I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques
205. One knife is poor, one knife is rich, one knife wears sackcloth
After putting away the things, Hu Muzhi stayed in the store for a while and found nothing worth buying before leaving.
After visiting more than 30 antique shops, Hu Muzhi looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock.
So I went to have a meal first, and at the same time put the Xing kiln white porcelain into the void ring.
By the time Hu Muzhi returned to Hollywood Road, it was already 5:40.
Since he was going to set up a stall at night, Hu Muzhi did not continue to hang out, but started to find a place to set up a stall.
I came to the place where the stall was set up yesterday, and found that the shop called 'Yucuiju' is now open for business today.
This is a shop specializing in selling all kinds of jade and jadeite.
At this time, there were seven or eight people around the door of the store.
And there is also the sound of grinding wheels grinding stones.
"This voice? Why is it so familiar?" Hu Muzhi got closer.
Sure enough, in cutting stones. 19
I saw a football-sized stone being fixed on a cutting machine for cutting.
In addition, there are dozens of stones on the ground.
These stones are not big, basically under five kilograms.
But Hu Muzhi knew that these were not ordinary stones, but rough jadeite stones without windows.
These people are gambling stones.
Betting on stones is a term in the jewelry industry.
It means that when jadeite is mined, it is covered with a layer of weathered skin, and it is impossible to know whether it is good or bad. The quality of jadeite can only be known after cutting.
And there is such a saying in the gambling stone world.
One knife is poor, one knife is rich, one knife wears sackcloth.
It means that if you go down with a knife, you will either get rich overnight or go bankrupt!
It can be seen that stone gambling is like gambling, with risks and benefits coexisting.
The most famous piece of gambling jade in the history of the Dragon Kingdom is "Hetian jade".
According to legend, in the state of Chu during the Warring States Period, a man named Bian He found a piece of rough jade and presented it to the two monarchs of the state of Chu successively.
The King of Chu thought he had been deceived, so he ordered his feet to be chopped off.
Bian He, who lost both feet, cried for three days and three nights at the foot of the mountain with Yupu in his arms.
Later, when King Wen of Chu found out about this, he ordered the jade to be brought, and after slicing it open, it was found that it was indeed a piece of unparalleled precious jade.
This is the later "He's Bi"
.
That is, the prototype of the "Jade Seal of the Kingdom" that began with Qin Shi Huang.
The "jade seal" of later generations is also said to be modeled on the "He's jade".
After watching it for a while, Hu Muzhi also understood why the Yucuiju was closed yesterday or even for several days.
Because I went to Burma to enter the original stone.
This Yucuiju not only does the jade business, but also sells the rough stones brought back from Myanmar at the door for everyone to gamble.
As long as the jadeite can be cut and the texture is good, it can be sold to the store on the spot.
It can be said that this jade green residence provides people with the opportunity to gamble on stones.
suddenly--
Several sighs erupted from the crowd.
"It's a pity, a pity.
"Yes, the water head looks good, it is colorless and worthless.
"It needs a little bit of color, even if it's just a touch of green, it can sell for a lot of money.
Listening to everyone's words, Hu Muzhi looked towards the cutting machine.
I saw that on the fixed frame, a basketball-sized rough stone was divided into two,
The cross section reveals a large piece of colorless and transparent, giving a crystal clear texture like glass.
"Glass kind of colorless jade." Hu Muzhi's eyes narrowed.
The glass species is the best among jadeites, and is known as "Lu Bu among people, and red rabbits among horses".
And the reason why everyone sighed is because, in this era.
Whether it is ice or glass colorless jadeite, there is basically no place in the market.
In Burma, it is even regarded as waste, and it is sold and disposed of.
Some are also used as building materials to build houses as foundations.
This is mainly because everyone defines the quality of a piece of jade according to its color.
In the Qing Dynasty, when jadeite first entered the Dragon Kingdom, there was no identification standard.
Therefore, we can only estimate its approximate value with reference to the standard of Hetian jade.
Hetian ancient jade, the jade color is warm and moist, the jade quality is delicate, and the texture is mostly between translucent or opaque.
Therefore, jadeite close to Hetian ancient jade in color, texture, etc. was regarded as a treasure, that is, glutinous and bean jadeite were popular at that time.
However, colorless ice and glass jadeite are not welcome.
But aesthetics can change over time.
Mid 90's.
People's aesthetics originally stayed only in the color of jade, but with the passage of time, it has been upgraded to a more comprehensive level of species, water, color, and workmanship.
In addition, the West has made a standard evaluation for gemstones, and the resources of jadeite are decreasing day by day.
This made the price of ice and glass jade 560 soar.
Beginning in the 21st century, jadeite collection is no longer limited to the level of distinguishing noble from green.
The colorless ice and glass jadeites, which have been unknown for a long time, have sprung up suddenly and become the "upstarts" in the jadeite market, and their prices have risen rapidly.
Ice and glass jadeites are worth millions or even tens of millions, and they have repeatedly achieved good results in major auctions with full green jadeite.
A lot of shocking high prices have been auctioned, which are very affordable.
Regarding the judgment of the seed, the more transparent the jade is, the better the seed is; on the contrary, the more opaque the jade is, the worse the seed is.
Therefore, as long as the water is good, even if there is no color, the value is not low.
But these, only Hu Muzhi knows.
Because the colorless jade like this kind of glass, when its value reaches one million one kilogram, it will be fifteen years later.
And this basketball-sized rough stone, according to Hu Muzhi's estimation, will be worth at least 500w after fifteen years.
It also belongs to the level of hard-to-find greenery.
Without any hesitation, Hu Muzhi headed towards the buyer who was standing beside the stone cutter and cut out the colorless jadeite of the glass type.
This kind of 'leak', nothing can be missed.
