Happy Tycoon
Chapter 245: Howling
But if you want to open this mechanism, you need to move a little bit.
This mechanism is very delicate. The control point of the mechanism is at the tip of the tail of the monkey-like statue at the bottom of the totem pole. From the perspective of the sky’s eye, the tip of the monkey’s tail is movable. Just turn the tip of the tail. Rotate 18o in a clockwise direction, and then press down again to open this mechanism, allowing the baby hidden in the hollow space below the totem pole to emerge from the bottom of the totem pole.
However, if you want to turn the tip of the monkey's tail, you need to pull out a wooden wedge that is not much thicker than a ballpoint pen refill. Unless this wooden wedge is pulled out, the tip of the monkey's tail cannot be turned at all.
This wooden wedge is very thin, deeply inserted into the totem pole, and the exposed part has been completely integrated with the carved traces of the monkey's tail, and there is a patina, which is difficult to see even if you look closely.
If it weren't for the ability to see through, Yang Jing wouldn't be able to spot this wooden wedge anyway.
Seeing Yang Jing let out a sigh of relief and straightened up, the fat man leaned forward and asked, "Lao Yang, how is it, what happened?"
Yang Jing nodded and said, "This totem pole is really not simple. There is an extremely sophisticated mechanism inside. I searched for a long time before I found the key to this mechanism."
"Wow, could this totem pole be transformed into a Fabergé egg by the Russian?" Lin Dan said excitedly.
Yang Jing smiled and shook his head and said: "This totem pole is definitely not comparable to the Faberge egg, but in terms of the sophistication of this mechanism, I guess it is not much worse than the Faberge egg."
The Faberge egg is a national treasure of Russia, and it is also famous all over the world. In addition to the exquisite craftsmanship of this kind of egg, the most amazing thing is the exquisite mechanism.
Yang Jing said that the mechanism in this totem pole is not inferior to the mechanism of Faberge egg, which is enough to show the ingenuity of this mechanism.
"Fatty, find me some tools, awl, wallpaper knife, tweezers, I'd better find another magnifying glass..."
The fat man murmured and walked out, and in a short while, he took a pack of tools and walked in.
Yang Jing thanked him, and took out a piece of fine sandpaper from the bag, and began to rub it gently on the tip of the monkey's tail.
"I said Lao Yang, you just wiped this place with sandpaper, isn't this destroying the patina?" The fat man yelled when he saw Yang Jing's movements.
Yang Jing stopped the movement in his hand, raised his head and watched the fat man shook his head speechlessly and said: "Oh, fat man, I don't want to do this either! But there is no way. According to my observation, the key control point of the organ is just In this position, if the patina is not wiped off, that key point will not move at all."
The fat man spread his hands, "Well, just assume I didn't say anything just now."
Yang Jing lowered his head to work again. After a while, he picked up a sharp tweezers, and under everyone’s attention, he squeezed out a circle about two centimeters in length from the tip of the monkey’s tail and about the same thickness as a ballpoint pen core. Shaped wooden wedge.
Lin Dan asked curiously: "Brother Yang, what is this?"
Yang Jing smiled and said, "This should be a wooden wedge. With the existence of this little thing, this mechanism can't rotate like this."
As he said, Yang Jing's hand slightly hardened, and everyone saw that the tip of the tail started to turn.
Chris and the others all gave a "wow" in surprise, and Lin Dan couldn't wait to get his head in, but Yang Jing was very rude and pushed it away.
"Why are you so close? Are you nearsighted?" Yang Jing said Lin Dan angrily while turning the monkey's tail slowly.
Lin Dan smiled and said: "Brother Yang, am I not excited!"
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "You are so excited now, don't be excited and sway in a while!"
With that said, Yang Jing once again pressed his hand and slammed the monkey's tail, which had been rotated 18o clockwise, downwards. Then everyone heard a crisp "Garba" sound. The next moment, it looked like it was originally The bottom surface of the flat totem pole fell off a piece...
Yang Jing put down the tools, picked up the piece of wood that fell and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a while, he put the totem pole down again. After looking at the hole for a long time, he exclaimed: "It really is a wonderful workmanship. "
The piece of wood that fell was nearly ten centimeters long and three centimeters in diameter, and it happened to be at the center of this miniature totem pole.
This miniature totem pole is carved from manzanita logs without painting or painting. The upper end of the totem pole is carved, so the annual rings cannot be seen, and because the bottom surface is exactly a cross section, all the annual rings of the manzanita wood are just exposed.
The fallen piece of wood is located at the center of the log where the annual rings are the most concentrated, and the edge of this piece of wood coincides with one of the annual rings. If you don’t look at it carefully with a magnifying glass, it’s really hard to see it. There is a piece of wood alone.
