【099】Where rookies come in
Xia Clan Ancestral Hall, the name of a street in Zhongxing District, Lanjiang City.
During the Republic of China, the Xia family was the first family in Lanjiang, and later because of the war, the family fell into the middle of the road. The old mansion and ancestral hall of the Xia family used to be the symbol of the Lanjiang River, until the four old periods were destroyed, and most of them were destroyed. Later, the relatively well-preserved Xia family ancestral hall became the city's cultural heritage, and the street where the Xia family ancestral hall is located was named Xia Family Ancestral Street.
After entering the new century, the collection fever was set off in China, and Xiajia Ancestral Street gradually became the most lively antique market in Lanjiang. This is a place of miracles, walking here you can often hear whose grandmother's bracelets sold for hundreds of thousands, whose ancestors fed dogs on plates worth millions, whose lard jars are authentic Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain.
Almost all the domestic antique market is full of such legends, as for whether there is such a thing, it is difficult to say.
These rumors of getting rich overnight attracted many citizens who had a little surplus at home to devote themselves to the collecting world, and also attracted a natural shooter, who was very excited.
This is the typical beginner mentality, who doesn't understand anything, and when he hears those false rumors, he will be motivated. This is not only the case for minors like Yun Mu, even if many elderly beginners still can't hold it, and if they are not careful, they may waste their hard-earned money.
Compared with ordinary beginners, Yunmu has a huge advantage.
Although this product doesn't know anything about antiques, when it comes to the level of identification, he is enough to crush many experts.
At this moment, Yun Mu found that the secret technique he had mastered was finally useful!
"Broken inkstone ......"
"Imitation vase ......"
In a shop that sells jade materials, Yun Mu constantly performs identification techniques and enjoys it.
The identification of antiques does not need to pose remotely, as long as you hold it in your hand, you can identify it.
The two went to several shops, and finally stopped at a shop full of various stones. Liu Ya picked up the stones one by one and observed the sunlight, and the movements were very professional. The natural archer is much calmer, and according to Liu Ya's previous novice teaching, he knows that this is the legendary gambling jade.
The so-called gambling jade is usually a long ore billet in front of the jade shop, which may or may not contain priceless jade. The recent popular way of gambling on jade in the Xia Clan Ancestral Hall is not so primitive, and the one placed at the door is not an ore billet, and a layer has been removed from the outside, upgrading from a stone billet to jade. These jade materials are generally hidden in jade, but the amount of jade hidden in them, as well as the material of jade, can not be distinguished.
The jade in this shop varies in size, some are the size of an egg, and some weigh several kilograms. The selling price also varies, ranging from a few hundred yuan to tens of thousands. As for whether the buyer can get good jade from the jade material after starting, it depends on luck.
The amount of jade in the rough stone is not yet detected by any precision instrument in the world, and all experts rely on the naked eye to distinguish and rely on experience to identify. Gambling jade, this is a measure of experience, not a law of science, experience will always make mistakes, and experts also have times to wander.
"Poor jade ......"
"Inferior jade ......"
"Medium Jade ......"
Touching a smooth stone the size of a palm, Yun Mu said weakly: "Boss, how much is this piece?" ”
No matter how the boss looks at it, he thinks that Yun Mu is like a passing soy sauce player, and it can be judged from his action of playing with the stone that this is a rookie, unlike a big buyer, so the boss's attitude is not very harmonious: "Twenty thousand." ”
Yun Mu was really not a big buyer, so he put the stone back when he heard the words.
At present, he still lacks a pricing standard, and he has no idea whether this "medium jade material" can be worth back 20,000 ticket prices.
Liu Ya didn't see anything she liked, and Yun Mu left, asking on the way, "Bodyguard, do you think you're bored?" ”
Yun Mu: "No, I'm just curious, why are those jade materials casually placed at the door?" ”
Liu Ya smiled: "It's nothing, there is a jade trading market in Hetian, called the Jade Bazaar." Many Uyghur compatriots put a pile of stones on the ground and set up stalls, and some came with carts, just like selling cantaloupe. ”
Yun Mu: "Have you been?" ”
Liu Ya: "I went once last summer, and after picking for several days, I finally picked two pieces of material, one good and one bad, and it didn't make any money, so it was a trip." ”
Yun Mu was fascinated when he heard it, and he suddenly had a little fantasies, and a picture appeared in his mind: he and Liu Ya wandered around during the summer vacation, singing and laughing all the way...... Liu Ya opened the chatterbox, reminiscing and teaching novices: "In fact, the most exciting place to gamble on jade is Tianning Temple in the south, there are small profits, and there are millions of all the water, I look nervous, the last time I went there I was a crowd of onlookers, I didn't dare to start." ”
As if he felt a little embarrassed as he spoke, Chong Yunmu stuck out his tongue.
Yun Mu had no illusions this time, and his mood was quite complicated.
Liu Ya is already a girl who has traveled from south to north, and she is still growing weakly in the greenhouse. Yun Mu has never left the province until now, and if he wants to travel around, he needs an economic foundation.
Wordlessly staring at Liu Ya, Yun Mu's heart to make money has never been so strong as it was at this moment.
"What do you think?" Liu Ya stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes.
Yun Mu: "I'm wondering why you haven't started yet, didn't you say that all the jade materials in this store were transported from Hetian?" ”
Liu Ya said very cautiously: "The buying and selling of Hetian jade raw materials, due to the layer of 'skin' on the outside, no one dares to pack the purity of the jade inside, which creates the risk of gambling on jade, which can make people rich overnight, and can also make people bankrupt, anyway, I have to take it easy." Sister Wei said that when these jade merchants went to Hotan to buy goods, they kept the good materials privately, and no one could say that the things they put out were bad, and they would lose a lot if they were not careful. ”
Yun Mu was curious: "How is purity classified?" ”
Liu Ya looked at this rookie sympathetically and explained: "There are too many grading patterns of Hetian jade, and the best white jade is subdivided into mutton fat jade, white jade, and sugar white jade according to different purities. Under the white jade, there are also green and white jade, green jade, topaz, black jade, jasper...... There are too many, anyway, you should remember that the mutton fat white jade is the most valuable. ”
After listening to Liu Ya's explanation, Yun Mu probably knew what jade was hidden in the medium jade.
The two walked to another shop, and Liu Ya quickly became addicted. Appreciating the jade material, she was very focused, and gradually ignored the existence of Yun Mu, and she forgot about herself when she held the jade material.
Yun Mu also forgot about himself, the big jade material in the store was not good, but an inconspicuous small jade material, which brought unexpected surprises, and repeatedly identified it several times, and the answer was the same: high-quality jade material.......
