Chapter 50: The Gap
Gu Ming didn't care about the later couple, and while waiting for the boss, she observed the other jade ornaments displayed in the cabinet.
Most of the things she usually comes into contact with are jade, but jadeite is rarely touched. Although jadeite is a kind of jade, it was discovered relatively late, and it is not easy to mine, so the time of its rise is even later. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi loved jadeite, and wearing jadeite formed a trend.
In modern history, Song Meiling was also a person who loved jadeite and became obsessed, making jadeite a fashion symbol for a time. In recent years, people's material water products are getting higher and higher, and they have a different understanding of jadeite, and wearing jadeite has gradually become a fashion, however, due to the increasingly scarce ore of jadeite, coupled with hype and other factors, the price of jadeite, especially the high-grade jadeite, has risen all the way, and the increase is staggering.
"Is it really glass?" Suddenly, the couple let out a small exclamation and burrowed into Gu Ming's ears.
"Look at this water head, this transparency, if this kind of color Buddha pendant is sold in the mall, it must be worth at least ten or two hundred thousand, our store is directly to get the goods, so it will be cheaper, this is the most point, today is also your luck, if you come tomorrow, maybe it will be sold out." The young man gushed to the couple.
Gu Ming was attracted by the voices of several people, and couldn't help but look up, only to see that the couple was holding a small white jade Buddha pendant in their hands, and at first glance the water head was indeed very sufficient, very transparent.
"How much is that?" The old couple seemed a little moved.
"The price in our store is 80,000 yuan." The young man replied.
Gu Ming listened attentively, she didn't have any opinion on this price before she had a close look at the jadeite, if it was really an ice jadeite and the quality was good, 80,000 yuan would definitely not be expensive.
"Eighty thousand...... Can it be cheaper? We heard from an acquaintance that said that the price of the things in your store is fair, so we came here on purpose, otherwise we would go straight to the mall. The old couple frowned.
"Eighty thousand is already very cheap, you can go to any shopping mall to see, this kind of quality is definitely more than this price, and besides, this price is not set by my part-time job, even if it is less, it is impossible to give you much less." The young man's eyes glanced at the hut that the female boss had entered, and then glanced at Gu Ming, who pretended not to notice the situation on their side, and said in a low voice: "But if you want something cheaper, it's not impossible, it's just that the quality is a little worse than this." ”
"What kind?" The old couple asked curiously.
The young man quickly bent down, didn't know where to find a small box, put it in front of the old couple, and said in a low voice: "This is what I took back privately, and it is the same as the purchase channel of the store owner, my jade Buddha is actually similar to what you just saw, but the price is much cheaper." ”
"How much?" The old couple put the jade Buddha secretly taken out by the young man in their hands and asked in a low voice.
"If you want, just make up an auspicious amount of 8,000 yuan." The young man whispered.
“8000? That's a tenfold difference! The old couple was shocked, as if they couldn't believe that the price of this jadeite of similar quality could be so different.
"Be quiet!" The young man glanced warily in the direction of the hut, and continued, "If my boss knew that I was doing such a thing, I would definitely not be able to stay here." As long as there is a little difference between jadeite, the price difference can be dozens or even hundreds of times. I'm not saying that my Jade Buddha is a little bit worse than the one just now, this is a little inferior, so it's cheaper. But the difference is not visible to most people, and if you don't say it, who will know. ”
"So this isn't glass?" The husband of the old couple seemed to be more shrewd, looking at the young man suspiciously.
"It's a little inferior to the glass, but it's still in very good condition." The young man pointed to the Jade Buddha, and then continued: "But you can also compare, it doesn't look much worse, 8,000 yuan is worth thousands of dollars." If this is really a glass jadeite, it can't be cheap here, or it's fake. ”
The couple looked at each other and felt that there seemed to be some truth in what the young man said. I want to too, how can the real glass species be so cheap, but it is possible to be a little bit cheaper, just like ice species and the like.
"Anyway, I'm just going to ask you, whatever you want or not, I only have this one in my hand, I originally wanted to keep it for myself, but it's a little tight in my hands these days, so I thought about whether to sell it." The young man sighed, and then continued: "If you want to buy this from me, you can't just buy it here, we have to go outside, if my boss sees it, I won't be able to keep my job." ”
"You Jade Buddha ......"
……
The young man and the old couple lowered their voices a little, as if they wanted to talk further.
No matter how sharp Gu Ming's ears were, he couldn't hear what they were saying clearly at this time.
It's just that she inevitably has some doubts in her heart, judging from the appearance of the old couple, it seems that they don't know much about jadeite, and they will believe whatever the young man says. The young man just said that his jade Buddha was a little lower than the one that the old couple had seen before, but how many times, which times, and what kind of variety they were, but repeatedly emphasized the price of things.
Her words and deeds always made her feel unsteady.
At this time, the boss who went into the hut to get the jade buckle walked out, and said to Gu Ming with a little apology: "I'm really sorry, I seem to have put that thing upstairs, can I trouble you to wait a little longer." ”
"Yes, I'm not in a hurry." Gu Ming nodded.
"Xiao Chen, I'll go upstairs, you look at it." The female boss said to the young man.
When the female boss came out, the young man quickly put away his jade Buddha and stopped talking with the old couple. At this time, when he heard the female boss's command, he just raised his head and answered, indicating that he knew.
After the female boss left, the young man began to talk quietly with the old couple again, and at the same time glanced at Gu Ming several times as if inadvertently.
Gu Ming sat for a while, seemed to be a little impatient and got up and walked around, walked around the surrounding display cabinets, walked to the vicinity of the young man and the old couple, pointed to a small Fu gourd that looked like an ice seed and said to the young man, "Can you take this out and show me." ”
"Please wait a minute." The young man glanced at Gu Ming, quickly whispered a few words to the old couple, and then opened the cabinet according to Gu Ming's meaning.
Just when the young man opened the cabinet to take something, Gu Ming glanced at it casually, and looked at the jade Buddha in the hands of the middle-aged couple in surprise: "I also have a jade Buddha similar to this one, but unfortunately I accidentally lost it, I just want to buy another one back!" ”
When the old couple heard Gu Ming's words, they subconsciously tightened their hands holding the Jade Buddha.
Gu Ming realized that she seemed to be a little abrupt, and smiled at the old couple embarrassedly, then turned to the young man who had already taken out the blessing gourd and said, "Is there any kind of jade Buddha in their hands, can you take it out and show me?" ”
