The torture technique waited for less than five minutes under the antique city in the south of the city, and Fan Junyi arrived, and it was none other than Fan Meng who drove him, this bit of torture was not expected, no, it should be said that he deliberately blocked the Fan family except for Fan Junyi in his mind, because once he thought of Fan Meng, he would think of He Chenxue.

When Fan Jun got out of the car, Fan Meng glanced at the torture technique, nodded politely, and then drove away, although the etiquette should be counted, but the punishment technique still saw two words in the eyes of this man who was slightly younger than himself - arrogance.

Fan Meng is different from his father, Fan Junyi's arrogance is internal and deliberately hidden, after all, Jiang is old and spicy, and Fan Junyi has also changed from a stupid person step by step to what he is now, so he knows very well what will happen if he often puts arrogance on his face, but Fan Junyi will still show his arrogance from time to time, he doesn't look down on many people, and often analyzes things with self-centeredness, but the truth he talks about and the conclusions he draws from analyzing things are irrefutable.

"Let's go, follow me upstairs." Fan Jun went upstairs with his umbrella, walked straight to the innermost jade shop, took out a jade pendant, and handed it to the boss.

The boss took the jade pendant and looked at Fan Junyi puzzled, Fan Junyi took out 500 yuan in cash at the same time, the boss understood, and turned around and entered the small compartment behind the shelf.

Torture sat there, looking at Fan Junyi, who continued to smoke his pipe there, and did not speak.

Twenty minutes later, the boss came back with the jade pendant, and at the same time handed Fan Jun an appraisal book, after Fan Jun took it, nodded slightly, led the torture to leave, and then went to another house, as concocted, just like that, with the same jade pendant each time to pay 500 yuan to get three appraisals.

Fan Junyi then came to the side of the corner of the stairs, handed the jade pendant to the torture technique, and asked, "Boss Punishment, you can help me see, what kind of quality is this?" ”

Holding the torture technique in his hand, he shook his head and said: "This can only be said to be jade, if you bargain on the roadside stall, you can buy it within a hundred yuan." ”

Fan Junyi then handed the appraisal to the criminal technique, and the criminal technique took it, looking at the grade of the jade written on the three appraisal books as "grade A", the polarization, transparency, refractive index and other data written were different, and the names of the inspectors or appraisers below were also handwritten, as well as the official seal of the inspection station.

The torture technique handed all the things back to Fan Junyi, without saying a word, in fact, how could he not understand these things? It's just that because of the rules of the industry, because there are no too clear laws and regulations, and because too many people in this industry will take advantage of the loopholes of the law, they can only clear themselves.

"The so-called appraisal certificate can only distinguish the true from the false and can not judge the quality of the quality, which you and I are clear, the monitoring station issued a certificate, they are out of the so-called counter in the shopping mall out of the certificate is basically the same, but are not issued by the Quality Supervision Bureau, in China as long as the CMA national measurement certification mark of the institution can issue such a certificate, on the appraisal results will be written in the word 'A-level', so what is A-level?" Fan Jun said clearly word by word, "The concept of A-grade is originally very vague, and many people think that as long as it is A-grade, it is a good thing, but in fact, as long as the jade is natural, it has not undergone dyeing and other fraudulent treatments, but it has only done normal technological processes, and it is collectively referred to as A-grade." ”

Xingshu nodded: "Godfather, I understand all this, but I don't know what you mean?" ”

Fan Junyi continued: "In a certain aspect, the appraisal is like a jade ID card, just like a person, a person with an ID card can only represent that he is a person, and where he is from, etc., and it is impossible to indicate the quality of this person on the ID card, whether he is a good person or a bad person, right?" Therefore, the quality and value of jade cannot be reflected in the certificate, because the price is a market behavior. ”

Xingshu looked at the certificate in Fan Jun's hand and said: "But if you really want to check, the certificate in your hand can prove that it is fake, because there is a problem with the data, and those who do this all year round, especially jewelry and jade appraisers, as long as they look at the certificate and look at the real thing, they will know that the data has a big deviation." ”

