Chapter VI Conditions
(I wish my book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, good health and happiness for the whole family!)
"This..." Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment before answering, "You seem to have a very small air eye on the inside of the bottom edge of the double-eared bottle. The color in the mouth and the glaze on the surface are stiff, almost like it is applied directly on the fired embryo. This is the difference between it and the big cellar. Usually, the better the bonding layer, it means that the older the age, the better the appearance of this double-eared ear looks beautiful, but in fact the glaze color is not well combined with the bottom body."
Zhou Xuan's statement was barely reasonable, but Old Man Liu was still satisfied with what he wanted to ask again.
Through this short contact, Zhou Xuan knew that this old man actually had a straightforward personality. He could say anything he liked. If you don’t like, you are his own son. He ignored him and could just tell him if he touched it!
"Old Liu..." Zhou Xuan stopped Liu Qingyuan's words, "Look at Fu Ying's..."
Liu Qingyuan hummed and said, "I know you are only thinking about that... Forget it, come here!"
Walking back to the coffee table, he sat down and stretched out his hand to Fu Ying, saying, "Get it!"
Fu Ying smiled and quickly opened the bag and took out the jade from the red brocade box that was holding jade.
As the saying goes, what kind of thing you do, Liu Qingyuan couldn't move his eyes away when he fell on this piece of jade. He took it from Fu Ying's hand, turned it slowly and looked at it, and sighed while looking: "The green sun is thick, and the water is about to drip. Little girl, where did you get such a top-quality jade? Nowadays, gem green with such a good texture is rare, not small, it's really rare!"
Fu Ying pointed at Zhou Xuan with a smile and said, "Master, this jadeite was bought by Xiao Zhou in a stone gambling transaction in southern China. Hehe, Master, how much do you think he spent?"
"Oh?" Liu Qingyuan was a little surprised again, "Xiao Zhou is still very good at jade and jade? Tell me, how much did I buy it?"
Zhou Xuan smiled, stretched out his hand and opened his palm.
"Five...five million?"
Liu Qingyuan hesitated for a while before saying this number. He just heard from Fu Ying that he was bought from a gambling stone transaction. This piece of jade will never be less than 20 million according to the price of the market, but if it is still a raw stone of wool, it is probably about 5 million.
"He spent 5,000 yuan!" Fu Ying said with a smile, which made Liu Qingyuan stunned.
If you buy this piece of jade for 5,000 yuan, it can definitely be regarded as a legend in gambling stones.
Zhou Xuan said again: "Don't get me wrong. I don't understand this very much. It's just luck. Seeing those who bet on stones are all gambling. It was the first time I went to such a place with Miss Fu. I saw gambling stones for the first time. I thought I would buy a few stones to play with. I was originally buying randomly, and I threw 5,000 yuan to buy tickets for gambling stones. Haha, but I didn't expect that I would suddenly have a great fortune, just luck, luck!"
Liu Qingyuan laughed in silence. Is it really a fool who has such luck? He took a small flashlight on the shelf and turned it on and shines the light on the jade. The green color suddenly became more crystal clear. The strong light seemed to penetrate the jade and penetrate the stone several points.
Usually, the quality of jade is different from the ground, type, water head, color, etc.
Jade ground is also called ground sheet, ground seal, and foundation. The ground has a wide meaning. In addition to indicators such as texture and purity, it also contains the meaning of uniformity. Jade ground is the foundation. Jade ground requires pureness and flawlessness. The ground containing mixed ground will appear impure. This is called ground "dirty". Just like the rice paper in painting, if the foundation is not good, it is difficult to reflect a beautiful color.
The best jade grounds include glass ground, ice ground, and water ground. Among them, glass ground is the most popular. The slightly second-class ones include egg green ground, snot ground, and green water ground. The second ones are gray water ground, purple water ground, muddy water ground, fine white ground, white sand ground, gray sand ground, bean green ground, purple flower ground, blue and white land, white flower ground, porcelain land, etc. The worst ones are rough white ground, rough gray ground, dog shit land, skin-wrapped water, etc.
The type of jade depends on the texture of the original stone itself, so the type refers to the texture of jade. The closer the texture, it is usually an old ore of a very old age. The best jade is usually called the old pit type.
The best farming site is the old pit seed, followed by the glass seed, and then the ice seed. The second most water seeds, bean seeds, hibiscus seeds, horse teeth seeds, and lotus root powder seeds are not of great value to collectors.
The water head of jade refers to transparency. The more the water head, the higher the transparency, the finer the texture, without spots, no chaff, and no astringent jade is the best. The jade that Liu Qingyuan shines with flashlight, the light penetrates into the jade for several points, green and bright, warm and watery, is indeed the best jade.
Look at its color again, it is green and thick. Generally speaking, there is also a correlation between the color of jade and the head of water. If the color is very dark, the head of water will generally be affected. On the contrary, if the head of water is very good, the green will generally become more "skinny" or "transform", and sometimes it will also make the color lighter.
However, a piece of real good jade, in terms of true value, is divided into five subdivisions such as "color", "type", "water", "flaw", and "art". The color type water is the color, type and water head of jade. "flaw" refers to the stone flaw of gems. All natural gems are inevitably naturally generated. The amount of stone flaws will certainly affect the price of jade. Generally, ordinary jades have very obvious stone flaws. As long as they are not broken, flaws or patterns caused by human factors, they are normal. A piece of jade that cannot find any natural stone flaws is extremely difficult to find and cannot be found.
The true value of jadeite is the word "art". Its craftsmanship is of course an extremely important factor, but it is not unreasonable to be ranked in the last grade, because a good piece of jade must have excellent craftsmanship, and a vulgar jade must have good craftsmanship, because the operators who purchase jadeite raw ore must have extremely professional abilities. After cutting the raw ore, they decide to hand it over to the master of which level to carve it. Therefore, looking at the finished jadeite, as long as you look at the carving process of the jadeite, you can almost determine its quality.
Liu Qingyuan's craftsmanship is naturally not considered. In Chinatown, New York, everyone knows his carving skills. How many wealthy business collectors want to find him to carve one but fail. Liu Qingyuan is not short of money, nor is it for money. He only does it for people. He does not give a penny to his taste. No matter how much money he gives to others, he will not agree.
Liu Qingyuan has grown up since he was a child. He likes this stubborn girl. Today, he accidentally met Zhou Xuan, a young man, and he got the right appetite all of a sudden.
In addition, Liu Qingyuan really can't put down the jadeite in his hand. No matter how skilled a craftsman does not have equivalent gems and jade, it will be useless. If he carved it out of inferior jade, it will lose the value of his skills. Therefore, having good jade is also a great temptation for a craftsman with superb skills.
Liu Qingyuan turned off the flashlight, stroked the surface of the jade carefully, and sighed: "Old Liu hasn't seen such a good-quality jade in almost ten years. Okay, girl, you go. You come to get the goods in two months, and don't come to harass me in the middle, and there is also..."
Liu Qingyuan stared at Fu Ying and said, "I still have a condition. After the completion, you have to lend me this kid for a week. We have to talk about collections. My old Liutou has a lot of collections, so it is rare to find someone to display them!"
