Chapter 383 Sweetie's Apprentice
At first glance, Lao Yang is a very stubborn person, who is more serious and reasonable. In his opinion, what Li Weidong and Xiao Tiantian said is simply talking about night. Can they recognize the stones inside through the skin shell? Just kidding! If there are really such awesome characters in the world, those gamblers will not live!
The old man has played with stones all his life. Although he has never gambled on stones since the tragic accident, he has been relying on stones to eat. He thinks that he can beat him in the experience of gambling stones, not to mention a milky little girl like Xiao Tiantian, who is absolutely negligible.
How can Xiao Tiantian, who is a child's temper, stand the naked contempt or even disregard of Lao Yang's head**? She immediately crossed her waist and pointed to his nose and said, "Okay! Old man, that's what you said. If I really like the stone, don't cry if you want to be a teacher! If I lose, I will also kowtow to you and worship you as a master. Whoever is naughty is a puppy. Let's pull the hook!"
Old Yang's head was amused by her serious appearance and said, "It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you are really going to fool my old man to the end." OK, then make a deal. Whoever loses, recognize the other party as the master. Pull the hook!" He stretched out his hand and hooked Xiao Tiantian, glanced at Li Weidong intentionally or unintentionally, shook his head and said, "You little girl, you don't learn well at a young age, how can you learn to lie and be confused?"
This word is obviously beating Li Weidong, which means that he has taught a beautiful and cute little girl. Li Weidong was not annoyed. He just smiled and said, "Okay, you bet that I will be the middleman, and we will talk until the stone is cut open."
It didn't disturb the two apprentices. Li Weidong only called out Shen Lin and Lin Yumeng, and several people carried stones to the studio. It is said that it is a studio, but in fact, it is like a dirt workshop, with jade materials and semi-finished products piled up everywhere, and there is even a place to get down.
Jade processing is a meticulous work. In fact, there are three studios here, two of which are for fine work. Yang Shuntang and the processor who stole the raw stone are one each. Now this room is a rough place, mainly used for cutting, cutting or making large pieces. If it is the stone cut by Li Weidong in the afternoon, Lao Yangtou will definitely take it back to his studio to think about it carefully. But for this stupid and stupid stone with no appearance, how can he enjoy such a high-level treatment? In Lao Yangtou's view, he even fuck it directly with a sledgehammer and smash it in half with a hammer, which is not painful. Save this toss.
Put the stone on the electronic weighing, with a net weight of 61282.74 grams, that is, a little more than 122 catties and a half. Li Weidong asked, "Master Yang, how much did you buy this stone? Since you think there will be nothing good in it, why do you buy it?"
Yang Shuntang snorted and said, "Didn't I say that this is a piece of thing? At that time, four stones were estimated, and this rough thing was quite a fraction, 400 yuan. Hey, according to the current stone market, what can I buy for 400 yuan? Even the stone merchants don't bother to make this number of goods. At most, they can earn some wine money, and you two even say it's a treasure!"
Li Weidong smiled and said to himself that the gap was really big. The stone cut in the afternoon turned out to be 368,000 yuan, but I don't know what kind of treasure this 400-yuan "broken stone" can cut out.
After weighing, Yang Shuntang carried the stone and put it on the jade cutting machine and pressed the button. After a roar, a stupid stone broke his waist into two halves. Yang Shuntang removed the calitle and picked up half of it casually. While brushing off the gravel dust on it with his sleeve, he sneered and said, "Well, you should be relieved now. Look, this is you...you...you..."
The dust is brushed away, and the cut surface inside is naturally exposed. Lao Yang also glanced at the ground casually as he spoke, and his whole body suddenly became a stuck phonophone. You didn't come out for a long time. The original slender eyes suddenly stared as big as an egg, staring straight at the stone cut surface, completely stunned.
A piece of green!
Under the bright light, the oval stone section reflected a green light, and the whole studio seemed to be reflected a faint light in an in an inseous moment! This is bright but soft, full and delicate, and people can't even find accurate words to describe its gorgeousness!
Not to mention the old Yang head who was not held by the stone from the beginning, even Shen Lin and Lin Yumeng suddenly looked straight. It was so gorgeous and dazzling that even an idiot could see at a glance that the stone was definitely a rare treasure!
