Chapter 33: Sexual Encounters (Part II)
In the faΓ§ade of Chow Tai Fook gold store, there are three counters, the left side is gold jewelry, the middle is white gold and pearl other jewelry, and the right counter is jade and jade pieces, but the quantity is far less than gold and silver jewelry.
The store is very large, and more than a dozen beautiful female clerks are standing at three counters, and the female clerk who greeted Zhang Can has round hair and looks like a flight attendant, but the clothes in this store look like waiters in a restaurant.
"What type and style do you like, sir?"
It seems that he is very experienced in sales every day, and he speaks fluently, and while speaking, he spreads out his right hand to guide Zhang Can to look at the platinum and jade counters.
Zhang Can smiled, these female clerks in the gold store, as long as there are customers arriving, the first thing is to lead the customers to the platinum jewelry and jade jewelry counter first, and the last thing they want to introduce to customers is gold and silver jewelry.
Most people don't know this, but Zhang Can understands it very well, because the selling price of gold and silver jewelry is only one layer more than the actual price, and gold and silver are in circulation, and its price is the closest to the world, for example, a gram of gold is worth 360 yuan, after making gold jewelry, in general, it will not be higher than 450, the difference in the middle is obvious, the gold jewelry in the gold store usually indicates the price of one gram, such as 42, or 403, and then the gold jewelry you choose weighs and will calculate the total price according to this price.
The cash of the gold jewelry sold, the female clerk's commission will be relatively low, generally only one percent, and the commission of a thousand-dollar gold jewelry clerk is only ten yuan.
The price of platinum is inflated, the principal is five hundred, the selling price will be one thousand, the profit is at least more than half, and the sales commission of the clerk will be between 15 and 30 percent, and the selling price of platinum is higher than that of gold, the price of any piece of jewelry will be three or five thousand, unlike gold, two or three hundred yuan are available, the clerk's platinum sales commission ratio is higher than gold, a necklace will be more than 100, sell three or five a day, and the achievement will be hundreds, plus the basic salary, the monthly salary is not surprising, Therefore, as soon as a customer watches, the first recommendation of the clerks is platinum and jade, especially jade.
It is said that the profit of platinum is high, it is only one or two times, and the high one is two or three times, but jade is different, the premium of jade is unlimited, and the most common and most common jade in the gold store are also jewelry made of jadeite jade from Myanmar.
This jadeite for ordinary people, in fact, is a very distant and strange thing, the vast majority of people in China to its image is to stay on the TV or in the counter of the gold store, it is very unfamiliar to it, this is not to understand its identification, because of the pursuit of interests, there are a lot of fraud, ordinary people are helpless.
If the value of an ordinary, low-level jadeite itself is only about 100 yuan, after processing, it may be marked with a price of 10,000, or even 100,000, of course, there is a relatively high price, and the jadeite that is more liked by the gold shop owner is the kind of jadeite that is only worth between 35,000 and 20,000 or 30,000, and then carefully carved, the selling price will generally be more than 100,000, and sometimes the selling price will be marked to millions, and the profit is at least five or six times or more, or even dozens of times, and the commission of the sales clerk is higher. Selling a piece of jadeite with hundreds of thousands of yuan can be at least tens of thousands of dollars, even if a bracelet worth only 1,000 yuan, the commission is more than 100, which is the highest among all the jewelry in the store, because the difference between the principal and the selling price is huge.
He is doing this business, so Zhang Can does not plan to buy jade pieces, as far as he saw at a glance, the front of a jade pendant, the color is so good, the price is 30,000, but Zhang Can's black and white eyes only flashed for a second to see clearly, this jade pendant is just a good texture of oil green jade carving, after chemical color, good color, transparency looks good, marked with a price of 37,000, but the actual price, will never exceed 1,000 yuan.
For platinum, Zhang Can doesn't know much, so he doesn't plan to buy platinum jewelry, platinum necklaces and bracelets are better, especially platinum diamond rings, the price of diamonds is greasy and big, only buying gold is more valuable, and the loss is smaller.
Zhang Can understood too well, so after thinking about it, he felt that he didn't want to buy anything, and the female clerk introduced a large number of people, Zhang Can almost didn't listen to it, and raised his head "oh".
From this expression, the female clerk was very disappointed, the clerk of the gold store will be trained to know people, and use it to identify which customers will buy, which one has little chance of buying, and which one has money and will buy more.
For Zhang Can, this women's store is actually still out of sight, Zhang Can is not not buying, nor is it that he can't afford to spend money, or if something is swept by his black and white eyes, he will calculate the gains and losses, and whether it is worth buying it.
After looking at it, Zhang Canwang didn't look at the platinum counter and the jade counter, stretched out his hand and pointed to the counter of gold jewelry and said, "That...... I want that! β
Zhang Can pointed to a carved gold bracelet, look at the weight, at least between 15 and 200 grams, the most important thing is that the fineness of this bracelet is 24K gold, is the purest one, the gold content reaches 99.6%, the selling price is 411 grams, and the actual price is closer, the sales clerk's commission is the lowest, but the weight is large, there are dozens of yuan.
And other gold jewelry, the commission is slightly higher, because of the problem of fineness, other gold jewelry, the fineness has 12K, 18K, 22K, etc., the vast majority of people can't distinguish, and they don't understand, and there are many ways in gold.
