Chapter 1819: Betting on Stones
After returning to Liang's house, Liang Qian was at a loss, sighed and felt ashamed.
In the antique world, if you borrow someone else's treasure, you should return it to Zhao. Now, you will smash Chen Er's heirloom. If this is to be spread, Liang Qian will not continue to do it in the industry.
Moreover, no one will cooperate with Liang Qian again.
The most important thing is that Liang Qian's reputation has been deteriorated all his life.
Looking at grandpa's decadent and anxious look, Liang Tingting regretted it very much, regretting that she shouldn't have a cat, "Grandpa, I'm sorry..."
"Hey, what's the use of saying this now!" Liang Qian looked up, his eyes covered with blood. "I have to think of a way to find a piece of jade material first."
"Grandpa, if it is ordinary jade, you can still find it, but if you want to find such a large piece of imperial green jade, this... it is obviously a difficult task. There has not been a piece of imperial green jade in the current jade market for many years."
"I know, but even so, I have to find it."
After tossing and turning night, it was a little dawn in the morning, Liang Qian got up, called all his friends in the jewelry industry, and asked to find imperial green jade.
Three days later, a friend named Qian Suncheng called Liang Qian and said that a huge jadeite rough stone appeared in Guancheng. Judging from the material exposed outside the leather, it was of excellent quality and reached the level of imperial green. If it was cut out, it would cause a sensation in the entire jade treasure world.
】
At the border between Guancheng and Myanmar, the jadeite in Myanmar is the best jadeite in the world, and most of the imperial greens come from Myanmar.
This time, a jade jeweler reluctantly gave up his love because of his capital turnover and took this excellent jadeite rough stone to Guancheng for auction.
For top-notch jadeite rough stones like this, the starting price is over 100 million yuan.
Although Imperial Green can already be seen on the outside, it is another unknown whether it is inside.
The reason why this original owner didn't dare to cut it himself was because he was afraid that after cutting it out, it would be unsatisfactory, so the price would immediately dive, which might be worth a few million, or it might not be worth the penny.
The original owner didn't want to take risks, so the auction was the wisest.
This is what the jade world calls "poverty with one knife and one knife with one knife".
If the cut is done, it will turn 10 times and 100 times. If it is not done well, it will go bankrupt directly.
A piece of raw stone is priced at over 100 million yuan, and not everyone can afford it.
After Qian Suncheng told Liang Qian this information, Liang Qian immediately mortgaged it, sold the collections in his hand, and raised 300 million yuan to go to Guancheng.
Liang Tingting also went there together.
On the plane, Liang Qian looked at the pictures of the original stone sent by Qian Suncheng. The leather of the stone is very good, and the material that has been exposed on the leather is also very good. He does have the qualifications of imperial green. Generally speaking, the color of the internal material must be better than the color of the exposed material, but this is not necessarily true. There are many examples. The outer cortex looks excellent, but after cutting, there are countless cracks, commonly known as "dissected stone".
The jade is of good quality, but there are many cracks, which means it is broken.
"Grandpa, do you really have to fight?" Liang Tingting was very anxious. This time she went there, to put it bluntly, it was just a gambling stone. Liang Qian had never done such a thing in his life.
"If you don't fight, why should you get Lao Chen's stuff? The size of this piece of material is exactly ten times that of 'Guanyin'."
"But it's unknown whether the interior is full of green or whether it reaches imperial green."
"There is no choice but to take a gamble now. I think the leather is very good, and 50% of it can produce imperial green."
"..." Liang Tingting stopped talking and felt even heavier. Although 50% of them could drive imperial green, 50% might not.
At around 1 pm, the two arrived in Wancheng.
Qian Suncheng drove to pick them up and arranged to stay in the hotel.
After arriving at the room, Liang Qian was impatient to inquire with Qian Suncheng about the specific situation and the chance of this material being made of imperial green.
Qian Suncheng is a jade businessman. He has been playing jade for a lifetime. His opinions are the same as Liang Qian, and half of them may be able to produce imperial green.
Having half of confidence in the industry would be amazing.
"We both have the same idea!" Liang Qian took a sip of tea with a serious expression.
Qian Suncheng was very confused, "Old Liang, why did you suddenly want to buy the imperial green stone? It seems that it must be imperial green."
Liang Qian could not tell the truth, so he could only lament, "I have difficulties, but it is not convenient to say."
"It's not convenient, but I still want to remind you that gambling stones is risky and the price is so high that many people are waiting and watching now."
“When will the shooting start?”
“In 3 days.”
"Okay. Get me a ticket."
"This is a small matter."
"Can you also find out what powerful buyers are there, their psychological prices, etc.?" Liang Qian asked.
"Okay, I'll go investigate."
Three days have passed in a blink of an eye and it is time for auction.
This auction was organized by the local Jade Organization Association. All the people who come to the jade industry are well-known figures, and spectators cannot enter.
The admission tickets were also issued by the Jade Organization Association. Qian Suncheng is a cadre in the association, so it is natural to get two admission tickets.
The venue is held at the Landling Stone Museum, which is very safe, and has all the tools for cutting, as well as various stone masters.
At 2 pm, Landling Stone Museum.
Liang Qian, Liang Tingting and Qian Suncheng arrived at the venue.
The venue was full of people, with about 300 people, all gathering in groups of three or three, and jade merchants from all walks of life were eager to try.
"I heard it is imperial green jade."
"It may not be possible, and I can't see it inside. It's just that the cortex has been exposed. Let's see it clearly later."
"Is the starting price 100 million?"
"It's not clear yet. If it really opens 100 million, it's probably difficult for someone to follow and take photos."
Several jade merchants were talking in a low voice.
Liang Qian frowned and felt unsure, "Old Qian, shouldn't the owner of the goods really offer a starting price of 100 million yuan?"
Qian Suncheng looked around and whispered: "Internal information, the owner of the goods has dropped to 60 million, and it is a gimmick to open 100 million."
“60 million is not low.”
"Old Liang, if you really drive the Emperor Green, it will be at least dozens of times. This is a gambling stone. You either lose or win. Actually, I still don't understand why you are going to the auction? Don't you have enough collections? Or you are obsessed with jade now. Although the Emperor Green is a pyramid, you don't have to pursue the pyramid."
"It's hard to describe it!" Liang Qian sighed deeply. He didn't want to bet on stones, but he was really helpless.
After more than ten minutes, a truck drove in, and several workers carefully placed the jadeite raw materials on the table. A fat middle-aged man walked onto the stage. He was the owner of the goods, a Burmese man, speaking a stiff and hot summer speech.
