Chapter 64: The Golden Silk Emerald
"Brother, don't you follow the rules?" Kong Si couldn't stand it anymore, "Playing this business, you have to pay attention to the first come, first come, first come, my buddy is looking at the wool, what do you mean by being so sideways?" ”
"It's your business!" Yi Xiaofang was worried that he had no excuse, so he rushed forward this time, pointed at Kong Si and scolded.
"Holy!" Kong Si took a step forward and was about to do it, Wu Chen hurriedly grabbed him, this has gone deep into the hinterland of the market, although it is extended in all directions, but the flow of people is large, it is easy to start, it is difficult to get out, even if you want to do it, you have to do it in this market.
"Boss, I'll pay 600,000! If this guy wants 1.2 million, give it to him. Thinking of the green jade, Wu Chen was a little helpless, and shouted out his full worth, but he actually didn't have any bottom in his heart, and this amount of money was estimated to be a fraction in the eyes of the other party.
As for why don't you shout a price, that Liang Shao under the pit, he is not so brainless, in case the price is finished, that Liang Shao regrets not following the price, where can he find so much money?
Sure enough, Liang Shao snorted lightly and said to the boss: "That's it, I want it." Although he is arrogant, he is not a reckless person, although he didn't look at this piece of wool carefully, but he believes in Uncle Mo's vision, this is the old man of the company, the old man trusts him very much, besides, even if he crosses it, what if he crosses it? Looking at Wu Chen's poor and depressed appearance, he felt a sense of satisfaction, this is the superiority of the class!
Although the boss of "this ......" was happy in his heart, this price was far more than the price in his heart, but he still looked at Wu Chen with some embarrassment on his face.
This Pingzhou jade market is extremely standardized, the government, industry associations, chambers of commerce, market management, and so on a large number of people are in charge, that is, these shops and vendors are also very conscious of maintaining their reputation, although adulteration and counterfeiting are always unavoidable, but there are really few people who dare to break the rules on the surface, today this thing is not big or small, in case Wu Chen complains about himself, it is also a trouble, he does not have the face of Liang Dashao.
"Hehe, it's okay, the one with the highest price will get it." Although Wu Chen was depressed, he was still very sensible, clapped his hands, and said to Kong Si: "Let's go." Kong Si stared at Liang Guanghua coldly, turned around and followed Wu Chen.
"Hmph, what a thing! Pauper! Yi Xiaofang laughed very proudly, Liang Guanghua was not so comfortable, he was glared at by Kong Si, and felt that the murderous aura was approaching, and there was a panic in his heart, but he had always been arrogant, so he naturally would not show it.
"Is that broken stone really worth that much money?" The two walked out, and when they arrived at the exit on the other side of the trading center, looking at the heat outside, they didn't want to get out of the city, Kong Si asked Wu Chen suspiciously.
A broken stone the size of a football actually costs more than one million, and he wondered if Wu Chen deliberately cheated those two goods, this kid looked honest, and he had a bad stomach, it was because he was not sure, so he didn't be too radical just now.
"Hehe, that's a good material, don't break the stone and talk nonsense here, isn't this pointing at the nose and scolding." Wu Chen didn't think there was anything, market economy, supply and demand determine price, and price determines transaction, although this feeling of being "robbed" is really not very cool, but the law of the jungle has been the same since ancient times, if you want to ensure your own rights and interests, you can only make yourself stronger, he is not the kind of person who does not recognize reality and only cares about complaining.
Now is not the time to be depressed, so let's hurry up and find out if there is anything missing. After the last experience and just now, he is still quite confident in his eyesight, the only deficiency is that the knowledge of jadeite and gambling stones is still not enough, go back and accumulate it slowly.
There is a large wool shop on the left side of the exit, there are many people picking and choosing, Wu Chen and Kong Si also walked in, and found that the space in the store is larger, there are several rows of simple large wooden shelves with stones of different sizes, and the ground in several corners is also full of stones, and there are cutting and grinding machines of different sizes on both sides, which looks a bit like a library.
In the middle of the store, there is a large wooden coffee table, which is full of kung fu tea sets, and a young man who looks like a boss is dripping tea leisurely, as if he ignores the customers who look at the wool around him, and only when others ask, he nods and smiles and answers a few words.
This leisurely situation, not to mention Kong Si, even Wu Chen was very envious, thinking that when he had money, he would also open a wool store like this, free and easy, and not too idle and panicked, much stronger than being half-dead in the unit, I didn't know what Lu Dao was doing after resigning, but now he seems to have found a direction, and he is suddenly full of motivation and leaned over.
"Hehe, just look at it." When the young man saw that someone was coming again, he raised his head and smiled, and behind him was a row of wooden shelves, on which were placed more than a dozen stones, which should be better wool. Kong Si walked over and saw that many of them were cut into a small piece, touched a piece and asked Wu Chen, "This is half a gambling material?" ”
"Hehe, two new entrants, right?" Getting closer, the boss made tea, turned his head and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I haven't been in contact with it, I don't know much, I'm here to visit with my brother today." Kong Si was timid when he saw it, and he didn't pretend to be B, "I'm a straight-mouthed person, if there is anything inconsiderate, I hope you don't be surprised." ”
"Hehe, where. Come, have a cup of tea. The boss was very happy to see Kong Si straight, beckoned the two to sit down, and chatted for a while, it turned out that the boss's name was Xia Ziming, who was a person from Chaoshan Yangmei, and the family specialized in wool, and the business was relatively large, and the family business was mainly in Yangmei, and the business was done on the Pingzhou side, he was the second in the family, and he was sent to be in charge of the business here.
