the material is very good. The luster doesn't seem to be just one layer. I think we'll grind it slowly. I haven't seen such a good thing for many years. You have to be more careful. " Uncle Zhou said with a smile, happy for the Xie family. After all, the Zhou family has had a relationship with the Xie family for so many years. The Xie family is lonely. Although the Zhou family can help, they can't help too much. It is impossible for a literati to accept help from the Zhou family. Now that the Zhou family is very rich, this thing is still affordable.
"Yes, I'll just listen to Brother Zhou. Boss, just grind it out. We're all waiting here." The work has been settled, and Dad Xie is currently contacting the house over there. He's not busy right now. The Xie family Everyone was planning to wait here, and Mother Xie felt that something like a pie falling from the sky had hit her home, and she felt that her daughter was a lucky one, so she hugged Xie Shihua and did not let go.
As for Xie Shenghua... After hearing the value of this emerald, he was stunned, completely empty-headed, only the stones that his sister found in the yard can be sold for a lot of money...
It took quite a long time to grind the stone. Xie Shihua was talking with Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Xie was talking to Uncle Zhou. Within half an hour, the emerald noodles that came out had already surprised the owner, and Uncle Zhou had no time to talk to Mrs. Xie. Dad chatted and went to watch. Although Dad Xie didn't understand, he also understood that jadeite with this size can be sold for a lot of money.
This time, Boss Wang personally went into the grinding stone. He usually asks the masters below to do it. There are no cracks in this jadeite, so the price will be tens of millions, not to mention the size of the inside, if it is as big as a fist, then 50 million is definitely not worth it...
"I see this material, I'm afraid it will bring good business to my shop" Boss Wang said while trying to test it.
This is a relatively evil way of saying in gambling stones, that is, if a shop sells sky-high jadeite, then the materials in his shop will be looted by everyone. Boss Wang is like this, implying that Zhou Qiming, who is Xie Shihua's Zhou Uncle, he wants to say that the origin of this material comes from his shop, so as to increase the sales of the shop.
"Old Wang, I understand what you said, but we are all old buddies. If you don't say anything else, you should give some accurate words. We all know in our hearts that my brother doesn't understand anything, and he is guilty of committing crimes. If it is found at home, I am afraid that someone will go to his house every day. If you give me an accurate word, I will replace it for me. Brother Xie has made a decision." Zhou Qiming has been playing with these things for a long time and knows a lot. If this thing is publicized, it will probably cause a lot of turmoil. How can Xie's family be publicized? If it is said that this thing came out of Lao Wang's shop, everything will be easy to explain.
Xie's father was listening and understood Zhou Ge's words, so he immediately nodded.
"I listen to Brother Zhou for everything."
Said it was Brother Zhou, in fact Zhou Qiming was eleven years older than Xie's father, he was really not young now, and he took great care of Xie's family.
"That's all right, Lao Zhou, we've known each other for so long, and I won't lie to you, I can't eat this stuff in my store, and there are only a few people in this business who can eat this stuff, If you are willing to say that this thing came out of our shop, I will process it for free. You know our sculptors here are all famous sculptors. I can also contact you with buyers for free. If this thing comes out The value is even higher, and I can even set up an auction for you, when the time comes, the highest bidder will win, and you won't be given a commission, how about it?"
Lao Wang gently stroked the jadeite with his hand while talking.
In this case, whether it is Lao Wang’s shop or Xie’s, it can be regarded as a win-win situation. Let’s not talk about free engraving, let’s talk about this auction. Generally, jadeites are sent to the auction. 10 or 20%, now Lao Wang said that he does not take a percentage, which means that Lao Wang has a very wide network of contacts, so he can talk about holding an auction, and ordinary bosses can't do this at all. Things, this is enough to show that Lao Wang is optimistic about this jadeite, especially the more he looks back, the more he feels that the jadeite inside is definitely bigger than a fist...
"Hehe, it really is an old man. It's not in vain to misunderstand you. This thing, I thought of you when I saw it. Okay, let's see how big this thing is. If it doesn't work then, I'll get you something Things, you can auction them together." Zhou Qiming felt that the old man was indeed an old buddy, and what he said spoke to his heart. If it were ordinary jadeite, it would be fine to deal with it casually, but imperial green! That price is prohibitive. Even if many auction houses sell it, they still charge a lot of commission. Now that they hold the auction by themselves, the commission alone will probably save a lot. Zhou Qiming is very satisfied.
