Chapter 482 Rumors About Yu Village
"There are so many anchors shooting videos."
Chen Yi has seen no less than ten photographers along the way. The people they shoot are naturally the anchors who are negotiating prices with the stall owners in front of the stalls.
Let fans from all over the country see how they negotiate prices and what the final transaction price is. Finally, they sell it as a benefit. Only the anchors know how much they earn.
There are both male and female anchors. The male ones show their bargaining skills, and the female ones... The neckline is a little low. I don't know if the stall owners can see it, but the fans can definitely see the scenery that makes people imagine.
Chen Yi walked and stopped, and stayed nearby for a while out of curiosity. He could tell that some anchors were acting, while some anchors were really bargaining, focusing on reality.
"Young man, come and take a look? The stones just came out of the mine are of good quality." An old stall owner smiled and solicited business, hoping to arouse the interest of Chen Yi and the others.
Whether they were colleagues or tourists, they could tell at a glance that there were indeed many people doing jade business in Ruicheng, but after a long time, they could almost get familiar with each other.
Chen Yi glanced politely, smiled and shook his head slightly and continued to walk forward. The stall owner was not disappointed and retracted his gaze.
This stall owner gave him a shrewd impression, and it was probably not easy to chat.
Just now, the other party said that the quality was good... Just listen to it. The people in Bagan are not fools. The appraisal level is not weaker than that in China, and it is even more professional. If you really encounter valuable jadeite rough stones with low gambling, it is impossible to sell them to China easily.
To put it bluntly, the rough stones that can be transported from Bagan to China are 100% professionally screened and appraised. After screening, they are sold to the next buyer, and the next buyer will screen again and sell them to the next buyer...
Those that can be seen by tourists have already passed through countless hands, and the possibility of finding a leak is infinitely close to zero.
How can an outsider or a half-baked insider compare with multiple experts? It's not reliable to think about it.
Try not to lose money and pursue small profits. This is the normal mentality of playing with rough stones. Getting rich overnight does not exist. It's better to buy lottery tickets.
Unless you have a perspective eye.
As he was walking around, he saw that the front was about to end. A young stall owner attracted Chen Yi's attention, not because of his appearance and temperament, but because of the way he bargained with the buyer.
The buyer was a female anchor, with a healthy wheat complexion, wearing a miniskirt and a low-cut dress.
The two were not acting, but really negotiating the price.
"Handsome guy, the water head of this material has just reached the glutinous grade. Selling it to me for 500,000 is too much. Sell it to me for 100,000, and everyone will make money." The female anchor's voice sounded, holding a large bunch of bracelet blanks in her hand.
This kind of thing is sold in packages, not individually.
The young man opposite was wearing old casual clothes and had messy hair. Compared with other stall owners, he was less shrewd and more plain. He looked helpless when he heard the price of 100,000.
It can be seen that it is far from the expected selling price.
There were other people watching nearby. Chen Yi stood by and did not attract attention. He carefully watched the female anchor's action of lighting and judged that this batch of blanks had indeed just reached the glutinous grade. She still had good eyesight.
One hundred thousand is a bit low, two hundred thousand is about right. The closer to two hundred thousand, the less the buyer earns, so of course she will try to lower the price.
The stall owner said: "Let's not talk about it anymore. The last price is three hundred thousand. If you like it, take it. If you don't like it, take it again."
From five hundred thousand to three hundred thousand, there is still sincerity, but the buyer probably won't make any money.
It's just a bargaining technique. Three hundred thousand can't be the final transaction price. It has to be lowered.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you. One hundred and fifty thousand, transfer it immediately." The female anchor said.
The stall owner waved his hand: "Too low, too low, the cost is not even there."
"Add another ten thousand."
The stall owner shook his head: "Two hundred and eighty thousand."
The female anchor: "Don't ask so high. This batch of materials can't exceed twenty. The last one is eighteen."
When the price was finally sold at two hundred and one hundred, the female anchor paid and took the materials away. She seemed to be in a good mood.
There are 20 bracelets in total. Chen Yi estimates that one bracelet can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan after it is finished. Some bracelets with good quality can be sold for about 20,000 yuan. This is for his peers.
Generally speaking, it is a sure win. It depends on how she sells it.
She is very good at lowering the price. He thought that it would take at least 230,000 or 240,000 yuan to complete the transaction.
This has a lot to do with the stall owner's mentality. How much do you want to make? Are you in a hurry to sell? If it were any other stall, 200,000 yuan would be a lot.
10,000 or 20,000 yuan is not a small amount of money for ordinary people.
Having said that, jade is priceless and it is enough to make some money. If you miss this opportunity, who knows when the next buyer will come. Capital turnover is also very important. It is a long-term strategy.
