Go back to 1990 to start a business

the next morning.

The team of [-] people had breakfast and returned to work. No one asked where the ten miners had gone.

Xia Chuan brought back another batch of construction machinery, the excavators were in place, and he also bought two trucks.

With the roar of bulldozers and excavators, and the coming and going of forklifts and mining trucks, a large number of people gathered here again.

People kept asking if they needed help.

The old man saw that the number of people exceeded 100, and selected [-] people again. Twenty women and children were sent to various departments that were short of manpower, and the rest formed a mine protection team.Because as long as someone mines a mine, it will inevitably attract illegal mining, and at the same time, the safety of the management team must be protected.

So these guys are armed with club weapons.

The construction progress accelerated dramatically. The power of machinery was beyond the power of manpower, and the road was finally completed.

On the third day.

The old man finally selected a hundred miners to serve as the foremen of all miners in the future, and then ignored them.

Xia Chuan gave all the jadeite he had snatched to Ziqiu, and finally said:

"We still have two months to generate profits. These jadeite are used as working capital. We can buy whatever we need, such as guns. If we run out of money, we sell one piece. We are not allowed to sell any of the ore we dig out. We must monopolize Colorful Jade’s management.”

Ziqiu expressed his understanding and finally hugged Xia Chuan and kissed him:

"Don't worry, I will always listen to you and do whatever you ask me to do."

Yuan Xiang was reluctant to leave. She knew this place was the best place to practice, but she still wanted to go back and form a group.

Xia Chuan's old Taoist Yuan Xiang left with four bodyguards.

They didn't drive the jeep, leaving Ziqiu alone.

Instead, a double-cab truck was driven away.

As the old man drove the car, he asked, "Why do I feel something is wrong with Ziqiu?"

Yuan Xiang, who was in the back seat, didn't understand. He chuckled and Zi Qiu kissed Xia Chuan in public. Didn't the old man realize that there was something going on between Zi Qiu and Xia Chuan?

Xia Chuan understood what Lao Dao was referring to, which was that Zi Qiu did not have that kind of separate attachment. He said calmly: "Didn't you say let nature take its course? She has no distracting thoughts anymore."

The old man nodded and didn't think about it.

Yuan Xiang was startled. Did Ziqiu really let go after experiencing it?

She was at a loss, feeling that she could never let go of the old way in her life. She could let go of anything she had experienced. It was all nonsense. There really was a man who could pierce her soul. That would be a lifelong slave. She practiced for him, just to be by his side. .

After a while, she stopped thinking about it and let nature take its course. She asked, "Where are we going now?"

"To buy gifts, of course."

……

Hpakant City, jade raw stone trading market.

The truck stopped on the roadside, leaving a bodyguard to guard it, and then everyone walked into the market.

As far as you can see, pieces of rough stones are placed on the ground. Some have windows open, revealing a small patch of green, and some are pure rough stones. Crowds of people gather in front of the rough stones they like, shining them with flashlights. Research and analysis.

The jewelry industry calls this place a gambling shop, and the jadeite trading is called gambling stone. Success depends on luck, just like gambling or lottery.

Gambling on stones, of course, involves gambling on raw jade, which is unpeeled jade.

Yes, jade is a type of jade.

To be able to see the quality of jade through its outer skin requires profound jade knowledge.

In today's technologically advanced world, there is no instrument that can detect what is inside a stone.

Although there are rough stones that can be seen through the window, the risk is not small.

If the seller is sure that there is a lot of green inside, why not open a big window and sell it at a good price?

A layer of green is common.

Xia Chuan walked very slowly, giving the old man enough time to judge.

Yuan Xiang enthusiastically held the flashlight and shone it one by one, and suddenly asked: "Why do some people open windows and shine a flashlight on them? The inside is lovely green, but the windows are not polished?"

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "Do you dare not polish it? There are probably too many cracks in it, the water is not good, the green is black inside, and the green is incorrect. Once such jade is polished, all the shortcomings will be exposed."

"What's going on with those polished jadeite stones?"

"The owner was looking for green, but couldn't find it. But it can still be sold as rough stone, after all, it is not cut. There are only some traces of grinding, digging, and rubbing left, which can no longer be covered up. This is still exquisite, more It is cleverly disguised with 'sand' and 'glue', and it looks like it has not been touched. It is common for stone gamblers to be fooled. Even if they have rich experience, it still depends on luck, and it is difficult for gods to judge. Jade can make you rich or poor; a stone can make you rich, or it can make you bankrupt overnight."

While the two were talking, they passed by a stall that sold finished jade ornaments.

She asked in surprise: "This jadeite has fine water and bright color. Is this the best jadeite?"

Xia Chuan looked at the stall owner, but he didn't deny it. He laughed softly:

"This is Malay jade. Malay jade is artificial, which is dyed quartzite. It is made by melting quartzite and dyeing it. If you look carefully, the color of Malay jade is unnatural - it is too evenly distributed, with no change or transition at all. It feels like Like floating on the surface;

The color of jadeite appears to be more natural and spiritual, and the distribution and transition of colors are very natural.If you look at it with a magnifying glass, the inside of Malay jade has a granular structure, and the green color is distributed along the edges of the granules. This is the trace of dyeing.

If you weigh it with your hands, you will see that the density of jadeite is much greater than that of Malay jade, and it will have an obvious falling feeling in the hand, while Malay jade clearly feels much lighter than jadeite.

Moreover, the toughness of Malay jade is relatively poor, so it is mostly made into bracelets, beads or plain pendants, and there are few complicated carvings, because its material determines that it cannot carve high reliefs and round carvings.

In addition, there is no need to look at the certificate, it must be fake. "

Yuan Xiang looked astonished, but the stall owner's expression darkened. It was quite normal to meet an expert when setting up a stall in this place.

But it is still rare to encounter Xia Chuan who is so insincere and expose him in detail directly in front of him.

Xia Chuan smiled at the stall owner and said, "She hasn't seen it before. You happen to have a sample here, so I'll tell you about it. Don't think too much about it."

Then he picked up a piece of white jade and said: "This is Shuimozi. This kind of jade is mostly pure white or transparent in color, with relatively high transparency. Some of them have floating flowers inside. They look very similar to ice jade, so It is also often used to pass off as ice jade."

The stall owner's face has turned dark. You can just talk. What do you want to talk about?

Xia Chuan changed another piece and said: "The texture of this Hetian Jasper is fine, and the density is close to that of jade. You can hardly feel the difference when you weigh it. Moreover, its color is dark, a bit like the oily green species in jade, which is often used. Come pretend to be Youqing jadeite.

This is chalcedony, which is also a kind of quartzite. It looks very delicate and beautiful in appearance. The green chalcedony has a transparent texture and bright color. The white chalcedony is very similar to ice jade and is often used as a fake jadeite. "

The stall owner finally couldn't bear it anymore and said sternly: "If you don't buy it, get out!"
