Text Chapter 288 A staggering number of black opals

"That. Shaw....... Can we talk?" Armand was a little frustrated.

"Uh, what's the matter?" Xiao Peng lay on the sun lounger with a relaxed expression.

Armandau's face was embarrassed: "Douglas and Cage are not young, they really can't bear such a large workload, besides, let the two of them be busy like this, how long will it take to complete the identification." ”

Xiao Peng shrugged: "It's okay, I trust them." They're going to do the job! If someone else were to do it, I don't believe they're capable of doing it. ”

Armand's expression was even more embarrassed.

It had been eight hours since the two old men entered the house, and Xiao Peng didn't lose anything with him, and the Wahab cook was still here, making them a delicious seafood feast. Didn't you say that there was no problem with the body? Then let's evaluate it slowly, anyway, Xiao Peng is not in a hurry. Made, I don't know what to do!

There are too many factors that affect the price of Opal, and the price of Opal of the same size can vary by millions of times! The cheap ones can only be sold for a few dollars, but the expensive ones can be sold for millions, so this digging Opal is really a lucky job! If you are lucky, you can dig a piece of land and buy a house. Bad luck digging a bunch is not enough hard money. This required a great deal of skill on the part of the jewellers, otherwise Armand would not have called in two of their most experienced jewellers in Van Cleef & Arpels.

Now, according to this trend, it is a question whether the two old men can return alive after completing this work。。。。。。

They are serious professional appraisers, not those so-called appraisers in China.

100 pieces of domestic jewelry appraisal certificates. A small piece of paper, plastic sealed, becomes the so-called 'professional appraisal', so all kinds of inferior gemstones have been transformed into expensive good things.

This kind of counterfeiting is most common in the jadeite market, almost all jadeite has a so-called 'certificate', long snacks, only those bad things need to be proven! Good things still need to be proven? All the so-called 'appraisals' are pitted laymen, think about it, who needs what 'appraisals'?

The industry is accustomed to divide jadeite into A goods, B goods, A goods refers to the natural jadeite that has not passed any artificial treatment, and B goods C goods, that is, very poor quality jade, through artificial filling, bleaching, coloring processing of jade.

The processing of jadeite B goods C goods, is to first put the inferior stone in a strong corrosive chemical agent to cook, remove all kinds of impurities and variegation, commonly known as cooking material, this process is generally three or four months, and then fill, because the color of jadeite is the key to determine the value, so these people will use the color very close to natural jadeite, and then use high pressure to punch into the inferior stone that has been boiled with strong acid, and then inject glue and seal.

After a few processes, the originally poor inferior materials were transformed into good jadeite, and with a decent appraisal certificate, it can be sold at a high price.

In fact, this is a conscientious fraud, and there are even more excessive, directly using white stones that are not jade at all to fake, but stone fraud is difficult to use high-pressure color injection, to use the method of color baking, put it into an oven-like equipment to bake the color into the stone.

The most unacceptable thing is that no matter what means are used to counterfeit, in order to prevent color loss, the last step is to inject glue. And the glue they inject is not epoxy resin, but a more toxic chemical------ triethanolamine, that is, aminotriethanol. That's highly poisonous, with such fake jadeite jewelry, can you have a good one?

But it's a pity that all these fake jade bracelets, with a 'appraisal certificate', can cheat money. Every year, at least hundreds of thousands of people in China fall for this.

A professional jewelry appraisal like Douglas is a different story. Take this Opal as an example, each piece of Opal, must be sprinkled with a large list of records: the Opal's specifications, colors, advantages, shape, advantages, and disadvantages must be described one by one. Even if Van Cleef & Arpels uses this Opal to make the pack, the certificate will be handed over to the client along with the jewelry. As a symbol of quality.

Jewelry appraisers for luxury jewelers like Douglas and Cage have a reputation for each report! And they represent the Van Cleef & Arpels brand, so there must be no mistakes! Douglas and Cage are both experienced jewelry appraisers, and the appraisal speed is not fast, and there are two pieces of paper next to the appraised Opal, one is the appraisal and the other is the proposed purchase price. It only takes about ten minutes to get a piece. The two men were busy for a day, and less than a hundred Opals were appraised.

And the Opal that needs to be identified by them is at least tens of thousands of yuan! When the two of them have appraised it, half a year may not be enough! Isn't this killing the two of them?

