Chapter 165 Trading Center
When Xiao Peng and the others walked into the trading center, it was quite lively, and many Opal miners bargained with jewelers here. When Xiao Peng and the others walked into the trading center, there was a sudden silence in the trading center for a while, and everyone was staring at Jessica Carter.
"Wow, Jesse, look how beautiful you are, and when you come in, everyone's attention is on you. Yang Meng teased.
Of course, this is just a joke, and they all know why the attention here is focused on Jessica Carter.
"Hey, here comes the shame of Kuberpatty. Someone said that.
"Hey, Jesse Carter, what are you doing here? you're not welcome!" Xiao Peng looked at it, and the person he spoke was Daniel Carroll, who was interested in Carter's mine.
Jessica Carter snorted coldly: "I don't ask you to welcome me, and I'm not selling Opal to you." β
Hearing Jessica Carter's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "Is the Carter family's mine out of Opal?
The situation at Jessie's house, as everyone knows here, has no heavy machinery, only small tools to dig. How many Opals can be dug up? Especially since his family has always been a tourist host, and under the boycott of the whole town, there are no tourists digging in his mine, so what can she gain by herself?
Jessica Carter gave him a blank look: "What do you care about me? It's not you who came to take my Opal." What the hell are you doing?"
Daniel Carroll snorted coldly and raised his voice: "Fellow jewelers, if any of you want to buy Jessica Carter's Opal, it will be with our entire town's opal mine. I don't think you're going to lose our entire town's supply of Opal for a few pieces of Opal ore, are you?"
Listening to Daniel Carroll's words, Jessica Carter was stunned and glared at Daniel Carroll: "You're too much!
"Excessive?" Daniel Carroll looked righteous: "Is this too much compared to the damage your family has done to our town? The most correct choice for you now is to sell the mine and get out of it as soon as possible! Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't sell, anyway, when it's time to pay taxes, you can't come up with the money, and this mine still won't belong to you!"
Jessica Carter squinted and sneered, "That's what shows your fox tail!
Daniel Carroll snorted coldly: "Eyeing your mine? Is this the unanimous opinion of the whole town? You ask everyone in the town, who wants to see you? Every time we see the words White Mine, we all feel disgusted like flies! Okay, you guys go quickly, no one is welcome here." β
Hearing his words, many jewelers also turned their heads and stopped talking, they couldn't afford to lose the supply of opals in the whole town for a few opals.
Daniel Carroll turned his head to look at Xiao Peng and the two: "Chinese, I advised you at the time, don't mix with her, I thought you were smart people, it seems that you are really stupid." Are all Chinese IQ worried?"
In Australia, there is no Asian term, only Chinese one term, whether you are Japanese, Korean, Indian, Philippines, as long as you are yellow, there is only one name in Australia, that is, Chinese.
As soon as Yang Meng heard this, he took a step forward directly, and his principle of action was: fists have the final say. Xiao Peng stretched out his hand to stop him, and Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng with an angry face: "What are you stopping me for?"
Xiao Peng didn't speak, but took off the backpack on his back and poured the contents of the backpack on the table next to him. Seeing what Xiao Peng poured out, everyone took a breath. On the table, there is nothing else, it is a piece of Opal rough stones, from a small Opal the size of a finger to a big guy the size of a fist.
You must know that Opal is a semi-precious stone, and its hardness is less than 7! It is very easy to damage, so Xiao Peng just packed it together casually and fell on the table casually.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiao Peng snorted coldly. Put those Opal rough stones back into his backpack and patted Yang Meng on the shoulder: "Brothers, let's go, don't waste time here." They don't take it? I don't want to waste my time here. The best joke I've heard this year is that I can't sell Opals even if I have them! I think these so-called jewelers are not of high grade and the prices they offer are too low. β
A few people were just about to turn around and go out, when they heard someone shouting from behind: "Please wait a minute!"
The corners of Xiao Peng's mouth raised slightly, and when he looked back, it was those jewelers, a middle-aged jeweler with a sneer: "This gentleman, don't be in a hurry to leave, my job is to buy Opal, how can I give up such a beautiful gem?"
The rest of the jewellers also came over: "That's it, sir, ma'am, don't be in a hurry, I will definitely give you a suitable price." β
"Come on, Gibson, you're famously stingy, can you give you a good price, sir, introduce yourself, buyer of jewelry, if you want to talk about the price, the price would be higher without us. β
After hearing this, the person next to him was directly unhappy: "Jewelry, how much price can your small workshop give?" Sir, if you want to say, we J-GOT will give you a higher price!"
