Chapter 58 Harvest Season (2)
Fan Chengru took out a magnifying glass and looked at the cracks of the rocks. This time he cut the knife just right, just cutting the black stone skin, but it didn't hurt the "meat" inside at all. Meat is an industry term, referring to Tian Huang himself wrapped in stone skin. The old man nodded and said, "It's basically Tian Huang. You are lucky. The preliminary judgment should be Lao Tian Huang with three layers of skin." Although only one mouth was opened, the old man made a judgment based on his experience. Tian Huang Shi bet on stones like this.
After preliminary confirmation, Fan Cheng was more cautious in his knife. He is worthy of being a master of stone carving for many years. His knife skills are very delicate and skillful, and he can peel off the stone skin like lines.
After a long time, a yellow band-shaped groove appeared on the side of the stone. The cross-section of the black stone skin was clearly visible. The cross-section of this layer was about seven millimeters thick, and the color ranged from dark black to dark brown to yellow brown and finally to dark yellow, forming a complete color transition zone. The old man took out a strong flashlight and shone it on the yellow groove. The yellow inside was delicate and dense, warm and smooth. The fine lines of radish-like patterns were vaguely seen inside the stone muscles, and the blood-shaped red plaids intersected. The colors were thick on the outside but gradually faded in the inside. The appearance and inner quality were completely in line with the unique characteristics of Tianhuangshi.
"Yes." The old man nodded and said, "If the openings on the other three sides could be as clear and complete as this one, I could make the value of this stone more than 6 million."
Chen Yan and Liu Shunan, who had assembled the cutting machine, walked in. When they heard Fan Chengru's words, they immediately came over to check and spoke. After Liu Shunan finished reading, he touched his chin and said, "It's Tian Huangshi, but if the stone skin is so thick, wouldn't the diameter of the whole stone be reduced by about two centimeters."
Fan Chengru shook his head and said, "Shunan, you are too conservative."
Liu Shunan, who was in his forties, was said to be conservative by an old man in his seventies. He touched his scalp embarrassedly and said, "I mean, the thinner the stone skin, the thicker the field yellow?"
Fan Chengru said: "You are still young, and you should learn more about Western sculpture. Only when the stone skin is thick can the three-dimensional sense of carving. Foreigners do this better than Chinese people. Only when the color contrast can the charm of Tianhuang fully reflect the charm of Tianhuang."
Chen Yan asked the old man: "Uncle Master, you haven't used a knife for a long time."
Fan Chengru asked back: "Have you ever seen good information in the past few years?"
"Hehe." Chen Yan said: "We are desperate for you to come out. What are your plans?"
Fan Chengru said: "This thick black stone can be cut into several color layers. Using these layers to make the scene twice the result with half the effort. This stone can be a good fortune for dragons and phoenixes."
Liu Shunan suddenly realized and said, "Then be a black dragon and a golden phoenix?"
"The son is teachable." Fan Chengru nodded and said, "The black stone skin is thick, and the entire dragon body is beautiful, and it can be as delicate as the dragon scales. Then layer the black skin, carve the mountain stone clouds and mist, and the golden part carves the phoenix. The dragon and phoenix are wrapped around the surface of the field yellow scattered by clouds and mist, and the value is doubled. It is not an exaggeration to say 6 million."
Chen Yan looked at Tang Feng and said to Fan Chengru: "Uncle Master, we will definitely give you the highest processing cost in China."
Fan Chengru waved his hand and said, "Do I want money to bring it into the coffin? However, I am not a saint, and I still can't see through the world. I have some idea of seeking fame and reputation. I want to keep money. This stone will seal the mountain and have no regrets in life."
"It depends on what you said." Chen Yan said: "Your money can be worth hundreds of thousands. Even if you don't want to keep it, we have to be shameless and beg you to keep it, right?"
"That's it." Fan Chengru said: "I'll leave a document later and take it home and study it carefully."
Chen Yan said: "Aren't you scolding us in a roundabout way? Don't say anything else, just take it back."
Tang Feng also said: "Can we still not trust you?"
Fan Chengru said, "Okay, I'll rely on my seniority and make a white strip. Let's go and see the bloodstone."
The four of them came to the yard together. Everything was arranged. The bloodstone had been mounted by a fixed arm. Chen Yan pressed the button and the saw blade of the gantry cutting machine rotated rapidly and slowly approached the stone. The unpleasant sound of the friction between the sparks and the unpleasant sound of the friction between the metal and stone was pierced by the eardrums.
The four of them waited for the final result together, and Chen Yan asked Tang Feng: "Are you sure?"
Tang Feng spread his hands and said, "Who dares to say he is sure of this?"
Chen Yan looked at the sparks of the cutting machine and said, "I started to be nervous after hearing what you said." Chen Yan put all his belongings on it, and it really hurts his confidence without any results.
Tang Feng smiled and said, "I have not been excited about Tian Huangshi yet. As long as this stone is not a waste stone, I will be satisfied."
With a "click," the stone was cut in half and the chainsaw stopped spinning.
Chen Yan ran forward quickly and pressed another button. The stone was separated and the cross-section was exposed. Chen Yan looked at the cross-section, waved his fists and said, "Damn, I won the bet!"
Liu Shunan also looked at it and said, "Well, it's not bad, it can be considered a big increase."
A concentric circle appeared on both smooth cutting surfaces, and the center of the inner circle was a delicate red color. This red gradually faded outward and eventually evolved into a bloodless Chang fossil. The only regret is that the bloodless outer ring was a bit thicker. Otherwise, this stone alone could make a fortune. Even so, the cost of 200,000 yuan was several times higher, and it was safe to make a profit.
Fan Chengru patted Chen Yan on the shoulder and said, "The second son, the beginning is good, but you can't take it lightly. If you have good things, you can only make small money. You can only make big money by opening up sales. You are not playing gambling stones, but running a business. If you want to develop steadily, you must reduce risks. It won't work to place all your hopes on gambling stones."
Tang Feng nodded. In fact, benign jewelry processing manufacturers will not participate in gambling stones. They tend to buy those clear materials that have been solved to reduce risks. Some stone gambling players can indeed gain benefits from gambling stones, but nine out of ten gamblings are lost. After all, the few people make money. They are actually taking risks for jewelry processing manufacturers. There is another interesting phenomenon. Generally, people who participate in gambling stones are people who have lost their gambling. People who make a lot of money in gambling stones are afraid to continue gambling. It is also because of this reason that Han Tang Baoye and Longbao Company did not bid for this blood stone rough stone. Their investment concept is more rational, otherwise Tang Feng would not have been able to get this stone.
Chen Yan also nodded and said, "Uncle Master is right. He should not put all the treasures on the gambling stone."
Fan Chengru said, "Okay, you can do it yourself. I am still optimistic about your cooperation. I have two young people over there, and they have good skills. I will say hello to you, hey, I'm old, I'm tired after standing for a while, so I'll go back first."
"Uncle Master, I'll send you there." Liu Shunan immediately went over to help him. He said to Chen Yan: "Then I'll leave too. I wish you a prosperous business."
Chen Yan ran into the living room and took out the piece of Tianhuangshi. The two of them took them out together. On the way back, Chen Yan said to Tang Feng: "We divide the work and cooperate, so I will start making the finished products first. Leave the store and license matters to you."
Tang Feng nodded and said, "As long as I'm leaving." Then, Tang Feng went back and took his backpack and left the Chen family.
Mentality is a very wonderful thing. Tang Feng is now relatively rich, but he is still a poor person. When he went back, he still chose the bus. Looking at the bleak autumn scenery outside the window, Tang Feng thought to himself: Autumn seems to be the season of harvest.
