Chapter 028 If you want to make money, make big money!
"Hey, brother, what a stone! Your bet is up!"
As soon as he saw the jade stone, Uncle Long couldn't help but admire it loudly.
"Yes!" Someone next to him agreed, "The exposed jade has a slight glass luster, but the opening is too small, so it is difficult to grasp."
Lin Haitao said with a smile: "It's not easy to open such a good door. It's a good start. The first step of betting on stones is very critical. With a good start, everything that follows will be
It's easy to say, otherwise there is no hope. Brother He, I am very optimistic about the prospects of this jade stone! Uncle Long, how much do you estimate this stone is worth?"
Uncle Long glanced at Lin Haitao thoughtfully, but did not immediately ask him a question. Instead, he turned his head and looked at He Qing, who was standing calmly aside, and asked: "Brother He, what's the matter?"
, do you want to transfer this stone?"
"Well, yes, I have this idea, but I haven't decided yet. I have to set the price first." He Qing nodded solemnly and replied.
Lin Haitao said that the stone was worth more than one million, so He Qing had to make good use of such a valuable thing. He didn't collect jade himself, so it was certain to change hands, but he had to think about it in advance and not lose money.
Uncle Long nodded subconsciously and said: "That's easy to say. There is a market for such a good stone, and there are many people who want to buy it. If it just changes hands, it's not easy to estimate, but no matter what, the foundation of the stone is
The prices there won’t be that low.”
Lin Haitao suddenly spoke: "Uncle Long, I made an estimate and thought Brother He's stone cost more than one million..."
"Brother, it just so happens that I also like gambling on stones. Why don't you give me this stone? I will give you one million according to Haitao's valuation. What do you think?"
Before Lin Haitao finished speaking, at this moment, someone said to He Qing with great joy.
He was a very well-dressed middle-aged man. Hearing his "cadenced" Cantonese accent, one could tell at a glance that he was a big businessman from the Guangdong area.
Someone offers a million!
He Qing told himself that he heard correctly, and Lin Haitao's valuation did not seem to be exaggerated at all.
At that moment, He Qing couldn't help but feel excited secretly.
A stone that happened to be picked up on the ground turned into a gem, which is now worth more than one million. Is there anything crazier than this?
"Oh, boss, I'm sorry, I can't promise you anything right away. Please allow me to think about it carefully first."
Being a little over-excited, He Qing was dazed for a while. When he came to his senses, he quickly and politely responded to the middle-aged man's request.
"Of course, then you should think about it carefully." The boss nodded.
Lin Haitao smiled and said: "Boss Jin, you Guangdong people have a lot of stone gambling bosses, right? When I went to Yunkun last time, I stopped by the 'Stone City' Tengchong and met a lot of jade gambling bosses from your side.
A businessman."
"Isn't it? There are indeed many people who are keen on this business." Boss Jin nodded, "otherwise the largest jade trading market in the mainland would not have been moved from the Yunkun border area to Pingzhou. This little brother,
You should also like to bet on stones, right? You must have very good eyesight, you can bet on such a good stone. But it's a bit strange, the skin of your stone is weird, it looks very old, and you can't see the surface.
The original colors and other expressions are gone.”
"This is not an ordinary jadeite material." Lin Haitao replied for He Qing, "Boss Jin, you should have noticed that this is an old jadeite. The stone has been collected for many years, so it is extremely precious!"
"No wonder, no wonder." Boss Jin responded hurriedly.
He Qing finally calmed down his extremely excited mood and said: "I bought the stone from a jade seller's house, but I didn't think about gambling at first, so I bought it casually and prepared to carve it. To be honest, I didn't want to gamble.
You said, I rarely gamble on stones and have little experience."
"Haha, then this is just a mistake! Good luck!" Boss Jin praised with a smile.
"Brother He, how much do you want to sell it for? How about you give me a price?" Then Boss Jin said, and he could naturally see that the price of one million obviously did not satisfy the other party, so both parties had to calm down.
Let’s have a serious discussion about the price.
"I haven't thought about it yet." He Qing said truthfully, but one million can no longer satisfy his appetite. If something is priced at one million, how can it make people feel at ease if it is sold for only one million? This is not the case.
