The whole morning passed quickly among those "stone gambling masters" selecting wool. Zhuang Rui seemed to be wandering around, but he looked at all the materials for selection in the entire club. It doesn't matter if you don't look at them.
After that, Zhuang Rui felt even more dumbfounded.
Let's not talk about anything else. Most of these materials are semi-finished rough stones that have been opened or polished, and their performance is pretty good, but that's it, because Zhuang Rui looked at more than ten pieces of windowed materials, and it turned out to be nearly as good.
Half of them are fake rough stones.
Generally speaking, fake jadeite is generally reflected in three aspects. The first is fake color. The most common ones are artificial dyeing or bright color, artificial pine flowers or python belts, grilled jadeite color, dyeing turquoise color; making iron shells and drilling holes.
Color filling.
The main dyeing methods for rough stones include plating, dyeing or burning. Many aspects of the identification are the same as those of jewelry, but there are some signs that jewelry does not have. For example, the green color present in the original stone is immersed from the surface to the inside.
The color tone always has a taste that is either blue or yellow, and some burnt spots of varying sizes can be seen on the surface. These burnt spots are caused by corrosion by acids and alkali.
The second method is to fake leather shells. Use high-quality jade leather shells to stick scrap materials, waste rocks, and fake goods, and then bury them in soil soaked in acid and alkali to make them resemble "real leather" and cover up the jadeite shells.
There are artificial traces.
When identifying, you must first clean it with water, check every point and surface of the leather shell, do not miss the small holes, seams, and holes, and compare the color and particle size changes. It is difficult to judge the fakeness of fake leather shells just by looking at them.
It is also the most commonly used method by unscrupulous rough stone dealers in the market.
The third type is forgery. A skilled craftsman can forge the incision of jade without polishing the parts other than the incision. Because there are cracks, black spots, damage and other problems in the original stone, the illusion is used to distract the appraiser.
The purpose is to cover up or cover up defects, and the methods are mostly inking, writing, sticking tape or paper, smearing with mud, peeling without polishing, or making small openings in large pieces, etc.
The three categories mentioned above are relatively common. In addition, there are other counterfeiting techniques such as mixing true and false colors, inlaying patches, painting with heart, skylight caps, drilling holes and filling holes, forging weathering, hollowing out and increasing the clarity, etc. Because of the jadeite
In recent years, it has become more and more popular among consumers, so a large number of fake rough stones have appeared in terms of supply.
Except for the Pingzhou public sale, the other two jade auctions that Zhuang Rui participated in were all formal public sales at the national level in Myanmar. Almost all the people who could go there were veterans in the industry, so those rough stone merchants did not
What kind of tricks are they doing? Although Zhuang Rui is very aware of these deceptive techniques, he has never had the opportunity to see them with his own eyes.
But today, it was an eye-opener for Zhuang Rui. Among the dozens of rough stones in the venue, almost half were artificially brewed. All of the above-mentioned fake techniques can be used.
After finding it, Zhuang Rui felt dumbfounded that the trip was worthwhile and that he had gained a lot of experience.
…
"Grandma, no wonder those foreign companies are trying their best to open up the domestic market. I bet our country has so many talented people..."
Ouyang Jun has always been with Zhuang Rui. When he saw Zhuang Rui's expression was different and asked what was going on, he felt dumbfounded. China's social structure determines that those who became rich earlier are indeed a bit like "
As said in the movie "Big Shot": only buy expensive ones, never the right ones.
These bosses all think that green rough stones are good materials if they open the window, but they don’t know that these things can be faked. Just like a domestic furniture manufacturer in Guangdong, after acting as an agent for a very famous foreign furniture brand,
They say that all their raw materials are imported, but in fact they are kept in secret and all the materials used are processed domestically. This has deceived a large number of wealthy people.
Zhuang Rui touched Ouyang Jun lightly and said, "Fourth brother, do you know anyone here? Go back and find someone to bet on. If you don't make money, you won't make it in vain..."
In fact, Zhuang Rui and Ouyang Jun can also place bets, but if the bets are relatively large, he is a professional himself. When the answer is revealed, those people will definitely have thoughts about him. It will be too ugly.
Although Zhuang Rui doesn't like these people, he doesn't want to offend them for nothing. Find an outsider to bet. Even if those people suffer losses, they can only break their teeth and swallow blood. They probably don't even have the idea of regaining their place.
There will be.
"This matter is easy to handle..."
Ouyang Jun was so smart. After hearing what Zhuang Rui said, he understood. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. After speaking a few words in a low voice, he looked at Zhuang Rui and smiled: "Qi Zi is not in the club, but 40
I'll be here within a few minutes, uh, Qi Zi is the owner of this club..."
The person Ouyang Jun was talking about had an elder in his family who worked in the Ministry of Finance. His background was very different from Ouyang Jun's. He was also much younger than Ouyang Jun. He belonged to a new generation of stubborn people. So after receiving Ouyang Jun's call,
I guess I'll have to rush if I run a red light.
