Chapter 20 Chapter 020

Following Uncle Zhou's footsteps, Jia Sidao entered the back room.And Ali in the lobby seemed to be thinking that there should be no guests coming in such a short time, so she also followed Jia Sidao, wanting to see if the two thousand yuan worth of wool was worth it? Can cut out emerald, or just a piece of waste rock. Contrary to Jia Sidao's expectations, the space in the back room is not inferior to that of the lobby. Moreover, the gray-purple tables, chairs, bookshelves, cabinets, etc. all make this room look so simple and elegant. A bit of elegance.Not to mention those few pieces = specially placed porcelain, how delicate and dignified it feels to people, just a series of dishes and teapots placed on the coffee table, Jia Sidao can't call the authentic name Come.

"Uncle Zhou, are you here?" Jia Sidao asked in surprise.No matter how you look at the furnishings in the back room, it doesn't look like it's used for cutting stones, but it's more like a place to entertain guests.There is an elegant rhyme everywhere.Even a person like Jia Sidao, who consciously has no elegant sentiments, can't help but have a deeper understanding and longing for the word "style" after coming to such a room. "Here?" Uncle Zhou turned his head and glanced at Jia Sidao, and said, "You really want to." As he spoke, he didn't stop, turned around a wooden screen, and walked forward. After a few steps, I came to another rather small room.

Now Jia Sidao understood. The room can only accommodate two beds, and it is basically the same size as the house that Jia Sidao rented.There are also some strange-shaped stones piled up in the corner, oh no, it should be wool.But Jia Sidao took a cursory glance, only to find that the wool here is somewhat different from the ones displayed in the lobby outside, and should not belong to jadeite wool. There are many tools on the side, which is quite messy.There was even some dust on the ground that hadn't been cleaned. "Tell me, how do you want to cut your wool." Uncle Zhou said to Jia Sidao.

"Is there anything special about cutting wool?" Jia Sidao was puzzled. "You, I really don't know how to say hello." Jia Sidao asked, as if he couldn't even look past Ali who was standing next to him, and couldn't help explaining, "The rough jadeite is relatively hard, especially the precious one. Generally, it is necessary to hire professional personnel and use professional tools to cut the wool. But, this piece in your hand,” said Ali, looking at Uncle Zhou, “just hire a semi-professional like my dad to cut it. It is enough for someone to cut it for you. Of course, you can also try it yourself.”

"Do it yourself?" Jia Sidao was eager to try.However, this was his first time gambling with stones, if he said he was not nervous, it would be a lie.This thing is similar in nature to buying lottery tickets, the only difference is that Jia Sidao is more sure of winning the lottery.Even so, although Jia Sidao was quite calm on the surface, he was extremely anxious in his heart. "I'll forget it. Uncle Zhou, please trouble you." Jia Sidao said, holding the woolen material with both hands, and handing it to Uncle Zhou. "Put it on the ground." In Uncle Zhou's voice, no one could tell what kind of attitude it was, "However, since the wool is already yours, I will ask you clearly. When cutting stones, it is according to my opinion. Or at your own request?"

This is the brilliance of Uncle Zhou as a businessman. Before the wool is cut, no one knows whether there is any jade in it.If something went wrong during the cutting because of his insistence, it would be hard to tell if he would care about it later. "Just do what you want." Jia Sidao felt that he didn't know anything anyway, and, faintly felt that the use of the power just now seemed a little too much, and his head was a little swollen.This made Jia Sidao a little impatient, wishing he could cut up the wool immediately, take out the emerald, and then go home and have a good sleep.

"Then you just stand on the side and wait." Uncle Zhou is not surprised by Jia Sidao's decision. If Jia Sidao really wants to do it himself, it can only show that Jia Sidao doesn't care about this piece of wool. Perhaps it was because he saw Jia Sidao's nervousness, or because the piece of wool was small, but Yan Ran agreed with it. To be careful, Uncle Zhou planned to study it carefully before considering where to start. Under the knife.However, in Jia Sidao's view, such a move, although serious and responsible, wasted too much time.Jia Sidao was really worried that he might be in a daze, so he fell to the ground and fell asleep.

On the contrary, when Ali was waiting by the side, she didn't show any impatient expression. What Jia Sidao didn't know was that cutting stones is actually a science.If you really have to think about it carefully, Uncle Zhou's way of doing things has been simplified a lot.Many stone gamblers, after buying the wool, do not cut it directly, but also need to rub the stone to reduce the risk.Sometimes it will rub up, and you can change hands at a high price; sometimes after rubbing stones, the price will drop sharply. However, rubbing up is not up.The value of any wool can only be clarified after it is untied.

Uncle Zhou is not a person who has been immersed in the stone gambling industry for many years, and Jia Sidao's wool is really cheap, so there is no need to be so particular about it. "Uncle Zhou, let me see it like this. I still have something to do. Why don't you just cut the wool into two halves from the middle. If you have it, you have it. If you don't, you don't have it. It's clear." Jia Sidao casually found a The reason, said to Uncle Zhou. "Are you sure you want to cut it from the middle?" Uncle Zhou became a little curious about Jia Sidao's sudden change, "If there is any good jade in it, it will be broken if you cut it down."

It seems that only when faced with that kind of inferior goods, or leftovers, will they choose to cut directly from the middle. Otherwise, jadeite is not a watermelon, so it can be cut in any way. "Look, I think so. I don't know if there is any so-called emerald in this wool. Even if there is, I am afraid it is not a valuable emerald." Jia Sidao said, "So, I am thinking about it. , it’s better to cut it open with a single knife, it’s more refreshing.” "Alright." Uncle Zhou seemed to understand Jia Sidao's scruples, and nodded in agreement. This stone gambling is definitely a world-class test for the heart.The so-called one knife poor one knife rich, exactly so.Without a good heart, especially for a young person like Jia Sidao who is participating in stone gambling for the first time, most likely he will not adapt well.

Jia Sidao was afraid that Uncle Zhou would cut the small jadeite in half, so he made some gestures on the wool so that Uncle Zhou could just cut it on the horizontal middle line. The small piece of jadeite in the middle position itself is somewhat biased, which can just be completely seen from the cut surface. Regarding Jia Sidao's suggestion, Uncle Zhou didn't say much. Anyway, this half-cut job really doesn't have much technical content at all. As the sound of the grinding wheel stopped, one piece of wool suddenly became two pieces.The action is clean and crisp, the cuts are flat, and smooth.It is enough to show Uncle Zhou's strength in knife work. Jia Sidao stretched out his hand and took half of the emerald, until he saw the green emerald appear on the cut surface.
