Chapter 326 Glass Species
There was an old man and a young man, one taught patiently and the other listened carefully. Unknowingly, the time had already reached ten o'clock in the evening.
In about an hour, Yang Chen learned a lot about jade from Master Tang.
Seeing the old man's unfinished expression, Yang Chen couldn't help but think of his two apprentices whom he had never met.
I don’t know if Master Tang has always been chatty, or because the absence of his two disciples these past few days has made him lose the joy of preaching.
Taking a sip of tea, Yang Chen looked at the jadeite stone placed on the counter again.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Master Tang, how about selling me your rough stone?"
"Uh," Master Tang was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Young man, are you interested in gambling on stones?"
You must know that he had already explained the rough stone clearly just now, but he never thought that Yang Chen was still interested in it, which made him not know what to say.
Yang Chen shook his head and said: "I'm not interested in betting on stones. It's just that I met you and I feel destined. It doesn't matter whether I make a profit or a loss."
"If Master Tang is willing to sell it, I can buy it at the original price."
Hearing that Yang Chen planned to buy it at the original price, Master Tang had nothing to say. He glanced at the rough stone on the counter, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "If you like it, little friend, I can sell it to you at half price."
He studied this rough stone for several days, but still couldn't figure it out. As a businessman, he would not go all the way like a gambler.
Since you can't see clearly, then try to reduce your losses as much as possible. This is a successful businessman.
Over the years, as he got older, Master Tang's interest in stone gambling became less and less, and he spent more time on carving.
In the end, Yang Chen did not buy the rough stone at half price, but purchased it at the original price.
Yang Chen really didn't take this small amount of money seriously. He bought this stone just to satisfy his interest and curiosity.
Seeing that Yang Chen was so generous, Master Tang was so happy that he decided to cut the stone for him himself.
Nowadays, Master Tang rarely does stone dissection by himself. Under normal circumstances, two apprentices do it, and he occasionally provides guidance.
In front of a cutting machine, Master Tang took the rough stone that Yang Chen had bought, placed it on the base, and reached out to start the cutting machine.
The shiny blade started to rotate with a 'swish' sound.
While he was cutting, Yang Chen, Laura, and Wu Yaoxin couldn't help but come over and watch.
One knife after another, several knives, as always, nothing but stones are still stones.
Master Tang kept moving his hands until he cut the rough stone into the size of a bowl, then Master Tang stopped.
"Green?" Wu Yaoxin wiped his eyes.
Reaching out to turn off the cutting machine, Master Tang wiped the cut side with his hand. When he saw that the middle of the rough stone was completely green, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Yang Chen brought his head closer and looked at the green patch in the middle of the original stone. It was clear and translucent, with no impurities visible at all. He blinked and said, "Is this a glass species?"
Master Tang removed the original stone from the light and gave Yang Chen a complicated look.
To be honest, he now regrets saying so much to Yang Chen just now.
If he hadn't told the other party so much, he could still be shameless and give it a try to see if he could redeem the original stone.
Now, he really couldn't bring himself to say this, and he regretted why he had stopped his two apprentices from unraveling the stone in the first place.
If he hadn't stopped it, the original stone would not have fallen into Yang Chen's hands now.
With this strike of his, the value of this rough stone increased tenfold. Yang Chen had just spent fifty thousand dollars to buy this rough stone, and it had increased tenfold in the blink of an eye.
Is there anything more profitable than this?
Without saying anything else, Master Tang didn't even ask Yang Chen if he wanted to cut the stone. He directly restarted the cutting machine and prepared to completely cut out the rough stone.
This time, Master Tang was more careful when cutting, cutting slowly and little by little.
Soon, the bowl-shaped rough stone was slowly cut into fist-sized pieces, and the green color on the rough stone became more and more.
Turning off the cutting machine again, Master Tang looked at Yang Chen calmly after careful inspection, "Glass species cannot escape."
"Press?" Yang Chen glanced at Master Tang doubtfully, a little confused as to what the other party meant by this.
"See for yourself." Master Tang handed Yang Chen the flashlight and jade in his hand, and then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
Master Tang's mood is very complicated now. He doesn't know how to describe his current mood specifically.
The first time I touched the rough stone, I found the best jadeite of glass type.
No, that's not right, it should be the dragon species.
He had never seen that kind of "dragon species" that only existed in legends.
Glass species like a chameleon can produce different colors at different angles, making it full of charm and vitality.
It was precisely because he suspected that there was a piece of dragon hidden deep in the glass that Master Tang changed from regret at the beginning to indifference.
Master Tang kept comforting himself and kept saying to himself, 'It's none of his business, it's just the other party's good luck.'
He had never thought about unlocking this rough stone. Even if Yang Chen didn't buy it, he would sell it to others.
What's more, he didn't lose money, and the other party bought it at the original price? He didn't lose money, not even a penny.
'I have no loss...'
‘I have no loss’
'It's just that the other party was lucky...'
'But, why does Mao's heart hurt? His liver hurts? His stomach hurts too?'
In just one minute, Master Tang smoked three cigarettes in a row before he suppressed the urge to bleed from the top of his head.
Fortunately, he takes good care of himself and does not have high blood pressure. Otherwise, he might be lying on the ground now.
On the other side, Yang Chen held a flashlight and shined it on the jade in his hand. He saw that the jade had plenty of moisture inside and almost no impurities.
It is clear and translucent, and the particles are so small that they cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye. It is exactly the same as the glass type that Master Tang introduced to him just now.
However, what puzzled him was why there was a strange mass inside, which was sometimes black, sometimes red, and sometimes green, and changed colors at different angles.
‘What’s going on?’ Yang Chen was puzzled by this.
He turned to look at Master Tang who was continuing to take cigarettes from the cigarette case. He wanted to ask, but when he saw that the other person was so distressed that he was about to bleed, he couldn't bear to continue to hit him.
Turning off the flashlight and placing it next to Master Tang, Yang Chen said softly: "Mr. Tang, let's go first."
As if he didn't hear anything, Master Tang just smoked and didn't react at all.
Seeing this, Yang Chen shook his head, took the glass jade in his hand, and left the jade shop with Laura.
It is not difficult to see from Master Tang's appearance that he has definitely made a lot of money this time. Since he can't get the answer here, there will be many people to ask when he returns to Xiangjiang.
