Ziqing decided to cut the glass-type apple green jadeite weighing about 60 kilograms and worth nearly 2 million yuan at the exhibition site.
Seeing that someone was going to cut a large rough material worth a million yuan, everyone in the exhibition gathered around. It seems that as long as there is excitement, there will be people watching, Ziqing sighed in her heart.
The man before even crossed his arms and stood there with contempt, waiting to see Ai Ziqing make a fool of herself. He could even imagine how dejected this girl would be when she cut it open and found that it was all white stone. Did she think that jadeite was so easy to cut? If it was so easy to cut jadeite! Wouldn't everyone be lucky?
Rejecting the stone-cutting master provided by the venue, Ma Yuxi sharpened the knife himself. Although he didn't have much hope in his heart, he still fixed the stone very carefully and cut it from left to right one centimeter at a time according to Ziqing's instructions.
The first cut! The white stone did not even have a trace of green light. Ma Yuxi's heart sank. The crowd watching nearby was extremely quiet, and the air seemed to be a little lighter.
The second cut! It was still a white stone. The crowd around began to whisper. The man who had ridiculed Ziqing before looked at Ma Yuxi's pale face and sneered, "It seems that the gambling failed. I have been in the industry for seven or eight years, and I have only produced a piece of colorless ice. Kid! This thing is not as easy to produce green as you think?"
An old man couldn't stand it and said in a deep voice, "Which gambling stone has not experienced a rise and fall? Why say these sarcastic words?"
The man seemed to be a little concerned about the old man. His face turned red and he kept silent.
Ma Yuxi looked up at Ai Ziqing and saw that there was no strange color on her face. He also admired her secretly and sighed in his heart: Even I was a little depressed, but she still looked light and light. If you don't know, you would think she was confident. In terms of this skill of nourishing qi, Ma Yuxi can only ask himself if he is not as good as him.
Calming his mind, he cut the third knife... When he cut the fourth knife...
The cut surface suddenly revealed a smooth emerald green, which was green and bright, making people salivate.
"Wow" the whole audience was in an uproar. "It's green!" "How bright?" "At least nine points of water" the crowd exclaimed.
The old man then stepped forward quickly, picked up a wet cloth and wiped it carefully, then picked up his magnifying glass and flashlight, shone it inside, and after a careful observation, his eyes widened instantly, "This... This is the old pit glass type! Authentic apple green, and it is full green!"
"Hoo", the surroundings exploded like a pot of boiling water. As long as you study jade, who doesn't know what the concept of old pit glass type full green is? A bracelet can be sold for at least 700,000 or 800,000! So what is the concept of such a large piece of jade raw stone? As long as it is not green on the skin! The value after opening will be inestimable!
"Miss, are you still going to cut this rough stone? If not, I am willing to buy it for 8 million." The old man looked at Ziqing and asked. Of course, he could tell at a glance that the girl was in charge of the stone.
"Since it has already started, of course we have to go all the way! Sorry, grandpa." Ziqing smiled and refused. She heard Ma Yuxi say that some people would stop selling after seeing green on the rough stone, and double their money to make a profit. It's like wiping a window for the stone. Although you can see green, you can't be sure whether there is green inside? Or whether there are cracks? Or how much jade is inside? This series of factors lead some people to sell it for profit. So the old man asked this question at this time, which is a very normal thing when gambling on stones. Even if the old man really buys it, he is taking a certain risk, otherwise how can it be called gambling on stones?
Although the old man was a little disappointed, he understood. He smiled and nodded, praising, "Young man, you are brave! I will cut it all in a while. If you want to sell it, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
Zi Qing nodded and thanked him.
Time passed by minute by minute. Ma Yuxi and two other masters carefully used a manual grinding machine to grind the stone manually. It took nearly an hour, and the overall jadeite was already revealed. The whole piece of jadeite accounted for two-thirds of the size of the rough material. The surface was full of green, transparent to the bottom, with sufficient water head and delicate texture! People will love it after seeing it!
"Hello, Miss. My surname is Xu, and I am the owner of Yulong Pavilion. Is this jadeite for sale? I am willing to pay 50 million for it." Someone handed Zi Qing a business card and asked.
Then someone raised the price again, "I'll offer 52 million, Miss, please consider it!" "55 million!" "I'm willing to offer 57 million!"
This price is really too low. According to her estimation, if it is made into a finished product and sold, the price will be more than 70 million. So she decided to sell it retail.
So Ziqing shook her head and smiled, pushed Ma Yuxi out and said, "Everyone has some misunderstandings. This Boss Ma Yuxi of 'Shiyuxuan' is the owner of this jadeite. If you want to customize any jewelry, you can contact Boss Ma yourself." Ziqing had her reasons for introducing Ma Yuxi in such a public occasion.
After all, if you don't want to disrupt your life in the future, you need someone to support the front. Moreover, introducing him in such an occasion where jewelry tycoons gather, one is to increase Ma Yuxi's popularity, and the other is to take the opportunity to make the name of Yushixuan famous. It is estimated that tomorrow's newspapers will publish words like "Yushixuan surprisingly found top-grade jadeite, worth tens of millions!" This should be enough to cause a certain gimmick, but she decided to add fuel to the fire at the last minute!
So Ma Yuxi was asked to move the white and violet jadeite raw stones onto the stone-cutting platform and decided to continue cutting the jadeite on site!
Everyone's attention was completely attracted by the apple green jadeite, so the work here had not attracted anyone's attention. Only the stone-cutting master followed Ziqing's instructions and carefully cut the jadeite. Everyone praised the first jadeite, and many ladies and collectors had already ordered various jadeite jewelry and objects from Ma Yuxi.
