Jia Yidao's antique life Chapter 131 Pingzhou Ghost Market

Chapter 131 Pingzhou Ghost City

Now this year. It seems - long distances. As long as there is convenient transportation. All of a sudden, you don't feel like you're thousands of miles away. It's not. Meng Yi saw the prosperity of Guangzhou. Jia Yidao's mind is still a little unable to turn. I praised the degree of the plane in my heart. I didn't have time to feel anything else. Wang Biao took him and hurried to the Guangzhou Railway Station. Take the 25 shuttle bus. It doesn't take an hour. You can reach Ping Chau Station.

Speaking of which. Ping Chau is not just a small town. Its scale is not as large as that of a county-level city like Linhai. It is under the jurisdiction of Nanshi City, Guangdong Province. It is nothing more than a very close distance from Guangzhou. It's just over 20 kilometers. Even. Jia Rudao still knows. The history of Pingzhou jade is not very long. Compared to Tengchong Yingjiang in Yunnan and so on. There are a lot of inconveniences in the location. It is far away from Myanmar, where jadeite is produced. Not much of an advantage.

But Pingzhou's jade gas is not small.

In the eighties of the last century. In the secluded place next to Pingdong Avenue in Pingzhou, there is a very inconspicuous Soho Street. The whole street is no more than 200 meters long. It is hard to squeeze dozens of small individual jade processing workshops. And to process jadeite A goods. polishing jade, etc. And famous. This can be regarded as the body of Pingzhou Jade Street.

Although the strip at that time was very ugly. But. Because of the advantages of the process. Especially varieties such as jade buckles. From a 50mm straight cassock with a large buckle to a small buckle of about 35mm. Even bracelet clasps and micro clasps under 10mm, etc. Everything. For this. There is also a collective name called "Pingzhou buckle". Naturally, it attracts tourists from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and often comes here. So much so that there are not a few jade merchants from all over the country who come to Pingzhou to buy goods in batches

Sometimes. It is often sold out as soon as it is shipped. There is a tendency for supply to exceed demand.

Who makes this place good and cheap? Add to that the context of current events. In the years when Jade Street first gradually took shape. There was no Asian financial turmoil, as long as they came to Pingzhou to buy goods. For jadeite merchants. You can basically save a lot of money. Especially buying and selling in bulk. It's a sure win. Time. The scale and fame were hit.

After experiencing finance and machines, the new "Zhou Jade Street" was fully opened in 1998 and has been exhibited every year. The jade shops have long since grown from the first dozens. Exhibit to 0. It is also a newly exhibited Guangdong, Jieyang, Puning, etc., there are also many bosses. Came to Pingzhou to open a store and deal in high-end jade products.

I'm afraid of Liu Yufei's Liu family. I don't think I'll be able to pass through the Pingzhou market, right?

I originally wanted to give Liu Yufei a call. Pass. Based on the reluctance to disturb him at this time. Jia Rudao decided to go directly to Jieyang. Let's give Liu Yufei another surprise. and Wang Biao lived together in Pingzhou Hotel, and the conditions were compared to big cities. Naturally, it's not good, but. In Ben's words. But it's already the best. The price is also quite affordable.

Wang is a big boss though. But it is not so particular. I've been to Yunnan. Even him in Burma. After seeing Jia seem to look at the Pingzhou store, he was a little curious. also explained: "Don't look at the layout of this hotel. It may not be very good in your eyes. But. If there is no jade street in Pingzhou. Even such a hotel. I can't do it. ”

Jia Rudao nodded. Exit from Ping Chau Railway Station. What you see along the way. Such an answer is almost predictable. The two of them arranged to stay: after. While the sky is still shining. I went to Jade Street immediately. In the words of Jia Yidao. It's all going anyway. It's better to hurry.

Surrounding houses or something. For the town. It's not bad, either. The road conditions are average. There is no so-called very eye-catching band. There are also no very spacious emerging avenues. Everything is in Jia Yidao's opinion. All of them are a bit of a mid-gauge mid-distance. It has a rural atmosphere. I simply saw the pictures of Pingzhou on the Internet. Jia Rudao said about the scene in front of him. It can be regarded as mentally prepared.

