Chapter 169: Corundum Corundum
Seeing the jade in his hand glowing with extremely beautiful colors under the light, Zhao Lao Er was a little intoxicated!
Then take a look at the stall, jade pendant, Guanyin Bodhisattva statue, ornaments, jade pendants, all kinds, various, in the last two rows, is the semi-finished product of the jadeite that has not been carved, only from the color and transparency, the color is bright green, under the illumination of the light, it can be seen that the transparency is very high.
Usually distinguish the quality of jadeite, generally by color, transparency, impurities, size, etc., after reaching these standards, it can be said to be an excellent quality.
But if you look at this roadside stall, there are at least 100 stalls, and the roadside stalls have that kind of top-grade jadeite, and there are quite a few of them, believe it or not?
Of course Zhou Xuan doesn't believe it, from the outside, no matter which aspect it is, these jadeites are treasures, but since they are treasures, how can there be so many? Any piece is worth tens of millions, can it be placed casually like this?
Zhou Xuan didn't use ice qi, it was good to have such an opportunity to practice his basic knowledge.
The owner of this stall is a young man in his twenties, not tall, a little short and fat, but not too fat.
Zhao Lao's second-hand is a beautifully carved statue of Guanyin, bright green under the light is extremely attractive, this color is no different from the more than 20 million jadeite he sold, and looked at the stall, like the Bodhisattva in his hand Guanyin placed in a few rows one by one, not a hundred but also ninety, I couldn't help but be a little stunned: it is really Tengchong, there are so many good goods in the roadside stalls!
The stall owner said with a smile: "Bosses, do you want a statue of Guanyin?" Oh, Myanmar Laokeng jade, glass floor, absolutely A genuine goods, quality and quantity! ”
As soon as Zhou Xuan heard his tone, he knew that this was a bull who was a bragging, and now the small vendors, one hundred and one out of a hundred may be bragging, and one can brag more than the other.
Smiling, Zhou Xuan asked: "Boss, since it is a cargo, a high-grade Burmese jade old pit species, how much is it?" ”
"One thousand two, no counteroffer!" The stall owner replied casually, but looking at his expression, where is the non-counteroffer? I'm afraid I'm preparing for a war of saliva and price between you and me.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It's too cheap!" ”
This is not a joke, if it is a high-grade jadeite, like this, without a price of more than seven or eight million, it is impossible to buy it!
"That's it, I'll make some hard money, my goods, but it's the most convenient, if you don't believe it, it's better to come back to me after running around the entire jade market in Tengchong!" The young boss was foaming at the mouth, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, and he was really not afraid to hold the sky out.
Zheng Bing and a few people didn't care about this, they just walked with Zhou Xuan casually, neither spoke to express their opinions, nor interjected to ask anything, they didn't express their opinions whether they bought it or not, Zhou Xuan and they made their own decisions, in addition to doing it, it was the same with Zhou Bo and Lin Shitu, they didn't say a word when Zhou Xuan was doing business, but if someone did it, they immediately rushed forward.
There were only two people who spoke, Zhou Xuan and Zhao Laoer, and after listening to the boss's price, Zhao Laoer couldn't wait to pay for all the goods in this stall immediately, but Zhao Laoer was not stupid, although he didn't understand jade, he knew that he had to listen to Zhou Xuan, and looked at Zhou Xuan sideways.
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly, these days, he has also bought a lot of books to supplement his knowledge, and heard the experience of the old master, and more importantly, after his ice qi is detected, and then compared with the two, this experience is more practical than the experience of those veteran masters, because Zhou Xuan detected the real jade, and no matter how good the experience of others is, it is only based on empirical observation and estimation, but I dare not absolutely guarantee that there is jade in the wool!
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Boss, then you introduce it, how to distinguish the authenticity and quality of jadeite?" ”
The young boss thought that Zhou Xuan and they were all new hands, and if outsiders came to Tengchong to play, they all had to buy a few pieces for relatives and friends to give back, and they earned this kind of people's money!
After listening to Zhou Xuan's words, he smiled and took a Bodhisattva statue, held it up under the lamp, and let the light penetrate out, the color was really green with blue, green and oily, and several people around their faces were sprinkled with a layer of green light and shadow, such as yarn and raccoon, like a dream.
