Chapter 645 I am an expert
Zhang Wufeng naturally knew that this test of luck was actually set up by her and Lao Fang, to find a person with great luck to help her complete Shi En's journey and resolve the disaster.
So, he nodded calmly.
Although Zhang Wufeng could feel that the green inside was purer and greener than the green outside, and a pleasing green, it was indeed imperial green, and its value could reach more than 16 million. However, Zhang Wufeng did not gamble again. The money was enough.
"Well, that's no problem, although I'm sure the quality of the stone inside should be higher! But if Miss Sun wants to buy it, I'll sell it to her!"
"Haha, you are really good!" Miss Sun smiled, praised again, and then without frowning, she wrote out another check for twelve million.
Zhang Wufeng took it without hesitation.
"Miss Sun, do you want to continue wiping?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Well, of course I have to continue. If it's really imperial green, it's just right for making a set of jewelry." Miss Sun said with a smile.
Zhang Wufeng felt the business card in his pocket. The woman's surname was Sun, and her name was Sun Feifei. On the light yellow business card with an ancient style, there was only a name and a phone number starting with 136, nothing else.
Seeing this familiar business card again, the warmth in his heart was still hard to let go, but feeling the lovely girl beside him, Zhang Wufeng no longer hesitated.
……
The old man smiled, changed the direction of the stone, and rubbed it a few times. After wiping off the stone chips, he frowned slightly, then rubbed it a few more times, resulting in a white line.
"This, with the flower underneath, the possibility of producing imperial green is not very high." The old man pondered and finally said it.
Miss Sun was a little disappointed, but she didn't care. She continued, "The green in the front is not bad either. Master, please continue to polish it until you have a rough idea of it. If the front part is larger, it will be good for making jewelry."
Although she was a little disappointed, Sun Feifei still didn't care much. It was obvious that even if she lost the bet, the 12 million would still not have much impact on her!
At this moment, many people in the hall were already talking about it. Apparently, this incident had caused enough of a stir.
However, as he continued to wipe, the old man's hands trembled, and Miss Sun's face also showed obvious joy. It seemed that she was not happy because the bet had increased, but because she was happy that the imperial green jewelry had been found.
"Imperial green, it is indeed imperial green. Although it is not big, its value is worth no less than 16 million! Miss Sun, congratulations!" The old man said with a smile. At this time, it is no longer necessary to wipe it, but it needs to be wiped slowly and carefully. This cannot be solved in a short time.
"Haha, thank you, Master Chef, and thank you, Brother Zhang Wufeng. I wonder if you have time to have a meal? I'll treat you to dinner at Fuye Hotel!"
Sun Feifei said excitedly, and at this time, she showed the lovely side of a girl.
Zhang Wufeng had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that this was just a young girl. Although she was dressed fashionably and maturely, she looked to be around 24 years old. She casually called him "little brother" not because of her age, but just a manifestation of her high status.
"Well, okay, when Miss Sun is free, please call Lao Fang, Uncle Fang, too. I will definitely bring my girlfriend along then."
Zhang Wufeng said with a smile. At this time, in front of Sun Feifei, he deliberately hugged Su Ru, which made Su Ru extremely embarrassed and also made Sun Feifei feel a little surprised and confused? What was he doing?
"Okay, that's good. Yeah, I'll contact you."
Sun Feifei said with a smile.
……
"Haha, you know, I've wanted a set of imperial green jewelry for a long time. I'm very happy to have the chance to realize it this time. Thank you for agreeing to have dinner with me, thank you!"
Sun Feifei said with a smile and gave Zhang Wufeng a gentle smile.
Zhang Wufeng's gaze paused slightly, because he could see Sun Feifei's big eyes through her sunglasses, and thus knew her beautiful face. So this smile was indeed very heart-warming, and it almost instantly reminded Zhang Wufeng of the moment when Feifei turned around and left, with tears flying. His heart trembled slightly, but he still regained his composure in just a moment.
……
On the way, Su Ru still seemed a little bit unbelievable. She just made 14 million?
This is too...
"Su Ru, let's go buy a car now, and buy a house tomorrow, a house of our own, what do you think?" Zhang Wufeng hugged Su Ru. After going out, he was no longer afraid of being robbed. He used to be afraid, but now he has nothing to fear. He can deal with any situation. Now he is not a person who can be trampled upon by others.
"Okay, but having so much money all of a sudden makes me feel a little uneasy, as if I were dreaming." Su Ru said softly.
Zhang Wufeng smiled and said, "It's not a dream, it's real. How about I kiss you and you'll know. You may think that gambling on stones is easy, but I have spent nearly two years studying it day and night." "Ah - so you have been studying this for the past two years?"
"Well, I'm an expert."
"The taxi is here." Zhang Wufeng waved his hand, then told the taxi driver the address of the Hyatt Hotel, and then he and Su Ru sat in the back seat of the car.
"Wufeng, have you studied gambling stones thoroughly?"
"Yes, well, to prevent you from worrying, I will give you some random knowledge to put your mind at ease."
