Chapter 2014: Stone Extraction

When the sun first rose the next day, the alarm clock at Zhang Feng's bedside rang, and the piercing bell was deafening, and Zhang Feng had to get up. He turned the alarm clock to the maximum last night just so that he had to wake up early today, and the auction would start at nine o'clock, and he had to get ready.

After washing everything, Zhang Feng went directly to the jade office of Ming Yuzhai, today is a special day, the manager also got up early, this time is bright, but the office is already a busy mess, countless people in and out, the manager is surrounded by a bunch of people, and he has to wait for him to sign before he can take the jade to the various auction venues.

"Let's go over! Master Lei Liu is in the vault, confirm the manager's signature to him, and he will hand over the jade to you, take it and leave quickly, there are still many people behind. A small attendant next to the manager shouted.

When Zhang Feng heard this, he nodded, he thought that the vault was not open, so he came to find the manager, and now that he knows that the vault has been opened, wouldn't it be good for him to go over directly? And the Lei Liu in the mouth of the little follower is not the person who opened the vault for him with the manager yesterday? Then he must recognize himself.

As for the signed confirmation, didn't he have a black card? So Zhang Feng glanced at the busy manager, and then turned around and went in the direction of the vault.

Yesterday, I originally wanted to explore the jade market in Jiangshi first, and then deal with those jade stones at the highest value, but the time was too rushed, although she met Zheng Qing, she also told herself that Lao Ding was this person, but he was not in Li*.

And today is the auction, if you miss today, and don't know when you can sell the jade, of course Zhang Feng can go to the black market to sell, but that kind of place has more moisture, and the possibility of being deceived is also greater, after all, Ming Yuzhai is a legitimate way, even if it is cheated, it will not be deceived too much, the key is that he can go to see an auction to estimate the market of jade in Jiangshi.

The market of jade is actually different from every place, just like when Zhang Feng was in Huashi, the most expensive jade species of jade is amber jade, because there is a lack of this kind of jade in Huashi, after all, it is rare and expensive, and amber jade has a legend in Huashi, saying that it is the ancestral jade, which is the sacred jade used by the ancestors who lived here in Huashi thousands of years ago, which can ensure longevity and health, so the amber jade in Huashi is better than that produced locally, and the foreign ones are not valuable.

Speaking of Bao Shi, Zhang Feng and his friends opened two antique jade spots there, so they also have a deep understanding of the jade there, Bao Shi's main business is jade jade, Bao Shi people are affected by customs and habits, and feel that jade is the most valuable color, in the words of Bao Shi people, that is: "Gold is not as good as jadeite." ”

Of course, this sentence is not true, gold is more expensive than jadeite at any time, but the people of Baoshi do love jadeite.

This is not to say superstition or anything, generally speaking, whether people raise jade or jade raise people, these are not more or less superstitious elements? After all, there are many legends of jade, so the jade market in different places is also very different. The jade you are proud of here may be worthless in another place.

Therefore, Zhang Feng wants to find a channel to learn about the jade in Jiangshi, which is also very necessary for the antique store he is about to open.

Zhang Feng thought about it, he had already come to the door of the vault, and it was also a busy mess, but everyone gathered at the door, no one entered the vault, only a few strong men were busy inside, counting the jade.

"The third store in the East District, Boss Qian, fifteen pieces of jade, the inventory has been completed. "There was an old man standing at the door, with a pair of old-fashioned round-framed glasses, holding a large brush and something like an account book in his hand, which should be the person in charge of Mingyuzhai's accounts.

A person in the crowd was named, and immediately ran out excitedly, raised his hand to prove that the old man in charge of the account called himself, and then rushed into the vault with an excited face. When the others heard that it was not themselves this time, they all booed, urging if they could hurry up.

Zhang Feng came to the old man in charge of the account and said, "I'm going to go in and pick up a piece of jade, you can arrange it for me." Zhang Feng said directly, but the people around him thought he was a fool, after all, there are so many people waiting here, if they can get in with a word, then what are they waiting for here?

The old man in charge of the account lowered his eyes and squinted at Zhang Feng, the old man in charge of the account originally thought that the person who dared to talk to him like this must be some big person, but he looked at it for a long time, and found that he didn't know the person in front of him at all, and thought that he must be the person who saved a stone here and regarded himself as an uncle, he has seen a lot of such people, and he doesn't understand the rules at all.

The old man in charge of the bookkeeper said: "If you want to take the jade, do you have the manager's signature and approval? If not, I can't let you in! There are rules here, and you can't just put any idle people in it." ”

Although the old man in charge of the account was dissatisfied with Zhang Feng, he did not speak disrespectfully, after all, this is Ming Yuzhai, he is the manager of Ming Yuzhai, and Zhang Feng is a guest here, if he scolds casually, he will lose Ming Yuzhai's face.

