Chapter 66: Another Encounter with the Glass Type (2)

  The disappointment wasn't that the piece of fabric had failed, but rather its value, which was calculated by the anomaly to be around 20 million. Such a good performance, yet it yielded this result, leaving Chu Chen feeling disappointed. What he wanted to know most now was why this happened, so he carefully observed again.

  However, after observing for half a day, I didn't find any place that was not up to par. Since that's the case, Chu Chen won't bother to nitpick anymore. After all, it's impossible to judge everything just by appearance within the wool industry. If that were the case, why would they say "even gods can't tell good jade"?

  However, when he was about to go and choose other fabrics, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and then he carefully examined the python print again. After finishing, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, thinking to himself that he still wasn't good at using it flexibly.

  Just now, I said that there are pine flowers on the python's back, so it must have color. And the spring color of the pine flower is indeed a rare purple violet. It should be very good, but who made the python's back show a greenish color?

  This spring is sandwiched with green, but both colors will penetrate, and the jade that opens can only be used as a carving piece. The value doesn't need to be said, it must be greatly discounted.

  Of course, this is just Chu Chen's speculation, and the specifics will only be known after it's opened. However, based on the ability to judge, this possibility is still very high. In any case, this piece of wool won't lose money, it's just that there won't be much profit.

  It's time to get down to business, but looking at the many impressive gambling stones around him, Chu Chen let out a sigh and felt somewhat at a loss. Fortunately, he now had Bao Jue to rely on, so he roughly sifted through them first.

  It turned out that Hou Yuanming or his father's vision was indeed good, and more than half of the jade wool in this batch had a reaction from Baojue, which suddenly made Chu Chen excitedly rub his hands together, with a sense of doing something big.

  However, there were dozens of Baojue that had reactions, and today's heteropathy could only be used four times. If you want to try one by one, it is definitely unrealistic. So Chu Xuan first picked some that looked better.

  Looks good and Baojue has a reaction, so it's definitely not possible to bet on the rise. For example, this piece of wool fabric that Chuyan just passed by is a piece of old elephant skin from Lao Padao.

  The old elephant skin material, the surface is grayish white. The epidermis looks like it's aged and wrinkled, rough. It seems to be sand-free, but feels rough to the touch. However, the jade that opens up is generally good at the bottom, and many have a glassy bottom. In the eyes of gamblers, it is undoubtedly a hot commodity, and its value must also be considerable.

  This piece of old elephant skin has a "striped pine flower" pattern on it, and its length is also quite good. Although this is the only manifestation, but on the old elephant skin, the overall value suddenly stands out, this not very large piece of fur is worth 850,000.

  Perhaps it's because of this price that the wool fabric has been left until now, but even at this price, Chu Chen is still thrilled, after all, the old elephant skin is really attractive, and if it goes up, it will be a big rise.

  Unfortunately, the gambling stone business never has any fixed numbers. For this old elephant skin, the result was indeed big enough, but it was a big gap. Using his extraordinary ability to estimate the value of the jadeite, it turned out that it could only be worth around 5,000 to 6,000. This result made Chu Chen sigh and pat the fur, then turn around and walk away.

  Next, Chu Chen carefully selected two pieces of wool, one good and one bad. One piece of wool worth 250,000 yuan opened to reveal jade worth around 5-6 million yuan.

  And another piece of wool worth 120,000 yuan looked fine at first glance, and he couldn't find any flaws even after careful examination, but it turned out to be substandard.

  At this time, Chu Chen's heart was somewhat disappointed. He didn't expect that after using his special abilities four times, the result would be like this. He secretly thought to himself that he probably wouldn't gain much today.

  "Never mind, let's just leave one more trick up our sleeve."

  Chu Chen let out a sigh in his heart and was about to buy that small piece of woolen fabric, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw a half-woolen fabric and immediately became interested in it.

  This piece of wool is from the old field area, it's a kind of yellowish sandstone called "Tuo Sha Pi", the surface is prone to shedding sand particles, some turn white gradually, while others remain yellow or reddish-yellow. Generally, the jade varieties that come out of this material are not bad.

  This piece of peeling skin is not very large, about twenty kilograms or so, from the small window wiped out from the top of the head, it looks like a good watermelon.

  Chu Chen noticed this piece of jade because he inadvertently saw what looked like a small crack. This is a type of half-open, half-closed mouth small lattice crack, which looks like a small crack on the edge of porcelain after being slightly touched. It usually appears as a thin layer, with limited depth, and its impact on the jade depends on the location.

  This kind of fabric, Chu Chen had only encountered a few times, and once, he bought a piece of fabric with this pattern and made a small profit, so his impression was very deep. Unexpectedly, he encountered this pattern again now, and his interest was piqued.

  Chu Chen used a flashlight to illuminate the open window position, and the water head was indeed good, it's very likely that ice is coming out. The color looks pretty regular, and there are python patterns and pine flowers, but unfortunately, this piece of wool not only has a jumping cicada pattern but also has gray ringworm.

