The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

Xu Ze stood up suddenly, and gave them a cold look with his dark eyes.The young man's tall figure is at least half a head taller than the people around him, bringing a sense of condescending oppression.

These people all knew that Xu Ze was the young master of a rich family, and after looking at each other, they couldn't help but shut their mouths.

Yun Zhou wasn't angry. He wasn't optimistic about this piece of wool before. It's normal to have such thoughts.

Master Jieshi moved the cross-section of the wool about five centimeters out according to what the boy said, but he felt that the other party was too conservative.If you ask him to cut a knife directly in the center, it will be clear at a glance how deep the crack is.

The harsh cutting sound of metal gears stimulated the eardrums, Yun Zhou's hands were crossed and held together, his expression tense.

Relying on Xiao Yulong's ability, he can feel the abundant aura in the jadeite, but it is still unknown what kind of jadeite he can extract.He hoped that it was ice-type high-green jadeite, so that the problems faced by Xu Ze and handed down jewelry could be solved.

Time passed by, and when Master Jieshi took out the wool that had been cut in half, his heart was beating extremely violently, and a few drops of sweat oozed from his palms.

"...still cracked."

Master Shijie shook his head when he saw the cracks on it, but after wiping the cut surface clean, he suddenly took a deep breath, "Hiss, no, this is—?"

I saw that the cut surface after washing away the gravel and impurities showed an almost completely transparent texture. The crystal clear jadeite was like a flowing ice spring, with a touch of coolness, moist and delicate, and full of water color.

There are traces of green entwined in the water-like clear base, wisps of wisps, misty like smoke, like clouds floating in the pure sky, the end is beautiful and moving, like a dream.

The most important thing is that those cracks that everyone can't avoid are gradually becoming less and shallower. They are not full of broken jade like before, but only two or three thin and shallow traces are left. It will affect the smoothness of the cut surface, and it will disappear completely if it goes one or two centimeters inward.

Xu Ze had been standing beside Yun Zhou, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated the moment he saw the cut surface, and he immediately used the flashlight to shine along the smooth and delicate cut surface inch by inch, with an unbelievably dazed look on his face.

"Damn it, yes, it's the ice species! It's the ice species floating flower jade——!"

A middle-aged man next to him was staring at the ice-clear cut surface from the hands of the master Shijie, and all the shock in his heart turned into a loud cry, it seemed that only in this way could the excitement in his chest be suppressed. Express it.

"What, ice species!!"

"Someone solved the ice-species floating flower emerald—"

"Let me see. Damn, who stepped on my foot!"

The words of the middle-aged man were like a thunderclap on the ground, waking up the people who were still picking wool, and the crowd rushed towards this side frantically.

"This, isn't this the piece of material with bad cracks?!"

"How is it possible that the ice-species floating green flower jadeite was extracted from it!"

"My God, what kind of luck is this?"

"Looking at this section is enough to pull out a pair and a half of bracelets!"

Many of the people present recognized this piece of material whose surface was pierced by vicious cracks.

The evil crack was sixty to seventy centimeters long, and penetrated nearly ten centimeters into the wool. The crack was filled with various moss and scale, and no one bought it after sitting in the corner for a whole year.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, none of the people present would have believed that the ice-species floating green flower jadeite could be extracted from such a piece of rubbish!

Everyone's eyes on Yunzhou changed. This young man who looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old has such good luck, which is really enviable and jealous.

And the few people who were urging to untie a piece of wool just now blushed, as if they had been slapped several times, their faces were full of embarrassment, and they wanted to stuff themselves into the cracks in the ground .

Just five or six minutes ago, they thought that this piece of wool could unlock emeralds, and sows could climb trees.The feeling of being slapped in the face in a blink of an eye is really impressive.

"This is not an ice species, but a high ice species close to the glass species."

Xu Ze put away the flashlight and said to the others, his voice was a little hoarse and excited.Just now that person's angle was limited and he couldn't see it clearly, but after using the light, he can be sure that it is a piece of high ice material!

In the world of jadeite, ice jadeite is second only to glass jadeite, and the best quality and most transparent jadeite is called "high ice jadeite".

In other words, the transparency is second only to the glass type, but higher than the texture of the ice type.

In terms of water head, the water head of ice jade is more than half of the water, the high ice jade is more than two minutes of water, and the glass jade is three minutes of water.

