Chapter 305 Testing Center
Jia Rudao couldn't help but make a gesture to answer the phone first and ask the other party to wait a little.
However, just as he took out the phone, Jia Rudao hurriedly said to the antique vendor in front of him: "I think so, I'll add more, one hundred and fifty yuan." If you're not going to make a move, then I'm leaving. I still don't believe it, I can't find some cheap copper coins in this antique street......"
As soon as he finished muttering here, Jia Rudao picked up the phone. It's just that seeing a rather unfamiliar number displayed on it, Jia Nidao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, leaned into his ear, and when he heard the other party say, the vehicle ordered by Jia Nidao two days ago was already in place, and Jia Nidao understood. From now on, I will be regarded as a car owner!
"How is it?" Jia Rudao hung up the phone, with a smile on his face, and when he spoke to the antique vendor, looking at the appearance, there was a big gesture that the other party said "no", and Jia Rudao was about to leave. Such a move, in the eyes of the hawker, undoubtedly shows that Jia Rudao is a busy man, and something is urging.
Therefore, without much hesitation, the stall vendor said with some confidence: "Look, if you don't do this, make up a whole number, two hundred yuan, you can get the goods!"
"Two hundred?" Jia Nidao smiled bitterly in his heart, if it was in normal times, it would be impossible to say that Jia Nidao would account for the gap between this "fifty yuan". Although, Jia seems to be not short of such a little money, but just like most girls like to go shopping and bargain, in the antique street market, even if you are a millionaire, if you encounter something you don't like, it is not easy to bid three or five hundred!
Unless it's something they value, there's still a little room for price increases!
And now Jia Rudao was a little anxious to go to the car dealership to pick up the car, and looked at the copper coins on the stall, the quantity is really not small, two hundred yuan is two hundred yuan, Jia Rudao pondered in his heart, nodded and agreed, and said: "Okay, okay, put it up for me." ”
At that moment, the stall owner and vendor smiled and quickly picked up all these copper coins into a convenient bag. In addition, I was afraid that this bag would not be able to bear the weight of the copper coin and break, so I put another one on the outside, such an inadvertent move made Jia Nidao's mood gradually feel a little comfortable, even if he was cut down by the vendor in front of him for 50 yuan, Jia Nidao did not feel the slightest loss!
I took the convenient bag and carried it in my hand, and it felt quite heavy.
Originally, Jia Rudao still wanted to go shopping more on the side of the antique street, and then go to the pony stall to sit down, and ask what many collectors think of tomorrow's antique appraisal conference, but now with these many copper coins in his hand, Jia Yidao immediately took a taxi back to the villa. Put the copper money in your hand and put it at home, and then went to the car dealership and drove your own car back!
Because of the rare opportunity to drive a car, the excitement in Jia Rudao's heart was almost as happy as picking up a leak on the side of the antique street! However, when he thought of the word "leakage", Jia Rudao's heart seemed to be looking forward to the appearance of some more valuable things in the copper coins he bought!
It doesn't have to be the "Qixiang Heavy Treasure" of the Qing Dynasty, or the precious copper coins such as the "Heavenly Tongbao" minted during the Taiping Rebellion, at least, it can't be all the "Kaiyuan Tongbao" of the Tang Dynasty, or even the "Xuanhe Tongbao" of the Northern Song Dynasty.
It's just that such expectations are limited to expectations. Jia Rudao is not an expert at all when it comes to the reserve of knowledge on ancient coins. It can only be said that he is barely a novice in the industry. If you have time, you can look up more information or something. Combined with the physical objects of so many ancient coins in his hand, Jia Rudao felt that he should be able to find a lot of fun in the collection of ancient coins.
Of course, at noon, I simply ate some meals and got in touch with Ji Yanran. The two went to the provincial capital of Hangzhou together. It's not that Jia Rudao should show off something after buying a car. On the side of the villa, when the two met, when Ji Yanran looked at Jia Nidao's car, the weirdness in her eyes made Jia Nidao's heart always feel a sense of melancholy!
Who made two people's cars look so similar?
Jia Rudao shrugged his shoulders, pretended to be nothing, and sat in the co-pilot seat on Ji Yanran's side. Although she was still a little worried in her heart, Ji Yanran would ask some questions that would make it difficult for Jia Yidao to answer. However, it seems that Ji Yanran did not express any dissatisfaction with Jia Yidao's actions.