Xia Ziming learned that Wu Chen was also an old family, very affectionate, chatting while drinking kung fu tea, Wu Chen saw that the tea was good, and praised it, Chaoshan is famous for phoenix single lichen, and there are also Lingtou single cilans at the low grade, but there are also people who are used to drinking the big red robe of Fuhai Province, anyway, they all belong to the oolong tea system, Xia Ziming is actually very diligent and hardworking, but he is the second son, who was "distributed" here according to the tradition, and usually drinks tea alone, and now Wu Chen chatted with him, and he was suddenly refreshed.
After chatting for a while, Kong Si asked Xia Ziming for advice on gambling stones, it turned out that there is no machine that can see through its interior so far this jadeite wool, so it all depends on luck and experience, and the experienced can guess its internal structure from its pit mouth and epidermal characteristics, but it is also a matter of probability.
Generally, the gambling stone is divided into two kinds, which has not been touched at all is called the whole gambling material, like the back of these cut a piece of the window, grinding off a little stone skin of the rubbing stone, but whether it is open or wiped, it is to expose the jade inside, raise the price, this is called half gambling material, generally grasp the relatively large wool will be treated in this way, otherwise open the window, nothing, but not as good as the whole gambling material is valuable.
"What are you gambling on when you see the texture inside?" Kong Si was very unimpressed.
"That's not necessarily, just say that this piece of wool, don't look at the incision is already green, it looks like the water is also good, but who knows what is going on inside the road? I still have to bet, but I just bet on the planting and size of the jadeite inside. ”
Xia Ziming said while pointing to the gambling stone that Kong Si had touched just now, "Besides, everyone plays differently, like you, you only play occasionally anyway, you like to gamble, and you can determine life and death." Like those who make jewelry, there is a rigid demand for raw materials, so they prefer these half-gambling materials. ”
"Well, yes, it's like an antique, like Wu Chen, a dick like to go around the stall to pick up leaks, although the probability is small and the risk is high, but once you pick up the leakage, the benefit is also large. Wealthy people who are engaged in collecting or museums prefer those large auctions, which are extremely expensive, but the probability of encountering fakes is much smaller. Kong Si immediately drew inferences from one another, and by the way, he damaged Wu Chen.
"Hehe, Brother Xia, let's just talk about this, how much does it cost?" Wu Chen didn't care either, and still used the half-gambling material to ask Xia Ziming for advice.
He had just quickly looked at the piece of wool, and knew what it meant to be a half-gambling material, in addition to rubbing out a patch of green, and then it was full of broken white and green waste, who bought it was unlucky, but I had to admire the one who opened the window for this stone, he was definitely a master!
"This one?" Xia Ziming pondered for a while, in fact, he was very familiar with these dozen or so good materials, but the habit of being a businessman made him think about it for a while, but seeing that Wu Chen and the two of them didn't look like rich people, they shouldn't have taken a fancy to this piece, anyway, it's just to chat, it's okay.
"This piece is very good, looking at the window, if there is still green inside, it should be a gold wire species, and then look at the pine flowers on the stone skin, from beginning to end, there is a great possibility of a large piece of jadeite inside, and it should be no problem to take out the whole piece of material to make a few pairs of bracelets, if you estimate it, it will be about two million."
Wu Chen took a breath of cold air, is this still called half gambling? He studied finance, and applied the valuation method like Xia Ziming, I am afraid that this piece can only be made into a few small pendants, and it is good to sell tens of thousands! Kong Si raised his own question: "This looks like it's obviously green, how can it be a golden silk species?" "As the name suggests, the golden silk species must be yellow or brown no matter what.
"Hehe, the golden silk species is just a name for the texture of jadeite, and it has nothing to do with gold. Refers to the bright emerald green of jadeite into a filamentous distribution, that is, the so-called 'color into filament', and is divided into silk, messy filament, filament, etc., if there is black stripes associated with the emerald green, it is also called black filament, which is parallel to each other, and it can be clearly seen that the green is intermittent along a certain direction, of course, the green strip can be thick or thin.
Generally speaking, the ground of the gold wire species should be transparent or translucent, the texture is fine, and the cracked cotton grain is less, if it is specifically identified, the mineral crystal particles of this jadeite are slightly coarse, and the crystalline outline of the column or granular can be identified by the naked eye, and the sound of striking the raw material is a metallic brittle sound. ”
Xia Ziming asked Kong Si with a smile, and patiently explained to them: "The quality of the golden silk jadeite depends on the color of its green bands and the proportion of green bands, as well as the thickness of the texture. The color strips are thick, the green filaments are thin and dense, the proportion of the area is large, and the colors are relatively bright, of course, the value is high, on the contrary, the color bands are sparse, or the green filaments are intermittent and light-colored, and they are much cheaper. ”
As soon as he said this, Kong Si's face turned red, and Wu Chen also laughed a few times, but seriously, this kind of exchange has made him gain a lot of knowledge. At the moment, I also humbly asked for advice, it was difficult for Xia Ziming Although he didn't gamble, he had been doing this business for a long time, and he worked hard, but he also knew a lot, and the three of them chatted while drinking tea, and they were happy.
