Chapter 396 If you don’t buy it, you’ll suffer a loss
The east slope and west slope of Gaoligong are completely different.
After coming down from Xuechong Pass, we returned from the snowy winter to the beautiful autumn.
Back at Xingdu Hotel, at around three o'clock, He Huan asked everyone to pack their luggage, and Xingdu took them back to Tanglang Hotel in an off-road vehicle.
"We've had a hard day today. Let's go back and soak in the hot springs, rest for a while, and then set off for dinner at half past six."
"good!"
When we arrived at Tengchong Bazi, it was like spring. Everyone took off their coats and put back on their single clothes. Then they looked up at Gaoligong Mountain. It was hard to imagine that it was snowing on the top of the mountain.
Back at the hotel, He Huan also soaked himself in the hot spring. It was so comfortable!
I took them out for dinner in the evening. When passing by the Emerald City, a tourist said: "Xiao Bailong, didn't you say Jade Chu Tengyue? Let's go in and have a look!"
Everyone agrees.
He Huan looked at it and said, "This is a tourist store, don't go in."
The tourists laughed and said, "We are just tourists!"
But everyone understood and followed He Huan. Master Zhou also looked at him.
He Huan walked on the street in confusion, "I don't know where the jade is good and worth the money. Let's go to the city."
Master Zhou led the way and took them to the city.
"The jade comes from Tengyue and Baoshan mainly produces Nanhong, which is agate. There are two production areas in China, Liangshan and Baoshan. The main product on the market is Liangshan Nanhong."
"Why?"
"Baoshan Nanhong has a very good appearance. It was a red jade sought after by the royal family during the Qing Dynasty. However, it is very fissured, which is caused by frequent geological activities."
King Jiegeng said: "The volcano erupted jade and cracked the jade."
A group of people laugh.
He Huan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, so there are very few on the market. We have to search carefully. If we can find Nanhong that is complete and in good condition, it is worth selling!"
"Okay!" The tourists are already gearing up, hoping that they can encounter the best Nanhong.
When we get to the city, it is a jade distribution center after all, and there are many jade shops.
Although it is not a tourist store, the owner was overjoyed when he saw Xiaobailong bringing so many people in and highly recommended it.
A tourist picked up a Nanhong pendant and couldn't put it down, "This is my Chinese zodiac sign!"
He Huan picked it up and looked at it, "It's full of color and has a good gel texture to the touch. It will become brighter and brighter as you touch it. But there are quite a few cracks on this lion's bottom."
The boss looked at him in surprise, took it to the lamp, and turned on the flashlight specially used to look at jade to look at it for a long time.
He Huan told the tourist a price and asked her to consider it herself. Then she went to help other tourists look at it.
The boss also threw the lion pendant to the tourists to consider for themselves, and then followed the little white dragon.
Listening to his evaluation of various jewelry and jades, he was completely unlike a tour guide. He talked about all the shortcomings. He admired him: "Xiao Bailong, you are so awesome! How did you see it? You really have a sharp eye! There are no treasure appraisal experts.
You are awesome!”
He Huan said with a smile: "Boss, don't brag. The Nanhong you have here is cracked, but at least it is genuine Baoshan Nanhong, and the carving is well concealed. The quality is very good, please give me a reasonable price."
He looked at the tourists again, "These are mainly good-looking and will make you happy when you wear them, and they don't need to be heirlooms to increase in value. If you really like them, just buy them with a normal heart. It's the so-called flawless jade."
The tourists nodded. Ordinary people don’t buy jewelry just to look good. What they really buy as heirlooms can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions.
These thousand pieces don't exceed 10,000 yuan, and we don't expect perfection.
The store owner saw that Xiao Bailong knew the quality and value better than they did, so he also gave a sincere price. With Xiao Bailong helping to look at the goods and help negotiate the price, the tourists were completely at ease. If Xiao Bailong said yes, they would buy it.
Master Zhou looked at Xiao Bailong and was simply amazed!
A good shopping guide, no, a tour guide, what a good tour guide!
I also went to the counter to choose, what a loss if I didn’t buy it! Where can I find a person with such a sharp eye like Xiao Bailong?
If you don't like anything in this store, go to other stores. Jewelry and jade are all on the same street.
We spent the last night in Tengchong. With Xiaobailong, a free appraisal expert, beside us, tourists couldn't stop buying and buying. They felt like they would be suffering a big loss if they didn't buy.
Xiao Bailong's vision shocked the shopkeepers, and after being shocked, they all gave discounts.
You really can’t buy it at this price elsewhere. After visiting three stores, Master Zhou also bought Nanhong bracelets for his daughter and wife. They were beautifully packaged and planned to give them a big surprise when he went back.
Holding the exquisite shopping bag, I feel like I have found a treasure and I am very happy.
The drivers all bought it, let alone the tourists.
After buying Nanhong, the tourists also wanted to buy jadeite. It was like sweeping up a street. He Huan finally understood what sweeping goods means!
I also understand their strength! They bought thousands of pieces of jewelry without blinking an eye.
He Huan sighed, "Calm down. To be honest, these are cheaper than the market price, at least cheaper than what you can buy elsewhere, and they are also authentic and high quality!"
"Yes! That's why we want to buy it!"
"But don't make impulse purchases." He Huan said, "It's like you are celebrating Double Eleven!"
"Ah! It's Double Twelve!" The tourists quickly took out their mobile phones.
After searching the online store, they are really cheap and good.
The key is that the quality of online stores cannot be guaranteed.
Everyone was very happy.
