Chapter 172 I'd rather buy a line than a piece
"Hey, isn't this Brother Zhang, you really still came, come on, come on, sit here!" Zhang Tianyuan was chatting with Xu Xu while looking at the wool, and suddenly heard a familiar voice.
He is a little unable to get his hands on it now, because there are too many things, so I want to see the excitement first, and then say, this wool buying is not a vegetable market to pick vegetables, not that you can pick a good pick early, this thing luck accounts for most of it.
Even if some people say that the so-called fate between wool and wool, it is nonsense, and it boils down to luck.
When he was leaving, he was stopped by someone, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was not an outsider, it was the boss Tong who sold him wool the night before.
Because he bought a piece of high-quality violet jade wool from Boss Tong, Zhang Tianyuan now feels that this person is a lot more pleasing to the eye, plus this person is also really sincere, compared to many profiteers he has seen before, it is really much better, so he smiled and said hello.
"Boss Tong, where are you setting up a stall here?"
"That's right, Brother Zhang is here today to buy the wool directly with the open label or the wool with the hidden label?" asked Boss Tong.
"Is there anything special about this?" Zhang Tianyuan was stunned, to be honest, he really didn't know what the explicit and hidden marks were.
When he just walked over, he did see that some wool was a little different, because it was marked with numbers, and some did not, and the wool that was obviously marked with numbers performed much better, and he thought it was the number of good materials, but when he heard Boss Tong talk about the secret mark, he felt that things were not so simple.
"Brother Zhang said with a smile, how could you not know about Lu Dao. Boss Tong pointed at Zhang Tianyuan and said with a smile.
"I really don't know what to say. Don't hide it from the boss Tong, I buy wool all by luck. In terms of eyesight, there is no way to compare with Brother Xiao or Master Liu. "Zhang Tianyuan has a benefit. That is, he will never pretend to understand, if he doesn't understand something, he will definitely ask, otherwise he will suffer at that time.
"Brother Zhang is humble. Boss Tong looked at Xu Xu on the side, thinking to himself whether this Zhang Tianyuan wanted to introduce this beauty through his own mouth, thinking of this, he didn't say anything else, and simply explained: "In fact, the so-called clear and hidden marks are a trading method in the gambling stone industry." Markers are those that do not have numbers. You can pick whatever you want, choose whatever you want, and pay for it on the spot if you like it. ”
"What about the secret mark?" Xu Xu really became a little interested, and asked.
"The secret bid is different, if you hit the secret bid, you can write down the number first, and then there will be an auction-like trade fair on the day after the end of the gambling stone conference, at this meeting, you have to bid according to the numbers. The higher you bid, the more yours it is. Boss Tong explained.
"So that's the case, no wonder I just asked a boss how much the numbered wool was, and he not only didn't answer. Laugh at me. Zhang Tianyuan was embarrassed in his heart, and felt that he really had to make up for this knowledge, otherwise he would make jokes in front of beautiful women. That's a bit of a misery.
The performance of the marked wool is not good. The odds of coming out of the green are not high, this is a reality. Because these merchants are thieves, they know that the auction method can double the price of wool, and make more money than selling it directly, so the wool that generally performs better is marked with numbers.
Although Zhang Tianyuan has touched his luck a few times, the wool with bad performance will also produce good cui, but that is not a regular situation after all, the real good cui is still more wool with good performance, otherwise wouldn't it be an insult to the wisdom of those gambling stone predecessors?
The skills of Xiangshi that people have worked so hard to sum up are not nonsense, but the experience that has been summed up through countless failures and successes.
……
"Boss Tong, you continue to do your business, I'll go around. Zhang Tianyuan has a good impression of Boss Tong, but his impression of wool is not very good, because he has seen most of Boss Tong's full-gambling wool that day, basically there is no emerald, and the asking price is still expensive, if you really want to buy it, it will be a big loss, so he is not willing to stay in Boss Tong's stall longer.
"Brother Zhang, don't you take a look before leaving?" Boss Tong rubbed his hands and asked earnestly.
"No, I've seen all your wool, it's not that it's bad, but I don't know the bottom of my heart, so let's go around and talk about it. Zhang Tianyuan didn't say anything too ugly, after all, he left a line for people, and it would be easy to speak in the future.
Seeing that Zhang Tianyuan was really leaving, Boss Tong hurriedly grabbed it, lowered his voice and said: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I won't tell you, I had another batch of goods yesterday, but they are all half-gambling wool, and I opened the door, are you interested?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan stopped, in fact, he didn't care about half a gamble or a full gamble, as long as there was good material in it, he was willing to take a look, since it was a new material, it didn't hurt to take a look, after all, among the few pieces of semi-gambling wool that Xiao Fengrui bought that night, there was a good jadeite, not the best, but it could definitely be earned.
"Okay, I'll take a look, where is the material?" Zhang Tianyuan asked, anyway, he is an acquaintance, he still trusts Boss Tong's character, and besides, he just goes to have a look, and he doesn't waste time.
The most important thing is that this is all indoors, even if there is a big sun outside, it is very cool inside, and there is nothing bad about walking around.
"Xu Xu, do you want to go with you too?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
"Well, I want to go see the excitement too. "Xu Xu is a girl who likes to be lively, and she is also a girl with a strong sense of curiosity, she has never seen anyone gambling on stones, and it is normal to want to see and understand.
