Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Making money, Tianming, who has long been out of low-level fun, is really not interested in this.

But people always have to live, to live a better life, these are inseparable from the support of material and money, with enough money, Tianming can legally do whatever he wants.

In order to plan the entire August trip, Tianming had to earn enough money to spend.

His gaze was on the crystal gem in the small space.

These days, Tianming has searched for some information on the Internet, sapphire, ruby, jadeite gemstone, these gems are the best-selling, and the combination of these colors, derived from a lot of rare colors such as jadeite red, tortoiseshell green, galloblue, etc., the price can be increased tenfold. He couldn't tell the difference anyway.

Others, such as clear crystal, glass crystal, and white crystal, are not very valuable. A lot of it is actually hydrated silica, which, like the main structure of sand, is generally not bought unless it is particularly rare.

Tianming selected a few crystal gems with rare colors and relatively round and regular shapes, took them with him, and went to Jiulong Street, a famous street in Suyun City that specializes in jade, antiques, and cultural relics trading.

Kowloon Street, all the antique blue brick buildings.

There are many people on the street, cars can't drive in at all, there are countless small stalls on the roadside, selling antique accessories, selling small gourds and jade pendants, antique porcelain, calligraphy, calligraphy, book fragments, dazzling and overwhelming.

Just the roadside stalls are already very lively. The shops on both sides are luxuriously decorated and classical. The words on the signboard advertisement are dancing dragons and phoenixes, and next to the shop, you can often see waitresses wearing red and green cheongsams, opening the door to welcome customers. In particular, there are a few people who are particularly good-looking, and they hold Tianming's eyeballs tightly.

"Where did I go? I'm here to sell crystal gems, so just find a jade antique shop and just go in. ”

According to game theory, shops with the same business attributes are always operated close to each other, and the jade antique shops on Kowloon Street are lined up together, at least 2 or 3o.

Since there are so many jade shops nearby, Tianming is not afraid of the boss who doesn't know the goods to pit him, just go a few more.

Yipin Holy Stone Hall, a very mysterious name, Tianming walked in curiously.

The boss is over 4o years old, chubby and looks very shrewd, wearing a long shirt, smiling and seems to be very enthusiastic about everyone.

"Young man, do you want to buy something? We have a wide variety of jade and gemstones, complete colors, and prices are medium, low and high, no matter who you are, you can buy the right jade in my shop......"

Seeing the boss's gushing appearance, Tianming had to interrupt him and said, "Boss, I'm here to sell gems, do you collect crystal gems?" ”

"Gem seller, come here with me, please!"

After walking into a small room. Tianming took out a small gray cloth bag from the backpack behind him, took out three gems the size of duck eggs from it, and said, "Boss, can you help me take a look at these gems, how are they in condition?" How much is it worth? ”

The boss carefully looked at the several gems that Tianming took out: one blue, one red, and one green, the size and shape were very similar, round like a duck's egg, the color was very pure, the light was dazzling, and the volume was very large.

The smile on the boss's face gradually faded, became a little dignified, pulled Tianming aside, and whispered: "My surname is Xiao, you can call me Boss Xiao, where did the little brother's gem come from?" Family-heirloom, or mined in the mines? ”

Tianming said in a deep voice: "How did the gem come from, don't ask, boss, you just say how much it's worth, right?" ”

Boss Xiao knew that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, so he smiled awkwardly, and then said, "If it's valuable, I'll estimate it after I've tested it with an instrument...... Little brother, these gems are very collectible and have a high potential for appreciation, do you really plan to sell them? ”

"Sell, or I'll take it out to tease you? Boss, I'm busy, please hurry up and help me take a look. Tianming said impatiently.

The boss paid attention to it, although gemstones are somewhat different from jade, but there are also rare goods with a price of more than millions. In recent years, the domestic popular collection craze, gold craze, what valuable, rare things prices have soared, even with the original small audience of gemstone trading, also booming. The few gems that this young man brought were relatively large, and Boss Xiao hadn't seen them much, so he had to be cautious.

"Little brother, don't be angry, wait a while, I'll help you appraise it, and after the price is evaluated, I'll give you a suitable price." Xiao Fang, pour this gentleman a cup of tea. ”

Calling the staff in the store to pour a cup of tea for Tianming, Boss Xiao took a gemstone upstairs for identification. Tianming originally planned to go up together, but Boss Xiao didn't let him, just let him wait for good news downstairs.

After drinking the chrysanthemum tea in his hand, 5 minutes passed, and Boss Xiao's efficiency was very high, and he was struggling at the small building.

"Boss Xiao, how's it going?"

Boss Xiao didn't speak, but mysteriously pulled Tianming to a quieter place, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Little brother, the identification results are out, this gem is indeed a natural mineral formed under natural conditions, with bright colors, uniform shapes, and great processing and collection value, but it is just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that it's hard for me to estimate the value, if you put it in the auction house, you can sell it for millions of dollars. But the origin of your gem is unknown, and I don't know what conditions it was formed, so I can't judge? Boss Xiao explained.

After listening to Boss Xiao's explanation, Tianming's head is a little big, how much attention is there to identify a thing? You have to know its origin, causes, and material composition before you can estimate it. Isn't that? I'm just going to sell something, don't you just look good? How can it be so troublesome.