Although Li Weidong had been psychologically prepared for a long time, he still couldn't resist a burst of ecstasy: YES! The little money fan's eyes are really accurate and fierce enough. The bet on the first stone shows that the first step of the plan has been successfully taken!
Seeing the surprise on everyone's faces, Xiao Tiantian's face turned white with fear. She quickly grabbed the stone from Lao Yang's head and hugged it tightly in her arms. Together with the remaining half of the stone on the cutting machine, she quickly protected behind her buttocks. Her big eyes looked at everyone nervously, for fear that her baby would be accidentally fished by others.
Lao Yang's head just woke up. He reflexively wanted to take the stone in her hand and take a closer look. Xiao Tiantian quickly turned around and shouted, "My!"
Half of the stone also weighs dozens of catties, and it's a little difficult for Xiao Tiantian to hold it, but it looked like a hen ready to fight. Everyone was sweating. Li Weidong said, "I know it's yours. Who robbed it?" But whether the stone is cut good or bad, you have to show Master Yang the appraisal, right?
Old Yang said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, if you don't let me have a look, how do I know how much it is worth?"
Xiao Tiantian looked at Li Weidong and Lao Yang's head, and was not willing to hand over half a stone. Old Yang took it in his arms, dragged a chair under the lamp, grabbed the magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. From time to time, he wiped it carefully with his sleeves. Seeing that the posture was more gentle and careful than for women. While looking at the old man's eyebrows and beard, he kept shaking, and suddenly patted his thighs heavily and shouted, "It's a pity, it's a pity! Oh, I'm confused!"
Li Weidong couldn't help but be stunned. Shen Lin couldn't help saying, "Why, isn't it jade?"
Lao Yang shook his head repeatedly, shivered and pointed to the stone. After a while, he calmed down a little and said, "Old pit, this is definitely an old pit stone, glass seed!" Look at this place, how transparent it is. There are no impurities at all. You can see the bottom at a glance like glass. This is the best glass in emerald! What's more rare is this color, full of green. Oh, my God, how much is it worth!"
"Really?!"
"Really, it's absolutely true. My old Yangtou dares to guarantee his life, and he will never be blind!"
"Ah, this, that's great!"
Everyone was surprised. Lin Yumeng grabbed Li Weidong's arm even more excitedly. In her opinion, the stone in stock was already at a loss. Every time she thought of letting Li Weidong suffer such a big loss, she was depressed to death, but she didn't expect this pile of seemingly inconspicuous stones. Unexpectedly, there is a treasure, which at least means that the huge loss can finally be made up for. How can she not be very excited!
Li Weidong was a little strange and said, "Master Yang, since you said that this is the best glass seed in the emerald, what's the pity?"
Lao Yang suddenly raised his hand and patted his skull again. He patted it and said, "I'm really fooling around, alas! What the fuck!"
The crazy look startled everyone and quickly pulled him. Li Weidong said, "Old man, what are you doing? Let's talk about something. Then we should be happy when we cut out the baby. Why do you blame yourself?"
Lao Yang's expression was extremely painful. Looking at that appearance, he seemed to be about to cry and said, "Mr. Li, this little... little sister, blamed me for being confused for a while and didn't listen to you!" This stone land is already the best, and what's more rare is that it is full of green. You see, there is only a little white here and here, and the rest is all green, more transparent, how pure this color is! I, Lao Yang, have never cut out such a good-quality stone in my life, but I just cut such a whole piece of treasure in half with a bold knife just now. I, I'm simply... Alas, it's too confusing! Fortunately, I boasted that I had played with stones all my life. I didn't expect to break a treasure in my own hands when I was old. Shameful, shameful!"
Only then did everyone understand what was going on. This broken stone, which is only worth 400 yuan and looks stupid and stupid, is actually a rare treasure, and Lao Yangtou cut it in half with a casual knife, which, of course, discounted the overall value of the stone. Just like a diamond, the value of a 10-carat is obviously not equivalent to two 5-carat, the same reason.
