Antique Dealer

Chapter 272 Arrangements

Uncle Jiang came over with a teacup. He was a little surprised why Fang Hao was interested in this stone. He thought for a while: "It seems that in 82, when I was collecting waste from a family, the hostess wanted to take this piece of stone. The stone was thrown away, and I thought the shape of the stone was good, so I moved it back. Is there any explanation for this stone?"

Fang Hao said: "This should be a rough emerald stone."

Uncle Jiang was taken aback: "Ah! You mean, is this the kind of stone they call emerald betting stones?"

Fang Hao said: "Yes, there may be emeralds in this kind of stone."

Uncle Jiang was surprised, and recalled: "Oh, I remembered, the hostess said at that time that her father-in-law was engaged in geological exploration."

Fang Hao nodded slightly, which made sense: "Let me take a look first, if this rough stone is gambling, can you sell it to me?"

Uncle Jiang waved his hand: "I have also heard about gambling with stones from others. It is said that some people can indeed make a fortune by gambling with stones, but most of them lose money. If you want it, I will give it to you."

Uncle Jiang's idea is very simple. He doesn't understand such things as betting on stones. To him, this is just a stone. Even if it is a rough emerald, who knows if there is any emerald in it?And Fang Hao has helped him so much, the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, he has nothing to repay Fang Hao, since Fang Hao wants this stone, he should give it to Fang Hao.

Of course, Fang Hao couldn't agree to this matter: "I've accepted your old wish, but I still have to pay the money that should be paid. Let me take a closer look. If it's gambling, I'll buy it. You how do you feel?"

Uncle Jiang wanted to give the original stone to Fang Hao, so of course he had no objection to it.

Fang Hao used a bright flashlight to carefully observe the material of this black black sand.

This piece of material has sand all over the body, very hard sand, feels good, the skin of the head is very even, without a trace of cracks, this performance is still good, but the light is green mist, which will bring a lot of damage to the gambling stone. Uncertainty.

In addition, there is ringworm on this material.

Ringworm belongs to the associated ore of jadeite, which is generally gray, black or dark green, with poor hardness and great destructive power to jadeite.

Among them, the straight ringworm invades the jade meat, and the finished product is difficult to avoid, which has a greater impact; the lying ringworm stops on the surface and has little impact. As for the small defects such as cloud-like cotton wadding or fly wings, it is not difficult to find them by inspection with the help of lights.

Many stone gamblers love and hate ringworm. What they love is "colored under ringworm". Often there is a mass of color hidden under "ringworm", which makes you ecstatic.What I hate is "ringworm eats color", it's like seeing a favorite snack, eating all the green color of a rough stone, some ringworm and color are hugged together, and the jadeite cannot be taken out at all.

The ringworm on this piece of material is gray ringworm, not scattered, and there is a certain degree of gambling.

There are other features. Fang Hao inspected them one by one. After a while, he made a decision. The material as a whole has a certain degree of gambleability. If he encounters it in other places, he will basically not buy it. Coincidentally, he felt that he could buy it for a gamble, and it would be considered a favor for Uncle Jiang.

Therefore, Fang Hao truthfully stated his views on this piece of wool to Uncle Jiang, and was willing to spend 5 yuan to buy this piece of jadeite wool.

Uncle Jiang is willing to give the raw materials to Fang Hao, and Fang Hao will not treat him badly. He is going to ask Kong Yi for help later. On the premise that Uncle Jiang is willing, he can live in the nursing home under the name of Kong Yi's family.

The savings in Uncle Jiang's hands should be able to last for ten years if used sparingly.If there is no money at that time, he will not ignore it.

In case the betting stone goes up, it might be able to help Fang Hao complete the task, let alone.

This is all a matter of heart to heart, you are kind and I am kind, if you steal and play tricks, then don't blame him for repaying him in his own way.

Uncle Jiang wanted to give the raw materials to Fang Hao, he didn't care about the price, and thought that 5 yuan was too expensive, so he pushed back and forth with Fang Hao, but Fang Hao had to agree.

After Fang Hao transferred the account, he originally thought that the system should have a feedback immediately, but unexpectedly found that there was no response at all.

Is this piece of wool a bet?Or is it because of the task that he won't be able to easily know whether it is going up or down, and the system will not resume the prompt until he completes the task?

These two possibilities exist, so Fang Hao had no choice but to put the matter aside and said, "Mr., when are you planning to go to the nursing home?"

"Boss Fang, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm worried that my grandson will trouble me when he comes back. I wish I could live in a nursing home right now."

