Chapter 41: Calcite(1/2)

Wu Di hung up the phone on Pang Kuan and drove for a long time, but could not find the calcite factory. He had no choice but to find the number of Pang Kuan's relative and called. The person who answered the phone sounded very young, but Pang Kuan called him uncle, Wu Di.

It’s not surprising that relatives in rural areas generally have higher seniority, and he still calls the little guy in his uncle’s house who has a runny nose and wears crotchless pants as grandpa.

Following the instructions on the phone, after walking around for a long time, Wu Di saw several calcite factories connected together. Not only did he go the wrong way, but he also went in the opposite direction, but that was the way pointed by the old man Qin.

Huh? A sneer appeared on Wu Di's mouth. Don't you want me to unravel the stone here for fear of exposing you? I just want to unravel it and let you guys who are blind and only think about cheating all day long take a look at what is hidden inside.

baby!

Wu Di parked the car and walked into a calcite factory with six pieces of wool in his bag. The yard was large and the business was booming. The harsh sound of grinding wheels from a distance gave Wu Di goosebumps all over his body.

A young man of about thirty years old came out and upon asking, he turned out to be Pang Kuan's uncle. Seeing that Wu Di couldn't open his mouth, the man smiled and said:

"Let's talk about our own things. Just call me Brother Long. Do you think we should break the stone first or eat first?"

"Brother Long, you're welcome. There's no need to eat. Let's dismantle the stone first. After that, we still have something to do."

"Okay, let's undo the stone first. But you have to eat, and there is no bigger thing than eating. If my little grandson finds out that he didn't take care of you, and complains to his grandma, I can't bear it."

Wu Di couldn't help but smile when he heard his slightly teasing words.

After finding a stone-breaking machine and taking out the stones Wu Di bought, Brother Long asked with a smile:

"You spent 100,000? You were not ruthlessly ripped off. It seems that you also know that small stones are difficult to fake. The main reason is that you are too lazy to do it. You are okay with these few pieces and you have some eyesight."

Wu Di smiled and said:

"I just bought it for fun, there is no need to spend a lot of money."

Brother Long picked up the larger stone and asked:

"How much did you pay for this piece?"

"Seventy-two thousand. I think it's doing well."

"It's a bit of a performance, but it's not something that's easy to express. There's something wrong here, you see."

Brother Long pointed to a sunken place on the stone and said.

"Ah? Is there a problem?"

Wu Di looked quickly, but found nothing wrong.

Brother Long pointed to that place and said:

"Look, this place is slightly concave, and you can feel the stone texture slightly different from other places with your fingers. It should be because the window was opened and it didn't perform well, and the leather shell was processed and glued back. It's not fake wool.

However, the place with the window is generally the place with the best performance. The price of the stone that does not perform well with the window open and the stone that performs well without the window are completely different. Brother, I speak more straightforwardly, don’t mind, you

I'm afraid these 72,000 are wasted."

Wu Di felt the leather shell carefully with his fingers. Sure enough, the difference was not small. Why didn't he notice it?

Brother Long patted Wu Di on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"It's okay. You'll know it after seeing it often. Let's open this area first. How to open it?"

"Cut it right down the middle!"

"Have you never cut a stone before? How can it be cut like this? Some jadeite was cut away. Let's wipe the place where the window was opened first and take a look."

It is true that Wu Di has never solved the stone problem before, so he nodded and accepted the instruction.

Sure enough, as soon as the grinding wheel was on, the leather shell in that area was broken. Looking inside, there were only some crystal particles and no trace of green. Brother Long said:

"This stone is basically useless, let's just cut it."

After that, fix the wool and hand the handle to Wu Di.

"Come on, let off some steam!"

Wu Di held the handle, turned on the switch, and pressed it. When the blade came into contact with the wool, Wu Di felt a huge backlash. He quickly held the handle with both hands and pressed down harder. The stone was not big, and it turned into a stone in minutes.

Both halves were filled with very thick crystal particles. Brother Long took a look and said:

"It's a stone from Xinchangkou. In hundreds of thousands of years, it will turn into jade, haha."

Then he picked up another fist-sized stone and said with a smile:

"Don't be discouraged. That's what gambling on stones is like. You don't want every stone to be green, you just want it to rise sharply! Come on, get a grinding wheel, let's rub out these little guys, maybe we can even make a glass seed!