Before Xiao Peng could speak, several jewelry buyers had already started fighting. Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders and asked Jessica Carter in a low voice, "Jesse, what kind of jewelry companies are they, why haven't I heard of them?"
Jesse explained, "These are small jewelers, and they are also jewelry suppliers, after all, those big jewelers can't be here all the time, they are responsible for supplying the big jewelers." β
Yang Meng pouted: "It turns out that they are all second-class dealers." β
Xiao Peng looked at these jewelers: "Hehe, you want to buy these Opals?"
Listening to Xiao Peng's words, a kind of jeweler's head nodded desperately like a chicken eating rice. Xiao Peng snorted coldly: "Just now I thought that you Australians were all worried about their IQ, and they didn't make money if they put it away." It seems that not everyone is as stupid as someone. β
Listening to Xiao Peng's words, all the jewelers looked slightly embarrassed. Isn't this someone Daniel Carroll? Daniel is also a big customer and an old customer, so it's not good to offend him directly. At this time, the most correct thing to do is not to speakγγγγγγ
Xiao Peng didn't relent: "Hey, you have to think about it, many people have already said that if you want to buy our Opal, they will be unhappy." β
A jeweler looked at Xiao Peng's bag, then at Daniel, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "We are jewelers, and we are dependent on the miners, how can we not have a good relationship with the miners? We will treat all miners equally." We won't let any of the Opal miners go unnoticed. β
Xiao Peng smiled, you didn't mean it like this just now, when you heard the words of Daniel and the others just now, they all hid far away, for fear of offending people, but now they have a different face. But at this time, he didn't bother to pursue these things. Walk back to the table. Putting the backpack on the table, the jewelers all held their breath and watched Xiao Peng's movements. Not to mention them, even the other jewelry miners stared at Xiao Peng's backpack with wide eyes. They wanted to see for themselves what kind of goods Xiao Peng was excavating.
Xiao Peng set up a table with Opals, large and small, but put three of them back in his backpack.
"Mr. Xiao, those three piecesγγγγγγ Someone wondered.
Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "You can't afford these three pieces." β
When these words came out, everyone collectively scoffed: "This Chinese friend, you really look down on people when you say this." Even if you bring the rainbow, we won't be able to afford it!"
You know, this Opal is thin because of its fine layer, and can usually only make small accessories. The 'rainbow' they refer to is a sky-high piece of opal, only about six centimeters long and more than one centimeter wide. This small piece of Opal costs millions of Australian dollars.
You know, that 'rainbow' is a white opal, not a black opal!
This black opal is by no means black, on a good black opal, you will not even feel a trace of black shadow, the black opal' refers to the opal's 'body color', that is, the true color of the silica pellets that occasionally become opal. Therefore, most of the black opals are dark colors as the main color, such as blue, purple, etc.
White Opal. It is the 'body color' of white Opal, the color is mostly lighter, most of them are composed of warm colors, and the color contrast is relatively not obvious, such as the color contrast of white and light green, which is not as good as black Opal, so the price is very different from black Opal.
But the 'rainbow' is definitely an exception, there are countless color contrasts of the color composition, not so much it is a natural gemstone, many people would rather believe that it is a painter's canvas, after seeing it will remind people of the impressionist painting master Monet's use of color! This piece of Opal came out, and it was shocking for a while. So the price keeps rising, and such a small cylindrical opal is millions of Australian dollars. Compared to the black Opal, it is not too much. They said that even the 'rainbow' could be acquired, so they naturally said that they were not short of money.
Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "Then look at how much money you will pay for this piece?" He reached into his backpack and casually took out a piece of Opal and put it in front of everyone.
After seeing this piece of opal, everyone let out an exclamation.
I saw that this piece of Opal was the size of a fist, and the main body was transparent and light blue, like glass, and then looked inside, it was composed of pink, yellow, dark red and other different colors and shapes of Opal color blocks composed of a seabed pattern. Holding this opal, you don't see a gemstone, but an underwater landscape of coral reefs of different colors.
"How much can you pay for this?" Xiao Peng said lightly. A few jewelers, you look at me, I look at you, and they are speechless.
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "All I left behind are Opals of this quality, do you still want to buy them?" Everyone, be realistic, look at the pile of Opals in front of you, this is what you should mainly consider." β
After everyone listened to Xiao Peng's words, you look at me and I look at you, and finally sighed collectively. Xiao Peng is really right. A piece of Opal like the one he showed could only be an eight-figure price, which was indeed unacceptable to them as small jewelers. Let's be realistic, stare at Opal on the table!