"Okay, then you tell me. I have read related books before and have some understanding, but only the basics." Su Ru said with a smile.
Nestled in Zhang Wufeng's arms, the feeling was very warm and comfortable.
"The so-called gambling on stones is actually some primitive natural accumulation. How should I put it? Let's start with jadeite.
Let's talk about high-end jade first. Let's put it this way. The color must have a certain concentration. It is dark, but not dark, bright and pure green, that is, the color is not grayish, and the uniformity is good. In addition, the texture is relatively fine and the transparency is also relatively good, that is, glass. Of course, even if they are all called old pit varieties, their quality is relatively high or low. Some have higher transparency, and some have slightly lower transparency, so the value is also different, but in any case, as long as it is a more attractive variety of jade, it is often used to make high-end jewelry.
As for why it is called Laokeng, there is a reason. In the concept of Yunnan people, the older the jade, including jadeite, is, the most beautiful, including darker color and better transparency. In addition, this kind of jadeite is mostly found in the secondary deposits of Shien, and the Shien jadeite secondary deposits were mined earlier, so it is called Laokeng. Laokeng and Xinkeng are actually divided according to the years when people discovered and mined jadeite. From a geological point of view, they were formed in the same geological era underground. The secondary deposits of river sediments were transported to the riverbed and deposited by the river during the Quaternary period. It can be said that they are the later deposits in time.
Some experts have found through long-term practice that the quality of jadeite in "old pits" is better and the water content is more sufficient. This is a fact. The quality of jadeite found in river sedimentary deposits is better, with high color, fine texture and good transparency. For this situation, there is a reasonable explanation from the geological theory.
In fact, these phenomena that exist in jade deposits also exist in other gem deposits. For example, diamonds in placer mines are of better quality than those in primary deposits.
This is because the primary deposit actually contains ores of varying quality, which are transported by water and deposited into secondary deposits. Some poor quality jades, such as those with cracks, coarse grains, loose structures, and impure jades, will be naturally sorted and eliminated. In the end, the jades that remain in the riverbed are mainly those with tighter textures and finer structures. This kind of jade is often more transparent, but it is not caused by water entering. Water cannot enter the jade crystals. The quality of jade from the old pit is better because of this relationship.
The skin on the surface of jade is because when jade is exposed to the surface, it is oxidized and hydrolyzed by nature, causing some of the iron and manganese it contains to precipitate as iron oxide or manganese oxide attached to its surface, forming a shell, just like a knife that is not often used, which will have oxide and rust on its surface.
It can be said that the quality of jadeite in the 'old pit' is better, but there are also jadeite of better quality in the new pit, but it is relatively less. This is the result of unsorted! Now, do you understand?"
Zhang Wufeng said confidently that he didn't understand it before, but now, he understands it too well.
"Yes, I see. That's how it is. I've read some books on this before and I remember a few things about it. It seems to say the same thing."
"Yes, books are actually summaries of the essence of previous research, just like the identification of jadeite. Put the jadeite under a fluorescent light and observe its color change. A-grade and C-grade jadeite do not change, while B-grade jadeite has fluorescence and is whitish. C-grade jadeite is dyed, so its color is distributed along the cracks and is unevenly distributed. You can see it with the naked eye if you observe carefully.
The so-called A-grade jade is natural jade that has not been chemically treated and has natural color and texture.
B-grade jadeite, bleached and injected with glue, is jadeite that has been cleaned with strong acid and injected with glue. Strong acid soaking and cleaning help to improve the transparency and color of jadeite.
C-grade jadeite, also known as dyed jadeite, is jadeite that has been artificially colored, usually with organic or inorganic dyes.
B+C grade jadeite is jadeite that has been cleaned with strong acid, injected with glue, and artificially colored.
In terms of evaluation, color is the first factor in evaluating jadeite. The standards for good color are: positive, rich, bright, and even.
Positive refers to the range of tones, which is determined by the ratio of primary to secondary colors. That is to say, it should be pure green without any other colors mixed in. For example, if oil blue is often mixed in oil green, the value will be reduced.
"Thick" refers to the depth of color. As for jade green, the best concentration is between 70% and 80%. 90% is too thick.
Yang refers to the brightness of the color of jadeite. The brightness of jadeite is mainly determined by the ratio of green to black or gray. If the ratio of green is high, the color will be bright. If the ratio of black or gray is high, the color will be dull. Experts often use figurative methods to express the brightness of color. For example: boxwood green, parrot green, green onion green, pepper green, all refer to bright colors. Spinach green, oil green, river green, black green, refer to dull dark green colors.
The brighter the jade, the higher its natural value.
Even refers to the uniformity of the color distribution of jadeite. The color distribution of jadeite is generally uneven, and it is not easy to obtain jadeite with uniform color distribution.
The best color of jadeite should be pure green, with a green concentration of 70%-80%, bright color, and even color distribution. This kind of high-end jadeite is usually called Laokeng jade by experts. As for Laokeng jadeite, I have explained it to you before. "
