Chapter 697 The eyes of the fish are mixed, and the stones are green
"Don't worry too much, it's true that this place is a little dilapidated, but my company also has its own stall here, and no one wants to renovate it after so many years, and I'm afraid that if the store is built here, it will charge a high rent, so everyone guards their stalls, even if it rains to build a shed, now the kind of canopy like an umbrella is very convenient, this place has to have a history of thirty or forty years, much older than your age, but you can't look down on it, sometimes it's this kind of place out of treasure." 。 ”
Yang Yaoshan smiled at Zhang Tianyuan and said: "Let's go, let's go, let's not come here to find a place to live, don't look at the poor environment in this place, but there are not a lot of good jadeite, glass species, imperial green, purple eyes, blood jade red jade, gold jade have all been produced, there are many backpackers here who have become rich overnight, it depends on the eyesight and luck, but your brother should not be a problem, your eyesight, but it is admirable." ”
Zhang Tianyuan doesn't dislike this place is rotten, there may be a golden phoenix in the poor ravine, the meat of the bun is not on the folds, you can't always look at the appearance when looking at the problem, there are many image projects in China, you just look at the outside is glamorous, but the inside is not.
Maybe it's the opposite.
When he came here, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but think of the fact that the villages near them had taken the bricks dug up from the Qin Tombs and the Terracotta Warriors to build toilets, because he didn't understand. There are a lot of jadeite merchants here, who didn't know that the jadeite could still be sold for money in the past, but they just thought it looked good, and brought it back to their homes to build houses, toilets, sheepfolds, etc., who would have thought that these things. Now it's more expensive than gold, and it's become an out-and-out treasure.
"Brother Yang. I don't have any change on me, so you can put ten dollars in it for me." ”
When the two of them walked to the door of the trading center. Zhang Tianyuan noticed that there was a box at the door, similar to the coin box on the bus, and the merit box in the temple, and it also said "ten dollars for admission" in Chinese and English, he had never been here, so he didn't know what this ten dollars was, whether there was an invoice or not, anyway, the people in front of him threw it in, so let Yang Yaoshan help him vote. Because he doesn't have any change in his hand now, if he had known, he would have gone and gotten some change first.
"Vote for nothing, no. Yang Yaoshan waved his hand, signaling Zhang Tianyuan not to worry about that, just go inside.
The two soldiers saw Yang Yaoshan, looked at Zhang Tianyuan again, and saw that Zhang Tianyuan was with Yang Yaoshan, so they didn't say anything. Someone in the back also tried to sneak in, but was stopped and had to put in ten dollars to get in.
Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. Sometimes it's really ten dollars that stumps the heroes, and they all say that the country is corrupt and corrupt, but in Zhang Tianyuan's opinion. Myanmar is simply not corruption, this is simply black. It was so dark that even Zhang Tianyuan was a little emotional.
Things at the airport, plus things here. As long as you have a relationship, everything is easy to do, and you don't have a relationship, then you have to act according to other people's unspoken rules, otherwise there will be problems.
Yang Yaoshan patted Zhang Tianyuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, human beings are intelligent animals, they are social animals, they are the same in any country, and with a relationship, everything is easy to do." Many people believe in impartial law enforcement, just right, hum, that's just a ridiculous idea that will appear because of naivety or because you haven't seen it, relying on relationships to do things, the West and the East are the same. This ten dollars is actually a protection fee, which is not excessive, after all, buying rough stones here, it is considered smuggling, if something happens, someone will notify you, you spend these ten dollars, it is equivalent to buying yourself an internal response, you can buy stones with peace of mind. ”
"I see, I think most of the people here are Chinese, isn't it an illusion?"
After entering the trading market, Zhang Tianyuan found that here you can hear the Yunnan-Guizhou dialect, hear the Dongguang dialect, and hear the fluent Mandarin, but the local Burmese dialect, which he doesn't hear very much.
This made him a little surprised, and he dared others to say that the Burmese jadeite was bought by the Chinese people, which was not wrong at all. Many people who have nothing to gain in the Myanmar jade public plate will come here to take a walk when they return to China, maybe they can choose a few pieces of their favorite material, and there are some people who do not have enough money to buy the material on the public plate, and the tax is too high, so they want to play smuggling, such small smuggling, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to find out, unless you bring too much, then it will not work.
"This is not an illusion, it is estimated that ninety percent of the people here are Chinese, and Myanmar's finances are basically supported by the Chinese. After Yang Yaoshan heard Zhang Tianyuan's question, he replied with a smile.
The key is that basically no one will take care of it, many people want you to smuggle it, they are selling it anyway to make money, after the thing is sold, as for whether you are detained or caught, it has nothing to do with them.
In the market, there are jadeite wool, jadeite rough, as well as jadeite jewelry and carvings, the quality is also uneven, if there was no six-character truth before, Zhang Tianyuan's eyes were black, it is estimated that the things here are very good, all good.
