Almighty Appraiser

Chapter 404 How Difficult
"Is this rough stone worth two hundred catties?"

Liang Bingru couldn't help asking.

The middle-aged shop owner glanced sideways at Liang Binru and concluded that this person was an amateur.

He smiled and said, "It's less than two hundred catties, 180 catties."

Liang Binru said "Oh", pointed to a larger rough stone next to this rough stone and asked, "What about this one?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper glanced at Liang Bingru's fingers, and said with a smile, "That piece is almost four hundred catties."

Liang Binru nodded and said nothing.

In fact, she had doubts in her heart, why the price of two rough stones with such a big difference in size and weight was almost the same.

"Just as you said," Shen Yunfeng smiled at Liang Bingru, looked at the middle-aged shopkeeper and said, "handle the delivery now."

As he spoke, he handed the card over.

The middle-aged shop owner was overjoyed, nodded immediately, took the bank card with both hands, and quickly completed the payment of money and goods.

Shen Yunfeng handed the receipt to Liang Bingru, and said to the middle-aged shopkeeper: "Leave the rough stones in the shop first, and then send them to the stone-dissolving workshop together."

The middle-aged shopkeeper agreed with a smile.

Moreover, he also heard that the buyer named Shen Yunfeng was planning to buy a few more rough stones and open them together.

After leaving the rough stone shop, Shen Yunfeng explained to Liang Bingru: "Purchasing jadeite rough stones requires skill, among which weighing is one of the methods. By knowing the weight of the rough stones, you can judge whether the rough stones are true or not, or whether they are good or bad."

Liang Bingru smiled and said, "When I was in the store just now, I wanted to ask you why you didn't buy the heavy one, but chose the relatively light rough stone just now."

Shen Yunfeng nodded, and said as he walked: "Comparatively speaking, for rough stones of the same size, the heavier the weight, the tighter the inner crystals are arranged, the texture is finer, and it is more likely to produce high-quality jadeite."

"However, this is only a small factor in judging whether the rough stone will produce jade, and cannot be used as the main method."

Liang Binru nodded slowly, but she was still full of doubts in her heart.

Shen Yunfeng glanced at the rough stones passing by the two stores and shook his head secretly.

Noticing that Liang Binru was slightly in a trance, he knew that the mystery in her heart had not yet been solved, so he smiled and said: "Because many people are used to weighing the rough stones before betting on them, thinking that the heavier, the better. The jade ones are found inside." The more likely it is."

"Some unscrupulous businessmen seized on this mentality of stone gamblers and started to make fakes, pouring lead with a high specific gravity into the rough stone."

"In this way, those stone gamblers who are used to buying rough stones by weight will be caught. They buy the same but heavier rough stone. After cutting it, they will find that they have been cheated."

"Gambling with stones is similar to antiques. You can only accept your fate if you sell scraps or buy fakes by mistake. You can only blame your poor skills and bad luck."

Liang Bingru nodded "hmm", thinking that she had learned another trick.

While explaining the stone gambling skills and some taboos to Liang Pingru, Shen Yunfeng noticed the rough stones piled up in front of the shops or on the side of the street, occasionally stopping to look at them.

Finally, he discovered another rough stone that could produce high-quality jadeite, so he wanted to discuss the price with the owner of the rough stone, and Sun Bufan came over.

Notice that Sun Bufan's expression was unnatural, especially when he looked at Liang Binrufeng, his eyes were twinkling, and Shen Yunfeng felt something was wrong.

It's just that after Sun Bufan came in, he quickly devoted himself to the role of his guide, and didn't take the initiative to explain to Shen Yunfeng the reason for his uneasiness. Naturally, Shen Yunfeng would not deliberately ask Sun Bufan what he was doing.

Hearing that Shen Yunfeng spent 6 yuan to buy a rough stone weighing nearly 6 jin after he left, Sun Bufan said with a smile: "Master Shen, according to the final ranking order of last year's stone betting competition, your 180 yuan wants to be among the top For twenty, at least [-] million emeralds must be offered."

Shen Yunfeng smiled lightly, saying that he was not sure about the rough stone he bought, so he would definitely be able to get the jadeite.

Liang Bingru was stunned, because according to Sun Bufan, the No. 20 was the [-] times the profit, so you can imagine how difficult it is to win the championship title.

Shen Yunfeng took Liang Bingru to look at the rough stones piled on the ground one by one, but Sun Bufan didn't bother him, and went over to talk to the two bodyguards.

It was actually the first time for the two bodyguards to see the stone betting competition with their own eyes, so under the premise of ensuring the safety of Shen Yunfeng and Liang Bingru, the two also became interested in the stone betting.

After chatting with Sun Bufan for a while, the three of them became acquainted.

One of the two bodyguards asked Sun Bufan if there was a quick way to quickly distinguish which rough stones could be bought and which rough stones could not be bought.

Sun Bufan shook his head directly and said with a smile, "No!"

"If there is a quick fix, I won't have to work so hard.",

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of the two bodyguards, Sun Bufan thought for a while and said, "There is really no quick fix, but I can share with you two my experience in betting on stones for more than ten years and the skills I have heard about betting on stones. "

The two bodyguards immediately laughed and expressed their thanks.

Sun Bufan glanced at Shen Yunfeng and Liang Bingru who were carefully examining the original stone, and said to the two bodyguards: "The original stone must not be bought if there are two characteristics."

"The first feature is the appearance of the so-called 'skin-making' feature. Gambling stones usually look at the texture through a leather window. Some unscrupulous merchants take advantage of this feature. First, some jadeite materials are ground into sand powder, mixed in special glue, and finally Glue it to some raw stones that have a rough texture, and even have been cut to prove that they are resistant to goods, and re-disguise the natural seed material to make huge profits."

The two bodyguards nodded repeatedly.

Sun Bufan continued: "The second feature is 'dyeing and coloring'. There are many ways to dye and color the rough stone skin, such as chemically treating the whole rough stone and dyeing it with green fuel to make the skin of the rough stone The color turns green, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the grade of the original stone.”

"Others, the rough stones will be dyed and then partially faded to cause uneven color of the rough stones, but a particularly good appearance, which can also achieve the purpose of improving the grade of the rough stones."

"However, the most commonly used method of fraud is actually color injection."

Sun Bufan took the cigarette handed over by a bodyguard, sniffed it and put it on his ear, and continued: "First inject green dye into some raw stones with better water head but poorer color, and then seal the seal, but it will leave The next 'window' allows stone gamblers to see the green inside of the jade from the 'window', which invisibly creates the illusion that the rough stone has a high potential value, and the selling price naturally rises."

The two bodyguards beamed with joy, saying that they had benefited a lot, and thanked Sun Bufan for his generosity.

Out of the corner of Sun Bufan's eyes, he saw that Shen Yunfeng had been staying in front of a rough stone for a long time, and had been whispering something to Liang Bingru, so he greeted the two bodyguards with a smile, and walked over.
