Chapter 903, 904 The knife is rising
"cough……"
Huang Hao coughed lightly, looked at Li Yang, and said helplessly: "You don't need to be so anxious about practicing. Jade carving is about slow work and careful work. There is no luck at all, so it's better to be careful!"
Huang Hao's words made many people behind him agree and nod.
There is really no luck in jade carving. It is all about real skills. Whether the craftsmanship is good or not can be seen at a glance. It is not like gambling on stones. Even people who know nothing about it can still bet on gains if they are lucky.
Moreover, for jade carvers, it is a very shameful act to waste raw materials, especially better raw materials, and there should be no waste. It is honorable to save materials and do more work than others.
Huang Hao has been able to win the Twin Cities Masters in recent years, which gives him an advantage in saving materials.
With the same piece of raw material, he can make more things than others, which also increases the value of the jade raw material. This is also Hong Lao's biggest feature. Suzhou jade carving itself has a tradition of saving materials.
"Xiao Li, these are all words of experience, and Mr. Chen will tell you in the future!"
Mr. Hong said again that he didn't feel bad about Li Yang buying more than two million yuan of wool just to extract jade and practice his skills. However, Li Yang was not his disciple, so he couldn't blame him.
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately and said: "Thank you, Mr. Hong and senior brother, for reminding me, I'll note it down!"
It is not difficult for Li Yang to obtain high-end raw materials. Glass species are rare, but hibiscus species and ice species can appear in basically every major market. As long as Li Yang is willing, he can obtain these raw materials by running a few trips, so
Don't pay much attention to it.
He also failed to understand the importance other carvers placed on good raw materials. He only discovered this mistake after being reminded by Mr. Hong and Huang Hao.
Cheng Zili, Hua Tian, and Hua Zheng all had their eyes widened at this moment.
Li Yang's statement that he only bought these wool materials for practicing skills also scared them. It is true that several of them are wool merchants, but this is a jade carving base, and jade carvers waste raw materials, which is not allowed here.
Many junior apprentices practice with worthless scraps.
"Mr. Hong, Mr. Huang, do you still want to see the woolen materials here?"
The staff of the Jade Association on the side came over carefully and asked, Huang Hao has his own company, so Du Zhigui called him Boss Huang. Ordinary staff like them did not dare to call him that directly.
Mr. Hong waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I won't read it anymore!"
At this moment, he really lost interest in looking at the raw material, and so did Huang Hao. The two stone gambling experts behind him felt a little regretful, but they nodded obediently.
In their minds, the two of them were still thinking about going in to pick out some wool to compare with Li Yang, but they didn't dare to say these things out loud. If they did, they might be considered as overestimating their abilities.
After all, Li Yang's reputation is much better than theirs.
"Mr. Hong, senior brother, I'm going back too. If you don't want to watch, we'll go back together!"
Li Yang added that there was only a piece of ice material left in it, and it was still a piece of wool that was destined to collapse. Mr. Hong wanted to leave, and Li Yang had no objection.
Mr. Hong nodded and said to the two Jade Association staff: "Xiao Li and I, you can go back too, you don't have to accompany us anymore!"
Several people walked out together. Hua Tian and Hua Zheng said goodbye to Cheng Zili and quickly followed them.
Cheng Zili was alone in the back and was suffering. When word spread about this incident, his colleagues would probably laugh at him. What a great opportunity, Jade Saint Li Yang, could really get on this line, and his business would increase again.
It is possible to turn it over.
Everyone knows that Li Yang is not only a high-level stone gambler, but also a powerful mine gambler. Li Yang has a share in Myanmar's largest jadeite mine.
Catching up with Li Yang is equivalent to hooking up with General Thornton. It will be more convenient to purchase goods in the future. With the supply of goods, the business will expand, which is just a trivial matter.
It's a pity that all this is no longer possible. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he doesn't dare to make friends with Li Yang now. After all, what he just did can be said to be very unreasonable. Someone just bought his wool, and he didn't stand up to testify.
, which is tantamount to acquiescing to the frame-up by Du Yufan and his son.
"Brother, you are so awesome!"
At the end, Hua Zheng quietly extended his thumb. Hua Tian was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head in embarrassment.
He knew what Hua Zheng meant, and the guest he introduced turned out to be Jade Saint Li Yang. At this moment, the two of them were not so concerned about the benefits. They only thought about Li Yang. It would be good to stay with their idol for a while longer.
After walking out of the factory, Liu Gang waved to the Hua Zheng brothers behind him.
He was still pushing the cart in his hand. He pushed the cart over first. They bought more than two million yuan of wool. Borrowing a cart was not a problem. But the task of returning the cart would only be troublesome.
Brother, Liu Gang is not willing to come back here again.
"Ahem!"
Huang Hao suddenly coughed twice, pointed at the woolen materials on Liu Gang's cart, and asked softly: "Li Yang, since you don't intend to invest in using these woolen materials, it will be the same anytime, so why not untie them today!"
"
After saying that, Huang Hao looked at Li Yang nervously.
