A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 44 Emerald, high ice sky blue!

[The work of cutting the stone is very delicate, because if you are not careful, the jade flesh inside the rough material will be damaged. Uncle Lei Lei worked for more than an hour before he finally cut out this piece of blue water jade. The edge of the jade, which required five fingers to hold, was mixed with some white crystal substances.

"It weighs about seven or eight pounds, and I think we can make four pairs of bracelets out of it. Leilei, your raw material has really increased in value."

The four icy blue jade bracelets are worth over five million, not to mention that the hollowed-out material could be made into a number of ornaments. The 180,000 yuan they were sold for is certainly a significant increase in value.

Earlier in the novel, when Lei Lei and the male protagonist Zhuang Rui were gambling on stones, the original text about cutting out ice-type blue water jadeite flashed through Zhou Qing's mind.

When he focused on checking the panel again, he saw that the column of extractable items had changed -

Extractable items: a piece of blue water jadeite, an entry-level astronomical telescope, a Ming Dynasty Huanghuali armchair, a string of deer meat, etc.

When Zhou Qing “saw” the new items, he suddenly felt excited as if his luck had finally exploded!
"Yeah, including the time I read through 'Water Margin', this is already the nineteenth time I've extracted items from a novel!"

He couldn't help but clench his fists and rub his hands.

According to the original content of the novel that just emerged in my mind, this stone is undoubtedly the blue water icy jadeite cut by "Lei Lei" in the novel!
And combined with the previous text, it is also high ice type!

"According to the article, this piece of jade weighs a full seven or eight kilograms, and it's all icy jade. It can be made into four pairs, or eight bracelets. The value of these bracelets alone is over five million!"

"The novel was written ten years ago."

"The author's reference is from at least ten years ago!"

Zhou Qing didn’t know much about the jade market, but he knew that the price now was definitely not the same as it was ten years ago!
"Also, the book also says that the material left over after cutting the bracelet can be made into a lot of jewelry... Well, the whole stone weighs seven or eight pounds. I wonder how much a jade bracelet usually weighs."

He opened the browser on his phone and did a search.

"A jade bracelet usually weighs between 60 and 90 grams. The weight varies depending on the diameter of the ring... so let's use the heaviest one, which is 90 grams. Eight bracelets would weigh 720 grams!"

Switching to the calculator on his phone, Zhou Qing did a quick calculation.

Subtract 720 grams from 78 jin, take the approximate number, and convert it, it is roughly equivalent to more than 2,700 grams.

"These are all of the blue water ice quality mentioned in the article, even high ice, worth a lot of money!"

He estimated that the blue water jadeite he won this time would bring him a profit of over 10 million yuan!
Zhou Qing paced back and forth in the narrow room excitedly, and finally made up his mind to extract the jade material first.

"If you don't see the real thing, it's hard to figure out how to sell it for money!"

He made up his mind and went to the desk without hesitation.

"The desk can definitely bear the weight of seven or eight kilograms."

Zhou Qing called out the panel and was about to extract it when he suddenly turned his head subconsciously to look at the door.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up, walked over to check, and after making sure the door was locked, he sat back down.

Concentrate your attention, touch the "Extractable Items" option with your mind, and have the idea: choose to extract the blue water jadeite material and place it on the desk.

The next moment, a stone half the size of a basketball appeared out of thin air on the table.

At first glance, the icy stone looks a bit blue with a slight black tint.

When I picked it up and held it under the light, I realized that it was not black at all, but clearly too blue and the jade flesh was too thick.

The whole stone looks like a piece of frozen blue sky, beautiful, so beautiful.

Zhou Qingju admired it intently for several minutes before putting the material back on the desk.

He stroked it with his hands, as if he was stroking the smooth skin of some stunning beauty, and he treasured it so much.

But he is ultimately a "scumbag" who only has a short-lived passion. After touching her enough, the first thing he thinks of is how to exchange her for money.

"The first two times I was lucky. I met the 'Wild Goose Returns to the West Tower' man online right from the start... I don't know if he accepts jade."

"But we can't rely on this channel for everything. That would be really suspicious."

Zhou Qing thought about it and decided to look up information first.

"I have to understand jade and the jade market first, then I can know the best way to operate it later!"

……

That night, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night.

While touching the jadeite of his own home, he learned about the knowledge and market conditions of jadeite through various platforms such as Baidu, Zhihu, Douyin, and Bilibili.

Thank you for this information age.

After some effort, he learned a lot of things, such as his stone, which is now called "top-quality sky blue" jadeite according to the popular term.

It is one of the most popular jade quality in the jade industry, comparable to the top-grade purple jade, the finest violet jade and the finest green jade.

Because of its popularity, this kind of top-quality sky blue stone is hard to come by, so the price keeps rising. According to the current soaring market conditions, a stone of my size, weighing seven or eight kilograms of pure jade, may even fetch 20 million if it sells well, let alone 10 million!
Moreover, jadeite collection is popular in China. As long as high-end jadeite like his is handled properly, it is not a problem to sell it for money!

But Zhou Qing also knew that the jade business was no less lucrative than the antique business.

After repeated consideration, from the perspectives of safety and maximum benefits, he decided to first find the boss of "Yan Hui Xi Lou".

After all, this thing is too valuable, and it is difficult to find a suitable buyer.

After all, he had cooperated happily with Boss Ruoshui twice. Compared with other unfamiliar buyers, this one was definitely much more reliable.

"At least try to test her first and see if she can recommend a skilled jade craftsman."

In fact, Zhou Qing also thought about buying tools to cut the stone into pieces, or even making finished bracelets, and then sending them to auctions or something like that... But the technical content in this area is much higher than most people imagine, and it is simply not something a novice like him can do.

If you don't study for three to five years, don't even think about it.

Just drawing the lines to cut the stone into pieces requires comprehensive consideration from the perspective of subsequent inventory...

At eight o'clock in the morning, sunlight shines in from outside the window.

Zhou Qing didn't sleep all night, but he was still in high spirits.

He found "Yan Hui Xi Lou," the WeChat account of Boss Jiang Ruoshui, and after a moment's deliberation, he typed, "Boss, are you up yet? I'd like to ask you, do you know anything about jadeite?"

I sent the message and waited for two minutes, but no reply.

"Did you not get up, or are you busy with something?"

Zhou Qing stood up, touched the treasure on the desk, and finally felt a little sleepy.

He turned and walked towards the bathroom, ready to wash his face and wake up.

As I walked to the small kitchen between the bathroom and the room, the phone on the desk rang.

He turned around subconsciously and ran back to the desk.

I picked up the phone and saw that it was indeed the boss who replied!
