Chapter 55 : Raw material from Longtang Laokeng
After breakfast, the two of them drove straight to the bank. The Golden Shield Security Company sent two gold cups to accompany them, and the journey was peaceful. However, Xu Qing was quite interested in driving. Unfortunately, it was on the main road. Otherwise, he would really borrow Old Meng's car to have a taste. Thinking back to when he drove a hand-guided tractor in the countryside, it should not be difficult to drive an extra wheel.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Meng Shicheng got out of the car to deposit the check. Xu Qing stayed in the car and dialed Old Xue. Unexpectedly, the teacher complained that he was sleepy and made him wait for more than an hour.
Xu Qing explained for a while. He only said that he was too tired from moving stones yesterday and slept too much. He hid the fact that he participated in the gambling last night. He was still somewhat in awe of this teacher who had just met him.
At this moment, Meng Shicheng returned to the car with the check in his hand. He was carrying a few exquisite packaging bags. It turned out that he had something to give to the bank.
"Ha! Damn it, you're a billionaire now. Back then, I was still an apprentice in the jade carving workshop when I was your age. It's really irritating to compare people!"
Meng Shicheng sighed and gave Xu Qing the bank card. He started the car and drove to the trading venue.
Stall No. 56 had received a large amount of raw materials today, more than the sum of the previous two days. It seemed that Meng Shicheng had prepared beforehand.
Xu Qing saw Elder Xue hovering in front of the pile of raw materials with his hands behind his back. He quickly went forward to greet him." Teacher, do you want to choose a material?"
Old Xue turned around and smiled. He pointed to a raw material on the shelf and said," Brat, come and take a look at this raw material."
Xu Qing stepped forward to take a look. It was a rare piece of rust leather. Its entire body was golden yellow as if it was covered in a layer of burnt rust. There were also a few rust stains on its skin. At first glance, it looked like it was cracked. It looked like it was no more than 50 kilograms, but the price tag was an astonishing 1.2 million.
"This is Old Pagan's rust leather. Put a few pieces to support the facade. If you want to drag it out, just chop it off." Meng Shicheng was generous, giving away hundreds of thousands of materials.
Compared to the wealth Xu Qing had brought him in the past two days, it wouldn't matter if he gave all the raw materials here.
Xu Qing shook his head and said," Just because it looks good doesn't mean there's good jade inside. It's better to keep it and sell it to others!"
Meng Shicheng was a little dissatisfied. He said in a low voice," This piece of material is authentic. I've been hiding it for years and I can't bear to sell it. Don't breathe so much, kid."
Xu Qing smiled and pointed at the edge of the raw material." Old Meng, take a look first. What is this?"
Meng Shicheng and Elder Xue went forward at the same time. They saw a small piece of moss where their fingertips touched it. It looked like a rust stain. This moss extended radially downward, but it was blocked by a rust stain. If one did not look carefully, it would be easy to ignore it. Anyone with some experience in stone gambling knew that this moss had fatal damage to the jade in the raw material. In other words, the internal integrity of this material that performed well had been completely destroyed.
Xu Qing had already scanned the goods on the shelf. Except for a piece of green jade with a fist-sized ball in the middle, the rest were all scattered jade. The jade in front of him could not even be found with a complete ring surface. It could be said to be a typical piece of waste.
Meng Shicheng's expression changed drastically. He had a new understanding of Xu Qing's good luck. It turned out that besides luck, this kid also had a keen observation ability that surpassed ordinary people. With the combination of the two, it was no wonder that he could gamble repeatedly.
Elder Xue nodded in satisfaction. He took out a palm-sized brocade box from his pocket and threw it to Xu Qing.
When he opened it, he saw three exquisite violet pendants placed side by side. There were two Laughing Maitreya Buddha statues and a crystal clear jade leaf. Each pendant showed a sense of intelligence. The two Laughing Maitreya statues had different expressions. The smile on their faces seemed to emanate from the heart. If one looked closely, one would not be able to resist the joy.
After a long time, Xu Qing reluctantly closed the box. The smile on his face grew even thicker. From this moment on, he became interested in jade carving. How could he not be happy to be under the tutelage of a jade carving master with amazing skills?
"Kid, isn't this old man's cooking passable?" Old Xue stroked his beard and smiled. His questioning words carried a strong sense of confidence, and it sounded even more arrogant.
Xu Qing smiled and said," It's not a question of passing. I can only say that this jade has changed from a stone to a living thing when it's in your hands."
"Ha ha ha! Which teacher did you learn your flattery technique from? Make the old man happy!" Old Xue laughed loudly. He liked to hear such plain flattery.
Xu Qing smiled and said," There will be plenty of opportunities for flattery in the future. I don't mind you taking care of the food every day."
"Brat, so you're only thinking about the old man's meals!" Old Xue pretended to be bitter. He glared and said," Hurry up and choose a few good materials. I don't have so many materials for you to torture when we get to Jiang City."
"Yes, sir. Just watch!" Xu Qing's eyes lit up when he heard the selection of materials. In the future, he would definitely need a lot of materials to learn jade carving. He really had to take this opportunity to find more good materials.
"Old Meng, you stay here and chat with the teacher. I'll get someone to send over the materials." Xu Qing stuffed the brocade box in his hand into Meng Shicheng's arms and ran to the stall in front of him.
"Sigh! "This kid is a lefty guy. I don't choose a pile of materials here, but I want to run to someone else's house to do business..." Meng Shicheng sighed as he looked at Xu Qing's back and shouted that he was not good at meeting people.
Xu Qing's speed of selecting raw materials alone was astonishing. He ran to each stall and rummaged through the pile of raw materials. He ignored the half-open raw materials and picked them up. He swiped his card and sent them to stall No. 56. Basically, he didn't bargain.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and he had already chosen fifty raw materials. There were only ten stalls left to see. Meng Shicheng called to urge him. Xu Qing walked into stall 140 while answering the phone.
Perhaps it was because the location was too far away, but the raw materials here were less than half of those in other stalls. Most of them were placed on the shelves, which also provided convenience for Xu Qing to choose materials.
There were only two lazy staff members watching the stall. There was no one beside the stone disintegrator not far away. It turned out that the person in charge of stone disintegrator had gone for a walk when he saw that business was slow.
The raw materials on the shelf were not big, usually around twenty to thirty kilograms. There was not a single piece that was more than fifty kilograms. Moreover, the price was quite cheap. The most expensive one was only five hundred and one kilogram, and the cheapest one was only about three hundred. Compared to the raw materials on the shelf of stall No. 56, which cost millions, the materials here were really cheap.
" Take a look. It's a raw material from the Dragon Pond Old Pit." One yawned and sat back on his stool, dozing off, while the other didn't even look at him as if he had nothing to do with sales.
Longtang Laokeng raw materials are mainly yellow sand skin and gray fish skin, the skin shell is thicker, and the performance is not as eye-catching as black sand rust skin. While people are pursuing good raw materials, the raw materials that are not eye-catching are most easily ignored.
