Chapter 40 The Jade Trading Market

In the afternoon, Li Le and several people began to make a big purchase, daily necessities, as well as Xinjiang's characteristic carpets, tapestries, etc., all the supplies that need to be purchased, Li Le will not be stingy.

Among them, Ran Hongling purchased the most, watching the room become beautiful and warm under the decorations, Ran Hongling's face gradually showed a satisfied look.

As for Li Le, there are no special requirements for the room, and a simple decoration can be done.

For an afternoon, Namoyi basically took them around, and the little girl was not too tired, and she seemed full of interest.

Dinner was prepared by Namoyi, saying that she had eaten Li Le at noon, and she must invite them to eat in the evening, which is also a custom of the Uyghur people.

Looking at the thick pot of thin naan on the table, as well as milk tea. Everyone seemed a little curious.

One after another, the little girl served a lot of special dishes, although the color is not as bright as that made in the restaurant, but the tempting fragrance is particularly authentic.

After bringing a basin of pilaf, the little girl finally brought another basin of water. He then motioned for everyone to start washing their hands.

Li Le was the first, and he said to everyone while washing: "Don't shake your hands after washing, this is the custom here, just dry them with a hand towel." In addition, the bowl is pilaf, remember not to put it back when you catch it, and don't leave any leftover rice grains on the table......"

As he spoke, everyone did as he pleased, and listened attentively.

But when the little girl saw Li Le say this, she smiled sweetly, "Brother Li, do you know the customs of our Uyghur people? ”

"I've been here before, so I know some!"

At this time, the old man opened his mouth to say a few words, but Li Le couldn't understand the words, so he looked at the little girl.

"My grandmother said that you are honored guests, let you eat and drink well today."

"You thank your grandmother for your hospitality and say we're glad to be here today."

Because of the barrier of communication, my sister-in-law became a small translator. The crowd also came to eat in the midst of small talk.

Although Namoyi's age is young, her skills are quite good, and the dishes are full of flavor and authenticity. Ran Hongling and Hu Shu, who provoked her, praised her vigorously, and the little girl blushed and was a little embarrassed.

But the joy in her eyes, and the fact that she could see that the dishes she made were happy for everyone to eat, made her very happy.

The little girl's grandmother was old, and her ears were a little difficult, and sometimes she had to translate two or three times before she could hear clearly. However, this atmosphere made Li Le not feel bored, but gave birth to a faint sense of warmth.

People need a sense of home wherever they go, only the feeling of home will make him willing to stay here, willing to take root here, and the harbor of the soul is more important than any material feeling.

Maybe it's because for a long time, it's been two people living together, and it's never been as lively as it is today. The old man seemed very warm and hospitable, and kept chatting with Li Le, asking long and short questions, looking kind and kind.

At the end of the meal, the table was already clean, and there was no food left. Although they did not drink, everyone was a little drunk, not drunk, but drunk.

In a foreign land, such a place far away from home, how can there be such a warm hospitality, can have such a long and leisurely time, how can it not be intoxicating.

After chatting with Liu Yunyao as usual in the evening, Li Le fell asleep sweetly.

When he got up the next morning, he didn't see Xu Changqing, who was in the same room with him. Walking out of the courtyard and seeing the slowly waving figure, Li Le also consciously joined his team.

At this time, due to insufficient conditions, there were no stones to practice carving knife techniques. Therefore, Li Le finished practicing the breathing method with Xu Changqing and ended his morning exercise.

After two days of carving knife practice, he prepared for two days and began to prepare the stone. In Yudu, the source of the development of Hetian jade, such a thing will definitely not be lacking.

Because today was Friday, and it happened to be the opening time of the nearby jade trading market on Gamai Road, after everyone got up one after another to have breakfast, Li Le took them and set off there.

Before entering, Li Le first found a bank to withdraw nearly one million yuan in cash to do jade trading, and the cash was the most direct at this time.

In fact, the peak period of the trading market starts in the afternoon, but Li Le still chooses such a time period.

