Chapter 513 Where An Yinmu Went
The next morning, Chen Yi was not in a hurry and took Fang Shuyu to Ruicheng Jade Street.
The blank I bought at the Jade Night Market last time has not been processed yet. Now that my task is over, of course I have to process it before leaving.
It’s not expensive either. It costs 100 yuan for high-quality processing and 80 yuan for ordinary processing.
Chen Yi also couldn't figure out how bracelet processing could be divided into high-quality products and ordinary ones, and the price difference was only twenty yuan.
I’ve bought thousands of bracelets, but I’m still short of these twenty? Will anyone really choose ordinary processing to save twenty?
Existence is reasonable, there must be.
The more common bar shapes are round bars, positive circles and imperial concubines. Fang Shuyu likes round bars.
The inner and outer rings of the round bracelet are perfect circles, and the bars are also round, which symbolizes completeness and perfection. The main reason is that the shape is beautiful. This kind of bracelet is extremely classic and suitable for all ages.
They will also process the bracelet when they are new. It is a worthwhile trip, and they will not delay the investigation and shopping.
After finishing their work, a few people passed by the mid-to-high-end Jade Shopping Mall. They had nothing to do and were not in a hurry, so they walked in and took a look.
There are very few tourists in the mid-to-high-end jade shopping mall. Most of them are men. Most of them are wearing short-sleeved shorts and slippers. They are obviously insiders.
The circulation rate of jade in the industry is also very high. If you sell it to me, I will sell it to you. I don’t know how much money it will add to the customer’s hands.
"Brother Dou Yinquan? I've seen him a lot these days, so he's really here." Qin Fei saw a stall owner and said.
Lin Chen and others also looked over and said they had seen it before.
It has become a habit to watch short videos before going to bed. They are in Ruicheng, Yunzhou, and have searched for jade information. Big data will naturally push relevant bloggers first.
This brother Quan is quite popular on the Internet. He specializes in making mid-to-high-end jade bracelets. In the Internet era, he has customers all over the country and hundreds of thousands of fans.
Chen Yi didn't know him. During this period, his mind was full of murder cases and he had no time to check his mobile phone.
While talking, several people walked over. Seeing the guests, Brother Quan quickly sat up from the recliner and showed a professional smile.
He didn't speak.
There are very few people selling jade in jade shopping malls who actively solicit business. Everyone just looks at it, and those who like it will naturally ask for the price. If the final price meets the psychological expectations of both parties, the transaction can be completed immediately.
"Is it Brother Quan?" Qin Fei asked after looking at it for a while.
Brother Quan smiled and nodded: "Yes, a fan?"
"Uh." Qin Fei didn't know how to answer, "That's right. I've seen you. The stuff is a bit high-end and I can't afford it."
Brother Quan didn't care and smiled broadly: "If you have nothing to do, just take a look. Maybe you can afford it in the future?"
Harmony brings wealth, he is good at doing business, and he also wishes for wealth.
What he said is correct. If you can't afford it now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to afford it in the future. You must maintain the same attitude towards customers and potential customers, so that you can do it for a long time.
If one out of a hundred customers who can't afford it suddenly turns around, it's a profit of tens of thousands.
"I wish you good luck." Qin Fei had a good impression of Brother Quan and picked up a bracelet, "How can I sell this?"
Brother Quan: "The price is two hundred."
Qin Fei knew it was followed by ten thousand words, so he quickly put it down.
Chen Yi said that with an asking price of two million, it is estimated that the final sale will be between 300,000 and 600,000. Even if it is 300,000, it is not something he can afford, and he will have to go without food or drink for two or three years.
"This is beautiful. How much does this cost?" Lin Chen pointed at one of the high-ice glass bracelets and asked, but did not dare to take it.
Chen Yi also reminded that if you don’t buy it, try not to touch a bracelet that is too high-end. There is a possibility of breaking it. Although the probability is very low, there is no need to take the risk.
Brother Quan looked over and answered patiently: "The asking price is five hundred, and it has just been collected. You and the seller are in front of each other."
The seed water of this bracelet is similar to the one on Jiang Yanyan's hand, but the color is inferior. Not to mention full color, there is no floating color, and there is obvious cotton inside.
That's why the offer was five million.
Any kind of pretty colors are more expensive, but they are already very rare.
Fang Shuyu was the only woman present. She was not interested in the glass bracelet. She only glanced at it and then looked away.
As for bracelets, it still depends on personal preference.
After scanning around, she picked up an ice spring colored bracelet. The color was very beautiful. The smaller half was purple, the other half was green, and the rest was gradually white.