The boss said proudly: "Look, jadeite, the best jadeite is about color, transparency, no impurities, you see, how high the transparency of this jade, pure as water, no impurities at all, this green, bright green very, is the best emerald like green, a piece of genuine, this price is also cheap, I will do something small profits, basically do not make any money!" ”
Listening to his unashamed words, Zhou Xuan was a little funny, and also said: "Boss, but I've heard that you don't look at the color under the lamp, and I heard that any jewelry should not judge the quality of the color under the lamp, and for jadeite, this will be even more important." Because the color of jadeite, especially the color of jadeite such as glitter gray, sparkle blue and oil blue, the visual effect under light is much better than that under natural light. If you really want to identify the color of jadeite, you should be under natural light, not under the light, under which you can only see the fissures of the jadeite, the length of the water head, the degree of reflection or other characteristics! ”
The young boss was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhou Xuan's words to be like a real expert, of course he understood that none of them were true, they were all fake, and they were made by machines.
Zhou Xuan picked up a statue of Guanyin again, and said: "Like the craftsmanship of the best jadeite, it is also very important, a good and high-quality jadeite also needs to be carved out by highly skilled craftsmen, in order to show its value, you these Guanyin, piece by piece, hehe, you see that there is even the same small dot at the bottom, this is the trace left by the machine, if the really valuable jadeite, so to speak, are artificially carved, then there can be no exactly the same thing, You're all the same! ”
The young boss was stunned again, Zhou Xuan's meaning was almost clear, it was nothing more than directly saying that he was fake, listening to his statement, he was indeed like an expert, and said stupidly: "If you want it, if you don't want it, don't want it, what's such nonsense?" ”
Zhao Lao Er is the first time to contact this industry, where can he understand that he made more than 20 million yuan by picking up a broken stone casually, there are so many good things in this stall, more than 1,000 pieces, just buy a few, so don't make money?
Glancing at Zhou Xuan, Zhao Lao Er sneered: "Brother, I'll buy 10,000 yuan, this thing looks really good!" ”
Zhao Lao Er thought to himself that he had earned tens of millions anyway, and it didn't matter if he spent 10,000 yuan to make money or not, just try his luck, and besides, these jades look really beautiful.
If Zhou Xuan and Zhao Lao Er are not together, and the two don't know each other, then Zhou Xuan is a bit of a good thing to ruin other people's business when he says this, even if he is cheating, this move is hateful, but the key is that Zhou Xuan and Zhao Lao Er are together, so there is no reason for the young boss to be angry.
Zhou Xuan didn't want to show off, he just came out for a casual stroll, and just happened to run into a roadside stall again, so he wanted to evaluate it with his own experience and eyesight, to see what level he would reach if he didn't measure it with ice gas.
But Zhao Lao Er really wants to buy, not that Zhao Lao Er is stupid, Zhao Lao Er is actually very clever in business, basically he has never been fooled, but today he has made a lot of money, this wealth may be an astronomical amount that he can't earn back in his life, so he is excited, and excited, the money is too easy, and the second is that the wealth is also from the jade, so when I saw these beautiful jade carvings, my heart immediately became hot again!
Zhao Lao Er saw that Zhou Xuan didn't want it, so he said to the young boss: "Boss, cheaper, I'll buy a few!" ”
Now that he opened his mouth, the stall owner glanced at Zhou Xuan, his words were not so bullish, and he nodded and said, "If you really want it, you can give a discount, how many pieces?" ”
Zhou Xuan saw that Zhao Lao Er really wanted it, and said with a smile: "Second child, you are really far from it in this regard, today is lucky, if you gamble again with this idea, sooner or later you will lose a fine light, hehe, I will tell you a few simple truths, you try it and then decide!" ”
Zhao Lao Er also smiled and said, "Say, I don't think you have much experience than me, look at what you say!" ”
"Hehe, that's good, anyway, I'll tell you about it!"
Zhou Xuan didn't look at the young boss's wary gaze at him, and said to Zhao Laoer: "Second child, the one we play during the day is called wool, which is the ore that has not been polished by jadeite, and the way to play is called gambling stone, which is very risky. ”
"What is a semi-finished product? What is the finished product? Zhao Lao Er asked again, he didn't even understand this, so he came to gamble on the stone, if he knew the big tooth, he would laugh off, but Zhou Xuan didn't laugh at him, because he himself was similar, and he was inferior to Zhao Lao Er at first, just because he had ice qi ability.
