Episode 316 Agate slices

In fact, Kowloon was very wrong.

Here, the so-called "natural" is still too high, and "dyeing" is even more excessive.

Since you go to Onyx Village, you can't go in vain, and you should take pictures.

So, in the shop, in the factory, and on the road, Kowloon took some photos.

Kowloon learned about the entire processing and production process of agate bracelets, and as for the pendants, ring faces and beads, most of them were processed from the waste materials of agate bracelets.

These wastes are basically not wanted in Onyx Village, and they have to be sold to Guangdong.

In Guangdong, there is a place that specializes in processing agate beads, which is in the Ketang District of Haifeng.

Most of the agate beads and bracelets sold in Agate Village are processed and resold in Guangdong.

Why are the people of Onyx Village reluctant to process beads and noodles?

First of all, the machine for making beads is completely different, and a batch of machines need to be entered, in addition, the profits of making beads are relatively thin, and businessmen are profit-seeking, which line is more convenient to make money, and naturally do which line, just like in the jadeite industry, Pingzhou mainly makes bracelets, and then sells the leftovers to Sihui to make carvings.

As for the agate or chalcedony used for the ring face or pendant, it needs to be of good texture, and it must be Brazilian material of material A, or Indonesian material, horse material, etc.

In Onyx Village, Indonesian and horse materials are relatively rare, and Brazilian food is relatively less due to the high price of A.

More commonly known are Brazilian or Uruguayan dishes known as B-spices.

What needs to be explained is that material A and material B here are different from jadeite A and B goods.

It's just that the industry calls materials with better texture and better color as material A, such as purple agate and purple chalcedony that everyone wants, which are classified as material A, and those materials that need high temperature optimization or dyeing treatment are classified as material B.

This is also the reason why the price of good agate and chalcedony is much higher, because it is much more expensive in the material link in the first place, and the price difference between the two is several times or even ten times.

When experienced people come to pick up the goods, they will not go to the store, but go directly to the factory.

The people who come to the store to get the goods are small wholesalers or tourists and ordinary citizens, and large wholesalers go directly to the factory so that they will not stay in the store longer.

This also creates a situation where buying things in the agate village is one price for tourists, one price for acquaintances, one price for small wholesalers, and another price for large wholesalers.

In Kowloon's view, this may be the manufacturer's order to maintain a relatively stable price system for the agate market, so that the following wholesalers at all levels can make a little profit.

And since he runs a factory, he doesn't care about the occasional sale of a few things in the store, anyway, he likes to buy them or not.

The real business is to win by quantity, even if the big wholesalers make a little less money, as long as the quantity comes up, the profit will come.

Therefore, this is also the reason why many enthusiasts and tourists who rush to Agate Village to shop for goods finally return in a huff.

Because buying a few things alone, the store is either not very enthusiastic, or the price is not low, it is better to buy it cheaper online.

In recent years, because the economy of Onyx Village has risen, the business has improved, and every household has a little money, many people have built small buildings, and many businesses from the Northeast have also poured into Onyx Village to open shops.

It is said that their business is mainly in the north, picking up goods locally in the village of Agate and then wholesale them to the north.

Therefore, the Northeast people open shops in Onyx Village, and in Kowloon's understanding, they may also be used as a point of contact, making a little money by the way, nothing more.

You must know that agate village in the domestic agate handicraft industry, its reputation is very loud.

Jiulong and Tie Dahan came this time, and finally understood the agate processing and production process, and they still gained something, but they felt very strange, they looked here for a long time, there were really no resources, how did they start in the beginning? There must be a lot of stories in it.

Of course, Kowloon's main concern is whether there are any strange stones here, and even if there are none, they can be viewed.

He picked up a discarded slice of agate, how could there be a pattern on it, but the pattern was too vague, just composed of a few agate patterns, nothing like it.

Kowloon was not disappointed, it saw hope in this slice, perhaps, after watching a few more pieces, it could find what it wanted.

Reality played a big joke on him, he looked at dozens of slices, and there was no decent pattern.

A worker walked over, probably suspicious of Kowloon's motive for looking for this: "Boss, these are scrap, please don't mess around, okay?"

The worker reminded.

"Do any of these slices have any of the better ones? I mean these patterns, are there any of them that are pretty?"

Jiulong asked, he didn't say what it looked like, but asked if it was beautiful, mainly because he was worried that they wouldn't understand.

"If you're looking for a pretty one, go to the front storefront, there's no one here. ”

The worker replied angrily, he felt that these two people were really stupid, and they didn't ask for good bracelets, but looked for these useless things.

When Jiulong heard this, not only was he not angry, but he was more excited, and he hurriedly said goodbye to the workers and walked outside with the iron man.

The two of them came to a shop called Sujin agate, and looked at it from the shelves, and sure enough, they saw a lot of agate slices, which were all framed by a simple L frame, and from a distance, Jiulong saw a slice, as if there was a golden dragon head picture, this dragon head flickered in the clouds, it was really a dragon to see the head and not the end, and Jiulong suddenly stared at his eyes.

Kowloon asked the store, how much does this slice cost?

The shopkeeper smiled: "I looked very beautiful at the beginning, so I put them on the table, but I didn't expect to put them on the table now, if you want it, it's cheaper, 100 yuan a piece, how about it?"

Kowloon didn't say anything, he looked at a few more pieces, there were like chickens, like monkeys, these slices, the appearance is mainly gray, the middle part, have formed a lot of colorful and beautiful patterns, Kowloon wanted to take these three pieces away, he said to the shop: "Boss, you have no use value for these things, no wonder no one cares, otherwise, I took these three pieces, how about a piece of fifty? I just look at it for fun." ”

The boss was a middle-aged woman, and she glanced at Jiulong strangely: "Okay, take them all, there are still a lot of them here, do you want to?"

The boss said, pointing to the messy slices.

"No, I'll take three pieces first, I'll come back later. ”

Jiulong wrapped these three pieces, seeing that it was getting late, although he really wanted to go to other places to see, however, thinking of his promise to Manager Wu, Taobao still had to have a degree, and it was not too late to come back in the future, so Jiulong signaled to Tie Dahan and prepared to go home.
