Chapter 960: A Matter of Face
Although all kinds of counterfeiting methods are different, but invariably, as long as the stall is a good material, most of them have been processed, and the bloodstone that was originally good has been processed in a mess, and Zhang Tianyuan wants to scold his mother, and all the good things are wasted, which is simply a sin for people who like bloodstone.
There is a saying that no businessman is not a traitor, no traitor is not a businessman, Zhang Tianyuan feels that what he said is a bit too absolute, but now he feels that most businessmen are really like this.
Those villagers outside get stones, you don't care how poor the quality is, some of them are even really just stones, not bloodstone, but people are not fake, what it should be is what it is, put it there, it can be sold, and if it can't be sold, it will be used for other purposes.
But these merchants are different, they think they know how to counterfeit bloodstone, and in the face of some bloodstone, although there is chicken blood, but the area is not enough, their stupid greed has an effect, and the result is that the chicken blood, which may only be 10 percent, is processed into 30 percent, or even more than 50 percent.
Originally, it was only ten percent of the blood, as long as it was made into an ornament, it would be worth some money, but as soon as you faked it, you destroyed the original shape, and in the end it may be worthless at all, this is simply a violent thing, no wonder Zhang Tianyuan will be angry, he has never seen such a stone, and his heart seems to be stuffed with a ball of cotton.
It's like a rat poop thrown into a good pot of soup and completely ruined. And if you want to buy it, it's not easy to buy it, because the price of such stones is quite expensive, and these people sell their fake stones as if they were high-grade stones. The price tag is basically in the hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
"Alas. Whoever sues me in the future that Changhua Bloodstone is not fake, I am really anxious with him. It seems that 95% of people buy 95% of fakes with 95% of their money. Zhang Tianyuan sighed, he had to admit that the cost of some fakes is still very high, and only a small number of people can distinguish it, even if they are experts, sometimes they will look away.
When such a stone enters the market, I really don't know how many people will be pitted, it's too pitted, it's too pitted. Fortunately, I have a six-character formula, otherwise, if I come to Changhua Town once, I don't know how much money to throw directly.
"What's the matter, husband, doesn't your face look very good?" Liu Mengxun saw that Zhang Tianyuan's face was not very good, and asked with concern.
"Well, it's almost lunchtime, I'm a little hungry, why don't we go back to dinner." I'm not in the mood to continue looking at the stones today. Zhang Tianyuan sighed, today he first encountered Tang Gongzi's provocation, and finally drove that kid away, but now he has encountered so many fake bloodstones. The original good mood is also gone, so it's better to go back and have some food, and just accompany Liu Mengxun. Anyway, half of his purpose of coming to Changhua this time has been completed, and he bought nearly a ton of bloodstone in the village before. The texture of these bloodstones is not too good, but it is more than enough to be used as ornaments. After being transported to Shangpu, it can completely solve the urgent need, but this is just an expedient measure, according to Zhang Tianyuan's idea, to really solve the problem of bloodstone, there is another way, that is, to send people out to buy those carved bloodstones.
Not only bloodstone, but also Chang fossil and hibiscus stone can also do this.
Turning waste into treasure is his specialty of mending words, and these things that are acquired back, as long as they are repaired by mending words, their prices will inevitably rise, and after re-carving, there is definitely most of the profit that can be earned.
Collect the rags?
What's the matter, it's right that we collect the rags, but the rags that are recovered can be turned into treasures.
A better bloodstone, once the carving fails, then its value is not as good as the original stone, assuming that the original stone is worth 100,000, after carving out, it is estimated that there are only 50,000 or 60,000, or even 10,000 or 20,000, after the acquisition, first repair with the word supplement, and then re-carved and sold by the master carver, the price may instantly rise to a million, or even more, this business is definitely cost-effective.
Of course, he has notified several senior managers of the HRE Group to discuss the implementation of this idea, after all, he has opened his mind, it is easy to come up with an idea, if you really want to put it into practice, you still need to do a lot of investigation and research, whether it can be implemented, many things need to be investigated, and he can't decide in one sentence.
"Okay, it's afternoon time now, I see that the boss is not in a good mood, because this side is at the foot of the mountain, it gets dark early, and the light may not be very good later, and it is not suitable for identifying bloodstone, go back." The old shopkeeper also agreed with Zhang Tianyuan's plan.
Because the old shopkeeper is not angry in his heart, although he does not have Zhang Tianyuan's six-character true formula, but this eyesight is not bad at all, so a lot of fake stones, he recognized them after carefully looking at them, which led him to often be happy and sad.
Originally, when I saw a piece of bloodstone of good quality, I thought I had picked up a treasure, but when I looked closely, it was a fake bloodstone, so it was just once, but three or four times in a row, no one would be in a good mood.
