Chapter 99 [Hey, why didn't it fade? 】
Closed on Sunday.
In the morning, I helped my parents wipe the floor, sweep the bed, and clean up the house. I went back to the house and turned on the computer. I checked my account balance on the homepage of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Well, there were more than 30,000 yuan left. So I took out my cell phone and called Jiang Yan, asking her father if there were any mid-range pendants worth about 30,000 yuan in the store, and the earrings and rings. I mainly wanted to maximize my interests before the jadeite soaring market came. On the phone, Jiang Yan didn't say anything else, but only told me that she and Xi Mansha were in the store with her father. At Xinjiekou, I asked me to go over to find her.
The area around Xinjiekou is a famous jewelry and jade wholesale market in Beijing.
I looked at the address she sent her text message. As soon as I entered the shop, I saw Xi Mansha and a boy of seven or eight years old. Teacher Xi was still wearing a bandage on his right hand, and his left hand might be slightly injured. At this moment, he took off the cast and it seemed that there was no big problem.
"Hello, Teacher Xi, how are your hands?"
"The left hand is almost done, and the doctor with the right hand said he would take it for a while." Seeing me, Xi Mansha's cheeks flushed.
Of course I wouldn't forget that thrilling day, and coughed, "What Jiang Yan said that day..."
Xi Mansha's eyes drown, and her face turned red again: "Later, I found two boxes of Ji Desheng Snake pills from her cabinet. Well, you don't need to explain, I can probably guess it."
Huh, that's good, that's good, "Hey, where's Jiang Yan?"
"Damn!" Jiang Yan's signature cry came from behind: "Damn mirror! I'm waiting for you at the intersection! Where did you come out?"
"Uh, you went to the north intersection?" I said embarrassedly: "I went to the south and rode my dad's bicycle."
Jiang Yan gave me a speechless look: "You are so good. You have so much money. You don't know how to take a taxi when you go out. Do you want to be a wealthy slave?"
I could only smile bitterly: "How can I still have money? I only have more than 30,000 yuan on it. I plan to buy a jadeite from Uncle Jiang's store."
Jiang Yan widened her eyes: "No, the 200,000 yuan gambling stones and the tens of thousands of Cizhou Kiln were spent in a few days? I really admire you!" When Xi Mansha heard this, she immediately picked up the teacher's airs and scolded me, asking me not to spend money randomly. Jiang Yan covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Soon, she pointed and pointed at the little boy playing with electric racing in the corner: "This is the child of my father's friend. They went to the auction house to do business, so I asked me to help take care of it temporarily. By the way, do you want to buy small ornaments? What's the use? Do you give it to someone?"
As my best female friend, I think it is necessary to remind her: "Merald will appreciate in the near future. I am going to buy one to store and sell it later."
Jiang Yan reached out to touch my forehead with exaggeration: "Don't you have a fever? Don't you read the newspaper?"
Xi Mansha also frowned and said, "Appreciation? Why did I hear that jade is depreciating?"
"Hehe, I'm drunk too much in the mirror. Well, let me tell you this. Even if jade can appreciate in value, if you spend 30,000 yuan to buy an extremely small and extremely small mid-range earring ring face, you won't make much money." Jiang Yan hugged her shoulders and looked like a little expert: "Listen, today's jade transactions can only be quickly fulfilled and circulated. As long as the medium and low-end jade flows from the store to the customer, its liquidity will be almost zero. Whether it is a pawn shop or Xinjiekou, few stores will recycle medium and low-end jade. We only collect raw stones and high-end jade. Do you understand?"
"But there is always a place to collect, right?"
"What about the price? Can someone give it to you according to the average market price?"
I said oh, and didn't say anything. She said it was right. If you want 30,000 yuan to buy a pendant, it might be a waste of work. Keep the money for emergencies.
Jiang Yan glanced at me: "Although I admire your luck and your vision of antiques, I am the jade industry, I... hey, are you a newly bought necklace?" She casually pulled the red rope around my neck with her hands, and squeaked, and the water drop jade jumped out of her neck. Jiang Yan was stunned: "Damn! Am I a ghost? The legendary imperial green? The glass type?"
Teacher Xi also raised his surprised gaze: "Imperial green glass species? Isn't that the best green seed in the world?"
Just as I was about to say something, Jiang Yan rubbed Shuizhuer and smiled: "Okay, the workmanship is good, it looks like it is really. Auntie, you don't think about it. If you really look at the green color, my dad's piece is more than one level worse than it. How can you buy a mirror? It must be a popular method of film fraud in the first few years."
There was a time when fake coats were rampant in the jade market, and many experts were deceived because this technology was extremely tempting. From the appearance, it was impossible to distinguish the difference between this object and the full-green glass. However, when this fraud technique was known to everyone, the wrapping technique gradually disappeared. There are two reasons: First, the cost of fake coats is extremely high. Once they are seen through, let alone legal disputes, the cost will be a large amount. Second, although fake jade made by this technology is difficult to identify with the eyes alone, it can be revealed immediately as long as you stroke it gently on the glass. As we all know, jade can ground glass, but the wrapping cannot, and it will fade after being polished.
"I was almost fooled by you. Come and take it down and let me see. I saw a wrapper from my dad when I was in junior high school."
I hesitated: "This..."
Jiang Yan glared at me with her eyes: "Look at your stingyness, it's not worth much, don't worry, I won't ruin it for you."
Everyone said this, but I couldn't refuse, so I hesitated to take the water droplets to her.
Jiang Yan twisted it and compared it on the sunken collarbone, laughing and said, "Don't say, if you take this out, it will be quite confusing."
The little boy put down the remote control of the toy car and came over curiously: "Sister Jiang Yan, this pendant is so beautiful."
"Hehe, it's really more beautiful than this." She rubbed the little boy's hair with her hands.
"What does it really look like?"
Jiang Yan pointed at the glass booth behind him: "Here, except for a few B-goods, not all the other things are real. These things are real. If you use them to ground glass, you won't have scratches or fades. This is jade."
The little boy was at his extremely naughty age. When Jiang Yan was distracted, he snatched the water droplets in her hand, and squeaked, then reached out and slashed heavily on the glass table!
I was shocked.
Jiang Yan and Xi Mansha also reacted, shouted and quickly grabbed the jade back: "Oh, my little ancestor, just say that this jade is fake, and it will cost a lot of money to destroy it. Look, the surface of the pendant fell off......oh, why didn't it fade?" Jiang Yan and Xi Mansha were both stunned.
I'll go!
That's a real thing! Can it fade?
