The Way of Heaven Rewards Diligence in Film and Television

Chapter 76 Processing, Imperial Green?

Upon hearing that a jadeite worth over a million yuan had been unearthed, the onlookers became excited.

Under normal circumstances, if you buy rough stones for several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, it's considered good if you can find jade or even break even.

If you can find jade worth tens of thousands or even two or three hundred thousand, it's already considered a price increase. If you find jade worth hundreds of thousands or millions, it's definitely a huge price increase.

As for finding jadeite worth tens or even hundreds of millions of yuan, such as imperial green or glass-type jadeite, the chances in reality are too small; it only exists in novels or movies.

"Worth a million?" Lin Yang remained relatively calm. A million was nothing to him; it wouldn't be difficult to earn that much by investing more money in the stock market.

However, this jadeite with floating ice flowers looks really beautiful!

"Boss, can you process jadeite directly here?" Lin Yang couldn't help but ask Afa.

Upon hearing this, Ah Fa subconsciously looked at Fatty Yao, who couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe... I specialize in jade processing, and I'm a nationally certified senior jade carver!"

"If you trust me, bring the materials to me later, and I'll personally process them for you," Fatty Yao said with a smile.

"Hey young man, you have quite a lot of material here. How about you consider selling some?" a thin, middle-aged man wearing glasses said.

"Hey, Lao Li, what's it to you? You think I can't finish this little bit of meat if I'm willing to give it to you all by myself?" Fatty Yao said with a smirk, "Don't even mention this little bit, I could eat even more and better meat."

"Brother, my jade processing workshop isn't far from here. Why don't you come with me later? If you want the finished product quickly, I'll work overtime to get it out for you as soon as possible, how about that?" Fatty Yao turned to Lin Yang and smiled.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Brother Yao," Lin Yang said, then turned to Ah Fa and said, "Boss, could you also help me cut up the remaining pieces of raw jade?"

"The remaining pieces..." Fatty Yao urged Ah Fa with a hint of helplessness, "Alright, hurry up and untie them!"

"I can cut it, but I only have one stone-cutting machine here. A few people just bought rough stones, so I have to let them cut them first," Ah Fa said with a smile.

"You... why didn't you get another stone-cutting machine? What if this one suddenly breaks down?" Fatty Yao said, then quickly added, "Brother, why don't you just come to my place to have it cut!"

"Alright," Lin Yang nodded thoughtfully. He would have to visit Fatty Yao's jade processing workshop anyway, otherwise he wouldn't feel comfortable letting him process jadeite worth millions.

So, Ah Fa had someone bring a bag, and Lin Yang put the cut material and a few small pieces of uncut rough material into it. Then he followed Fatty Yao to a black Mercedes-Benz parked outside Jade Street.

Yao Pangzi's jade processing workshop is not far from the ancient city, and it is only a few dozen miles away from Yunmiao Village.

The place wasn't very big, but there were quite a few people. More than a dozen jade carving masters and apprentices were busy at work, and it looked quite professional.

After inviting Lin Yang to drink tea and discussing the processing with him, Fatty Yao instructed his jade carving masters to go down and cut the jade pieces to make the bracelets.

The processing of bangles is relatively easy. After the bangles are made, the remaining material is used to process pendants, ring faces, and beads.

The craftsman was very efficient; he brought over a pair of bracelets in no time.

"Brother Lin, come and see what I think. The quality of this material is even better than I expected for the bracelet," Fatty Yao said with a smile.

Lin Yang picked one up and examined it. The polished bracelet was indeed crystal clear, and the floating patterns were even more lively and beautiful.

"Great! This is much better than the bracelets I've seen in jewelry stores," Lin Yang said with shining eyes, clearly delighted and satisfied.

"That's right! Just this one bracelet starts at 50,000, and even selling it for 70,000 or 80,000 wouldn't be expensive," Fatty Yao laughed. "A jade bracelet of this quality is already considered mid-to-high-end jade. The key is that this icy floating flower bracelet is the most popular."

This price range also makes it easier to sell.

"Brother, once they're all finished, there will be a dozen or so bracelets of various sizes. You probably can't use them all, right? Can you share some with me? I'll definitely give you a fair price," Fatty Yao said.

"Okay, I'll give you half," Lin Yang thought for a moment and then simply said, since he really didn't need more.

In addition to bracelets, there are also pendants, ornaments, cabochons, and jadeite bracelets.

"Half? That's fine too," Fatty Yao said, his mood brightening considerably.

As the saying goes, even a clever cook can't cook without rice; his jade processing workshop also lacks some high-quality jadeite!

"Brother Yao, look at my few small pieces of raw jade..." Lin Yang couldn't help but ask.

Fatty Yao chuckled, then got up and led Lin Yang to cut the stone.

In the room where the stone-cutting machine was located, the man who was helping Lin Yang cut the stones, Fatty Yao, said, "Brother Lin, these rough stones of yours are all just average. It's best not to have any high hopes. If they were really good stones, Ah Fa wouldn't be willing to give them away."

"Let's untie it first!" Lin Yang smiled noncommittally.

Soon, the first piece of rough jade was split in two. As expected, it contained only a few pieces of jadeite, not enough to make cabochons or even beads.

The second piece yielded nothing, and the third piece only yielded enough jade to make a mediocre cabochon, which was also not very valuable.

"Being able to cut out a jade cabochon is already a pretty good result," Fatty Yao laughed.

However, after the fourth piece of rough stone was cut open, the craftsman in charge of cutting the stone exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong? Has it gone up?" Fatty Yao asked in surprise, then rushed over.

"High-grade icy jadeite, bright green?" Upon seeing it, Fatty Yao was also surprised. He quickly asked the stone-cutting master to take it down for a closer look, and then couldn't help but regret: "Oh dear, what a pity. If it were a little bigger, the value of a bracelet would be hundreds of thousands."

"We can make several pendant ornaments, which are quite valuable," the stone-cutting master next to him said.

Fatty Yao said to Lin Yang, who walked over after him, with a slightly helpless expression, "We can only make a few plaques, pendants, and ring faces."

"That's great, Brother Yao. Then could you please help me process it and make it into Buddha and Guanyin pendants? I plan to keep them myself," Lin Yang said.

"A high-quality, bright green jadeite pendant is indeed quite rare; it makes me want to collect a couple," Fatty Yao nodded with a smile.

"Let's get a Buddha and a Guanyin pendant first. As for what to carve the rest, I'll let you know once I've decided!" Lin Yang said.

"It's alright. With the addition of the icy green material, I won't be able to finish it in a short time," Fatty Yao nodded.

"Oh, right, there's also a piece of raw jade," Lin Yang added.

Fatty Yao looked at the last piece of white sand skin, which was only about the size of a goose egg and really inconspicuous.

"Cut it!" Fatty Yao said to the stone-cutting master.

Soon, with the sound of the stone-cutting machine, Lin Yang's heart also tightened slightly.

According to the system's progress bar, the jadeite inside this rough stone should be of the highest quality.

"Brother Lin, this is the last piece. Come sit down over there and wait!" said Fatty Yao.

"It's alright, we can just wait here," Lin Yang said. Could the jadeite, which is even better than the high-grade icy green, be imperial green?

The rough stone wasn't large, so it was cut quickly. When the lid of the stone-cutting machine was opened, Yao Pangzi's eyes widened at the sight of the captivating, translucent emerald green on the cut surface: "This...Imperial Green?"

"This clarity...it's even better than high-ice jadeite, is it glassy jadeite? Glassy imperial green jadeite? My God, I actually found glassy imperial green jadeite?" The stone-cutting master was even more excited.