Chen Yi decided to chat with the stall owner. It was just a casual chat. If it doesn't work, he will leave. It was originally a matter of luck.
Seeing that two more customers came just after one customer left, the stall owner smiled more and motioned Chen Yi to look around.
This stall mainly sells rough stones, and there are very few raw stones.
The quality is not very high, at most five figures, but it is still acceptable as a gift.
Take a look first, talk first, if necessary, he doesn't mind spending money to buy some, and arrange for all the relatives, colleagues and friends who can be arranged.
If you don't spend money, people may not be willing to talk to you.
Chen Yi took the small stool handed by the stall owner, and then sat down with Fang Shuyu, slowly studying with the strong light flashlight provided by the stall owner.
He deliberately showed some unprofessional movements to let the stall owner know that he seemed to understand, but not completely, and seemed to understand.
At this time, it is best to wait for the other party to speak first.
In the past two minutes, the stall owner couldn't help it anymore: "Brother, are you here to travel?"
Chen Yi raised his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I just got married. I am not taking my wife out for my honeymoon. I played in Belvedere two days ago. I heard that Ruicheng is the hometown of emeralds, so I came here for a stroll and gained some experience. "
The stall owner took a second look at Fang Shuyu. Such a beautiful woman was quite rare. What was commendable was that her makeup was very light and she was naturally beautiful.
What a blessing, he must be a rich second generation, right?
Thinking of this, the stall owner immediately lost interest in Fang Shuyu. Making money was the most important thing, and it was useless to see too many women who had nothing to do with him.
"You have come to the right place. Our jadeite in Ruicheng is the most cost-effective, and most of the goods across the country come from Ruicheng," the stall owner said.
Chen Yi nodded, continued to look at the blank in his hand, and then asked the price.
Not satisfied with the price, he looked at other products.
"It might be cheaper if we go directly to Bagan to buy it, right?" Chen Yi said casually.
The stall owner smiled and said: "Of course, the goods in Bagan are definitely cheap, but most people can't go there. We just add some transportation costs and won't charge arbitrary prices."
Chen Yi handed the rough product to Fang Shuyu for her to "study" and looked at the stall owner: "Bagan is the birthplace of jade, right?"
Stall owner: "Yes."
Chen Yi: "What about our Ruicheng? Ruicheng has no place of origin. Where did jade originally develop?"
The stall owner didn't want to chat at first, but when he saw that Fang Shuyu couldn't put it down, he seemed to be able to sell it, so he replied: "The stockade in the south of Ruicheng. The goods from long ago came in from there."
Hearing the word "daozhaizi", Chen Yi was sure that the stall owner was not from Ruicheng city, and his accent was a little different from Liang Qidong's.
"Which village?"
"Yuzhai."
"Yuzhai?" Chen Yi picked up a piece of the highest quality blank, "Is it Yuluo Village? I seem to have heard my friends talk about it before."
This is no secret. The stall owner smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's Yuluo Village, now it's called Yuluo Village."
Chen Yi picked up another blank and said, "Is this one with a fifty-fifty ring?"
The size of the bracelet ring is the diameter of the bracelet. Each woman's palm is different, so the size of the goods ring also varies. You need to choose it according to the size. If you can put one or two fingers in after wearing it, it is considered suitable.
Fifty circles is relatively small, and Fang Shuyu's wrist is very thin.
Stall owner: "Yes, fifty."
Chen Yi handed it to Fang Shuyu: "See if you like it?"
If you buy it for Fang Shuyu, you will definitely not choose this quality. It is not in line with the status of the master of the Chen Group. If you really want to buy it, it doesn't matter. Just give it to someone else, such as a friend's wife.
I remember that my new wife's wrist seemed to be very thin and she could wear it, but I don't know if she would suspect him of "nefarious intentions" when she arrived.
How can you give someone else’s wife a bracelet? What do you want to do? ?
While Fang Shuyu was playing with it symbolically, Chen Yi asked: "How is this Yuzhai now? Is it the holy land in the hearts of you Jadeites?"
These words made the stall owner stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly: "Brother, have you read too many novels? The Holy Land is just an ordinary village, but it is relatively close to Bagan, so it has been passed down that it became the birthplace. There is nothing special about it. of."
After saying that, he seemed to have guessed something and asked: "You don't want to have a look, do you? The road is difficult to drive in, and the people in the village are xenophobic."
Chen Yi: "Has no one been there for so many years?"
Stall owner: "My home is not very far from Yuzhai, but I have never been there. I heard from people of the older generation that there used to be some people who wanted to go to Yuzhai to try their luck. Maybe they could pick up jade on the road."
Chen Yi was surprised: "So exaggerated?"
The stall owner waved his hand: "It's just a rumor. I really think jadeite is just cabbage."
