He just wanted to live with his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. He did not want to live with an old single man like Leng Jinpeng. The house was filled with the smell of singles.
Although Zhong Nuannuan had no problem driving, her age was a problem. Therefore, the old master got a guard to drive for them and two to accompany them. The remaining five people drove another car and followed behind.
When they arrived at the antique street, the old master and Zhong Nuannuan began to browse with great interest.
However, after browsing for less than 20 minutes, the old master began to lose interest.
Whether it was the shops or the vendors, all they sold were imitations. High-quality imitations could still be seen in some large shops, but almost all the small vendors had inferior imitations.
To the picky old man, these things were simply not pleasing to his eyes at all.
"I heard that the Ling Family brought back a new batch of raw stones from Yunzhou. In the morning, two people had already cut out something from the Ling Family's stones. Although they were all of the glutinous type, two were cut out in one morning, which means that the amount of jade is still very large."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? Many people are cutting stones at the Ling family's shop now. If they get one, they'll make a fortune. "
"Let's go and take a look."
The old master was about to leave when he suddenly heard the two people chatting by the side of the road. His eyes lit up.
Zhong Nuannuan said, "Grandpa, let's go and take a look too!"
"Okay, let's go!"
After asking around, Zhong Nuannuan brought the old master to the Ling family's shop — Ling Yun Pavilion.
This was the largest raw stone shop in the entire antique street.
It was divided into three shops: inner, middle, and outer.
The raw stones inside were high-grade raw stones, the ones in the middle were medium-grade raw stones, and the ones outside were low-grade raw stones.
They were all seed materials.
The so-called seed materials were raw materials formed in the riverbed. Because the surface had been weathered and formed a shell, one could not see what was inside. If one wanted to know if there were goods inside, one could only rely on experience to judge, which was why it was called stone gambling.
However, even gods could not cut jade, and stone gambling was like gambling with one's life. This was because no one could judge whether there were goods inside just by looking at the appearance, and there was no equipment that could detect what was inside the raw stone. Therefore, stone gambling generally lost nine out of ten times, and it could even cause people to go bankrupt.
However, once the bet was won, it would be a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold.
Therefore, even though everyone knew that they would lose nine out of ten bets, they still couldn't resist the temptation of a slim chance of winning.
Because of this, the stone gambling industry had never declined since ancient times.
After Zhong Nuannuan and the old master walked into Lingyun Pavilion, they walked toward the exhibition hall inside.
When she passed by the exhibition hall outside, she used her x-ray vision to scan the raw stones that she passed by.
With a sweep, he discovered that the largest stone in the exhibition hall was actually a whole piece of imperial jade.
Imperial Green, as the name suggested, was the best jade that could be called the emperor among the jade.
The imperial green jadeite crescent pendant on Zhong Qianqian's neck was only the size of two fingers, yet it could be sold for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. One could only imagine how rare and precious this imperial green jadeite was.
Nowadays, King Green was rarely seen on the market. Although such a large piece of King Green Jade did not reach the color of emerald, the selling price was estimated to be at least 3 to 4 billion yuan. And this was an uncarved jade. Once it was carved into a work of art and sold, a conservative estimate would be that it could be sold for 4 to 6 billion yuan.
