I trade in both worlds
Chapter 194 Jade Appraisal
Xu Ziqi didn't even raise his eyebrows: "I will return you 8,000 taels of silver in two days."
"Alright, alright, fifty-fifty is fifty-fifty." Xu Ziqing murmured and complained, "Really, you don't know how to give in to the younger one at all."
Xu Xu looked at them speechlessly. The items hadn't been sold yet and they didn't even know how much they were worth, but they were already arguing about how to distribute them. She was convinced.
"Brother Xu, how are you going to sell these?" Xu Xu asked curiously.
Xu Ziqi held a piece of raw stone and rubbed it gently: "Let's find someone to appraise the value of these jades first."
"Who are you looking for?" Xu Ziqing looked at him curiously: "Do you have any friends who make jade?"
Xu Ziqi looked at her expressionlessly: "You will know if you contact Lin Feng."
"You, you, you..." Xu Ziqing suddenly stuttered.
Xu Xu looked at Xu Ziqi in surprise. He knew that Xu Ziqing and Lin Feng had an unusual relationship just after he came back?
"What do you mean by 'you'? Hurry up and contact him to find someone to identify it." Xu Ziqi gave her an unpleasant look: "How could such a smart man like him like you?"
Xu Ziqing looked at him with red cheeks and asked awkwardly, "How did you know?"
"You are like this, and you still want to hide it from me. Now, it's revealed after one try." Xu Ziqi looked at her proudly.
"You lied to me." Xu Ziqing forgot to blush and glared at Xu Ziqi: "You also secretly dated a girlfriend."
Xu Ziqi stroked his forehead and said, "I knew that Lin Feng would tell you everything without restraint. What is secret? I am in a normal relationship, but I just didn't tell you."
"Humph, I just didn't tell you." Xu Ziqing looked at him with his chin raised.
Xu Xu asked curiously, "Isn't marriage free here? Why don't you tell your family about your boyfriend or girlfriend?"
"Why should I say it? We are not at the stage of discussing marriage yet. It won't be too late to say it once we are sure of getting married. If I say it now, it will be redundant in case we break up." Xu Ziqi said
"Yes, if we're not sure whether we can make it to the end, we'd better not publicize it." Xu Ziqing also nodded.
"You are indeed siblings." Xu Xu said with a smile.
"Okay, contact Lin Feng quickly." Xu Ziqi urged.
"Hmph." Xu Ziqing picked up the phone and walked out: "Wait."
In the evening, Raymond Lam contacted Xu Ziqi and decided to take him to the clinic for identification the day after tomorrow.
The next morning, Xu Ziqi packed up the jadeite, took a large bag of dried wild hazel mushrooms given by Xu Xu, and went home with Xu Ziqing.
After a day of comfortable rest at home, Xu Ziqi and Xu Ziqing brought the jade and followed Lin Feng to the home of his jade appraiser friend, Li Minghui.
Li Minghui is a thin middle-aged man who always wears a pair of calm glasses on his face.
After greeting each other, Li Minghui looked at Xu Ziqi with a smile and asked, "I heard from Xiaofeng that you have some jade that you want to identify?"
Xu Ziqi nodded and replied with a smile: "I have some jadeite that I want to sell, and I would like you to help me identify it."
"Brother Hui is very famous in the jewelry appraisal industry." Lin Feng introduced from the side.
"Empty reputation, empty reputation, Xiaofeng, please stop talking about it." Li Minghui smiled and shook his hand: "Show me the jade you brought."
Xu Ziqing took out two boxes of raw stones from his bag, opened the boxes and placed them in front of Li Minghui.
Li Minghui's eyes lit up immediately.
He picked up a piece of jadeite rough stone and looked at it carefully.
Under the sunlight, the jade presents a dazzling translucency, like a piece of cool dewdrop or a burning flame.
He first used a professional magnifying glass to observe the texture and color of the jade, and then used a strong flashlight to illuminate it, carefully observing their texture and color, checking its light transmittance and fire effect.
"Glass-type." Li Minghui's voice was filled with a hint of surprise: "Look, the texture of this jade is so fine, without any graininess, and the light transmittance is extremely high. The fire effect is also very obvious. This is definitely top-grade glass-type jade!"
Xu Ziqi was excited when he heard this. He knew that glass jade was the best among all jades and was priceless. If these two rough stones were really glass jade, his wealth would instantly double.
Li Minghui is still observing carefully: "These two rough stones have great potential. If they are carved properly, their value will be immeasurable."
Xu Ziqi took out two pairs of jade bracelets from his bag: "Brother Hui, can you please take a look at these two pairs of bracelets as well?"
Li Minghui put down the rough stone, picked up the bracelet, and looked at it carefully.
Li Minghui put down the bracelet: "This is also glass. The texture is a little worse than the original stone, but it is also top-grade glass."
"Is it really glass-type?" Upon hearing the news, Xu Ziqi was so excited that he almost jumped up, but he held it back.
Although Xu Ziqing didn't know how much the glass-type jade could be sold for, seeing Xu Ziqi so excited, he knew without hesitation that these jades were extremely valuable.
"Really." Li Minghui answered affirmatively, "These jades of yours, whether accessories or raw stones, have reached the standard of glass-type jade."
"Brother Hui, what do you think I should do with these jades?" Xu Ziqi asked.
Li Minghui pondered for a moment, then said: "Zi Qi, I suggest you find a strong auction house to handle these jades. Moreover, the jade market is very complicated, and the auction house has a professional team that can help you avoid many risks."
Xu Ziqi nodded. He understood what Li Minghui meant. The jade market was indeed full of risks and opportunities.
"Brother Hui, do you have any familiar auction house that you can introduce to him? Or can you recommend one to him?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.
Li Minghui smiled and said, "If you trust me, then go to Huayu Auction House and find Manager Zhang who is in charge of jewelry auctions."
On the recommendation of Li Minghui, Xu Ziqi came to Huayu Auction.
The auction house is located in a luxurious building in the city center. The hall of the auction house is filled with various precious artworks and cultural relics, each of which exudes a unique atmosphere and value.
Xu Ziqi followed Manager Zhang to the appraisal room.
Several experienced jade appraisers gathered here, who will conduct rigorous identification and evaluation of this batch of jade.
The identification process is extremely rigorous, with each appraiser observing carefully with a magnifying glass and flashlight.
After more than an hour of appraisal and discussion, an older appraiser finally came to the conclusion: "This rough stone is indeed a top-grade glass jadeite rough stone. It has a fine texture, high light transmittance, and obvious fire effect."
Then, he picked up another rough stone: "This rough stone is also a top-grade glass jadeite rough stone. Its quality is comparable to the first rough stone."
Xu Ziqi decided to auction only two raw stones and keep the other jewelry for later.
