The price offered by the jade merchant was very fair. For the green wool in front of him, he could only get some jadeite for pendants at most, and its value was around fifty or sixty thousand. He was willing to spend an extra thirty thousand to buy the other half.
When you buy the woolen material, you can bet that there will be some green in the half of the woolen material.
You must know that at the current Pingzhou Jade Fair, there are three types of people. One is like Song Jun, who does not cut or deconstruct stones. They only buy wool that performs well and hoard it, waiting for the price of rough stones to rise. The second
The first type is represented by the middle-aged man in front of me, who comes here specifically to gamble on stones. If the bet goes up, the value will double. If the bet goes down, it is likely to be heavily in debt.
There is another type of person, the jade merchant who just made a bid. They usually make jade for ordinary people. Of course, most of these jade merchants also have their own jade carving processing factories. They are also the ones who turn the wool into jade.
, the largest consumer.
So wherever there is news about someone cutting stones, these people will rush to the scene and shout out the price if the bet goes up. You know, due to the Myanmar government's restrictions on the export of raw stones, many jade shops in the country are facing a shortage of raw materials.
This is a phenomenon, so generally as long as the raw materials sold are not from shitty places, they will be snapped up by these jade dealers. Comparatively, the price of jade is also divided into three, six or nine, and each has its own consumer group.
Maybe the price given by the jade merchant was very fair. After waiting for a while, the middle-aged man saw that no one was willing to offer a price, so he nodded and said, "It's only 60,000 yuan. You can take these two yuan."
."
After hearing this, the man who looked like a jade dealer waved his hand, and a young man carrying a black bag squeezed over, took out six knives from the bag and brought the money with the bank seal, and handed it to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had an expression on his face.
It was very bad. He didn't count the money after he took it, and stuffed it directly into the bag he brought. He looked at the piece of wool on the ground that still belonged to him, with a gloomy expression on his face.
While the middle-aged man was standing there undecided, Zhuang Rui stepped forward and asked, "Brother, do you still want to sell the remaining wool?"
Zhuang Rui's words caused a burst of boos from the onlookers, and even the middle-aged man was a little shocked. You know, even though these jade merchants spent a lot of money to buy raw materials, they all bought raw materials.
, like the piece of wool on the ground, the cuts on both sides are not green, it is basically a waste, these businessmen will not spend a fortune on this kind of wool.
The reason why the middle-aged man was just looking at this piece of wool in a daze was because he didn't know how to deal with it. Just throw it away. It was a pity. If he continued to cut it, the middle-aged man couldn't lose his dignity. He still had to cut it when it was obvious waste.
.
"Sell it, why don't you sell it? If you want 40,000 yuan, take it."
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the boos in the crowd got louder. This was because Zhuang Rui was regarded as a traitor, but judging from Zhuang Rui's desire to buy this scrap, I guess this man is not very smart.
.
"Youngest brother, you are sick. It's all broken stone. You still want to buy it?" The third child on the side became anxious and quickly stopped him.
"Well, if you don't buy it, it's all scraps. It's still selling for 40,000 yuan. You can keep it for yourself."
Zhuang Rui said something unhappily, separated from the crowd behind him, and pretended to leave.
"Hey, little brother, the price is negotiable. How much do you want to buy it?" The middle-aged man became anxious when he saw Zhuang Rui leaving. If Zhuang Rui didn't buy this piece of wool, he would have thought of throwing it away.
, now that he can sell some money, how can he let go of this opportunity?
"Five thousand yuan, if you sell me, I'll keep it for fun. If you don't sell it, I'll kill you." Zhuang Rui said with a nonchalant look.
"The youngest, five thousand yuan is more than half a year's salary for my brother."
The third child had lived in the same dormitory with Zhuang Rui for four years and knew him very well. Now that he saw that Zhuang Rui really wanted to buy it, he did not say anything to dissuade him, but he was still mumbling.
"Hey, third brother, any piece of wool in this field can be sold for more than 5,000 yuan. I spent 5,000 yuan to let my brothers see how to dissect stone. It's cheap enough. Hey, will you sell it? No.
Sell me and leave."
After Zhuang Rui heard what the third child said, he was happy. He looked up and saw that the middle-aged man was still undecided, so he urged him.
"Ten thousand, I'll give it to you for ten thousand yuan. Anyway, I spent 850,000 yuan, so I don't miss the five thousand yuan." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and offered a price of ten thousand yuan.
"Okay, I'm too lazy to do ink with you."
Zhuang Rui took out 10,000 yuan from his handbag and threw it to the middle-aged man. Regardless of the looks of disdain on him from around him, he bent down and took the piece of wool aside, because he would buy two other pieces of wool.
The jade merchant is preparing to cut the stone.
"That kid is simply sick. He spent 10,000 yuan selling a piece of scrap material. He might as well pick up a stone from the side of the road and cut it into pieces."
"Yes, today's young people don't know how high the sky is and how high they are. They think that jadeite can be found just from a piece of wool."
"The kid will probably have to cut it open in a while. Let's stay and watch the joke."
