Chapter 133 The difference between woolen materials
The area of Exhibition Hall D is about the same size as Exhibition Hall A where Qin Xuanbing's booth is located. However, the exhibits sold here are not finished jewelry, but most of them are jade wool and jade raw materials.
The number of people in this exhibition hall seems to be smaller. Most of the people wandering around the booths are processors or investors. You must know that since the year 2000, the market price of jade has been rising, which has left many hands with some
People with idle funds also invested in it one after another, buying some good wool and hoarding it in their hands. When the market rose again, they could sell it out and make a huge profit immediately.
After entering the exhibition hall, Gu Gu said to Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan: "These are businessmen from Chaoshan and other places in Guangdong. Most of the materials they bring are semi-finished materials. Xiao Rui, you can just wander around, but don't
Feel free to take action, if you like that stone, come and tell me, you two girls come with me."
After informing Zhuang Rui, Gu took Lei Lei and Qin Xuanbing away, leaving only Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan here. The two looked at each other, both a little at a loss. They knew nothing about stone gambling, but Mr. Gu had just
As I said before, this thing all depends on luck. The two of them walked together and wandered around.
Exhibition Hall D has a large area, but there are relatively few people. The white lion and the black lion, who had been holding back for a long time in the counter of Exhibition Hall A, started running happily. After being conditioned by Zhuang Rui's spiritual energy, these two Tibetan mastiffs, although they look fierce,
But they lack the unique violence of Tibetan mastiffs. Unless their owners are attacked, white lions and black lions rarely attack others. This is why Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan can safely bring them to crowded places.
.
There are not many exhibitors of raw jadeite here, only three or five, concentrated in a corner of the exhibition hall, covering an area of about dozens of square meters. The cost for them to participate in this exhibition was much lower, and they did not build any booths at all.
The booth is just a circle of more than ten square meters with a rope, and then a table is placed. It is considered a booth. On the ground inside the rope, there are large and small stones for sale, and there are many people there.
Inside, some were holding magnifying glasses and some were holding powerful flashlights, observing carefully.
These stones are as big as one or two square meters and weigh hundreds of kilograms, and the small ones are only as big as a fist. They are arranged in several rows according to their size. Basically, a very simple stone is built in front of the table near where the boss is sitting.
The wooden shelves are also filled with stones, and there are not many of them. There are only seven or eight pieces on one shelf. They must be made of wool that performs better.
Next to each booth selling wool, there were actually several cutting and grinding machines, large and small. Looking at this professional equipment, Zhuang Rui thought of what he had done a few days ago and couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart.
Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan didn't understand anything, so they simply walked over to see how others could identify these woolen materials.
Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan approached a middle-aged man squatting on the ground. After watching for less than three minutes, the boss sitting at the only square table in the woolen fabric booth shouted to them: "You two,
Are you new to the industry? Come on, let's see how these stones perform?"
The two people watched for a few minutes, but couldn't see any clues. After hearing the boss's greeting, they walked over and saw a few chairs beside the square table. They had been standing all morning and were a little tired.
, and sat down unceremoniously.
"Boss, these stones are all yours? By the way, how do you know what kind of newcomers we are?"
This rough jadeite merchant looked to be a few years older than Liu Chuan and Zhuang Rui. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "As for what you asked, it's just a layman's term. This is not called stone, this is called wool. What's more?
Yes, in this industry, it’s a first-come, first-served basis. Others are not allowed to interfere with the material that others are looking at. Only when others have finished reading it or don’t want it, can others go and check it out. You two will squeeze in on others as soon as you come.
I'm with you, can you tell me if I can't see it?"
"Haha, we are not newcomers to the industry."
Zhuang Rui was a little embarrassed by what the boss said, so he explained: "The two of us are not in the industry at all. I heard that there are jade stones here, so we came here to have a look. If I offend you in any way, please forgive me."
The young boss also laughed when he heard this and said, "It's okay. My surname is Yang, and my last name is Hao. You can come to my stall, which is considered fate. Let's make friends."
Seeing that Yang Hao was so generous, Liu Chuan and Zhuang Rui also reported their names. Yang Hao played with the Kung Fu tea set on the table and chatted with them. He didn't care about the guests who were distinguishing the wool.
Q, this attitude towards doing business made both Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan a little confused.
"Haha, they are all experts. You can't buy them just because you say a few nice words. It's a waste of words. If you like it, buy it. If you're not sure, just change it to another piece of wool. We're in this business.