But now that he really understands, he sees some shoddy things, which really makes him feel very uncomfortable, especially some jewelry, which is very rough, not only the workmanship is poor, but also the style is not trendy enough, and what makes him speechless is that some very good jadeite has been ruined by those inferior carvers, and people are distressed to see it.
Zhang Tianyuan really can't wait to pull out the people who are messing with these materials and walk them on, so that they can also know how shameful it is to waste jade.
It's a pity that this matter can only be thought about in his heart, he can't really beat others, although he has Yang Yaoshan by his side, but if he doesn't know how to bring trouble to Yang Yaoshan in moderation, it will not be good for anyone.
Of course, the finished products on the shelves make Zhang Tianyuan rarely dissatisfied, but the full gambling and semi-gambling wool on the ground still have to be seen.
Maybe it's because these things were used to build sheepfolds, toilets, etc., Zhang Tianyuan could smell a stench, and there were very few materials for half-gambling. And it was obviously not deliberately cut or grinded, but because the stone was accidentally broken. As a result, the jadeite inside was exposed.
In general, something here. It is still a lot more wool for the whole bet, basically accounting for more than 90 percent.
Everyone understands that the risk of gambling on wool is also the highest, because you can't see what is inside, and you can only analyze and infer it based on experience and knowledge in books, which makes the risk of gambling stones much greater.
But in this way, the enthusiasm of many buyers is still very high, they are either squatting or standing. is bargaining with the stall owner, some people are talking about blushing and thick necks, while some people are talking about elation, giving Zhang Tianyuan the feeling that this place really has to fight with the vegetable market. ”
"Brother, can you understand Mandarin? How much is this piece of material, give a price?"
Zhang Tianyuan saw that a stall was empty and there was no one, so he walked over, and the wool list on this stall was not very good. However, it should come out of the old pit, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that even if it is the material from the old pit, it may not be good material.
He crouched down and asked the man. The boss was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, a little older than him, and it should be easier to speak. In his mind, since most of the guests here are Chinese. The stall owners here must also speak Chinese. I just don't know if I can speak Mandarin, after all, there are too many dialects in our country.
"Who dares to do business here if you don't know Mandarin, your vision is good, this material is very good, my grandfather dug it out of the old pit in the past, 100,000 US dollars." ”
This young man was also a little excited when he saw Zhang Tianyuan asking for the price, after all, the material list on his stall was not good, so it would be good to have a guest, so his excitement was understandable.
Zhang Tianyuan was directly suppressed by this person's asking price, this piece of material, there is emerald in it, but even if it is all solved, it is only about 10,000 yuan, of course, this refers to the US dollar, the other party actually asked for 100,000 US dollars, do you look like the kind of idiot with the word stupid on his head?
Ordinary backpackers may buy this thing, but it is estimated that the bid will not exceed 10,000, not US dollars, but RMB, this person asks for such a high price, they will definitely not buy it.
If he wants to change Zhang Tianyuan, even if he can't see through it, this kind of material is the price offered by backpackers, maybe it will be less, and it is estimated that if it is ruthless, it may be a few hundred yuan to take down this material.
Hearing that the man's bid was so outrageous, Zhang Tianyuan didn't even have the heart to look at it, anyway, he just asked about this thing, if the price was right, he would buy it, the price was so outrageous, he didn't even have the interest in counteroffering.
"Brother Zhang, you are also a businessman, you should know how to ask for money on the spot, why did you give up all of a sudden. In fact, these people are asking for a price with their mouths open, he asks for 100,000 US dollars, and you pay 10,000 RMB, which is no problem at all, the business will be done, and if it is not successful, it will not be done, but I estimate that it is more likely to become. Yang Yaoshan laughed, seeing that Zhang Tianyuan was directly frightened by 100,000 US dollars, he would inevitably laugh, who could see that Zhang Tianyuan was a billionaire.
After all, Yang Yaoshan often comes here, and he is very clear about what is going on here, this is the same as many people selling clothes, sixty yuan clothes directly ask for six hundred, you know how to bargain, just open a hundred for him, that can be done, if you don't know how to bargain, he is cheaper than you 100, sell 600, you still think you take advantage of it, but in fact, it is a big loss.
This is the sky-high asking price, the sky-high asking price that has no bottom line.
Hearing Yang Yaoshan say such things, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had suffered this kind of injustice when he bought clothes before, and it took more than 500 yuan to buy a hundred yuan of clothes. Later, when I went to buy clothes, I simply brought someone who was familiar with this line of work to help buy them together, otherwise I would lose money for others.
Of course, now he is not afraid, after having the six-character formula, he doesn't need to ask someone to accompany him when he buys clothes, as long as he sees the clothes, he knows how much the clothes cost.
He stood there and looked around, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, although it was said that there were a lot of materials in the old pit, but there were no good ones, some of them were really mixed into the wool, specially used to pit those who didn't understand the wool, some people took the stones and pretended to look at them, and praised them again and again, and Zhang Tianyuan was dumbfounded.
"Don't be upset, let's go, go up to the big brother's stall and take a look, the material there is quite good, although the big brother's vision may not be as good as yours, but it's not bad. (To be continued......)