He Huan found that his persuasion was useless, so he had to say: "Yunzhou has a thirty-day return policy, but that is in a tourist store. In these ordinary stores, there are no quality problems. You can't say that I came here because I was impulsive.
Retreat."
Everyone nodded, "We won't return it! Why should we return it? Such beautiful and cheap ruby!"
"Ahhh! I am so fond of you! I will never give up!"
He Huan was helpless. Once he bought the jade, it wouldn't be worth a thousand pieces. It would be worth ten thousand or more. They have money, but they can't be so impulsive.
All I could do was say: "Tengchong used to be a jade distribution center. But now it has been transferred to Ruili. I will go to Ruili tomorrow to experience it and buy jade just like grocery shopping."
"Okay!" the tourists finally calmed down.
Before visiting Ruili, I walked around, saw a coffee shop, and bought arabica coffee.
The shopkeepers were impressed by the quality, taste, and He Huan. Make friends and ask Xiao Bailong to bring more tourists here in the future, and they will get discounts.
The little white dragon group returned with a full load.
Master Zhou followed them happily. Who wouldn't like a tour guide like Xiao Bailong? But he didn't buy it himself.
Nanhong is beautiful, but it’s really hard to find the best Nanhong without cracks and good condition on the market! I’m afraid he can’t afford such a price.
When it comes to giving a confession gift and a New Year gift to Miss Long, it is necessary to choose one that is good enough. He Huan also hopes that Ruili will not disappoint him.
The next morning, the Little White Dragon Group arrived in Ruili. The stalls here usually open in the afternoon and are only lively in the evening.
He Huan first took tourists to play along the Ruili River.
"Ruili River originates from Gaoligong. It is called Nanmao in Dai language, which means Wushui River. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it was called Luchuan River, which was transliterated into Longchuan River."
"Ah! Is it the river in Tengchong?"
"Yes! That's upstream."
Everyone looked at the Ruili River, but they didn't expect to find themselves at the same river again.
"The Ruili River passes through Wanding, Ruili flows into Myanmar, and flows into the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. The Irrawaddy River is called Dulong River in our country."
"ah!"
"So, my country's Yunzhou and Myanmar are connected by mountains and rivers. The Ruili River is also the boundary river between China and Myanmar."
Everyone looked to the opposite side, and there was Myanmar on the opposite side! I really didn’t feel anything if I didn’t say it.
"Baoshan is the center of the Ailao Kingdom. The adjacent Ruili also gave birth to a kingdom. It caused headaches for the Yuan and Ming dynasties."
"Ah! I thought everything would be fine after the Ming Dynasty conquered Yunzhou."
He Huanxiao said, "During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Ruili was a territory of the Ailao Kingdom, called Mengmao. Baoshan was called Mengzhang. Later, after the Ailao Kingdom was conquered by the Han Dynasty, some Ailao descendants moved to Nujiang, and some moved to Dehong and Pu'er.
, Banna.
With the Nu River as the center, another Shan State was established, and Ruili belonged to the Shan State.
But the Shan country is not as powerful as the Ailao country. The Dai people who once established the Ailao country are not very convinced of them, and they don't like to live in the mountains. The Dai people like to live in flat dams and near the water.
The Ruili River has dams and water, so various Dai tribes decided to re-establish a country here."
Everyone laughed and said, "It feels like it is so easy to build a country!"
He Huan said with a smile: "For the Dai people, villages are Meng, towns are Meng, and the country is still Meng. You are all Meng Chinese, and Little Bailong brought Mengmao from Meng!"
A group of people laughed, "Please stop talking, I'm as confused as in a dream!"
"In the legend of the Dai people, Genlun and Genlan, the sons of the gods, descended to earth in 568 AD, occupied Mubang, the Ruili River and the Irrawaddy River Valley, established the Mengmao Kingdom, and enfeoffed their descendants to various parts of the Ruili River Plain to become chiefs.
According to legend, "Hundred" means "Longtan Young Master" in Dai language. He is the grandson of the Dragon King. With the help of the Dragon Clan, he passed all the tests and finally married Princess Nanzhao and became the ruler of the Dai people."
"The dragon appears again!"
"Yes!" He Huan said, "So the Yi people are different from the Dai people. The Yi people worship tigers, and the Dai people worship dragons because they like water. Being related to dragons can prove their orthodoxy.
It can also reflect their relationship with the Nanzhao Kingdom. Maybe Mr. Longtan did marry a Nanzhao princess and became the son-in-law of the Nanzhao tribe.
In short, the Ailao Kingdom did derive many kingdoms, but they disappeared, but not completely. The Central Plains' rule over Yunzhou was sometimes tight and loose, so many kingdoms also developed.
With Ruili as the center, the famous Kingdom of Qianguo Zhanbi and Kingdom of Qianguo Zhanbi were established. But what really became powerful was in 1340, when Sikefa established the Luchuan Kingdom with Ruili as the capital, proclaimed himself king, and started a war.
Golden Dragon Flag.”
Everyone looks at the little white dragon’s flag and asks, “Why not fly the white dragon flag?”
He Huan endured it for a long time before he could hold it back and continued: "For the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty, Luchuan has always been regarded as part of the Southwest Yi. During the Han Dynasty, Yongchang County was established, but the actual control was limited.
There were many kingdoms in the history of Yunzhou, and there are not many records in the Central Plains history books. But the Kingdom of Sikefa and Luchuan was very famous in the history of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties! In the history books of the Central Plains, his name is Death Kefa."
He Huan picked up a branch from the soil by the river and wrote it to them.