Zhuang Rui was tired of standing now, so he simply sat down on the piece of wool he bought. These words came to his ears. The third child was embarrassed to stand with Zhuang Rui. He was also despised by others.
Already.
"Damn it, it will come out later. Grandpa won't sell it to you for a penny less." Zhuang Rui was also very unhappy after hearing this. He was happy to spend money, so these people didn't care.
The middle-aged man was really unlucky. When he made the first cut, he was still seven or eight centimeters away from the green jadeite. If he had cut half of the piece of wool from the middle,
If so, we can definitely get the jade out of the wool.
But the middle-aged man turned the wool over and made a cut from the side of the pine flowers. He had a good idea and was afraid of damaging the jade behind the pine flowers, but it happened that the knife cut from the edge of the jadeite.
Going over, Zhuang Rui took a closer look and found that the cut surface was only less than two centimeters away from the jadeite. If the middle-aged man had shaken his hands, Zhuang Rui might not be able to get the piece of wool.
Things that could not be bought for 800,000 yuan were now obtained for 10,000 yuan. At this time, Zhuang Rui fully realized the old saying "Sometimes in life, you must have it. In life, there is no time, don't force it!"
meaning.
"Oh, it broke again..."
Just as Zhuang Rui was making his own little calculation in his mind, the jade merchant who bought two pieces of wool had already cut the other piece of wool. Zhuang Rui didn't even need to look at it to know that there was nothing in that half of the wool.
, thirty thousand yuan is like wasting money.
However, the jade merchant then untied the piece of wool that produced the green color, wiped it all the way down from the pine flowers, and actually took out two pieces of jade the size of a baby's fist. This made the merchant's tense face slightly slightly
After relaxing for a while, with these two pieces of jade, the 60,000 yuan was considered a guaranteed capital. If the master carver handled it properly, there might be a small surplus.
"Brother Zhuang, why don't you pick a piece of wool and explain it? Don't worry, the price will be the cheapest."
The crowd gathered next to the stall had basically dispersed, and there were only a few people who entered the Yang Hao woolen fabric area to buy woolen fabrics. Even several people who were originally looking at the woolen fabrics there had left.
Apparently he was affected by this gambling failure.
People who gamble on stones are very superstitious. If the bet at your stall goes up, people will flock to you to buy wool. If the bet fails, the situation will naturally be reversed.
Zhuang Rui stood up, patted the pants behind his buttocks, pointed to the piece of wool on the ground and said, "Excuse me, didn't I just buy a piece of wool? Even though it's scraps, maybe it can produce jadeite.
"
"Brother Zhuang, Brother Zhuang, please stop making fun of me. I'll point you to a better piece of material. You can buy it and cut it open in public. Think of it as doing me a favor."
Yang Hao thought Zhuang Rui was joking and was a little anxious. Today was the first day of the stone gambling conference, and the wool materials sold collapsed. Not to mention whether it would affect the business, it was also an unlucky sign.
ah.
"I have nothing to do, why are you kidding me? I bought all this wool, so of course I have to cut it open and take a look. I have a lot of money, so I'm just throwing away 10,000 yuan for fun?" Zhuang Rui replied angrily.
I don’t know how these people identify raw jade stones, why do they all believe that no jadeite can be found in this piece of wool.
"Okay, you can cut it if you want, but make less noise."
Seeing that Zhuang Rui had made up his mind, Yang Hao had no choice but to ask Zhuang Rui to keep quiet. Naturally, he was afraid that he would collapse if people watched him again, which would have another impact on his business.
"Okay, we are just here to cut stones for fun. Third brother, call Viagra and the others and call them all to booth No. 83. We are ready to cut stones."
Zhuang Rui patted the shoulder of Lao San, who was looking at the piece of wool over and over, and motioned for him to call everyone from Viagra. He held the piece of wool, which weighed almost fifty or sixty kilograms, and placed it on the stone cutting machine.
Within five minutes of the third child’s call, Brother Yue Jing and the fourth child came out of nowhere, arm in arm. Brother Yue Jing also held a piece of wool the size of a fist in his hand. When he saw Zhuang Rui, he
He said as if offering a treasure: "Youngest, brother, I bought a piece of wool, what do you think of it?"
"How much did it cost?"
Zhuang Rui asked as he took the wool over. It was quite heavy, weighing about three to five kilograms.
"Haha, I bought it for 300 yuan. According to your words, I don't dare to buy expensive ones. How about this piece of wool? Can there be jadeite in it?" Brother Yue Jing looked at Zhuang Rui with a hopeful look on his face.
"Well, second brother, someone here just cut a piece of wool worth 850,000 yuan, and in the end only 60,000 to 70,000 yuan of jade was found, and the total loss was more than 700,000 yuan, so, what do you think about this thing?
It’s better not to have high hopes, just treat it as a joke.”
When Zhuang Rui was looking at it just now, his aura casually scanned the wool. There was no sign of green. It was just an ordinary piece of weathered ore with skin. He just didn't want to dampen Brother Yue Jing's enthusiasm, so he
