Chapter 988: Some are happy and some are sad
"The bet... has the bet gone up? Teacher Zhuang, if... I had known earlier, I would have wiped the stone first..."
Standing next to Zhuang Rui, Lao Guo was the first to see the cut surface washed by water. Looking at the jade cut into two parts by the gears of the stone cutting machine, Lao Guo's face was full of regret.
The gear of this stone cutting machine is not thin. It is only used for cutting stones. It is usually like cutting jade, which requires special tools. However, Zhuang Rui's knife cut a lot of jade flesh.
"Uh...Teacher Zhuang, I don't mean anything else, I just feel it's a pity..."
After Lao Guo said that, he realized that his tone was a bit harsh, and he quickly explained, who is Zhuang Rui? His level of stone gambling can surpass him eight streets, so what qualifications do he have to teach Zhuang Rui a lesson?
"Well, Boss Guo, you are right. I didn't expect the skin of this rough stone to be so thin. I really lost a lot of money with this knife..."
Zhuang Rui said it was a pity, but his face was calm and calm. In the eyes of everyone, this is the style of everyone. A stone that is almost impossible to find jade was stunned by Zhuang Rui's bet.
Yes, this is simply a miraculous thing.
There is no shortage of miracles in the stone betting circle, and there are stories no matter how outrageous. However, being able to see these legends on the spot still makes the onlookers feel excited.
"Steve, go and see...what grade is the jadeite that was extracted?"
George's face looked a little ugly. Although he was not the kind of person who didn't want to see good things in others, no one would be in a good mood if he watched others pick up on his faults.
Steve nodded and walked towards the stone cutter. At the same time, several jewelers and jade merchants who were familiar with Zhuang Rui also gathered around. Some people picked up a small half of the rough stone on the ground and gathered together to whisper.
The research started.
"Boss Jin, how are you? What kind of Shuitou ingredients are you using?"
"Old Han, tell me quickly, is it imperial green jade?"
"You're just fooling around. If the imperial green is so easy to come out, then what's the point?"
"It's hard to say. Teacher Zhuang has solved the imperial green material twice..."
The scrap that was recognized by everyone had greatly increased in price after Zhuang Rui's attack. This anecdote caused everyone to talk about it, and even some impatient people urged those who were observing the jade flesh.
As for Zhuang Rui, he was squeezed out by everyone at this time. Zhuang Rui had been staring at this piece of material for a day. I am afraid that no one present knew how he performed. Zhuang Rui was not in a hurry and lit one with a smile.
The cigarette started to smoke.
"The head of the water is blue, it should be able to reach the level of ice, or even better. The material is floating flowers, which is a good quality material for making bracelets. Judging from the thickness of the leather, it should be able to weigh around eighty or ninety kilograms..."
Han Haowei held a magnifying glass with a small bright light bulb and observed the cut surface of the half stone on the stone cutting machine for a long time before giving his own judgment.
Han Haowei's jewelry company is also very famous in China. As an old man who has been working in the jade shop for nearly twenty years, many people still believe what he says.
"My dear, blue water floating flowers, this kind of jadeite bracelet is very popular..."
"If you can really get out more than ten kilograms, then this piece of material can be worth at least 40 million RMB?"
"No, Teacher Zhuang bought it for 100,000 euros. Now he's making a lot of money!"
Boss Han's words made everyone excited. After buying the foreigner's scraps, they found the sky-high price of jadeite. This story is very legendary, enough for them to brag about when they go back.
After seeing the jade cuts, Han Haowei squeezed in next to Zhuang Rui and whispered: "Boss Zhuang, how about giving me half of this piece of material?"
Jade is different from other traditional businesses. In ordinary businesses, channels are king. Whoever controls the sales terminal will be ahead.
But the jade business is not like this. To be honest, the jade jewelry sold in the store are all low-grade goods. At most, there are one or two pieces that are relatively valuable, and they are just for show.
The really good stuff at the bottom of the box is sold through other channels. Jewelry merchants like these have a list of powerful buyers. Usually when there is good stuff, these people are notified first.
Not to mention that most collection materials like imperial green are sold at auctions. Even the jade jewelry with blue water and ice flowers is sold out in a specific circle, and there is no need to display it in a jewelry store.
Promote them piece by piece.
Many people see that many jewelry shops are empty and think that they have no business, but they are wrong. This is called a bun with meat but not in the folds. This is the same as in an antique shop that does not open for three years and opens for three years.
Somewhat similar.
Today's Chinese people have absolutely terrifying spending power. Even the famous luxury stores on the Champs Elysées in France are specially equipped with clerks who understand Chinese to entertain Chinese tourists.
So these jewelery merchants are not afraid of not being able to sell good items. Whoever can get high-quality jadeite will have a high-end consumer group. That's why Boss Han shamelessly asked Zhuang Rui for jadeite.
