Chapter 0223: Buying Jade
The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man, in his forties, waiting at the door of the office early, when he saw the welcome lady appearing with Zeng Zhi, he smiled and said, "How many rough stones does this gentleman need?" Is it an unsolved boulder or an unsolved boulder? ”
Before Zeng Zhi came, he didn't know much about jade, so he asked, "Oh? What does unsolved jade say? What about the unraveled jade? ”
The smile on the shopkeeper's face remained unchanged and said, "It seems that this gentleman doesn't know much about jade." If this is the case, I advise Mr. to invest in finished jade, which is more secure and convenient for identification. ”
While speaking, the shopkeeper had invited Zeng Zhi into the office, let him sit down, and asked the welcome lady to help serve tea and pour water next to him. Keep her busy, and at the same time let her listen to the side, how much business she makes, and give her a cut.
Zeng Zhi smiled: "Hehe, I may not know much about your industry terminology, but I still have some understanding of jade, and I can also distinguish a few points from the quality of jade, let alone the real and fake." I said bluntly, I have five million, I don't know what to invest in for the time being, I heard a friend say that jade can maintain its value, so I want to buy a batch of jade rough investment. It doesn't matter how big it is, as long as it's of good quality and the price is right, I'll buy it. ”
What he said was completely false, because the real use of the jade he bought was not for outsiders. Let's not talk about whether others believe it or not, if he encounters a powerful cultivator and hears that he actually knows how to refine weapons, then he will be in big trouble. After all, according to his cheap master, Qinglian layman, there were very few cultivators who knew how to refine weapons, so every time they appeared, they would either be enslaved or offered as a bodhisattva.
The reason for the two completely different results depends on the strength of the person who has mastered the refining technique. Those refiners with great strength were naturally offered. And those refiners who don't have much strength can only be enslaved.
Zeng Zhi is now just a rookie who can barely compare with the monks of the foundation building period, and once he is discovered, his end can be imagined.
"Oh? Million? The shopkeeper's smile became more enthusiastic, and he said, "It's really a big deal." I heard what Mr. meant, I want to unravel the jade rough, and each piece can determine the approximate quality, and I don't want to bet on the stone, right? ”
Zeng Zhi was surprised: "The jade rough can also be gambled?" Hehe, I thought only the jade rough could bet on it. ”
The shopkeeper took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Open the door to do business, what can't you gamble?" However, the jade rough is not like the jade rough, there is a large gambling stone market, and the jade rough stone is generally only gambling with the dealer, hehe, don't mention it. By the way, don't have your surname Wen, Wen Bihua, I don't know your surname? ”
Zeng Zhi said: "Boss Wen is polite, don't have your surname Zeng." It's not early. Show me the ingredients, and I'll buy some to take away. ”
Zeng Zhi didn't drink tea, in a place where he was not familiar with life, everything had to be careful, especially this kind of big business, there was nothing wrong with being careful.
Boss Wen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is easy to say, does Mr. Zeng want mountain material or seed material?" Are there any requirements for the place of origin? ”
Boss Wen didn't know if he wanted to find out how much Zeng Zhi knew about jade, or if he had other ideas, so he was not in a hurry at all.
Fortunately, Zeng Zhi still has a little understanding of these basic knowledge. The best jade in China is Hetian jade, but there are also good quality jade in other provinces. Mountain material and seed material need to be divided into grades on the price, not the bigger the more valuable, the quality is the most important.
Zeng Zhi smiled faintly and said: "There is no requirement for the origin, no requirement for color, and no requirement for size." As long as it is real jade, there is no requirement for mountain seeds. ”
When he saw Boss Wen put on this posture, he didn't rush anymore, wanting to see what the other party wanted to do. Find out that you don't understand jade and cheat yourself out of a sum of money? Shoddy, cheating?
Wen Bihua was stunned for a long time when he heard Zeng Zhi's request, what kind of request is this, to put it bluntly, there is no requirement, as long as it is jade, buy it?
………………
Speaking of this, Boss Wen didn't dare to continue asking, because he had seen the vigilance in Zeng Zhi's eyes, for fear that the customer would have any doubts in his heart, he hurriedly picked up the phone on the table, called the person in charge of the warehouse, and instructed: "Send a part of the mountain material and seed material in the warehouse, the price is best to pick a cheaper one, and the expensive top product also chooses a few samples for the customer's reference." Hurry up and get it straight to my office. ”
Hanging up the phone, Boss Wen explained to Zeng Zhi: "The warehouse is in the backyard, and it will be delivered soon." ”
Zeng Zhi nodded, noncommittal, but in his heart he was pondering the meaning of Boss Wen's words.
It's interesting to think about, it seems that the other party regards himself as an investor who doesn't understand anything, and he is afraid that the price will be expensive and scare away the customer, so he asked the person in charge to pick the cheap one and bring expensive samples for customers to compare.
Soon, a person in charge walked into Boss Wen's office with two workers and two security guards, carrying large bags of rough jade.
When I opened the bag, there were all kinds of jade rough stones, all of which were not big, the small ones were like pigeon eggs, the big ones were like slaps, and the colors were mostly cyan, white, and yellow.
Zeng Zhi picked up a piece of jade with his hand, and then quickly put it down, and checked every piece of jade he brought.
In Boss Wen's puzzled gaze, Zeng Zhi said: "Except for these few pieces, they are all quite good." Estimate it, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it. ”
Zeng Zhi seemed to be very casual, so he picked out more than a dozen bright-looking stones and threw them on Boss Wen's desk.
Boss Wen's face changed slightly, he picked up the jade and observed it carefully, and then his face became embarrassed, and he said: "Mr. Zeng is an expert, these jade quality is indeed too poor, maybe the warehouse management personnel did not screen carefully." There are electronic scales here, and the price of each type of jade is different, so we can calculate it carefully. ”
As he spoke, Boss Wen glared at the person in charge of the warehouse fiercely, and asked him to take away all these eyesore fake jade, personally bring an electronic scale, help Zeng Zhi weigh it, and tell him what the price of this kind of jade is and where it comes from.
In the end, the price of these bags of jade rough stones was more than three million, and Boss Wen wiped it out and received Zeng Zhi three million.
………………
Such a pile of jade rough stones only collected three million, which was cheaper than Zeng Zhi expected.
Of course, this is related to Zeng Zhi quietly picking out more than a dozen fake jade mixed in it, and the price offered by Boss Wen is also very fair, I am afraid that Zeng Zhi's origin will be messed up before he finds out.
Zeng Zhi swiped the card, packed these jade rough stones in a big bag, and carried them out. As for the original purchase and sale of five million jade, no one mentioned it again.