It is estimated that no one is taking a magnifying glass to look at the annual rings in idle time, so it is unexpected that the exit of this organ is placed here.
If it weren't for Yang Jing's insightful skills, he wouldn't have thought that the exit of the organ was here.
The fat man prodded Yang Jing excitedly, "Lao Yang, look at what good things are in it! If you hide it so tightly, there must be good things!"
Lin Dan and Rix also had the same expression.
Yang Jing nodded, took out a long small hook and a flashlight from the tool bag, and put the hook in after shining with the flashlight.
When the hook caught the stuff inside and pulled it out, everyone discovered that a slender sheepskin pouch was hidden inside.
Yang Jing put down his tools, grabbed the rope around the mouth of the sheepskin bag and pulled it slightly, and the hemp rope that had long been rotten suddenly broke. Yang Jing held the mouth of the bag with his hand and turned the bag upright. Suddenly, a few shining jewels fell into Yang Jing's palm.
"I rely on..."
"Sheet..."
"Oh Maiga..."
There was a burst of howling ghosts and wolves suddenly sounded in the room, and the six people, including Fatty, all spewed their most accustomed spoken language involuntarily. Even Yang Jing was flashed by that light.
Even if he was prepared, when he saw these eight dazzling gems with his own eyes, he couldn't help but yelled "Mamma Mia!"
The smallest purple diamond of these eight gems is the size of a large quail egg, and the largest sapphire is a circle larger than a dove egg.
The most important thing is that although these eight gems are all rough, they are absolutely the best in terms of color and clarity. Once cut, they are definitely the best gems.
Those two cornflower sapphires, blue with purple, are pure and flawless, really like velvet; those two rubies are bright and dazzling, and the red ones can’t help but the blood boils; the pink diamonds are also very impressive. Can't help but look away; as for the smallest purple diamond, the rich, mysterious and noble violet color, it can almost attract people's eyes...
In contrast, although the two diamonds are not small, they are colorless rough diamonds, which are not so attractive.
These eight gems are all rough stones that have not been carved before, but even if it is a rough stone, suddenly there are eight rough stones of this size, which is enough to make people scream "Jesus Christ" and "Buddha Bodhisattva". .
When the shock and panic passed, a few people all got together, and even Chris and the others couldn't resist the charm of these eight gems.
The eyes of several people were all focused on the smallest rough purple diamond. Lin Dan asked in disbelief, "Brother Yang, is this the smallest little guy the legendary purple diamond?"
Yang Jing picked up the purple diamond, pinched it firmly with her index and middle fingers, and said with a smile: "Yes, this diamond should be the legendary purple diamond!"
Diamonds are recognized as the most valuable gemstones in the world. Among diamonds, the value of colored diamonds is higher. Among colored diamonds, the rarest one is purple diamonds.
Lin Dan said excitedly: "Brother Yang, this rough purple diamond has 20 carats, right? If it is cut out, it can be at least 10 carats, right?"
Yang Jing nodded and said, "Almost, if this rough purple diamond is cut out, there should be ten carats left!"
The fat man ate and said, "A 10-carat purple diamond, can't it be sold for 100 million?"
Lin Dan looked at Fatty contemptuously and said, "One hundred million? Fat brother, are you talking about national currency?"
The fat man blinked his eyes and asked, "Isn't 100 million national currency OK? That's more than 10 million U.S. dollars!"
Lin Dan chuckled twice, "Fat brother, you are wrong to say that! Although there was a purple diamond of less than three carats in the past two years, the purple diamond was also sold for 4 million US dollars. The price, but a three-carat purple diamond is not worthy of a ten-carat purple diamond shoe! That three-carat purple diamond can be sold for four million dollars, but it does not mean that a 10-carat purple diamond can be sold. More than ten million dollars~lightnovelpub.net~ want me to say, this purple diamond rough must be really cut, as long as it is auctioned, fifty million dollars is just the starting price!"
The fat man was startled, "50 million U.S. dollars? Isn't that more than 300 million yuan?"
Lin Dan nodded and said: "This is the lowest estimate. I remember that Sotheby's auctioned a pink diamond called Graff Pink Diamond in Geneva, Switzerland, seven or eight years ago. The pink diamond weighed nearly 25 carats. In the end, the price was over US$460,000. But the price of pink diamonds is far less than the price of purple diamonds, not to mention that our purple diamonds are top-notch in terms of color and clarity, so this purple diamond If the diamond is cut and sold, its value is definitely not lower than that of the 25-carat Graf pink diamond! It is even higher!"
When the fat man heard this, he couldn't help but patted his chest and performed a "turbulent wave" live. "My goodness, just such a small gadget can sell for 300 million yuan? My brother, you are better! Brother, I will urinate and never help my little brother. I will only serve you in the future. ....."
