Chapter 132: See Boss Yu Again
Shi Lei doesn't think it's expensive. Now things worth thousands of dollars are no longer very popular with him.
He looked at the counter and found that there was a kind of green stone with a star and moon that looked better, so he asked, "What is that?"
The owner was secretly happy. It seemed that when he met a guy who knew nothing, he would definitely make a lot of money if he completed the business.
So he introduced it more attentively: "That is called turquoise, and the one that has the most collection value in recent years is it. In fact, this is a crystal stone. Because it contains relatively high iron and copper, it will appear green and blue. The black one above is called iron wire. Generally speaking, the less iron wire, the purer the color, the more precious it is."
Shi Lei nodded and said, "The smoother the surface and the more delicate the texture, the better the quality, right?"
The owner smiled and nodded vigorously, thinking that the young man had already put on the trap, and continued to introduce: "It's right, it seems that you still understand a little. Look at me, it's almost a bit like jelly, which seems to be transparent but not transparent. This is called high porcelain in our industry, which means that it already has the glaze feeling on the surface of the porcelain..."
Shi Lei nodded in a vague way and said, "How much does this Xingyue cost with Green Song?"
The owner considered it and said, "I am a high-quality high-ceramic blue pine. This blue color is particularly rare. The iron wire is also very small. This quality usually costs several hundred yuan per gram, which is more expensive than gold. But seeing that you are destined to be with me and I, let's do it like this. Even Xingyue, you give me 12,000 yuan. Even if we make friends, I will just bring me some business in the future."
Shi Lei just doesn't understand, but it doesn't mean he is stupid, 12,000. The store owner said that Xingyue Suzhu was only 800 yuan, so he must still not know how much the premium was inflated. Shi Lei estimated that the market price of this series of Xingyue was only 200 to 300 yuan.
As for this turquoise, he didn't understand at all. What's more expensive than gold, and it's a set of nouns. Shi Lei intuitively believed that the trick was all about it.
"You're too expensive..." Shi Lei retreated and turned around and was about to leave.
The owner was anxious when he saw this, thinking that such a good fat sheep should not be missed. He hurriedly said, "Don't hurry to leave. You tell me a price, can we negotiate and measure?"
Shi Lei didn't look back and said directly: "Don't worry, I'll go to another house to have a look."
"Don't leave, six thousand...three thousand...one thousand...one thousand, it's not enough if you take it away, it won't work!"
Shi Lei still didn't look back, thinking that you'll drop from 12,000 to 1,000 in this time. Stars and moons are worthless anyway, and that green pine may be something. If you can't make a fuss, you can't make a fortune of ten yuan, but the long list will only be less than four hundred.
But, the stars and moon are not worth it, why do these words sound so strange?
While walking around, Shi Lei also took out his mobile phone and checked the turquoise online. Then he found that the trick inside the thing was too big. Good turquoise is indeed as the shop owner said, such as high porcelain blue, no iron wire, hundreds of yuan per gram or even four-digit one gram, which is really much more expensive than gold. However, most of the turquoise and stones on the market are real, but they are all treated with special means, and Shi Lei can't figure it out. In short, turquoise, even under the strong light flashlight, cannot be seen whether it has been touched or not. It is necessary to check it. Basically, you can only use a microscope to observe whether there are traces of adhesive glue film and so on.
Not to mention Shi Lei who knows nothing, even an expert, he basically doesn’t dare to take action randomly when encountering turquoise.
And those turquoises that have been processed through various means, especially those glued with crushed powder or small pieces of turquoise, are really like Shi Lei imagined, and the higher they are only thirty-fifty-seven or eighty-one, which is not worth much.
You say he is fake, it is true or not, but it is true, and that is definitely not natural turquoise.
Shi Lei knew it. With the speed of the boss' price reduction and the quality of the turquoise, it was definitely a second-generation product produced in mass, just a few dozen yuan per item. Otherwise, the natural turquoise with a quality of at least 20 grams of Buddha's head and top beads would definitely not be able to get it down 12,000, let alone a thousand.
After walking around for a while, Shi Lei's heart moved slightly and returned to the store.
"Little brother, how about it? Can't you see something as good as me in other stores?" The owner thought Fat Sheep was back.
Shi Lei pointed to the Xingyue, who was matched with the green pine and said, "Don't make a cough with me. If this green pine was not the second generation, I would have eaten it raw. In this way, I will take it for 300 yuan."
The owner looked sad and said, "Oh, little brother, you are making me lose money. Three hundred definitely won't work. These stars and moons are more than this price..."
"Take it down. If you polish it for more than 100 yuan per pound, you can make it up to about a hundred yuan per pound. If you make a big profit of three hundred, you will sell it. If you don't sell it, you will lose it down..."
The owner knew that he could not deceive Shi Lei, so he had to say, "I won't say much, just five hundred, it's OK, it's OK, it's not OK."
Shi Lei turned around and left, and the owner shouted again: "Four hundred, it really can't be lowered any more."
Shi Lei's foot, which had already stepped out of the threshold, shrank back again, 400 yuan, which is his psychological price in itself.
In fact, if Scepter didn't care about how much the things he bought were worth with Shi Lei, he wished he could buy this string for 100,000 yuan, 80,000 yuan, or leave 20,000 yuan for dinner and treating guests. But it's not possible. He must be as close to the actual value of the item as possible, so he could only spend 400 yuan stingy.
The shop owner pretended to be dejected and said, "Oh, even if I brought it to you, I really didn't make any money. If you ask around, you can't find such a cheap thing anywhere in the entire antique street. Let's make a relationship..." After chattering, Shi Lei was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he took Xingyue Bodhi around his hand and left.
Actually, when he was about to leave, he found that the Yu family agarwood restaurant had opened, and Shi Lei walked in.
The boss Yu Banzhi was sitting behind the tea table, still playing with his beads in his hand. Shi Lei now knew that this was called handheld, divided into eighteen, twenty-seven, thirty-six and fifty-four. The string in Yu Banzhi's hand should be twenty-seven.
The tea sets on the tea table were neatly arranged, and a gurgling sound was made in the kettle, probably because the water was about to boil.
Hearing the footsteps, Yu Banzhi looked up and smiled: "It's you again, little brother, we are really destined to be together. I have something to do today. I just came over and the door opened, and you were the first to come in."
Shi Lei also smiled and sat opposite Yu Banzhi and said, "It's not that destined to be. I've been here a long time ago. Seeing that you didn't open the door, I went to other shops and was about to leave, but I found that your door was open, so I came in and said hello to you."
Yu Banzhi said generously: "Then he is still destined to do it."
Shi Lei didn't say much, Yu Banzhi made tea and brought Shi Lei a cup.
"Have you bought a string?" Yu Banzhi saw the stars and moons in Shi Lei's hand.
Shi Lei took it down, handed it over, and said, "You give me a palm." Shi Lei now knows some terms in antiques, so people can help you see the good or bad, called palm.
Yu Banzhi glanced at Shi Lei with a little surprise, but he was owed the Xingyue at all, and said, "Have you learned a lot of antiques during this period?"
Shi Lei smiled and said, "I can't talk about knowledge, I just read some relevant information."
"Put it away, why are you showing off by street stalls?" This is Yu Banzhi's evaluation of the stars and moons in Shi Lei's hands.
