Chapter 79: Buying Jade with a Wronged Boss
Huaiyang cuisine is one of the four major cuisines in the country, and its main characteristics are: strict material selection, fine knife work, and outstanding main ingredients...... Wait a minute. Now Qiping is conditional, so of course you need to taste this authentic Huaiyang cuisine. This is also because I returned to China, which is the most authentic Chinese food.
Although Qi Ping can cook a little home-cooked side dishes by himself, his level is limited to home-cooked side dishes; As for the Chinese food in those Chinese restaurants in the United States, Qi Ping thought it tasted very weird anyway, and he couldn't eat anything.
Signature Huaiyang dishes such as stewed crab roe lion's head, three sets of duck, and crystal meat have also been tasted by Qi Ping in the past two days; Anyway, for Qi Ping, this is a worthwhile trip, and he may have earned it this time. Chinese food culture is broad and profound, and the dishes of all major cuisines may not be liked; But Qi Ping also knew that if he really had the opportunity, he would definitely go to the mountains and rivers to taste these real delicacies.
Not only Chinese food, but also some American food, French food and the like Qi Ping also felt the need to try; As long as there are conditions, Qi Ping will try. This is also part of enjoying life, so that Qi Ping will not wronged himself.
When you are full of food and drink, you naturally have to do serious things; Qi Ping's time is still very tight, on the one hand, he wants to purchase jade, and also because he has to go back to his hometown. Of course, he also knew, and Kate must be missing him now; Not only because the two have just established a relationship, but also because Kate is also a little difficult to take care of King Kong.
In a hurry, these are some of Qi Ping's thoughts now, although he does like these delicious foods very much, but Qi Ping also knows that now is not the time to eat all the delicious foods. It's worth smiling at to be able to eat a little food in his busy time, and once he lingers here, it's a matter of sacrificing his roots.
Continue to seek jade, this is what Qi Ping needs to do now.
"It's really unlucky, I think the quality of this batch of jade seeds is average, and I haven't heard of really good jade." Qi Ping followed that Boss Zhao to an exchange meeting, which can be regarded as the circle where high-end players are, and the jade seeds in his hands are also some jade seeds with better performance.
"That's not what you said, that guy spent more than two million yuan to open such a material, and it is estimated that he will lose a lot. To say that good jade is indeed there, but it is too scattered and broken, and it is not worth much. Listening to the whispered exchange of these people, Qi Ping's eyes suddenly lit up.
For Qi Ping, he doesn't necessarily need jade materials that perform particularly well; It doesn't matter if it's a little scattered, as long as the quality of the jade is okay.
"Boss, can I see your piece of jade?" Qi Ping is a person who will be moved when he thinks of it, and he will act more; found the protagonist who was thought to have lost a lot, and Qi Ping was also eye-catching.
Qi Pingcai didn't know what the outer skin of the seed jade was, he just saw the fist-sized jade seed epidermis covered with tiny sand eyes like skin pores, like an uneven hemp skin pit, this is the original skin of the sand hole hemp skin pit in the jargon.
Although this piece of seed jade is of little value to many jade merchants and collectors; It makes sense to say that the seed material is an oval type formed by the mountain material that has been washed into the river for many years due to the movement of the earth's crust, but there are many seeds with the phenomenon of symbiosis of half stone and half jade.
Now this seed jade is like this, there is a certain amount of jade, but more of a stone; The most important thing is that these jade stones are not formed and do not form a scale, but there are some small jade stones scattered on this stone that look like they should be of great quality.
Qi Ping's eyes lit up, he didn't understand what kind of jade those jade merchants liked; However, according to Qi Ping's research on those formations during this time, the jade in his hand now is suitable for Qi Ping's needs, because he has a very good aura. It's really not as good as the batch of jade I picked up at the beginning, but it's not much worse.
"This jade is good for the array, although it can't be completed in a large array, it can also be arranged up in a small array, if it is matched with some jade, Xiaohu can basically meet the requirements." Qi Ping calculated, this piece of jade is really good; With such a piece of jade, Qi Ping felt that he had definitely made a lot of money when he returned to China this time.