The "water head" of jadeite refers to the size of the light transmission range in jadeite.One part of water means that the halo transmission reaches a thickness of 3mm, "two parts of water" means that the halo transmission is 6mm thick, and so on, and the best is "very water". ①

The water head of high ice jadeite is slightly lower than that of glass jadeite, and it is more crystal clear than ordinary ice jadeite. When the finger is placed under the jadeite, the outline of the finger can be seen under the light.

In addition, high-ice jadeite will "fluoresce", while ice-type jadeite may not glow.

Just now Xu Ze felt that the seed water of this piece of jade seemed to be higher than the ice seed. After careful observation, he slowly illuminated it with a flashlight along the cut surface.

Master Jie Shi also echoed hoarsely: "That's right, I have seen so many jadeites, judging from the transparency, they are indeed high ice species!"

Today, when glass species are so rare, it is the honor of every stone-clearing master to be able to give birth to a piece of high-ice jadeite in his hands, which made him feel the excitement that he has not seen for a long time.

"Little brother, are you going to sell this piece of material? I think there is still a little crack on the cut surface. Why don't you pass the risk on to us. Hexi Jewelry plans to pay 500 million yuan to buy this piece of wool."

"Yufu Jewelry will sell 600 million yuan."

"Our Fengyuan Jewelry bid is 700 million!"

……

After solving only one aspect, this group of jewelry buyers offered a high price of 900 million, which made Yun Zhou feel a little overwhelmed.

He knew that high-grade jadeites such as Gaobing full green, emerald, and sun green belonged to high-end jadeites, and their prices were very high, but was the price of floating flower jadeite also so high?

Xu Ze was worried that the young man didn't understand the market, so he explained in a low voice: "Yun Zhou, don't rush to make a move, the price these people offer is not too high.

Floating flower jade has been very popular in recent years. Its texture is clear and flawless, and the floating green and blue flowers inside have a misty texture like smoke. It is very popular among ladies. The price of ice floating flowers will not be lower than Ice sun green.

What's more, you are still a high ice species, only one step away from the top glass species. "

Seeing that the young man was listening seriously, Xu Ze lowered his voice a little, and told him some common phenomena in the industry: "You have to know that when glass jadeite is so scarce, many shops are selling jadeite that is close to glass jadeite. High ice varieties are sold as glass varieties.

After all, the difference between the "two parts of water" of the high-ice type and the "three parts of water" of the glass type is very small. It is only the difference between the water of jadeite species in the industry, which is no different for customers, and their transparency is also almost the same.

The price of high-ice floating green flower jadeite of such color and excellent water quality will not be much lower than that of ordinary glass jadeite. Although it is not as high as sungreen and emerald jadeite, it must be at least expensive to make a bracelet. 400-600 million pairs, maybe even higher.

From the cross-section alone, three bracelets and five or six pendants can be extracted from this piece of wool. As long as the cracks do not go deep into the interior, these people will definitely make a profit without losing money. "

Xu Ze hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you are going to sell it now, the price of handed down jewels is 1200 million. However, according to the fact that the cracks are gradually disappearing, I suggest you...continue to solve it."

Of course he also wants to buy this piece of wool at a low price, but no matter whether he is a classmate or a friend, he cannot deceive the other party against his will.What's more, Yunzhou helped him a lot before, unraveling his knots with his grandfather, and he always remembered this favor.

Yun Zhou didn't plan to make a move at first. When he touched it with his hands before, the emerald in this piece of wool gave him a sense of vastness, so the boy thought that the emerald inside should not be small.

The little Yulong raised his body high on his wrist and gave him a childish 'owoo', as if he was also echoing his point of view.

Yun Zhou touched the smooth and cold scales of Xiao Yulong, and smiled apologetically at Xu Ze and the surrounding buyers: "I'm really sorry, I still plan to continue to solve."

"Okay, then you can solve it as soon as possible."

"Master, please move slowly, don't hurt the jade inside."

"Yes, yes, you must be careful."

The buyer of Yufu Jewelry stared at this piece of wool, his eyes were about to glow green. It was the first time he saw the material of Gaobing species after squatting here for more than two months. The floating flowers are also very beautiful like silk and mist. , if he can bring this piece of material back, he will be the hero of the entire jewelry store!

The same goes for other jewelry buyers.

Last time, a slap-sized piece of ice-planted green grass-green jadeite made everyone scratch their heads. Now seeing this piece of tall ice-planted floating flower material, everyone looks like a wolf who has seen the meat. They wish they could bite the meat right now. in the mouth.

Master Jieshi wiped his hands, but also did not dare to slack off.