When this matter was mentioned, Uncle Jiang began to worry. The selection of a nursing home is a process, and it is impossible to live in it. During this period of time, he will definitely be treated viciously by his grandson, and he panics when he thinks about it.

"Then let me make a call."

Fang Hao took out his mobile phone and dialed Kong Yi's number. This matter was just a trivial matter to Kong Yi, so he agreed immediately. However, he was somewhat curious when he learned that Fang Hao had taken a fancy to a piece of wool. His family made jade jewelry. For business, ask Fang Hao if he wants to untie it now, he can provide a venue.

After finishing the call, Fang Hao said, "If there is a nursing home with a good environment that allows you to live in it now, would you like it?"

"Yes, very much!"

Uncle Jiang couldn't help being overjoyed, he agreed without even thinking about it, and he was quite embarrassed: "It's just that this will trouble you too much?"

Fang Hao smiled and said no trouble, and asked Uncle Jiang to pack his luggage and set off now.

Next, Fang Hao helped Uncle Jiang pack his luggage, got in the car and set off.Before leaving, he told the old lady Guo Xinlan that the old lady was happy for Uncle Jiang and said that she would contact him if there was anything.

Less than 5 minutes after the car left, Jiang Daode hurried back. At this moment, his face was gloomy as if it was going to rain, and he kept muttering and cursing.

After he took the jade bi before, he happily went to Panjiayuan to sell goods. He was told at the first shop that the jade bi was only worth a few hundred dollars. He thought the other party was a profiteer, so he went to the second shop cursing. However, after the second company saw it, it directly refused to accept it, which made him feel that something was wrong.

Next, he went to several companies to inquire about prices one after another, and the highest price did not exceed 500 yuan. At last, he realized the reality that this piece of jade was really worthless.

At this time, he realized that Mrs. Guo's reaction was correct, and it was true when he thought about it. The old lady Guo didn't have many cities at all, so how could she cooperate with Fang Hao? he.

"What the hell, the acting is so similar, why don't you just become an actor?"

"Open the door!"

Jiang Daode slammed on the door, but after calling for a while, no one inside responded: "Damn, you're an old bastard!"

Cursing, Jiang Daode took out the key to open the door, looked into the room, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if the room was a little empty.

"No!"

Jiang Daode was startled, and hurried into Uncle Jiang's room, only to find that the room was empty, and some daily necessities were missing.He hurriedly went to open the closet again and found that the closet was also quite empty.

"Nimma, what's going on!"

Jiang Daode was dumbfounded. After a while, he came back to his senses and hurried out to find Mrs. Guo.

"Bah!"

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Xiao Jiang."

Mrs. Guo didn't dare to open the door, so she asked behind the door, "What's the matter with you?"

"Where is my grandpa?"

"I don't know that!"

"I really don't know? I heard that your daughter is a teacher."

"You...you bastard!"

"I'll ask you, tell me or not!"

Mrs. Guo hesitated for a while, but in the end she still didn't dare to bet that Jiang Daode didn't dare to do anything, so she could only say, "He has gone to a nursing home."

"Is that Fang's help?"

"I don't know. Your grandpa just told me that he went to a nursing home, and didn't say anything else."

"Which nursing home?"

"I don't know which nursing home."

"Damn old woman, do you think I can't do what I say?" Jiang Daode said viciously.

The old lady Guo shouted: "Jiang Daode, I have told you everything I know. If you threaten me again, I will call the police now!"

Jiang Daode's tone immediately softened: "Grandma Guo, you see we are also old neighbors, don't let the relationship become so tense! Look, I want to know where my grandpa is now, it's normal, in case something happens , I also need to know how to notify him!"

"I said I don't know, but I just don't know."

"Okay then, I'll go to another place to ask."

Jiang Daode knew that Mrs. Guo loved her daughter the most, and he didn't answer such pressing questions, so he must really not know.Now if I want to know which nursing home the old man goes to, I can only go to Fang Hao to find out.

"Hey! How can there be such an easy thing!"

Jiang Daode suddenly came up with an idea, and went straight to the police station: "Comrade police, I want to report that someone illegally took my grandfather away, trying to steal his savings!"

When the reception policeman heard it, he immediately paid attention to it: "What's your grandfather's name?"

"His name is Jiang Afu." Just as Jiang Daode said his grandfather's name, he noticed that the policeman's expression changed.

The policeman looked at the information and asked, "Is your home at No. xx alley?"

"Yes." Jiang Daode felt something was wrong.

"Your grandpa has come to us to register before. He is now living in a nursing home and has written a statement that he does not want to have any contact with you."

