Chapter 33: Affair (2)

In the storefront of Chow Tai Fook Gold Store, there are counters on three sides, gold jewelry on the left, platinum and pearls in the middle, and jade jewelry on the right, but the quantity is much lower than gold and silver jewelry.

The store is very large, with more than a dozen beautiful female clerks standing at three counters. The female clerk who greeted Zhang Can was round and her head looked like a flight attendant, but the clothes in this store looked like a waiter in a restaurant no matter how you look at it.

"Sir, what type of style do you like?"

It seems that he is very experienced in sales every day and speaks fluently. While speaking, he spreads his right hand to guide Zhang Can to look at the platinum and jade counters.

Zhang Can smiled. As long as the female clerks in these gold shops arrive, the first thing they do is to lead the customers to the platinum jewelry and jade jewelry counters first. The one they don’t want to introduce to customers is gold and silver jewelry.

Most people don’t know this, but Zhang Can understands it very well, because the selling price of gold and silver jewelry is only one layer of manual fees than the actual price, and gold and silver are circulating currency, and its price is the closest to the international market. For example, a gram of gold is worth 360 yuan. After making gold jewelry, the general situation will not be higher than 45. The difference between the price is very obvious. The gold jewelry in the gold shop usually indicates the price of one gram, such as 42, or 43. Then the total price will be calculated based on this price.

The commission for the cash of the gold jewelry sold by female clerks is relatively low, usually only one percent, and the commission for the gold jewelry store that costs 1,000 yuan per piece is only ten yuan.

The price of platinum is inflated. The principal is 500, and the selling price will be 1,000, and the profit will be at least half. The sales commission of the clerk will be between 15 and 30%. Moreover, the selling price of platinum is higher than that of gold, and the price of any piece of jewelry will be 3,000, not like gold, there are two or three hundred yuan. The platinum sales commission ratio of the clerk is higher than that of gold. A necklace will be more than 100, and three or five pieces a day will be sold, and the commission will be several hundred. In addition, the basic salary is more than 10,000 yuan per month. Therefore, whenever a customer watches, the first recommendation of the clerks is platinum and jade, especially jade.

When it comes to platinum profits, it is only one or two times, and two or three times higher. But jade is different. The premium of jade is unlimited. Among the jades in the gold shop, the most common and most common are jewelry made of Burmese jadeite.

For ordinary people, this jade is actually a very distant and unfamiliar thing. Most people in China have the impression of it on TV or at the counters of gold shops. They are very unfamiliar with it, and they don’t understand the identification of it, because they have a lot of frauds in pursuit of interests, and ordinary people can’t do anything about it.

If the value of an ordinary and lower-level jade is only about one hundred yuan, after processing, it may be priced at 10,000 or even 100,000 yuan. Of course, there are also relatively inflated jadeites that are more popular by gold shop owners. The type of jadeite that is only worth between 3,500 and 20,000 and 30,000 yuan. After careful processing, the selling price will generally be more than 100,000 yuan. Sometimes the selling price will be raised to millions, and the profit will be at least 5,600 times or even dozens of times. The commission of the sales clerk is even higher. Selling a jadeite worth hundreds of thousands can be at least tens of thousands of yuan. Even a bracelet worth only 1,000 yuan, the commission is more than 100 yuan, which is the highest among all jewelry in the store, because the capital and selling price are huge.

He was in this industry, so Zhang Can didn't plan to buy jade pieces. The front of him saw a green jade pendant, which was extremely beautiful in color, and the price was 37,000 yuan, but Zhang Can saw it clearly for only one second after a black and white eyes. This jade pendant was just carved from a pretty good-quality, oil-green jadeite. After chemical color, it has good color and transparency. It is priced at 37,000 yuan, but the actual price will never exceed 1,000 yuan.

Zhang Can didn’t know much about platinum, so he didn’t plan to buy platinum jewelry. Platinum necklace bracelets were better, especially platinum diamond rings. The price of diamonds is also very tricky, so he can only buy gold to maintain value and suffer a smaller loss.

Zhang Can understood so much, so after thinking about it, he felt that he didn't want to buy anything. The female clerk introduced her a lot, but Zhang Can almost didn't listen to it, so she raised her head and said "Oh".

From this expression, the female clerk was very disappointed. The clerks in the gold shop would go through training to identify which customers who passed by would buy, which one had less chance of buying, and which one had money would buy more.

Regarding Zhang Can, this female store is actually a mistake. Zhang Can is not buying it or not affording money. If something passes through his black and white eyes, he will calculate the gains and losses, and whether it is worth buying it.

After looking at it, Zhang Canwang didn't even look at the platinum counter or jade counter. He pointed at the counter of gold jewelry and said, "Then... I want that!"

Zhang Can pointed to a carved gold bracelet. Judging from the weight, it was at least between 15 and 200 grams. The most important thing is that the bracelet is 24k gold, which is the most purity type. It has a gold content of 99.6%, and the selling price is 411 and 1 grams, which is closer to the actual price. The sales clerk's commission is the lowest, but the weight is large and it costs dozens of dollars.

