Chapter 746: Meet the Jade
Tang Yin and the others soon came to Hu Honghao's jewelry store, which is a relatively high-grade jewelry store, occupying the first and second floors of the street.
"Manager Pan, you bring a piece of jewelry made of jadeite, remember, the important thing is the type of jadeite, not the type of jewelry, and the type and grade of jadeite cannot be the same!"
At the same time, he asked people to go to the treasury and take out some jadeite raw materials.
Soon, in Hu Honghao's office, on his wide desk, there were different jadeites.
"The jewelry and jadeite raw materials on the table basically include all kinds of jadeite!" Hu Honghao introduced to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin picked up each kind of jadeite and looked at it carefully.
The important thing is not to be familiar with the characteristics of jadeite, but to keep the characteristics of each jadeite treasure and keep it firmly in mind.
Hey?
Tang Yin picked up a piece of ice jade, which was a raw material for making bracelets, and it didn't feel right when he held it in his hand.
The jadeite of the ice species, the treasure qi should be of high purity.
And the boxwood green ice seed jade that Tang Yin held in his hand was much thinner, barely about the same as the glutinous rice seed.
"Did you choose this piece of jade?" Tang Yin pushed the material in front of Hu Honghao.
"It's not me, it's Manager Pan who is responsible for purchasing a batch of jadeite, how can there be a problem?" Tang Yin deliberately picked it out, making Hu Honghao realize that it was unusual.
"If my guess is correct, this is a piece of treated jade!" Tang Yin confidently pointed out the problem.
He found that the treasure on the jadeite is only related to the natural state of the jadeite, even if it is processed by artificial means, it seems that the quality of the jadeite has improved, and the treasure will not be improved, but may be downgraded.
And the Huangyang Green Ice Seed Jade picked out by Tang Yin, judging by the standard displayed by the treasure qi, should be a glutinous seed itself.
After special treatment, it seems that the quality has been improved.
"Handled?" Hearing Tang Yin's words, Hu Honghao suddenly paid attention to it, and immediately took his strong flashlight.
He is an expert in jadeite, and he has a lot of experience in jadeite identification, and after some careful inspection, his brows furrowed.
"It's a very clever processing method, which has never been encountered before, and it should be the latest manual processing method!" Hu Honghao concluded.
There is indeed a problem with jadeite, which has been dealt with by special means.
Judging from the characteristics, it is not any kind of method that he is familiar with, and the characteristics after processing it are extremely inconspicuous, and he has actually been deceived.
If it weren't for Tang Yin's reminder, this batch of jadeite would have been processed into bracelets and sold in the store a few days later.
In case a problem is discovered by a customer, he is in big trouble.
After all, this kind of bracelet made of boxwood green jadeite is worth more than one million dollars, and the people who buy it are not ordinary people.
Once you find out that you have been deceived, it is not so easy to settle.
"Manager Pan, are you responsible for purchasing this batch of jadeite?" Tang Yin called Manager Pan over with a phone call.
Manager Pan is one of his henchmen.
He doesn't come to the store often, so the day-to-day operation of this jewelry store is basically the responsibility of Manager Pan.
It would not be a trivial matter if Manager Pan had a problem, but after calling Manager Pan again, Hu Honghao had a smile on his face.
It's as if nothing happened.
"Yes, this batch of jadeite was purchased three days ago, and it was approved by you at that time!" Manager Pan should not have him.
Because Hu Honghao has always trusted him very much, he comes to the store two or three times a month on average, and every time he comes, he simply asks.
"Which one did you buy it from this time?"
"I purchased it from Zhouji!"
"Zhou Ji, but we have been working with each other for a long time!" Hu Honghao nodded, he has been cooperating with Zhou Ji since he started his jewelry business.
All kinds of jadeite raw materials, there has never been a problem.
Tang Yin had also finished reading various kinds of jadeite at this time, and he was familiar with the characteristics of the treasure by heart, and he was watching the excitement.
Looking at Hu Honghao's performance, he knew that he suspected that Manager Pan had a problem, and now he was asking on the side.
"This piece of jade, are you sure you took it from Zhou Ji?" asked back and forth, Hu Honghao was a little impatient, and he didn't plan to continue circling.
He pointed out to Tang Yin to him, and after he identified the problematic jade, he pushed it in front of Manager Pan.
Swish!
Manager Pan's face suddenly turned a little pale.
It was too sudden, I thought it was a normal routine business inquiry, but I didn't expect to suddenly ask this piece of jade.
"Yes!"
"I know Zhou Ji very well, do you want me to confirm?" Hu Honghao snorted coldly, he had already decided that Manager Pan had a problem.
Zhou Ji is one of the largest jadeite suppliers in Huaxia, and the possibility of problems is extremely small, so in his opinion, there will be no problems.
Since it wasn't Zhou Ji who had a problem, it was a problem with the handler, and only Manager Pan had access to the purchase of jade.
It just so happens that Manager Pan also has the key to the safe, and as long as he finds an excuse casually, he can open the safe and have the ability to commit crimes.
"Boss, I was wronged, I really didn't adjust the contract......"
"Did I say you dropped the bag?" Hearing Manager Pan's words, Hu Honghao smiled, this is simply a self-confession.
He didn't say what the problem was, and Manager Pan said that he didn't drop the bag.