It turns out that cutting stone is also a quite exquisite job. Once there was a Burmese businessman who cut an old pit stone. This knife was cut impartially on the ribbon, and there was green on both sides, but there was not much green left. As long as you casually go up to the left or right half a centimeter when you put the knife, this old pit jade can make a few good rings, at least worth five million, but because the knife is half, you can only hit a few pendants, which can be worth one million at most.
The position of a knife is only slightly different, which is a direct loss of four million. This is the stimulation of the gambling stone, and even every knife can be described as thrilling. In fact, old stinges like Yang Shuntang usually have to observe carefully when cutting stones. They usually need to "wipe" before cutting the knife, that is, to polish the outer shell slightly, so that they can accurately judge the green direction, and then cut as many good things as possible. For example, when cutting Li Weidong's stone in the afternoon, he repeatedly thought about it for a long time before he dared to cut the jade that might be contained in it.
And this stone of Xiaotiantian, to be honest, Yang Shuntang didn't take it seriously at all. This kind of broken stone can cut out such a treasure. I can't even think about it. Because of this, Lao Yang's knife was quite casual. Not to mention wiping it, he cut it rashly without even looking at it. When he found the green in it, he regretted it.
Although Shen Lin and Lin Yumeng didn't say anything, they couldn't hide their regret. Li Weidong doesn't care about this, because what he wants is not this stone at all, but the whole gambling stone market. As far as this stone is concerned, whether it is cut at a sky-high price or really cut. As long as it can prove Xiao Tiantian's special ability, everything else is not important. So he smiled and comforted Lao Yang and said, "Master Yang, isn't it just a stone? It doesn't matter. We will definitely cut out something better and more valuable later!" By the way, you'd better look at the color of the stone first and estimate how much it can be worth?
Yang Shuntang held the two cut stones and looked at them carefully for a long time. He said, "This stone is well planted, pure and transparent. It is definitely the best old pit glass species, but this green is slightly brighter, not the best imperial green. I think it should be sunny green. I remember I told you that the layman looks at the seed of jadeite, and the layman looks at the color. If there is a slight difference in color, the price will be several times or dozens of times different. In addition, although this kind is good, there are cracks in it. Well, look here, and here, there are small cracks. From this perspective, this stone is not the best.
Seeing that everyone was slightly disappointed, Lao Yang turned his head and said, "But there is an extremely rare thing about this stone. It's such a big piece of about 100 catties, almost full of green!" If the old man didn't look away, this green should have reached the bottom! There are no green stones, and the glass is not surprising, but do you know how many green and glass stones there are in total? I've only heard of it when I cut stones all my life. I've never seen it with my own eyes. Today is really an eye-opener! This stone doesn't even need to be made into bracelets, ring faces and anything else. It just polishes the appearance slightly and wipes off the shell and green-free places. That's a lot of value! I can't estimate the specific value, but conservatively speaking, it will not be less than 50 million!"
"Fifty million?!"
This jaw-dropping price is still affordable for Li Weidong, but for Shen Lin and Lin Yumeng, their blood pressure did soar all the way, and they almost jumped with excitement! You should know that this stone was only bought for 400 yuan, and it has more than 100,000 times at once. Oh, my God, it's no wonder that gambling stones are more exciting than gambling, stock futures and so on. No wonder this lonely old man was addicted to it and even lost his wife. Such a huge **, how many people in the world can Is it enough to resist?!
The two maids were a little complacent when they were excited for a moment, and coincidentally hugged Li Weidong's arm. The two lively MMs on the left and right made such an ambiguous move that Li Weidong only felt that his whole body was light and refreshing. Xiao Tiantian stared at Shen Lin with big black eyes, and then at Lin Yumeng. Her little mouth couldn't help pouted. Only then did Shen Lin and Lin Yumeng realize that there was something. They hurriedly let go and secretly glanced at each other, and couldn't help blushing.
Li Weidong quickly covered up his cough and said, "That's good, that's good!" 400 yuan for 50 million yuan, this business is so cost-effective. Speaking of which, this is thanks to Master Yang. If you hadn't bought this stone, we wouldn't have been able to make this fortune, would we?
