I can see the depreciation rate

Chapter 228 The best of the best
"Can this rock of mine really sell for 500 million? Uncle, are you so rejoicing and confident?"

"Hehe, it's been about fifteen or sixteen years since I walked and gambled in stone rivers and lakes. I still have some confidence in this."

"Uncle mighty."

"Don't say that, in fact, the stone gambling industry not only pays attention to the sharpness of eyesight, but also pays attention to the accumulation of personal experience. You can learn the sound by playing a thousand qin, and know the weapon by watching a hundred swords. Every embryo stone, you want to read To understand its inner nature, one must understand the type, place of origin, hardness, dryness, humidity, color, crack trend of this ore... and the degree of damage it encountered when it was opened... Whether it is artificial forgery, you can tell at a glance I can tell."

While eating french fries, Yu Yao talked endlessly about a lot of anecdotes about betting on stones. Xu Zhen understood half of what he heard, but remembered everything.

"Uncle, if my ore is really precious, how can I get rid of it?"

The reason why Xu Zhen is willing to spend 8 yuan to fish Yu Yao out of the cage is of course not because he is rich and self-willed, nor is it because he is full of love. What he is interested in is Yu Yao's experience in gambling stones and antiques.Xu Zhen knew that this bloodstone must be expensive, and it would definitely involve selling it in the future. He was a rookie in these aspects, so he had to find an old Jianghu gang to take care of all this.As for Yu Yao's cautious tricks, Xu Zhen certainly wouldn't care. He has a system to protect his body, and he would be afraid of a little charlatan?

"Brother Xu, your jade is definitely a good thing. As for how to sell it and how much it can sell for, it depends on the specific condition. If the condition is good, I suggest that you better not go through the official auction channel."

"What?"

"There are many types of official channels, many processes, and mixed eyes, which are actually not safe. Precious things like gems are usually born with some evil spirits. Sometimes people don't have that life, so they really can't enjoy that blessing. I once knew a friend from Yunnan who found a piece of black iron in the western crater, and it was identified as a top-grade meteorite by experts. He wanted to auction it the next day, and guess what happened?"

"what happened?"

"At the auction house, when the auctioneer was about to swing the hammer, someone suddenly said it was fake. It turned out that it was really a piece of cast iron."

"Switched on the spot?"

"Isn't it? There are many people at the auction, and the masters are hiding their secrets. You may be outsold in the blink of an eye. Therefore, for a big bloodstone like you, I suggest that you find a strong one in private. Buyer, if you meet someone with the right eye, you may be able to pay a premium for this gem."

"But it's hard to find a buyer, right?"

"Don't worry, I, Lao Yu, have been on the road for so long, and I still know some big names in the antique world. Moreover, judging from the size, your chicken blood stone is definitely rare in the market at present. It can be called the king of stones. I still have trouble finding it. Not a buyer? To put it more strangely and mysteriously, a stone king like this is born with an invincible charm, and you can’t spend too much money.”

"According to what you said, uncle, my chicken blood stone is very likely to be the stone king among chicken blood stones. I thought it was just bronze."

"It can't be bronze, it's definitely the king."

Yu Yao grabbed two handfuls of French fries and put them in his mouth, then started chewing frantically.

Then, he asked Xu Zhen to drive a detour to B&Q, where he bought more than a dozen tools for "consecrating" gemstones, including pliers, files, rulers, saws, tweezers, magnifying glasses, brushes, and grinders. , Sandpaper... I even bought two pieces of medical PH test paper.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Yonghe Community.

Xu Zhen led Uncle Yu Yao into the house, and then took out the bloodstone wrapped in red cloth from the safe.Facing the chicken blood stone wrapped in red cloth, Yu Yao didn't say a word, just knelt down reverently, then made a few bows, and muttered words in his mouth.

Of course Xu Zhen knew that Yu Yao was speaking a long string of eulogies to Mr. Land, the God of God. Old people who gamble with stones like them, after being on the road for a long time, would inexplicably believe in Mr. Land and others. gods.They believe that before starting to consecrate each piece of jade, they should pay homage to the Lord of the Land, so as not to attract unclean things.

After the long eulogy was finished silently, Yu Yao smiled at Xu Zhen: "I'm sorry, these are the rules in the industry. Every piece of jade has a spirituality. Before we use the knife, we hope not to scare it as much as possible. "

"Understand, understand, let's start work, uncle."

Yu Yao nodded, put on his white gloves, and began to consecrate and peel the 20-jin piece of jade.Only by removing the rough stone skin attached to the gemstone, can he truly see the true face of Lushan jade.This is a technical job that requires extra care and super patience, just like an obstetrician performing a caesarean section, and needs to carefully take out a new life from the mother's body.

In the room, although the air conditioner was turned on, Yu Yao was still sweating profusely soon.When he entered the second half of the extraction of the jade fetus, every time he fell slowly, his heart was full of tension, excitement, and surprise...

Half an hour later, when a bloodstone full of blood finally appeared in front of the two of them, they couldn't help but look at each other.Yu Yao's lips trembled even more excitedly, and he held back for a long time before slowly saying: "Brother Xu, I feel...you are really going to make a fortune this time..."

"........."

Xu Zhen looked at the well-coated chicken blood stone, and couldn't help feeling a little excited.

"Uncle, what do you think of this chicken blood stone?"

Yu Yao took off his gloves, then moved his mouth closer, let out a hard breath at the bloodstone, then wiped it lightly with his index finger, and said three words: "Dahongpao!"

When Xu Zhen heard "Da Hong Pao", the hairs all over his body stood on end.

"Uncle, what do you mean, this piece of jade can be ranked as Dahongpao?"

Yu Yao nodded heavily, and while looking around the jade, he said excitedly: "It's more than that."

Xu Zhen's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.If the grade of this chicken blood stone can really reach the level of "Dahongpao" as Yu Yao said, he should really call the system his father this time.

Xu Zhen knows that the grade of bloodstone mainly depends on three aspects: hardness, blood color, and blood volume.

From the way Yu Yao worked hard to polish it just now, Xu Zhen already knew that this bloodstone is definitely a rare tough guy.

The blood color of bloodstone is often based on the standard of "fresh, coagulated and thick".And this huge chicken blood stone, the color is like pouring water, the color gathers but does not disperse, looks quite fresh.So much so that after Yu Yao perfectly stripped it out just now, he couldn't help singing "Why Are Flowers So Red" nervously.

What surprised Yu Yao and Xu Zhen the most was the blood volume of this bloodstone.

This bloodstone has sufficient HP on all six sides, at least over 85%.According to the evaluation of the industry, those with blood volume less than 10% are average, those with less than 30% are mid-range, those with more than 30% are high-end, those with more than 50% are treasures, and those with more than 70% are rare.Full red or six-faced blood is the best.The bloodstone with a blood content of more than 80% and Hong'er psychic is generally called "Dahongpao", and it is the best of the best.