If not. Swap for a newbie. If it's someone who comes here because of the fame of Jade Street here. I'm afraid I'm a little disappointed. No. When you think of those exquisite and dazzling jadeite products. It's from the huts on both sides of the street. Jia Rudao's heart. There was an inexplicable emotion.

"That's right. Brother Wang. There should also be a large processing factory or something, right? Could it be that it is also on both sides of this jade street?" Jia Rudao only saw a lot of self-employed people. Curious. I asked.

"Yes. There is a home for those who process jade bracelets. Wang Biao smiled faintly. Said. "I've picked up the goods here. How. Do you want to go now?" seemed to ask. Jia Rudao didn't sell jadeite products. Even if it goes. It's just a factory that processes jadeite. What's there to see.

"Forget it. I'm just asking. "It seems that Dao is pondering in his heart. And so it is. In addition, I don't have any jadeite rough on hand. I went out of my way to the processing plant to have a look. On the contrary, it is a bit contrived.

The two of them just walked around the jade. And didn't go far.

Because Jia Rudao is here for the first time. Wang Biao played the role of a temporary guide. While watching. While explaining to Jia Yidao. For example, the exhibition history of Pingyu Street. Or maybe it's some hard thing about the finished jadeite.

Wang Biao himself is running these. Looking at the finished jadeite on the counter. The vision is undoubtedly a lot more vicious. Lots of insider price manipulation. It's business itself. After listening to Wang Biao's explanation. also had a very helpless expression. Fortunately, Wang Biao just said it to Jia Rudao. There is no reason to make trouble.

In addition, Wang Biao is much older than Jia Yidao. Take a look at it. It's like the elders are taking the juniors. Come out and see the general for a long time. Such a situation. In the jade street or gambling stone market and so on. It's really quite common. If you don't deliberately sabotage someone else's ongoing transaction. The merchant saw it. Nothing more.

That's it. It's cheaper, Jia Rudao. Wang Biao's explanation. Let it grade the A goods, B goods, and C goods of jadeite. and the corresponding products, the finished products have a very straightforward sense.

For example, the most common eight-B goods. and so-called aB goods. The latter is in the mouth of the merchant. Naturally, it is a natural jadeite rough. The quality of the quality of the B grade cut out of the water, but. Wang Biao explained

Plainly. It is to distinguish between Cui B goods and Basanyu B goods and change the name. Naturally, its price has fluctuated, which is enough to make some laymen scratch the door.

And what impressed Jia Nidao the most was the reputation of the merchants here.

That's really nothing to say.

Speaking of which, as early as the "Soho" period several years ago, Pingzhou ware stores except for a few outsiders. In addition to selling jadeite B goods, C goods and miscellaneous jade products. It is almost a natural A goods jadeite that sells all of them so that buyers can rest assured. It is with this kind of credibility guarantee that the Fei trading market will become more and more perfect.

Even today. When the unsavvy buyer asks about some of the reputable stores of Ben. When it comes to B goods, most Pingzhou people will tell the truth. It is rare to use B goods or B+netbsp; A lot of the time, before Biao began to explain. The merchants themselves will take the initiative to say. What kind of color are the finished jadeite products that Jia Rudao fancies.

This kind of transaction can indeed reassure customers a lot more than other parties' deception.

Out of the jade on the way back. Jia Rudao asked, "Brother Wang." Since everyone is doing business in a real way. The profit in this. Isn't it as good as those fraudulent merchants?"

"Huh. Not so really. Wang Biao on this. It's also deeply touched. Ponder for a moment. only explained. "Don't look at the fact that there are a lot of B goods here. But. Once upon a time. It's all about the A-goods business. Get used to it. Word-of-mouth old customers or something. It's all been continued. If. If it is suddenly destroyed. Self-righteousness outweighs the cost. Merely. You know that, too. Just the meaning of the goods. It's really hard to do. The purchase price of good materials is high, and I want to sell in large quantities. It's even harder. to the so-called C goods. That's just completely blind. To put it bluntly. Not even jadeite. than we gambled on the stones. Those thrown away no one wants. The grades are even lower. Such a product. Naturally, it was also difficult to make a move. And now the B goods that are all the rage. One comes. The cost is low, and the second comes. The appearance of the finished thing is also beautiful. Instead, make money. ”

"So to speak. Doesn't everyone prefer to go to the business of B goods?" Jia Rudao listened to Wang Biao's explanation. It's even more confusing.

