Chapter 38 Where the Advantages Be
Bloodstone is a ground stone with cinnabar strips, and is named because of its bright color like chicken blood. If Tang Feng wants to take this bloodstone before Jiang Yuan comes, he has to fight quickly, and if he wants to win a quick battle, he has to call the price to death. This requires figuring out the psychological price of competitors, which should be higher than the psychological price of competitors but not too high to make yourself suffer.
"Add a thousand!" As soon as a competitor finished bidding, Tang Feng shouted: "160,000!" As soon as his voice fell, the originally noisy trading scene immediately quieted down, these people were busy watching the newcomers, and the local merchants would not be so vicious in their bidding.
Seeing that there were foreign merchants who were generous to participate in the competition, the quarryman boss was immediately overjoyed, and he asked the others: "Is there any higher, and if not, the deal will be sold." Liu Yue, who runs an auction company at home, understands in her heart that bidders who know each other, especially powerful competitors, will form a tacit understanding and will not raise each other's prices.
Appreciating bloodstone, first of all, we must look at the amount of blood, the more blood volume, the better, the blood volume is more than 50% for the treasure, in more than 70% for the boutique, the red and psychic all-red bloodstone is the best, commonly known as the "big red robe". The second is to look at the blood color, the red of the bloodstone blood color is divided into bright red, red, crimson, purple red, etc., red such as dripping blood, condensed but not dispersed, deep in the stone in the sense of hierarchy is the best. The second is to look at the ground, and the so-called view of the earth is to see what kind of stone the blood attaches to. After all, the red robe is hard to find, in addition to the red robe, the greater the contrast between the color of the ground and the red, the better, the black and white ground plus the three colors of chicken blood is called "Liu Guanzhang", the green red blood is called the aquatic plant flower, the red blood of the white ground is called mutton fat jelly, the so-called safflower also needs green leaves, these non-all red bloodstone is also the best in the bloodstone.
Seeing that everyone was no longer bidding, the quarryman said with a little disappointment: "Deal." ”
Wearing gold and silver, nouveau riche, appreciating jade and playing with stones, the people who do these businesses are not bad for money, they don't continue to compete not because they are afraid of Tang Feng, but because the stone is really not in good condition. This piece of bloodstone is commonly known as "plum blossom blood", the blood volume is less than 20%, and the gray ground is dotted with blood, which can only be regarded as a low-grade product color in bloodstone.
The eyes of the masses are not necessarily bright, and after the transaction, Chen Yan said to Tang Feng: "This first business is sure to make a profit." ”
Liu Yue, who was pricking up her ears to listen to their conversation, asked Chen Yan, "Can Brother Chen reveal a little?"
Chen Yan was stunned by her big brother Chen's shout, and he said: "There is also the benefit of less blood, this stone does not need too much processing, only need to outline some plum blossom branches on the gray stone." ”
"Oh, I see. Liu Yue nodded and said: "Use the branches to connect those speckled blood, and the artistic conception of looking for plums in the dark will come out." She was still talking triumphantly, and when she saw that Tang Feng's expression was wrong, she pulled Tang Feng's sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I won't betray you." ”
Tang Feng said innocently: "I didn't mean that, you were too careful, right?"
"Cut. Liu Yue pursed her lips and said, "You can hang an oil bottle on your mouth." ”
"Brother Tang, Brother Chen!" Jiang Yuan saw Tang Feng and Chen Yan as soon as he came over, and he immediately stepped forward to shake hands with the two and greet them.
"Yo, isn't this Boss Wang?" "Fortunately, I will be lucky." "It seems that the guy who came with Jiang Yuan is more popular, and many businessmen are greeting him.
Chen Yan obviously knew that person, and he said to Jiang Yuan: "Mr. Jiang, this is your mistake, you came to supervise the formation in person, and you obviously don't worry about Lao Wang." ”
"Where, where. Jiang Yuan said: "I just came here to take a casual look, and Brother Wang is still in charge of the affairs here." "Jiang Yuan is also quite good at being a person, calling his subordinates big brother.
The man also saw Chen Yan, and several people exchanged greetings, this person's name was Wang Pengcheng, who used to be in Beijing, and later came to Longbao Company in Jiangyuan, which was responsible for the procurement of seal stones.
Wang Pengcheng looked at the stone that Tang Feng and the others bought, nodded and said: "Second son, there is really yours, as long as this stone is processed a little, it is not a big problem to get it to Beijing to be doubled or three." ”
"Haha. Chen Yan said with a smile: "This can only show that Lao Wang, your eyesight is good, I haven't even figured out how to get it, or can you point out?" As soon as Tang Feng heard this, he understood, Chen Yan must have a relationship with this Lao Wang in the past, or Chen Yan would not hide it.
Wang Pengcheng snorted and said, "How dare I get an axe in front of you?"
"Boss Wang, long time no see. Seven or eight more people came from the other side, and the leader greeted Wang Pengcheng with a smile, these people were all wearing uniform work clothes, and the logo of "Han Tang Baoye" was printed on their chests, needless to say, Yang Chengming's people came.
"Mr. Xiao, hello. Looking at the enthusiasm of these two people, people who don't know how to know inside really think that they are friends, but Tang Feng knows very well in his heart that these two are Jiang Yuan and Yang Chengming's right-hand men, and the mountains and rains are coming from Beijing, and there are secret battles here.
Mr. Xiao said to Wang Pengcheng as if no one was around: "Today is still the old rule, do you want single or double?"
After hearing this, Liu Yue whispered to Tang Feng: "Mr. Tang, this time you are in trouble, are they dividing the sphere of influence?"
Wang Pengcheng said: "The old rule, the first to come is single, and the last to be double." "Although the war between Hantang Baoye and Longbao Company is imminent, the two sides still maintain a delicate balance in the bloodstone market. After all, neither side is willing to make a big deal in the raw material market, there is competition and cooperation, this is the current status quo of the jewelry industry, this status quo is both an opportunity and a challenge for Tang in its infancy. The opportunity lies in the fact that the two sides can maintain a balance in order to stabilize the price of raw materials, which is very good for Tang. The challenge is that Tang Feng may face the dilemma of being attacked from the back. However, Tang Feng also has its own advantages, because bloodstone is not the same on the outside, more blood on the outside does not mean more blood inside, on the contrary, less blood on the outside does not mean that there is no blood inside, there is also gambling in it. Regardless of the same gambling game, as far as gambling stones are concerned, Tang Feng, who has a small business, can compete fairly with predators like Jiang Yuan and Yang Chengming, and it is evident that there are still people who can rely on bloodstone business under the squeeze of these two groups.
The gambling stone of the seal stone is completely different from the gambling stone of the jadeite rough, the jadeite rough stone is wrapped in a layer of opaque stone skin, while the seal stone has no stone skin. As long as Tang Feng can find a sample of the original stone mining site, he can determine the amount of blood and the amount of blood according to the direction of the stone pattern. The stone can be determined according to the geological age of the rock layer, the same rock layer due to the formation time is the same or similar, so the stones of the same rock layer have similarities in terms of texture and composition.
Tang Feng's knowledge in this area still comes from the ancestral tomb robbery skills, archaeology is legal tomb robbery, tomb robbery is the earliest archaeology. Archaeology is a comprehensive discipline, involving astronomy and geography, ethnicity and religion, geological exploration, history and culture, humanities and architecture, and many other disciplines. Tomb robbery is also a comprehensive discipline, and its involvement is no smaller than that of archaeology, and Tang Feng is fully capable of participating in the competition of gambling stones.