This time his approach was obviously very conservative. The sound of the grinding wheel was much slower than usual, and he rubbed off the cracked parts bit by bit along the cut surface. A piece of jade meat the size of a fingernail alone would cost tens of thousands.

As the cracks on the cut surface completely disappeared, other buyers began to contact the person in charge of the headquarters to apply for funds.Looking at it like this, it is definitely not possible to get it based on the price just now, and there will be another fierce competition.

Xu Ze also called Mr. Xu.

He doesn't have so much money in his hand now, so he needs to ask his grandfather for instructions, but he can guarantee that his grandfather will not object after he knows.

Bracelets of this quality are the kind of high-end emerald jewelry that big customers flock to, no matter whether they are placed in the branch store or the main store, so they don't have to worry about selling them at all.

The phone was connected quickly, and Mr. Xu was preparing to eat, so it was very strange that his grandson called at this time.

"Grandpa, I'm in XX Yushi Street. I found a piece of high-ice floating material here, and I want to apply for funds from you."

Mr. Xu's expression froze, and he immediately put down his chopsticks when he heard the words, "Gao Bing's Floating Flower Jadeite? Cough cough, Ze, you must buy it!"

Because of his excitement, he coughed a few times unconsciously: "How big is the jadeite, can you take out a single bracelet? Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as you can carve out three or four pendants."

Generally, this kind of high-end jade material is rarely seen in large pieces except in large public markets, just like the glass that Xu Ze gambled is full of green jadeite, and it is not bad if it can be as big as an adult's fist.

Xu Ze paused for a moment: "...Grandpa, if there are only a few pendant sizes, would I still need to look for you? But the jadeite has not been fully unlocked yet, depending on the cut and thickness, at least three pairs of bracelets can be produced."

He glanced in the direction of the stone breaker, and now the stone has been cut from the bottom, conservatively estimated to be at least four centimeters thick.

Mr. Xu's breath suddenly became short of breath, and his voice trembled: "How much money do you need, I will ask the financial manager to transfer it immediately. Is 3000 million enough?

No, I have to call the bank manager myself and transfer 6000 million to your account, and you can just pick it up with the check tomorrow.Money is not a problem, remember, must, must, at all costs must take down this piece of high ice seed material! "

Xu Ze said 'hmm': "Don't worry, 6000 million is definitely enough."

The jewelers here are only able to spend so much money on 'Yufu Jewelry', and the others simply can't afford this piece of material. Of course, it is not ruled out that they urgently mobilize inventory funds.

Inside the stone-dissolving machine, the metal gears were spinning violently, and the cutting sound of "zilazila" was very ear-piercing, but none of the people present found it unpleasant, and they were all anxiously waiting for the result.

Master Jieshi stopped the machine, washed away the gravel on the cut surface with clean water, and took out the wool that had been cut in half.

The half of the surface near the bottom has a layer of light white mist-like crystals, called white mist, which is a layer of material between the leather shell and the jade flesh. Generally, jadeite is under the mist layer.

White mist also appeared on the lower section of the other piece, indicating that this piece of wool, which is about the size of a football, is about to turn green. As long as the outer fog layer is wiped off, the remaining large piece of rough stone is likely to be emerald!

"It's foggy, and the white fog means it's good to plant old water, and the bottom must be the material of high ice."

"Damn it, it's such a big piece!"

"If the bottom here is full of emeralds, at least seven or eight pairs of bracelets can be produced."

"Master, quickly wipe off the fog—"

"Phew, I can't wait!"

……

Master Jieshi barely restrained his inner excitement, and slowly rubbed the stone along the foggy surface.

The fog layer of the white mist is very thin, only about three millimeters. The thin powder gradually falls with the rolling of the grinding wheel. After wiping away the impurities on the surface, the cut surface presents a transparent texture close to glass, which is crystal clear and flawless. .

Dots of green float like clouds in the pure ground, like smoke, mist, and misty rain, with a misty texture like smoke, just like the Jiangnan water town in the rain, gentle and moving, beautiful.

Now the shape of the whole piece of emerald has been clearly revealed, which is equivalent to a clear material.

The jadeite is flat like a rugby football, and the upper and lower cut surfaces are the texture of high-ice jadeite with floating flowers. It's a must!

Everyone held their breath and stared blankly at this rare piece of high-ice jadeite. Such a large piece of material and such kind of water are really rare.

