Chapter 102 Stone Cutting King

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn is high and the clouds are clear, the sky is bright and the air is clear, and the wind is smooth.In the backyard of Wang's Jewelry, several osmanthus trees more than 20 years old exude a strong fragrance, soaking the heart and lungs.

In the corner of the small courtyard, quite a few people had already gathered. Among the crowd was a five-meter-tall boulder weighing dozens of tons. There were several cracks on the surface, and a faint green light shone from inside.

This is the original piece of jadeite in Yushixuan, with a price tag of 1200 million yuan.Although the water green can be seen from the cracks on the surface, many stone gamblers are uncertain about how big the emerald is inside the boulder and whether it is worth the 1200 million yuan.

However, the treasure of the town store, which had been placed in Yushixuan for more than two years, was taken down by Wang Huaichen, the owner of Wang's Jewelry, and others together more than ten days ago, and it was scheduled to be cut today. Many friends who love jade and jade came to watch.

After many friends gathered together, they found that Li Mingqiang, a well-known gold and stone expert, also came, and he was the one who cooperated with Wang's jewelry.

However, the large cutting machine and the small grinding machine were ready, and the jade cutting masters were also in place. However, Wang Huaichen and Li Mingqiang did not let them start cutting stones, but seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Old Wang, why haven't you started cutting stones? Are there experts to guide stone cutting?" someone in the crowd asked. People in their field know that cutting stones is sometimes more difficult than gambling on stones.

Not only must you rely on rich experience, but you must also have super sensitivity, otherwise even if you gamble on a piece of top-quality jade, its value will be greatly reduced if it is cut in half.

Therefore, there are indeed some expert-level masters in stone cutting. They can see the possible emerald positions inside from the grain slope of the rough jadeite, and then guide the stonecutter on how to cut the most complete jade.

"That's right, Mr. Li is an expert in gold and stone, isn't it he who will guide the stone cutting this time?"

"Everyone, please be patient. We have a partner who will be here soon. He will guide the stone cutting this time." Li Mingqiang smiled and stretched out his palms to press down on everyone, and everyone became quiet.

"Old Li, who is he? Does he know more about rough stones than you?" Some people don't believe that there is someone more powerful than Li Mingqiang.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Ha, there are so many people." At this moment, someone suddenly laughed at the gate of the small courtyard, and then saw a group of young people walking in, and the one leading the way was Wang Huaichen's daughter Wang Yuyan.

Everyone looked around after hearing the prestige, and found that a young man and a woman were walking in the front. The two seemed to be a pair of lovers, holding hands.Followed by three young people of about the same age, all looked like college students.

This group of people is of course Lin Fan and Guo Yuer, as well as Wang Biao, Zhou Xiaolin and Sun Mingren.Wang Biao knew that he was going to cut stones today, so he naturally wanted to come with Lin Fan, and after Sun Mingren and Zhou Xiaolin heard about it, they also wanted to come together to broaden their horizons.

"Old Li, Uncle Wang, we are late and kept everyone waiting." Lin Fan stepped forward to greet Li Mingqiang and Wang Huaichen, looking more casual and friendly.

"Grandpa, Uncle Wang." Guo Yuer let go of Lin Fan, took Li Mingqiang's arm affectionately, and then called Wang Huaichen with a sweet smile.

"Old Li, your granddaughter has the foresight and found a potential stock. To be honest with you, if Lin Fan hadn't gotten along with your granddaughter, I would have planned to introduce my daughter to him." Wang Huaichen nodded to Guo Yuer. Nodded, then joked with Li Mingqiang.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Why are you making fun of me? Where is this?" Everyone laughed, only Wang Yuyan complained dissatisfiedly to her father, her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Haha, let's stop talking, let's cut stones. Lin Fan, how about you instructing the stone cutter today?" Wang Huaichen laughed a few times, and then changed the subject.

Lin Fan nodded, and walked towards the Stone King, but the people around knew that the stone cutting was going to be done, and all backed away, because a lot of stone powder would be splashed when cutting the stone, and they would be choked if they were too close, and they didn't see the stone cutting. Are you all wearing masks?

For this stone king, Lin Fan had used his mental power to see through it last time in Yushixuan, and knew that it actually contained two pieces of emerald jade, one of which was only the size of a millstone, and the other was the size of a roller. The texture is also different, but can be called the best.

However, Lin Fan still used his mental power to inspect carefully again, and then picked up a piece of chalk and drew a circle along the position of about one-third of the upper half of Stone King, but the line is not flat, but One side is high and the other is low.