First, the main purpose of coming to this place is to lay the foundation for Ran Hongling and Hu Shu, and secondly, it will be easier to do the morning transaction. Because the people who buy and sell jade here advocate a good start, which means that they absolutely want to make the first business, even if it is cheaper than the price, it doesn't matter.

Entering the market, there are not many people opening stalls at this time, and the flow of people seems to be a little sparse.

But Li Le was not in a hurry, so he took a few people to walk around slowly. Walking to a stall, Li Le stopped. Then he looked at the jade on the stall.

The types of jade on this stall seem to be a little messy, there are all kinds of materials, and they are placed in different categories, but the quantity is enough to be, and the quality is also okay.

The stall was set up by a man in his fifties, who looked like a local and was dressed very distinctively. What caught Li Le's attention the most was his hands, which were rough and full of abrasive calluses.

Such a pair of hands can only be found by long-term jade miners, and the large number of jade stones in the stall also shows that this person is an experienced veteran.

"Boss, which piece do you like, the business that opens in the morning will give you a little discount."

"Let's see." After Li Le finished answering, he began to measure.

As he looked over, pieces of jade were also picked out by him and put aside, and they were divided into three categories, which was very organized.

The first type is basically small pieces of stone, egg-packed, with a smooth surface and different skin colors. The other one is larger, and one is angular.

After continuing to look at a relatively small oval jade, Li Le directly placed it separately. After selecting about eighteen pieces one after another, Li Le stopped and stopped picking.

Then he asked the owner of the stall: "That's all, you help me calculate." ”

"This piece is 1000, this piece is 2500 ......" the boss dictated the price one by one, looking experienced and experienced.

Although these things are big and small, veterans like them can basically estimate the weight of the weight as soon as they pass it, and at the same time, they can quickly calculate their value.

After all, the current era is not like that of later generations, and the crazy Hetian Yu has finally fallen to the level of calculating, so there is no need to be so precise.

I have been in this business for so long, from the initial price to the future generations, I know very well what the price is every year. In addition, after carving for a long time, the weight of a piece of jade in his hand is also almost the same, so he also has a price in his heart for the value of these things.

At this time, the price of Hetian jade, the price of seed material is about 18,000 to 20,000 kilograms, the price of mountain material is about 4,000 yuan to 6,000 yuan, and the price of mountain water is about 8,000 to 10,000 yuan. Half a year later, such a price will rise, and it will basically double directly next year. In the future, the growth rate will only get faster and faster, and the gap between the seed material and the other two materials will also get bigger and bigger.

Eighteen stones, not much, after a while, the boss calculated the price, and then said to Li Le: "A total of eighty-three thousand, you will be charged eighty thousand." ”

Because of the first business, Li Le was so generous, and he picked it up to eighteen yuan, so the boss directly let three thousand, which seemed very crisp and very happy.

But after Li Le heard such a price, he shook his head. Then he said: "The other prices are okay, these few pieces, you calculate according to the price of mountain materials." ”

Looking at the few egg-shaped stones that Li Le picked out from a pile of stones, it was obvious that he had just jumped out of them and placed them alone.

When the boss heard this, his face also froze, obviously understanding that the person in front of him was not so easy to fool.

Then he didn't say anything, and counted the stones again according to the price of mountain materials. Then he said, "A total of sixty-six thousand, you can give sixty-five thousand." ”

"Sixty thousand, I don't bargain much when I open the business."

"This is too much worse, boss, see if you can give more, give sixty-three thousand."

"It's 60,000, the first time the business is doing well, I will come again next time."

After a moment of hesitation, the boss finally nodded. Selling nearly 60,000 pieces of jade at once is also a very big business for him.

The price of 60,000 yuan of jade is indeed expensive, but the weight is not heavy. Li specially got a leather bag, and put it in just a bottom.

As soon as they made a move, it was 60,000 yuan, but in exchange for such a few pieces of jade, Hu Shu and Ran Hongling also saw what is called a Zheng Qianjin for the first time. This small bag is already nearly worth a house in their hometown.

And the process of the final sudden reduction of 20,000 just now also made them very curious. Ran Hongling was the first to hold back, and not long after leaving the stall, she asked Li Le, "What happened to those stones just now, why did they suddenly reduce the price so much?" Isn't that seed? ”

After studying with Li Le for a while, she still knows the main characteristics of several materials, and she can distinguish them from the obvious appearance.

