Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 312 Glass Species

   One old and one young, one taught patiently, the other listened carefully, and before you knew it, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

   In about an hour, Yang Chen learned a lot about jade from Master Tang.

   Looking at the old man's unfinished look, Yang Chen couldn't help but think of his two apprentices who had never met.

   Master Tang's talk box, I don't know if it has always been like this, or because the two apprentices have not been around these few days, which makes him less fun in lecturing.

   took a sip of tea, and Yang Chen looked at the rough jadeite stone placed on the counter again.

   After thinking for a while, he asked, "Master Tang, how about selling your rough stone to me?"

   "Uh" Master Tang was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Is your little friend interested in gambling stones?"

   You must know that he has just explained the rough stone clearly, he never thought that Yang Chen was still interested in it, which made him not know what to say.

  Yang Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not really interested in gambling stones, but I just met them. I feel that I have a fate. It doesn't matter whether I make a profit or a loss."

   "If Master Tang is willing to sell it, I can buy it at the original price."

   Hearing that Yang Chen was planning to buy it at the original price, Master Tang had nothing to say. He glanced at the original stone on the counter, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "If you like it, I can sell it to you at half price."

   He studied this rough stone for several days, but never got through it. As a businessman, he would not go all the way to the dark like a gambler.

  Since you can't see it through, try to minimize your losses. This is a successful businessman.

   Over the years, as he got older, Master Tang's interest in gambling stones became less and less, and more time was spent on carving instead.

   In the end, Yang Chen did not buy the rough stone at half price, but bought it at the original price.

   For this small amount of money, Yang Chen really didn't take it seriously. He bought this stone just to satisfy his interest and curiosity.

   Seeing that Yang Chen was so generous, Master Tang was happy, so he wanted to dissolve the stone for him in person.

  Master Tang seldom does litholysis by himself nowadays. Usually, two apprentices do the work, and he occasionally guides them.

   In front of a cutting machine, Master Tang took the rough stone that had been bought by Yang Chen, put the rough stone on the base, and reached out to start the cutting machine.

   The shiny blade turned with a 'swoosh' sound.

   When he was cutting, Yang Chen, Laura and Wu Yaoxin involuntarily came over to watch.

   One knife after another, several knives down, as always, except the stone is still the stone.

   Master Tang kept moving his hands and kept cutting the rough stone to the size of a bowl before Master Tang stopped.

   "Green?" Wu Yaoxin wiped his eyes.

   reached out and turned off the cutting machine. Master Tang wiped the cut side with his hand. When he saw that the middle of the rough stone was all green, his eyes were about to pop out.

  Yang Chen put his head close, looked at the green patch in the middle of the rough stone, it was clear and translucent, and he couldn't see any impurities. He blinked his eyes, and said, "Is this a glass species?"

   Master Tang removed the original stone from the light, and gave Yang Chen a complicated look.

   To be honest, he now regrets having said so much to Yang Chen just now.

   If he didn't tell the other party so much, he could still be cheeky, try it out, and see if he can redeem the original stone.

   Now, he really can't hold his face to say this, and he regrets why he stopped the two apprentices from dissolving the stone in the first place.

  If you don't stop it, the original stone will not fall into Yang Chen's hands now.

   His knife has increased the value of this rough stone by a factor of ten. Yang Chen just spent fifty thousand dollars to buy this rough stone, and in a blink of an eye, it has doubled in value.

   Is there anything more profitable than this?

   didn't say much, Master Tang didn't ask Yang Chen if he still wanted to dissolve the stone, he just restarted the cutting machine, ready to completely dissolve this rough stone.

   This time, when Master Tang was cutting, he was more careful and cut slowly.

   Soon, the bowl-shaped rough stone was slowly cut into fist size, and the green on the rough stone became more and more.

   Shut down the cutting machine again. After careful inspection, Master Tang looked at Yang Chen calmly, "The glass seed can't escape."

   "Press?" Yang Chen gave Master Tang a puzzled look, a little puzzled what the other party meant.

   "See for yourself." Master Tang handed the flashlight and jade in his hand to Yang Chen, and then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

   Now Master Tang's mood is very complicated, he doesn't know how to describe his current mood.

   The first time I touched the original stone, I found the top-quality jadeite of the glass species.

  No, that's not right, it should be the dragon species.

   The kind he had never seen before, only the legendary "dragon species" existed.

  Chameleon-like glass species, different angles can produce different colors, full of charm and vitality.

   It was precisely because he suspected that there was a dragon seed hidden in the depths of this glass seed, that Master Tang turned from regret at the beginning to indifference.

  Master Tang kept comforting himself, and kept saying to himself, 'It's none of his business, it's just the other party's good luck. ’

  This rough stone, he never thought to untie it, even if Yang Chen didn't buy it, he would sell it to others.

   What's more, he didn't lose money, the other party bought it at the original price? He didn't lose money, not a penny.

  'I have no loss...'

  ‘I have no losses’

   'It's just the other party's luck...'

  ‘But, is it so painful for Mao Xin? Liver pain? Stomach hurts too? ’

   In just one minute, Master Tang smoked three cigarettes in a row before suppressing the urge to burst blood on his head.

   Fortunately, he usually pays attention to maintenance, and there is no so-called high blood pressure. Otherwise, he might be lying on the ground now.

   On the other side, Yang Chen held a flashlight, pointed at the jade in his hand, and looked at it, and saw that the inside of the jade was full of moisture and hardly contained any impurities.

The    is clear and translucent, and the particles are so small that the naked eye can't see it clearly, which is exactly the same as the glass species introduced to him by Master Tang just now.

   But what puzzled him was why there was a strange group of things in the innermost part, black for a while, red for a while, green for a while, and changed color from another angle.

  ‘What’s going on here? ' Yang Chen was puzzled by this.

   turned his head to look at Master Tang, who continued to take cigarettes from the cigarette case, and wanted to ask, but seeing the distressed appearance of the other party, he could not bear to continue to beat the other party.

   Turn off the flashlight and put it beside Master Tang, Yang Chen said softly, "Elder Tang, let's go first."

   As if he didn't hear it, Master Tang just smoked and didn't react at all.

   Seeing this, Yang Chen shook his head, took the glass jade in his hand, and left the jade shop with Laura.

   It is not difficult to see from Master Tang's appearance that he definitely made a lot of money this time. Since there is no answer here, when we return to Xiangjiang, there are people who can ask.