"Let's go together, then. Boss Tong smiled: "It's not far, you see, it's over there." ”
About ten meters away, it was still Boss Tong's stall, and it seemed that all the goods were newly shipped, not what Zhang Tianyuan saw that night.
Boss Tong asked his men to help keep an eye on the stall, and then walked over with Zhang Tianyuan and Xu Xu.
Xu Xu couldn't help but ask: "This Boss Tong, if you wool merchants see others opening the best jadeite, will you be very jealous and distressed?"
"Ha Lu Ha. This girl is a good question, it would be nonsense to say that she is not jealous. But we wool merchants have our own rules. That is, never gamble on stones, only sell wool. Money comes from the wool, we often see customers gambling or gambling up, if every time we are jealous to death, then we can't live, girl, don't you say?"
Xu Xu smiled and said, "Really, you guys have a good mentality." ”
When he arrived at the wool stall, Zhang Tianyuan found that there were still a lot of people here, and a few people were judging it there, which was much more powerful than the aunt in the quarry evaluating the quality of a dish. All kinds of professional tools.
Even during the day, a shimmering flashlight is used, because some cracks can only be seen by the light of the flashlight.
Not to mention the magnifying glass, some people have specially prepared a bottle filled with water, do you think he is drinking?
No, use water, that is also to better identify the quality of wool.
To check the size of the crystals of the leather, it is not only intuitive with the naked eye, but also with water. The method is to remove the jadeite gravel after wetting it in water. See how quickly the water on the epidermis dries. If it dries quickly, it means that the crystals are coarse, the structure is loose, or the cracks and pores are many, and the texture is poor, otherwise, it means that the crystals are small, the structure is dense, and the texture is good.
Therefore, Qing Shui is generally always kept by the stone gambler. If there is a better one on the stall, they will also use the clean water they bring without them.
"Boss Tong, where are you getting these materials?" Zhang Tianyuan saw that there were many people in front of him. I didn't rush in, but asked.
"The old man who is serious will be stuck in the old pit. Boss Tong replied.
"Oh. It's not bad. ”
Huika is actually a transliteration. It is also translated as gray card, in fact, this is not important, the key is that everyone who gambles on stones understands, and that is enough.
The jadeite rough shell of this pit is variegated, mainly gray-green and gray-black, the transparency is different, and the bottom is unevenly distributed, but where there is green, the water is often better, and the jadeite rough is shown as a general color on the stone, and it is often opened, and the water color is very good in all aspects.
That is to say, the starting goods are very high, and there is a saying that the card lives up to people.
So the gamblers like to bet on it.
There are a kind of good jadeite rough stones, and there are also a kind of general, and the color is high and low. However, due to the low chance of containing impurities and fewer cracks, the probability of making a ring face is relatively large. If the flowers and materials are opened, they can't go up without rising, and this situation is not a small rise, but a big rise.
In recent years, the material of the black skin of the jadeite rough stone has risen a lot. Huika is a big market, and the stones that come out account for a very large proportion of the market. The distinctive feature of the stone is the wax skin, the pale green smooth shell, so it is called frog skin.
However, at present, the stones that will be stuck are mixed. The quality span is large, from useless bricks to crystal clear boutiques, and there are card stones everywhere. This adds a lot of difficulty to judging the quality of a piece of wool.
"The material of the card is good, but it is difficult to judge, because the wool produced by this factory is really good and bad, don't look at the good and bad performance, you may directly open a brick, not a penny. An old man who was squatting to look at the wool said as he stroked his beard.
These words were obviously said to Zhang Tianyuan.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled and did not refute, because he knew that the old man was telling the truth.
But Boss Tong couldn't help but refute, he hurriedly said: "This old man, take the piece of wool you see, look at this piece of jade, is it a big piece? This is in addition to jadeite, it is definitely a big piece, it is possible to earn as much as you want, and this green is so beautiful, it reaches the head of the ice seed, right? ”
The people who watched the wool around, heard that there were people discussing here, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement.
From the dialogue between the wool merchant and the gambling stone merchant, you can actually learn a lot of things, as long as you are willing to listen carefully, then you can basically do a little understanding, and a few times can probably be regarded as a small expert.
"I said that this boss, I still don't understand how to bully the old man? Have you ever heard of 'I'd rather buy a line than a piece?'" The old man was obviously an expert, and sneered at Boss Tong's words.
"Old man, what do you mean by buying a line rather than a piece?" Zhang Tianyuan also asked with interest.
In other words, the green part of the jadeite is more valuable in the form of clumps and bands. The old man smiled.
Zhang Tianyuan lit a cigarette for the old man, and it was still the good cigarette he carried with him.
"Oh, this cigarette is good, young people study hard, although gambling stones can not be earned with more knowledge, but it will not be wrong to learn more. The old man swallowed and smiled.
"That's that!" Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
Let's put it this way, because the green color after opening the door is often clumpy or linear when exposed to the epidermis, and sometimes it is flaky. When the green appears in a large area of flakes on the epidermis, it is mostly epidermal green, and its interior is often non-green, and when the green appears in a linear or clumpy form on the epidermis, especially when the green lines exposed on the epidermis are symmetrically distributed, its green will extend inward, even through the whole gravel. The value of the latter is naturally higher than that of the former, so there is a saying that 'I would rather buy a line than a piece', now you understand, right?" the old man took another puff of his cigarette and seemed to enjoy it.
"It's really teachable, so if you say that, it's likely that there is no green in this piece of wool, just a large piece of the surface?" someone asked.
"Hey, that's right, that's it!" (To be continued......)