If he wanted to cut the stone according to the line he drew, the flywheel of the cutting machine would have to be tilted to cut from one side to the other. This was very difficult to operate, so the stone cutters nearby frowned when they saw it.

"Mr. Wang, do you want to cut this route?" A stone cutter couldn't help but turned around and asked Wang Huaichen.

"Cut according to this route." However, before Wang Huaichen answered, Lin Fan said coldly in an unquestionable tone.

"Mr. Wang, according to our experience, it is most appropriate to slowly rub off the surrounding stone skin first, and then rub out the jade inside little by little. If we cut according to the line drawn by this little brother, If it's broken, we won't be responsible."

"Master, I understand your concerns. If you cut it according to your method, the jade will not be damaged, but I am afraid it will be impossible to complete this project in a few days. Let's cut it according to the method I said. I guarantee that you will be able to call it a day and celebrate this morning." Lin Fan also knew the stone cutter's concerns, so he said to them with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Lin is also one of the owners of this stone king, so cut it according to what he said. As long as you don't make human mistakes in the process of cutting the stone, we will not hold you accountable even if there is any problem Yes." Wang Huaichen fully believed in Lin Fan and gave him great support.

"Okay, brothers, everyone, lift up the flywheel, pay attention to maintaining balance, and cut from bottom to top, and keep your hands steady." Now that Wang Huaichen has confirmed it, the stone cutter can't say anything, so he has to follow Lin's instructions. Where the drawn lines begin the cutting.

"call--"

The flywheel rotated crazily, rubbing against the rough stone and making a sharp and piercing sound, stirring up a thick cloud of smoke.Four master stonecutters carried the flywheel, one master controlled the flywheel, and another master poured water on the rough stone to prevent the flywheel from overheating and splashing sparks.

After more than ten minutes, the flywheel finally penetrated the rough stone and divided the whole rough stone into two halves.The four masters who lifted the flywheel were all sweating profusely. After putting down the flywheel, they shook their arms and let out a long breath.

After the small piece of rough stone above was placed on the ground, everyone immediately looked at the rough stone, and then everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The most fearful thing about this method of cutting stones is to cut a complete piece of jade from the middle. That would be a huge loss, but it doesn't seem to be the case now.

"Mr. Lin really has a good eye." Seeing that Lin Fan's judgment was correct, the stonecutters all changed their eyes, and looked at Lin Fan with admiration.

"Masters, drink some water and rest for a while, and then I'll see how to cut these two stones." Lin Fan just smiled. A capable person can gain the respect of others as long as he proves himself. It's the same everywhere.

Then, he carefully observed the two stones again, and drew some lines on them with chalk.At this time, everyone around him was looking at Lin Fan with burning eyes, observing his every move, hoping to learn something from him.

Five minutes later, Lin Fan had already drawn a lot of lines on the two stones, and then called several stone cutters over to instruct them to cut stones.For the small piece, Lin Fan decisively asked them to cut off some corners directly, and then left the stone skin wrapped around the emerald which was the size of a millstone inside.

As for the larger piece of rough stone, because the jadeite inside was too big, he asked the stone cutter to first remove some of the thicker stone skin, and then slowly polish it around the jadeite in the middle.

Now, the master stonecutters believed in Lin Fan's words more. They were divided into two groups. Two people took care of the small pieces slowly, while four cleaned up the big one. Obviously, the big one should be finished first.

Sure enough, after just over half an hour, the big piece of rough stone was only about the size of a person high and two people hugging each other. The stone cutter began to wipe it in different positions, and soon someone wiped out a layer of green light.

"Hahaha, it's green."

"Looking at the color of the green light, the jadeite inside is definitely of the water type."

"Maybe it's an ice species. You can see how clear and transparent the green light is. It's definitely the best."

The crowd around was a little restless, and everyone started talking, because seeing the green light meant that jade was about to come out.Among all kinds of jade, the green one is the best, so everyone is looking forward to the birth of this piece of jade.

Slowly, the green light became more and more intense, and the wiped area became wider and wider, and everyone's emotions became even higher, because those windows that had been completely wiped out looked crystal clear and transparent, from the inside to the outside. All are green and shiny again.

"Mr. Li, it must be from ice, right? Look at the color, could it be -" Wang Huaichen asked Li Mingqiang very excitedly from the side. If his idea was correct, this piece alone would have exceeded the 1200 million they spent to buy the Stone King. .

"Ice jade, Zhengyang green jade."

Li Mingqiang seemed to be equally excited, but he still stepped forward to use a professional small flashlight to shine on the jade and carefully looked at the part of the jade that had been wiped out. He found that he could almost see through from one side to the other, and then he stood up and spoke loudly to his surroundings. The expectant people said.
