The stolen magic is a bit magical

Chapter 205 Three Strange Stones

Zhou Ling and her sister Zhou Qin reached a consensus.

In fact, they were not the only two who reached a consensus.

Several uncles and aunts in Xueyuxuan also have the talent of breaking jade.

He is extremely concerned about the jewelry expo to be held in Guangzhou next spring, and is determined to impress the whole audience with an extraordinary treasure, making Xueyuxuan famous both at home and abroad.

Therefore, they took out three precious jade stones that they had collected for many years, ambitiously setting out to create a treasure that would cause a sensation in the jewelry industry.

Jade is naturally formed.

Treasures are hard to come by.

To turn a piece of good material into a flawless work of art, every step must be taken seriously; the slightest mistake will result in irreparable damage.

If it was just an ordinary business, the Zhou family would not care about losing hundreds of millions, but when it comes to exposure at the expo, Xueyuxuan must take it seriously, because it involves Xueyuxuan's reputation and its background, and directly affects Xueyuxuan's position in the jewelry industry.

Therefore, Mr. Zhou went to Fengcheng to ask Lin Xiaosu for his opinion.

However, it does not mean that everyone around him agrees.

At least Zhou Ling and Zhou Qin disagreed.

Mr. Zhou shook his head slightly. "It is precisely because the Expo is so important that we must be rigorous. Before he comes back, these three pieces of material must not be broken or opened, and no damage must be done to them."

Zhou Ling sighed: "Grandpa, you... you know what? People who are so stubborn that they don't even realize they are stubborn are really... old!"

Mr. Zhou raised his white eyebrows suddenly...

He picked up the crutch at hand.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside: "Grandpa, there is a man named Lin Xiaosu outside the door, saying that the old man asked him to come over."

Grandpa Zhou turned the cane in his hand and stopped beating his outspoken grandson. Instead, he leaned on the ground and stood up: "Quick, let him in!"

When Lin Xiaosu walked in, Mr. Zhou greeted her at the door.

Zhou Ling and Zhou Qin were still in the small pavilion, both of them looked disdainful...

"Boss Zhou traveled thousands of miles to Fengcheng, but I happened to be away. I'm sorry!" Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly: "So I came here specially."

"Mr. Lin is such a sincere person, thank you so much!" Boss Zhou stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lin Xiaosu: "Come, sit here."

After entering the pavilion, he introduced Lin Xiaosu to Zhou Ling and Zhou Qin. Lin Xiaosu extended his hand to shake hands with the two of them. Although the two of them also shook hands with him politely, their expressions were quite cold.

Lin Xiaosu didn't care and took the tea handed to her by a maid: "Bring the material that Boss Zhou wants to see."

Boss Zhou signaled with his eyes.

Zhou Ling stood up, walked through the corridor outside, entered a room, and soon came back with two people.

Zhou Ling was holding a wooden box by herself.

The two people behind him were carrying a large stone wrapped in red silk cloth.

I only brought two pieces.

One piece looks small, and one is ridiculously large.

Zhou Ling walked up to Lin Xiaosu and opened the wooden box in his hand. Inside was a stone weighing about four or five kilograms.

The stone has green skin, fine sand and is very oily. The only flaw is that there is a crack on it.

When Lin Xiaosu picked up the stone and looked at it, the other two had already put down the large piece of material weighing forty or fifty kilograms.

Zhou Ling squinted her eyes and said, "Mr. Lin, can you tell where this material comes from?"

"Dongjiang mine, middle-level old material, very good material!" said Lin Xiaosu.

Zhou Ling nodded gently: "Mr. Lin has a pretty good eye. Many people will think this material is from the Southern Qi Dynasty at first glance... Mr. Lin, why don't you take another look at where the most essential part of this material is."

Zhou Qin seemed indifferent, but her attitude had changed slightly.

Although it was just a question of occasion, this was a long-standing debate in Xueyuxuan.

Some people say it is from the Southern Qi Dynasty because its skin is very consistent with the characteristics of the Southern Qi field, but my brother Zhou Ling insisted that it was from Dongjiang. In the end, it was verified from many aspects that it was indeed from Dongjiang.

This is Zhou Ling’s proudest move in Xueyuxuan.

And Lin Xiaosu, who they call a layman in jade, is actually not an amateur after just one judgment.

So what about the second question?

What is the essence of this material?

This shouldn't be difficult for him, right?

Because the most essential part of this material, which is undisputed in Xueyuxuan, is the color under the iron moss.

There is a high probability that it is imperial green.

Imperial green, the king of jade.

As long as it is the true imperial green, the value of a ring face may be in the tens of millions.

However, Lin Xiaosu's finger fell on a protrusion on the left side of the crack: "Here! And here..." His finger went down along the protrusion, drawing an arc, across the crack.

As soon as these words came out, Boss Zhou's eyes suddenly widened.

Zhou Ling and Zhou Qin frowned at the same time.

This piece of jadeite raw stone has cracks.

Cracks are the biggest flaw for high-grade raw stones, so the plan they agreed on was to cut along the crack. No matter what was inside, the most valuable part would not be damaged.

However, Lin Xiaosu said that the most valuable part of the stone was where they planned to saw it.

This was abandoned in their original plan.

