He went to Shanghai because there is a special Hetian Jade Trading Center in Shanghai, which is very centralized. This saves him from the pain of long journeys. Han Bing just confused Luo Tian a little with the language. He often went to Shanghai and the trading center before.
It’s familiar, and the merchants inside are even more familiar.
Both of them were action people, so they left as soon as possible. After making some arrangements for the store, they bought a flight to Shanghai that day. Shanghai was not far away, and they arrived in more than an hour. This was Luo Tian's first time here.
In Shanghai, I feel there is no big difference. Thanks to the current urbanization construction, every city seems to be full of high-rise buildings, and there is no difference.
The two of them went directly to the trading center without staying in any hotel. Luo Tian was really eye-opening here. The area was more than 4,000 square meters, with a total of four floors, all of which were shops selling Hetian jade. According to Han Bing, it was not far away.
There are also warehouses for these shops, which are also concentrated together. This is just a place to receive customers and display samples.
Han Bing often cooperates with a Hetian jade merchant whose surname is Zeng. He claims to be a descendant of Zeng Guofan. Anyway, no one has tried to find out whether it is true or false, so we just listen to what he said. Han Bing came here without making an appointment this time. Boss Zeng was sitting in front of the computer typing.
He was playing games. Today's business was a bit slow. He was busy with his work. Han Bing appeared in front of him, which really shocked him. He quickly closed the game interface. Luo Tian glanced at it and saw that there were several big breasts on the web page.
Female, it must be... But this is not important, just skip it.
Boss Zeng's expression was a little unnatural, and he had a guilty conscience: "Isn't this Boss Han? Why didn't you say hello in advance when you came this time, so that I could pick up your driver at the airport?"
This boss Zeng is very good at being a good person. As long as he calls and tells the flight time before coming over, he will definitely drive to the airport to pick him up. Han Bing is his old customer, not because he is good at being a good person, but because he is a good person.
Boss Zeng really had a lot of good stuff at his disposal, and he was very efficient in doing things, so we formed a good cooperative relationship.
"It's not necessary this time. Let me introduce you. This is my friend, Luo Tian. I'm here specifically to take care of your business." Han Bing paused and said, "But you have to have the goods."
"Okay, that's easy to say. Don't you know what the goods I have are like?" Boss Zeng warmly greeted the two of them to sit down and asked the younger sister to pour tea: "I wonder what this boss Luo wants?"
"Hetian seeds." Luo Tian said succinctly.
Boss Zeng's expression changed, which gave Luo Tian a bad feeling. Sure enough, Boss Zeng said with some embarrassment: "Boss, you may not know about some situations."
Han Bing said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. We are old acquaintances. Don't be secretive."
"Hotian City has imposed a ban on the mining of Hotan jade. In addition, Hotan seed materials are already scarce. Now the market is bullish. The price of seed materials has skyrocketed by this amount compared with before." Boss Zeng held out three fingers.
Come on.
"Three times?" Han Bing asked with a frown. He had heard rumors about it, but he didn't expect that it would triple in just a few days.
"That's right." Boss Zeng said sincerely: "You are my old customer. I have to explain this situation in advance. Let's talk ugly first, so that we can do things later, right?"
What a shrewd businessman. In this way, he can charge high prices without offending old customers. Luo Tian secretly thought that this boss Zeng and the boss Yuan of the whole special auction belong to the same type of people. Not doing business is simply a dereliction of talent.
"There's no problem with that," Luo Tian said with a smile, "Do I look like someone who can't afford the price?"
"Of course not. The customers brought here by Boss Han are definitely not ordinary people, right?" Boss Zeng patted his legs and stood up: "In that case, I will take you two to my warehouse to have a look.
,OK?"
"No problem." Luo Tian and Han Bing stood up at the same time with a tacit understanding.
The warehouse is only more than 300 meters away from the trading center. Boss Zeng took the two of them down the freight elevator on the side and walked forward until they arrived at the location of the warehouse. Infrared surveillance is installed here, and the anti-theft awareness is very strict. Luo Tian
After looking around, I saw that there were security guards on the first floor who kept an eye on the goods coming and going and checked their IDs. If they were not acquaintances, outsiders would not be able to enter the warehouse. The security guards were very familiar with Boss Zeng, and the two even said hello with a smile.
.
"Security guards can't underestimate them. Sometimes they can play a key role." Boss Zeng is an authentic Shanghainese, and his speech always has the flavor of a Shanghai man: "If you have a better relationship with them, they can also help you.
If I pay more attention, wouldn't my goods be safer?"
It makes sense. Luo Tian learned another trick. The powerful are important, but small people can also play their role. While talking, the elevator came down, and several businessmen from other places walked out. They were discussing something intensely. The three of them walked in
In the elevator, Boss Zeng said again: "Look, laymen, those who are new to the Hetian jade business, you will know just by listening to what they say."
This Boss Zeng is a powerful person. You have to be careful not to fall into his trap accidentally. When the elevator went up to the fourth floor, Boss Zeng took out the key from his pocket and opened one of the doors: "You two
Come in and take a look, there are only so many seeds in here, there is nothing we can do, the supply is very tight now."
The value of Hotan jade seed material is very high, and there are naturally many counterfeit products. In addition to such a sensitive period, we only have more fake taro to make up the number. The material has five basic colors: white, green, green, yellow, ink, etc.
.There are only two jade materials, white jade and sapphire, on the mountain at the source of the Yulong Kashgar River. Luo Tian and Han Bing's main goal this time is white jade, preferably mutton fat jade, which will test their eyesight.
This seed material is divided into mountain material and running water seed material. Generally, the jade material in the Gobi Desert is called mountain material. The jade material washed from the source of Jade Dragon by running water is naturally the running water seed material. Comparing the two, the seed material
After being washed away by water, the outer layer of rough skin will be worn away, so that the appearance will be more delicate and moist, and the market value will be higher than that of mountain materials. Now the first thing Luo Tian and Han Bing have to do is to combine mountain materials with
Seed material is distinguished by running water.
Boss Zeng pointed to the large pile of jade materials and said: "You two, please feel free to pick whatever you want. We will negotiate the price after you have selected it."
Han Bing glanced at Luo Tian: "Choose together or act separately?"
"Simple, pick out the ones with delicate and warm appearance first, and then filter them." Luo Tian said, this is also the general logic, Han Bing naturally had no objection: "Okay, let's start now."
