The fat man was also appraising it at the moment. Like Ning Xiaofan, he directly skipped the jade and picked up a sapphire with the infrared professional flashlight that Monkey Shunlai had in his hand to appraise it.
There were fifteen gems in total. After a while, the fat man identified most of them. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he did not identify the kind of gems he wanted.
Ning Xiaofan didn't have the equipment to appreciate gems at the moment, so he could only stare at the fat man, hoping to figure out something from the fat man's expression.
Before that, he had also heard Fatty say that some of the gems on the market today are very likely to have local treasures mixed in them, but the people who got the gems didn't know it. Even with a strong flashlight, they couldn't appreciate it. They had to use special tools.
Only with an infrared flashlight can you find the different clues.
Ning Xiaofan noticed that the man in Tang suit seemed to be only interested in gems, and the small flashlight he held seemed to have red light coming out. He often had to appraise the things that the fat man had appraised. As for jade, he didn't know anything about it at all.
Go touch.
At this time, the fat man picked up another gem. The purple gem was in the shape of a purple rhombus, about the size of a dragon's eye. It was crystal clear, filled with purple light, and looked very good. However, no one went to this very eye-catching gem.
Come on, even the fat man only casually picked up this gem for appraisal after appraising many gems.
Ning Xiaofan was very interested in that very dazzling gemstone, for no other reason than that gemstone did indeed attract the eye. He was just a little surprised as to why no one picked up such a beautiful gemstone to appreciate it first.
The fat man took the purple diamond-shaped gem in his hand and shined it with a flashlight. He was a little careless at first, but when he shined the light, his hand trembled obviously. However, he quickly stabilized and his expression did not change.
, just like when identifying gems before, I took a few photos and put them into the box.
Fatty seemed very casual, but Ning Xiaofan noticed his subtle changes. There must be something fishy about Fatty's behavior.
After the fat man finished appraising it, he picked up another gemstone and appraised it. After a while, he appraised all the gemstones one by one. He breathed slightly and said, "Sister Wang, the goods this time are good."
The one named Sister Wang smiled and said: "I remember that fat brother has always been interested in antiques. These gems and jades are not old things. I didn't expect that fat brother still likes these gadgets?"
The fat man sighed and said: "It's hard to make antiques now. There are too many parallel imports. I'm going to change my career. This time I need a gemstone as a pendant to give as a gift. I've taken a fancy to a few of the goods you brought this time.
.”
While the two were talking, the man in Tang suit had already appreciated most of the gems in the wooden box, except for the purple gem. When he picked up the purple gem, the fat man's little eyes flashed, and there was a hint of nervousness.
The color passed by in a flash.
The fat man's hidden eyes were noticed by Ning Xiaofan. At this moment, he was almost sure that the purple gem must have some secret. The fat man's flash of nervousness made Ning Xiaofan also become nervous, because at this time, the Tang suit
It takes men longer to identify purple gemstones than other gemstones.
After a while, the man in Tang suit put the purple gem into the box. There was no change in his expression, giving people a very calm feeling.
"Brother Feng, how are you doing? Do you like anything good?" The fat man seemed to be familiar with the man in Tang suit and asked with a smile.
The man in Tang suit named Feng smiled faintly: "The things are good, but most of them are not suitable for my collection, but one of them is more suitable for giving as a gift, and I am going to buy it."
"Oh, what do you like?"
"Here, that's the one." The man in Tang suit pointed at the purple gem casually.
The fat man blinked his little eyes: "Tanzania, haha, these gems are either not too expensive or too inferior. This is the only tanzanite suitable for giving as a gift. Brother Feng has a good sense, but I'm sorry, I didn't expect it.
Brother Feng also likes this tanzanite, and I also like this tanzanite, and I plan to use it as a gift, what should I do?"
"Are you interested too?" The man in Tang suit's eyes flashed slightly, and then he smiled softly: "This is easy to handle, we can only follow the old rules, the one with the highest price gets it, what do you think?"
The fat man smiled and said: "Haha, easy to say, easy to say, just follow the old rules. It's just that although this tanzanite is beautiful in appearance, it is not the best, and its value is not much higher. I hope Brother Feng will give it to me.
Hands, don't raise the price too high, otherwise I won't be able to afford it, brother."
After the fat man and the man in Tang suit said a few words, Sister Wang listened and the smile on her face became even bigger. The two people in front of them were willing to put up a price for anything they liked. Although the price of this tanzanite is not comparable to that of other gemstones,
It’s high, but with these two guys on hand, there’s no problem in selling it for 30% more.
At this time, the man in Tang suit pondered for a moment and said: "Fat brother, are you really interested in this tanzanite?"
"Yes, this is the best gift to give. It looks good and looks good when presented."
"Haha, fat brother is right. It's very respectable to give gifts based on appearance. But...if fat brother is willing to part with me, how about I owe you a favor?"
The fat man blinked his little eyes twice: "Brother Feng, I also want to say this. Are you willing to give up your love?"
