"I bought it mainly to practice, and I have no plans to sell it for now." Yang Qi hesitated for a moment and spoke.
Unable to think of any good solution, Yang Qi’s only option was to completely absorb the heaven and earth essence from this batch of jade and then sell them all. This way, it would not attract the attention of anyone with ulterior motives.
"Is that so?" Shen Yuxuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "But Xiao Yang, whatever you plan to do, don't forget to inform us at the Shen Group."
"Okay, I will definitely give priority to selling it to Shen's when the time comes." Yang Qi nodded.
He had estimated the value of the jadeite in his hands, and it was definitely around 30 million, which was not a small amount. It was impossible for an ordinary small jewelry company to come up with so much working capital at once.
In the early morning, Yang Qi and his party returned to Qingzhou. Yang Qi wanted to ask Shen Yuxuan about purchasing a stone-cutting machine. After all, the jade in his hand was of great value. If it was cut by Shen's, Shen Yuxuan would probably want to buy it first.
As for the villa that Yang Qi is currently renting, he doesn't have to worry about the noise of the stone-cutter affecting the surroundings.
Shen's Jewelry has its own stone-cutting machine, and there is also a spare one. When Yang Qi asked, Shen Yuxuan directly sold it to him as a favor. This stone-cutting machine is not cheap, costing a full 600,000 yuan. This is because Shen Yuxuan did not charge more, otherwise the normal market price would be around 800,000 yuan.
After returning to his residence, Yang Qi began to practice until the afternoon, when Shen Yuxuan sent someone to deliver the stone breaker and completed the installation and debugging. Fortunately, the villa area was wide, and the stone breaker was not too noisy when it was turned on. If it was a clean room or an elevator room, his stone breaker would not be able to use it at all.
"It seems that when buying a house in the future, I can only choose a villa." Yang Qi smiled bitterly.
Because of its grounding, the villa's natural energy is obviously richer than that of a popular apartment, and it can also solve the problem of stone breaking, which is killing two birds with one stone.
However, villas are not cheap. If you want to find a place with good environment and supporting facilities, the price will be even higher. Even though Yang Qi has about 30 million yuan in his hand now, it may not be enough to buy a villa.
Zhao Yixin was not in the villa, probably because she had a flight mission. Yang Qi practiced until the next morning, then drove to Shen's Jewelry to meet Master Chen to carve the blood jade bead.
"Xiao Yang, this is the chief engraver of our Shen's Jewelry, Chen Zhengyuan, Master Chen." Shen Yuxuan said.
Chen Zhengyuan looked at Yang Qi, nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "This is Yang Qi, Consultant Yang? I have heard your name mentioned by many old friends in the past two days."
Yang Qi's experience at the Guangdong East Gambling Stone Exhibition had already spread throughout the jade industry. Everyone knew Yang Qi's name. Chen Zhengyuan had also heard a lot about Yang Qi in the past few days, but this was the first time he had seen Yang Qi in person.
"Mr. Chen, you are too kind." Yang Qi said hurriedly. Chen Zhengyuan is a carving master. Those who can be called masters are those who have made great achievements in their own field, not those who rely on cheating in gambling on stones like him.
"This time, I invited Master Chen here to ask for help in carving a birthday gift." As Yang Qi spoke, he took out the blood jade bead.
"Blood Jade Dzi Bead, it's actually Blood Jade Dzi Bead!" Chen Zhengyuan immediately became excited when he saw the bead.
Blood Jade Dzi Bead
Hearing this, Shen Yuxuan and Yang Qi were both stunned, looking at Chen Zhengyuan in confusion, isn't this a blood jade bead? How did it become a blood jade bead
"It's normal that you don't know. In fact, very few people know about the Blood Jade Dzi Bead. I have only seen records about it in the classics left by my ancestors." Chen Zhengyuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the two of them were stunned.
“Blood jade is rare, and blood jade beads are even more so. However, blood jade dzi beads are the best among them. They can be said to be like glass-type imperial green.” Chen Zhengyuan said.
"It is said that the Blood Jade Dzi Bead can prolong life, but I don't know whether it is true or not." Chen Zhengyuan carefully took the Blood Jade Dzi Bead and said with emotion.
"Prolong life? I'm afraid it's true." Yang Qi nodded secretly in his heart. This blood jade bead does have the effect of prolonging life. However, it is not very helpful for normal people. On the contrary, it is much more helpful for those with injuries.
“It is worthy of being called the Blood Jade Dzi Bead. It is recorded in historical records that when one holds the Blood Jade Dzi Bead, it is like a clear stream flowing into one’s heart.” Chen Zhengyuan said, holding the Blood Jade Dzi Bead.
"How can it be so magical? Isn't it just a piece of cold jade?" Shen Yuxuan said with some disapproval.
Shen Yuxuan was at the time of her life when her vitality was at its peak, so naturally the Blood Jade Dzi Bead had little effect on her. However, Chen Zhengyuan was estimated to be in his sixties, so the effect of the Blood Jade Dzi Bead would be more obvious to him.
"Uh~" Chen Zhengyuan was stunned when he heard this and could only smile bitterly.
"I wonder what kind of object Mr. Yang plans to carve?" Chen Zhengyuan looked at Yang Qi and asked.
"I don't know either. I'm not very clear about these things, but this is a gift for an elder's 80th birthday." Yang Qi said.
"Eighty years old?" Chen Zhengyuan was stunned, then said, "I have an idea. If this blood jade bead is carved on a large scale, it would be a bit of a waste. It would be better to carve a birthday star on its surface and make it into a wrist bead."
"That's great." Yang Qi nodded. This Blood Jade Bead must be worn for a long time to be useful. However, since there is only one bead, it is obviously not suitable to make it into a bracelet. It is not suitable to make it into a necklace pendant for Qin Lao's age. It is more suitable to make it into a bead to wear on the injured wrist.
Yang Qi was very satisfied with Chen Zhengyuan's arrangement and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Chen, what is the price of this engraving?"
Chen Zhengyuan is a master of carving, and he carved it himself, so the price is naturally not low. However, in order not to waste the blood jade beads, he can only feel at ease if a master like Chen Zhengyuan comes forward.
“Even a master sculptor may not have the opportunity to carve a blood jade bead like this in his lifetime. It is a great honor to be able to carve it. I won’t charge you this time.” Chen Zhengyuan said with a smile.
"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Chen." Yang Qi said gratefully. He did not insist on giving money to Mr. Chen because he could see that Mr. Chen really did not care about money. Carving blood jadeite dzi beads was his real wish.
"I wonder how long it will take to complete the carving?" Yang Qi asked. According to what Old Qin had told him, in four days it would be Old Qin's 80th birthday. If he couldn't finish it in time, it would be meaningless.
"At the fastest it will take one day, at the slowest it will take three days." Chen Zhengyuan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"That's the best." Yang Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that.
The two chatted for a while about the carving of the Blood Jade Bead. Chen Zhengyuan left Shen Yuxuan's office soon because he had to think about the carving. For a while, only Shen Yuxuan and Yang Qi were left in the office, and the whole office seemed silent. (To be continued)
