"Lao Qian, please tell us what the price of gem light is, so that we can be targeted and bring out as much valuable gem light as possible from Lop Nur." Wei Changqing's face was filled with emotion. The way of light.
Qian Mingyuan was speechless. He thought that the entire Lop Nur was a jade mine? Did he just bring out as much as he wanted?
Although he really didn't want to talk to Wei Changqing, when he saw Han Kongque looking at him curiously, he said helplessly: "The price of gemstones in Yadan jade has been rising all the way, and it has become a collection of nobles. Currently, it is on the market. price.
The market price depending on the color, size, and condition is approximately: red, perfect condition, about 50 grams in weight, no ribs, crystal clear gemstone, 10,000 yuan per gram.
Yellow, perfect condition, weighing about 50 grams, no ribs, crystal clear gemstone. Five thousand yuan per gram. White, perfect condition, weighing about 50 grams, no ribs, crystal clear gemstone per gram. One thousand yuan.
Above 50 grams, the weight will increase, and the price per gram will increase. If it is less than 50 grams, the weight will decrease, and the price will be discussed based on the light transmittance, completeness, and the number of ribs."
"If all gemstones are so beautiful, it is normal for the price to be high." Huang Shan said while looking at his mobile phone.
"No matter how beautiful it is, it's still a stone? Who knows if the gems on it are real or fake? Maybe these are glass balls." One of Wei Changqing's bodyguards said.
Qian Mingyuan said: "What does gem light look like? Don't listen to hearsay. Their words will soon be taken away by the wind of the devil city. As long as you see the real gem light, you will always remember its touch." Sample."
"It stands to reason that a lot of gemstones should have been discovered over the years, so why aren't there many on the market?" Zhaodong said a little confused.
"Yes! Shouldn't there be more and more gemstones discovered as time goes by? Why do I think there are fewer and fewer gemstones on the market?" Wei Changqing asked incomprehensively.
"It is normal for the rough stone trading market to shrink. First of all, some of the good rough stones have flowed to Shanghai, Yangcheng and other places in the past two years. The other part has been rough-cut by carvers in the past two years and has become unsaleable street goods. Some carvers can carve six pieces in a day, but they won't carve bad materials. More than a thousand carvers have been carving for several years, how many good materials can you think of?" Qian Mingyuan sighed.
"Lao Qian knows this very well?" Han Kongque asked.
Qian Mingyuan had nothing to hide. He said directly: "Many of my friends are in this industry, so if you know something, let's talk about Lao Hu! He has ruined a lot of gem lights in recent years."
"He?" Han Peacock asked doubtfully. He had never noticed that the Hu family and his son were the kind of rich people who used gems as stones to destroy. However, even if they were rich people, they didn't care about his affairs. As long as Han Kongque was sure to do it It would be enough if Mingyuan really has a wide network of contacts.
Qian Mingyuan smiled and said: "Their family has not been playing with jade for a long time. Buying and selling jade raw stones is just a means for them to accumulate capital and acquire nephrite. In his home, there are many large and small gold wires on display. The precious variety of jade, Beitun Red, is not only for him to watch and play with. He can also carve it himself, but his craftsmanship is not the master he thinks it is, which wastes a lot of top-quality golden silk jade."
"Beitun red? Is it a kind of gold silk jade?" Han Peacock asked curiously. Although he was knowledgeable, he was not knowledgeable but not expert. He didn't know a lot of professional knowledge.
Qian Mingyuan explained: "Beitun red golden silk jade is a precious jade species. It has rich varieties and bright colors. This variety is extremely scarce because Beitun red golden silk jade was discovered relatively late and its production is rare. Beitun red golden silk jade is very rare. Tunhong golden silk jade is very rich in color and extremely hard. The jade is of good quality and easy to carve. It also has unique textures on the surface of the jade, which allows jade carving masters to freely use their imagination to carve, so the price is very high. , it is considered a famous brand among gold and jade.”
"It's hard to find good golden jade nowadays. As long as you see good jade in the market now, the asking price is over ten thousand." Wei Changqing said.
"The Hu family has a lot of this kind of golden jade, just like Hetian jade. If nothing goes wrong, the Hu family will not be short of it in the future." Thinking that the Hu family and his son have gone into the mountains again, as long as they pay the price, they will definitely mine it. Hetian jade.
"I really didn't realize that their family is still a wealthy family." Han Kongque said with a thoughtful look on his face.
"This is an opportunity. One year, Lao Hu suddenly had the idea to acquire all of Beitunhong with a few friends. At that time, he also approached me, but something happened to my family, so we didn't invest together.
Beitun red is a special variety among gold silk jade. Although the color is bright and moist, most people who played with stones in Karamay at that time did not know what Beitun red was. Instead, it was like a tropical fish. In Mabei, in 184 The group traveled around.