Fan Jun smiled, held up the appraisal book and said, "Criminal art, who do you think this appraisal is for?" For professionals? No, these are for people who don't understand, these are not fake certificates, and the authenticity can be found on the website. ”

"Even if you can see it, what if you can see it? It cannot be said that the corresponding goods are real, but only that the certificate is real! ”

Fan Jun said: "Yes, you know, I know, other peers know, people who have been in this industry for many years know, but those who buy jade in the store, about 95% of them are fat people who don't understand, the state has no standards for collection, and the law is not clearly restricted, connoisseurs also rely on experience and senses to judge, even if they are wrong, they will not be responsible, you and I have eyes to go, right?" ”

Torture pointed to the certificate in his hand: "But if you make a mistake, it's a crime." ”

"It's just civil liability." Fan Jun stood at the trash can and burned one of them, "That's all." ”

Torture looked at the certificate that was still burning on the lid of the trash can, and said nothing, he knew that these were the darkest, darkest sides, but who could stop these? If you stop it, it is equivalent to blocking people's money, as the saying goes, blocking people's money is like killing the whole family.

Fan Jun rubbed his fingers: "Jewelry and jade testing is not mandatory, there are no regulations, and the reason why merchants sometimes look for the Quality Supervision Bureau is that consumers are willing to believe in the Quality Supervision Bureau, and they are not willing to believe them, so as long as the certificate is here, the first impression of consumers is good, and then it depends on how the seller plays tricks, do you know how much the most expensive jade sold this year in this antique city in the south of the city?" ”

Xingshu glanced at the distance and said: "It is a family heirloom Gao Gu jade, the earliest seller is a loser from Qiqihar, who sold 600,000 here, and felt that he had made a fortune, so he went to buy a BMW and drove it back." But the owner of the acquisition was sent to an auction house in Beijing, and the starting price given by the auction house was 800,000 yuan, which was auctioned by a Chinese-American for 3.5 million yuan, and then it was sold in New York, where it was finally auctioned for 800,000 US dollars, almost 5 million yuan, at Sotheby's annual Chinese jade sale. ”

Fan Jun shook his head and smiled: "600,000 becomes 3.5 million, 3.5 million becomes 5 million, if this piece of ancient jade can be added to a true and false, false and real story, and then published in the newspaper or rendered by other means, then the final price of that piece of jade will more than double, even if you don't do this, next, the value of the jade will gradually increase over time." ”

Torture asked, "Godfather, what do you want to say?" ”

Fan Junyi looked into the distance: "I want to say that in the past few decades, the Jade Casting Society has almost controlled the price trend of jade in the entire three eastern provinces, do you believe it?" ”

Xingshu shook his head: "This is impossible, these things can't be controlled by humans?" ”

"Humans can't control it?" Fan Jun smiled and said, "Torture, you're still too tender, didn't you say it too?" There are no absolutes, only relatives. But from a certain point of view, under a special relative, the absolute will be born. ”

Torture looked at Fan Junyi: "You guys...... What exactly was done? ”

"Control the supply channels, control the inspection gates, the large gold, silver and jade stores have our people, that is to say, ......" Fan Junyi took the ordinary jade pendant in his hand, "I said that this thing is worth 50,000, it is worth 50,000, I said that this thing is worthless, it is just a stone on the side of the road, no, it may not even be as good as a stone!" ”

Standing there, he felt that it was still too incredible, he didn't believe that the jade would be so strong that he could cover the sky with one hand, to do this, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky, not to mention that such an organization had to raise so many disciples, how could he earn enough money?