"

Brother Long obviously didn't have the ability to make a prophecy come true. Brother Long wiped four of the five stones, and Wu Dicai wiped one. Except for one piece with signs of crystallization, the rest were just stones. It is estimated that another 1.8 million yuan would be buried.

The year is about the same.

Wu Di spat hard, patted the dust on his body, and suddenly smiled:

"Betting doesn't count as losing. If everyone has to give out emeralds, where can I find the excitement of betting on gains?"

"Okay, brother, I will have an extra bottle at noon today!"

Wu Di quickly declined. He had a deep understanding of Yudu’s drinking culture. He only had one sentence: if you don’t drink it, you didn’t drink well.

After washing his hands, Brother Long changed his clothes and wanted to take Wu Di to eat Hand in Hand and Oriental Invincible. According to him, the Hand in Hand in that store is the best, and people from the city often drive here just to eat that stuff. Wu Di asked what happened.

What is it? Brother Long kept it secret, saying that he would know it after seeing it, but it was boring to say it.

Brother Long's car was a QQ, parked next to the Range Rover, which made Wu Di's car even more gigantic. From afar, he saw a Land Rover parked next to his car, and Brother Long said doubtfully:

"I haven't heard of any high-end customers coming here to solve the problem today. This car still has a Beijing brand!"

Wu Di said embarrassedly:

"Brother Long, that's my car. I borrowed it from a friend."

"Okay, you kid, you're better off than Brother Long, and someone actually lent you a Land Rover, so the 100,000 you spent is nothing! If you want to play, I'll take you to their warehouse to buy it directly in the afternoon, no one will dare to

Fooled with fakes.”

As soon as he got in the car, Brother Long saw the big stone in the trunk and shouted:

"Damn! Isn't this the old elephant skin of Lao Qintou? Brother, how did you get it done?"

"How did you get it done? Did you pay for it?"

"How much?"

Brother Long asked nervously,

"Hey, five million!"

"Damn, I'm not going to eat anymore. Go ask him to refund the money! If you don't tell me, I will kill that damn old man!"

"No, please don't, I still expect glass to come out of this stone!"

"Glass type? I asked you, do you have a head? If you can produce a glass type, it will be your turn? This stone has at least ten fakes!"

Brother Long looks like he hates iron for not becoming steel.

"Holy crap! I only saw two things!"

"You saw two things and you still buy it? You are a pig!"

Brother Long is about to vomit blood. No, he has to turn around and ask his little grandson to stay away from this guy. His brain is not normal.

Wu Di looked at the angry Brother Long and knew that Brother Long was a warm-hearted person who really regarded him as a friend, so he said sincerely:

"Brother Long, my money didn't come from the strong wind. I bought it even though I knew it was a fraud. It's because this stone has another mystery. I'll find out after I untie it after dinner."

Brother Long also calmed down and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Xiao Wu, I..."

"Don't say anything. I know that Brother Long treats me like Pang Kuan before he lectures me. I understand. By the way, does Brother Long know a fat businessman in his thirties who speaks Cantonese Mandarin?

"

Wu Di described Boss Mao's appearance.

When Brother Long heard this, he cursed:

"I fucking knew it was this bastard Erzi! Is he waiting nearby and saying that he wants to buy it if you don't?"

"yes."

"That kid is a gangster. He killed people and ran away. He lived in Yangcheng for a few years. This year he came back after the matter was resolved. I heard that he made some money outside. Later he lost everything by betting on stones. This time he came back and...

The bosses on that street colluded to defraud outsiders. It must have been your car that caught their attention. You don’t even think about where Yangcheng is. How would you go to a remote place like ours to collect stones? No, I still have to

Go to them and get at least part of your money back."

"Brother Long, don't worry, you will know who suffered the loss when you untie the stone. It seems that this old elephant skin is very famous. What is going on?"

"This piece of old elephant skin was brought back by Lao Qintou and his son from Myanmar two years ago from gambling. It is said that he spent a lot of money on it. As soon as it was brought back, it caused a sensation in the entire jade carving village. The stone was cracked in secret. It is said that the rubbing process was carried out secretly.

After opening a few windows, Lao Qin's family didn't dare to go under the knife again. Later, I heard that it took a lot of effort to find experts to repair the wiped windows, and they only put them up for sale in the past six months. I didn't expect you to be in trouble.

A big somersault.”

Wu Di smiled and changed the topic,

"Brother Long, I haven't seen many people buying stones. Why are there so many people in the stone factory?"
