Antique Dealer

Chapter 57 Take a Detour
Wu Hongchang walked in front arrogantly, like a rooster winning a battle.

A young man next to him opened his mouth, and finally said bravely: "Young Master Wu, Mr. Li also chose this piece of wool at the beginning, but he gave up in the end."

Wu Hongchang paused in his steps, and his face immediately turned down: "Why, you mean this piece of material is not good? Why didn't you say it when I bought it just now?"

The young man hastily argued: "No, Mr. Li just said that this piece of wool is not cost-effective, and it should be able to solve the increase, but the value of the jadeite that may be solved may not be too high, and the loss should not be lost."

"Then why didn't you say it when we bet just now!" Wu Hongchang's lungs were about to explode.

The young man bowed his head and said nothing, he couldn't say anything, just now his wife sent him a message, and he was busy replying.

Wu Hongchang's original good mood was just ruined, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Fang Hao, is it really my nemesis?"

Thinking of this, he thought of running away. To him, his face is definitely not worth 50 yuan.

Only at this time, there was another burst of laughter from behind. He looked back and saw Fang Hao and the others looking at him with a smile, obviously not saying anything good.

If Fang Hao and Liu Shi laughed at him, he would be a little angry at most, but if he was laughed at by two beauties, Luo Xi and Tang Wei, it would not be as simple as losing face.

In an instant, his heart began to gather again, and he felt strange about his cowardice just now. Isn't it because Mr. Li said that this piece of wool is not cost-effective?So what, Teacher Li's betting on stones is not [-]% correct.

What's more, among the few pieces of wool that he bought just now, only the one chosen by Mr. Li collapsed, and the two pieces of wool that he made a decision all rose sharply, which is all due to him.

Thinking of this, Wu Hongchang became full of enthusiasm again, thinking that he would definitely win this time, even if he lost, he would at most lose 50 yuan, since he has already earned today, 50 yuan is no big deal!
A group of people came to the place where the stone was resolved, and as soon as they reached the door, someone from inside greeted them.

One of them, a middle-aged man with a bald head, greeted him with a smile: "Young Master Wu, I heard you got another good deal!"

"Is it a good product, you don't know?" Wu Hongchang glanced at the middle-aged man angrily, and pointed to the piece of wool he had chosen: "Help me untie this piece of wool quickly."

"Okay, Xiao Zheng, prepare this piece of material, and it will be on the plane later!" The middle-aged man shouted into the store, muttering in his heart: "These rich second generations are really difficult to deal with, and the bet has increased so much. You still have such a big temper!"

The master Li that Wu Hongchang invited also came over, seeing that Wu Hongchang chose this piece of wool, he frowned slightly: "Young Master Wu, why did you choose this piece of wool, the price of this piece of wool is not high! "

The second time Wu Hongchang heard such words, he felt unhappy again: "Why do you say that?"

Master Li explained: "This is a piece of frog skin that can get stuck in the mouth. Its characteristic is that the water head in the green area is generally not bad, just like the window shows. However, the disadvantages of this kind of leather are also obvious. The unwrapped wool has more cracks, so I didn't recommend you to gamble before."

Wu Hongchang heard that this was the case, and immediately felt relieved: "Look at the performance of this window, isn't it pretty good?"

"This..." Master Li couldn't say, he felt vaguely wrong about this piece of wool, so he had to say: "Since you have already bought it, you can untie it and have a look, anyway, the loss is not going to go anywhere. .”

Wu Hongchang asked again: "Then do you think the jadeite that can be solved can exceed 50?"

Master Li laughed: "How can you be 50% sure about betting on stones? But, if the emeralds inside are as shown in the window, let alone [-], it is possible to have more than a million."

Wu Hongchang felt relieved after hearing this, and looked at Fang Hao next to him.

"This bitch is still laughing, do you think you're going to be determined!" Liu Shi murmured to Fang Hao in a low voice.

Fang Hao said with a smile: "Let him do what he wants, the moon shines on the river, and he will cry soon."

"Are you so confident?" Liu Shi felt that Fang Hao's confidence was a good thing, but if it was conceited, it would be a bad thing.

"I have a clue in my heart." Fang Hao smiled: "Just take this opportunity, you also look at how Jieshi is finished, look at that master, he is just marking the rough stone, don't look at the line as if it is very simple, In fact, this is a matter of experience and skill. If you make a mistake and cut more jade meat, if it is a high-grade jadeite, it may cause a very large loss.

For example, if the material that could have been made into a bracelet is cut a little too much, it cannot be made into a bracelet.This master may be more cautious in drawing lines based on the performance of the window.Well, the next step is to use the cutting machine. Based on the current situation, I think a small cutting machine should be used later. "

Tang Wei asked curiously, "Is the cutting machine a machine for cutting wood like a carpenter?"

"almost."

Fang Hao explained: "We mainly use three methods in China, using large-scale cutting machines or medium-sized oil-immersed cutting machines to cut large pieces of jadeite raw materials. Cutting jadeite raw materials suitable for ornaments, the saw blade is thinner and cooled by water, the saw edge is smaller, and the loss of raw materials is also small.

Finally, a small cutting machine is used to cut jadeite raw materials such as cards, pendants, and toys. The saw blade is as thin as paper, and there is basically no loss of raw materials. "

Sure enough, as Fang Hao said, everyone came to the area where the small cutting machine was placed.

Master Li saw that Fang Hao and others were also following, and asked the young man who was following Wu Hongchang in a low voice: "Xiao Zhang, are these people young master Wu's friends?"

"Master Li, didn't you notice I gave you winks just now?" Xiao Zhang was in a very bad mood at the moment. If he had known this, he should have secretly called Master Li just now.

"I thought your eyes were uncomfortable." Master Li was a little speechless, thinking: "This Xiao Zhang, make your eyes look a little more normal, it looks like you have bugs in your eyes."

Then he asked again: "What's going on?"

Standing next to the cutting machine, Wu Hongchang looked up and saw his own people whispering, feeling a little upset: "Why are you dawdling there?"

Seeing this, Xiao Zhang had no choice but to make a long story short: "Young Master Wu made a bet with that little boy. We'd better pray that the jadeite obtained from this piece of wool will be worth more than 50 yuan!"

Master Li was stunned. No wonder Wu Hongchang asked him like that just now. It turned out that this was the case. Looking at the woolen materials that had already been put on the shelves, it was impossible for him to stop him. If he had known this, he would not have said that just now!
