Chapter 166 Asking for a price, sitting on the ground to pay back
"Red and green and emerald purple are precious"!
These seven words must be the most common words on the lips of people who love jade, in the world of jadeite, there is definitely not only green, if you have such a misunderstanding, then, you will miss the same beautiful varieties in the world of jadeite.
"Violet" is a unique variety of jadeite, is with its elegance, intellectuality and moisturizing, gradually attracted the attention of the world, especially female consumers, it is like a "raised in the deep boudoir people do not know" of the lady, today finally "keep the clouds open and see the moon".
In fact, Zhang Tianyuan is lucky, because most of the people who played jadeite at the beginning respected green and rarely cared about other colors, and now jadeite of various colors has also become a good thing, especially red and purple, which may not be lower than the green jadeite, and the red and purple jadeite of the ice species is also the same high-end atmospheric grade, not to mention the royal purple of the ice species.
China does not produce jadeite, and it is recognized that jadeite is transmitted to the country from Myanmar, and when it was introduced into the country, there is no unified statement, but the mainstream view is that it was introduced in the early Qing Dynasty, and it became popular in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
The first is the prevalence of jadeite in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty court made extensive use of jadeite, such as the ceiling and hat inlay, the pearls, seals and other physical objects, jade ruyi, bonsai, bottles, Guanyin and other jade objects.
Then during the Qianlong period, jadeite ornaments were used in large quantities, and a pair of "plum blossoms" bonsai used 46 jadeite.
Among the funeral objects of the Empress Dowager Cixi are a large number of jade ornaments, such as the magic wand, Buddha, jade watermelon, cabbage, peach, etc.
After the founding of the country in 19.49, the jadeite processing industry developed faster and created many masterpieces. Such as the four national treasures: "Qunfang Range Rover", "Jubilant of the Four Seas", "Daiyue Wonders", "Fragrant Jurui Flower Smoke".
One of the most beautiful jadeites in the world is a heart-shaped jadeite set in the buckle of the king's belt when the king of Iran was crowned in 1967. Approximately 175 carats. The largest piece of jadeite in the world, weighing 33 tons, was discovered in 1982 in the jungle of northern Myanmar. After reform, reform, opening and release. Jadeite and other gemstones are increasingly entering the lives of ordinary people.
From green jadeite, red jade to violet jade, and then to other colorful jadeite, jadeite seems to have gradually become a favorite thing for ordinary people, which is why the jadeite market is so hot today.
Zhang Tianyuan had never been in contact with violet jade before, so he didn't know much about this thing, so he pretended to ask casually: "Brother Xiao, I heard that jade is purple in addition to green and red, is this true?"
"Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"Because I suddenly remembered my girlfriend's confession. said that this time he came to the gambling stone conference, it was best to get a violet jade back, he liked the noble temperament of purple very much. Zhang Tianyuan replied very calmly and decently.
"Well, there is indeed a jade like violet jade, and the evaluation criteria are similar to that of green jade. Xiao Fengrui nodded.
"Is there an auction of violet jade jewelry in the world?" Zhang Tianyuan asked again: "I think this gambling stone is not very reliable, who knows what is inside the road, so I plan to see when there is an auction and take a jewelry for her." ”
Xiao Fengrui shook his head and said, "Don't do this. The bubble at the auction is too serious, the price is too vain, for example, if you say that the jadeite is only worth two or three million, it can give you tens of millions. Not long ago, at a charity auction in New York, USA. There are a bunch of violet jade bracelets, which belong to pink purple, and the texture is not too good. However, it was auctioned for a high price of 2.6 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 16 million RMB. ”
"So expensive!"
"yes. In fact, if you want me to see, if that thing is not bullied. If you trade privately, it would be good to have two or three million RMB, but Westerners like that violet jade. Xiao Fengrui sighed.
After listening to Xiao Fengrui's words, Zhang Tianyuan's hand shook uncontrollably, fortunately it was under the table, so it was not discovered, otherwise it would definitely be seen by these old foxes.
He smiled and said, "Xie Lu, thank you, Brother Xiao." ”
"Nothing else, right?" Xiao Fengrui asked.
"It's not for the time being, you can continue to negotiate the price, I'll take a look at it. Zhang Tianyuan's heart was nervous at this time, a heart seemed to be pinched and then let go, pinched and then let go again, constantly making a violent beating sound, he was really afraid that his heartbeat would be heard by others.
However, he has also seen the world, and he has seen hundreds of millions of "Pingfu Posts", so he gradually calmed down.
After pouring a cup of tea, he no longer looked at the wool, but slowly tasted the tea, as if he had no interest in the wool.
In fact, the children's boss was observing Zhang Tianyuan, and he found that Zhang Tianyuan was not interested in the wool, and he was also disappointed, thinking that this kid was also treacherous, and his vision was ruthless enough.
But he didn't know that Zhang Tianyuan was calculating the value of this piece of wool at this time.
This is a very large piece of wool, when the bodyguards got it from the outside, it was pushed by two people with a small cart, and looking at the volume, it was at least as big as a 40-inch TV.
The wool is large, not necessarily the jadeite is big, but this piece is different, he clearly saw that the jadeite in this wool has a part about the size of a basketball, showing the color of royal purple, which is the best purple that only exists in theory, plus it is an ice species, this value is immeasurable, and the remaining jadeite is the size of a football, the color is slightly worse, it should be red and purple, but even so, the ice red purple is still the best.
In the middle of the white mist, there is a relatively small piece of jadeite, showing a pinkish-purple, this is relatively small, only about the size of three tennis balls, but although this color is not as good as the royal purple and red purple, but it is a better glass species, which immediately raises its value.