After Xingshu raised this question, Fan Jun turned around and went downstairs, led Xingshu to the nearest shopping mall, and in a certain jade store, pointed to a good quality jade bracelet on the counter and said, "How much do you think it's worth?" ”

Xingshu shook his head: "It's in the counter, I'm not sure if I don't get it." ”

Fan Jun said: "The sign says 350,000 yuan, but you have to ask the salesperson here, and she will tell you that if you are holding an event now, you will get a 50% or 30% discount." ”

The torture said: "The three folds of thirty-five thousand are ten thousand and ten thousand zero." ”

"You multiply ten thousand by forty-five percent." As soon as Fan Jun spoke, he smiled and nodded to the woman wearing the manager's sign in the distance, but the woman did not step forward, but only smiled and nodded politely, and at the same time stopped several other salesmen from stepping forward.

The torturer used his mobile phone to calculate: "Four thousand seven hundred and twenty-five." ”

Fan Junyi said in a low voice: "Therefore, the purchase price of this bracelet should be about five thousand, and the profit they make is forty-five percent of what you got before, which is already considered low, because you have to deduct the cost of operating this store, labor and the like." ”

Xingshu frowned and lowered his voice: "Then what do you earn?" ”

Fan Jun looked down at the bracelet and said with a smile: "Casting jade will earn forty-five percent of the purchase price of this bracelet!" ”

Torture was stunned: "What? The purchase price of this bracelet? ”

"How do you think this bracelet came from? Do you think the jade salespeople in these shops are experts? Fan Jun looked at the torture technique.

Torture shook his head: "Of course not, but this one is not ......"

"It's too profitable, isn't it?" Fan Jun smiled, "The salespeople here don't know the real purchase price, let alone what the profit is, they don't understand, at most it is the level of the five flowers, they don't know how to pretend to understand, because only if they believe it, will they make customers believe it, do they know why they need to train them?" It is to fool them first, so that they can fool customers, this is one of the things that the Jade Casting Club has done for so many years. ”

As soon as Fan Jun finished speaking, he got up and walked outside, and Xingshu glanced at the manager in the distance, and the manager glanced at Xingshu, and his eyes turned to another place, all as if Fan Junyi and Xingshu had never been here before.

The torturer chased him out and asked, "Why are you telling me this?" ”

"This is only part of the story, and if it continues to develop, a lot of things will be completely out of your control." Fan Jun said as he walked, "Now the hand of the Jade Casting Society has reached out to the auction house, and the relationship with many collectors is also very good, so as long as the Jade Casting Club has a word, no, as long as the four major leaders of the Jade Casting Society raise their hands and vote through, a steady stream of money will roll in, half a year ago, you know the mysterious Han Dynasty jade plate at the auction, right?" The original starting price of the auction was 1.2 million, but the three of them raised their hands and directly turned into two million, plus the black-box operation and the back-to-back agitation of some collectors, and finally sold it privately to a fool at a price of six million. ”

"Privately?" The torturer immediately understood, "You dropped that thing?" If the auction house sells it and the thing in his hand is fake, then the auction house is finished, but if it is private, it is verified in person, and there are witnesses, the buyer can only consider himself unlucky. ”

Fan Jun stopped: "That Han Dynasty jade plate, when we imitated it ourselves, the cost added up to 50,000 yuan, a net profit of 5.95 million, drug trafficking does not have such a high profit, and even if he calls the police, he can't catch us, the best deal in the world is this, right?" But what about in the long run? ”

Xingshu shook his head: "I can't imagine it." ”

"You know, that's why I want the Xuan family to come back and be the master again." Fan Jun said, "No matter what, even if the Xuan family is selfish or whatever, at least they won't do this kind of unconscionable thing, of course, I am not qualified to say such things, because over the years, I have also done a lot of such things, otherwise where will I get the money to buy a detached house and a luxury car?" But I'm old and timid, and I know it's time to stop, but those three don't know. ”

Xingshu shook his head: "If the Xuan family comes back, what if the people below disobey him?" The market will be more chaotic. ”

Fan Jun raised his hand and pressed it on the shoulder of the torture technique: "That's why, I recommend you to Xuan Tong. ”

