Chapter Eighty-Nine: First Arrival in Pingzhou
The next morning, the three of them packed their luggage and set off for Pingzhou, but since the three of them couldn't drive, they had to make a car to go there. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When it comes to Pingzhou Gongpan, everyone knows about the rights of jadeite, which is only a few dozen kilometers away from Yangcheng, next to another martial arts urban town, for more than ten years, it was first called the distribution center of the jade bracelet and became famous in the country, and then became famous for the continuous jade public plate in recent years, making it a holy place to create a jade myth.
As soon as the three of them got out of the bus station, they saw a middle-aged man holding a sign with Qiu Lin's name written on it, waiting there.
Qiu Lin stepped forward with his children and asked, "Is it Mr. Lin?" I'm Qiu Lin! ”
The man surnamed Lin is named Lin Luo, a director of the Jade Association, who was originally responsible for arranging the itinerary of important people in the association, and Wu Lao happened to be one of the most important people in the association. Before, Wu Lao said that he couldn't travel long distances because he was not in good health, so he couldn't participate in this public market, Lin Luo still had a little regret, after all, if he was lucky enough to let Wu Lao mention a few words, he would be of infinite use for the rest of his life!
A few days ago, Wu Lao called again to inform him that he would arrange a junior to participate on his behalf, hoping that Lin Luo could take care of it. This is a very normal thing in Lin Luo's opinion, many seniors will arrange for them to go out to see the world in order to take care of their juniors, but now the juniors are becoming more and more uncompetitive, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and they live up to the high expectations of the elders in the family.
Seeing the young Qiu Lin in front of him, Lin Luo was slightly surprised but not surprised, when the two contacted by phone, they knew that Qiu Lin was a young man, but when he saw that Qiu Lin really brought two female companions, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. The rich second generation is the rich second generation, and they will never forget to have fun wherever they go.
Lin Luo's disdain flashed, and then said, "Qiu Shao, hello! I'm Lin Luo, the hotel has already booked for you in advance, let's go first! ”
Qiu Lin noticed Lin Luo's flash of disdain, and didn't know where he made this Mr. Lin look down, so he followed Lin Luo into a business car with a depressed expression.
In the car, Lin Luo introduced: "Qiu Shao, the public market will officially start at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, it may be very crowded at that time, you can take this to the VIP channel to enter, there are few people there!" As he spoke, he handed Qiu Lin three VIP passes.
Qiu Lin took the three passes and glanced at them, and found that the names on them had already been filled in, and the photos of the three of them needed to be pasted, so that they didn't have to huddle together with others.
Qiu Lin thanked Lin Luo and said, "Mr. Lin, don't call me Qiu Shao, just call me Xiao Qiu or Xiao Lin!" ”
Lin Luo saw that Qiu Lin's attitude was sincere and not like a hypocrisy, and he felt a little more comfortable, the current rich second generation is mostly a generation of people who have no one in his eyes, and it is really rare to be so polite as Qiu Lin, it seems that Wu Lao's tutor is still very good, and there should be no trouble this time.
Lin Luo said: "Okay, then I'll call you Xiaolin, if you have anything in the past few days, you can call me at any time, I have a lot of things here, so I can't accompany you!" ”
Qiu Lin said: "Okay, Mr. Lin, you are busy, we can take care of ourselves!" ”
Soon Lin Luo took Qiu Lin and the three of them to the hotel, and then said goodbye and left. Qiu Lin didn't hold back, and it could be seen that Lin Luo was not very enthusiastic about him, if it wasn't for his good attitude, it is estimated that he would have excused himself to leave. And as a director, there are naturally a lot of things, and Qiu Lin can understand it.
After settling down, Qiu Lin and Xiao Chen wished Xiaoli to go out for a meal, and by the way, they asked the hotel owner if there was anything interesting nearby, and the hotel owner said enthusiastically: "I see you are here to participate in the Jade Fair, right?" If you want to say Pingzhou, it is just a small town developed, and there is really no fun place, but there is a place in Pingzhou that you really must visit. ”
When Zhu Xiaoli heard that there was something worth visiting, he immediately said excitedly: "Boss, what is the place, tell us quickly!" ”
Qiu Lin said: "The boss is talking about Pingzhou Jade Street, right?" ”
The boss was surprised: "I heard about it before the young man came, right?" Yes, it's Ping Chau Jade Street. It is the most distinctive and attractive jadeite and jade shopping place in South China, and tourists who come to participate in tomorrow's public market will basically go there to have a visit, so there should be many manufacturers who will sell jadeite rough on the spot today! ”
Zhu Xiaoli's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really? That's great! I've decided, squad leader, we're going there today! ”
Xiao Chen was also eager to try, Qiu Lin said: "Okay, let's go there today!" Asking the owner of the hotel for directions, the three of them decided to walk directly to the hotel.
In less than ten minutes, the three of them appeared at the door of Jade Street, and it really felt like a sea of people when they looked inside.
The three of them walked together, and the return rate was quite high, a man who was not handsome and had two beauties, one was light and handsome, and the other was dignified and generous, which was extremely eye-catching.
