Chapter 706 Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Normal agate classification is generally divided into special level, first level, second level and third level. However, there is no particular clear thing for these levels that is qualitative and quantitative.

For example, in the description of special agate, translucent, no cracks, no sand core, no impurities and weight are relatively easy to define, but the most important aspects of color and the delicateness of the particles cannot be made very objectively.

Take the special agate as an example. The description of the color is the beautiful pattern, the pure color, bright red, blue, purple, pink, etc. As for the delicate and moisturized degree of agate meat, there are no clear regulations.

Of course, some people like to use words that are often used in identification such as "body is like condensed, with introverted essence, thick and warm quality, and firm pulse", to describe top agate, but in fact, this is still a subjective impression.

Therefore, this has caused the phenomenon of making sense when there is real judgment, which has led to the relatively vague classification of agate on the market. The so-called fine and top-quality products seem to be everywhere. Just like in the jade classification, many people artificially upgrade the ice type with better quality to glass type. For example, some people simply created high ice and ice glass type categories that were not originally available.

But as the saying goes, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods.

Li Yi had seen a rose-red southern red agate with a unit price of up to 12,000 gram at Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong before, but he felt that it was also pure rose-red, but even with the delicateness of that southern red, it seemed to be slightly worse than this one!

The weight of 5oo grams is over 12,000 yuan per gram!

Li Yi shook his head with a wry smile. He never expected that he would encounter such a top-quality agate when he first came to the market!

In fact, with his current vision, unless it is some extremely special gems, even the best glass type, Hetian jade cannot easily move him. However, such the best agate still instantly found the extraordinary passion he had when he just got the soul-tapping card.

Sure enough, no matter what form of gaining without effort, it will always be an irresistible temptation!

Carefully put away the agate rough stone worth more than 60,000 yuan, Li Yi's eyes shone, as if a person who had been hungry for three days and three nights saw a gluttonous meal. He stared at the pile of rough stones in front of him without blinking, and in a short while, he picked up three or four fine pieces of fine pieces for him.

"Lao Wu..."

Huanshi was struggling here, and the big rough stone had been cut according to his requirements, but what made Zheng Shusen depressed was that although he had cut four pieces, he still had not even cut out any decent things. Could it be that Li Yi was also a mistake?

"Oh, don't worry about him for now, ask how to sell these."

Li Yi threw the shopping basket to Zheng Shusen, and continued to stare at the pile of raw stones without looking back. Soon, he selected more than a dozen medium-quality agate for him.

"It should be almost done..."

Li Yi patted the dust on his hand and was about to turn to see Zheng Shusen bargaining, but suddenly he frowned on his head. According to the principle, there should be nothing in these piles of raw stones that he could like to see, but why did he feel like he had missed something?

While frowning, he looked at the rough stones, thinking about where this feeling came from. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he picked up a flat, narrow, agate rough stone from the pile of rough stones. Just now, he only paid attention to the color and texture, and actually forgot about the saying that there were strange stones!

There are generally two types of agate stones. One is the shape of the original stone, and the other is a natural pattern similar to the crystal stone, formed by the white patterns of the agate stone. For example, the heart lamp can actually be regarded as a relatively special ornamental red stone of the Warring States Period.

Of course, if the raw stone itself was a natural, rare and artistic shape, it would have been picked out by the boss long ago. If it was a natural pattern formed by the white patterns inside, it often had high requirements for the angle and position of the cut stone. In this way, although Li Yi could see through, he would not recognize it if he had not seen the cross section.

So he never remembered the saying of agate and strange stones.

The piece he picked out now was a strange agate stone, but because its color was very messy and its quality was just average, Li Yi just glanced and let it go. But it was just that quick glance that gave Li Yi a vague impression, which caused the feeling that something had missed just now. After a closer look, the mystery was revealed.

The color of this agate stone is very messy, and if used to make things, it will give people a feeling of uncleanness. But it is precisely because of this messy, some eat deep and some eat lighter colors that turn this agate stone into a strange stone. If you choose the right cutting position, a very beautiful natural pattern will be cut out.

Li Yi took the raw stone in front of him and slowly adjusted the focal length. Soon, he found that angle. If he cut the raw stone along a place about two centimeters thick and cut it diagonally at an angle of about 15 degrees, then a pattern that seemed to be a colored ink painting and a river will appear on the cut section!

This pattern is not only very realistic in the river water, but also very similar in shapes of the rocks and trees on the shore. There are even a few black spots on the water surface with fishing boats! From his current perspective, the entire picture seems to be painted by someone deliberately, whether it is elements or realism!

"It's so difficult now..."

Although a strange stone was found, because such strange stones need to consider the location and angle of the cut stones, even if they can see through, it is not too easy to find one. So Li Yi was embarrassed for a while and then barely defined a selection standard for himself.

First, the raw stone must be large enough, otherwise, even if the pattern is realistic, it will not make much sense. Another is that the colors must be mixed, otherwise the elements will be too single. Even if any natural patterns can be formed, they will be more popular patterns and have no great value.

After thinking about it carefully, there should be no way to narrow the scope further. Li Yi was going to use the raw stones in the yard again according to these two standards.

Soon, he found five rough stones that met these two standards. However, no matter which angle he looked in, no matter which section his sight was on, he could not get a natural pattern, which made him sigh and give up this idea.

"Add this one too."

Li Yi handed the strange stone to Zheng Shusen, asked him to bargain with the boss, and then picked up two of the large rough stone cut into five pieces, took a look and handed it to Gu Feng.

