111. Wool stone
"Tengchong doesn't have any special products here, and there is not a lot of arable land, and the main source of income for the people here is the trade with Myanmar, and the trade is also related to the distribution of jade wool. You see, over there, the whole street is full of jade shops. Zhan Qingqing's husband was still busy for a while, so she had to take Liu Bin and his party around Tengchong, but if she couldn't buy jade, it would be a lot less fun.
"Is the person wearing strange clothes over there also from Tengchong?" Lin Yunuo pointed to a few young girls who were obviously dressed differently from Tengchong's side and asked.
"Probably not. Oh, there are many ethnic minorities in Tengchong, and it borders with Myanmar, and the exchanges between the two sides are very frequent, and many Burmese girls are married here, so those who wear such clothes may be from Myanmar to do business, or they may be people from here, but generally if you marry from Myanmar, you will be a legend of our clothes, and follow the customs, this side and Myanmar have close contacts, and even a village here and a village over there were a family many years ago, and it is also very convenient for both sides to come and go. As long as you get a permit, you can come and go freely, if you have acquaintances, you can even use the certificate, but this is only limited to us going over there, and there are still some troubles if people over there want to come. Zhan Qingqing introduced Lin Yunuo and others while driving.
The commercial street is a pedestrian street, Zhan Qingqing parked the car on the side of the road, and walked in with Lin Yunuo and others, it was crowded, it was very lively, the people here were dressed in a variety of ways, and there was a kind of festival of various nationalities when they walked in.
"The shops here are all in the jade business, and there must be dozens of them?" Lin Yunuo looked at the various shops on both sides of the road, either this Zhai or that pavilion, the names are all very ancient and ancient, and there is a bit of history.
"There are more than dozens, there are almost one or two hundred, Tengchong's antique jade street is not only this one, there is another one, there are few people there, but as long as they go there, they are all big dealers." Zhan Qingqing introduced with a smile.
"Is it possible to make money doing business with so many stores?" Wang Lin took a closer look and found that there were a lot of people here, most of them were picking and choosing from roadside stalls, and there was not a single tourist walking into the shops on both sides along the way.
Zhan Qingqing explained to Wang Lin very enthusiastically: "This is what is the business of antique jade, there is a saying that you should hear, little sister, that is, 'don't open for half a year, open for three years', the main source of customers here is not here, but the high-end consumers in the coastal and inland cities, they open shops here to sell jade just by the way, the main purpose is to buy and buy good jade." ”
"Then we won't be fooled if we go to the store to buy jade?" Wang Lin was in a hurry to buy gifts for her family.
"Little sister, although I don't understand jade antiques, but also jade for many hours, these stores basically sell real jade, but a piece worth a hundred yuan he will dare to mark 110 million to sell, if you know how to negotiate with him, give everyone an acceptable price, if you don't know how to do it will be slaughtered fiercely, don't think you think you don't think it's expensive to buy and change one on the line, they are all ventilated, this one sells you a thousand jade, and the other quasi-insurance is still sold to you at this price, so ah, The water is deep! Zhan Qingqing patiently explained to Wang Lin.
"I see!" Wang Lin stuck out her tongue and stopped going to the store in a hurry.
Zhan Qingqing took Lin Yunuo and the others around for a morning, and after eating at noon, she sent Liu Bin and them back to the hotel if she had something to do.
"I'm so tired." Back at the hotel, Wang Lin lay on the big bed on all fours, closed her eyes comfortably, Liu Bin and Lin Yunuo sat aside and talked and watched TV.
I only arrived here last night, and after a morning of shopping today, Liu Bin found that Lin Yunuo was a little tired, so he said: "You and Wang Lin take a shower and rest, I'll go outside." ”
Lin Yunuo really felt a little tired, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then you go around, don't go too far and remember to come back early, and pay attention to safety on the way." ”
"Got it, you guys can rest, call me if you have something." After saying that, Liu Bin got up and left, and he went to the commercial street where Zhan Qingqing took them to visit before, and there were not many tourists here, and it was still so crowded.
He walked all the way and watched all the way, the reason why he came out this time wanted to learn from others to see if he could pick up a leak or something, it is normal to pick up leaks and punch holes in the antique industry.
