...If "cotton" can be clearly seen in jadeite, it means that the material is generally more transparent, that is, it has enough water. At least the material is translucent. In the case of waxy or bean species,
In the material, the phenomenon of "cotton" cannot be seen, because the crystals that make up the material are so thick, the "cotton" is melted into it and cannot be seen (except for ice beans). +◆
Jadeite is very spiritual, and your wearing it is "maintenance". "Conservation" will change the feeling of "cotton" in the material, causing the "cotton" to gradually dissipate, and the material will become moist due to your "maintenance".
, some "cotton" is in the shape of small granules, some is round, and some is flocculent. Severe "white cotton" is called "stone flower", etc. "Cotton" must also be analyzed in detail.
Highly transparent jade material without "cotton" becomes the top glass species in jade. It is a perfect material in terms of germplasm and is rarely seen.?
In addition to cotton, things that can often be seen in jade and can affect the value of jade are 'cracks' and 'black spots'!
'Crack' has been mentioned before and will not be discussed here. Black spots are the black parts in jadeite that often appear in the form of dots, spots, filaments and strips. These different forms of black may be caused by different reasons, and
There are also large differences in mineral composition.
Black spots are often the remnants of chromite that has been replaced by jadeite, black spots are often agglomerates of hornblende, black threads are small and medium veins in jadeite that has been replaced by hornblende, and black bands are larger black threads.
If jade has neither white cotton nor cracks and black spots, it has a resounding name in the stone gambling industry - 'Dragon Stone' jade!
It's just that this kind of jade, which is more precious than glass, has appeared only a handful of times during the hundreds of years of jade development, so that it has become a legend now and is rarely mentioned. Therefore, glass emperor green is
It has become the top jade in people's eyes.
Even Liu Dong himself doubts whether dragon stone jade really exists, because there are very few truly perfect things in the world!
Of course, there are many people who are skeptical about this like him, but some old stone gambling masters firmly believe in the existence of dragon stone species, because the only dragon stone jade that appeared in Myanmar in the late Qing Dynasty was paid tribute to the powerful people at that time.
, and the Empress Dowager Cixi who loves jade!
It’s just that this kind of thing has been buried in the pile of old stories. A hundred years later, no one knows whether it is true or not!
Back from the digression, the ice-green bracelet in Liu Dong's hand contains only a small amount of white cotton. There are no black spots, and when viewed with a high-power magnifying glass, there are very few tiny cracks in the jade bracelet!
This kind of jade bracelet made of high-end jadeite has always been a scarce commodity in the jewelry market! Although it is difficult to sell it at a high price in Myanmar's small finished jewelry market, if you buy it in China, it will be priceless!
"Boss, what's the price of this jade bracelet?" Liu Dong asked.
"150,000 euros!"
Because the entire Myanmar public market is settled in euros, it is the same here.
Liu Dong calculated in his mind that according to the current exchange rate of Chinese currency to euro, 150,000 euros is equivalent to 1.1 million Chinese currency. And now in the domestic jewelry market, the price of such a high-end jade bracelet with ice-yang green color is
Between 2.5 million and 3 million Huaxia coins!
Although there is a big gap between the two sides, don’t think that you can make money by buying it back like this, because the export tax on Myanmar’s finished jewelry is 50%, which is half lower than the export of rough stones. However, compared with the direct export of rough stones, jade like this
There is very little room for negotiation on the price of raw materials.
Adding in a 50% export tax, the cost of this ice-green bracelet immediately became 1.65 million. But don’t think that’s the end of it, because jade jewelry is a luxury product and has to pay high import duties.
It's not as high as 50%, but it suddenly raises the cost of this jade bracelet to more than 2 million.
If you add in shipping costs, labor costs and other odds and ends, you can only make a profit of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan from buying such a finished jade bracelet, which means you can only earn a hard-earned fee. So domestic jewelry merchants would rather buy it.
Those with raw jade are not willing to touch these finished jade.
Of course, the existence of smuggling cannot be ruled out.
And Liu Dong is a guy who wants to use mustard space smuggling to make money.
Without Myanmar's 50% export tax, if this bracelet falls into his hands, he can at least make millions in profit!
So after carefully considering all these aspects, Liu Dong immediately decided to buy this ice-green bracelet for 150,000 euros.
While buying this jade bracelet, Liu Dong also realized another way to make money besides raw jadeite.
And this can just make up for the shortage of finished jadeite caused by the short rise of Qiangwei Jewelry after its rapid expansion and the shortage of jade carving masters!
Of course, even if he had this idea, what Liu Dong wanted to buy was only high-end jadeite products, as well as mid-range jadeite products such as bracelets, jade bead strings, egg noodles and other jade ornaments.