"Boss, do you charge the rest of this? If you charge, please offer a price."

"oh?"

The boss who had just offered a price and was waiting for Zheng Shusen to bargain was stunned. He walked to the big rough stone and asked:

"You just take these two pieces away and don't want the rest?"

"Haha, it's enough to leave two small pieces for souvenirs. The rest is too big to take."

The boss looked at the two raw stones in Gu Feng's hand, nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly said:

"Boss, I have a question to ask you. Why did you choose to cut stones like this, and why did you choose these two pieces as a souvenir?"

Li Yi was stunned and then laughed:

"No reason. I thought I could cut something out like this, but you also saw it. As for choosing these two pieces, I will tell you the reason, because they are small and easy to carry."

"That's how..."

The boss touched his chin and thought for a while, pointed to the rough stones that Li Yi had just selected next to him, and said:

"I know this requirement may be a bit too much, but... let's do this, my offer is 280,000 yuan for you to choose these newly selected ones, and your boss's counter-offer is 140,000 yuan. If you can tell me the real reason for choosing these two rough stones, then the deal will be made at the price you mentioned! In addition, I am willing to recycle this big rough stone at a price of 140,000 yuan, which means you can take away those rough stones without spending a penny."

Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at Li Yi's face, and then said:

"If you can't... I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't sell this batch of raw stones to you."

Li Yi was stunned. Before he could speak, Zheng Shusen had already started calling.

"What do you mean? You said it yourself. Your request was a bit too much, but you actually linked it to this transaction. This... is simply unreasonable!"

"Yes, it's a bit unreasonable. But if I can't know the real reason today, I'm afraid I'll not have a good sleep for several days! Please believe me, even if the best agate can be produced from these two rough stones, I will definitely abide by the agreement between us. Really, I just want to know the real reason why you chose these two rough stones!"

The boss did not lie, and he really didn't mean to make things difficult for Li Yi and the others. The reason why he was so persistent was because he suffered from moderate obsessive-compulsive disorder. Once he was concerned about something and could not get any results, he would feel anxious and had headaches and irritability for a long time.

However, he cannot be blamed for the current situation. The main responsibility lies with Li Yi.

At the beginning, when Li Yi asked to cut the stone along the line he drew, the boss had no special thoughts. However, when the raw stone was cut into five pieces, the boss was a little suspicious. The reason why Li Yi chose to cut this way was not because he was looking for a position to cut the rise, but because he wanted to divide the large raw stone into small pieces so that they could take away one of them.

So he has been paying attention to Li Yi, and Li Yi's actions just now happened to verify his guess. However, he has carefully looked at the two pieces and has not seen any difference, so he really hopes that Li Yi can give him an answer.

Li Yi and Zheng Shusen couldn't help but look at each other and smiled bitterly. No matter how they thought, they would never have thought that such a strange thing would happen. But, can those two rough stones be really cut open for him to see?

The answer is no. At least, before you get the batch of raw stones that Li Yi later chose, you must not reveal the answer, because no one can be sure whether the boss is telling the truth.

Li Yi knew very clearly what was in those two raw stones. For Zheng Shusen, even if he had not noticed these before, after the boss's reminder, he could definitely guess the intention of Li Yi's move.

No, this guy is really amazing to bet on stones. Since he did this, it means that there must be tricks in the two rough stones he deliberately cut off, and maybe it is the best agate!

Such a large piece of raw stone can accurately find the best agate hidden in it. So, will these small guys be confused?

If he didn't miss it, then with so many rough stones, would the other party's offer price be only 280,000? Haha, I'm afraid that even if they add more zeros in the back, they may not be able to get those rough stones!

What should I do?

Not only did Li Yi and the others feel embarrassed, but the boss is not having a good time now.

Li Yi and his friends' reactions have already shown that there are most tricks hidden in the two rough stones. If he wants to take a gamble, he can actually cut off the batch of rough stones that have not been negotiated and open it himself.

However, he really suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. If he cut off all the raw stones now, the other party would never tell him the real answer. So what he needs to measure now is whether the extra profits obtained from cutting off these raw stones are worth it. He risked the risk of obsessive-compulsive disorder to gamble this!

There is another big risk among them, that is, the young man opposite is not as he thinks, and gambling agate is also a master, and there is no different content in the two rough stones he picked up. And this possibility is very great!

Damn it! Why did he cut that way, and why did he just pick up those two pieces!

For a moment, he felt his head was about to explode...

Seeing the boss pounding his head in pain, it seemed a bit abnormal. Zheng Shusen felt that he didn't seem to want to test their attitude and intercept the batch of raw stones, as if he was really sick.

Moreover, there is also a very important point. Even if he really wants to intercept the batch of raw stones in this way, how could he know that Li Yi will definitely not misunderstand it? Has he seen Li Yi gambling stones and know Li Yi's level?

So, he decided to test it out,

"Boss, why not do this? Didn't you just say that if we tell you why you choose this way, would you agree to recycle this rough stone to offset the price of those rough stones? Then, let's just sign an agreement. This batch of rough stones belongs to us, and the cut piece belongs to you. Then, we cut both pieces together..."

While speaking, he observed the boss's expression. When he noticed the struggle in the boss's eyes, his heart suddenly sank.

This guy, maybe he has really seen Li Yi gambling stones and knows how good Li Yi gambling stones are! (To be continued.)8
