Owen saw that Li Du didn't know much about opals, so he took advantage of the appraisers' time to identify gemstones, so he called Li Du aside and introduced him to this gemstone systematically. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Du is very serious, the value of opal is very high, and this is a new way, he will not only find opal in the future, but also find other gemstones.

The appraisal took more than an hour, which is not a long time, and the average time for a gemstone is two minutes.

After the appraisal was over, Owen took over the appraisal report and began to set the price.

Before setting the price, Owen took a look at the opals, admiring each piece one by one.

Li Du said: "I thought you were tired of coming into contact with this kind of stone every day." ”

Owen shook his head and said, "No, no, no, my friend, if I don't love it, why am I still doing this job?" ”

He held up a piece of opal, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face: "You see, the pattern composed of color fragments here, each one is so unique, so wonderful, it's really magical." ”

"Just some impurities, isn't it?"

Owen said very seriously: "Of course not, this is a world, forged belts, straws, chaff, sea of flowers, lightning and flames, this is God's world. ”

He turned the opal in his hand, which was not the largest, but the reddest in color and the most realistic pattern inside, like a meadow, with some bright red protrusions, like flowers in the meadow.

The previous appraiser had already weighed and evaluated the full range of grading standards given by the International Gem Association, so Owen could have a straightforward price.

The stone weighed five hundred carats, or about one hundred grams, and was a fine fire opal, and Owen gave a price of half a million dollars.

Although he was prepared in his heart, when he heard that this stone was worth 500,000, Li Du's heart still beat a few times quickly.

500,000 is not much, he has earned 500,000 in the warehouse, but this is different from the precious goods in the warehouse, there is often only one such expensive goods in the warehouse.

But he still has more than 30 gems here, and in the national park not far away, there are not many gems!

Opal pricing is not an easy task, there are many factors to measure its value, there is no standard way to calculate its value in the world, which requires experience.

Owen doesn't simply state the price, he will tell Li Du why he has set the price this way, what has increased its value and what has reduced its value.

He also pulled out a thick album of fire opal patterns and prices that had been sold at auctions and jewelry stores around the world in the past two years.

Follow these pictures to compare the gems in their hands, give a base price, and then compare the advantages and disadvantages between the two sides, and adjust the price in the range of the base price.

In the end, the price had to be discounted, and Owen needed to make a profit, otherwise he wouldn't have eaten so many gems.

The main thing that affects the value of opal is imperfections, for example, there are obvious cracks on the surface that have little value, and opals with many fine cracks on the surface will also become worthless.

"This one has trachoma, which is formed by a mineral impurity, which affects the background of the gemstone, which leads to a decrease in value, and I think it is ten percent less valuable because of this?"

"Agreed." Li Du replied.

"Oh, this isn't good, opal line, look at this gray line, this is an opal line, and two bubbles. Sorry man, it's worth half the price. ”

"Forty percent off." Li Du thought about it for a while and said.

"Okay, listen to you."

In this way, the two sides continued to bargain, and the price of the piece of fire opal was finally released.

Compared with the appraisal process, the pricing process is much slower, and Owen is very fair in this regard, he does not simply quote, but gives reasons to convince Li Du.

In addition, some fire opals have already been priced, but if Owen thinks of something, he will overturn the price again and tell Li Du the reason.

This process will not only reduce the price, but also increase the price, in short, he tried his best to convince Li Du.

After all the thirty-five opal stones were priced, Owen took out the computer and began to calculate carefully, the highest value was 500,000, and the lowest was only 2,000, with a value difference of more than 200 times!

In the end, all the stones were worth $3,185,000!

This is not the final price, and there will be a 20% discount, which is 2.548 million yuan.

"Count 2.6 million and give it all to me, how about it?" Owen stared at Li Du and asked.

Li Du said happily: "No problem, this time it will be according to your price." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Owen's eyes jumped, and he rubbed his hands together and said, "You're a happy guy, Lee, I like happy people." So, we worked together for the first time, and I appreciate that you trusted me, so I have to show something. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "I know that you like to give red envelopes to good friends in Chinese culture, so I will give you another 20,000 yuan of red envelopes at this price, and I hope that every time you cooperate in the future, you can find me." ”

He was stimulated by Li Du's 'this time', which means that there will be a deal in the future.

If you have money and don't make money, Li Du happily accepted this red envelope.

Owen also took a lot of effort to envelop him, and he also gave Sophie a pair of earrings, fire opal studs.

The gems on these stud earrings are small but beautiful, and the lines inside are outlined into clouds that look like fiery red colors.

Sophie was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, what a beautiful pattern." ”

Owen laughed and said, "If you like it, this pattern is indeed very rare and clear." ”

This pair of studs will not be cheap, Li Du saw the pattern inside and asked: "If there is a sunset pattern inside, what do you think?" ”

"This is the sunset, the fire burning the clouds."

Li Du said: "I mean the real sunset, there are clouds, there is also the sun, and the sunset is half covered by the clouds. ”

Owen laughed and said, "That can't exist, there's no such thing as a coincidence." ”

"Let's take a guess." Li Du smiled.

Owen said: "You may know, man, different opals have different valuable patterns because of different colors. I can tell you that the sunset is the most valuable motif in the Fire Opal! ”

"What if there is a pattern like this in these stud earrings?"

Owen didn't think about it and said, "Then I can mark the price of the earrings for 50,000 yuan." ”

Li Du said: "The price is not high, is it because the gem is too small?" What if it was that big? ”

He gestured at the size of the sunset sky, "About eight hundred grams, so big, the texture is very clear, orange on the top and scarlet on the bottom." ”

Owen laughed again: "That can't ......"

"Let's take a look." Li Du insisted.

Owen said, "If there is a gem like the one you say, no one can put a price on it." I dare say that anyone who loves gemstones, if he comes across something like this, is willing to break the bank to get it! ”