Xu Ze stood aside with his hands in his pockets, he changed his previous disappointment, and his eyes looked at this piece of material with brilliance again. As long as he can buy this piece of high-ice jadeite, not only the crisis of the N City branch will be solved Solved, other stores will also have new products, far surpassing competitors!

"Xiao Zhang, what are you waiting for, hurry, hurry up and set off firecrackers! The high ice species of floating flower jadeite is absolutely soaring—"

As soon as the jadeite came out, the owner immediately ordered the clerk to set off firecrackers at the door, but his expression was mixed.

This piece of wool has been kept with him for so long and no one has bought it, so why doesn't he untie it and have a look? 3000 yuan of wool, alas.

But who knew that such a piece of garbage could produce high-grade jadeite?It's unpredictable.

And the few jewelry buyers who had been staring at the wool could no longer sit still, and started asking prices non-stop.

"Little brother, we bid 1500 million for this piece of jade from Hexi Jewelry!"

"You want to win such a piece of high ice material for 1500 million? Our Fengyuan Jewelry bid is 2000 million!"

"The price of Yufu Jewelry is 2500 million."

"2600 million!"

"2700."

"2750 million!"

"2800 million—"

One after another, the bidding sounded, and the price rose by hundreds of thousands or even millions each time, without any compromise.

All the onlookers were stunned. These hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars were like Chinese cabbage in the eyes of these jewelers, and they didn't even blink when they asked for the price.

When the price was called 3000 million, the other jewelers had stopped talking, and only Fengyuan Jewelry and Yufu Jewelry were still competing to bid.

The purchaser of Fengyuan Jewelry wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously. There was only 200 million left to the highest price he applied for. If the other party continued——

Before he could prepare himself mentally, the competitor had already said, "Yufu Jewelry offers 3050 million yuan."

"Fengyuan Jewelry's bid is 3100 million."

"3150 million." The other party continued to increase the price without hesitation.

The buyer of Fengyuan jewelry could only grit his teeth and shout out the final price: "3200 million!!"

This time his voice was trembling, and he secretly hoped that the other party would not bid, never bid!

"3300 million." The buyer of Yufu jewelry smiled, "Do you want to continue to increase the price?"

The purchasers of Fengyuan Jewelry looked ashamed. Their company did not compete for good materials this time, and they wondered if they could survive next year.

After he stopped bidding, the current highest bid is 3300 million for Yufu Jewelry.

Judging from the thickness and the size of the cut surface of this piece of jadeite, it should be possible to take out no less than ten pairs of bracelets, plus twenty or thirty pendants and pendants, with a total value of more than 6000 million.

However, various expenses such as storefront and processing have to be removed, and the net profit is not so high.

The most important thing is that this price has exceeded the affordability of many jewelers. The material is good, but few people can afford it.

Some jewelers in China are really rich in funds, but their working capital has to be withdrawn in advance, especially before they participate in a big market such as the Burmese public market. material!

It really caught them off guard.

Just when the buyer of Yufu Jewelry was rejoicing that he was able to purchase this piece of high-ice floating flower jadeite at a price that did not exceed the quota, a cold voice came from the side: "The price of handed down jewels is 4000 million."

"Damn, 4000!"

"As expected of one of the top ten jewelers' handed down jewels, it's a big deal."

"The boss is the boss, take it easy and stay calm."

"The price should be at the top. I don't know if Yufu Jewelry will follow."

"You, why are you bidding now!"

The buyer of Yufu Jewelry was about to vomit blood. He had just reported the good news to the vice president and swore that he would definitely be able to buy the jadeite this time, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly popped up halfway!

Xu Ze was just waiting for the final price. He didn't like frequent bidding, just like scrambling for Chinese cabbage in the market.After hearing this, he glanced at him coldly, "You can still apply now, and the jadeite bidding is for the highest bidder."

"..." This is true.

The buyer glared at him bitterly, and hurriedly called the vice president. After a few minutes, he came over with an ugly expression, and the price was not approved.

The price of 4000 million Yufu Jewelry can barely afford it, but the handed down jewelry looks like it is bound to win, and the final asking price must be more than 4000 million. If it is higher, the profit will be reduced accordingly.

Putting most of the working capital on a piece of wool is still very risky in a short period of time. After comprehensive consideration, Yufu Jewelry is going to decide to give up this piece of wool to prepare for the public offering in City A two months later.

Xu Ze walked up to the young man who was still a little unresponsive, "I'll write you the check right away, but I won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow."

Yun Zhou let out a blunt 'oh', his clear eyes widened slightly, and he was still immersed in the shock of the 4000 million photographs of this piece of wool.

