Chapter 31: Nothing
In the afternoon, despite the strong sun overhead, people's enthusiasm has not diminished, and the crowd in the stadium is still bustling and extremely turbulent.
Zhang Weidong, Liu Ding, Gao Jie, Wang Fatzi, Little Nurse, and Liu Ying took a lunch break in the hotel and caught up with the start of the afternoon session on time.
"Let's go to gamble on stones, who will follow us all the way? Gao Beauty, it's very exciting, really don't go?" said Wang Fatzi bewilderedly.
He, the little nurse, and Liu Ying did not change their itinerary, and still went to see the gambling stones, what ancient jade, finished jade, they were not interested in at all.
Zhang Weidong is interested in Guyu, Wang Fatzi is not going to persuade him, I really don't know what is beautiful in the Guyu District of Ludao, it is expensive to death! After persuading for a while at noon, Zhang Weidong was not moved at all.
"Me?" Gao Jie looked at Zhang Weidong and Liu Ding, hesitated, but then thought about it, she didn't know how to gamble on stones, and it was in vain to go. "I'll go with Wei Dong, anyway, I don't know how to gamble on stones!"
"Okay, let's go!" Wang Fat Man rolled his eyes, said hello, and squeezed into the crowd with beautiful women.
"Hehe, let's go too-" Zhang Weidong smiled and said to the second daughter.
Naturally, Liu Ding and Gao Jie held hands and followed Zhang Weidong together.
After the morning's trip, Zhang Weidong was not interested in the ancient jade in the booth, so he did not stop at all and walked towards the tradable area. The jade there belongs to a private collection and can be traded.
"Weidong, aren't you going to the booth?" asked Gao Jie in surprise.
"If you don't go, you can't eat it there, it's better not to go, this is a private booth, you can trade, jade meets someone, jade is a very magical thing, maybe I can pick it up!" Zhang Weidong said jokingly.
"Giggles, it's like it's true!
Gao Jie was a little unconvinced.
Isn't jade just a special stone, with life?
She naturally didn't know what Zhang Weidong thought.
In this regard, Zhang Weidong smiled and said: "What about you, what do you want to buy, I can give you a consultation, at least I am here, if you want to buy ancient jade, you will definitely not be able to buy new jade!"
"Why haven't I heard you know this, when did you learn it?" Gao Jie said in surprise. "Do you really understand? don't slap your swollen face and become fat, then you will be ashamed!"
"Believe it or not, I haven't been seen yet!"
I didn't say anything in the next sentence, I haven't bought jade, so naturally there is no problem of eye-catching. However, this does not bother Zhang Weidong, and the truth can still be distinguished.
Seeing that Zhang Weidong was serious, not like a joke, Gao Jie rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, if you buy a fake one, see if I don't beat you!"
The little girl Liu Ding didn't talk much, but she kept pursing her lips and smiling. The little girl doesn't have so many eyes, and she won't be jealous when she sees Zhang Weidong and Gao Jie so casual.
Zhang Weidong had the heart to buy a piece of jade for Liu Ding, but he really didn't like jade in general, and good jade was hard to find, and it was even more expensive.
"Xiao Zhang?"
Someone was shouting at him.
Zhang Weidong heard detached, and when he turned around, it was Old Man Xu, who was walking around this area with two old men and two middle-aged people at this time.
As one of the organizers, one of the directors of the Provincial Jade and Jewelry Association, and also a well-known person, how to get there on the first day of the exhibition. What's more, Mr. Xu himself is a person who loves collecting, so he can't miss it.
"Old man Xu, are you also watching here, do you have any gains?" Zhang Weidong greeted politely.
At the same time, he nodded to Old Man Xu's companions.
Old Man Xu didn't answer first, but introduced to a few people next to him: "This is the Xiao Zhang I said, Zhang Weidong, who has a very amazing intuition for Gu Yu, and he also runs an antique shop!"
"This is Lao Tong, Lao Yu, a great expert in jade!"
"This is Tao Junlai, deputy director of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau!"
"This is the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, specializing in jade and wool, **, and he is a jade merchant in the provincial capital!"
"Nice young man!" the two old men looked at Zhang Weidong and praised him.
Obviously, they still believe in Old Man Xu's vision.
"Two old men, Director Tao and Boss Huang, I'm just a newcomer, I'm honored to meet you, it's all Old Man Xu who takes care of and promotes newcomers!" Zhang Weidong said modestly, and shook hands with Director Tao and Boss Huang.
As for the two old men, this handshake is avoided.
The age of the people is there, and shaking hands with him and a young man still seems to be abrupt.
However, Director Tao and Boss Huang are not much away from him. The former was a little reserved, but he still praised Zhang Weidong for a few sentences, and he had the posture of being an official, but it was more for the sake of Old Man Xu's face, so he moved. The latter is much more natural and enthusiastic.
"Brother Zhang, go back and talk more, there are not many young people who can hear Old Man Xu's praise!" ** said with a smile on his face, his hand was not small, and he shook it vigorously a few times.
"Definitely!"
The two groups of people have temporarily converged.
"Xiao Zhang, have you gained anything?" Old Man Xu got down to business.
"Not yet, I stayed in the exhibition hall in the morning, and I only came here in the afternoon, how old are you?" Zhang Weidong shook his head and joked. "There's a lot of good stuff in the exhibition hall, but it's a pity that they don't sell—"
Everyone laughed.