The man in Tang suit seemed to have expected that the fat man would say this, and smiled softly: "It's difficult if we don't give in. How about this, fat brother, how about we go next door and have a chat?"
"Okay, let's talk." The fat man was quite happy. He got up and left the private room with the man in Tang suit.
Ning Xiaofan saw the fat man and the man in Tang suit coming out of the private room, saying they wanted to chat, but he felt that there must be a private deal between the two, and their target was already obvious, which was the tanzanite they were interested in.
Regarding tanzanite, Ning Xiaofan had heard that it was produced in Tanzania, Africa. It was first discovered at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, and it has been the only place of origin since then. Because of its bright color and crystal clear color, tanzanite is very popular in Europe and the United States.
The country welcomes it, and its largest sales place is in North America. It has only become popular in China in the past two years.
The price of tanzanite is relatively popular. Unless it is a special tanzanite, the price is relatively expensive. For example, the "Heart of the Ocean" worn by the heroine of Titanic is tanzanite. The price of its imitations has been rising.
If you encounter the best tanzanite, its value is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Not long after the fat man and the man in Tang suit came out of the private room, which probably took about ten minutes, they returned to the private room. After they entered, they both had a faint smile on their faces, as if nothing had happened.
As soon as the fat man came in, he said: "Sister Wang, I'm sorry, I have to give Brother Feng some face, and I will give up the tanzanite to Brother Feng."
"It doesn't matter, fat brother, you didn't get the tanzanite this time. If I have it next time, I'll keep it for you and won't sell it to anyone."
Although the texture of this tanzanite is good, it is not worth much, so Sister Wang naturally doesn't care.
The fat man thanked him politely, called Ning Xiaofan and Monkey, and left the private room.
Returning to the private seat, Ning Xiaofan saw that the faint smile on the fat man's face had disappeared without a trace, his expression was changing, and his expression was not very good-looking.
Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but ask: "Fat man, is there something wrong with tanzanite?"
Ning Xiaofan could tell that there was something wrong with the fat man, and the monkey, as his right-hand man, naturally noticed it and asked quickly: "Fat brother, is that tanzanite the local treasure we are looking for?"
The fat man smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, that tanzanite is indeed a local treasure."
When the monkey heard this, he shouted: "I said, Fat Brother, you don't have a fever, do you? Since it is a local treasure, why don't you buy it? Why did you give it to Lao Feng?"
As soon as Monkey finished speaking, Fatty slapped him on the head: "Your sister, Fatty is not strong enough, what can you do if you don't give it to him?"
Ning Xiaofan now doesn't know how to use local treasures as tomb robbing lingo, and hurriedly said: "Fat man, what's going on? You are willing to spit out this fat? This is not like your character at all."
The fat man said angrily: "You think I think, we are not lucky this time. To be honest, when I saw Lao Feng using an infrared flashlight to identify gems today, I already felt that something was wrong. As expected, Lao Feng had already known about the local treasure.
Moreover, Lao Feng not only knows that he also has a circle, but he knows as much about local treasures as you and I..."
Having said this, the fat man sighed dejectedly and said: "Lao Feng had a private chat with me just now and settled me in one sentence. He said he was willing to pay a million dollars to capture that gem. If I want to fight with him,
He can continue to increase the price. As soon as he said this, didn't he tell me clearly that he knew the value of that gem? Damn, use money to throw money at Fatty. Fatty, my total net worth is only a few hundred thousand, how can I have it?
Do you have the confidence to fight with him? In the end, Lao Feng made a condition, saying that as long as I let go, he would be willing to introduce me to their gem circle. Oh, by the way, their circle had another explanation, saying what the gem was called the spiritual stone..."
"Spiritual stone?"
Ning Xiaofan was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that this local treasure was already very fantasy, but now it is not fantasy, but a fairy tale.
The fat man nodded and said: "Yes, spirit stones. Old Feng said that their circle also knows the types of spirit stones very well, and they also hold a trade fair every once in a while. Old Feng also said that if we can
Once you get the spiritual stone, you can also trade it in that circle."
Hou San heard what he said and said: "Fat brother, if that circle really exists, even though we failed to get the gem this time, oh, the spirit stone, we are not at a loss, at least we will have it in the future.
A sales channel.”
The fat man sighed: "That's right, I have no choice but to surrender to what he said. My ancestors were stern, and that bitch Lao Feng got a big deal this time. He got the spiritual stone at the price of tanzanite."
When I get it, I feel really suffocated just thinking about it.”
Ning Xiaofan said curiously: "Fat man, you said he got a big deal, how much is that spirit stone worth?"
"It's not much. That spiritual stone is a defective product and is worth about three million. Damn, that tanzanite is worth at most fifty thousand. He got the spiritual stone at the price of tanzanite. It's still cheap.
Don’t want to choose the big one?”
As soon as the fat man said these words, Ning Xiaofan and Hou San couldn't help but look at each other, this was a huge bargain...