Zhou Ling raised her hand and pointed at the bag of iron moss: "Mr. Lin... don't you think this is the most valuable part?"

This is questioning face to face.

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly: "Although the quality of the jadeite here is not bad, it is not as good as the imperial green, and it is only a thin layer, which is not enough to make a ring face. If Mr. Zhou regards this as the most valuable part and takes this part as the main material when taking materials, I am afraid that it is really in line with the old saying, giving up pearls and jade to take rubble."

This can be considered a direct counterattack. Zhou Ling said: "Even if there is no Imperial Green in this, it is at least Ice Sun Green! Do you recognize it, Mr. Lin?"

"recognize!"

Zhou Ling said: "If Bingyang Green is not a value point, then Mr. Lin, what is the value point of the line that just crossed the crack and completely violated the basic common sense of jade?"

Lin Xiaosu smiled gently: "Bring me a pen!"

Zhou Qin opened the small bag, stretched out her hand, and handed over a lipstick: "Use this to draw!"

Lin Xiaosu stared at the lipstick and was a little confused. If I remembered correctly, the value of this lipstick should be in the tens of thousands...

Who cares!

Lin Xiaosu gently spun and used lipstick to draw the line he had just drawn on the stone. And it was not just a line. After a few strokes, it looked like a dragon.

The dragon's head was at the place he pointed the first time, the dragon's body passed through the crack, and the dragon's tail was at the place where the moss was...

Everyone looked at each other...

"What does this look like to you all?"

"One-stop service!" said Boss Zhou.

"Yes, there is a yellow jade belt inside, like a dragon, and this crack is like a valley, with a yellow dragon coming out of the valley and a green lake at its tail. If this scene is presented, this rough stone will become a work of art that is ingeniously crafted."

The yellow dragon emerges from the valley!

Boss Zhou's eyes lit up...

This is not just a broken jade, it is also a brilliant idea...

If it is really as he described, it would be amazing just to think about it...

"Mr. Lin, is this really as you described?"

"Yes!"

“Is there any way to present it a little bit so that the designer can compose it accurately?”

"Yes, that's opening the window, but the location of the window is critical. I'll draw a few points for you. If you open these points, you can roughly see the scene."

He drew a few dots.

Boss Zhou stood up and said, "Mr. Lin, let's go have dinner first!"

They went to dinner without Zhou Ling and Zhou Qin accompanying them, and they went to open the window.

Opening a window is a commonly used technique when working with jadeite.

In order not to destroy the integrity of the jade, open a window first to look inside. For jade that is intended to be made into bracelets or pendants, opening a window will not have much impact and it can be opened casually. However, for jade that is intended to be made into treasure-level works of art, opening a window is also part of the careful design.

It cannot be opened casually.

For example, to conceive a picture of an ancient temple in the mountains, it is necessary to preserve some of the original stone skin. This requires retaining the original stone skin in the design. If some careless person chisels it away without thinking, the artistic conception of the whole picture will be gone.

This is the real reason why the people at Xueyuxuan dare not open the window when faced with this high-end jadeite.

Now, it's time to open.

The jadeite inside was revealed as the paper opened at the points pointed out by Lin Xiaosu. Zhou Ling saw a yellow area under the lipstick mark and his eyes widened.

Yellow jade is rare in itself.

At least, before this stone was opened, no one could see that there was yellow jade inside.

And he saw it accurately.

The position, shape, and precision are unparalleled!

In an instant, his heart was shaken...

"Could it be that he can really see it?" Zhou Qin, who was standing next to him, was also full of disbelief.

"How is this possible? This... this is luck!" Zhou Ling was full of dissatisfaction.

After dinner, Lin Xiaosu and Boss Zhou returned to the pavilion and placed the stone that opened the window in front of Boss Zhou.

Boss Zhou observed carefully with a flashlight, his face full of excitement: "I am really impressed by Mr. Lin's insight. I will hand it over to the designer to design the Yellow Dragon Leaving the Valley according to Mr. Lin's design ideas."

Lin Xiaosu smiled and said, "We have seen the first piece of jade, let's take a look at the second one."

The second piece was already in front of them.

It is the piece of jade wrapped in red silk weighing forty or fifty kilograms.

This piece of jade had already caused a sensation in the border town when it was brought into Xueyuxuan.

There are three main reasons.

One is that the crust performance is unmatched.

The second is that the acquisition price set a record.

Third, people inside and outside the industry are unanimously optimistic.

The red silk was untied and another big light in the pavilion was turned on, making the pavilion as bright as day. The light was almost indistinguishable from the natural light during the day, and it was also the lighting environment that Xueyuxuan had invested heavily in.

Specially used for viewing stones at night.

Lin Xiaosu placed his fingers on the large stone with a red and purple tint, and his expression looked a little strange.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of this stone?"

Lin Xiaosu exhaled softly: "The quality of the stone itself is impeccable, but..."

However, Boss Zhou's heart, which had not been beating violently for a long time, suddenly started beating wildly: "Mr. Lin, please speak frankly..."

Zhou Ling and Zhou Qin's hearts also beat wildly. Could it be that there was something wrong with the most valued treasure of Xueyuxuan?

Lin Xiaosu said: "Super spider web crack!"