Just subconsciously, the corner of his mouth smiled and praised: "The xìng of this car can be very good." ”
It made Jia Rudao's heart become much calmer. Of course, along the way, the two of them also casually talked about some things about the jade industry, especially for tomorrow's antique treasure appreciation activities, until this time, Jia Yidao learned from Ji Yanran's mouth that the other party was also one of the jade identification experts!
"What, doesn't it look like it?" Ji Yanran glanced at Jia Yidao, and there was a look of surprise on Jia Yidao's face, and she couldn't help explaining, "If it weren't for the lack of manpower, I wouldn't really want to, and I need to take my turn to replace it." I don't know, tomorrow, I will make a mistake!" The words of some complaints, Xu noticed that Jia Nidao was also an appraiser at the event site, Ji Yanran said and spoke, and her tone became a little light.
"Could it be that Miss Ji, you are also participating in such an activity for the first time?" Jia Yidao had a slight doubt in his heart.
"If it's just a part, I'm quite involved. However, this is still the first time that I really went into battle to identify it. Ji Yanran said, "So, I've been a little nervous since a few days ago......
"Why, when gambling on stones in Jieyang, I think you should know a lot about this business. A newbie like me isn't very afraid of tomorrow's appraisal event, so what else do you have to worry about? Jia Rudao smiled, and even he felt the words he spoke, and he actually had a somewhat comforting tone.
However, if it weren't for the help of ability perception, thinking about it, Jia Nidao's so-called not worrying about it would be nonsense at all, right? What's more, Jia Nidao has always had a different psychology about the so-called TV show.
When she arrived at the provincial capital and was about to enter the city, Ji Yanran suddenly glanced at Jia Yidao meaningfully, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
When Jia Yidao noticed her gaze, he could obviously feel that Ji Yanran had something to say, but she was hesitating and not saying it.
Is there any request?
Jia Rudao muttered in his heart and said, "Miss Ji, if there are any matters that need to be paid attention to when you go to the testing center later, you might as well tell me now." Otherwise, I'll be going to make a fool of myself. ”
"There's nothing special to pay attention to in that place. Ji Yanran thought about the wording. said, "When the time comes, when you go to visit, there will definitely be someone to accompany you." But ......" Ji Yanran glanced at Jia Rudao. As if he had made up his mind, he whispered, "However, I may not be able to accompany you then." ”
"Oh, that's it?" Jia Rudao was amused, he knew that Ji Yanran came to Hangzhou to invite someone, "It's okay, it's okay if you're busy." However, Miss Ji, I'm a little strange, why did you bring me with you when you came to Hangzhou this time?"
"This ......" Ji Yanran's face showed a slightly embarrassed look, just as Jia Yidao was about to explain, so that it didn't matter if the other party didn't have to answer, Ji Yanran looked at the front of the windshield and pretended to be casual, "It's because someone is pestering me here in the testing center." I'm going to pull you over and help push it out. Well, you wouldn't mind if I didn't tell you beforehand, would you?"
"Even if I mind, can I go back now?" Jia Yidao touched his nose, but he somewhat understood why Ji Yanran was hesitant just now. Moreover, for Ji Yanran's visit to Hangzhou this time, she deliberately asked Jia Nidao to visit the testing center, I am afraid that in Ji Yanran's heart, it can be regarded as a compensation for letting Jia Nidao act as a shield!
"Naturally, it can't!" After Ji Yanran heard Jia Yidao's helpless words, she laughed very easily, originally a little cold, or hesitant. At this point, it's like a different person. Seeing Jia Rudao's surprised gaze, Ji Yanran's face flushed slightly, and said, "However, in the morning, I learned that that annoying guy went on a business trip today. So, I think we should be able to complete our task in the afternoon without any problems......"
As he spoke, Jia Rudao faintly felt that Ji Yanran was in a good mood because of the absence of that person! It's just that when a person hates other people to a certain extent, isn't this kind of relationship unusual in itself?
Otherwise, why should Ji Yanran care about the other party's entanglement?
Jia Rudao sat silently in the car. It took about dozens of minutes for the two to arrive at the so-called "jewelry and jade testing center". After getting out of the car, if he hadn't seen such a sign with the name of the testing center hanging at the door of the house, Jia Yidao would have really hard to believe that such a place in front of him was the destination of himself and Ji Yanran!
The whole house is too different from Jia Yidao's prediction.
Jia Rudao pondered on the way here, this is also a testing institution in the provincial capital, at least it must have a good scale, right? As a result, it is just a sign with a name, and the house is a little old, not to mention, the place occupied is not very large, especially if you want to test, you need to go up to the second floor. Because, on the second floor of the house, there is an entire row of shops selling fruits, flowers, and the like.
