1154 Growing pains
Tang Ding's decision surprised everyone.
100,000 yuan to buy a broken stone? Is this rich and capricious, or is it deliberately grandstanding?
The ancients smiled at Yun Qianjinbo, this is not a thousand gold, it is 100,000 gold. But the young man who shouted for 100,000 gold, it seems that the more than 1,000 yuan he just bought the crystal was still from a girl, and he shouted out the 100,000 gold, who paid for him?
After Tang Ding shouted out the price, the owner of the original stone workshop and his friend watched him together, waiting for him to take the money out.
"Did you bring any money?" said Dondin, turning to Anne.
"I, where do I have so much money? Even with my credit card, I can only swipe 60,000. Anne whispered. Obviously, she really can't come up with the 100,000 yuan.
100,000 yuan is not a large amount for Tang Ding, but for a person like Bai Annie who spends money when he has it, it is extremely difficult to save money.
Tang Ding thought for a while, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to the shopkeeper of the original stone shop and said, "I don't have enough money, I have a bracelet here, do you think I can exchange it with you?"
This blood jade pattern dragon bracelet was just bought by Tang Ding for 1,000 yuan from the man who pawned in the house, this is a very well-made fake whether it is carved or made, and it is still a bracelet from the Ming Dynasty.
As he spoke, Tang Ding took out the bracelet and handed it to the two of them.
The owner of the original stone workshop picked up the bracelet first, glanced back at his friend, and when he turned his head back, the surprise on his face had not yet dissipated, "This is the blood jade pattern dragon bracelet?"
This was not to ask Tang Ding, so Tang Ding did not answer. Tang Ding just quietly watched the two of them identify the bracelet.
Before, when Tang Ding asked the two of them about the stone, the man said that he wanted to give it to him, but Tang Ding refused, because the thing sent was "not in the right way", and if he sent it, he was likely to go back on the premise of knowing the situation. Therefore, Tang Ding wants to put an end to this situation, so he insists on spending money to buy it.
However, these two business bosses are also human spirits, probably because Tang Ding wants, and the price is also sky-high.
Of course, this sky-high price is equivalent to a drop in the bucket compared to the true value of this stone.
Therefore, Tang Ding remembered his blood jade bracelet.
"Blood jade bracelet? This is?" the friend of the owner of the original stone workshop took the bracelet and said in surprise, "You want to exchange this blood jade bracelet for that stone?"
"Yes. ”
After receiving Tang Ding's reply, the two bosses looked at each other again, but did not speak.
The owner of the original stone workshop received Tang Ding's affirmative reply, and just as he was about to reply, he was picked up by the person next to him, "We must first see the authenticity of this bracelet, you won't object, right?"
"Of course, of course. ”
Tang Ding's happiness was beyond the expectations of the two, they thought that Tang Ding would refuse, they instinctively thought that there was something wrong with this bracelet? But Tang Ding happily agreed, which was a manifestation of his openness in his heart.
Even if you are open-minded, you need to verify the authenticity.
The authenticity of jade can be identified from "color, transparency, uniformity, shape, knocking, and illumination". Of course, this is just some book work, and in practice, everyone has their own identification method.
The owner of the original stone workshop uses the tip of the tongue to lick the jade and the drip method, the real jade will have a slightly astringent feeling when licked with the tip of the tongue, and the fake jade does not. After licking it, he took another tea and dropped a drop on the jade, and the water droplets would appear dewdrop-like on the jade, which would not disperse for a long time.
A friend of the owner of the original stone workshop, the method of identifying jade is also very special, using the fire method. The so-called fire is not just burning jade, but asking Bai Annie for a hair, wrapping a hair strand around the bracelet, and then lighting it with a lighter, and the hair strands are real jade.
After some identification, the two agreed: This is true jade.
"This bracelet is priced at 100,000 yuan, do you think it's okay?" said Tang Ding after the appraisal.
The two bosses are both human spirits, and they have been immersed in the business for so many years, so they naturally see at a glance that Tang Ding is bound to get this stone. But they wondered, why did Don Ding have to buy this seemingly worthless stone?
But although they are curious, they will not refuse directly, let alone think of cutting the stone apart, once they open it for their own curiosity, they will not buy it unless they are crazy.
Because this is really just an ordinary stone, let them exchange a precious blood jade bracelet that can be obtained for this ordinary stone, unless the two of them are crazy.
"Okay, I agree to exchange this blood jade bracelet with you, but there is one condition. After verifying the authenticity of this blood jade bracelet, the owner of the original stone workshop couldn't think of any reason to refuse this transaction, and if he had to name one, it was his curiosity.
"You say. ”
"When you buy this stone, you have to tell me why you bought it. ”
"Yes, you can. Tang Ding happily agreed.
Tang Ding exchanged a thousand-yuan bracelet that he bought not long ago for a stone that looked useless.
Bai Annie was very strange, but she didn't ask, first, because she had confidence in Tang Ding, and second, because she really didn't have the energy to ask.
When he arrived at Pak Jewelry, Tang Ding helped Pak Annie to the office to rest. Bai Annie's father, Bai Longguo, also returned.