"Semi-finished products, generally refers to the jade cut and polished from the wool, but has not been carved into shape, just the original jadeite, called semi-finished products, the finished product is carved out, and it is sold in the store, that is the finished product!"
Zhou Xuan explained to Zhao Laoer, "Now in the market, jade devices are very popular, as long as they can make money, there will be fakes now, you have done business, you don't need me to explain to know, everything that makes money, what is not fake?" The profit of jadeite is higher, so it is not surprising that there is a fake, the quality of jadeite is generally according to the color, transparency, texture is pure or impure, and the size of the block is to discuss the price, and now the fake will of course start from these aspects, do the color, usually called' This method is to heat the jadeite to more than 200 degrees, and then soak it in the chromium salt solution for two hours, the chromium salt will penetrate into the crystal lattice of the jadeite, and the inferior jadeite after soaking will have a very beautiful green! ”
Zhou Xuan tried his best to use the knowledge obtained from the books and the results of ice gas detection, combined the two, and then gave Zhao Lao Er words that he could understand more easily.
"In addition to the practice of color, there is also a kind of 'dressing', as the name suggests, the meaning of wearing clothes is to coat the surface of inferior jadeite or glass with a layer of organic green, so that it has a gorgeous green, and there is also a brightening is not polished, that is, the jadeite jewelry is not polished, but sprayed with a layer of green or colorless brightening paint!"
Although Zhao Lao Er didn't understand, what Zhou Xuan said could be understood and listened to with relish, and he smiled and said, "Brother, when did you learn this belly of jade knowledge?" Sounds pretty interesting, I'll take a look at ......."
Zhao Lao Er said and looked at the Guanyin statue in his hand carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see anything when he looked around, touched his head and said, "How can you recognize what you said?" ”
The young boss could finally be sure that Zhou Xuan was a knowledgeable person, and it might be a little difficult to cheat money from them, so he just stared at them with his eyes closed, and did not speak.
"This ......" Zhou Xuan also touched his head, a little embarrassed, to distinguish the true from the false, of course he has no problem at all, as soon as the ice qi comes out, he immediately distinguishes the true from the false, but if he wants to tell Zhao Laoer, it is a little unimaginable.
When he saw that Zhou Xuan was also dumbfounded, the young boss suddenly became energetic, thinking that Zhou Xuan was only half a bucket of water, if he was really an expert, there were a lot of ways to distinguish the true from the false, and he couldn't say it, which meant that he could only say it, but he didn't really understand it.
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, the goods I have here, which one is true, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand!" The stall owner then said to Zhao Lao Er, "Do you want it?" If you want, I'll give you a discount! ”
"Don't do it!" Zhao Lao Er said dryly.
The boss was surprised at this moment and asked, "Didn't you still want it just now, why did you change as soon as you said it?" In fact, it doesn't matter if you want it or not, what is the reason? ”
The boss thought that Zhao Lao Er had seen something, if he knew that he was all fake, then it would be okay to say, but it didn't look like them.
"Nothing else, just because you were rude to my brother, I just yelled at you, what else do I want your goods for!" Zhao Lao Er said it lightly and seriously, and this stalked the young jade stall owner.
"You ......" the stall owner snorted and said, "That's it?" Hmph, I thought there was some special reason for it, say this, don't pretend to be big if you don't recognize it, don't pretend to be the most hateful if you don't know how to pretend to understand, if you say that someone else's is a fake, don't say it's scolding, I'm afraid it's a beating! ”
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly and said: "Don't say it so ugly, it's actually very easy to distinguish the true from the fake, the real is the true, the fake is the fake, the real can't be fake, the fake can't be true!" ”
The boss also twisted his neck and got angry, slapped the stall and said, "Then you can identify it for me, I can't tell that I want you to look good!" ”
Zhou Xuan snorted, picked up a statue of Guanyin on his stall, took down a glass mirror hanging on the side, and swiped the statue of Guanyin on the glass mirror, "snap", the statue of Guanyin suddenly cracked into several pieces!
