Lin Luo followed An ZiHao downstairs and arrived at the warehouse where the jadeite ore was held.

“Hello, Vice President Lin!” As soon as he walked in, Lin Luo was welcomed by the staff, most of whom were jadeite cutting experts hired by the company. Lin Luo would review the material in batches, and the ore that had been reviewed would be transported to the cutting experts to be delt with. Once done, the cut jadeite would be sent to the Energy Department and distributed to the energy engineers.

“Xiao Luo! We’re back!” He Kun waved emphatically at Lin Luo.

The team of stone gambling consultants headed by elder Gao also came back together.

“You’ve been flying for so long, don’t you want to go back and rest soon?” Lin Luo looked at his good friend with amusement.

“We’re not tired!” He Kun rushed over and hooked his arm around Lin Luo’s shoulders, then walked towards the pile of jadeite with him. “This time we had a lot of jadeite that we weren’t sure about. Come and help us!”

They weren’t in a hurry to go back to rest, but instead chose to wait for Lin Luo just to listen to him analyze the jadeite pieces they weren’t sure about. As the saying goes, “listening to the words of a wise man can be better than studying ten years of books.” Lin Luo was able to analyze every piece of jadeite that they weren’t sure about.

In the past, when the old team of consultants encountered difficult to judge pieces, they all liked to solve it directly on site on Kulta, but the chances of the jadeite being a losing piece were greater. Since they had Lin Luo around though, there was basically no need for them to take those kind of risks since Lin Luo could always analyze the difficult pieces. Even elder Gao liked to follow the young people to see Lin Luo’s analysis.

Lin Luo quickly walked to the small pile of jadeite that the stone gambling experts couldn’t decide on, and squatted down to look over each piece one by one.

“Xiao Luo, look my black sand skin jadeite first!” He Kun took the top black oval jadeite and handed it to Lin Luo.

Lin Luo took the jadeite and moved closer to observe it carefully.

From the perspective of the matrix alone, this piece of jadeite was a very good gamble. After all, its sanding was very good. Not only was the sand hard, but the grains were also very fine and uniform in size. However, most of the husk of the jadeite material was uneven and hilly, and a small part of the husk was honeycomb-shaped. If it was looked at with a magnifying glass, they would be able to see that it had an appearance like fine cotton, which would indicate that the jade inside may have mutated. In such a case, it would be hard to know whether it had changed for better or for worse.

That aside, the piece of material had neither tinea scabs nor python bands or pine flowers, so it was difficult to make a judgment. He Kun and elder Gao and the others had been studying it for a long time, but they were still not sure about it, so ultimately they could only bring it back and show it to Lin Luo.

After a while, Lin Luo shook his head, “I don’t think we should bet on this piece of ore.”

“Why?” He Kun hurriedly asked.

“The degradation of the matrix of the jadeite was caused from the outside in. Now that you’ve found the variation of the skin, it means that the interior may also be affected. Compared with the other parts, the distribution and arrangement of sand in this honeycomb part are chaotic, which means that the jade structure inside is chaotic.” Lin Luo said, pointing to the concave part of the honeycomb matrix, “And if you take a closer look, do you see the difference between the color of this bit of sand and the side?”

He Kun hurriedly held the jadeite, moved it closer to the light, and observed it carefully for a while before he asked a little uncertainly, “Here… it seems that the color is a bit gray?”

“Yes, the recessed part of this honeycomb matrix indicates that the weathered layer has been corroded. The color here is actually its base sand root, which can directly reflect the quality of the jade inside. The sand root here is gray-black. It shows that the jade inside was also affected by corrosion, and it is likely to be gray and faded, so thats why I said that this material is not suitable for betting.”

“Oh my God! Xiao Luo, you’re so awesome, you can even find such a subtle difference!” He Kun was first excited, then frustrated, “I’ve been studying very hard, so why am I still so weak?”

“Because I have beast genes my vision is more developed than yours, so I have some advantages.” Lin Luo smiled slightly and patted his shoulder, “Look, listen, learn, and accumulate. You can do it too.”

“I really wish I could just follow you around every day and listen to your analysis!”

“Haha, are you trying to exhaust me?” Lin Luo looked at him in disbelief.

“Xiao Luo, help me look over this one!” Xu Jian couldn’t help but step forward and picked up a piece of white salt sand skin jadeite.

There was a crack in the piece of jadeite through which you could vaguely see a faint red color of the jade inside. At first glance, betting on it would definitely have been a big increase. However, the bad thing about it was that there were pieces of tinea scabs on the corners of the crack. This type of tinea scab usually had a strong penetrating power and could cause damage to the internal jade, so it was sometimes called fierce tinea.

If the piece of material belonged to Xu Jian, then he would definitely want to take a gamble and try his luck. Unfortunately, the piece of jadeite belonged to the company. If the bet was a loss, it would be a loss for the company. Raw jadeite could still be sold to jadeite merchants at low prices, while a piece from a broken bet was worthless.

That’s why he brought it to Lin Luo, so he could help analyze it to see if the piece of material was worth betting on.