When the clerk of the gold store introduces you, he will avoid some sensitive places around the bend, for example, Zhang Can just pointed to the gold bracelet, and the female clerk immediately took him to the counter and pointed to another bracelet and said, "Sir, do you want to buy a gold bracelet?" In fact, I will introduce you to another better one, this style is the latest, you see, this is pure gold, the weight is about the same as that one, the price is the same, but our store does activities, this new model will give away a Myanmar old pit jade Guanyin Buddha statue, worth 1,000 yuan! β
The female clerk said and turned around and took out a jade Guanyin statue in the box under the counter, and pointed it to Zhang Can to look at: "Sir, you see, if you buy a gold bracelet of the same weight, the price and value are the same, but the new one can be given to the jade Guanyin statue, and this gift is a good gift to take back to your girlfriend or mother, isn't it?" β
Zhang Can smiled, this female clerk can really speak, not to mention that the gold content of this new bracelet is only 18 K, which can not be called "pure gold" at all, usually the gold content of "pure gold" should reach more than 95 percent, that is to say, the lowest is 22 K gold can be called pure gold, called 1,000 pure gold, the sales clerk will say that it is pure gold, in fact, the highest purity of gold is only 99.6 percent.
And this 18-karat gold bracelet, although the weight is the same as that pure gold bracelet, but the actual value is a third worse, and the sales clerk's achievement will be higher.
The female clerk is on this, playing just a discourse organ, when selling you a bill, it will also be written clearly for you, it is eighteen K gold, not twenty-two, or twenty-four K gold, so you can't help it when you come back to find ballast, if the ticket is written on the twenty-four K gold, but what is sold to you is eighteen K gold, that is the evidence, but the gold shop is playing such a trap, how can you not understand it?
Zhang Can smiled faintly: "Miss, how much pure gold are you talking about?" How many K's is this? β
The female clerk was stunned, Zhang Can's question made her heart tremble, people asked clearly, then her answer is very critical, if the customer takes it back and says it differently, it will be her trouble.
Zhang Can said lightly: "Miss, if you don't say it, then I'll tell you, the one I chose is 24K gold, with a gold content of more than 95%, which can be called pure gold, but it is not a thousand pure gold, and the gold content you introduced to me is only about 80%, far behind, even the pure gold you said is not counted, you see its color is light yellow, and the color I chose is much darker, red yellow, the higher the purity of gold, the lower the hardness, high-purity gold is very soft, and you can scratch traces with your fingernails, The lower the fineness of the gold, the higher the hardness, and there will be no traces, miss, do you want to try it? β
The female clerk suddenly changed color, but she didn't expect this young man to be an expert, and what he said knew better than her!
Zhang Can said again: "I know the trick you played, you take out the bracelet and look at it, I guarantee that the mark of these two models has the mark of 'pure gold' or 'eighteen K gold', you tell me that it is pure gold, playing with words, after I buy it back, I can't find any trouble for you, because it has been marked as eighteen K gold, I bet that the invoice you gave me will also be clearly written on it is eighteen K gold, not 'pure gold'!" β
The female clerk's face was red and blue for a while, it didn't matter if she couldn't sell it, she gave a connoisseur customer such a clear count, and she didn't have anything to say, there was face there!
Zhang Can has been dealing with dealers in the antique and thrift market for a long time, and he is playing with his heart and eyesight, and now he has the perspective of black and white eyes, and these things that can be distinguished with the naked eye cannot be hidden from him.
"Miss, whoever does business wants to make money and buy and sell freely, but you can't bully the dark room, so what you're doing is not right, here, I don't want to say more, everyone understands it in their hearts, well, that's it, you invoice me, I want that pure gold bracelet!"
The female clerk wrote an invoice to Zhang Can with a red face, ashamed, and even a little embarrassed.
The invoice was issued, the price was 78,800 yuan, Zhang Can took out the bank card and signed the card directly, and waited for the female clerk to wrap the box and put it in a colorful and beautiful small plastic bag, before respectfully handing it to Zhang Can, bowing his head and whispering: "Sir, please take it!" β
Zhang Can smiled, and didn't say more, he had to be forgiving and forgiving, he had no grudges with the female clerk, anyway, he wasn't fooled, just buy something and leave, but as soon as he took a step with the bag, a crisp female voice said: "Sir, wait a minute......"
Zhang Can thought it was a female clerk and what did he call him, but he turned his head to look, but couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it was not the female clerk of the gold store who called him, but a customer outside the counter, with a short skirt and tassel shirt, long hair and shawl, extremely beautiful appearance, and a young girl with an excellent temperament.
"You...... You call me? Zhang Can asked suspiciously, still unsure.
The beautiful girl nodded and said, "Yes, it's me, I want to discuss it with you, okay?" β
Zhang Can saw that this girl's eyes were full of the intention of requesting, of course he would not respond rudely to such a beautiful girl, he didn't know what people begged him for, he couldn't do it, and it didn't matter what he could do.
"Well, what do you say?" Zhang Can was asking while guessing, what was she going to do when she stopped herself? But most of them are not female scammers who ask themselves for money to borrow, although there are many such people now.