Li Le smiled slightly, and replied: "At this time, you just have to watch the process of my transaction, and I will talk to you in detail when I go back." ”

Subsequently, Li Le visited a few more stalls, and when he met a suitable one, he would choose some. Two hours later, Li Le's bag was filled with nearly half a small bag of stones. And the one million that was taken has basically disappeared by half.

"Let's go, let's go back, and come back in the afternoon."

With Li Le's greeting, several people walked back. At this moment, there are no more than 500,000, which makes the two people who laid the foundation secretly embarrassed.

I have never been in contact with this industry, and I never thought that such a small jade would be so expensive. At the same time, all this made them feel very novel, and they were staring intently at the process of trading.

I watched it, but the doubts in my heart were also growing, and there were many things that they didn't understand, and he didn't say anything if they wanted to ask Li Le. At this moment, my heart is like a cat's paw scratching, which is really uncomfortable.

Until Li Le returned to the house and entered the room, the two of them followed behind, and they had no intention of leaving.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Li Le couldn't help but feel a little funny, and then took out all the jade stones he bought and put them on the table one by one, and then turned into two piles.

"One person, one pile, first divide, one material and one category."

Hearing Li Le's words, the two also stepped forward and began to subdivide. Time passed little by little, and both of them seemed to be very attentive, and a stone had to be pondered for a long time before it was put down.

After the two of them were about the same, it was already half an hour later.

"Divided?"

"Almost."

"Hmmm! Take a look. ”

During the process of separation, Li Le has been watching their movements, and he naturally knows everything about their mistakes.

Hearing their answer, Li Le's hands moved quickly, and then quickly subdivided the stone again. At the beginning, in front of them, they were basically divided into three categories, and four piles appeared in Li Le's hands. And some are a mix of pebbles and large stones.

Seeing Li Le separated like this, the two couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts. Then they all looked at him in unison.

Just as Li Le was about to speak, a small head suddenly appeared at the door, officially Na Moyi's little girl.

Looking at her curious eyes, Li Le couldn't help but say, "Na Moyi, come in." ”

When the little girl heard Li Le's words, she suddenly flashed her figure and jumped into Le Le's room.

"Brother Li, have you bought so much jade?"

"Well, do you like jade too?" Thinking that the little girl's grandfather was a jade picker, he couldn't help asking.

"I like it, when I was a child, my grandfather often showed me jade and explained it to me, I don't know anything."

Hearing this, Li Le's heart suddenly moved, and then mixed the pile of jade into a pile again, "Na Moyi, can you help me separate this pile of jade according to seeds, mountain materials, mountain water and other materials?" ”

"Okay!"

As she spoke, the little girl stepped forward, and then quickly observed. I saw pieces of jade quickly divided into piles in the little girl's hands, and the speed was quite fast, much faster than Hongling's two.

At the same time, Li Le's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and the smile on his face is getting stronger and stronger.

He watched the little girl's movements in their entirety, and the materials were basically correct, except for a few pieces or two. It seems that the little girl really hadn't learned less from her grandfather before.

His original intention just now was to bring the little girl into the industry, so that the little girl could get out of the business of doing that small business, and he could take care of her when the time came.

And now this move makes him want the little girl to follow him more and more, and train a little, which is definitely a powerful helper.

After picking out the two stones that the little girl had made wrong and putting them in the right place, Li Le spoke: "Sit down and listen, although the stones I have selected today cannot summarize all of them, they basically contain the regular categories. I have also told you a lot of theoretical things, but practice is the fastest growth platform, so today I will tell you how to start the transaction with Tian Yu. ”

As he spoke, Li Le first took out an oval jade from the mountain pile, which was one of the few pieces that had dropped by 20,000 yuan when he bought and sold just now.

"You also saw it just now, I said that this stone should be calculated according to the price of mountain materials, and the people didn't say anything in the end. Indeed, it looks like a piece of seed material, but it is a drum material cut from mountain material. ”