As he spoke, the police showed the statement written by Uncle Jiang.

The corner of Jiang Daode's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that he would do such a terrific thing, even thinking of such a thing.

After reading the statement, he said angrily that the old man must have been fooled by Fang Hao, and his grandfather was a little unclear, so he did not admit that the statement was valid.

Of course, the police will not easily believe Jiang Daode's words, and the relationship between Uncle Jiang's family can be known through the neighborhood committee.Everyone can see Jiang Daode's usual attitude towards Uncle Jiang, but it's just because this is Uncle Jiang's family matter, and Uncle Jiang didn't take the initiative to make an appeal, so it's hard to manage.

Jiang Daode messed around for a while, but seeing no effect at all, he had to leave angrily, thinking that he must make Fang Hao look good.

Fang Hao sent Uncle Jiang to the Kangyi Nursing Home under the name of the Kong family.

This nursing home is a mid-to-high-end nursing home with a beautiful environment and excellent service. Uncle Jiang is quite satisfied with it, but at the same time he is worried that he does not have enough money.

Fang Hao let Uncle Jiang live in peace of mind, first signed a three-year contract with this place, and paid the three-year fee.

Because of Kong Yi's relationship, the fee has been reduced to a certain extent. Uncle Jiang found that, according to the amount paid this time, he should be able to live here for ten years, which was something he could not imagine before.

Uncle Jiang was very moved and made up his mind that after a while, he will do justice. If he dies, all his inheritance will be left to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao didn't expect that his actions could make Uncle Jiang have such an idea. After he settled Uncle Jiang, he went to meet Kong Yi.

When meeting Kong Yi, it was already dinner time, they had a light meal first, and then went to Jieshi.

During the period, Fang Hao chatted with Shang Xiaoxuan and learned that Shang Xiaoxuan was also having dinner with Tang Yunjuan. The two were very interested in knowing that Fang Hao had a piece of wool to untie, and asked if they could come.

Fang Hao had no objection, so he talked to Kong Yi again, and of course Kong Yi also had no objection.

The Beijing headquarters of Kong Jewelry is a nine-story building that integrates design, research and development, production, e-commerce and other functions.

After the two arrived, they waited for a while before Shang Xiaoxuan and Tang Yunjuan arrived in a hurry.

After saying hello, Tang Yunjuan noticed the black black sand wool at Fang Hao's feet, and went up to have a look: "Is this the wool you are going to cut later?"

Fang Hao smiled slightly: "Yes, that's it, don't you think there is no gambling?"

Tang Yunjuan waved her hand: "I will not express my opinion casually on the material you choose, lest I be slapped in the face by the result."

I have known Fang Hao for so long, and I also know all kinds of magic of Fang Hao, even if Fang Hao chooses a piece of ugly material, maybe he will produce glass seeds.

Fang Hao said with a smile: "I'm not a god, I can choose the right one for everything."

Tang Yunjuan also smiled and said, "Hey, that's not a good idea, are you right?"

Everyone else laughed.

When everyone entered the lobby on the first floor, Fang Hao noticed that there was a jade-carved Martial God of Wealth Profound Altar Zhao Gongming in the lobby.

As for Zhao Gongming, I believe that everyone who is familiar with the list of gods knows him. The folks respect him and Guan Erye as the god of wealth and wealth. His magic power is boundless.Zhao Gongming has a black face and a black face, which is said to be a mysterious altar.With Zhao Gongming around, the demons are overwhelmed, villains dare not commit crimes, the business is booming, and the wealth is plentiful.

This jade statue of Zhao Gongming is more than two meters high, and the material is Hetian jade mountain material. Although the material is not very good, it is very rare for such a large one. Not only is it expensive, but it may not be available for purchase.

The key point is that the carving of this statue is also very exquisite. Zhao Gongming's eyebrows are raised, his eyes are open, he is holding a steel whip in his left hand and an ingot in his right hand.The right foot is lifted high up on the seat, and the shape is mighty.He is in full military attire, with a big and bulging belly, and exaggerated sleeves, showing a more majestic, rough, dignified and steady state.

This statue is vivid and lifelike, with a grand style and a solid and thick texture. It is not a master who can't carve such a taste.

Such a statue placed here not only has the meaning of making money, but also reflects the company's financial resources and the strength of craftsmen.

From the perspective of appreciating art, everyone watched and discussed it, and then followed Kong Yi to a warehouse specially used for dissolving stones.

Before entering the warehouse, Kong Yi asked Fang Hao and the others to register. At the same time, he took a photo of Fang Hao's piece of wool and printed it out for Fang Hao to sign. Don't even think about coming out again.