Chen Yi has a different view.
It is groundless. Since the rumors are there, there is a high probability that there is fact. If Yuluo Village is really the birthplace of domestic jade, then it is still possible to occasionally pick up a piece in and outside the village.
Over in Bagan, there are some places where jadeite is really everywhere, and no one cares about it. If you pick it up, you can really sell it for money.
The deceased Tu Xiangnan appeared nearby many times. Was his purpose to pick up jade?
It seems unlikely. Tu Xiangnan is in the hotel business and has nothing to do with the jade industry. Besides, with his wealth, he can buy it directly, so why waste time pursuing the illusory probability of luck.
Unless he had picked it up before, or the older generation told him that he had picked it up, and the quality was extremely high enough to make him tempted.
If Chen Zhiyao told him that stones worth tens of millions or billions could be picked up in a certain village, he would also have the urge to go for a walk, not to mention other people. Who would have trouble with money? Most people buy lottery tickets. There are people out there, let alone an unprofitable transaction with detailed clues.
If Tu Xiangnan really entered Yuluo Village, is his death related to Yuluo Village?
Also, have you been to the other deceased people? Just because I haven’t found it yet doesn’t mean I haven’t been there.
If you have been there, then a new direction of investigation is coming.
Yuluo Village is a place that really needs to be visited.
Chen Yi wanted to know more about it, but the stall owner didn't know much, just hearsay, so he would wait until he entered the town tomorrow to see more. It was better to ask more questions than to go in without a clue.
Han Yuedong was indeed a little anxious at the time, and that was understandable. How could he not be excited about finally finding a new clue?
"What's the price?" Chen Yi asked Fang Shuyu about the bracelet in his hand, ready to buy it.
The stall owner thought for two seconds: "Two hundred thousand."
The price was just a random one, Chen Yi looked at him without saying anything.
The stall owner smiled: "Ask a price, how much can you see? Give me the money and I'll sell it!"
Chen Yi: "Twenty thousand."
This time it was the stall owner's turn to look at Chen Yi without saying anything. Anyway, both parties were speechless at some point.
The jade industry has always been like this.
Chen Yi "thanked" the stall owner for providing information for his investigation, but it didn't mean he was willing to be a grudge.
After another long struggle, the rough material was finally sold for fifty thousand yuan. Looking at the stall owner's pretended distressed look, and saying that he was losing money to open the business, Chen Yi knew that the profit had reached the other party's psychological expectation.
From the rough bracelet to the finished bracelet, the final processing is required, and the processing fee is about one hundred yuan. We will talk about it when we leave Ruicheng.
Originally, he really wanted to give it to an outsider. If he bought it for Fang Shuyu, it would cost more than six figures, but Fang Shuyu seemed to really like this bracelet. She was still holding it in her hand and looking at it far away from the stall, with joy in her eyes.
Fang Shuyu has never pursued actual value, as long as it is pleasing to the eye.
Chen Yi felt... if he dared to say that he would give it to other women at this moment, even if it was a friend's wife, Fang Shuyu's face would definitely be quite ugly.
"Forget it, don't make trouble."
Chen Yi gave up this idea, then left the night market and came to the antique market next to it.
This is not the largest antique market in Ruicheng. At most, it is an antique street, where all the stalls are set up in the open air. It is estimated that it was formed in the early years to take advantage of the popularity of the raw stone market.
After visiting the raw stone market, tourists will see that there is an antique street nearby. Out of curiosity, they will also go to see it. If they go to see it, they may spend money.
There is a big difference between the antique street in Ruicheng and Jiangcheng. Most of the antiques sold in Jiangcheng are messy antiques, while most of the jade sold in Ruicheng is jade.
Jade is jade, but jade is not necessarily jade.
Jade can also be new or old, which can be seen from details such as patina and lumps, which also tests the eyesight of the appraiser.
Chen Yi was naturally not interested in these things. He wanted to see if there were any ancient books or bamboo slips for sale, but after walking around, he found nothing and gave up.
On the other hand, Lin Chen also took a fancy to a pendant and said it was for his mother. Chen Yi was very suspicious and hinted that if he wanted to give it to a young girl, a bracelet would be the best. If he didn't have enough money, he could borrow it.
Lin Chen believed in Chen Yi very much. After thinking about it, he gave up, revealing that the person he wanted to give it to was definitely not his mother.
Fang Shuyu was immediately dissatisfied and pulled Lin Chen to a distant place to chat alone. She scolded him for being unfilial and always thinking about the girl and not caring about her mother, right?
Chen Yi didn't get involved. This was normal. It didn't rise to the level of filial piety. At Lin Chen's age, he was just the farthest away from his parents. He was "hanging out" outside every day. Everyone was the same.
It would be much better after getting married.