There were small stalls set up at the door, and there were dozens of bracelets, jade, and some things that looked like antiques. You must know that people who are interested in jade will basically be a little interested in antiques, so someone saw a business opportunity and set up a small stall here.
Xiao Chen knew that Qiu Lin had done some research on antiques recently, and when he saw the look of interest in Qiu Lin's eyes, he proposed, "Why don't we go to the stall over there first to see if there are any good things?" ”
Zhu Xiaoli was not interested in it at a glance, in her opinion, the stalls were all bargains and nothing good, even if she especially liked to go to the stalls to shop for clothes. But he couldn't bear to sweep away his friend's interest, so he said, "Okay, then take a look!" ”
Qiu Lin and Xiao Chen looked at each other and smiled.
The three of them walked to the stall, there were many jade ornaments and ornaments on the stall, and occasionally a few antiques were also obvious fakes or fakes, Qiu Lin was not interested in seeing a few stalls.
On the contrary, because it is the first time to visit this kind of stall, the two women are shopping with great interest, and keep asking the stall owner all kinds of questions, and the stall owner is also a new female customer, who doesn't understand anything but likes all kinds of shiny and colorful things, as long as you flicker so easily, you can earn hundreds or thousands, and it is not a problem to get tens of thousands of luck.
It's just that the two girls are not the kind of people who don't understand anything, they followed Qiu Lin around a few stalls, and after listening to the stall owner's price of tens of thousands of yuan for a jade bracelet, the interest of the two was only to ask questions and not ask about the price!
When Qiu Lin was finished, the two girls were stunned by the stall owner on a stall next door, and just as Qiu Lin was about to remind the two girls, Qiu Lin's eyes swept to a white jade Buddha statue on the stall, this Buddha statue gave Qiu Lin a very strange feeling, it was obviously a fake thing, but it gave people a very charming feeling.
Qiu Lin instantly launched his treasure eyes to shroud the white jade Buddha statue, and soon the projection of the white jade Buddha statue appeared in front of Qiu Lin's eyes, and after a little look at the bright eyes, Qiu Lin understood why the white jade Buddha statue had such a strange feeling.
Qiu Lin stepped forward to say hello to Xiao Chen and Zhu Xiaoli, took the jade bracelet that the stall owner strongly recommended to the second daughter, and said, "Boss, you want to sell such a jade bracelet for 5,000 yuan?" ”
The stall owner will not be frightened after a long time, and he must be an inexperienced rookie in front of a beautiful woman when he sees Qiu Lin so young, so the stall owner said with more confidence: "This little brother, you see that my bracelet is as pure as mutton fat, in our jargon, this is mutton fat white jade, mutton fat white jade, have you heard of it on TV?" Do you see that the color of my bracelet is very similar to mutton fat? Do you know what the price of mutton fat white jade is now? That's all about grams, my bracelet is less than 100 grams, the reason why it sells so cheaply is because my store is not doing well and closed down, and I take out the rest of the goods and deal with them at a loss. Otherwise, if this bracelet is less than 20,000 yuan in my store in normal times, you don't even ask the price! He sighed pretentiously as he spoke.
Qiu Lin just wanted to laugh when he saw it, no wonder he said that the story of the antique industry should not be believed, although the story made up by this stall owner is not very good, but it is reasonable, didn't you see that Xiao Chen and Zhu Xiaoli were moved by it!
Qiu Lin stopped the stall owner who wanted to continue to fool around and said, "Okay, boss." Don't take out your set and fool in front of us, I don't know how many stories you do business? You dare to ask for 5,000 for such a small bracelet, and it's almost the same as that jade Buddha! Qiu Lin deliberately pretended to be a layman and brought the topic to the Jade Buddha.
Originally, when I heard Qiu Lin's previous sentence, I thought that I had seen through the stall owner, but after hearing the latter sentence, I was a little crying and laughing, and the stall owner secretly said in his heart: I don't know where the second stunned person came from, but he actually judged the value by the size of his head. You must know that the things in this stall were only bought from a craft factory for 3,000 yuan. On average, the value of a thing is no more than fifty yuan, and it is profitable to sell any thing.
So the stall owner said: "This little brother, buying jade is not bought by size, but by its quality." If the quality is not good, the stone is worthless, and the good quality jade is hard to find. Besides, the value of my jade Buddha is much higher than this bracelet, so you should go to another house for 5,000 yuan! ”
Qiu Lin said with a little regret: "Then forget it, let's take another look!" I think the Jade Buddha would be worth it if it were five thousand dollars. ”
When the stall owner heard Qiu Lin's words, he instantly felt a pain in his flesh, and hurriedly grabbed Qiu Lin, who was about to leave, and said: "This little brother walks slowly, the price is negotiable, you see that if you add more of my jade Buddha, I will sell it to you!" ”
Qiu Lin glanced at him and said: "Forget it, I've seen a lot of you like me, usually when we go to buy something and want to leave, the boss pulls us and says that this thing is definitely not worth this price, so ah, your jade Buddha is definitely not worth five thousand yuan, you will hold us!" ”
The stall owner didn't feel embarrassed because Qiu Lin guessed correctly, they don't usually encounter this situation on that day, and besides, if you can recognize it, it is your eyesight, and if you can't see it, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