In this warehouse, there are large, medium and small machines for dissolving stones, as well as many large and small jadeite materials.

Tang Yunjuan and Shang Xiaoxuan whispered to each other, envious of this place, and said that they will have such a warehouse when they have strength in the future.

Although it was getting late at the moment, there were still a few people here to interpret stones. These people were headed by a middle-aged man in his 40s and wearing overalls.

The middle-aged man folded his arms, looked at the worker who was rubbing the stone in front of him, and waited for the result.

He felt someone coming in, looked back, and found that Kong Yi had brought someone in, explained to the workers next to him, and walked towards Kong Yi and the others.

Kong Yi introduced the two parties. The middle-aged man Yun Botao is the stone gambling consultant of Kong Jewelry. His jewelry has created hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth, and of course Kong will not treat him badly. Not only is his salary high, but he also has various bonuses and commissions.

Yun Botao learned that Kong Yi brought Fang Hao over to resolve the stone, looked at Fang Hao's selection of wool, frowned slightly, and immediately let go.

"Mr. Yun, why didn't you go back so late today?"

"Manager Kong Ye bought a batch of materials this time, a small part of which was fully covered. In the afternoon, I opened two pieces, but the results were not good. I asked the general manager for instructions, and he asked me to take the rest of the pieces. Let me analyze the reason if the result is also bad."

Kong Yi also frowned. Kong Ye was his distant cousin. He worked in Kong Jewelry after graduating from university. Now he is the manager of the procurement department, mainly responsible for the procurement of jadeite raw materials.

It stands to reason that Kong Ye can only buy clear and semi-explained materials. It is too weird why he got all the gambling materials this time, and the result is not good.

"Did he want to enter all these materials?" Kong Yi asked.

Yun Botao shook his head: "He didn't say it, but the general manager should know."

This matter can only be asked later, Kong Yi did not mention this matter again, and saw the workers not far away stop the machine in their hands, indicating that the stone rubbing was over.

"Let's go take a look."

Kong Yi and his entourage came to the place where the stone was rubbed, and found that the worker rubbed the stone was also a piece of black black sand.

Yun Botao squatted down to check the opened window, his expression immediately became serious.

Fang Hao also took a closer look, and found that the window of this piece of wool was indeed in poor condition, with green fog.

The green mist on the jadeite wool is a secondary green produced by the chlorite-like clay material near the surface of the jadeite gravel. It is not the color of the jadeite itself. Its color is gray-green, dark green or blue-green, generally grayish. , Dark, no color roots, the color diverges, becomes lighter, and turns white under strong light.

The native green of jadeite is generally brighter, with tangible roots, and the color will not fade under strong light, but more vivid and obvious.

This piece of wool in front of me has a bluish-green appearance on the surface of the skin, and its transparency has increased, giving people the impression that it is the characteristic of oily green jadeite, which is the manifestation of the secondary green mist.Like this kind of wool, the jade that is extracted basically has no original green color, and is mainly white. In short, it is blocked.

Yun Botao illuminated the window with a strong flashlight again, which further confirmed Fang Hao's judgment. Next, Yun Botao drew a line on the wool and instructed the workers to cut it from this line.

When Yun Botao finished his work, Kong Yi asked: "Mr. Yun, did the result not go well?"

Yun Botao sighed: "It's really not good, I guess it's another piece of broken material."

Kong Yi was silent for a moment, noticing that an oil immersion cutting machine stopped not far away, and a worker was taking out a piece of jadeite wool from it, which was also one of Kong Ye's recycling materials.

The worker brought the wool material in front of everyone. It was a piece of yellow sand skin material, which looked good on the surface. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yun Botao took off the cut part with a hammer, revealing the cut surface. In the vast expanse, the bet was obviously broken again.

Yun Botao smiled wryly and said, "This is already the fifth piece of wool that has been gambled today."

The corner of Kong Yi's mouth twitched. He really wanted to find Kong Ye and asked, "Are you poisonous?"

Shang Xiaoxuan was beside Fang Hao, and asked in a low voice, "How much does this piece of wool cost in the market?"

Fang Hao told her: "At least it will not be less than 50."

Shang Xiaoxuan secretly smacked her tongue. If everything goes on like this, the 50 yuan will be lost a lot. If the rest cannot be solved for the jadeite, at least 50 yuan will be in vain. No wonder there is an old saying about jadeite betting on stones. A knife is rich and a knife wears linen.

Thinking of this, she began to worry about Fang Hao again.