Yang Shuntang's expression was gloomy for a while. He reached out and stroked the stone to show the dark and uneven skin shell. He trembling his lips and said, "Oh, when I'm old, I can't see that this stone is a precious pimple! If it hadn't been for my knife, such a stone would have cost hundreds of millions! Mr. Li, I, I'm really... I'm the one who made a lot of mistakes. You lost tens of millions with one knife. I, Yang Shuntang, am sorry for you. If you want to fight and kill, I'll punish you!"
As soon as the stone was released, Yang Shuntang got up and was about to kneel down. Li Weidong quickly reached out and said, "Old man, this is not good!" You originally bought the stone. Speaking of which, you have nothing to do, but also have merit. What do you mean by punishment? A stone is just cut. Isn't there such a saying that there should be half a bucket of rice in your life, and you can't rise when you walk all over the world. We should have this life this time. 50 million is enough. How can we be greedy? Besides, don't forget what I told you before. I said I want to gamble on stones. As long as we have you and Xiao Tiantian, we can get back as much wealth as we want! Ha ha, Master Yang, I told you about Xiao Tiantian's ability before. How about it? Do you believe it this time?
Yang Shuntang just cared about regret, and even forgot that there was something like Xiao Tiantian. Hearing Li Weidong's words, he remembered that he couldn't hide his surprise and said hesitantly, "This...this...Mr. Li, to be honest, I really can't believe that such a miracle can happen in the world! You know how many people in the world have lost their families, just like I did back then, but it's incredible that she can be accurate one by one! I... Now I don't know whether I should believe what you said, Mr. Li, for the sake of my old age, can you tell me the truth? Are you really not fooling me with this little girl?"
Before Li Weidong said anything, Xiao Tiantian puffed her mouth and said dissatisfiedly, "Who do you call a little girl?" Hey, old man, is the bet I just made okay?
"Bet? Ah! ......”
Yang Shuntang's old face suddenly turned red. He was so full of what he had just said that he actually made such a heavy bet. Thinking of an old man in his sixties and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl kowtowed to the master, it was simply a loss! What's more, the old man is still born with a stubborn temper. How can he wipe his face away? He can't wait to find a crack to get in. He said for a long time but didn't say a word.
Li Weidong laughed and said, "Sweetie, don't mess around. How can a joke be serious! Master Yang, this child is ignorant. Don't take it to heart.
Xiao Tiantian didn't care about that at all. She scratched her face and said to Yang Shuntang, "I'm still cheating after hooking, shame, shame, shame!"
"Damn, what are you talking about, little girl!" Li Weidong quickly pulled Xiao Tiantian and stared at her fiercely. Yang Shuntang gasped and left without saying a word. Li Weidong shouted twice without looking back. Seeing the old man get out of the room angrily, Li Weidong said harshly, "Xiao Tiantian, you are messing around again. You are disobedient, aren't you?"
Xiao Tiantian twisted her chin and said unconvincedly, "I didn't mess with you. It was the old man himself just now. When I fell in like it, I worshipped me as his master. I pulled the hook and played tricks, shamelessly! Humph, do you think I'm willing to be his master? He doesn't want to kowtow to me, and I don't want to accept him yet!"
"You still say! You little thing, I can't control you anymore..."
Before Li Weidong finished his words, he saw Lao Yang's head come back. He held a green jade incense burner in his hand, put it in the middle of the ground without saying a word, pulled Xiao Tiantian to sit on the chair, and then lit three incense sticks in his hand, and was about to kneel down to Xiao Tiantian. Shen Lin and Lin Yumeng looked at each other in con'sinuation. They didn't know what they were playing, but Li Weidong was shocked. He quickly stopped him and said, "Master Yang, what are you doing? They all said it was a joke..."
"What is this! I, Yang Shuntang, have always been one, two, and two. Can't I swallow what I say? If you want to stop me, you might as well cut me to death with a knife!"
What Yang Shuntang said was decisive, and there was no room for discussion at all. Now Li Weidong had no choice but to let go. The gray-haired old man had a solemn expression, holding three incense sticks in his hand, bowed respectfully to Xiao Tiantian, and said angrily, "Master, I'm here. My apprentice Yang Shuntang, salute you!"
PS: Sad ING... Although I said I don't want tickets, you bad ** really didn't let me be on the ticket list again... Looking at the steady update recently, can't you give me a consolation award? ^_^