Armand coughed dryly, not knowing what to say, and they kindly asked them to bring assistants, but the two disagreed. Now it's good to dig a pit and bury yourself.

Yang Meng said on the side: "They have been working for a day, you should let them come out to rest and rest." What should you do if you are tired of the two old men? Armand, I really don't see that you are a profiteer. There's no such thing as you squeeze employees, do you?"

When Armand heard this, he quickly ran to open the door and told Douglas and Cage to rest. Not to mention, the two old appraisers are definitely the type who loses but doesn't lose, and they obviously can't wait to run out quickly, and they have to finish the work at hand seriously. After carefully packing up all the identification equipment, he walked out of the room.

Yang Meng looked at the two with a smile: "How do you feel? Can you still hold on? According to your work efficiency today, you still have to work for at least more than half a year, so stick to it slowly." ”

Douglas took a deep breath, but this time he didn't argue any further. Now that his bowels were blue, he knew that there were so many black opals, and he would rather hire a jewelry appraisal agency to do this! Jewelry appraisal is not physically exhausting, but mentally exhausted!

Xiao Peng looked at Douglas with a smile: "Mr. Douglas, what do you think of these black Opals?"

Who knew that Glass said amazingly: "Mr. Xiao, no jewelry company can eat these opals of yours in one go." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Peng asked.

Douglas said: "Mr. Xiao's batch of black opals is almost the output of the entire Lightning Ridge black opal for two years. And the most terrifying thing is that the quality is surprisingly good, which also guarantees the price of this batch of black opals. According to preliminary estimates, the price of this batch of black opals is more than two billion US dollars, and no luxury brand can have so much cash flow to eat this batch of black opals. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "Armand, Padgio, how do you two feel when you hear it?"

Armand smiled wryly: "Xiao, I want to know more, where did you get so many black opals. Why do I always feel like it's not all your Opal?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "I don't want to lie to my friends, I can only tell you, this is definitely not all I have." I'm always going to have to keep myself in the back hand, right?"

"And what are you going to do with the rest of Opal?" asked Padgio.

Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "I definitely can't smash my own signboard, now the price of Opal is high because of the reduction of production, I can't take out Opal and rush to the market in large quantities and then smash the price down." I'm not going to get along with myself. Okay, Pagio, Armand, you have seen what you should see, and if you want to price every gem, then you can go ahead, and I'll give you three more days, and if you don't make a decision after three days, I'll inform the other jewelers------ Anyway, I'll sell all these Opals and buy your shares, right?"

Armand and Pagio looked at each other, Xiao Peng was right, if these opals were sold, he would indeed make more money, Douglas was right, no jeweler could eat this batch of black opals, but if Xiao Peng really called those jewelers over, wouldn't they be able to eat this batch of black opals together?

Now the production of black opal has been decreasing year after year, and all jewelry companies are lacking this thing. If they get this batch of black opals, Van Cleef & Arpels will have no chance to develop. Their union with Prada became a farce.

But Xiao Peng's batch of Opals 。。。。。。 Van Cleef & Arpels is famous, but in fact its market value is less than $700 million, while Prada is worth a lot of money, and its market value is only $8 billion.

Xiao Peng thought for a while and added: "No matter how many shares I give to the two groups, I am only responsible for sharing the money, not for management." This should be good news for you. ”

Hearing this, Pagio's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiao, are you sure you don't participate in the management? Then I want to ask a question, if we really eat this batch of Opal, we are also solely responsible for the way it is used, right?"

Xiao Peng wondered why Padgio asked. But he still nodded: "Of course, I'm only responsible for dividing the money, and I'm sure you won't lose money on purpose, right?"

Pagio grinned, and said to Xiao Peng with a confident face: "Xiao, I'm sure of this batch of Opals! Within three days, I will negotiate with Armand to negotiate a tripartite cooperation agreement and equity transfer ratio that will satisfy you." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Pagio, are you okay? Why are you suddenly about to make a decision?"

Pagio smiled evilly: "If I eat this batch of Opals and give me half a year, I don't make enough one billion, and I don't deserve to mix in the luxury industry anymore!"

"Damn, aren't you crazy?" Xiao Peng looked at Pagio.

Padgio is so hot-blooded?