Not only Huang Hao, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Yang, Mr. Hong did the same.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the reputation of Li Yang are unparalleled in the world of stone betting. But no one like Li Yang has seen it with his own eyes. Everyone in the country has a tendency to gossip, even Mr. Hong.
Old timers are no exception.
"No problem!" Li Yang smiled softly and nodded immediately.
Li Yang is not stupid, he can see what these people are thinking. Mr. Hong is a senior, and Huang Hao is also his senior brother. Huang Hao took the initiative to bring it up, and it would not be good to refuse.
Just like Huang Hao said, these woolen materials must be solved sooner or later, it doesn't matter which day they are solved.
"Okay, I'll help you later!"
Huang Hao grinned widely and was a little excited. Not only him, but also the people around him who came from Suzhou. Jade Saint Li Yang, it was a blessing to see him solve the stone with your own eyes.
What's more, these wool materials were chosen by Li Yang himself, which is of even greater significance.
When the two brothers Hua Zheng and Hua Tian heard this from behind, they were also stunned for a moment, and then they became excited. Now that they can follow Li Yang, doesn't it mean that they can also see Li Yang cracking stones?
"Boss Hua!"
Li Yang suddenly waved to Hua Tian. Hua Tian was stunned again and immediately ran to Li Yang's side, looking at his idol with admiration.
"Li, Mr. Li!"
"Is there any other place around here that has a litholysis machine?"
Li Yang asked softly. In fact, there was a stone dissolving machine and two machines where they just came out, but now that they came out, Li Yang didn't want to go back.
Li Yang had just bought something, and the owner of the store just watched someone frame him up without saying a word, which violated the most basic morality. Li Yang could understand his difficulty and would not settle accounts with him, but he did not want to have anything to do with such a person.
.
This boss Cheng is not as good as Hua Zheng. Hua Zheng is a man of few words, but at least he said a few words to him just now, but no one paid him any attention.
Hua Tian's eyes widened, and he immediately nodded and shouted: "Yes, yes, there is one right next to here, very close!"
He was a smart man and understood that Li Yang was unwilling to go back, so he immediately pointed to the other side. This is the largest jade carving industry base in Jieyang, and almost every household has a stone-breaking machine.
It is not difficult for him to borrow a stone-breaking machine.
If Li Yang's name was used, these people would know that Jade Sage was going to use their stone-breaking machine to break the stone, so they would probably rush to send the stone-breaking machine. They wouldn't say anything else. Li Yang was here to break the rough material.
It's like giving them an advertisement.
Hua Tian walked in front, and Li Yang and Mr. Hong followed. Within a few minutes, they arrived at a smaller factory.
This is a small jade factory. There is only one stone-breaking machine, but this stone-breaking machine is empty. The boss is very familiar with Hua Tian. After hearing what Hua Tian said, he looked at Li Yang in disbelief. After a while,
Only then did he react.
Naturally, there was no problem in borrowing their stone-breaking machine.
The boss even went to make tea himself and brewed the best tea to entertain Li Yang and the others. Mr. Hong, Li Yang, and Huang Hao, one of the most famous masters in the domestic jade carving world, all came here, which made the boss very happy.
I was excited, just short of howling with excitement.
Mr. Hong and Huang Hao didn't care about the boss's excitement. What they were most concerned about was the pieces of wool in Li Yang's hands.
The stone dissolving machine was powered on, and people were immediately standing around.
Except for Mr. Hong and his men, the rest were workers in this factory. When they heard that Jade Sage was here to remove stones, no one had any intention of working. The boss was so happy that he simply let them all go.
Not to mention them, even the boss himself has no intention of working now.
The factory is not big, and there are not many workers. There are only about twenty people, and these people also surrounded the stone dissolving machine.
There were eight pieces of wool in the car, which was not a small amount. Li Yang hesitated and directly picked out a piece of wool.
This piece of wool is an ordinary gray leather shell. When I bought it, the unit price was 120,000 yuan. The price was relatively cheaper than the other pieces. Li Yang chose this piece first because the jadeite inside was the easiest to decipher.
This piece of wool only weighs 6.3 kilograms, but most of it is jade. The jadeite weighs as much as four or five kilograms, which makes it easier to untie.
The jadeite in this piece of wool is of the hibiscus variety, with good color and abundant water content. The jadeite is worth several million. With just this piece of wool, Li Yang can recover all his capital and still have some leftover.
"Boo!"
Li Yang didn't draw a line, fixed the wool and pressed the cutter directly. Mr. Hong nodded silently.
Mr. Hong himself is not very good at stone gambling, but his stone interpretation level is quite good and his eyesight is also very good. Li Yang's knife may seem reckless, but it is actually very delicate. It cuts at the edge and the skin is not thick.
If so, this knife can just cut off a piece of skin.
After the sound of the stone dissolving machine rang, the voices of the people around him became much softer, and everyone became more excited.
The wool was not too big, and this knife was for the edge, so it was cut quickly.
Huang Hao and Liu Gang were helping Li Yang. Huang Hao was holding a basin. As soon as the wool was separated, he poured a basin of water on it. The result of this knife was immediately displayed in front of everyone.