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said: "Old Han, this material is not much, I promised to give Boss Guo 20%, forget it this time, I will think of you next time when I have good goods..."
Zhuang Rui's "Qin Ruilin" jewelry store in Beijing has now become a place for the consumption of top-quality jade jewelry, with many celebrities and wealthy people joining in. Basically, as long as high-quality jade jewelry is put on the shelves, it will be sold out immediately.
Some auction houses even send people to Zhuang Rui's store every now and then to snap up some top-quality jadeite that can be put into the auction. This material is indeed what Zhuang Rui needs, otherwise he wouldn't go to bid in the afternoon.
.
Although Zhuang Rui doesn't care much about these jewelry sales, it is still his own business. He can't leave his business alone to take advantage of others, right?
After rejecting Han Haowei, Zhuang Rui turned to Lao Guo and said, "Lao Guo, this small piece of material, even if it is your share of 20,000 euros, is almost 20%. Do you think it's okay?"
According to Han Haowei's estimation, the two pieces of material together are worth 40 million RMB, and a 20% share is 8 million. Lao Guo spent almost 200,000 RMB and got 8 million in vain. He was a little stupid for a while.
.
Not only was Lao Guo stupid, but also the bystanders who were watching looked at Lao Guo with envy, jealousy, and hatred. They all complained that they were slow to react and did not help Zhuang Rui at that time.
If Zhuang Rui shouts again now, it is estimated that it will definitely not be a problem to raise one to two billion RMB in the shortest possible time.
You must know that in every jade public sale in recent years, the transaction volume has exceeded tens of billions of RMB, and most of that money is concentrated in the hands of these jewelry merchants.
"Lao Guo, you are just lucky. You don't have to gamble with stones this time..."
"Yes, Boss Guo, I will give you a red envelope later..."
"Well, let Lao Guo have dinner tonight. Let's order a seafood dinner and kill him hard..."
Some friends who were good friends with Lao Guo started to congratulate him one after another. Since Zhuang Rui had spoken, this was definitely the case.
After hearing those chattering words, Lao Guo reacted, looked at Zhuang Rui and waved his hands repeatedly, and said: "Teacher Zhuang, this... this can't be done, I... I can't have it, just give me 20,000 euros."
Yes, I really can’t have this…”
It's not that Lao Guo doesn't want these eight million, but if he really reaches out to take this piece of material, someone will definitely gossip behind his back, and he is a little ignorant in it. After all, two hundred thousand RMB and eight million
The difference between the numbers is a little bit big.
"Okay, Boss Guo, we are destined to be together, so I will leave this piece of material to you. I will untie this big piece first..."
Zhuang Rui waved his hand and stopped Lao Guo. He had a good impression of this middle-aged man. It was probably because Lao Guo said just now that he entered the stone gambling circle after seeing himself gambling, which reminded Zhuang Rui of the past.
To.
"Then...thank you, Teacher Zhuang..."
They were all big men, and they had agreed twice in advance. Lao Guo didn't have any ink. He took the small half of the rough stone from Zhuang Rui's hand, but his eyes were a little confused, and he didn't seem to have reacted to this incident.
.
"Brother Guo, what are you going to do with this piece of material?"
When Zhuang Rui was holding the big piece of material and was about to continue polishing the stone and taking out the jade meat, Boss Han, who had not taken advantage of Zhuang Rui, came to Lao Guo's side.
Zhuang Rui doesn't care about money, but that doesn't mean others don't care either. Lao Guo doesn't own a jewelry store, he just relies on luck to make profits by betting on stones. If Lao Guo is willing to buy it, of course he is willing to sell it.
After the two of them muttered for a while, Lao Guo transferred a small half of the rough stone to Han Haowei, and he had an extra check of 9 million RMB in his pocket.
Zhuang Rui noticed this scene from the corner of his eyes, smiled and shook his head, focusing on the materials in front of him again. If he picked them well, this half piece of jade could still be used to make more than ten pairs of bracelets.
"Steve, then...how much is that piece of material worth?"
There is never anything that everyone is happy about in this world. Some people are happy and others are worried. At this moment, Mr. George's face didn't look very good. He couldn't understand Chinese and could only wait for Steve to finish the appraisal before he asked.
"George, it's all my fault. I didn't insist on solving it..."
Steve's face was uglier than George's, and there was a slight tinge in his words. He spent 3.8 million euros to carefully select a rough stone that was fully bet, and in the end he actually got a cheaper price from a Chinese. This made Steve
Tiff felt as if he was being clawed by a cat.
Of course, what Steve hates most is the boss in front of him... George, if it weren't for this money-grubbing guy, maybe he would be the one in the spotlight now.
