Chapter 124: The Belated Jadeite (Subscription Requested)

"Jade mine?"

Chen Jue was slightly stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly took the green, glittering ore from the iron golem to examine it.

Then a line of MC system subtitles appeared: [Nephrite Ore: A rare mineral, jadeite belongs to the pyroxene group, which can be refined into lower-quality jadeite and has certain economic value. (Note: Some top-quality jadeite can replace [Emerald] for trading.)]

"Low-quality jadeite? But it looks quite pretty."

Chen Jue looked at the ore in his hand, with a hint of joy on his face.

Since completing the 'Chen Ping Tunnel Line' last month, he had specially transferred a small team of 3 iron golems named 'Tie Daqiang', 'Tie Erqiang', and 'Tie Shaqiang'.

After receiving the order, these three little powerhouses were assigned tasks: one was responsible for excavating in the front, one was responsible for installing [Torches] along the way, and the last one was responsible for laying iron rails, digging day and night towards the Irrawaddy River tributary in Myanmar, the Wulu River.

After a period of excavation, this route directly to the jadeite mining area in Myanmar was nearing completion.

According to the feedback from the iron golems at the front line, the 2500-kilometer single-track high-speed line has completed more than 90%, and it will take only about a week to excavate to the main producing area of the jadeite mine.

He just didn't expect that he hadn't even dug into the high-quality mining area controlled by those warlords yet, and the traces of [Nephrite Ore] had already been discovered along the way, which really exceeded Chen Jue's expectations.

According to Chen Jue's estimation, the [Nephrite Ore] that Tie Daqiang and the others dug up should be from secondary deposits.

It is important to know that jade mines, especially jadeite deposits, are usually divided into primary deposits and secondary deposits, which are called 'new pits' and 'old pits' respectively in the jadeite rough stone industry to distinguish them.

As for the [Nephrite Ore] in Chen Jue's hand, which is only of bean-quality, it is most likely dug out from the primary deposit.

Because it is large enough to be knocked down with a [Iron Pickaxe].

It looks small in the hand, but when placed on the ground with a "dong~" sound, it reaches the standard specification of 1 cubic meter.

Generally, only primary deposits with sufficiently long ore belts can produce large block volumes, with a single jadeite rough stone reaching hundreds of kilograms or even several tons.

Secondary deposits, also known as 'old pits', are semi-slope sedimentary deposits or riverbed sedimentary deposits. The jade has encountered geological changes such as mudslides and earthquakes during its formation, and most of the products are small seed materials.

As for judging the quality of jadeite, it depends on its color and the degree of transparency inside to identify and judge.

So Chen Jue threw this [Nephrite Ore] to the iron golem in the magic cube factory who had changed into the [Mechanical Engineer] skin, and asked them to use the brand-new five-axis CNC waterjet purchased from Shenji to precisely cut this MC-ized nephrite ore.

In Chen Jue's eyes, how can those so-called masters who play with gambling stones and jade processing be better than professional mechanical engineers at cutting and polishing!

With a processing accuracy of 10 microns, combined with a professional high-definition CNC camera for magnification and adjustment, after it is put on the machine tool, the weathered rock outside the nephrite ore is slowly cut away little by little with a computer-controlled high-speed waterjet stream.

When the green and white jade material inside was exposed, as well as the tofu residue-like texture, a look of regret appeared on Chen Jue's face.

Taking the jade material and looking at it, a line of subtitles appeared: [Bean Jadeite: Nephrite, a kind of jadeite with lower quality, has certain economic value.]

"What a pity! It's not icy imperial green, otherwise such a large piece would be enough to trade a lot of things with [Profiteer] and [Breeding Expert]."

Chen Jue shook his head and sighed, playing with the jadeite ball that had been polished by the machine to look a bit like an enlarged lychee pulp.

It is important to know that the jadeite water species that ordinary people often hear about are generally divided into 4 levels in the market, namely bean species, glutinous rice species, ice species, and glass species.

