Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran said: "I have been exposed to professional stone dissection machines in Beijing before, believe me."

The clerk shook his head: "No, if you break the machine, I can't explain it to the boss."

These days, machines are all imported from abroad, and they cost foreign currency, which cannot be purchased domestically.

If the machine is damaged, experts will have to be brought in from abroad to repair it.

Therefore, the unwillingness to lend the machine to others is not because of stinginess, but because the cost is too high.

At this time, Chen Cheng said: "Don't you believe me? Call the boss over."

His tone was full of dominance.

In fact, the clerk also knew that the boss was very polite to Chen Cheng just now. It was not difficult to see that he was a big customer of this store and someone who could not afford to offend.

As for Lin Ran, he took it for granted that he was Chen Cheng's follower, so he didn't take it to heart at all.

"That's not good."

Chen Cheng walked straight to the machine, turned on the machine, and said to the clerk with a smile: "Go and tell your boss that if the machine breaks down, I will compensate for the cost."

The clerk was speechless. After all, he was just a part-time worker. He only had to be responsible for the conversation between the bosses.

He nodded and left the operating position of the machine.

"Brother Lin, are you sure you know how to use it?" Chen Cheng asked in a low voice. He took the initiative because he believed in Lin Ran's ability and did not want his stone to be damaged in any way.

However, he knew that Lin Ran was very good at history and treasure appraisal, but it was hard to believe that he could even operate such an advanced machine.

Lin Ran was of course not a bad person. He came to the control panel of the stone machine.

Today's operation panel is not like computers in later generations. You can directly start the machine by setting the above.

He also studied it for a long time, and it was all in English, but it was not difficult for him.

There are many button angles on the control panel, which are used to set the cutting direction and cutting angle. In fact, even Lin Ran, let alone the clerk, found it a bit difficult to operate.

After all, it is the first time to operate, so it is inevitable that you will be a little nervous.

However, he finally figured out the routine. After setting the parameters, he pressed the on/off button.

With the piercing sound of a chainsaw, the stone-breaking machine began to work.

Chen Cheng and the clerk breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. At least they didn't have to worry about the machine having problems.

An extremely uncomfortable sound came from the machine, which sounded uncomfortable.

The clerk said at this time: "It will take 20 minutes to cut this stone. We can go to other places."

"Just put the machine here. What if the things are taken away by others?" Guan Yun asked.

"Haha, once the machine is set up, you cannot open the hatch at will. If someone opens the machine at this time, the machine will stop running and that person will be arrested by our security guards."

Only then did Lin Ran notice that the Jieshi area they were in was still far away from the Jieshi area just now. They were obviously distinguished guests.

Other ordinary customers can only pay for artificial stone removal.

Artificial calcite is also part of the shop's income.

Listening to the buzzing sound of the machine always makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

So they all decided to go somewhere else and find the clerk if something happened.

They then went to other districts to see if any precious jadeite could be found.

However, it seems that this store is not very lucky. The most expensive ones it sells are just some ordinary jadeite, which is not worth a lot of money.

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the machine to open the window.

They returned to the machine. The sound of the chainsaw inside gradually disappeared, and the red button outside turned green.

The clerk carefully pressed the button, and then the hatch opened. A burst of dust immediately ignited inside, making Lin Ran feel a little uncomfortable.

Soon after, the clerk took out a piece of jade that had already opened the window.

"Not bad! The color is very green, but the water level is a bit poor." The clerk's eyes lit up when he saw that the stone was cut into this shape. He had given up hope.

But I didn't expect that the young man in front of me was quite capable and could roughly guess the shape of the jadeite inside.

Although this piece of wool has become a semi-gambling material, it has already seen green, at least it will not lose money.

Soon after hearing this, people gathered around and started pointing at the stone.

"Little brother, can you sell this material? I'll pay 500 yuan for it."

"500? I think this should be the oil-green variety. It should cost at least 800 yuan."

Chen Cheng also smiled when he heard their conversation.

These people hang out in the stone gambling den every day, so they naturally know the prices here very well.

They offered a price of 800 yuan, and the average cost of buying the stone was only about 100 yuan.

This is just the price of wool. After it is processed into jewelry, the price will double.

The profit was not much, but it was a good fortune. The first stone turned green, and there were more than ten more after that.

Compared to Chen Cheng's excitement, Guan Yun scratched his head in confusion.

"What is Youqingzhong?"

There are many types of jade, but they are usually divided into four types based on color.

The first type is dry green, which is the most common type of jade.The color of dry green jadeite is light green or light cyan, and the jade quality is delicate, but it has too many edges and corners, making it less likely to bloom, and its value is relatively low.

The second type is bean green jade, which is very similar to dry green jade, but is darker in color and does not have as many edges and corners as dry green jade.Bean green jadeite usually appears dark green, does not change much in color, and is of average value, but relatively speaking, it is more valuable than dry green jadeite.

The third type is oil-green jadeite. Oil-green jadeite is named after its surface gloss and oily feeling. It feels like a layer of oil on the jadeite. In fact, the number of jadeites of this grade on the market is small. There are quite a lot, but the price is still higher than the first two types, and it is usually classified as mid- to low-end jadeite.

Next is the most valuable ice jade, which is the highest grade jade.

The texture of ice jade shows a transparent to translucent crystal texture without any impurities inside.

But unlike the previous three, it comes in various colors, ranging from light green to dark green.

"I see." Guan Yun always thought that ice jade refers to blue or transparent jade, but it turned out that it was just a description of its texture.

Lin Ran continued, "In addition to the species, jade also depends on the water to determine the price."

"water?"

"Yes, actually 'seed' and 'water' are two words that specifically measure the quality of jade."