They only have top-grade gemstones in their eyes, so Lao Hu took advantage of this opportunity to acquire a large amount of Beitun Red. Later, Beitun Red became popular, and the Beitun Red in his hands naturally increased." Qian Mingyuan said with a wry smile. , he lost too many opportunities.
"The price of Beitun red has increased, so naturally they won't waste it casually." Han Kongque said.
“After golden silk jade became famous, there were fewer hot-headed buyers. After watching the exhibition or publicity, everyone became more rational in consumption and knew what kind of carvings were valuable for collection. A good golden silk jade raw stone must have good creativity. Only good artistic carvings are valuable and show respect for this kind of jade gifted by God. The market is now more mature than before, so the Hu family and his son have less corrupted jade." Qian Mingyuan said.
In the past, some people in the market were crazy and confused, so many people bought low-quality carvings, which made the market look very hot on the surface.
"Actually, these low-quality carvings are worthless. As collectibles, the quality must be guaranteed to have room for appreciation." Qian Mingyuan finally said.
"It seems that the Hu family is really rich, otherwise they wouldn't be so wasteful." Han Kongque said.
Wei Changqing said: "If you really love carving, you might as well find some strange stones to carve for fun. Such stones are also very popular in the market now."
Qian Mingyuan said: "There are stores in the market that specialize in selling low-quality golden silk jade. Strictly speaking, it is a stone, not a jade. Not every stone in the Gobi can be called jade.
As early as the beginning of 2005, each piece of good rough stone on the market only cost tens of yuan. Jade collectors in Shanghai and Guangdong province soon began to purchase large quantities of jade. The overall price of golden silk jade increased by 20% to 30% every year. rise.
In 2010 and 2011, the frozen stone varieties of golden silk jade and gem light prices increased to thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. Among golden silk jade, the highest prices were the gem light and frozen stone varieties."
"Frozen stone? It seems that there are quite a lot of varieties of golden jade that we don't know about." Wei Changqing said with a smile to Qian Mingyuan.
"As long as I live and learn, even if I specialize in this, I can't say that I know all the varieties of golden silk jade, let alone the more varieties of nephrite." Qian Mingyuan said.
"What about the frozen stone? What happened to the frozen stone?" Wei Changqing asked.
"The famous product among golden silk jade, second only to gemstone is frozen stone. The unique stone type of Yadan jade, 'light-frozen' multicolored jade, is now more and more favored by investors. It was once produced in Wuerhe I bought a light jelly weighing one kilogram," Qian Mingyuan said.
"Things are rare and precious. Those transparent and pure gold and jade are hard to see. But when I see a piece by chance, the seller hopes to get a good price. The asking price of 80,000 to 100,000 often scares away many people from the mainland. acquirer.
Nowadays, good materials rarely appear in the market, so many outsiders go to the roadside stalls along the way to Ah, Letai, or Dure and other places to look for them." Han Kongque said.
Since 2013, in the largest trading market, Urho Jade City, the number of gold silk jade sellers has been much lower than before. Good gold silk jade is now rarely seen in the market.
"This is normal. You can't pick up a piece of high-quality jade in a month now. The poor ones are left out in the market, and the amount of jade that is actually traded has also been reduced." Wei Changqing said.
"So! It's hard for craftsmen like us to get along." Qian Mingyuan said with emotion.
Han Kongque is not very clear about the nephrite industry, but Han Kongque is aware of the jade industry. In the jade industry, there is no way for a carver who does not go out to work.
What he knew was that in one market in Pingzhou, there were as many as 40,000 people engaged in the carving industry. This market was themed around high-end jade materials such as jade, and ordinary carvers had almost no chance of survival here.
I think the same is true in the nephrite industry. Good and famous carvers are naturally sought after and rushed to hire them, while those who are not famous can only change careers, just like Qian Mingyuan. If it weren't for this reason, Han Kongque would also hire them. Can't reach him.
Qian Mingyuan briefly talked about the local jade processing situation in Xinjiang, and Han Kongque knew clearly that most of the stores in Karamay are low-level apprentices who basically cannot make anything of artistic value. They can only work in some In tourist destinations, gold silk jade is sold to foreign tourists at low-end prices.
When tourists from other places take back gold silk jade of that level, they invisibly lower the quality of gold silk jade in their minds.
Carvers in the south, on the other hand, are charged based on real-time market prices, and carvings are charged by working hours. The working hour fee ranges from 300 to 2,000 per day depending on the reputation of the master carver, and the price for those with senior professional titles is calculated separately.
This is an obvious comparison. In this case, it is obviously more profitable to work in the south, so the level of carving in Karamay is getting lower and lower. Even some masters have left. Therefore, in recent years, the local Only then will the government hire some masters from the south with high salaries to process all kinds of jade.
"So, all the good jade stones have fallen into the hands of those masters?" Wei Changqing said angrily.
Qian Mingyuan said: "A large part fell into the hands of master carvers, and also in the hands of some private collectors." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
