Chapter 203: A Shrewd Businessman
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! As Xu Lao walked, he continued to introduce to An Xiu'er, and said: "These rough stones are divided into regions, we like what the bid, we write our name or family, business house, and then bid to put it in the iron box, and when the auction starts, the steward here will open the iron box and let people clean it up, and put the same mark in one piece, and the one with the highest price will win." ”
"Well, it's a lot faster than an auction." An Xiuer walked and looked at it, but she was more and more worried in her heart, she was a little worried about gains and losses, for fear that the rough stone she fancied would be robbed by others because of the low price, but she was afraid that the price would not be cost-effective.
"The people at this auction house are really shrewd." An Xiuer couldn't help but complain, but it was just a complaint, she really didn't know anything about this auction.
"How can anyone who is not shrewd in business, it depends on the level of each person." Xu Lao looked very open.
"Also, as long as you make sure that there is jadeite in the rough stone you fancie, and you don't get an empty shell at a high price, then you won't lose money." An Xiu'er said a word, and then she no longer said anything about the rules of the auction, anyway, these things, even if she complains a lot, she can only abide by them, besides, Kanshi, in addition to strength, there is an element of luck, this time, she hopes she can have good luck.
"Then let's get started." As soon as Xu Lao said, these Kanshi masters spontaneously separated, and behind each Kanshi master, there were probably two or three guards, and An Xiu'er was the object of everyone's protection.
"Madam, you just look at this area, we will go to another place, if you are not sure, make a note of it, and wait until the last day, we will discuss it again." Xu Lao said.
"Okay." An Xiuer nodded and parted ways with everyone.
She took An Tieshi, Spring Equinox Autumn Rain and the other four guards to watch in this area, while Qian Lao and Xu Lao took the four guards to other places.
After these stone masters left, An Tieshi asked in a low voice: "Sister, these stones seem to me to be the same, can you see what jade is underneath here?" ”
"I can't see it." An Xiu'er laughed a little when she heard this, shook her head, but casually walked in front of a rough stone and said: "We can tell from the surface of this stone, big brother, you see, the color and veins of this rough stone skin are different from other stones. ”
"There are so many rough stones of different colors, I can't see it." An Tieshi shook his head, but he also looked at it with great interest.
An Xiu'er smiled and told the maid on the side: "Write down this rough stone, zero zero zero five, to be determined, the reserve price is five hundred taels, and the highest price can be one thousand taels." ”
After hearing An Xiu'er's words, he hurriedly wrote down the information written by An Xiu'er with a pen, and An Tieshi on the side admired An Xiu'er very much: "Sister, you can see it so quickly?" It's amazing. ”
"I'm not sure, but I'd better write it down first, and when I've finished reading this area, I'll focus on it when I have time." An Xiuer replied.
An Tieshi scratched his head and said, "Sister, you are really smart. ”
An Xiu'er turned her head and smiled at An Tieshi, did not speak, but continued to check, An Tieshi did not speak, just followed behind An Xiu'er, paying attention to the surroundings from time to time, and sometimes following to look at these rough stones, but he couldn't see anything.
An Xiu'er watched while remembering, her speed is very fast, the surrounding stone masters may look at a piece of rough time, she has already looked at two or three pieces, this auction is very large, there are thousands of rough stones, if the speed is too slow, she is worried that she will miss a lot of good rough stones, so the strategy she uses is to find a needle in a haystack first, and then carefully select among the rough stones she has marked.
An Tieshi saw that An Xiu'er was working so hard, so he also searched on the side, and he saw a piece of rough stone showing a little green, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister, come and see, there is jade in here." ”
An Xiu'er looked at the rough stone in front of her and heard An Tieshi's voice, so she walked over and said, "Where?" ”
"Here, you see, there is green in this crack, and there may be rough stones in it." An Tieshi pointed to the rough stone in front of him and showed it to An Xiu'er.
An Xiu'er saw that the cracks of this rough stone were very obvious, extending from the surface of the stone skin to the center of the stone, and through these cracks, the inside of the rough stone was a touch of green, as if there was jadeite.
"How?" An Tieshi saw An Xiu'er coming to see, and hurriedly asked.
"This rough stone is green, but I don't know what the quality of the jadeite in it is, and I don't know how much jadeite there is in it, maybe there is only this little bit of jadeite in the crack, if this is the case, then we will lose a lot of money, after all, the reserve price of this rough stone is two thousand taels."
"Two thousand taels is so expensive? It's a money grab. An Tieshi was a little staggered.
