Chapter 043: A Box of Jade Jewelry
To be honest, Zhou Taixiang was really happy to see Qin Guanlai.
Because Zhou Taixiang made a lot of money on the Qilin Glass Pendant.
On that day, Zhou Taixiang got the glass pendant without spending a penny and began to look for a buyer.
Just seven days ago, the eldest grandson of Guo Baiwan, a big salt merchant in Suzhou, was born. After Zhou Taixiang found out, he began to sell the glazed pendant in his hand and named it "Qilin glazed pendant".
When a child is born, Qilin means the best, and Guo Baiwan is willing to spend money to give the eldest grandson the best things to bless the safety of the elderly. He paid 38 o'clock directly and bought the glass pendant.
Once in and out, without spending a penny, Zhou Taixiang made a net profit of 80 yuan. Today, when he saw Qin Guan coming, he naturally greeted him with a smile.
Zhou Taixiang asked Qin Guan to wait on the second floor. He went up to the third floor by himself, and soon came down with a sandalwood box.
Seeing the wooden box in Zhou Taixiang's hand, Qin Guan felt countless ¥¥ characters flashing in front of his eyes.
The box is divided into four grids and is lined with yellow silk cloth. It contains items in the four grids.
Take out two pairs of white jade bracelets from one of the grids, and Zhou Taixiang said: "Mr. Qin, this is an authentic Hotan mutton fat jade seed jade bracelet, two to four, made by Suzhou jade craftsmen. They are all top-notch products. Each one is worth 300 yuan, and a total of 120 yuan."
Qin Guan took a bracelet and bought it with a warm and smooth feel. It feels really good.
Qin Guan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes."
When Zhou Taixiang saw that Qin Guan recognized this price, he smiled. He did not cheat Qin Guan of this price, of course, nor did he sell it at a low price. It would be enough for Qin Guan to recognize this price now.
Take out a second item from the box.
"Mr. Qin, these are two pairs of four jade bracelets, all of which are the best jade. I don't know how to buy them. Each bracelet costs 15 o'clock, a total of 6 o'clock. What do you think?" Zhou Taixiang said, and handed one of the green jade bracelets to Qin Guan to check.
Qin Guan was surprised that such a good jade bracelet should be full of glass. In the real world, such a bracelet might be sold for about 50,000 to 80,000 yuan, which is more expensive than mutton fat jade bracelets. Why is it twice as cheaper than mutton fat jade bracelets when it comes to Zhou Taixiang?
Qin looked at the jade bracelet. Although she was not as happy as a woman who saw the gems, she also felt that the bracelet was very beautiful.
"Why are jade bracelets cheaper than mutton fat jade?" Qin Guan asked with a puzzled heart.
Zhou Taixiang said: "This jadeite jade was passed down from Dali Kingdom. Although it is also precious, many nobles in our country like it. But how can the price be compared with mutton fat jade?"
The name of Dali Kingdom made Qin Guan feel a little unresponsive. Didn’t jade come from Myanmar?
Then I realized after thinking about it that Myanmar is now just a prefecture in Dali Country, called Yongchang Country. It is indeed true that jadeite comes from Dali Country.
Jade culture has been passed down in China for thousands of years, and there is a saying that a gentleman is like jade. For Chinese people, jade is not just a decoration, but has been given extraordinary significance. In comparison, jade is just a precious gem.
Zhou Taixiang took out a red tip from the third grid, opened it and fell on the palm of his hand, and his palm suddenly turned red.
Four blood-red irregular stones fell on his palms, both big and small, the size of small peanuts, and the size of marbles.
Qin watched and asked tentatively: "Is this, ruby?"
Zhou Taixiang smiled and said, "Young Master Qin has good eyesight. This is a ruby rough stone. As long as it is polished, it can become the best decoration and inlaid on the decoration to add brilliance."
"These rubies were also from Dali Kingdom and are expensive. I used some small ones to decorate, and I left these big ones behind. Last time, Mr. Qin said he wanted to buy gems, I thought of them."
Qin Guan recalled that in addition to the famous jadeite, another famous thing in Myanmar is ruby. Most of the world's top rubies come from Myanmar.
However, the value of rubies is also very different. The main difference is in color. For example, the marble-sized ruby in Zhou Taixiang's hand is estimated to weigh 20 carats, and the color is poor, and the value is only tens of thousands. Good color is worth a lot of money, and it is common to sell tens of millions of dollars.
"How much do these rubies cost?" Qin Guan asked.
"This bag of rubies costs 800 yuan, what does Qin think?"
To be honest, Qin Guan had no idea about the value of this thing. Besides, gems are not easy to price. What you like is priceless, but what you don’t like is just a stone.
Qin Guan also has no ink traces, "Eight hundred slabs, that's OK."
Anyway, it’s just that glass is exchanged for gems, so Qin Guan won’t lose money no matter how much he calculates it.
Zhou Taixiang's smile on his face was even better. It seemed that the business was almost done, and he had a fourth item. Such items were of higher value. He believed that Mr. Qin would like it. He could make another profit from Qin Guan in this business.
Zhou Taixiang put away the other things on the table and said to Qin Guan: "Young Master Qin, wait for a moment, I have a good thing for you to show you, you absolutely like it."
Qin Guan was also puzzled, not knowing what mysterious Lao Zhou was doing.
Zhou Taixiang stood up and closed the window. The room suddenly became dark. Zhou Taixiang returned to the table, reached out to take out a small box from the treasure chest, and then said to Qin Guan: "Young Master Qin, this is a legendary treasure. I wonder if you have seen it before."
As he said that, he opened the small box in his hand.
Suddenly, a foggy green light appeared in the box, a bead with bright light, probably the size of a paintball.
Seeing this light, Qin Guan was startled and immediately stood up and tried to stay away as much as possible.
Qin Guan's action stunned Zhou Taixiang and asked in confusion: "Young Master Qin, what's wrong? This is a night pearl from the Western Regions, priceless."
Qin Guan twitched the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "I don't know if this thing has strong radiation." He knew that things like Night Pearl are generally fluorite minerals, which contain some rare elements, which will cause light under certain specific conditions.
Moreover, some night pearls contain harmful radiation to the human body, so you cannot play with this one casually.
Qin Guan asked, "How much is this night pearl worth."
Zhou Taixiang said: "2ooo, the main reason is that this night pearl is too small. I know that Suzhou Pan Man Wai has a walnut-sized night pearl. It shines brightly at night and can be seen. That is the real treasure. It is regarded as a treasure by Pan Man Wai, and it is taken out to enjoy it at night."
"It is said that the bead is worth tens of thousands of yuan." After Zhou Taixiang said that, he couldn't help but smack his lips.
Qin Guan complained in his heart, hoping that Mr. Pan would not be killed by radiation.
"Does Mr. Qin like this night pearl?" Zhou Taixiang looked at Qin Guan.