Bai Longguo had obviously heard his wife Zhang Aiying say that Tang Ding had just talked about this blood jade bracelet, so under Zhang Aiying's undisguised admiration for Tang Ding, he also had a good impression of Tang Ding.
Bai Longguo made tea and drank tea with Tang Ding, who put the stone he had just bought at his feet.
Zhang Aiying saw this stone, and wondered why Tang Ding came in with a stone? Bai Annie, who was resting on the side, told her mother that Tang Ding had just exchanged the blood jade bracelet for this stone.
Although Bai Annie didn't know the beauty of Tang Ding's deal, she was very confident that Tang Ding was definitely not untargeted.
"Are you saying that you just exchanged this blood jade bracelet that you bought for a thousand yuan for this broken stone?" Zhang Aiying said in surprise.
"Mom, it's not like that, they sold this stone for 100,000 yuan, and we didn't bring any money, so we only used the bracelet for 100,000 yuan in exchange for this stone. ”
"What? 100,000 to buy a stone? You're crazy, crazy. You can't be so bad if you have money. "Although Zhang Aiying is rich, but the two of them earn it one by one, and this money is not blown by the wind.
Zhang Aiying's temper was a little anxious, but Bai Longguo was much calmer, "Xiao Tang, tell me, why did you buy this stone?"
"Everyone knows that jade is worth more than stone, but why should I buy this stone, it must be because this stone is more valuable than jade, and it is much more valuable. ”
"Oh, is this stone a piece of jade wool?" Bai Longguo shook his head after speaking, "No, no, this is impossible, Yuan Chengbin's goods are experts in identifying wool, since he uses it to pad the corner of the table, it must not be a good product, Xiao Tang, are you not deceived by him? Or you go with me, I still have some friendship with that Yuan Chengbin, go back and I will help you get the bracelet out." ”
Yuan Chengbin is the owner of the original stone workshop where Tang Ding just came back. Next to Yuan Chengbin is his good friend, Ma Deli.
"Haha, no, it took me a lot of work to get it back, how can I return it. ”
As he was talking, a clerk came in, saying that someone was looking for him, and Bai Longguo opened the door to see it, saying that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and Yuan Chengbin and Ma Deli had come to visit.
Yuan Chengbin is the owner of the original stone workshop, while Ma Deli is a jade and jade broker, he is responsible for contacting the source of goods, and Yuan Chengbin has a cooperative relationship with him.
"Boss Yuan, Boss Ma, please come in. ”
Yuan Chengbin and Ma Deli came in, and when they saw Tang Ding, they also nodded to him.
After the two sat down, they didn't say much, and talked about Tang Ding's exchange of blood jade bracelets for stones just now.
"Oh, what's going on?"
"That's right, when this little brother came, I saw him face to face, and I didn't remember who it was, but after he left, I remembered, isn't this girl the daughter of your boss Bai? If I had remembered that the person who came here was a friend of your boss Bai, I couldn't ask for money for that stone, I'm sorry. This time, I came over to send this bracelet back by the way, and by the way, I asked Boss Bai for a pot of good tea. ”
It can be said that Yuan Chengbin said this to give Bailongguo a lot of face, although he said that he came by the way and begged for a pot of tea to drink, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yuan Chengbin came here on purpose.
Yuan Chengbin came over to seem to give face to Bailongguo, but in fact, as the saying goes: businessmen seek profits, Yuan Chengbin just picked up a big bargain, of course he will not let go of his cheap and throw away his cheapness.
In fact, Yuan Chengbin has long seen the relationship between Bai Annie and Bai Longguo, firstly, they look alike, and secondly, the city of Dunhuang is not big, and they are mixed in the same industry, Yuan Chengbin has also seen Bai Annie, so he is not a stranger.
The reason why Yuan Chengbin came over was that after Tang Ding left, he discussed with Madley about Tang Ding and Bai Annie's move to exchange bracelets for stones.
It stands to reason that although the daughter of the Bailong Kingdom may not be an expert in jewelry, she will not know which is more valuable, stone or blood jade.
Since he knew, why did she make a loss-making deal?
In addition, if the young man who was with Bai Annie was a stunned young man, or a person with a worrying IQ, they would not be surprised by this move, but Tang Ding's face looked calm and atmospheric, and at first glance he was a person who had seen the world, such a person may not disdain to take advantage of anything, but he will definitely not suffer such a big loss.
So, after the discussion between the two, they came to the conclusion that there must be something wrong with this stone.
And in addition, the two of them had also encountered a difficult problem before, so the two of them caught up with the door after Tang Ding left.
However, for a while, Bai Longguo couldn't think of what the two discussed, although he knew that Yuan Chengbin and Ma Deli were not easy people to stop, but he was also a little excited that the two of them could come over.
"Boss Ma is too polite, you can't come to this matter, I still want to go over and ask you face-to-face, young people are inevitably impulsive. Zhang Aiying's implication is that Tang Ding and Bai Annie have indeed been deceived.
Zhang Aiying's words, although Bai Longguo also wanted to say it, but he couldn't say it so bluntly, "Hehe, what young people do by themselves, they should know the importance of what they do." Growth always comes at a painful price. ”