I really don't know how profitable such a place can be in selling fruits and flowers and the like downstairs in a testing agency. Fortunately, Jia Rudao didn't have time to observe some of the surrounding environment, so he followed Ji Yanran up to the second floor. At first glance, there were a few customers sitting in the lobby, reading the newspaper, or just waiting, watching the door of a studio next to it!
"Don't you feel a little surprised? Seeing Jia Yidao's somewhat stunned eyes, Ji Yanran was on the side, smiled, spoke in a somewhat playful tone, and slightly stroked his show, and said, "When I came once, I thought I was in the wrong place." ”
It's not just Ji Yanran who said it once. Even this time, when Jia Yidao and Ji Yanran came to the front desk together, the waiter inside thought it was a customer who came to appraise the jewelry. It wasn't until Ji Yanran explained that she had made an appointment with Director Chen here, that the waiter led the two of them to an office on the side with a smile on her face.
On the way, Jia Rudao realized from the waiter's words that the jewelry and jade testing center here is open to the public, which is nothing more than to make a little extra money or something, and every time you help the masses to do identification, you need to charge a certain fee. Of course, there will also be an appraisal certificate or something. The latter may also need to be charged a little more! Dozens of small ones, or hundreds of more expensive fees.
Even so, there is still an endless stream of people who come here to do jewelry and jade appraisal.
Don't look at the current hall, there are not many people seated, that is, only three or five people. However, there are quite a few jewels that are tested at the appraisal center. After all, not everything can wait for a few minutes to get results. And the staff of the testing center will not work overtime on weekends!
Jia Rudao paid attention to it, the scale of the entire testing center is not very large, in addition to the hall I saw just now, there is a special reception desk at the door, and the rest is a few offices, as well as the most important testing room of the testing center, also known as the laboratory, there are several!
In Jia Rudao's mind, it should be that different laboratory instruments need to be used to test different jewelry.
And I followed the service staff into one of the offices, because there was an appointment. Director Chen himself is in the office. Looking through some information documents, when he saw the arrival of Ji Yanran and others, he naturally politely invited a few people to sit down and began to discuss. However, as for how Ji Yanran invited Director Chen, and what kind of cooperation agreement she has with the testing center here, such as how much money it will cost, Jia Rudao is not interested at all.
Ji Yanran was able to come here in person, just to show her sincerity in inviting Director Chen to send a few experts over!
Therefore, before he could say a few words, after Ji Yanran's proposal, Director Chen made a phone call and found a middle-aged man surnamed Wang, who belonged to the staff of the testing center, and accompanied Jia Nidao to visit the entire testing center!
For this jewelry and jade testing center, Jia Rudao's greatest interest is precisely the jīng secret instruments in those laboratories.
In the past, when he went to Henan to identify the composition of agate trees, Jia Yidao only stayed in the reception room of the laboratory, and he had no chance to contact high-density instruments at all. At this time, with Director Chen's instructions, Jia Rudao may not be able to do it himself, but it is still possible to see it with his own eyes.
glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, who looked quite gentle, wearing a pair of glasses like glass bottles.
Seeing Jia Yidao turning his head to look at him, he smiled kindly and said, "Xiao Jia, if you don't mind, just call me Lao Wang." Let's go to the laboratory over there first? There are quite a few laboratories in this testing center. ”
"Well, it's up to you. How convenient, that's it, I'm just following the visit. Jia Rudao said, "The main thing is that I haven't seen it before, and I've only seen some of it in books." I see there are still people working in a few of the labs over here, and if we go in like this, won't we disturb them?"
"Hehe, actually, these instruments are not as expensive as you think. As the middle-aged man spoke, he lifted his glasses and said, "When we usually work, we also chat or something...... By the way, Xiao Jia, what kind of industry are you doing? Ordinary people are not interested in these instruments or anything!"
"Emerald. Jia Rudao replied simply and simply, speaking of which, although jadeite also belongs to the category of jewelry and jade, it is different from the identification of most jewelry. Regardless of whether Jia Yidao has the perception of supernatural abilities, when looking at jadeite, it is nothing more than using simple tools such as magnifying glasses and flashlights. And, more often than not, with one's eyesight!
And diamonds or something, but it requires a certain amount of accurate data!
Therefore, looking at Lao Wang's calm expression, Jia Rudao's heart suddenly became a little curious, after there are many jīng secret instruments in this testing center, what kind of special methods are there for the identification of jadeite? Or is it that when the testing center identifies jadeite, it also relies on pure personal ability?