Some of them are privately collected, and there are also many cultural relics bureaus, who dare to sell them if they are not for sale?
If you want to make a gain, you can only come to this piece. What is laid out here, as long as you like it, the price is right, and you can buy and sell it with one hand and one hand to deliver it.
**Hehe smiled and said, "It's not impossible-"
"Oh?" Zhang Weidong was surprised.
"Part of it belongs to the Cultural Relics Bureau, I have to ask Director Tao-"
Director Tao smiled dumbly and said, "Ask me, I didn't fold!"
"That's only the idea of playing a private collection, and the remaining part of the exhibits is to invite some collectors' treasures, but it is not easy to buy it!"
Zhang Weidong nodded and said, "Then forget it, most of them are estimated not to sell, even if someone sells, I can't afford the estimated price!"
This is, of course, a half-joke. It is impossible for Zhang Weidong to really buy the ones in the exhibition hall.
"Weidong, come here!"
At this time, Gao Jie, who was walking with Liu Ding, beckoned to Zhang Weidong, as if she had taken a fancy to something.
Zhang Weidong hesitated, and Old Man Xu said, "Go ahead!"
"Brother Zhang, go back and get in touch, you have time to go around my store!" ** This time, he took out his business card and exchanged phone calls with Zhang Weidong.
"Okay, Brother Huang is free to come to Rong Town!"
The two sides separated, and Zhang Weidong walked over.
Gao Jie looked at a Buddha pendant made of honey wax yellow, the Buddha statue carved is more delicate, a little lifelike, and the carving is still good.
However, for this Buddha pendant, the other party offered 5,008.
"That's too expensive, isn't it?" Gao Jie frowned.
"Little girl, this is a topaz of the highest quality, and the carving is also from the master's hand, only five thousand eight, this price is very fair, if you change to a new jade, the price is even higher, there is no ten thousand that you can't get!" said the boss. "There's nothing to be done here, and my price here is not inflated at all!"
What the boss said, Zhang Weidong somewhat agreed. Ancient jade is highly artistic, seven points of art, three points of material, while new jade is the opposite. But the reality is that the new jade is much more favored than the ancient jade, and the price is much higher, which is a very irrational consumption behavior.
This Buddha pendant is indeed an ancient jade!
However, the price was a little inflated, Zhang Weidong shook his head slightly at Gao Jie, groaned, and said in a low voice: "The price is a bit high, at most three thousand!"
Gao Jie glanced at Zhang Weidong in surprise, didn't see that he really understood something? In fact, Zhang Weidong did put a lot of effort into it before he came, and it involved Topaz, so he dared to speak.
Since the other party asks for the price, then she will cut it, and she can always cut it down, anyway, she likes this Buddha pendant when she looks at it. ...,
Women still have an advantage over men when they bargain.
Gao Jie had a war of words, and if you don't sell it, I will leave, and the other party agreed with a bitter face, and said vigorously: "Open the first business, bear with it, little girl, you are too ruthless, cut me three thousand, yes, I didn't make any money!"
The latter happily put away the Buddha statue and paid the money.
After buying it, Gao Jie said again: "Weidong, you said that this Buddha statue will not be fake, right?"
Zhang Weidong was speechless, and said half-loudly: "It's ancient jade, there will be no mistake!" I still have some experience in distinguishing between ancient jade and new jade, on the stall just now, there are more than a dozen pieces, in fact, there are fakes, there are new jade but the quality is not very good, your one is still good!"
Gao Jie happily put it away.
She bought this gift for her grandmother.
After a while, Zhang Weidong also bought a Buddha pendant worth about 10,000 yuan and gave it to Liu Ding.
I wasn't going to buy it, but to him, these jades didn't mean much. But seeing that the little girl Liu Ding looked at the pendant that Gao Jie bought, she also had some love and couldn't help but buy it.
Women, women, young age, but also charming and invincible, so Zhang Weidong can't help but feel pity.
"Xie Lu, Xie Weidong!" the little girl's excited face turned pink.
Gao Jie looked at Zhang Weidong strangely, pursed her lips, and muttered: "Why didn't I see that he actually liked the old cow to eat tender grass——"
The voice was very small, and it seemed that only he could hear it, but Zhang Weidong was an exception, and he couldn't help but blush, but pretended not to hear it.
"Ahem, keep looking—" Zhang Weidong pretended to be casual and walked forward.
Followed by two women, one big and one small, Gao Jie looked at Liu Ding's Buddha statue with envy, and the two chattered non-stop.
Why didn't any man buy it for her?
The one in the house, hey!
Thinking about the person at home, Gao Jie was very disappointed and didn't want to mention it again.
There are a lot of ancient jade that can be traded, however, some of them are true and some are fake, and most of the ancient jade value is also very average, real boutiques, treasures, then the price is not low.
Zhang Weidong seemed to be strolling leisurely, shuttling with the two women, but he still didn't find anything, and his heart became more and more disappointed.
Could it be that your guess was wrong?
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the exhibition area was about to be cleared, and after the first day of the exhibition, Zhang Weidong basically looked at the stalls in this trading area, but unfortunately, there was still nothing to find.
"Let's go, there's nothing I want!" Zhang Weidong was excited and walked out with the two daughters.
"Weidong, you don't fancy so much jade, what do you want?" Gao Jie was puzzled.
"A very special kind of jade—" Zhang Weidong groaned and said.
"Special?"
The concept is broad enough.