He obviously bought this piece of wool for 3000 yuan, but now it costs... 4000 million? !

God, is he really dreaming?

The young man stroked the clear and moist emerald surface with his hand, feeling an extremely unreal feeling of drifting in his heart.

At this moment, the little jade dragon curled the tip of its tail around the young man's wrist, with two small dragon horns protruding, its slender body desperately stretched forward, and then opened its mouth to bite the edge of the high ice jadeite—— !

!!!

Yun Zhou was completely stunned when he realized it. Little Yulong opened his mouth wide and bit off the jadeite the size of a fingernail with his small milk teeth that hadn't grown yet. swallowed.

...does it really matter?

Using the cover of his sleeve, he picked up Xiao Yulong and squeezed it lightly. Jade is so hard, so it won't cause indigestion, right?

Little Yulong gave him a baby-like 'owwow', opened his mouth to show him his intact baby teeth, then curled up and burped a little, with more than 20 silver scales the size of rice grains Light up one after another, shining brightly.

...It seems that there is no problem, not only that, the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy has become higher.

"Young master, isn't your bid just now a bit too high?"

Yun Zhou used his fingertips to help Xiao Yulong smooth his neck, thinking of the scene just now, he felt a little tangled.

He whispered to Xu Ze: "Just now, their highest bid was 3300 million. You don't need to increase the price so much at once. It's too bad. The price should be 3300 million."

In fact, for him, a [-]% discount or a [-]% discount friendship price is also possible. After all, Xu Ze is his college roommate and his best friend among the three.

But Yunzhou knew that if the price was lower than this price, the always proud young master would definitely not accept it.

"...No need." Xu Ze looked at the young man steadfastly, a few smiles appeared in his usually indifferent eyes, a warm current surged in his heart, and his chest became hot.

The other party not only helped him solve the huge problem faced by handed down jewelry, but also thought of him so much.

Xu Ze coughed subtly, his ears were reddish, he felt his heart beating uncontrollably again, and it stimulated the eardrum like a drumbeat.

He looked away slightly, slowly calming down the surging emotions in his heart.

As for Cai just now, that was a small strategy of his.

Generally, the price increase is 50 to 50 in the end, but he added 700 million all at once, which seems to be impulsive, but it is not.

What he wanted was to make Yufu Jewelry retreat in spite of the difficulties, and let them see their determination to get this piece of jade, so that they would not continue to increase the price.

Otherwise, if he adds up little by little, he may not be able to get it at this price.

In fact, there is another strategy, which is to bid a very high price at the beginning, so as to calm down the opponent at once, so that the opponent does not dare to bid.

But there is only one piece of high-ice floating flower jadeite, and everyone is trying their best to get it. This method may not be effective, and it may even lead to more intense competition.

That's why he took another approach, and overall it seems to work well.

Yun Zhou looked at the little Yulong who started eating jade again after a few minutes of digestion, with a bit of pampering and helplessness in his eyes. Fortunately, the other party only bit off a fingernail-sized bit, otherwise it would be really easy to be discovered.

He thought for a while and said, "Young master, how about this, can you ask the jade carving master to scratch the position of the bracelet and pendant, and give me the remaining jadeite scraps without affecting the finished jewelry? The 700 million yuan will be considered It's a discount."

Xu Ze frowned slightly, "This kind of scrap is worthless, if you want it, I'll give it to you directly."

Like this kind of high-ice floating flower jadeite, it is most suitable for making bracelets, followed by pendants and pendants, and finally some handles and so on.The remaining scraps cannot be made into beads like other sun green jadeites, so they are basically worthless.

"It doesn't matter, it's decided like this." Yun Zhou looked at Xiao Yulong who curled up contentedly and fell asleep after eating, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Hey, young man, you still have three pieces of wool here, why don't you understand?" Master Xie Shi asked with a smile.

This young man knows the rules very well, and gave him a big red envelope of 3000 yuan when he first cut the price, which is very good.

According to the rules, after the big rise, you have to give Master Jie Shi a big red envelope. Unfortunately, the emotions of young people nowadays are too fast, and they don't pay attention to these things, so there is not much that can be done.

Yun Zhou glanced at his phone, and it took four to ten minutes to untangle the piece of wool with the cracks just now, and it's past six o'clock, but Hong Hai and the others haven't come back yet.

"Continue to unravel this piece." He handed the piece of wool that he put in casually to Master Jieshi.