Manager Pan was about to cry when he heard this, with his IQ, he would not make such a low-level mistake, the problem was that he was weak-hearted, scared, and a little confused for a while, so he would make a low-level mistake in a panic.
"Boss, please let me go, I have worked hard with you for so many years......" Manager Pan knelt down directly.
When Hu Honghao asked him everything, it turned out that he was addicted to gambling, and once he became addicted, even hundreds of millions of fortunes would be lost.
What's more, he is just a high-level worker, his savings are gone after a long time, and he still owes a butt of loan sharks.
When I had no choice, I hit the idea on the jadeite in the store, because jadeite is very valuable.
So he did everything possible to get a piece of treated glutinous jadeite, which looked like an ice seed on the outside, and replaced it with a real ice jade.
As soon as he changed hands, he made nearly fifty percent of the difference.
After the police took Manager Pan away, Hu Honghao sighed.
"Brother Tang, thank you so much, if you hadn't discovered it in advance, once it was processed into finished products and sold to customers, my jewelry store would be in big trouble!" Hu Honghao solemnly thanked Tang Yin.
It may take years, if not decades, to put up a sign.
But to smash a brand, overnight is enough, a low-quality bracelet is enough.
After thanking Tang Yin, Hu Honghao received a phone call, and then looked at Tang Yin with strange eyes.
"You promised Bai Zisheng to gamble on stones?"
"How do you know?" Tang Yin was a little surprised.
He promised Bai Zisheng to gamble on stones, and it has only been three or four hours until now, and he has not told anyone else.
"It's the news released by Bai Zisheng, he said that tomorrow I will compete with you on Jewelry Street, please go and testify!"
"No wonder!" Tang Yin finally knew how the news spread.
Bai Zisheng, as the Jade King of the Demon Capital, naturally has a lot of people paying attention to him, and it is normal for him to announce that he is going to gamble with Tang Yin, and it will spread throughout the entire circle as quickly as possible.
What's more, now that online media is developed, many people have their own Weibo and other public accounts, and people like Bai Zisheng must be a big V, and everyone sees it as soon as he posts a message on Weibo.
"I said what do you think, how can you promise him?" Seeing Tang Yin's disapproving appearance, Hu Honghao was anxious.
Bai Zisheng became the Jade King of the Demon Capital, not in vain, but with his true skills, he broke through little by little, and he was killed by real swords and real guns.
Becoming the Jade King of the Demon Capital is stepping on the throne of countless people.
And Tang Yin, as a pure novice, even if he was lucky to win last time, there is no guarantee that his luck will be good tomorrow, let alone that he will win.
"Don't worry, I know it!"
"You, I don't even know what to say about you!"
When Tang Yin was in Hu Honghao's jewelry store, Bai Zisheng and Jia Xuhan were in the villa, in the underground warehouse to be exact.
"What are you doing?" Bai Zisheng asked Jia Xuhan.
"Do you see any difference in this jadeite rough?" Jia Xuhan hugged a piece of jadeite rough, which was slightly larger than his fist.
Bai Zisheng took a closer look and naturally analyzed the characteristics.
"Stop, I didn't let you analyze whether there is jade inside, I asked you to look at the appearance, is there any difference?" Jia Xuhan immediately stopped.
"What's the difference in appearance?" Bai Zisheng was a little inexplicable, but he knew that Jia Xuhan must have something to say, so he carefully observed his appearance.
From the outside, there is no difference.
"Come and see!" Jia Xuhan took a hammer.
Then it was knocked on the jadeite rough, and it was soon knocked open.
"Is this pasted?" After knocking the jadeite rough open, Bai Zisheng finally found that something was wrong, and the jadeite rough that was smashed open appeared with a cut plane.
Obviously, this effect will not be achieved by smashing it with a hammer.
"You're right, Xiao Chu, come here!" Jia Xuhan called someone over.
"Xiao Chu is a well-known imitation expert, and the high imitation it produces can be fake, just like the jadeite rough you saw just now, cut it down and paste it on, after Xiao Chu's processing, no one can find that it has been cut!" Jia Xuhan explained.
"What do you mean?"
"My meaning is very simple, I know that you have a lot of high-quality jadeite rough stones, you cut them all now, if you cut out the precious jadeite, let Xiao Chu help, paste the cut part back, and use it in tomorrow's competition!" Jia Xuhan said his thoughts.
"This, isn't this cheating?"
"If you don't cheat, can you win?"
"Of course I can win, you have also read Tang Yin's investigation materials, he is simply a layman who gambles on stones, and I am the Jade King of the Demon Capital, of course I can win him!" Bai Zisheng said confidently.
"It's good to have faith, but we want to be foolproof, are you sure you won't suffer a waterloo like last time?"
"I ......" Hearing Jia Xuhan's rhetorical question, Bai Zisheng hesitated.
He's confident in his abilities, but he can't do it if he promises to win.
Gambling stones are a complex of skill and luck.
There are some jadeite rough stones, the external characteristics are inconsistent with the internal jadeite, and no one can do anything about this kind of jadeite.
"If you let Xiao Chu help, you will definitely win tomorrow, if you don't let Xiao Chu help, you may lose tomorrow, make a choice now, do you want Xiao Chu to help?" Seeing that Bai Zisheng was still hesitating, Jia Xuhan gave an ultimatum.
