Chapter 65

Hou Yuanming's jade jewelry shop is not far from Baxian temple.

At the beginning, Hou's father was also full of courage. When he was in his 40s, he decided to go to the south to start the jade business. Later, after having some experience and channels, he returned to Xijing in the early 1990s to open this jade jewelry store.

Hou Yuanming had been a soldier for several years. Later, he returned home from work. He had just been a civil servant for several years, but he didn't find it interesting. At that time, Hou's father intended to come back to open a shop, so he and his son worked together to set up the shop.

With Hou's father's experience and channels, and Hou Yuanming's shrewd mind, the two of them complement each other. Over the past few years, their business has grown bigger and bigger. At the beginning of this year, they opened a branch in the city center.

Hou Yuanming's jewelry shop is called cuiyuzhai. The decoration outside and inside the shop is in the same style as Baxian temple. It looks very simple and elegant. This shop has been nearly ten years. Although the space in the shop was very large in those days, it is only medium in today's eyes.

Walking into the shop, in the middle of the circle, there are antique glass cabinets, most of which are jadeite jewelry, and some are white jade. On the left and right sides as well as on the one side of the front are exquisite ancient style wall cabinets, in which there are various exquisite jadeite or white jade statues and ornaments.

Cuiyuzhai should be very famous in Xijing, even at noon, there are several customers there to choose jewelry or ornaments. After Chu Chen and others came in, Hou Yuanming exchanged a few words with the waiter, and then directly took them to the backyard, the place where Cui yuzhai gambled.

The backyard area of cuiyuzhai is about two fifths smaller than that of Juyuan Pavilion, and the wool is also less than that of Juyuan Pavilion.

According to Hou Yuanming, the lowest wool here is 100 yuan, and the highest one is more than 1 million yuan. No matter how good it is, there are not many gamblers in Xijing. If you buy wool with too high price, it will take up a lot of money if you can't sell it. It's not cost-effective.

There are also three stone disintegrators in the courtyard, one for each of them. Although there are not many stone disintegrators at noon, there are three people standing beside the medium-sized stone disintegrator, and a young man in his twenties is wearing glasses and cutting wool there. But don't look down upon this man's age, but he is very skillful in the action of removing stones.

"It's going up!"

This voice immediately attracts the eyes of Chu Chen and others, and Wen Yuting pulls Chu Yulan to run there quickly.

When Chu Chen and others came to the stone disintegrator, they just saw the window where the wool was cut. Under this look, Chu Chen did not seem so excited.

Although the section is green, the green should be considered as bean green, and it looks like waxy seed. The value depends on how much jadeite can be produced. However, the chance of a big rise is slim.

Sure enough, the next cut, the value of jade has almost come out. Chu Chen estimated that the jadeite could be made into several pairs of bracelets at most, with some ring faces and hanging decorations, but the total value was only 15-6. Compared with Chu Chen's more than 1000 yuan and more than 1 million yuan of glass, it must be incomparable.

Although for Chu Chen, this is nothing, but the owner of the wool, a middle-aged man among the three, has been very happy.

After learning the result, the man was very excited. Chu Chen inquired and found out that he had spent 18 thousand yuan to buy the wool, and that it was a good rise to offer 150 thousand jadeite.

Next, the young man who solved the stone discussed with several people who were standing before and asked them how they wanted to cut. Finally, they decided to remove some of the leftover materials first, and then wipe them again, which was safer, so as to ensure the integrity of the jade.

In the end, Chu Chen did not expect that the jadeite was worth about 150000 yuan.

Seeing this, the old man in his sixties standing on one side said with a smile, "boss song, you have realized your dream this time. How about selling this material to me for 150000 yuan?"

With a look of excitement, boss Song said, "boss Hou, no problem at all. Young man, take a rest first. I'll trouble you later and untie the rest of the wool. "

According to Hou Yuanming, the song boss is also a boss with a rank of at least ten million. He only plays gambling stones to feel the fun of gambling, and he doesn't indulge in it, so he looks like he doesn't care. And that old man is Hou Yuanming's father.

When it was time to rest, Hou Yuanming introduced them to each other.

"Dad, you don't see that Xiao Chu is young. He is not only good at antique identification, but also a master at gambling stones." Hou Yuanming said with a smile.

Hou Fu nodded with a smile and said, "that's good. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Today, Xiao Chu is going to show his hand."

Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid, Hou. I'm just lucky. I can't compare with your rich experience."

Hou Fu said with a smile: "luck is also a kind of strength, and I think the most important thing in our business is luck. As the old saying goes, it's hard for immortals to break inch jade, so good luck is also your capital. Well, Xiao Chu, you go to see the wool first, and I won't delay you any more. "Seeing that she was going to see the wool, Wen Yuting was so excited that she took Chu Yulan to the jade wool because of the atmosphere of gambling just now. Chu Chen and others shook their heads and laughed.

"Brother Li, if you don't look at your girlfriend, don't buy blindly for a while. You'll cry when you lose the bet." Chuchen said with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Guodong could only shake his head, sighed and followed him. There was no way. Who told him to stand up with such a girlfriend.

Zhou Wenping also said with a smile: "Xiaochen, I'll follow him to have a look. Guodong doesn't think he has the ability to set the sea god needle."

Chu Chen also thinks that Li Guodong is always like eating in front of Wen Yuting. Zhou Wenping can go and have a look.

See Zhou Wenping they all went to see wool, Hou Yuanming said: "Xiao Chu, then I don't disturb you to see wool, you will call me later."

"Wait a minute, brother Hou, most of the wool you put here are new materials. To be honest, I'm not very interested in this kind of wool."

See Hou Yuanming also want to leave, Chu Chen called him. When he came in just now, Chu Chen made a cursory scan and found that many of these open-air piles were made of wool from xinchangkou. This kind of wool is OK for new comers, but his words are a little lacking of interest.

Hou Yuanming patted his forehead after hearing the speech and said, "Hey, I thought you would be a little interested in new materials. I forgot that you are a master of gambling. Let's go. I'll take you there now."

Although Hou Yuanming had heard from Li Guodong and others that Chu Chen was a master of gambling stones, after all, Chu Chen was a little young, and his experience in gambling stones depended on the accumulation of time, so it was impossible for him to completely believe it, so he didn't take Chu Chen to see the wool of the old market at the beginning.

Hou Yuanming and Chu Chen come to a room with good security measures. This room has more than 40 square meters, most of which are made of old materials, and of course, there are some new materials which are very conspicuous.

The wool here is divided into three piles, one for the old and one for the new, and one for the window. However, there is not much wool for the window, but this is just learning. Hou Yuanming's family is originally engaged in the jade business. If they do well in the window, they will probably solve the problem by themselves.

Hou Yuanming some complacent said: "Xiao Chu, the wool here should be enough for you to choose, I believe, even in the whole Xijing, there are not many good wool performance than my family."

Chu Chen also agreed that the wool here is really very good. The wool at the same price is not inferior to Lu Changshun's Juyuan Pavilion. So he nodded and said:

"brother Hou, your wool is really good. It seems that I'll take some time to make a good choice. Otherwise, I'm sorry for the opportunity you gave me."

"Yes, you can choose, but there is a piece of wool in it. You can only see it, not buy it."

With a trace of apology, Hou Yuanming pointed to a piece of wool with a weight of more than 50 kg and said, "this wool was bought in southern Yunnan for more than two million yuan last year. It's my father's favorite piece of wool, but he can't make up his mind to solve it."

Chu Chen had a rough look at the wool, and his performance was really good. However, since the owner said he couldn't sell it, he wouldn't care. So he said with a smile, "brother Hou, I can certainly understand that, but since old Hou likes it so much, I must study it carefully."

After signaling with Hou Yuanming, Chu Chen began to carefully select the first wool. But the first surprise to him was baojue.

Originally, he did not expect that after the ability was upgraded, baojue could also affect the emerald wool. Although it was shorter than the distance from the antique, it took him 30 cm to feel it, but it was a big surprise for him. When choosing jadeite, you can save him a lot of time.

The wool that Chu Chen saw first was the one Hou Yuanming had instructed before. After carefully looking at this wool, he praised it secretly. This wool not only has a python, but also has a rare spring pine flower on the python.

You know, spring pine flower is a very rare violet. It's a rare gambler performance to add this kind of pine flower to the band python.

To tell you the truth, Chu Chen is really excited to see such performance, but it's a pity that the owner doesn't sell it, so he can't help it. However, after he uses the power, he didn't expect the result to disappoint him.