When selling pork, the price per kilogram is the standard market price, regardless of whether it is the same price.
"That's okay, let's wait until you think about it. This is my business card, you can contact me at any time." Boss Jin took out an exquisite business card and handed it to He Qing enthusiastically.
He Qing also stretched out his hands to take it, and then subconsciously glanced at the business card, only to see that it read "Jin Shengwen, Business Department Manager of Hong Kong Art Auction Company".
"It turns out he's from an auction company, and he's a big shot!" He Qing sighed secretly.
Although it had only been less than a few days since he accidentally entered the antique business, He Qing deeply realized that if he wanted to get ahead in this business, he had to make a few more friends, otherwise there would be no place for searching for treasures or asking for advice.
Jin Shengwen is from Hong Kong and works in an auction company. If we can make friends with him, we will undoubtedly open up a new road ahead.
"Brother He, do you plan to discuss this business with Boss Jin?"
Later, Uncle Long and Jin Shengwen had finished looking at the stone, and He Qing and Lin Haitao returned to the place where they were discussing in secret.
"Boss Jin is very sincere, I will consider it." He Qing said, "Brother Lin, how much do you think is appropriate to add to one million?"
Lin Haitao thought for a while and said: "It's up to you. One of you is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy. As the saying goes, 'Gold is valuable, jade is priceless'. Sometimes jade cannot be measured by price."
Yes, high-end jadeite is really rare nowadays. For example, top-grade jadeite that reaches the imperial green level, no matter how high you bid, you may not be able to buy it. This is called "price without market"! I think one million is more.
That's pretty much it. After all, your stone is still very dangling and it's hard to get it right. Now you have two options before you. One is to continue cutting, but this involves taking a huge risk in case it collapses.
, you may lose all your money, but once it rises, you will only make more money. The second option is to transfer the stone to Boss Jin and the others as a "half gambling stone", so that you can make a sure profit and transfer the risk to them.
.Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn’t dare to gamble anymore. I had a psychological shadow when I lost before, but now I feel very guilty when I see jade!”
"Well, let me think about it carefully." He Qing pondered for a moment and said.
Lin Haitao said: "Brother, there is a saying in the stone gambling industry: 'take it when it's good'. Earning one million is already a lot. You have to think about it."
"But who doesn't want to make more money?" He Qing asked with a wry smile.
"Yes, I want to do both!" Lin Haitao replied, "But you are lucky, maybe it will rise again if you continue to cut. You said that you have never bet on jade before and have no experience. In fact, when it comes to betting on stones, there are sometimes experience skills and so on.
It's all just a piece of paper. The key is financial resources and transportation. Your stone is very old, and the surface has been worn away. It's impossible to judge the quality of the jade inside from the performance of the leather shell. So you can only rely on luck to gamble.
."
"Brother Lin, thank you for your advice, I have learned a lot." He Qing said solemnly.
"You're welcome. In fact, I can't help you with anything. Whether you want to gamble or not, I can't give you any advice at all." Lin Haitao waved his hand.
He Qing said: "You have already helped me a lot. Okay, then I will go back and think about it carefully, and then talk to Boss Jin."
After saying this, he said goodbye to Lin Haitao and the others, and left the "Jianbao Studio" with the stone.
Then he went straight back to the rental house. As soon as he returned to the rental house, he carefully took out the stone, placed it on the coffee table, looked at it carefully, and fell into deep thought.
The faint red light lingering on the stone was still there. He Qing stared at it for a moment, and then scenes of images flashed before his eyes, which were naturally about the ins and outs of that stone.
By watching the video record for the second time, He Qing knew that the original owner of the jade stone was particularly fond of it. Perhaps he was reluctant to let it go, which was why he had not untied the stone for so long.
"If I can make two million or three million, then why should I sell it for one million?!"
In an instant, He Qing seemed to have become that jade collector from the Qing Dynasty, and he had an inexplicable feeling for that stone.
Suddenly, He Qing's ambition grew. He picked up the carving knife next to him and carefully carved on the stone. The sharp blade made it easy to cut off a small piece of stone.
He wants to keep cutting!
Because he thinks that if he wants to make money, make big money!
Anyway, it was a cheap stone. Even if it collapsed as Lin Haitao feared, there would be no compensation at all.
