Chapter 234 [Under the Precious Stone with Chinese Characteristics]

After admiring all the stones and playing with them, I reluctantly put all the stones back into the original box. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough the brass locks have been scrapped, Yang Yong locks these small wooden boxes with his own special locks.

Then Yang Yong took Smith to the hotel's restaurant for a big meal, and the next morning, Yang Yong got up early, opened all the wooden boxes, took out a more representative sample of the characteristic stones in each wooden box, and then took a taxi with Smith after breakfast to appear in Chinatown in downtown Philadelphia.

Philadelphia's Chinatown is home to tens of thousands of Chinese and is the fourth largest Chinese community in the United States.

Chinatown, where there is a Chinese population, has gold shops, gem shops, jewelry stores, antique shops, these shops with Chinese roots.

Yang Yong's purpose here is to find a gem identification expert, who is also a master of the collecting world, to help him identify whether these most precious old pit jadeites and bloodstones found are treasures, and what is the price of these stones.

Although Yang Yong doesn't plan to sell them, he can't just put these precious stones in the underground vault to eat ashes! Therefore, Yang Yong wanted to find out the value of these stones and dispose of them properly, so Yang Yong found some experts who knew the goods to identify the value of this stone.

At about 10 a.m., Yang Yong and Smith appeared at the entrance to Chinatown in the center of Philadelphia, where there was a magnificent Chinagate street, and most of the pedestrians walking on the street were Yang Yong's most familiar faces, and they were also Chinese Americans who had settled in Philadelphia.

Although Yang Yong is a native of the Chinese United States, he has been exposed to American culture, and he has learned American English since he was a child, but Yang Yong's parents are authentic first-generation immigrants. Yang Yong's mother is a college student, so at a very young age, his mother taught Daniel Zhang to learn Chinese characters and speak Chinese, and Yang Yong's current Chinese level is still relatively easy to understand the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

I also know a part of China's history and culture, so it is more reliable to find a new shop in Chinatown that makes jade, at least without the help of a tour guide.

Most of the shops in Chinatown are built along the street, so Yang Yong took Smith and walked around the street of Chinatown with a trolley suitcase, looking around at the plaques on the storefronts, looking for his target.

Not to mention, after turning two streets, what catches your eye is a relatively old street, and the shops next to it are all retro forms, although you can't say that the pavilions and pavilions, but there are still one-horned cornices.

All the storefronts are decorated with antique, and the plaques of the shops are also made of solid wood, although the fonts on the plaques are all even pens, Yang Yong looks a little difficult, and you can still tell what this store is doing if you carefully identify it.

This retro shopping street is all about antique business, including jade business and jewelry stores, which is exactly what Yang Yong is looking for. Although today is not a Wednesday holiday, the crowd on the street is still bustling and very lively, and the business of various shops is relatively hot, Yang Yong chose a large jewelry store called Zhenbao Zhai.

The business area of this large jewelry store in Zhenbao Zhai has reached two floors, and there are a lot of tourists in five or six hundred square meters, and the staff wearing uniforms has reached more than a dozen.

Jumbo Zhai does have Chinese characteristics, operating some silver jewelry, gold jewelry, and all the other side of the booth are all with Chinese characteristics, all kinds of jade jewelry, jade jewelry.

Yang Yong did a careful investigation on the counter, and carefully observed the various jewelry with Chinese characteristics in the window, these jade and jadeite looked dazzling and oily.

But there is no way to compare with the best Hetian seed jade materials in his hands, as well as those old pit jade, the difference is not a matter of a few grades, but a world of difference between the two.

It can be said that Yang Yong can take out a fist-sized Hetian seed jade casually and sweep the jade display table of the entire Zhenbao Zhai, seeing this, Yang Yong feels more disappointed, the risk of Zhenbao Zhai fooling tourists with these defective products, such people are dishonest in business, and it is not worth taking out these treasures for them to identify.

So Yang Yong shook his head and looked at the weaving tourists, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, these elated tourists walked into the treasure house to buy more expensive jade jewelry, but who would think of the treasure treasure to take those defective products to fool them.

Although he looked at these tourists pitifully, but he didn't stop them, Yang Yong's idea was very simple, after being on the file twice, these tourists would naturally become smarter.

It's whimsical to stop them now, and if you don't have a good heart, you will be scolded by these tourists, scolding yourself for being nosy, Yang Yong doesn't have the habit of being pointed at by others, so it's better to leave here quickly.

Then walk forward more than 40 meters and there is a jade shop called Gu Fang Zhai, and the lively scene of Zhen Bao Zhai just now, this Gu Fang Zhai jade shop is much smaller than the street, and it is very old and decorated, and few tourists will notice this small shop.

The staff inside is only a Chinese beauty in her twenties who is sorting out things in the back of the kitchen, although this Gu Fangzhai is not popular, but in Yang Yong's opinion, the various products inside are real jewelry made of top jade.

And each piece is expensive, but it looks like it is great value for money, the owner of this ancient recipe is a conscientious businessman, although the jewelry sold is expensive, but each piece can be called a boutique, genuine.

Yang Yong is looking for such an honest person to help him identify the market value of the things in his hands, and what kind of level are these things at? Whether they are all the best jade as judged by themselves.

Seeing the scene of this jade shop named Gu Fangzhai, Yang Yong's eyes lit up and smiled, and walked into Gu Fangzhai with a blank Smith, and the little beauty who was cleaning inside saw that there was business coming to the door, and walked out of the counter enthusiastically to Yang Yong with a smile and bowed, and said sweetly.

"Welcome to the Gu Fangzhai Jade Shop, sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Seeing that the other party was so well-cultivated and so polite, Yang Yong was more interested in Gu Fangzhai's boss, and when he heard the little beauty's question, Yang Yong looked around and said with a smile.

"Beauty, your Gu Fangzhai business is very cold! Is it selling some fakes, and they were reported by others, so they are so depressed. ”

What Yang Yong said is really hateful, this is looking for a beating, so he has his own purpose? Test whether the other party is honest and reliable, whether he can control his mouth, and don't talk nonsense.

Although Yang Yong is not afraid of things, he doesn't want to cause trouble, he has a lot of treasures in his hands, Yang Yong doesn't want others to take him as a target, and he also wants to test whether Gu Fangzhai's people are worthy of his trust. (To be continued.) )