"I don't know much about the origin of these stones. Otherwise, the boss, each gem is 2oo yuan, I will sell it to you, you research it yourself, which pit it comes from, what is the composition, you check the information yourself and improve it...... How do you sell it, how much money you make, it doesn't matter to me, you can make it or not? ”

Boss Xiao waved his hand and shook his head again and again, pushed the sapphire on the table to Tianming's hand, and said: "Little brother, this is a small shop, I am most afraid of encountering fakes, if it is tens of thousands, it will not hurt to lose some of them." If tens or millions of dollars are invested at a time, the operation will fail at that time, not only will it not be able to recover the cost, but it may even close the store. So, little brother, 5o million each, we want it all, 2oo really can't afford it......"

Don't have money to do a big business? Suspect my gemstone is a fake? What took hundreds of millions of years to form in the crystal river, do you dare to say that it is a fake? All the things in your store can't compare to a gem of mine!

After leaving the store, Tianming scolded all the way. After such a long delay, the gem is only 5o thousand, am I a fool?

I visited several stores one after another, but I didn't expect that they were all bosses who wanted to make money and didn't want to pay money, and at most they would pay a price of 8o yuan each, which made Tianming depressed.

Good things are actually fried, you buy it back for 5o million, and then spend 1oo to fry things into a rare commodity with only such a piece in the sky and the earth, then it is guaranteed to rise the boat, 1o times 2o times the gain without pressure.

"Let's look at another one, if this one can't offer a suitable price, let's go to the store that bids 8o yuan and sell the thing."

After running all morning, Tianming's stomach was already rumbling, and now what he wanted to eat most was grunt meat.

Caibao Jade Store is the largest jewelry store on Kowloon Street, covering an area of more than 3oo square meters, and the entire three-story store is the store's operating storefront. Gorgeously decorated and stylish. Well-dressed, there are high-end people with aristocratic and noble people coming in and out. The reason why Tianming didn't choose this store was that he felt that his image was very mismatched and not suitable for entering

After entering the Caibao jade store, he was still welcomed, and the welcome lady's sentence of "Mr. Hello" made Tianming feel a little flattered.

Walking to the counter, Tianming solemnly said to the counter: "Can you call your boss over, I have some business to talk to him?" ”

"Is the gentleman going to sell something? Our manager is very busy, you can ......" The female employee didn't finish speaking, but listened to Tian Mingyan said: "I have very limited time, and I may not have much time to wait for you." If you value this business enough, call your manager right away. ”

This female employee may be new, and she was easily frightened by Tianming, unconsciously picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said to Tianming: "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll call the manager." ”

After 2 minutes of calling, I didn't let Tianming wait long. A plump mature woman in a black skirt walked over. Slightly powdered, well-dressed, less than 3o years old, middle-to-upper looking, but very young woman's temperament.

The female manager's surname is Shi, her name is Jingru, after a brief introduction to herself, she shook hands, and Tianming was taken by her to a quiet room on the third floor and began to negotiate business.

"This gentleman, if you ask to see me, there must be some rare treasure to introduce to our store, right?" Manager Shi got straight to the point.

"Yes."

Tianming didn't bother to pretend to be deep, took out a small cloth bag from his backpack, and carefully took out the three gems of different colors inside.

Perhaps it was the noon sun that was more dazzling, after Tianming took out a sapphire, through the window glass, a beam of sunlight happened to hit the gem, and in an instant, the tender green light illuminated the entire wing.

When all three gemstones come out, they scatter due to the refraction of light. On the walls of the entire wing, a variety of colors appeared. Shi Jingru's eyes widened when she saw this scene, and an incredible gaze flashed in her phoenix eyes.

"This ......" Shi Jingru was a little speechless, and it was difficult to express the shock in her heart.

"These are gemstones, three blue, red and emerald stones of similar size and shape, each of which has the same value as the 'Heart of the Ocean', and the purpose of my visit today is to sell these three gemstones at a good price." Tianming placed the gem on the mahogany table.

"May I ask Mr. Xu, are these three gems real?" Shi Jingru asked.

Although she asked so, based on her more than ten years of industry experience and insight, she had already decided in her heart that these three gems were real.

There's a play! Tianming was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that a woman would have an appreciative eye and see the true value of these gems at a glance.

"I've just visited 8 jade shops, and the results of each of them are true, proving that these gemstones are naturally occurring treasures in nature. But they don't want to give you a price suitable for these treasures, your Caibao Jade Shop, which is the highest-grade shop on Kowloon Street, I want to sell you three gems, two million each. ”

"Two million each? So ......" Shi Jing looked at Xu Tianming like a fool, and almost said the words 'so cheap'.

"If it's too expensive, I won't sell it, so I'll leave now!" Tianming didn't bother to waste time bargaining. Anyway, there are a lot of gems in the small space, and 8o million pieces are sold to the previous store, and it is enough to sell a few more to make up 5oo for a period of time.

"Mr. Xu, please wait, we can sit down and talk in detail."

Shi Jingru stopped the dawn when she packed her things and put on her backpack to prepare to leave.
