Chapter 124 Belated Emerald (Subscription Request)
"Jade mine?"

Chen Jue was slightly stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly took the green shiny ore handed to him by the iron golem and took a look at it.

Then a line of MC system subtitles appeared: [Jadeite ore: rare mineral, jadeite belongs to the pyroxene family, can be refined into lower-quality jadeite, which has certain economic value. (Note: Some top-quality jadeite can be used as a substitute for [emerald] for trading.)]

"Low-quality jade? But it looks pretty." Chen Jue looked at the ore in his hand, a hint of joy on his face.

After completing the 'Chen Ping Tunnel Line' last month, he specially selected a small team of three iron golems named 'Tie Daqiang', 'Tie Erqiang' and 'Tie Shaqiang' by the system.

After receiving the order, the three men were responsible for digging in the front, one for installing torches along the way, and the other for laying the rails. They dug day and night towards the Wulou River, a tributary of the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar.

After a period of excavation, this route leading directly to Myanmar's jade mining area is almost completed.

According to feedback from the iron golems on the front line, more than 2500% of the 90-kilometer single-grid single-track high-speed line has been completed, and it will only take about a week to dig out the main production area of ​​the jade mining area.

However, he did not expect that before he even reached the high-quality mining areas controlled by the warlords, he had already found traces of [jadeite ore] along the way. This was truly beyond Chen Jue's expectations.

According to Chen Jue's estimation, the [jadeite ore] dug by Tie Daqiang and his team should be from secondary deposits.

You should know that jade mines, especially jadeite deposits, are usually divided into primary deposits and secondary deposits, which are distinguished by being called "new mines" and "old mines" in the jadeite gambling industry.

As for the bean-quality jadeite ore in Chen Jue's hand, it was most likely dug out from the original deposit.

Because it was big enough, it was knocked down with a pickaxe.

It seems very small when held in the hand, but when placed on the ground with a "dong", it reaches the standard specification of 1 cubic meter.

Generally, only primary ore deposits with a long enough mineral belt can produce large blocks of jadeite raw stones, with one stone weighing hundreds of kilograms or even several tons.

Secondary deposits, also known as "old mines", are semi-slope sedimentary deposits or riverbed sedimentary deposits. The jade encountered geological changes such as mudslides and earthquakes during the formation process, and most of the output is small seed materials.

As for judging the quality of jade, it is necessary to look at its color and the degree of transparency inside to make identification and judgment.

So Chen Jue threw this piece of [Jadeite Ore] to the Iron Golem in the Rubik's Cube Factory who had changed into the [Mechanical Engineer] skin, and asked them to use the brand new five-axis CNC water jet purchased by Shenji to accurately cut this MC-ized jadeite ore.

In Chen Jue's eyes, those so-called masters who were good at gambling on stones and processing jade materials were not as good as professional mechanical engineers at cutting and polishing!
With a processing accuracy of 10 microns and a professional high-definition CNC camera for magnification and adjustment, the machine is then loaded with a computer numerically controlled high-speed water jet to push and scrape the weathered rock away little by little from the jadeite ore.

When the large piece of green and white jade with its tofu-like texture was revealed, a look of regret appeared on Chen Jue's face.

After taking the jade material and looking at it, a line of subtitles appeared: [Bean-type jadeite: jadeite, a type of jadeite of lower quality, with certain economic value. ]

“What a pity! It’s not the Ice-type Imperial Green. Otherwise, such a large piece would be enough to trade a lot of things with [profiteers] and [breeding experts].” Chen Jue shook his head and sighed, then played with the jade ball that had been polished by a machine to look like an enlarged version of lychee flesh.

You should know that the jade water types that everyone often hears about are generally divided into four levels on the market, namely bean type, glutinous type, ice type and glass type.

There are also further classifications based on these 4 levels, which rely on marketing to sell jadeite at a better price, with 8-level water quality or even 12-level appraisal.

Each level of improvement means that the jade is more clean, with fewer cotton textures and impurities, and the corresponding price will also increase.

The imperial green jadeite, which is defaulted by the MC system as a substitute for [Emerald], must be of the top-level glass type.

This kind of bean-shaped jadeite, in addition to being sold by Chen Jue for cash, is also kept in various companies as a display or collection. So after staring at this large bean-shaped jadeite for a long time, he couldn't figure out the "jade nourishes people" that the jade merchants boasted about, so Chen Jue took out his mobile phone to take a photo of it and recorded a video.

Then I thought about it and sent it directly to Mr. Shi from Xinlong Jewelry Store and asked him, a professional, to give me an estimate of the price.

Who would have thought that as soon as the message was sent, Shi Xinlong, who had done business with Chen Jue once, immediately responded with a "!!!" and then a video call came in: "Mr. Chen! You are indeed an expert in jade! When you bought my imperial green Wu Shi Pai before, I was almost kept in the dark by you!"

"Where did you get such a large piece of material for an ornament? I haven't seen such good material for an ornament at a jade auction in several years."

Boss Shi kept expressing his feelings in the video, and asked Chen Jue to point the camera more closely so that he could see more carefully.

“Isn’t this a bean seed?”

"Can the worst quality items be valuable?" Chen Jue asked curiously.

As a complete layman, I would definitely ask more questions when a professional comes out to appreciate it.

Shi Xinlong stared at it carefully and said, "Nonsense! If it's a small piece of bean-type jadeite, it would be worth a few hundred yuan at most. But yours is different! This is a material for house decoration and feng shui improvement. It looks like it's almost at the sticky grade. The bigger the whole piece, the more valuable it is! The price is by kilogram, and it's possible to sell it for thousands or even tens of thousands per kilogram! Move the camera quickly, let me see the green side."

The more Shi Xinlong spoke, the brighter his eyes became, and he showed great fondness for this huge jade ball.

After looking around, the other party even suggested coming over to take a look.

Because the most precious treasure in the Xinlong Jewelry Store he ran had just been bought by Chen Jue and given to the old merchant.

Right now the store is in need of a Feng Shui ornament to boost the Feng Shui fortune of the jewelry business.

People who do business, especially those dealing with gold, silver and jewelry, are very superstitious.

When Chen Jue heard that this bean-type jadeite, which he looked down upon, was actually favored by Shi Xinlong, an industry expert, he became interested.

I sent the address of the Rubik's Cube factory and asked them to come and take a look.

Early the next morning, a Mercedes-Benz Maybach with a Wen C license plate and three 8s at the end of the license plate drove into the gate of the Rubik's Cube Factory. Shi Xinlong and a jade carving master he knew got out of the car and were all shocked by this square super factory!
That super building that embodies industrial aesthetics is as shocking as the Gundam standing tall on the earth.

"Sigh~"

"Mr. Shi... Mr. Shi, how much does it cost to build this factory? It's too big!" The jade carving master surnamed Li looked up at the top of the factory that towered into the rain clouds.

The standard height of 200 meters made him feel extremely small standing at the foot of the factory.

“It must be at least tens of billions! I seem to have seen this place on TikTok before, but I didn’t expect it to be the factory of Mr. Chen from Chenji!” Shi Xinlong’s eyes were uncertain. After getting off the car, he quickly put out the cigarette butt in his hand. While sighing, he straightened his clothes.

When Chen Jue came out from the small door in the corner of the factory to greet them, he led the two of them to take the elevator outside and go up to his exclusive office on the top floor of the factory.

Mr. Shi, who managed to remain calm, was immediately shocked by the furniture layout in the president's office!
"This... Mr. Chen, are these furniture made of golden nanmu?"