The people around saw Zhang Feng's behavior, and they all laughed and disdained, and some even said that Zhang Feng was a hillbilly and didn't understand the rules when he came to the big city, but they were waiting here before dawn, and they could only wait dryly, he was a fart. The shopkeepers of various Mingyuzhai branches vented all their grievances this morning on Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng didn't care, he took out the black card from his pocket unhurriedly, put it in front of the old man in charge of the accounts, and said: "Can this be regarded as the manager's signature? If not, I'll go back to the manager now to ask for a signature." ”

Zhang Feng's meaning is very clear, if the old man in charge of the account sees his black card and doesn't let him in, he will turn back and go to the manager to come over, of course, Zhang Feng said this, and basically concluded that the old man in charge of the account will not embarrass him when he sees this card. If you offend a black card VIP, the old man in charge of the accounts doesn't need to stay here.

Of course, Zhang Feng didn't really go to the manager to sign, just now he was going to go to the manager to get the jade, but when he heard that the door of the vault was open, he crossed the manager's floor and came directly to see if he could bypass the manager's procedure. He hadn't forgotten that the manager had said last night that if Zhang Feng wanted to take the jade, he had to notify him six hours in advance, and he would help him prepare it later. But where did Zhang Feng have so much time to wait for him for six hours now, so if he could scare the old man in charge of the accounts, he could get the jade immediately.

Zhang Feng was facing the old man in charge of the accounts, that is to say, he was facing away from the shopkeepers who were waiting to take the jade, so they didn't know what Zhang Feng was doing at all, but they saw that the eyes of the old man who was very impatient suddenly widened, looking at the things in Zhang Feng's hand, and then looking at Zhang Feng's face, the account book in his hand suddenly closed.

The old man in charge of the accounts suddenly looked at Zhang Feng with a respectful attitude, made a gesture of invitation to the vault, and said: "Please, sir, please, you don't need the consent of the manager, when do you want to come over to get the jade, it is all the meaning of one sentence, how dare I stop you, I will take you over personally." ”

Zhang Feng didn't react to the attitude of the old man in charge of the bookkeeper's sudden change of face, but the shopkeepers were simply unbelievable, looking at the attitude of the old man in charge of the book, from the morning to now, they didn't seem to have seen the old man in charge of the account smile so brightly, although this bright smile was somewhat reluctant. Watching Zhang Feng and the old man disappear into the vault, bored onlookers began to guess Zhang Feng's identity.

Zhang Feng followed the old man to the depths of the vault, he knew yesterday that the vault is not small, very deep, when he and the manager left last night, they all walked for almost ten minutes, Zhang Feng also wanted to ask the old man about the account about the jade, after all, the old man is the bookkeeper, it is impossible not to even understand jade.

"If Mr. wants to auction jade later, I can recommend a very good auction place for him, which is a place where rich people go, so jade can generally be auctioned at a high price, but the quality of jade is also very high. The old man in charge of the accounts walked all the way, probably to resolve the embarrassment, and also to find a topic with Zhang Feng all the way.

Since the old man in charge of the accounts talked about jade, Zhang Feng was really interested, Zhang Feng asked: "Oh, how high are the requirements? The jade I have here is an absolute treasure that has been appraised by famous artists, and I don't know if it can meet the requirements." Zhang Feng tried to bring the topic to the value of jade.

The old man in charge of the account listened to Zhang Feng's words, and glanced at Zhang Feng suspiciously, when he just came over this morning, he heard that there was a lot of uproar, saying that the gambling stone field was suddenly driven away by the same person Four pieces of high-quality jade, and they were stored in the vault of Ming Yuzhai, even the boss was alarmed, the old man in charge of the account thought in his heart, could it be this one!

The old man in charge of the account swallowed his saliva, and it was a shame that he didn't say anything excessive just now, otherwise he didn't know when he would pack up his baggage and leave. The old man in charge of the account said: "Whether the jade can meet the requirements or not, this can only be known after the expert appraisal, but the auction house in the eastern district is the most famous auction house in Mingyuzhai, and all the best auction items are gathered there every time, if the auction items can be selected by that auction house, it will definitely not be bad, since Mr. is confident in his jade, you can try it." ”

Zhang Feng said: "Is it? In other words, among the so many auction halls in Mingyuzhai, the people in there are the richest?" Zhang Feng listened and felt that if he went to that place to take a look, he would be able to roughly estimate the value of the jade.

The old man in charge of the account said: "It can also be said that every time the tickets for that auction house are expensive, but they are still sold out before they start selling, it can be said that it is difficult to find a ticket, and those who can afford to buy are not simple characters, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even take a look." ”

Zhang Feng is interested in going to such a place to see, the world of the rich, the things they see are definitely different from what the middle and lower class citizens see, and even more so for jade antiques, the reason why the rich are rich people is that they are rich people, it is because they are not short of money, only the value of the item, the value is high, no matter how much money is spent, you have to get it, after all, there is the possibility of appreciation in the future. Therefore, Zhang Feng felt that if he looked at the auction of the rich, he would be able to roughly know the jade market in Jiangshi.