According to this calculation, Zhang Tianyuan can at least get about 20 catties of ice royal purple, about 15 catties of ice red purple, and about 5 catties of glass pink purple.
Because of the relatively large size of these jadeite, it is very suitable for both ornaments and jewelry. There are a lot of options, if there are bare pieces or flower pieces made by a master master. Then its value will probably increase.
To put it bluntly, after the violet jade contained in this piece of wool is made into a finished product. It shouldn't be a problem to sell for nearly 200 million easily.
Although for Zhang Tianyuan now, hundreds of millions of RMB is not an astronomical amount, but what he has and the antiques or jadeite and jade that have been sold, there is only one thing that really goes into the hundreds of millions, that is, "Pingfu Post".
Nearly 200 million, this is a huge shock for him anyway.
Gambling stones can make you go to heaven or let you go to hell, and now Zhang Tianyuan understands the truth of this.
If he doesn't have a six-word formula. I'm afraid that he will really watch this piece of wool being bought cheaply, and now he really has to thank fate for giving him this magical six-character true recipe, so that he can discover such a treasure. It's just amazing.
Gambling stones come so fast, it's really much faster than antiques.
But he can't be too excited now, if he is too excited, it will be easy to show his feet, that boss Tong is an old fox, once he sees that there is something wrong with him, he will definitely find out.
And Xiao Fengrui and Liu Jinglin are also not idle people, although everyone is friends. But Zhang Tianyuan is not so generous, if it is just something worth millions, he can do a favor, but this is a good thing worth nearly 200 million. If the carving is really successful, it will become the fifth jade national treasure.
You must get your hands on it, but you must be calm. Don't reveal your true intentions.
Zhang Tianyuan secretly admonished himself.
Just as he was thinking about how to tell Boss Tong, Xiao Fengrui's voice suddenly became louder: "I said Boss Tong." It's not the first time we've done business, you're so unauthentic. Do you have to let Brother Liu pick out the faults of your wool one by one? ”
Boss Tong said with a sad face: "I said Boss Xiao, just because I am an old customer, I already want it very cheaply, you see, you have chosen a total of fifteen and a half gambling wool, I only need you 30 million, is this more? ”
When Zhang Tianyuan heard them talking, he leaned over to take a look, it turned out that Xiao Fengrui and Liu Jinglin had already picked out a few pieces of the original twenty or so pieces of half-gambling wool, and only fifteen pieces were left.
He probably took a look at the one that was picked out, and he couldn't help but give Xiao Fengrui and Liu Jinglin a thumbs up, these two people's vision and ability are really good, and the few pieces that were picked out are basically without emerald, only one piece contains emerald, but the value is definitely not enough for one million, and it is not cost-effective to spend two million to buy it.
Look at the fifteen pieces of wool on the ground, if it is 30 million, it is really not expensive, because among the fifteen pieces of wool, there are as many as seven pieces of emerald, of which there are two, it is estimated that if you make jewelry, it is not a problem to buy about 20 million, and the remaining five pieces together can also have about 10 million, and this transaction will definitely not be a loss.
But then again, this doesn't mean much to Xiao Fengrui, because Xiao Fengrui doesn't cut stones, he doesn't care about the quality of the things inside, he only looks at the door opening, that is, how well he performs after opening the window.
Because outsiders buy half-gambling wool, what they see is the performance after opening the door, and they can't judge the quality of the jadeite inside.
Gambling stones are often based on gambling colors, betting on positive colors. In addition, there are those who gamble on the seeds, which should be good, old, and lively; those who gamble on the land are fine, watery, and clean; and there are also those who gamble on cracks, fog, and ringworm. It's hard to gamble well, so people say "nine out of ten bets lose". How to gamble exactly? It is mainly achieved by rubbing (rubbing the epidermis), cutting (cutting the rough stone), and grinding (pondering from the outside in).
The half-bet wool of the open door bets on the color, that is mainly to look at the green color of the incision, the wool selected by Xiao Fengrui, the obvious color is high-quality, but the key problem is that this is just a window, what is the cui inside, no one knows the road.
But Xiao Fengrui didn't care about this, he just cared about the green of the incision, or the green after rubbing, as long as the color was good enough, and the performance of the stone skin was excellent, it was enough.
"Boss Tong, you should know what I do, I bought these wool back to wait for appreciation, you want me so much money, do I still have a profit? Don't be afraid to say, if you really cut all these half-gambling wool, can it be worth 30 million, it's really hard to say, if you let a price, I will buy it, and your business will be done, do you really think that how many people can afford to buy half-gambling wool at tomorrow's gambling stone conference? Like me, so crazy?" Xiao Fengrui said again.
If he wants to make money, then he can't buy it at the original price, it's the same as if you buy goods, if you buy goods for about the same amount as you buy goods, then what else do you earn?
"And what price do you say?"
"Fifteen million, fifteen pieces of wool, if you agree, we will make a deal, if not, then forget it." Xiao Fengrui said.
This is really a sky-high price, and you can pay it back on the ground.
One costs 30 million, and the other directly gives 15 million, which is a direct cut in the middle.
"That's not going to work, absolutely not going to do it, unless ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless you buy the few pieces of wool you picked out, and give me 20 million. Boss Tong said.
"You're really an old fox, I'm picking out those pieces for what, to put it mildly, I don't care if there's anything in there, I'm not sure, but their performance is really bad, even if you sell it to someone else for a hundred thousand, others don't need it." Xiao Fengrui sneered. (To be continued......)