"If the little brother likes it, take three million, you can also see it, this is authentic mutton fat white jade. The internal exchange meetings on our side are all good goods, authentic Hetian jade. Seeing that Qi Ping was playing with this piece of jade, and seemed to be very satisfied, the middle-aged man spoke.
"Three million?!" Qi Ping scoffed a little, although he was very young and it was the first time to enter this internal exchange meeting, but this did not mean that Qi Ping was wronged.
This piece of jade, so to speak, except for Qi Ping's likes and needs, other businessmen are definitely unwilling to take over.
At the price of three million, the middle-aged man who lost dared to speak; was originally a piece of lost jade, at this time, I was not thinking about reducing the loss as much as possible, but thinking about pitting people, which is really a typical character who doesn't shed tears without seeing a coffin. Of course, it is also natural for businessmen to pursue profits; The sky-high price is on the ground to repay the money, which is also the market.
"At most, 500,000, you know what kind of performance your piece of jade is, and I don't believe that anyone is willing to take over." Qi Ping handed the jade back, even if it was the first time he came into contact with the industry; But Qi Ping also knew that bargaining was a matter of course, especially when someone treated him as a wronged leader, Qi Ping was even more unlikely to be polite.
a fierce bargaining, including this middle-aged man's repeated advocacy of the world's unparalleled seed jade and tearful sales; Qi Ping was still unmoved, what Qi Ping needed now was to get this piece of jade at a low price as much as possible. Even if the middle-aged man snorted and criedly said that if he lost the bet this time, maybe it was because his family was ruined or something, but these sympathies Qi Ping would not give, the shopping mall was like a battlefield, and Qi Ping would not waste his money.
In the end, the transaction was sold at a price of 1.1 million, and the middle-aged man recovered some losses as much as possible; And for Qi Ping, he also received a very good piece of jade, although this is some chicken ribs that seem tasteless to the experts and are discarded, but for Qi Ping, the value of this jade is still very large.
Qi Ping was an instant hit, in this small circle of communication; Most people know that this young man is not bad for money, and his taste is very unique. It looks like a layman, but he has a certain level; In fact, such people are better off, because they are easily self-righteous.
"Boss Qi, look at my piece of jade." A burly man with five big and three thick squeezed out and took out a piece of jade like a treasure.
"No, the quality is too poor. I do need jade, but it doesn't satisfy me at all. First of all, it's best to say Hetian jade, I don't care about the size, but I care about the quality. Qi Ping glanced at it and shook his head, although it looked like a large piece of jade, but for Qi Ping, such a jade was basically a stone.
The burly man scolded and walked away, he thought that Qi Ping was illiterate; It is true that the quality of this piece of jade is very average, but it is big, and it is still very marketable and potential as a low-end jade with a little processing. Even if it can't be rich overnight, such a piece of jade has a price of hundreds of thousands!
Qi Ping is constantly researching, and he is also discerning; Qi Ping suddenly felt that he had now become a well-known star in the industry, which might also be beneficial. Although it is regarded as a wronged leader, it is really trouble-free; Because some jade is constantly being sent to Qi Ping, some jade that may not be expensive in the eyes of experts.
Once again, he received a piece of jade, for a price of four million; The performance of this piece of jade is very good, it is relatively complete and very aura, this is a piece of jade that is also very valuable to connoisseurs.
For Qi Ping, he made a lot of money; Harvested two pieces of jade that could become the eye of the array, and received a lot of business cards, opening a good circle of jade exchanges, which of course made Qi Ping very happy and proud, and it seemed that it would not be a problem to find jade in the future.
The triumphant Qi Ping suddenly found that after buying two pieces of good jade at the level of the array eye, plus two pieces of 'leftovers', he had already unknowingly spent more than a million US dollars. This also made Qi Ping suddenly have a headache, and this time his pocket was basically empty again, at least the loan was almost spent.
It's not easy to make money, but it's easy to spend.
"Forget it, I'm an investment, and I'll definitely be able to earn it back in the future!" Qi Ping can only comfort himself like this, in fact, every time the money is not enough, Qi Ping says so.