For other gold jewelry, the commission is slightly higher. Because of the quality, other gold jewelry has twelve k, eighteen k, twenty-two k, etc., which most people cannot tell and do not understand. There are many ways in gold.

When introducing you, the clerk of the gold shop will take turns to avoid some sensitive places. For example, Zhang Can just pointed at the gold bracelet, and the female clerk immediately took him to the counter and pointed at another bracelet and said, "Sir, do you want to buy a gold bracelet? Actually, I will introduce you to another better one. This style is the latest. You see, it is full gold, the weight is similar to that one, and the price is the same. But when we are doing activities in the store, this new model will give you a statue of Guanyin Buddha in the old Burma jade, worth a thousand yuan!"

As the female clerk said, she turned around and took a piece of jade Guanyin statue from the box under the counter and pointed it at Zhang Can: "Sir, look, if you buy a gold bracelet of the same weight, the price and value are the same, but you can give a jade Guanyin statue to the new model. Take this gift back to your girlfriend or mother. They are all good gifts, right?"

Zhang Can smiled and said, the female clerk was really good at speaking. Not to mention that the new bracelet contains only 18k gold, which cannot be called "full gold". The gold that can be called "full gold" must have a content of more than 95%. In other words, the minimum of 22k gold can be called "full gold" and a "thousand-full gold". The sales clerk would say it is pure gold. In fact, the highest purity of gold is only 99.6%.

Although the weight of this eighteen k gold bracelet is the same as that of the full gold bracelet, its actual value is one-third less, and the commission of the sales clerk will be higher.

The female clerk is just playing with a discourse mechanism. When selling you to issue an invoice, it will also be written clearly for you. It is eighteen k gold, not twenty-two, or twenty-four k gold, so you can't help finding fault when you come back. If the invoice is written with twenty-four k gold, but the one sold to you is eighteen k gold, that is evidence. But the gold shop is playing with such a trap, how can you not understand?

Zhang Can smiled faintly and said, "Miss, how much is the gold you mentioned? How much is this?"

The female clerk was stunned. Zhang Can asked her heart trembled. When someone asked clearly, her answer would be very critical. If the customer took it back and said something different from what she said, it would be her trouble.

Zhang Can said lightly again: "Miss, if you don't say it, then I'll tell you, the one I chose is 24k gold, with a gold content of more than 95%, which can be called full gold, but it's not a thousand gold. The one you introduced me has a gold content of only about 80%, which is far from that. It's not even the full gold you mentioned. Look at its light yellow color, and the one I chose is much darker, red and yellow. The higher the purity of the gold, the lower the hardness, the higher the gold, the hardness, the higher the gold, the less it is, the hardness, the less traces you can make, Miss, do you want to try it?"

The female clerk suddenly changed color. She didn't expect that the young man was an expert and knew better than hers!

Zhang Can said again: "I know the trick you are playing. Take out the bracelet and see. I guarantee that the marks of these two models have the seal numbers of 'full gold' or 'eighteen k gold'. You say it's 'full gold' to play with the words. After I buy it, I can't find any trouble for you because it has been marked 'eighteen k gold' on it. I bet the invoice you issued for me will also clearly state that it is 'eighteen k gold', and I will not write 'eighteen k gold'!"

The female clerk's face turned red and blue, it didn't matter if she couldn't sell it. She scolded an expert customer so clearly, and she had nothing to say, there was a good reputation!

Zhang Can has been dealing with dealers in the antique and fritters market for a long time, and he is interested in his own eyes. In addition, he now has the ability to see through black and white eyes, so he can't hide these things that can be distinguished with the naked eye.

"Miss, anyone who does business needs to make money and trade freely, but they cannot deceive the dark room, so your approach is wrong. I don't want to say more here. Just understand it in your heart. Well, that's it. You issue an invoice for me, I want that bracelet with enough gold!"

The female clerk blushed and issued an invoice for Zhang Can, feeling ashamed and even felt a little ashamed.

The invoice was issued, and the price was 78,800 yuan. Zhang Can took out his bank card and signed the bill directly. After the female clerk wrapped the box and put it in a small colorful and beautiful plastic bag, he respectfully handed it to Zhang Can, lowered his head and whispered: "Sir, please pack it!"

Zhang Can smiled and didn't say much. He would forgive others if he had to. He had no grudges and resentment with the female clerk. He was not fooled anyway. He would leave after buying things. However, as soon as he took a step with the bag, a crisp woman said in a clear voice: "Sir, wait a moment..."

Zhang Can thought it was a female clerk and what was he calling him? When he turned around, he couldn't help but be stunned. The person who called him was not a female clerk from the Jin shop, but a customer outside the counter, with a short skirt, tassel shirt, long hair, and a very beautiful appearance. He was a young girl with excellent temperament.

"You...you call me?" Zhang Can asked in confusion, not sure.

The beautiful girl nodded and said, "Yes, it's me. I want to discuss it with you, okay?"

Seeing that the girl had the intention of asking for something, Zhang Can certainly would not respond rudely to such a beautiful girl. He didn't know anything about asking for it, and it didn't matter what he could do.