, there is no need to say anything more, of course, for two such guests, if I can fool you into paying for it, I don’t mind saying a few more words."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's questions, Yang Hao laughed. Like Zhuang Rui, this man had a very comfortable temperament. Even if they just met, they would not make people laugh when they joked.
It feels awkward and off-putting.
"Brother Yang, are there good and bad wool materials? I look at these booths and they all have such a shelf. Is the wool material on the shelf better than the one on the ground? How can I tell the difference?
What about?”
Zhuang Rui doesn't know how to pretend to understand. It's rare to meet a boss who is about the same age as himself and is talkative, so he naturally asks the questions in his mind.
"You two, everyone knows about this raw jade stone. Currently, there is no instrument in the world that can see through the inside of the stone. Therefore, no one dares to guarantee whether there is jade in a piece of wool and what the grade of the jade is, so buy it.
Woolen material is also called gambling stone.
This gambling stone is divided into two types, half gambling and full gambling. Half gambling means I cut a piece of the wool, which is called window opening, or polish off a little of the stone's skin from the edge, which is called rubbing stone.
Whether it is opening a skylight or polishing the stone, the purpose is to make the green appear inside the wool. As long as the green appears, it proves that there is jade in the stone. People who buy the wool can judge the jade in the stone based on the green revealed.
This kind of gambling is called half gambling."
As Yang Hao spoke, he picked up an oval piece of wool about the size of a basketball from the shelf in front of the table. He pointed at the cut on one side and said, "This is half-bet wool. Look, the cut is already green."
, and the water type is good. Generally speaking, the closer the jade material is to the heart of the stone, the better the jade color. Of course, there are many exceptions. There is no guarantee that this piece of wool will contain glass species, but it may also be a dog.
Shit, but it is certain that there is jade in it. The reason why it is said to be a semi-bet is to bet on the grade, color, shape and size of the jade inside."
"Brother Yang, how much is your piece of wool worth?"
When Zhuang Rui was observing, he had already seen through this basketball-sized piece of wool. Except for about an inch of green on the edge, the inside of this piece of wool was completely white. There was nothing there at all.
The existence of jadeite, let alone glass species, doesn't even exist.
"Haha, the performance of this piece of wool is good. Look at the direction of this pine flower. If there is jade in it, it should be ice at worst. It will be no problem to produce a dozen rings or three or five bracelets. I will price it at three hundred
Ten thousand."
Yang Hao touched the stone in his hand and replied, and Zhuang Rui took a breath of air. This was indeed a bet. He and Liu Chuan did not say they wanted to buy it, and the boss also knew that they did not understand and could not deceive the two.
Human, that is to say, Yang Hao really thinks so. Even the boss who sells wool has misunderstood. If anyone buys this piece of wool, it won't be to his grandma's house.
After Yang Hao put the half-finished wool back on the shelf, he pointed at a pile of black stones on the ground next to the shelf and said: "These are full-finished wool, and the price is much lower than half-finished wool."
, but whether jade can be found in it depends entirely on the buyer's vision and luck. Of course, the quality of the woolen material also depends on the quality. Some woolen materials with python patterns and pine flowers that perform very well are priced no more than half the price.
How much lower is the bet? How about you two, do you want to try your hand?"
This Yang Hao seems to be a talkative person, and maybe he is quite bored sitting here. Knowing that the two people in front of him know nothing about jadeite, he simply explained it to them from the most basic point.
"Come on, brother Yang, this piece of crap of yours only costs 3 million. You can't afford it even if you sell more than 200 kilograms of it to me. Is it cheaper? It costs tens of dollars each. How much do you want to buy?
Let's have fun..."
Liu Chuan waved his hand and said carelessly. He was different from Zhuang Rui. Zhuang Rui would be more humble when meeting people of similar age. Liu Chuan would definitely act as the eldest brother.
However, looking at Liu Chuan's appearance and behavior, Yang Hao could tell that this man really didn't understand and was not looking for trouble, so he was not angry after hearing this, but just a little dumbfounded, "A few dozen yuan of wool, you think it's in the market
Buy Chinese cabbage."
"Brother Liu, don't make fun of me. Whether these materials are half or full, they are all shipped from the jade mines in Myanmar. They all have the possibility of containing jade. Not to mention that I bought these jade.
The price, not to mention the shipping cost from Myanmar to China, even if I rented a car from Guangdong and brought it here, it would still cost a lot of money. I would sell it for dozens of dollars each, but I can’t even make back the gas expenses.