  Grey scale, as the name suggests, is a greyish scale. This scale, if scattered like scales, cannot be gambled on because it will disperse throughout the entire stone. The grey scale on this piece of wool only concentrates in one place and does not affect the python pattern and pine flowers.

  But even so, the high price of 1.08 million, combined with the bouncing porcelain and gray moth-eaten, is enough to make ordinary players hesitant.

  At this time, Chu Chen was in a dilemma, wondering whether to use his special ability or not. After all, it was the last chance today, and who knows when he might need it again. However, in the end, he decided to use it, as it was a rare opportunity, and besides, he had made money from it before, so it was worth a try.

  But Chu Chen didn't expect that the result would once again exceed his expectations, causing his heart to beat unnaturally fast in an instant, and the joyful emotions in his heart were almost uncontrollable, making the corners of his mouth slightly curl up.

  "Hou Ge, I've made my choice." Chu Chen said as he walked up to Hou Yuanming.

  "Oh? Which one are you going to choose?" Hou Yuanming asked with a smile.

  Chu Chen chose two pieces of fabric, one was the dehaired cashmere he had just looked at, and the other was not the slightly risen fabric, but the 120,000 yuan ruined fabric.

  Choosing this material, it's not that Chu Chen has too much money to spend, but he's always betting on a rise, and they're all big rises, which is really hard to justify. He's human, not a god, if he didn't cover up, others would definitely suspect him.

  The benefit of using this inferior material, apart from being able to conceal Chu Chen's low success rate in gambling, is that the material itself appears very good. Even if he loses a bet, it can only be said that he was unlucky and not that his gambling skills are questionable.

  Hou Yuanming saw Chu Chen choose that half-gambling jade and asked in surprise: "Xiao Chu, do you really want to choose? This material is not cheap, and you've seen those cracks and gray spots."

  Chu Chen smiled and said, "Hou Ge, don't worry, I know what you're saying. However, regarding these two conditions, I think they won't have a significant impact on Fei Cui. Judging from the position of the python pattern and pine flower, even if we don't bet on an increase, it should still be safe to preserve our capital."

  Seeing this, Hou Yuanming didn't persuade him much and smiled: "Alright, it's still you who has the bigger guts, Little Chu."

  When Chu Chen pushed the cart out, Wen Yuting was arguing with Li Guotang for a piece of woolen cloth, while Chu Yulan and Zhou Wenping stood by with helpless expressions.

  Walking up to them, Chu Chen asked somewhat strangely: "What's wrong with you guys?"

  Li Guodong saw his arrival, and with a sorrowful face said: "Xiao Chuan, you judge for yourself. She has already bought several pieces of woolen fabric, but this one piece of several hundred yuan worth of band-shaped Ronghua woolen fabric, she insists on buying it, and won't listen to anything."

  "What's wrong with buying a belt-shaped pin? Why can't I buy it?" Chu Chen asked in surprise.

  Wen Yuting said indignantly, "Exactly! Brother Chu also said it's better to bring a bouquet of flowers. For just a few hundred bucks, you're being so petty and stingy. Besides, I haven't even spent your money yet!"

  Li Guodong handed over the woolen fabric to Chu Chen and said, "I didn't say that the shaped pine flower pattern is bad, but this kind of fine and discontinuous shaped pine flower pattern really doesn't have much to bet on."

  Chu Chen took a look, and the fabric was indeed as he said, with poor performance of the cotton, plus the material was relatively small, there wasn't much to bet on. However, looking at Wen Yuting's determined expression, Chu Chen said:

  "Alright, you two stop arguing. As Xiao Wen said, it's not worth fighting over a few hundred yuan. However, Xiao Wen, I want to say something - Li Ge has been playing with agate for many years after all, his experience is much richer than yours. This time you can buy it out of interest, but next time you should listen more to Li Ge's opinion."

  "Besides, a few hundred yuan can be used for food and clothing, which is better than just floating on water."

  The two of them thought about it and felt that Chu Chen's words were indeed quite reasonable, so Li Guodong also said a bit more. Wen Yuting saw that Chu Chen didn't think much of the fabric either, and she began to hesitate, but after thinking about it, she still decided to buy it, who knows, maybe it would turn out to be jade.

  Seeing the two people end their dispute, the other two people on the side also let out a sigh of relief. Earlier, they had all advised the two people, but it didn't have much effect. Later, they simply didn't care anymore. Now it seems that Chu Chen's prestige among them is still higher.

  "Brother Chu, have you chosen your wool yet?" Chu Yulan asked with some curiosity.

  Chu Chen pointed at the wool in the cart and said: "Just two pieces."

  Everyone began to measure the two pieces of wool, and Chu Chen also explained the characteristics of the two pieces of wool on the side. His explanation was easy to understand, and everyone nodded in agreement as they listened.