I don't know why, Xingshu suddenly said at this time, he himself had no brain at all, and just blurted out the words: "Why don't you recommend Fan Meng?" Don't recommend your son? ”

Fan Junyi seemed to expect that the torture technique would ask this, he put down his hand and said, "First, you are also my son, even if you are my godson; Second, Fan Meng is already a dead man, how can a dead man lead a huge organization? ”

The torture technique was silent, and Fan Jun smiled as soon as he finished speaking: "I know, you still want to know, if you compare you with Fan Meng, who is more powerful, right?" And all of your thoughts are not out of whether or not to do the first work of the Jade Casting Society, but out of He Chenxue, man, it's normal to fight for a breath, but you are not an adolescent child, you shouldn't make comparisons with this kind of vinegar thought, it will make people think you are very naïve. ”

Xingshu nodded and said with a smile: "Godfather, just treat me as naïve, I just want to know, if I want to compare with Fan Meng, what will be the result?" ”

Fan Jun together: "If you have to compare, then there must be a judge, and the judge in this competition is definitely not me, if it is me, everyone will know that between the pro-son and the godson, I will prefer the pro-son, so there can only be one judge, and this judge is not the most powerful man, but the most suitable man for himself, I said it so clearly, you should know who the judge is?" ”

"I see." Torture nodded.

Fan Junyi sighed and said: "Torture, although I hope that the person chosen by Chenxue is you, but it is just hope, how to choose, it depends on her." ”

Torture immediately asked, "Godfather, why do you want Chenxue to choose me?" As you said before, if it's a competition, if you're a judge, you'll be biased towards Fan Meng. ”

"A son is better than a father!" After Fan Jun said this, he turned around and strode away, waving his hand as he walked, which means "goodbye" and "this is the end of today".

Xingshu stood there, looking around, always feeling that there were people from the Jade Casting Society everywhere around, and even felt that since his debut for so many years, all his experience in the industry had become worthless in an instant, at this moment, he really wanted to find someone to talk to, although the first thing that came to mind was He Chenxue, but then it was erased from his mind.

Regardless of He Fenglei or Fan Junyi, or someone else, the more he pushed him towards He Chenxue, the more he didn't want to take another half step forward, and the reason for this was only because of Fan Meng.

At this time, Fan Meng was driving He Chenxue for a ride, along the river embankment from one end to the other, it was almost the Spring Festival, although the road was jammed, most people were upset, but Fan Meng was very interested, as if a dead person was resurrected, and cherished his current life even more.

He Chenxue, who was sitting in the co-pilot, kept looking ahead, and the scattered words of Fan Meng that she heard in her left ear quickly came out of her right ear, and she didn't stay in her mind at all - after Fan Meng came back, she knew very well that her thoughts at every moment were not on the man beside her, and all that flashed was the face of the torture, but the kind of thing between her and the torture was very subtle, so subtle that it was very inconspicuous, and all people saw was trance, like a shadow without a specific outline.

"Chenxue, let's get married." Fan Meng suddenly said such a sentence, this sentence pierced He Chenxue's body like a needle, she was shocked, her mind instantly became blank, she didn't know what to say, so she had to pretend that she didn't hear anything.

Fan Meng had been waiting there, not only waiting for the red light to turn green, but also for He Chenxue's answer.

Finally, the red light turned green, Fan Meng also suddenly smiled, stepped on the accelerator and said, "Because of that man, right?" ”

He Chenxue still couldn't say a word, the previous silence meant that she was very confused, and what does the current silence represent? Is it default? He Chenxue didn't know it herself.

"No matter who he is, no matter what he wants to do, even if he can change something, it can't stop my feelings for you." Fan Meng looked ahead and said, because He Chenxue beside him had been silent, he seemed to be talking to himself, and this kind of self-talk to He Chenxue was undoubtedly equivalent to a declaration of war.