Because this type of jewelry is relatively simple to process and is basically made by craftsmen in Myanmar, the price is relatively low. Jade Buddha statues and other small jade carvings are basically resold from China, so the price is lower than in China.
The purchase price is still high, so Liu Dong is not prepared to buy it unless it is a high-end jade material that has collection value and a high potential for price increase in the future.
But despite this, by the time Liu Dong bought all the jade jewelry he was interested in, he had already spent nearly 2 million euros in his pocket, buying high-end items such as ice type, emerald type, gold type, hibiscus type, etc.
There are a total of 13 pieces of jadeite bracelets, bead strings, and jewelry eggs. There are 134 pieces of mid-range jadeite products such as violet, fine bean, green on white background, and lotus root. Most of them are bracelets.
As for the remaining finished jadeite products such as oil green, cyan, and dry white, Liu Dong didn't want them because the profit margin was too small!
Seeing the huge wealth of nearly 2 million euros being recorded, the middle-aged boss was extremely happy. In the nearly 8 days since the public offering, he has not earned as much as he does today!
Therefore, Liu Dong has become a god of wealth in the heart of the middle-aged boss, and he is always responsive to every request.
However, it was precisely because of Liu Dong's large purchase that the middle-aged boss took out the things he had packed at the bottom of the box.
"Mr. Liu, look!"
Liu Dong, who had packed all the jade into a backpack and was about to leave, was once again attracted by the mysterious actions of his middle-aged boss.
Soon, Liu Dong's eyes lit up. In the wooden box twice the size of a pencil box that the middle-aged boss had just taken out, there was a pair of imperial green glass jade bracelets with a red cloth backing, and a pair of jade bracelets also made of glass.
The necklace, ring, two earrings and a pair of brooches made of imperial green. Except for the jade bracelet, other jade ornaments are inlaid with white gold. Their exquisite workmanship and jewelery are enough to make any woman who sees them fall in love at first sight!
Although Liu Dong is not a woman, he understands the value of this set of top-quality jadeite! It is not only valuable as jewelry, but also valuable as a collection!
The glass imperial green is a real scarce commodity!
"Boss, please make a price!" Liu Dong had nothing to hesitate.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is so heroic!" After giving Liu Dong a thumbs up, the middle-aged boss continued, "Since Mr. Liu takes good care of my business, I won't ask for more than 3 million euros from Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu can take it away!”
"3 million euros!" Liu Dong frowned.
3 million euros is equivalent to 22 million Chinese coins. In China, a pair of glass imperial green bracelets alone is more than this price. However, if you include the nearly 100% tax that will be paid, you can buy this set of jade jewelry for 44 million.
Considering the current market price, it seems too expensive.
So Liu Dong simply shook his head. Although he wanted this set of top-quality jade jewelry, he was not willing to be taken advantage of. "Three million euros is too expensive. After paying the tax, I won't make any money at all if I take it back to China and sell it," he said.
!”
"Mr. Liu's words are wrong. The overall upward trend of China's domestic jade market is very obvious now, not to mention the precious imperial green glass. Therefore, as long as Mr. Liu buys it back and keeps it for two or three years, I guarantee that Mr. Liu will make a lot of money."
!" the middle-aged boss said quickly.
Of course Liu Dong is aware of the rising trend of the domestic jade market, but this does not become a reason for the other party to raise the price. "Although China's jade market is rising significantly now, no one knows what will happen in the future, so I won't pay such a price."
accept!"
Seeing Liu Dong's resolute attitude, the middle-aged shop owner hesitated and took a step back, "Okay, 2.8 million euros. If Mr. Liu is not satisfied with this price, then we will not be able to negotiate this deal!"
Even so, Liu Dong believes that the 2.8 million yuan can still be reduced, because the domestic market price of this set of jade ornaments is around 35 million, which is exactly about 2.5 million euros!
However, compared to the time spent wrangling, Liu Dong is more willing to spend an extra 300,000 euros to visit other merchants! Maybe there will be better gains!
Of course, the extra 300,000 yuan still has to generate a certain value, so Liu Dong thought for a while and said: "I can accept this price...!"
As soon as Liu Dong finished speaking, the middle-aged shop owner's eyes immediately lit up. He originally thought that Liu Dong would continue to bargain, but he didn't expect that this young and famous Jade King was so easy to talk to and agreed so easily that he even
I regret that I took the initiative to bargain just now. If I had insisted on 3 million euros, maybe the other party would have compromised!
But as soon as he had this thought, he became nervous as Liu Dong spoke again.
