Chapter 178 Acid resin?The refractive index betrays you!
"Please, he has been rubbing the surface just now, and it has worn the surface into something. It is normal to feel different from the jade bracelet."
After taking a sip of tea and rolling his eyes, the agent said calmly.
"Really?" Lin Ran smiled, "Then how do you explain these pieces of jade?"
Lin Ran picked up the imperial green and asked Yang Jianlong: "Jianlong, do you have a lighter?"
"Yes." Yang Jianlong immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran rolled his eyes: "I asked you to get a lighter!"
Yang Jianlong thought Lin Ran wanted to smoke and seemed a little embarrassed, so he immediately handed the lighter to Lin Ran.
"What do you want to do?" The agent looked confused. The treasure appraiser in front of him really didn't play according to common sense.
"The surface of your jadeite is so smooth, and the cotton is so continuous. Is it really natural?"
Lin Ran held the top of Jade between two fingers, and then pressed the lighter.
Jade has poor thermal conductivity, so he didn't worry about getting burned.
After burning on the surface for a while, the agent became furious: "Who do you think I am?"
"Who do you think you are?" Lin Ran sneered, extinguished the fire, and placed the jade on the table.
The jade that was so smooth just now now looks like a pockmarked face, with bumps and bumps everywhere.
"What's going on?" Chen Cheng is not a fool. He bought the imperial green at an A-level price just because it was of good quality.
But after being roasted with a lighter for a while, it turned out to be uneven!
Chen Cheng's expression changed suddenly, and he said coldly to the agent: "Mr. Ned, you'd better explain what's going on?"
Before this, he had trusted Ned very much, even though they had only been officially partners for a year.
But he has been buying goods from Ned on and off for six or seven years, but the quantity was not large before, and now he is buying goods from him in large quantities.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually deceived me!
The agent was speechless for a moment, speechless in surprise. He looked at Lin Ran with a fierce look: "You guy, you actually destroyed my precious jade!"
He looked like he wanted to go up and fix Lin Ran.
Lin Ran replied calmly: "Haha, Mr. Ned, you are still in the mine, don't you know what the melting point of jade is?"
If jade can be burned with just a lighter, wouldn't it be dangerous for ordinary people to carry it around?
The agent looked ugly but kept silent.
Lin Ran looked at him and said with a smile, "Let me explain it to you."
Everyone present looked extremely gloomy. They had never seen jade being burned. They had only heard of jade being burned in a fire, but I saw it with my own eyes!
Lin Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't use any special method. Jadeite is very safe to wear."
"This piece of imperial green is indeed jade, but it was not in good condition when it was unearthed."
"In order to sell it as a commodity, it will be pre-soaked in acid to corrode the impurities on the surface."
"But the impurities have been integrated with the jade, and after corrosion, they will inevitably leave traces."
"Therefore, profit-seeking businessmen will use special methods to repair and fill them, and the most commonly used one is pine resin."
"Pine resin is cheap and easy to mix with other colors, so it is often used as filler."
"After this series of processing methods, Class B jadeite has also been made into natural jadeite. Unless you are a senior jadeite merchant, you can judge it purely with the naked eye. Others really can't tell the difference between the two."
When Lin Ran spoke, there was silence in the room.
Later, Lin Ran picked up another small piece of ice jade.
"This piece of jade has obviously been washed with acid, but it may not have much roughness on the original surface, so there are no flaws."
"But, you still miscalculated one thing." Lin Ran raised the small ice jade, and through the sunlight, there was a little purple light inside.
"After being cleaned by acid, slight acid traces will be left on the surface of the jadeite. The traces are invisible to the naked eye, but light does not deceive."
"Because the refractive index has changed, this piece of jadeite will faintly reveal purple light!"
Lin Ran looked at the agent with a sneer. All the goods he gave Chen Cheng were fake: "What else do you have to say?"
The agent lowered his head.
Suddenly, he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Chen Cheng and said, "Mr. Chen Cheng, I really didn't mean to deceive you! This thing was given to me by Reed. He insisted on me doing this."
Since Lin Ran finished speaking just now, Chen Cheng has made no other moves.
He just stood there and stared at the agent silently.
The agent knelt and crawled to Chen Cheng's feet, hugged his thigh and said: "Mr. Chen, I will go back to exchange a batch of goods for you. Please don't tell this..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Cheng just looked at him expressionlessly.
Whispering one word: "Get out!"
The agent felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He knelt and crawled towards the door of the room. When he was about to climb to the door.
"Take your things and get out." Chen Cheng added in a calm tone.
The agent immediately crawled to Lin Ran, put the mahogany box in his arms, and crawled away.
After walking out of the house, I dared to stand up, and then ran away without looking back.
Lin Ran glanced at Chen Cheng. He had not said any threatening words just now, but the agent was frightened.
In this era, those who can cooperate with jade merchants in Myanmar naturally have a profound background.
There must be dedicated matchmakers in Myanmar who can deal with anyone as long as they spend money.
People like this are usually full of murderous intent!
However, during the contact between Lin Ran and Chen Cheng, he could not feel any evil aura from him.
With this kind of Qi-nurturing skills, he is worthy of being a jewelry tycoon!
After the agent left the room, Chen Cheng walked towards Lin Ran with a smile.
He patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Lin. If you hadn't exposed his conspiracy, I would have lost money on this business. I don't know how much money it was."
He wasn't gambling on stones in Liulifang. Every time he bought raw materials, he would use ten thousand units.
If he eats this batch of low-quality goods, forget about the single loss, and the impact on the brand's reputation will definitely lead to a decline in his reputation.
That is an irreparable loss.
"As expected of you, little master! I didn't see anything wrong with those jade stones at all." Chen Cheng sighed, showing regret even with his Qi-nurturing skills.
You can imagine how upset he was.
"Brother Chen, you're being humble. I just happened to deal with fake jade dealers and was tricked by them, so I understand these methods." Lin Ran replied modestly.
He gave Chen Cheng a step down. It wasn't that Chen Cheng's vision was not as good as his own, but that he had no experience of being deceived.
How could Chen Cheng not see through it? He laughed and said, "Since Brother Lin helped me stop such a big loss, I have to entertain Brother Lin for a meal tonight."
"It's better to be respectful than to obey."
Since Chen Cheng valued himself so much, he should respond. This is Lin Ran's principle of dealing with others!