"Well, let's make it clear to that guy, don't act like he's familiar with you..."
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this. Instead of leaving these talents to be slaughtered by rough stone counterfeiters, he might as well take the plunge himself and let them know how deep the water is in the jade shop.
Ouyang Jun waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Qi Zi is much more experienced at doing these things than you and I..."
No matter where you are, there are some capable people who specialize in helping people build relationships and smooth things over. There are especially many of these people in Beijing. They specialize in helping people apply for and approve projects, and are also responsible for serving as officials and giving gifts, etc. Those who come to Beijing in local areas
In people's eyes, everyone is a capable person.
Of course, those who open their mouths and identify themselves as the nephew of a certain minister or the nephew of a certain chairman are mostly "mouthy men" who are paid to do nothing. However, there are also many people who are paid to do things, but the things they do are average.
There are also some discounts.
Qi Zi's club has these functions. As the boss, he is naturally clear about this joint deception.
About 10 minutes later, the ten pieces of materials for the afternoon stone betting had been selected. It was also noon. Mr. Tang greeted Zhuang Rui and the group went to the restaurant of the club to have lunch.
Although this club is not the top private club in Beijing, it is still quite famous. The restaurant provides members with wine and food 24 hours a day. Today, Mr. Wang may have greeted him in advance. Basically, the people dining in the restaurant are
They are all participating in the stone gambling this time.
"Teacher Zhuang, look at my piece of material. Is there any jade in it? This is an old item that my grandfather kept for thirty or forty years. When my father was doing business, my grandfather didn't even let him sell it..."
During the meal, Boss Wu took a glass of wine and walked to Zhuang Rui's seat. Apart from Mr. Wang, the organizer of this stone gambling, he was also the first person to call Zhuang Rui his teacher. Boss Wu was also better than Zhuang Rui.
He is four or five years older, but he is not like those old guys who rely on their old age.
"Haha, this...it's really hard to say..."
Zhuang Rui shook his head helplessly. The person who can ask this is an outsider among outsiders. As the saying goes, it is difficult for an immortal to break an inch of jade. It is impossible to judge such a rough stone without any performance, even if it is left to Mr. Tang to judge.
Dare to tell lies.
However, seeing that Boss Wu had a good attitude, Zhuang Rui thought for a moment and lowered his voice and said: "Be careful when you go back to clean the stone. Don't cut the stone. If there is jade in it, it will be cut..."
Unraveling stones is a delicate job. A piece of jade worth 10 million yuan may become 5 million yuan if it is not solved properly. Zhuang Rui nodded at Boss Wu from the side. His words can only go so far. As for whether he can
Understand that Zhuang Rui has no choice.
"Huh? Thank you, thank you Teacher Zhuang. All your expenses at the club tonight will be charged to my account..."
Which business person is not a monkey spirit? After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Boss Wu's eyes suddenly lit up.
This person likes to hear good things. Zhuang Rui said that his rough stone was good, so Boss Wu believed it and regarded Zhuang Rui as an expert. However, if Zhuang Rui said that it was a broken stone, Boss Wu would probably say Zhuang Rui's words.
It's not easy to do things without hair.
During the dinner, Ouyang Jun received a call and went out. When he came back, he winked at Zhuang Rui.
…
"Everyone, today we have the honor to invite Mr. Tang from Burma, known as the "Emerald King" for our Stone Gambling Club activity, uh... and Mr. Zhuang Rui. Thank you both for taking the time to participate in this event despite your busy schedule. The following is
Let me tell you the rules of stone gambling..."
After dinner, everyone returned to the club. Mr. Wang took a microphone and talked about the rules of stone gambling today. There were three dealers accepting bets for this stone gambling, and based on the performance of the rough stones, each rough stone
Odds are given, and after the rough stone is unlocked, money will be paid to everyone based on various odds.
For this reason, Mr. Wang specially invited two jade appraisal experts from the Jade Association. However, those two were only responsible for the appraisal after the stone was broken, so they had to come here a little later.
"Okay, now everyone can bet. Members of our club only need to fill in the betting slip. Friends who are not members need to use cash or check..."
Not all of the people who participated in this event were members of the so-called Stone Gambling Club, but many of them were knowledgeable friends brought by the members, so Mr. Wang said the following words.
"Hey, Mr. Wang, it's better to come early than to come early. I'm here to join in the fun..."
As soon as Mr. Wang finished speaking, a man in his thirties with a crew cut walked in.
"Hello, Mr. Qi..."
"Mr. Qi, why are you here free..."
"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Qi can participate. This is the honor of our club..."
Xiao Pingtou seemed to be very popular. After entering the club, everyone greeted him. Although this guy was about the same age as Zhuang Rui, he enjoyed much better treatment than Zhuang Rui.