"There's no way, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer." An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "I just took a look, the chance of high-grade jadeite in this rough stone is not high, and since it has this crack, presumably there will be a lot of bidders at that time, so we still don't bid." ”
"Okay." An Tieshi saw the jadeite in the rough stone for the first time, but An Xiuer did not bid, which made him a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, he has a specialization in the art industry, and he is not good at kanshi, if An Xiuer really bids and wins the bid, and there is no jade in the rough stone, then he will definitely be even more guilty.
When An Xiu'er saw his face, she said: "Big brother, we still have more than two days, you still have a chance to choose the rough stone, if you see a piece at that time, you like it very much, I will bid for you to take a picture." ”
"I'm not a child, but I have your heart." An Tieshi nodded, knowing that a few thousand taels of silver was not a matter for the Zhang family now, so he didn't make any more excuses.
Until nightfall, everyone was ready to go back to rest, An Tieshi did not find the original stone he liked, and he didn't look at it again, he knew his level, or be his own guard honestly, in case he really fancy a rough stone, and then fall in love with the gambling stone, then it will be troublesome.
In these two hours, An Xiu'er has only seen about a hundred rough stones, she originally thought that her speed was fast, but in this way, there are still two days to go tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and she can't see all the rough stones here at all.
She plans to finish reading all the rough stones in this auction tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, she will select the right bids from the rough stones she recorded, and she has to negotiate the price with other Kanshi masters, so that the time is a little insufficient, it seems that she will speed up tomorrow, she can't finish reading all the rough stones, or she has to carefully look at the rough stones in her area, as for the other areas, she has roughly seen it, anyway, there are other Kanshi masters.
After returning to the Zhang family's villa, all the Kanshi masters gathered in the flower hall, and each said what they saw today, and An Xiu'er sat on the top and listened quietly.
"The quality of this rough is much worse than last year's rough stone." One of the Kanshi masters was the first to speak, with some grumbling in his tone.
"Yes, I looked at it all night today, and I couldn't see a few rough stones suitable for bidding." Another Kanshi Master chimed in.
Everyone nodded their heads, all lamenting that the quality of this year's rough was not as good as last year's.
"Old Qian, what is the quality of the rough stone you looked at tonight?" Someone asked.
"It's a bit rewarding, but Master Liu also happened to take people to see the area I looked at, so I think they will also bid." Qian Lao said.
"Yes, although these rough stones seem to be many, there are not many jadeite, and there are many more Kanshi masters this year than before, it is really more monks and less porridge." A stone master sighed.
"What kind of monk does he care about more porridge or less?" Xu Lao couldn't see others shirking and complaining, and scolded when he heard the words: "As long as you take care of your own areas and find the rough stones with jade, if all you look for are some broken stones, even if no one competes with you, you are not like this!" ”
"Yes, Old Xu, you're right." Qian Lao hurriedly said, and the other Kanshi masters also admitted their mistakes, Xu Lao saw them like this, his tone softened a little, and said: "Before you start Kanshi, you start to show your timidity, what does it look like?" ”
"Yes, we'll watch with our hearts." Qian Lao echoed again.
An Xiuer thinks that Qian Lao is a bit like a peacemaker, and there are also some good people, Xu Lao is a more arrogant person on weekdays, and he is too lazy to deal with ordinary people, that is, An Xiuer asks some more common sense questions, and Xu Lao is too lazy to answer, but Qian Lao is more enthusiastic, and many questions are happy to answer.
"I don't know how your harvest is, Old Xu?" Someone at the bottom asked.
"What do you want to tell you about the old man's harvest?" Xu Lao was reluctant to answer them.
An Xiu'er saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so she said softly: "Old Xu, you can talk to them, so that they can learn from the experience." ”
Old Xu snorted coldly, "Old man, I saw several good rough stones today, and it is very likely that there are ice species or even higher-grade jadeites in them." ”
"It's still Mr. Xu, you're amazing." And they all echoed him.
Xu Lao preached again: "What's the use of you praising me for being amazing? I don't have ten eyes, I told you a long time ago, when you are looking at the stone, don't care about some people next to you, just look at your own stone without distraction, so that the efficiency will be improved? It's much more useful to look at the rough than to pat yourself on the back! ”
Xu Lao's attitude towards An Xiu'er during this time was relatively mild, but his tone was not gentle towards these Kanshi masters whose level was not as good as his, he was just such a person, he respected those who were better than him, and he was not as good as him, he had always been too lazy to take care of them, and he had never had a good face for the Zhang family, which were not as good as his Kanshi masters.
