Chapter 384: Stone
"Running is running. You don't think about any crooked ideas. Zhao Jinjin flew over with another roll of his eyes.
But Qi Si had long been used to it, and he was now thinking about how to go to the antique store and ask about the price of jade finger bones. If only it could be worth tens of millions.
After Qi Si finished eating, he asked Zhao Jinjin if he would like to go out with him. However, Zhao Jinjin quickly refused when he saw the hue on his face.
It's just right not to go with me, save trouble. Qi Si walked to the carport and got into Zhao Jinjin's car directly, after all, you can't drive an off-road vehicle to sell antiques.
"Show me the door. Qi Si said to Wang Chao, who was guarding the door, and drove out.
After Qi Si went out, he drove towards the Panjiayuan Antiquities Market in the Third Ring Road. After Qi Si parked his car, he walked towards the market. Along the way, he looked at the stalls everywhere and didn't see that the thing was good and the thing was bad.
"Boss, how do you sell this piece of jade?" Qi Si asked when he saw a jade object about the size of a finger bone on a stall, so he squatted in front of the stall.
"One hundred yuan, no bargain!" The stall owner glanced at Qi Si, seeing that he did not look like a jade buyer, and after saying a word, he continued to look down at the book in his hand.
"Here you go. I bought it. Qi Si took out a ticket from his wallet, and then took the jade in his hand.
"Boss, I bought your jade, should you introduce it to me?" Qi Si took it in his hand and looked at it, and he didn't know how to do it, so he asked.
The stall owner looked at the hundred yuan in his hand, thought about it, and gave Qi Si a rough introduction to the type of jade and the assessment of its value.
The best jade quality is Xinjiang Hetian jade, as well as Burmese jade from Yunnan. Because of the different textures, the jade in the two places is also different. How to tell the difference, the stall owner didn't say.
However, when it comes to the value of jade, one is to look at the year of production and processing, the second is to look at the handiwork, and the third is to look at the texture. Qi Si knew that his jade finger was mutton fat jade, and the handiwork was first-class, so if he didn't look carefully, he really thought it was a finger bone. But his processing year is a bit short, it is from the Qing Dynasty, and it should not be too cheap.
Qi thought about asking again, but the stall owner looked at the book again, so he simply didn't ask, and continued to walk forward.
"The jade shop in front of me is going to gamble on jade again. Let's go over and have a look!" At this time, the two people who walked behind Qi Si talked in a low voice.
Qi Si had seen it on the news, but wasn't this an antique market? How could there be such a thing? Qi Si also followed the two of them forward.
Gambling jade is a large stone from the outside, and you can probably tell that there is jade inside, but when the stone is not cut, no one knows whether the jade inside is a good jade or a stubborn stone. So the buyer will still take a big risk.
After Qi Si followed the two to the jade shop, there were already a lot of people gathered there to watch the excitement. There were a few people in the back who were bargaining with the owner of the jade shop.
After listening to it for a while, Qi Si knew a rough idea. It turned out that the buyer had taken a fancy to a piece of jade that was half-exposed on the outside and wanted to buy it at a price of 100,000 yuan. But the shopkeeper wants 300,000, otherwise he won't sell it. In the end, the two families argued between 200,000 and 250,000, and no one was willing to relax, and the opportunity to gamble on jade was lost.
Qi Si squeezed closer and looked at the stone with yin and yang eyes, and found that the texture inside was no different from the stone outside, that is: this jade was a real stone except for the jade exposed outside.
After thinking about it, Qi knew that this stone was worth one or twenty thousand, and it would be a lot to sell for two hundred thousand. So he walked up to the jade shop owner, patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Sell it!"
"Where are you from? The shopkeeper said angrily.
Qi Si was a little angry, but he still wanted the shopkeeper to help identify his jade, so he whispered, "Can you borrow a step to say something?"
"Didn't you see that I was talking about business?" The shopkeeper saw that Qi Si was still not leaving, and that something must have happened, so he wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price of the stone.
"If you want to buy this piece of jade, just say it, if your price is low, I won't consider it. "The shopkeeper also put up a shelf.
"Yes! The man who bought the jade also said angrily, he didn't want to let what he got fly away.
"Then I'm going to ask the shopkeeper if he really wants me to say it directly. "Qi Si is not a good stubble, after all, he is also a subordinate of Hades.
"Say! There's nothing bad to say. The shopkeeper straightened his back and said.
"The shopkeeper. I'll ask you again. You don't regret it. Qi Si said solemnly.
"What do I have to regret. I'm open for business. There are buying and selling, it is a matter of course, and my store is very credit-conscious. "The shopkeeper is quite good at things, and by the way, he made an advertisement for his store.
"That's a damn thing! I'm asking you once, and you really don't regret it. Qi Si said again, he didn't want to offend the shopkeeper.
"Say it!" said the shopkeeper, after a moment's thought.
"I said your stone is not worth 10,000. When Qi Si saw that the shopkeeper insisted on him, he said it directly.
"What do you say? You are responsible for what you say. The shopkeeper said angrily.
"yes! You have to be responsible. The buyer was also angry, doesn't that belittle his eyesight!
"If this piece of jade is really worth more than 200,000 yuan. I'll give the shopkeeper another amount of money at the market price. If it's not worth it. Let's talk about it first, the 200,000 he gave out will be 190,000 for me. How about it?" Qi Si also wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the shopkeeper, but if he couldn't, he could still go to other jade shops and ask for a price.
"Then let's see if you really have that much money!" The shopkeeper will not be easily fooled, if it is really worth a lot of money, how to pay the difference is also a problem.
"Okay, let's make a note then! Here are my car keys, and my ID card. You can send someone to see my car. Qi Si tossed the car keys to the shopkeeper, then took out his ID card and slapped it on the counter.
The shopkeeper was also very sensible, and when he saw that his car keys must be worth a lot of money, he didn't let anyone look at the car, but took out a piece of paper from the counter, and after writing the note, he let Qi Si and the buyer take a look. In the end, there was no problem, and all three of them signed their names on it.
After signing and paying, everyone walked to a jade cutter in the backyard.
The buyer draws several lines on the stone according to the shape of the jade, and asks the cutter to start cutting according to the direction of the line.
After a screeching sound sounded, no one saw the broken jade foam come out along the rolling direction of the saw blade.
"Smack!" There was a soft sound, and the stone was cut open. After stopping the cutter, the cutter reached out and took down the two stones that were placed on the cutter.
