Chapter 127: Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand
However, picking up this thing requires too much luck, and there is no particularly good trick.
Moreover, many meteorites are hidden in deep mountains and forests or Gobi deserts, so it is very difficult to find them.
Grandpa: "It's true that a stone cannot be judged by its appearance. A little bit is more expensive than gold."
The unit price of meteorites is relatively expensive, mainly because they are too rare, but it is not easy to make money from this kind of sideline. With so many people going to the mountains to look for meteorites these days, except Wang Xiaoshan, only one person has found them.
Wang Xiaoshan chatted with his elders for a while and then went back to the house. Although he picked up a meteorite, he didn't know exactly how heavy it was. There was no scale at home that could weigh it so lightly.
Wang Xiaoshan put the meteorite at home and then went out. He was going to the supermarket to buy a small scale to weigh the thing, which would make it easier for him to take action.
Wang Xiaoshan bought a scale and took it home. This iron meteorite is really light, only 102 grams. If it is calculated as 2,000 grams per gram, the meteorite he picked up can be sold for a lot of money.
The meteorite was picked up. Now Wang Xiaoshan is short of a buyer. Several old customers happened to ask him if he had picked up the meteorite. He chose one of these old customers: Zhang Hanyang.
Among these old customers, Zhang Hanyang is relatively familiar with Wang Xiaoshan, and often gives him rewards in the live broadcast room. The two have a good relationship.
Wang Xiaoshan first sent a message to Zhang Hanyang and asked the other party if it was convenient for him to answer the phone now. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hanyang's call came shortly after the message was sent.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Hello, Zhang Hanyang, I would like to ask you a favor!"
Zhang Hanyang: "Hello, Lao Wang, tell me anything. If I can help you, I will definitely help you!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "I picked up a meteorite this afternoon and want to take action. Do you have any ideas for this?"
A few days ago, Zhang Hanyang asked Wang Xiaoshan if he had picked up a meteorite. At that time, Wang Xiaoshan told him that he had not picked up a meteorite. It took less than 5 days to pick it up. This is too fast.
Zhang Hanyang: "There is a way, but you need to identify it first, so that it is easier to take action."
There are now domestic institutions with the ability to identify meteorites. These third-party identification agencies can use instruments to conduct non-destructive chemical analysis of stones suspected of being meteorites.
The analysis results are compared with domestic meteorite data. It is relatively reliable, and the identification certificate is highly recognized. Having a certificate also facilitates buyers to quickly inspect the goods.
Nowadays, meteorite collection is very popular, which also leads to a lot of fake meteorites on the market. If you don't understand people, you will often buy fakes, so now many people will go to institutions to have them tested, which is more reassuring.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay, then I'll go and get it appraised tomorrow!"
This time Wang Xiaoshan is not going to tell the audience in the live broadcast room that he has picked up a meteorite. There are so many people in the village looking for meteorites. Once the news gets out, a bunch of people will come to his house to see the meteorites.
Maybe some people might have to wait in front of Wang Xiaoshan's house to go up the mountain with him. This is not the result he wants.

Zhang Hanyang: "Old Wang, do you know what kind of meteorite you picked up? If you know, I can help you first and ask if anyone has collected it."
Wang Xiaoshan: "It's an iron meteorite, weighing 102 grams."
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, it was almost dinner time, so Wang Xiaoshan went to help his grandma cook. During dinner, he told his elders that he would make arrangements for tomorrow.
After dinner, Wang Xiaoshan chatted with his elders for a while and then went back to his room to sleep. He has now developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
......
The next morning, Wang Xiaoshan had breakfast at home and set off. Last night, he had already checked out some places that could be identified. The place was a little far from his home, so he might come back a little late.
When it was almost 10 o'clock, Wang Xiaoshan started the live broadcast. Although he was not going up the mountain today, he still wanted to say hello to the audience.
"Hello everyone in the live broadcast room, I have something to do today and I need to go out, so I can't take you up the mountain!"
[Including today, I haven’t gone up the mountain for three days. Lao Wang has not been very dedicated these days!]
[What could be more important than making money? There are so many wild beasts in the mountains waiting for you to discover, why are you still running around!]
[Can Lao Wang live broadcast 24 hours a day in the future? If I don’t look at you for a second now, I feel sick all over. Now I just have to make you my screensaver!]
[What can I do if I finish everything today and go up the mountain in a hurry tomorrow, waiting to see you dig a big deal!]
"I'm really sorry. I'll try to finish everything today and go up the mountain tomorrow!"
Wang Xiaoshan didn't want to waste a day, but there was no way. The meteorite had to be identified. The identification should be completed as soon as possible, take action early, and go to the mountains to dig for big stuff.
Wang Xiaoshan chatted with the audience in the live broadcast room for a while and then left the broadcast. He arrived at the high-speed train after eating lunch. He was going to go straight to the place where he was going to appraise today, which is a legal third-party appraisal center for collectibles.<
/p>
When Wang Xiaoshan arrived at the place, he discovered that there were so many people appraising them, and many of them were holding stones, porcelain and coins.
Wang Xiaoshan filled out the form, paid the fee, and then handed the meteorite to the staff. While waiting for the results, Zhang Hanyang's call came.
Zhang Hanyang's speed is also very fast. The buyer has already been found for Wang Xiaoshan, and he is just waiting for Wang Xiaoshan to complete the appraisal and get the certificate to trade.
However, the appraisal center's appraisal speed was a bit slow. Wang Xiaoshan had to wait for 3 hours to get the appraisal certificate. Moreover, meteorite transactions generally involve payment in one hand and delivery in the other.
So Wang Xiaoshan had to take the meteorite to meet the buyer. In order to avoid delaying tomorrow's live broadcast, he had no choice but to take the high-speed train to the city where Zhang Hanyang is located.
Today, Wang Xiaoshan only played on the high-speed rail. It was almost dinner time when he arrived in the city where Zhang Hanyang was located. Zhang Hanyang took him to meet the buyer first.
The buyer checked the meteorite and then looked at the certificate to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the meteorite. The two parties discussed the price again, and finally the 102-gram iron meteorite was sold for 316,200, which is 3100 per gram.
Wang Xiaoshan is quite satisfied with this price. He earned more than 300,000 yuan by climbing a tree. This tree is worth climbing.
Wang Xiaoshan learned from the buyer that the most expensive meteorite in the world is called the black emerald meteorite. The price of a single gram is tens of thousands of yuan. If you can pick it up, you will definitely become rich overnight.
According to the buyer, there is only one well-preserved black emerald meteorite in the world, and humans are currently unable to determine its origin, so it has high research value and collection value.
After Wang Xiaoshan finished the transaction with the buyer, it was already getting late. He had no way to rush home today. He could only stay here for one night and rush back tomorrow morning.
After the transaction, Wang Xiaoshan transferred a sum of money to Zhang Hanyang. Zhang Hanyang couldn't let Zhang Hanyang's help go to waste.
