It was a middle-aged man in his 40s who came in.

He walked briskly to the table and pressed the jewels with his hands.

After hesitating for a few minutes, he said in an anxious tone:

"Teacher, these are all your hard work, and you can't sell them at this price. We should go to the big city and have an auction so that we can get a fair price. ”

There was a hint of anger on Christina's face.

"What do you mean, Mr. Lasol? Is it deliberately looking for someone to stir up the situation and then drive up the price? You're not afraid that the whole town will be ashamed of you? ”

Business in the town is booming.

Authenticity and craftsmanship are one level.

A good reputation is another level.

Unless you have the mentality of picking up cheap, you will be cheated out of money.

Otherwise, they will all be satisfied.

Rasol's actions today are a big taboo.

As long as it is preached, it is the public enemy of all craftsmen.

Once the upstream and downstream supply and marketing channels collapse, he can only wait for death.

Christina couldn't bear it.

Rasol laughed apologetically, then turned to his students:

"Polati, that's the price of jewelry. To the big city to increase up to 3%, but to pay a higher commission. Moreover, the time has been stretched out too long. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled apologetically at Lin Chao again.

"Mr. Defa, I'm really sorry, my student is more reckless, I hope you can forgive me."

Lin Chao waved his hand.

"These jewels are the work of your painstaking efforts, and anyone will be reluctant to sell them at such a price. Mr. Lasol, I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of the fire, are you in trouble? ”

The man named Polati immediately said:

"No, my teacher didn't have any difficulties. It's just that we see a good rough stone and want to buy it. ”

Lin Chao smiled:

"This rough must be extremely rare, otherwise Monsieur Lassol would not have treasured it. I don't know, will I have the pleasure of visiting? ”

Rasol's face became a little embarrassed.

He gave Polati a strange look.

After hesitating for a while, he said in frustration:

"Mr. Defa, is this the end of today's transaction?"

Lin Chao shook his head and said:

"No, let's keep trading. Mr. Lasol, I bought the emerald ring. ”

Rasol secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He opened another jewelry box.

"Sir, this is an emerald pendant and the price is $4 million."

"Shhh

When she heard the price, Christina took a breath.

But when she saw the pendant, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

The drop of verdant in front of him even made people have to hold their breath.

It's as if with a little force, it will be blown away.

"Curator, this stone is very precious!"

Lin Chao nodded and said:

"The pendant is an authentic Burmese water-green jadeite, and it seems that Mr. Rasol has spent a lot of effort to polish it to this extent."

Brazil is also one of the sources of jadeite.

However, the jadeite mined here is not as good as that produced in Myanmar.

Most of them are bricks, and very few can reach gem quality, and there will be some imperfections.

Instead of laborious polishing and carving, it is better to directly use Myanmar to save effort.

Lin Chao was a little hesitant.

It is true that the cultures of the East and the West are different.

If in China, this piece of jadeite, which is 5 cm long and 3 cm wide, will definitely be carved into something.

But in Brazil, it is polished into an oval shape and set in a pendant full of fine diamonds.

This seems noble and luxurious, but it is incompatible with the introverted nature of China.

Christina whispered:

"Curator, this pendant is too expensive, or let's take a look at something else."

Lin Chao shook his head.

This kind of jadeite is far more than the one that was "picked up" from Mr. Zheng's hands.

If it is placed at auction, I am afraid it can be raised to about 40 million yuan.

"I bought it!"

Polati, who was on the side, began to get anxious again.

He was about to speak, but was glared back by a look from the teacher.

I could only sit aside with a red face.

Seeing the deal, Lasol picked up another jewelry box.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chao put his hand on the box and said with a smile:

"Mr. Lasol, I am not a man of profit. When you come to buy these jewelry, you also give them to your closest family members. If you have any problems, you can say it, I don't want to be doomed. ”

There is a taboo in the wearing of jewelry.

According to the older generation, they are most afraid of being stained with blood and not being able to control it.

For example, it is now popular to wear "Pixiu." ”

Actually, it's not a beckoning beast.

In ancient times, Pixiu and war were inextricably linked.

When setting out on the expedition, the front of the team should be marked with the Pixiu flag.

Soldiers would also wear one on their bodies to pray for good fortune.

Over time, the army is often compared to Pixiu.

For example, "100,000 Pixiu and 100,000 soldiers", "Xiao and drums are boiling in the sky, bows and knives are like water, and the company battalion is 100,000 Pixiu" and so on.

According to the Chinese doctrine of the Five Virtues, water is yin, and the main punishment is killed.

Pixiu transformed into a mount of the god of water again.

When the capital of the Yuan Dynasty was built, in order to solve the problem of water shortage in the north, the Hongyuan Temple was specially built to worship.

In the Ming Dynasty, in order to suppress the feng shui of the Yuan Dynasty.

A lot of adjustments have been made to the layout of Beiping City, but Hongyuan View has not moved a little.

In the Qing Dynasty, Pixiu was even more valued.

Every time the imperial court sends troops, it has to go to Hongyuan to pay homage to incense.

In order to win the battle and return safely.

Then, the soldiers carried the Pixiu flag and set out from Deshengmen.

It is a pity that when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered the city of Beijing.

In order to destroy the "dragon vein", some people completely destroyed the Hongyuan Temple.

Originally, the story of Pixiu seemed to be able to come to an end here.

In modern times, Hong Kong and Taiwan regard it as a fortune beast, and it is slowly becoming popular all over the country.

But according to Feng Shui masters, Pixiu is not something that everyone can wear.

Some people can't suppress it, but will achieve the opposite consequences.

Of course, these are not the scope of Lin Chao's research.

He buys these pieces of jewelry for peace of mind.

In case there is something dirty behind it, don't say anything about it if you have a pimple in your heart.

If something really happens in the future, then I will blame myself for the rest of my life.

Rasol's face turned a little pale, but he still shook his head stubbornly.

"Mr. Defa, what we did today was just a deal. And I guarantee that the jewelry is clean and not stained with any stains. ”

Lin Chao smiled.

He also took out a box and placed it in front of Lasol.

"I got a gemstone a few days ago, and there has been no viable cutting plan, or you can help me design it, and the cost will never be a problem."

The Abyssal Gate brought back a lot of gems.

The cold and hot ones are sold, and they are sold out in the Year of the Monkey.

Lin Chao also brought some this time, one was to find an opportunity to sell it.

The other is to find a way to process it into jewelry, which is even more expensive.

Rasol hesitated for a moment, but opened the box.

In an instant, his eyes widened.

"God, such a big Paraiba tourmaline!"
