Entering the vault, you will see thousands of square meters of constant temperature and humidity basement separated into five glass warehouses by customized bullet-proof glass.
They are miscellaneous warehouse, porcelain warehouse, calligraphy and painting warehouse, jade warehouse and jade raw stone warehouse.
"The design cost of this underground treasure room alone cost Xu Ji more than two million."
Xu Duofu introduced to Shen Yu with a pained face.
"This is one of the most important treasure houses of Xu Ji Antiques. Most of the valuable antiques sold in the store are kept here. After you see the sky-high price of jadeite, I will take you around here. , you can see whichever warehouse you want. If there are antiques you like, it’s no problem to give you two.”
Shen Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm not afraid of heights, but I don't like staying underground the most. It feels too depressing!"
After entering through the huge door just now, Shen Yu felt that he had made many turns and he didn't even know how many places he had turned.
Basically, you have to walk up two flights of stairs, a human security guard, and three smart access control points before entering the underground treasure room. During this process, you have to constantly swipe your card, face, and fingerprints, which can be said to be extremely cumbersome.< /p>
Let's put it this way, if someone doesn't know the way and comes to this underground treasure room, he may not be able to go up by himself. Even giving him a map is difficult.
Shen Yu unscrewed the mineral water bottle he carried with him and took a sip of water. Just as he was about to take a look, Xu Duofu dragged him to a giant glass door.
I saw Xu Duofu punching the glass door twice, "Did you see it? These glasses are all customized according to my requirements. They are very strong. A grown man can't break them even if he hammers them for 24 hours." .
"Only I know the specific locations of the few ventilation ducts. Even my grandfather doesn't know about them. I'm not afraid of being guarded or stolen. It can be said that the entire underground warehouse of Xu Ji is made of iron and steel.
"Why, isn't my place nice?"
As a listener, Shen Yu nodded gently from time to time. Since Xu Duofu wanted to brag and show off, as a good brother, let him brag.
The person currently guarding the jade warehouse is a young man in his early thirties, with fair skin, thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, and a medium height.
This man's hair is neatly combed, and he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a bookish temperament.
Shen Yu actually knew this person, Xu Zhengfeng, whom he met at the Cuiyu Tower in Hanli.
Xu Zhengfeng also remembered Shen Yu. After seeing Shen Yu, he shook hands with Shen Yu enthusiastically.
After a few pleasantries, Shen Yuxin said that it seemed that Mr. Xu still trusted people from the Xu family more, otherwise why not use people from the Dong family to guard the vault?
"Zhengfeng, although the ventilation facilities here are very complete, the air quality is not as good as above ground after all. Don't let Lao Wu and the others stay here for too long. Please open the door as soon as possible."
After Mr. Xu gave his instructions, he turned around and took a simple, golden key from the bodyguard behind him and handed it to Xu Zhengfeng.
Xu Duofu also took out a similar key from his waist and handed it to the other party.
Xu Zhengfeng respectfully took the two keys and screwed them into the keyhole one by one. He heard a sliding sound of the machine spring, and with a click, another keyhole suddenly appeared in the mechanical lock on the glass door.
Seeing the keyhole appear, Xu Zhengfeng skillfully took out a shining silver key from his body, put it into the keyhole and twisted it gently. A mechanical lock on the glass door opened in response.
But this is not the end, because there are two locks on this glass door. In addition to the mechanical lock, there is also a smart door lock.
I saw Xu Zhengfeng smiling at Xu Duofu, "Uncle Seventeen, it's your turn to take action."
When Xu Duofu and Shen Yu are together, his playful smile is not normal, but in front of the employees of Xu's Jewelry, he is unusually calm.
He nodded and then walked slowly to an iris intelligent recognition device and blinked three times in a row. After the glass door clicked again, it finally split into two parts on both sides.
This jade warehouse is very large, almost over 300 square meters.
Shen Yu originally thought that Xu Duofu would "treat" these stone-making woolen materials well because of such a big scene, but he didn't know that he was just like other woolen material merchants, just randomly placing all kinds of woolen materials of different sizes on steel shelves.
This kind of steel shelf is welded with special steel pipes, and then a layer of pine board with a thickness of five centimeters is laid on it. Unless the shelf with this structure is violently dismantled, there is basically no possibility of damage.
Shen Yu roughly counted and found that there were twelve three-story steel frames in the warehouse, and there must be as many as a thousand pieces of stone-making wool on them.
Wool is a customary name for raw jadeite by jadeite practitioners, which means stone.
Because jadeite is wrapped in a layer of weathered skin after being mined, no one can know its inner quality.
No one even knows whether there is jade in it. Only when the rough stone is cut can it be fully known, so it is also called a gambling stone.
Simply buying and selling jade raw stones is a legal way for jade merchants to obtain raw materials. It is a trading behavior and can also be regarded as an investment.
Shen Yu walked to a nearby steel shelf and picked up a rough stone and looked at it. It was a good piece of old elephant skin material, belonging to Laokeng species. The outer skin was obviously wrinkled and felt good. You could tell without turning on the light. The gambling potential is very high.
Gently putting the rough stone down, Shen Yu picked up a piece of brown wool.
This is a piece of raw yellow salt sand-peel jadeite grown in Laokeng, which is about two-thirds the size of an A4 sheet of paper. Its appearance is very rough, like grains of sand and salt, and it feels slightly painful to the touch.
To use the best adjective to describe it, it is like touching a weakened version of the lychee shell.
Huang Shapi is a treasure in the eyes of experienced stone gamblers.
Because this is a kind of leather shell that is very easy to produce high-quality jadeite, among which yellow salt sand peel is the most common. The more uniform the surface particles are, the higher the chance of producing high-grade jadeite.
The cost of just such a small piece of wool is estimated to be no less than one million.
I took a few glances at the stone wool materials in this warehouse. Judging from the external appearance, most of the wool materials here are much better than those in Jade Tower, at least two or three grades higher.
"Mr. Xu has been working hard in the jade and jewelry industry for decades, and his connections cannot be underestimated!" Shen Yu secretly praised in his heart.
Of course, you still have the financial resources to be able to store so many high-quality jadeite rough stones when the raw materials are so expensive. It is simply impossible to do it with less money.
There are also many on the ground, which are larger and better-performing woolen materials.
He walked over and took a few glances, and one of the large rough stones with a strange shape caught Shen Yu's attention.
This piece of wool looks oval at first glance, but after you circle it, you will find that the upper and lower sides are flat.
If you use an object to describe it, it is like two large cooking pots at a country banquet turned upside down, which is very interesting.
