Chapter 1512: 1512. Big Crash (1/5)
Chapter 1512 1512. Big collapse (15)
"Open the door first, open the door and have a look."
Nowadays, the price of stones in public auctions keeps rising, and hundreds of millions of stones keep appearing, but this is not a public auction, it is just a transaction in the market, so if there are 50 million stones, no matter the seller, the buyer or the director of the public bank, treat this Everything is very serious, and there are experienced masters to guide.
Opening the door is also called opening the skylight. After all, the emerald is wrapped in stone, and people cannot see its specific condition from the outside, so it is necessary to cut off a piece of stone skin to facilitate observation.
The stone mill cut it up, and a piece of stone skin was cut off.
Pushing away the stone skin, green was immediately seen below. Someone washed away the stone powder on the stone with water, and a group of crystal green appeared inside.
The owner of the stone is a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He has been silent and stayed beside him quietly.
After opening the door, he moved, pushed the small flashlight away to shine it into the exposed jade, and then frowned.
Because the stone door was opened from above, the crowd below couldn't see its specific situation clearly, but seeing the owner frowning, they felt that the situation was not good.
The expert who invited to preside over the stone cutting was very steady. He patted his master on the shoulder and whispered a few words of comfort, then waved and said, "Cut it at the waist, let's cut the dragon!"
"I'm going to slay the dragon, one is poor and the other is rich!"
"Poor is not poor. What about such a big stone, no, to kill the dragon so quickly? What did you see? The result is not good, right?"
"Shhhhh, it's definitely not good. If you see the shadow of the emperor green, you will have to grind your skin. Who would be willing to kill the dragon?"
Slowly, the sharp blade of the stone mill cut the stone in half. Several people on the booth hurried over to clean it and watch it. Soon their brows became more wrinkled and their faces became ugly.
Li Du and the others could clearly see the condition of the rock above them from a close distance.
Pieces of green appeared in the cut stone, which was wrapped with several pieces of jade, which were not small in size, but as seen by the space-time flying insects, the quality of these jades was not good, very unclear, and there were some pieces of jade in it that resembled cotton. , Baiyun things.
This kind of jade is not worth much. As far as the exposed jade is concerned, compared to the price of 50 million yuan, even if they are big, they may not be able to get back 5 million yuan.
The jade owner remained calm. He patted the stone on the left and nodded, signaling to continue cutting.
Li Du's heart skipped a beat, this stone has a lot to offer!
After avoiding the displayed jade, it was still cut at the middle, and then the stone was divided into two, this time there was nothing inside!
Not only was there nothing, but this time there were cracks in the stone. The cracks were small and messy.
Zhong Dapao immediately shook his head and said: "It's over, the jadeite has cracked, and the busy night has been wasted, there is cotton to dig out and paint, and if it cracks, there will be nothing to do."
There were exclamations, ridicules, and lamentations around. The owner of the jade stone took a deep breath, picked up the flashlight to have a look, and then turned around and shouted.
Li Du didn't understand this sentence, but judging from the tone of voice, it was either Japanese or Korean.
The translator said to the knife master: "One more knife, along this crack!"
In this way, the half of the stone on the left became two pieces, and each of these two pieces was stabbed again, making a total of four pieces.
As the clear water washes away the stone powder, the true colors of the stones are exposed, and two of them reappeared with jade. This time, the water head of the jade was better, but it was cracked. A series of small cracks appeared on it, like densely packed needles and threads. dazzling.
The other two stones were cut and nothing was visible, so it was chipped away.
At this moment, the middle-aged man as the host could not calm down and calm down. He touched the stone with a gloomy expression, he didn't know what to say, and his face became more and more ugly.
The old expert held the flashlight and looked at it for a while, then bowed his head and said a few words to the man.
The owner of the stone nodded heavily, and the old expert went to speak a few words to the host, who also nodded, picked up a loudspeaker and spoke in the local language.
After hearing his words, there was an uproar below.
Li Du asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Dapao gloated and said, "Abaka will be finished half a dozen times out of ten. Hehe, they are going to auction off the cut stones, and they will auction them based on their quality."
Gambling with stones is very uncertain. If the stone has not been turned into fine powder, then it is uncertain whether there is high-grade jade hidden in it.
This is different from other gambling methods, and it is even more different from the double stare of the casino.
At this time, the stone was cut open, and no good glass or ice jade was found, but the stone was only cut into a few pieces. Because of its large size and quality, the chopped stone was still very large.
Now no one is sure what quality jade is in these few stones.
In addition, the value of some stones has increased compared to before they were cut open. After all, the green color was exposed after it was cut in half.
However, this is just a risk. The owner abandoned it for auction, obviously not optimistic that it can cut the price, so it depends on other people's experience and vision.
The motor was running, the booth was put down, and people dispersed. According to the rules, everyone can look at it casually, and those who are interested can bid, and the highest bidder wins.
Li Du followed the crowd to look at the stone, and then asked Zhong Dapao, "How much will it cost if you buy this big one?"
Zhong Dapao asked, "Is it worth buying?"
Li Du smiled and said, "No, I'm just asking."
Zhong Dapao went to chat with the owner of the stone, and when he came back, he said bitterly: "Damn it, this little Japan is just as virtuous as his ancestors, it's crazy, how dare you ask for five million dollars just for this stone? "
If there is no cutting later, then the whole stone will be sold for 10 million US dollars, which is higher than the starting price of 50 million yuan, which is a cut increase.
Li Du asked: "He doesn't plan to cut it himself? Is this resignation?"
Zhong Dapao said with a contemptuous smile: "It is said that Little Japan has a lot of gambling and a heavy gambling addiction. In fact, it is said that when they do business, they are very shrewd, calm, and timid."
Judging from the results shown so far, if it continues to cut, it may completely collapse. Once the 50 million stones are cut, the loss will be too miserable.
Therefore, the owner of the jade stone couldn't bear it any longer. He decided to accept it as soon as it was good and transfer the risk.
One large, four small and five stones were carried out and placed next to the public row to form a booth.
People kept going up to observe and ask the price, but for a long time, not a single stone was sold.
After pondering for a while, Li Du walked to a temporarily broken stone and studied it. This stone is relatively small, but it still weighs one or two hundred kilograms. It is a big stone.
