Seeing that Yu Fei's expression didn't seem like he was doing anything, Cheng Jiadong simply gave him some basic knowledge about jade to prevent him from making any shocking remarks later and embarrassing those around him.
Judging the quality of a piece of jade is generally measured from four aspects: the background color of its seed water. The seed refers to the thickness of the crystal particles. The smaller the crystal particles, the better the seed. The larger the crystal particles, the worse the seed.
The best is glass, and the inferior one is ice. Both ice and glass are high-end materials in jade. Water is also called water head, which refers to the light transmittance of jade, that is, the degree of transparency of jade. Experts divide water into
From one to three points, the transparency gradually increases from low to high. Three-point water is the most transparent, and the glass type is three-point water. The bottom and color both consider the overall quality of jadeite. The bottom is a tray that sets off the green, and is a contrast to the green.
Comprehensive consideration of some water species. Color refers to the color of jade. There are many colors of jade, which can be roughly divided into green, yellow, red, purple, white, colorless, multi-color, etc. Among them, green is the most valuable, green is the most respected, and emerald green is
The highest level of jadeite. However, as the jadeite market becomes more and more popular, this situation is also quietly changing. The value of many jadeites with pure colors is not even lower than that of imperial green. People may be attracted by its purity.
But nothing is absolute
While Cheng Jiadong was explaining, Yu Fei's attention was attracted by two people haggling at a stall.
It's not because these two people are so strange, but because one of them actually speaks Japanese.
Boss Cheng, why do you gamble on stones? Yu Fei, a Japanese, asked strangely.
Your question is fresh. We didn’t make jadeite, so why don’t we allow the Japanese to gamble on stones? Cheng Jiadong said with a smile: Because of the Chinese people’s love for jadeite, the ultra-high profit margins of the jadeite market have also attracted a lot of foreign funds.
Influx, not only Japan, but also some businesses in Europe have entered the jade trade.
So that's it. Yu Fei nodded. He was not a narrow-minded nationalist, but when he saw the Japanese appearing in Pingzhou's fair, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
The boss is a young man in his early thirties, and he is not very enthusiastic about the two Japanese people. He looks like he doesn't want to buy anything.
The slightly taller Japanese acted as a translator. He seemed to be a master of China, and his Mandarin was probably more standard than most GD people.
These two Japanese people have good taste. This is Lao Houjiang's food. The stall owner is from Lao Yang's family. Cheng Jiadong glanced at it and said.
Boss Cheng and the stall owner were also familiar with Yu Feiwen. I couldn't tell that Cheng Jiadong was a well-connected person.
I don’t know the stall owner, but I recognize the sign. The Yang family is considered a legend in the stone gambling world. The old Yang family’s ancestral home is Yin Ruili, and they ran a caravan in the Qing Dynasty. In 1993, Tengchong, the largest jade trading port in the country, was
After its closure, Ruili became the only land trade center for Myanmar jade to flow into China. More than 60% of jade raw materials were imported from Ruili to China, and Ruili became one of the four major jade distribution centers in the world. The old Yang family is also
Since that period, he has been engaged in the reselling business of jade wool, and now it is probably not an exaggeration to say that he is the leading jade wool merchant in the country. Being able to stand on his own at the 30th Exit, this stall owner is not an easy person. Cheng Jiadong briefly introduced it to Yu Fei
Let’s take a look at the stall owner’s background.
Boss Cheng, since it’s Lao Houjiang’s material, let’s go pick out two bricks, Yu Fei said. In fact, he wanted to see what the two Japanese materials were like. If it was rubbish brick material, it would be fine.
The jadeite was not bad, so Yu Fei tried to grab it. Even if he couldn't grab it, he still raised the price. He couldn't let these two little Japanese people get it so cheap.
Why didn't Cheng Jiadong understand his thoughts? But he really wanted to see if there was any good material worth selling, so he walked over with Yu Fei.
The shorter of the two is called Hashimoto, who is the president of Sakura Love Jewelry Club under the Mitsui Group. Its main business is in China. The taller one is Noda, who is Sakura Love’s jadeite expert and can be considered an expert.