"Zhanfei, go and greet Brother Wang, if he wants to go back, he will go back together, if you don't want to go back, continue to flirt with that girl. Among these people, the best mood is probably Wang Siyuan, this thing seems to have forgotten the original promise to Zhang Tianyuan, not to do anything between men and women within a year, and the chat with the sweet-looking girl is very hot, and their laughter can be heard from afar.
"Who is that girl?" Liu Mengxun asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, anyway, Wang Siyuan's ability to pick up girls, your husband and I can't catch up with the horse, you can rest assured of this, I guess it's a college student who came to travel. Zhang Tianyuan shrugged his shoulders and said.
"It's really strange, I see that she has been sitting there all the time, and she doesn't look at the stones, and no one has called her, could it be just waiting to catch a golden beetle son-in-law like Wang Siyuan?"
"Hmph, it's still an immortal jump. Zhang Tianyuan smiled, but didn't pay much attention. In his mind, Wang Siyuan has a lot more to do with women than him. Immortals are probably not afraid of this kind of thing, and they can also distinguish it lightly. So he didn't have to worry about it.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Wang said that he won't go back to eat today, and there are some things that can't be separated. Zhan Fei said after coming over.
"Okay, forget it if he doesn't go, let's go, Uncle Mu seems to have already closed the stall over there, his stones are already few, and we will soon sell them out of the same way." It's a quick time to close the stall today. Zhang Tianyuan saw that at the gate of the market, Uncle Mu was waving at them, and the unhappiness in his heart was simply thrown aside, so let's go back to eat happily, I can't change this kind of thing like bloodstone fraud, what to do with those idleness, it's completely unnecessary.
When everyone was walking from the market to Four Seasons Villa, Lao Mu had already called home. Let the meal be prepared, it is still Lao Mu's son Chef Da Mu, this chef used to be a chef in a five-star hotel, and later his family opened this Four Seasons Villa. Just come back, no matter how good you cook outside, you're just cooking for others. When you go to your own store, you are the boss. Well done, not only for yourself to grow face. You can also add guests to your own Four Seasons Resort, which is the best of both worlds.
"I said Uncle Mu, don't go up the mountain to pick up stones in the future, it's dangerous and hard, you're old, it's time to run the Four Seasons Villa well, Brother Mu's cooking skills are amazing, I will help him promote it well after I go back, and if there are friends who come here to travel in the future, I must let them come to you to eat." ”
When eating, Lao Mu is still a companion, he has made a lot of money today, in fact, thanks to Zhang Tianyuan's unintentional help, to be honest, if there is no sale of those five stones, his stones will not be sold so quickly, so he naturally wants to toast Zhang Tianyuan at the dinner table, Jin'er This meal is also very rich, not only those dishes from yesterday, but also some game that can only be eaten here.
Even if Zhang Tianyuan was in a bad mood and had a bad appetite, he tasted it with relish and praised it.
"Yes, it's time to give up and continue to toss, I'm getting older and older every year, and I really just need to make this Four Seasons Villa good in the future. By the way, today's matter, I also want to thank you Boss Zhang, if it weren't for you, the business on my stall would not be so good, the five stones could only be bought for about 100,000, and in the end they were sold for 150,000, and there are a few stones behind, the original estimate was only one or two thousand, but they were all sold for fifty or sixty thousand, and the average price of each piece of bloodstone was three or five times higher than previously expected……”
In fact, with Lao Mu's current net worth, only more than 100,000 yuan, it is really nothing, his gross income in the Four Seasons Villa is millions a month, and he still cares about so much money.
But for him, it's not just a matter of money, it's a dream of his, the piece of Changhuatian Huangshi he sold at the beginning is a record in this village, he has always wanted to sell such a high-priced bloodstone, but he has never succeeded, since then, he has sold the most expensive stone is 100,000, and just once or twice.
This time is different, although the highest price of a stone has not broken through before, but the total price is much higher than the price of those stones before, if you count it all together, this is also a lot of money, especially in today's era of scarcity of good bloodstones, it is really rare to be able to make such a business.
Even many guests who live here give Lao Mu a congratulations today, this is the so-called face, and it really doesn't have much to do with money.
"Uncle Mu, that has nothing to do with me, you have to thank you, you should thank the wronged Tang Gongzi, alas, in fact, if he doesn't faint, maybe you can make more money, that kid is bent on raising the price with me, hahahe......"
As soon as he mentioned Tang Gongzi's matter, Zhang Tianyuan's mood suddenly improved a lot, because he thought of the 10 million that Tang Gongzi lost to him, and that 10 million was not a matter of money for him, it was a matter of face. That Tang Gongzi wanted to rectify him, but in the end he was reversed, this money must be obtained, otherwise, it would be too cheap for that kid. (To be continued......)