He didn't know much about jade antiques, so he turned around an antique jade street and didn't see what he thought was an 'antique', and he didn't feel that there was anything very valuable, even if it was a modern fired ordinary large porcelain vase and a Yuan blue and white Guigu downhill jar in front of him, he might not be able to tell which was the stall and which was the national treasure worth tens of millions of dollars.
"Friend, would you like to try your luck with a wool stone?" Just when Liu Bin was feeling unhappy because he didn't find out that he wanted to find the baby, a man in his thirties who was setting up a stall stopped him.
Liu Bin heard him call himself and looked towards him, only to see a large plastic sheet in front of him, on which many visitors looked like very old antiques and some jade, while there were many large stones next to him, but under his ass sat a larger and smoother stone.
"How to bet?" Liu Bin didn't dare to be interested in gambling, it was just a casual question he asked out of habit.
"I see you've come full circle here, don't you see what you're looking for? Look at these," the middle-aged man patted the stones around him, "these are all good wool stones, buy one to play with?" ”
Liu Bin shook his head and said honestly: "I have no research on gambling stones, so I don't understand this. ”
"Hehe, nine out of ten people who play gambling stones don't understand, if they all know how to do it, then what kind of gambling stones are there to talk about." The middle-aged man is not discouraged, anyway, there is nothing to do to chat, in case he can fool an old hat to buy his own stone, it is earned, "Come to a piece, it's not expensive, a few thousand yuan of things, if a good jade is planted, it is dozens or hundreds of times the profit, it is not a dream to become a multimillionaire overnight, and the odds of buying a lottery ticket are much greater." ”
Liu Bin shook his head and said, "I don't know how to do it, what if the good jade seed is hacked!" ”
"Do you see the 'Jubao Zhai' in front of you? That's a time-honored brand, there are many branches all over the country, and there are two branches in Tengchong alone," the middle-aged man pointed to the 'Jubao Zhai' not far away and said to Liu Bin: "You just need to buy wool stone from me, go there to solve the stone, and the money for the stone is mine."
"The wool is out of the sheep, and you have raised the price several times, and the money for calcite has come out." Liu Bin still shook his head, but he had already squatted in front of the middle-aged man's stall at this time and began to observe the wool stones.
The middle-aged man smiled, knowing that what he had just said had touched the people in front of him, as long as he had a stone here that he had a fancy, and he was working a little harder, this business would be done. He took a look at the wool stones around him that cost 8,000 yuan to buy, and the big stones in his heart could be regarded as falling to the ground, and the people on the whole street knew that these stones were picked by themselves from Xue Yiyan and bought back as garbage, and the locals would not buy the leftover materials picked by Xue Yiyan at all.
"How do you sell this piece of wool?" Liu Bin pointed to a piece of wool slightly larger than the head that the middle-aged man used to press the plastic sheeting and asked.
"Ah, this, five thousand!" The middle-aged man was stunned by Liu Bin's question, he didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually the stone used to press plastic sheeting, but he still casually quoted a high price.
Liu Bin smacked his lips and shook his head, "Five hundred!" ”
The middle-aged man immediately said with a bitter face: "Friend, I bought this piece of wool for 2,000 yuan, and if I don't make your money, don't let me lose money." Besides, 500 yuan is not enough to even pay for calcite. ”
"One hundred, I'll pay for the calcite myself. Okay, I'll give the money, no, I'll leave immediately. Liu Bin stood up and gestured to leave.
The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped Liu Bin and said, "Don't, wait, friend, let's discuss, one hundred is too little, you can add more." ”
"If you want all these stones, you can make a price!" Liu Bin suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, he just happened to use the perspective ability, and actually found that the ability can see inside the stone, which reminded him of a way to make money quickly, gambling on stones!
"One hundred thousand!" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and blurted out. He was also excited in his heart, he caught a big fat fish today, he didn't want to make much money, he just wanted to sell these wool stones from Xue Yiyan.
"Five thousand!" Liu Bin shook his head.
Zhang Nian's man pretended to be very heartbroken, gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty thousand! ”
"Six thousand!"
"Forty thousand!"
"Ten thousand at most!"
"Twenty thousand! Let's take a step, the stone calcing fee is mine, I'm sending the stone to the store, how about it? Liu Bin was about to leave, but the middle-aged man grabbed his arm and said.
Liu Bin looked at the pile of wool stones, thought about it, and finally nodded. I1387