What a skill.
What Noda is interested in is a rough stone of about 30 kilograms. It is not small in terms of size. According to Cheng Jiadong, the skin color is not bad and it should be regarded as a piece of color material. The so-called color material is between brick material and flower card material.
Within a short period of time, it is possible to find high-end jadeite, or it is possible to get nothing. There are not many good materials in the open label, and most of the flower-brand materials are placed in the hidden label by the stall owners in the hope of selling them at a high price. Even if they are clearly marked,
Some of the flower-brand materials are just used by the stall owners to attract individual customers. Although they are color materials, the price is quite high due to the size and the factory. Boss Yang offered an entire head of one million.
.
Noda and Hashimoto were talking in Japanese. Yu Fei couldn't understand the content of the conversation. It seemed that they were discussing whether to buy or not to buy.
Of the two, Noda talked more, while Hashimoto frowned slightly, seemingly still undecided.
Finally, Hashimoto said a brief sentence, seemingly issuing an order.
After hearing this, Noda showed a troubled expression and said to Boss Yang: If the price drops to 800,000, we will take this stone.
Boss Yang shook his head and said without hesitation: Just one million. If you like it, buy it. If you don’t, you will lose it. Although this was a hard word to say, Noda understood it, so he conveyed Boss Yang’s meaning to Hashimoto.
.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Fei guided the energy of chaos to inspect the wool materials that Noda was interested in.
Yu Fei was relieved when he saw this. Although there was jade in this rough stone, and the water level was also very good, reaching the level of ice, the color looked too much. These two Japanese people also had average eyesight.
According to Boss Cheng's introduction, the purer the color of jade, the higher the price. This piece of wool has many and mixed colors. There are five colors in it. Although green accounts for the majority, there are also red, purple and yellow on it.
In addition to the original white base, there are as many as five colors, and the price will definitely not go anywhere. It is even questionable whether it can be worth one million.
Of course, classmate Yu Fei would not be kind enough to remind these two Japanese friends that they had lost their bet. He didn't know that Cheng Jiadong's words were only half of what he said just now. Moreover, no matter how bad the color was, or even colorless, just talking about this piece
The planting water and volume of jadeite are more than one million, so if you don't know how to do it, it will kill people.
Boss Cheng, you just said that the purer the jade color is, the more valuable it is. Does that mean that the more colors and the more complex the colors, the less valuable? Yu Fei thought about it for a moment, and then asked for confirmation uneasily.
This is not absolute. Even if the color of many jade is not pure, the price is not low because of the good combination. For example, spring ribbon color, also called spring flower, is a combination of purple, green and white. Purple and green are invisible, which means spring flowers are blooming.
.
Cheng Jiadong further explained: Jadeite has carried profound oriental cultural connotations since ancient times and has an irresistible charm. The color of jadeite has also been given different meanings by people. For example, purple is believed to mean longevity, while red represents blessing.
Green represents Lu, because the pronunciation is similar. The three colors of red, green and purple coexist on a piece of jade, which is called Fu, Lu and Shou. It symbolizes good luck and good luck and represents the three joys of happiness, happiness and longevity. The price is not inferior to that of solid-color jade. Of course, the most important thing is
The most important thing is the planting water of jade. If the planting water is not good, no matter how good the color is, it will not be sold at a high price.
Yu Fei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked: What if it is a piece of jade with a high water content and high ice content, and it has five colors: red, green, purple, white, and yellow?
Hahahaha. Cheng Jiadong laughed loudly: Stop daydreaming. Many people have never seen this kind of top-quality jadeite after playing with jadeite for a lifetime. Haven't you heard that there are no fish when the water is clear, and the glass type is generally high in ice?
Most of the jadeite is colorless. A little bit of color is already expensive, not to mention the colorful jadeite that represents happiness, wealth, longevity and wealth. You, you, it is better to be down-to-earth. Just read some introductions in the book and start betting.
Stone is not necessary
Yu Fei couldn't hear clearly what Cheng Jiadong said behind him, and Noda's voice could be heard faintly in his ears: "One million, just one million. I bought this rough stone."