"Huh. This is true in other ways. Don't say in a big city like Kyojo. Those big mall stuff. Don't look at the expensive ones to die for. Things aren't necessarily right. Wang Biao said. "Emerald and his line. If there is no good sales. High-end jadeite products in the business. It's really not easy to do. A goods of Pingzhou. In fact, in the eyes of us jadeite merchants. But it is a low-end jadeite product. Sales are also the largest part. As long as they approve the time. With a certain credibility. The sales volume is large. Profits are naturally not low. ”

"Clear. Jia Rudao nodded. Said. "No wonder I just watched it. Most of them are low-to-mid quality. It's also a cargo. "Still. That's what I said. Jia Rudao also knows. The layman's love for jadeite. It's just its cool color. And just a pretty look.

As long as the thing looks good. The importance attached to the quality of the seed water. But it's not very high.

But. Jadeite really has a value preservation and collection value. But it's only a small fraction of the top ones. That is, the glass species of bright green and ice species pursued in Jia Rudao's gambling stone. If a finished jadeite product does not have a price of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. At the most. It's just a "low-end product" in the mouth of jade merchants.

Of course. On the other hand, when the merchant introduced. These are natural top-level "A goods".

Plainly. It is profit that determines the market. As for those B goods and the like. The shot is fast. Things are not worth much. Jia Rudao naturally knows it in his heart, so it's good anyway. With the help of his ability perception. Presumably. Even if it's cut offcuts. Such as those colorless glass species and the like. It's enough to be far from the average market commodity.

But. Compared to other antique products. Identification and price of finished jadeite products. But it's obvious enough.

And it's no wonder that many people say. Water in the antique market. It's deeper and more muddy!

"Let's go. Now let's go to dinner first. Then rest early in the evening. Wang Biao pulled Jia Rudao. Said. "I'm going to wake up early tomorrow. ”

"Wake up early?" Jia Rudao wondered. "I usually wake up early. Is it today. Didn't get up early enough?" remembered that Wang Biaoxing hurriedly called in the morning and pulled Jia Yidao up from the bed. Jia seems to be trembling, will it be earlier tomorrow?

"Just the time you get up. Where is it early? Wang Biao said with a smile. "Listen to me. Tomorrow morning. It was estimated at four or five o'clock. Let's get up. ”

"It's too early, isn't it?" Jia Rudao complained. "Is it gambling on the stone market. Can the market open so early?" said it. Arrived at Ping Chau. There are two squares. It's a must-see. One is Jade Street. Other. However, it is the gambling stone market. Jia seems to be the purpose of Wang Biao. And exactly there. But you don't need to get up before dawn, right?

Suddenly. Jia Rudao's heart moved. In an instant, I understood something. Look at Wang Biao's still smiling appearance. I was even more affirmed. I can't help but slap my thigh. said, "That's right." It's time to wake up early. How did I forget about the ghost market? "Finished. There is also a look of regret.

Immediately attracted Wang Biao's more wanton laughter......

Jia Rudao didn't care. I waited to go back to Shanghai. Jia Rudao missed the ghost market. This time I came to Pingzhou. There's really no reason to miss it again. General. Only slightly larger antique markets. and the jadeite market. In the middle of the night. There will be a lot of vendors. Each with a lamp. There are orderly stalls on both sides of the street. Sell treasures from your own collection.

When the vast majority of them. None of them will be treasures. It's some defective products. It's even fake. But. Wait a minute, look at the antique jadeite. It is undoubtedly very particular about a person's experience and eyesight. Even if there are many people who fall for the ghost market. But I'm still passionate about it.

Jia Rudao was naturally full of curiosity.