Xie's father didn't understand some of the connections, Lao Wang lowered his head and began to grind the stone again, Zhou Qiming also explained these things to Xie's father, and finally got the unanimous approval of Xie's father, especially after hearing from Zhou Qiming that the jadeite was extremely valuable At the time, he felt that this was absolutely possible.
As soon as Xie Shihua heard that an auction was going to be held, she immediately felt that she wished to get some more jadeite from the space, so after thinking for a while, she grabbed her dull brother and secretly bit his ear.
"Brother, this stone was found in our yard. Maybe there are still some in our yard. Let's get it and cut it. If we have it, we can make money. We're going to move anyway."
The dazed Xie Shenghua didn't expect his sister to think so, and then he was speechless.
"You think that this kind of good luck is picking up money on the side of the road. You can pick it up if you want. Although the pile of stones in our house has been around for so many years, it only came out with this emerald. How can there be any more? Don't dream"
When Xie Shenghua said that, Xie Shihua didn't listen, so he directly grabbed Xie Shenghua and said coquettishly.
"I won't, I'm going to take all those stones, brother, just help me! Okay, okay"
It feels good to have an older brother, Xie Shihua really feels that way, at least Xie Shenghua dotes on Xie Shihua very much.
In the end, Xie Shenghua still couldn't survive Xie Shihua. After telling his parents to go out, the two hurried back home. Yes, although Xie's family didn't have that much money, Xie's family had a motorcycle. It was very valuable, and soon the two arrived at home.
When we arrived under the big tree of Xie’s family, there was a pile of stones under the tree. In fact, these stones were useless. Xie Shihua just wanted to change the current situation of this family. Although the piece of imperial green was enough, no one would be too rich, right? ?
"There are so many stones, and we don't know which one is good. Besides, emeralds are hard to come by. Shihua, Uncle Zhou has already said that emeralds are enough for us to eat for a lifetime, or... let's not take them. Already?" Xie Shenghua still felt that his sister was unreliable, but when he saw that Xie Shihua was squatting there picking stones, he had no choice but to squat there and wait.
"Brother, go and get a basket. I'll pick it myself. Don't worry, I'll just pick a few. I'm not greedy." Xie Shihua instructed Xie Shenghua, intending to take out the stones in the space after Xie Shenghua left.
Xie Shenghua listened to his sister and went home to get a basket. Xie Shenghua first picked up a few stones at random, and then picked out three stones of various shapes from the space. The emperor's green color was selected by Xie Shihua along the way.
When Xie Shenghua came over, he found that his sister had picked eight or nine yuan, so he resigned to his fate and put the stones Xie Shihua picked out into the basket. He picked a total of thirteen yuan, which just filled the basket.
After picking out the stones, Xie Shenghua and Xie Shihua returned to Lao Wang's shop. As soon as they entered, they saw the overjoyed appearance of Xie's father and Xie's mother. After asking, they found out that the two had been together during the time they went back. The imperial green has been half worn out, and there are no cracks or spots inside. It is an imperial green that is bigger than a human man's fist. If there is no accident, this imperial green will be put up for auction, which is enough to shake the current jadeite world.
"Our family is lucky! Shihua, from now on, I will buy you whatever you want to eat and wear!" Women always pay attention to food, drink and clothing. Xie's mother is very excited now, and she will watch it later. I arrived at a large pile of stones brought by my son.
"what is this?"
Xie Shenghua was embarrassed by the question, and immediately replied.
"Didn't my sister say that we got our jadeite from under the old tree in the yard? I just wanted to see if there were any other jadeites, so I picked these."
Upon hearing this, Mother Xie was amused, and felt that her daughter was so naive. This kind of good luck probably only happens once in a lifetime, so how could she just have it?
As for Xie's father, he frowned. He thought he should be grateful for one good luck, but now Xie Shihua's 'greedy' behavior made him somewhat unhappy...
