Chapter 377 Teaching

"This... is the jade public auction here?"

After entering the mushroom shed building, Fang Yi looked around and saw that the ground of tens of thousands of square meters was neatly arranged into several areas. There were many stones on each row of ground. Fang Yi roughly estimated that at least there were tens of thousands of yuan, which looked spectacular at first glance.

There are many staff members wearing red vests in this venue, almost every ten meters. These people are not afraid of someone stealing the raw stones, but are responsible for supervising the people who are looking for goods so that they will not damage these materials during the identification.

"Yes, the stones placed on the ground are all jadeite rough stones..."

Yu Xuan nodded and said, "Fang Yi, don't look at the ugly appearance of these stones. After they leave here, they will be broken down into pieces of good jade, and then polished into jewelry to appear in the jewelry store..."

Every time Yu Xuan comes to the venue of the Myanmar Jade Public Market, he feels very good, because such a big scene can only appear in Myanmar, the origin of jade. For example, a few domestic public markets are much smaller than this scene.

"It's not easy to see all the stones in three days..."

Fang Yi looked at it and almost all the raw stone wool materials of different sizes were all visible. Compared to this huge space, the jade dealers who came in first seemed to be rare. Fang Yi carefully observed that there were only forty or fifty people in this venue of tens of thousands of square meters.

Moreover, Fang Yi and the others came late. Everyone who came in earlier had already gone deep into the venue. There were only four of them standing at the entrance, which made the venue increasingly empty.

"Uncle Yu, where should we start?" Chen Kai is good at doing business, but he knows nothing about the identification of jadeite rough stones, so he can only place all his hopes on Yu Xuan.

"Where to start? Let's go..."

Yu Xuan smiled and pointed at Chen Kai and said, "You kid just don't learn anything. Let you learn the knowledge of jade identification. If you don't learn it, otherwise you can help me share some work. After seeing these tens of thousands of stones, I will have to remove half of my life..."

Chen Kai is here to stock up on raw materials this time, which means that he needs to buy some high, medium and low-end jadeite rough stones, and it must be mainly medium and low-end.

In this way, Yu Xuan will have a much greater workload, because as far as the entire public market is concerned, the most medium and low-end materials are available. Compared with the invitations he received before, he only needs to identify high-end raw stone wool materials, Chen Kai's job is undoubtedly a chore.

"Teacher, aren't these materials all jadeite..."

Following Yu Xuan to a stone the size of a millstone, Fang Yi couldn't help but scream because he found that the stone that was cut smoothly like a mirror surface showed a lot of green spots.

"It's jade, but the texture is too poor..."

Yu Xuan squatted down, pointed to the smooth surface, and said, "You see, although there is green here, the distribution is very scattered and the color is not right. More importantly, the light cannot penetrate, which means that the water quality is very poor. For jade like this, you can only make souvenirs at tourist attractions that cost a few dollars at most..."

Yu Xuan's status in the world of antiques and miscellaneous items and jade identification is definitely not a blow. When he identified jade, he not only could distinguish the quality of jade, but also, while appraising it, Yu Xuan could also roughly infer the value of this jade after it was made into an ornament based on the quality of the jade.

Yu Xuan knew that Fang Yi had too little jade, so he wanted to teach him on the spot, so he stayed next to these raw stones that he didn't even like at all, and explained the advantages and disadvantages of these raw stones one by one to Fang Yi.

There was a famous teacher on-site guidance, and Fang Yi had also learned some theoretical knowledge of jadeite raw stones. These were originally like the same raw stones at first, and they also had different colors in Fang Yi's eyes. He was holding a flashlight bought by Chen Kaigang in his hand. Fang Yi followed Yu Xuan with relish.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the tricks. Fang Yi just watched the excitement, but now he has seen some tricks.

After looking for a while, Fang Yi found that most of the materials placed at the door were of poor quality, and the price on the trump card in front of the material was also very low. There was a piece of raw stone that was 200 to 300 kilograms, and the trump card was only a few hundred dollars.

"Uncle Yu, if we look at it like this, we won't be able to see much material in these three days..."

Yu Xuan took Fang Yi to look over slowly. They were both excited to teach and learn from both masters and apprentices, but Chen Kai couldn't stand it anymore. It's been an hour, and there were only less than twenty pieces of materials in total. At this speed, there were tens of thousands of raw stones in the whole field. They would not have been watching for a month or two. At that time, the public market would probably have ended long ago.

"Okay, I'm a disciple, you're not happy for now..." Yu Xuan glared at Chen Kai angrily. If Yu Xuan really made a little bit of it in his heart, he would definitely put the teaching Fang Yi first.

"Teacher, I already know the quality of jadeite raw stone wool. The material here is too bad. Let's go and see a slightly better one..."

Fang Yi was a little embarrassed when he heard Chen Kai's words. After all, he spent a lot of money to invite Yu Xuan to come and help identify and purchase the raw stones. Even if he studied by himself, he could not delay other people's business.

Moreover, Fang Yi has a little bit of knowledge about jade now. He knows that there are two main factors that determine the quality and price of jade. One is the quality of jade, and the second is the color of jade.

Although the type of jade is read together, it is two related but different concepts. The so-called type refers to the purity of jade, which is the size of crystal particles in the internal structure of jade. The smaller the particles, the higher the density, the better the type.

The industry usually divides the seeds into glass, ice, egg white, glutinous, horse teeth, beans and other different types. Below the beans, there is also a type called dried green, but such jade is almost the same as stones, and basically no one will buy them.

The raw stones that Yu Xuan and Fang Yi looked at were mostly bean and horse teeth. Many of them were gray-white base and simple tones, and mixed with some light green and brown colors. The overall transparency was very poor, so they could only make some low-end jewelry.

As for the water head of jade, it refers to the transparency of jade. Generally speaking, jade with good quality heads will also be very good, so water heads will often be put forward together. Of course, there are also jade with good quality heads but poor water heads, and such materials will usually not be very valuable.

According to Yu Xuan, the quality and value of jade directly determine the quality and value of jadeite, and their prices may be 1,000 times or even more. If the quality and water are not good, even if it is full green jadeite, its color will be dull and monotonous and cannot be sold at a high price.

Fang Yi had just looked at the lowest grade of raw stones. Most of these raw stones were cut in half, which was very intuitive to see. Fang Yi now wants to see materials with a slightly higher quality, so he doesn't want to stay at these low grade wool materials.

"Well? You just look at these pieces of materials and dare you say you understand the quality of jade?"

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Yu Xuan showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He pointed to a piece of material under his feet and said, "Look at what kind of water this piece is? If you are right, I will take you to another area..."

Since Yu Xuan agreed to help Chen Kai purchase goods, he would naturally not delay the serious business, but he also planned to use the day to teach Fang Yi first, but Fang Yi's words just now made Yu Xuan feel that he was a little unsteady.

"This material?"

Fang Yi did not feel that the teacher was in a bad mood, but focused his attention on the wool around him. This was also a gray-white rough stone, weighing about 300 kilograms, and there were some green spots mixed on the cut surface. Fang Yi squatted down and put a strong flashlight on the cut surface of the raw stone and observed it carefully.

"It's like a horse tooth, but how does it give people a jelly feeling?"

Fang Yi's eyesight is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Through the light of the strong flashlight, he found that although the performance of this material on the cut surface was not very good, it gave people a glutinous feeling about two centimeters in it.

"This is a glutinous material..." Fang Yi suddenly popped up this term in his mind, and he couldn't help but say it out.

"Hmm? You read the glutinous material right?"