There are also 8 levels of water species, or even 12 levels of identification, that are divided more finely on the basis of these 4 levels, relying on marketing to sell jadeite at a better price.

Each level of improvement represents a higher degree of cleanliness in the jadeite, and fewer cotton patterns and impurities, and the corresponding price will also rise.

The imperial green jadeite that is defaulted by the MC system to replace [Emerald] must reach the top-level glass species.

Like this kind of bean jadeite, besides being used by Chen Jue to sell for cash, the only thing left is to put it in various companies as decorations and collectibles.

So Chen Jue stared at this large bean jadeite and observed it for a long time, but he couldn't see any of the 'jade nourishes people' tricks that jade merchants touted. Chen Jue took out his mobile phone to take a photo of it and recorded a video by the way.

Then, after thinking about it, he directly sent it to Boss Shi of Xinlong Jewelry, asking this professional to estimate a price.

Who would have thought that as soon as the message was sent, Shi Xinlong, who had done business with Chen Jue once, immediately popped up a "!!!" reply, followed by a video call: "President Chen! You are indeed an expert in jade! When you bought my imperial green sign of nothingness before, I was almost kept in the dark by you!"

"Where did you get such a large piece of ornament material? I haven't seen such a good ornament material at the jadeite public market for several years."

Boss Shi kept sighing in the video, and asked Chen Jue to point the camera a little closer so that he could see it more clearly.

"Isn't this a bean species?"

"The worst grade, can it also be valuable?" Chen Jue asked curiously.

As a complete layman, at this time, if a professional comes forward to appraise, he must ask more questions.

Shi Xinlong stared and carefully looked at it: "Nonsense! If it is a small piece of bean jadeite, it will cost at most a few hundred yuan apiece. But your goods are different! This is an ornament material for suppressing houses and changing feng shui. It looks like it is almost at the glutinous rice level. The larger the whole piece, the more valuable it is! The price is calculated by the catty, and it may sell for several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan per catty! Move the camera a little, let me see the green side."

The more Shi Xinlong said, the more his eyes glowed, and he showed considerable love for this jadeite ball.

After looking around, the other party even proposed to come to the door to take a look.

Because the treasure of his Xinlong Jewelry store, which he runs, had just been bought by Chen Jue and given to Old Shang.

Now the store is short of a feng shui ornament to suppress the feng shui and wealth of the jewelry store.

Those who do business, especially the bosses involved in gold and silver jewelry, are very superstitious.

When Chen Jue heard that the bean jadeite that he didn't like could actually be favored by Shi Xinlong, an industry insider, he became interested.

He sent a location of the magic cube factory to let the other party come and see for himself.

Early the next morning, a Mercedes-Maybach with a Wenc license plate ending in three 8s drove into the park gate of the magic cube factory. Shi Xinlong, who got out of the car, and a jade carving master he knew, were all shocked by this square super factory!

That kind of super building that combines industrial aesthetics is as shocking as a Gundam standing on the earth.

"Hiss~"

"Boss Shi... Boss Shi, how much does it cost to build this factory? It's too big!" Master Li, the jade carving master, looked up at the towering factory top that reached the rain clouds.

The standard size height of 200 meters made him feel exceptionally small standing at the foot of this factory.

"It will cost more than a dozen billion anyway! I seemed to have seen it on Douyin before. I didn't expect it to be the factory of the young President Chen of Chenji!" Shi Xinlong's expression was uncertain. After getting out of the car, he hurriedly put out the cigarette in his hand, and while sighing, he straightened his clothes.

When Chen Jue came out to greet them from a small door in the corner of the factory, leading the two to take the externally opened elevator to his exclusive office on the top floor of the factory.

Boss Shi, who could barely remain calm, was immediately shocked by the furniture in this president's office!

"This... President Chen, are these furniture all made of Phoebe zhennan wood?"

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~

Spending the holidays with my family, it's a little later.
