Looking at the crowd, Zhao Xiaoning at this time was looking at himself meaningfully, although he didn't say anything, but his eyes said everything.

Li Xueer was very angry, but angry was angry, she knew that she was in huge trouble, if she couldn't handle it properly, she would definitely lose a huge amount of money, and the ultimate price was that she couldn't complete the assessment task given by the family, so she obediently went back to work.

As her first woman, Zhao Xiaoning didn't want to be a dewy couple with Li Xueer, and it was like this that she secretly used her mobile phone to call her own after falling asleep that night, thinking that she would have nothing to do in the future, but she didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

"Little brother, you can make a price, let's discuss the price. "Someone fell in love with this jadeite, which has two colors, and wanted to pay a high price for it.

Zhao Xiaoning said: "I'm sorry, I don't plan to sell this piece of material." ”

Although this piece of material cannot be used to arrange the Spirit Gathering Array, Zhao Xiaoning knows the truth that things are vaguely expensive, just a piece of unprocessed jadeite can make people pay more than 10 million yuan, and if they are carefully carved, the price will definitely rise. When the time comes, it will not be as simple as 10 million.

Of course, this kind of thing can increase in value even if you collect it yourself.

Hearing Zhao Xiaoning's words, many people showed regret, although they like this piece of material, but there is no way if people don't sell it.

"Old Liu, can we process jadeite? I want to make something out of this piece of old pit ice seed material. Zhao Xiaoning asked.

He originally wanted to make a bracelet for Lin Feifei, but he had to give up because the material was too small.

"What do you want to do?" asked Liu Lao.

Zhao Xiaoning thought for a while: "Two Maitreya Buddha pendants and two women's rings should be okay, right?"

Liu Lao looked at the piece of material for a long time and said, "You can also make a wrench." ”

Zhao Xiaoning's eyes lit up, is the kind of wrench worn by the nobles of the ancient palace? This is definitely a sharp weapon. immediately asked: "According to what Liu Lao said, I don't know when it will be done?"

Liu Lao said: "It depends on what processing method you choose, the mechanic can take half an hour, but if you find a famous hand carving, it will take at least two days." Of course, there is a world of difference between the price of machine carving and hand carving, and 300 yuan can be taken down if it is machine carving. The price of hand carving will be much higher, especially the two Maitreya Buddha pendants, which will cost at least 200,000. ”

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoning had an urge to vomit blood, 200,000, this price is too outrageous.

Liu Lao smiled and said: "Young man, 200,000 yuan is just the starting price, even if others offer 2 million, it depends on that person's mood." ”

"Old Liu, you should be talking about Master Xie, right?" someone interjected and asked.

"Is Master Xie famous?" someone asked, puzzled.

Hearing this, some insiders couldn't help but show disdain, even Master Xie didn't know that you had entered the jade realm, you were really sitting in a well and watching the sky. So someone popularized Master Xie.

Master Xie's original name was Xie Zhenlong, who was the third generation of the Xie family and a well-known jade carving master in China.

As we all know, the best in domestic carving is Su Gong. Su Gong refers to the master carvers in the Jiangnan area, who have been carving for generations, first using plaster, resin, and clay, and then evolving into wood, stone, metal, jade, and agate.

Over time, a unique style and carving process have been formed, which are recognized throughout the country. Some masters carve even a piece out of granite for a sky-high price.

Among the top ten carving masters in China, nine are from the Jiangnan area, and the other is Xie Zhenlong. The carving style of the Xie family is mainly freehand, which can be said to be unique in the carving world.

Because of his personality, Xie Zhenlong rarely undertakes the task of carving, which also makes him gradually fade out of people's sight, but it is undeniable that his works are still popular with many people.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoning's heart was itching, yes, although the material of ice jade is not the best, it is also a high-grade jadeite, as the so-called good horse with a good saddle, it must be carved by a master.

When he heard about 200,000 Zhao Xiaoning before, he felt that the price was very high, but after learning the identity of Master Xie, he felt that 200,000 was pitiful.

Zhao Xiaoning is playing jade for the first time, but he has heard his father talk about some things in the industry before, and he can get the works of such masters, which is in itself an ancestral virtue.

Engraving is different from calligraphy and painting, and it is important to know that some calligraphers and painters' calligraphy and painting will only appreciate in value after death. Engraving is different, as soon as the carved work is born, the tide rises, and once the so-called master dies, the price will definitely soar. Especially in today's era of national collection, many people regard it as a sure-fire investment.

"It just so happens that the old man is tired today, so I'll take you to meet my old friend. Liu Lao washed his hands, he had already reached the age of retirement, but because he loved cutting stones, he sometimes helped here.

Hearing this, everyone showed envious eyes, especially some people in Tengchong who knew Master Xie's fame well, and also knew that he was withdrawn and had few friends, but he had a good relationship with Liu Lao, and Master Xie would definitely use the knife if he was the guide.

Zhao Xiaoning was overjoyed: "Then it will trouble Liu Lao." ”

Liu Lao glanced at Lin Feifei and said, "My old man has a withdrawn personality, so this girl doesn't have to go over." ”

Lin Feifei smiled and said, "Xiao Ning, you and Liu Lao go over, and I'll go find Mr. Meng and Lu Yao." ”

Zhao Xiaoning hummed, and then followed Liu Lao out of the public venue with two pieces of jade, because the road was not far, the two chose to walk.

Liu Lao spoke: "Xiao Ning, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not?"

"It's about gambling stones, right?" Zhao Xiaoning asked rhetorically.

Liu Lao nodded: "I have lived in Tengchong since I was a child, and I have seen too many tragedies of bankruptcy, and I have also seen some people who became rich overnight. But I have never seen someone like you, you broke the proverb that the gods are hard to decide. ”

Zhao Xiaoning said with a smile: "Did I say it was a coincidence, did you believe it? Although it was the first time for me to gamble on stones, I also knew some news, because of the special environment formed by jadeite, no kind of instrument could distinguish the situation inside. What technology can't do, how can I, as a mortal, do it? It's all a coincidence. ”

Liu Lao didn't speak, Zhao Xiaoning's words sounded very reasonable, but he felt that Zhao Xiaoning was lying. Although he didn't say much, all he had to do was establish a good impression with Zhao Xiaoning, and it was in this way that he would introduce him to his old friend.

Entering an alley, a slightly dilapidated two-story house appeared in Zhao Xiaoning's eyes.

Seeing that the door was closed, Zhao Xiaoning couldn't help but ask, "Old Liu, isn't Master Xie at home?"

Liu Lao smiled and said: "This old man doesn't know what's going on lately, and often locks himself up at home." ”

After clearing his throat, Liu Lao spoke: "Lao Xie, open the door to pick up guests." ”