It must be very pleasing to see her eyes light up.
Chen Yi was very wealthy and asked the price directly.
Facing Chen Yi, Brother Quan paid a lot of attention. Those who could spend tens or even millions to buy bracelets were not ordinary customers. His eyesight had been trained very hard over the years.
This young man's confidence in wealth radiates naturally from the inside out and cannot be faked.
"The price is five hundred," Brother Quan said.
This bracelet is not of the glass variety, but it is better in color, so the asking price is the same as that of the glass bracelet.
Chen Yi estimated that it would take more than 1.5 million to win, and less than 2 million, based on the market price.
If you like it, buy it.
If Chen Zhiyao knew that Chen Yi was not even willing to give two million to his daughter-in-law, he would definitely scold him.
Fang Shuyu looked at Chen Yi. He was about to say that he was just asking casually, but Chen Yi stopped him and whispered that it might be useful for gatherings on various occasions in the future. Let's buy slowly and buy what we like, no need to be deliberate.
Naturally, the Chen family's network of connections is not that of ordinary people. Although Fang Shuyu would not be looked down upon for wearing a bracelet worth tens of thousands, it was still a bit strange. Those who didn't know better thought that the Chen family's daughter-in-law was being left out.
Fang Shuyu heard that it made sense, stopped talking, and continued to look at the bracelet in his hand. He really liked it.
"Can we negotiate for less than 100?" Chen Yi asked.
Hearing this, Brother Quan smiled and waved his hands: "We can't talk about it, we can't talk about it. How can we talk about this kind of quality for less than 100 yuan?"
One sentence will tell you whether you are an expert or not, and the business is going well. After saying this, Brother Quan took out a disposable cup and poured water, and asked a few people to sit down and chat slowly. There was no rush, and there was plenty of time.
Chen Yi took out his cell phone and dialed a number, then handed it to Brother Quan to see.
120.
The price of materials worth millions is opaque, and the unspoken rules of the industry are only known to buyers and sellers, and cannot be spread to outsiders. Otherwise, the next buyer will find out about the cost and will desperately lower the price.
Therefore, silent communication is best to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Brother Quan took one look and shook his head: "No, no, we have to go higher."
Chen Yi shot 150 and directly added 30.
Brother Quan still shook his head.
Chen Yi put down his cell phone and said helplessly: "Brother Quan, I admit that this material is indeed very good and rare, but the market price there will definitely not be higher than 2, you should know that."
Brother Quan thought for a moment and said, "Nearly two."
Seeing this, Chen Yi picked up the phone again, dialed 180, and added 30, which was very sincere.
This time it was almost done. You could see Brother Quan beginning to hesitate. Although the time was short, Chen Yi grasped it keenly.
It must have exceeded the cost, and he couldn't tell whether it met his psychological expectations.
"If you add more, you're blocking my capital." Brother Quan was very embarrassed.
The person who bought it was not good at selling it, not to mention that the other party was the boss who had been dealing in mid-to-high-end jadeite for many years. After saying this, Chen Yi knew that Moji Moji could be sold.
Brother Quan said that it was nearly two years old, and he hesitated when he offered the price of one hundred and eighty, which meant that he wanted to sell it for more than one hundred and ninety, but the cost was below one hundred and eighty.
This is easy to handle.
When buying mid-to-high-end jade, it's all about psychology and reading micro-expressions. Brother Quan is no match for this.
"That's it." Chen Yi put away his mobile phone and expressed through actions that he would not bid any more.
There are not many customers who can spend 1.8 million to buy a bracelet. If the other party refuses, I don't know when the next customer will wait.
Brother Quan hesitated.
"Sell it? If not, I'm leaving. I was just stopping by to have a look." Chen Yi stood up.
Brother Quan immediately raised his head, raised his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, sit down. Why are you in a hurry? Come here and drink some water."
Chen Yi didn't move.
Brother Quan scratched his head, gritted his teeth and said, "One more bite! You're really holding me back."
At this stage, no matter how much you add, you will make money, and it will be difficult for both parties to make concessions.
Chen Yi didn't want to waste time and stretched out two fingers: "Add this number."
For a million-level jadeite, the price increase of 20,000 yuan per piece is not much, and it is within the normal range.
Brother Quan immediately made the decision after seeing it: "Deal!"
He smiled happily. He didn't know how much he could earn from this business. Chen Yi estimated that it would be around 50,000, not more than 100,000.
After transferring the money and paying, the bracelet belonged to Fang Shuyu.
Qin Fei and others were watching from the side, and bargaining was very interesting. Of course they knew how rich the Chen family was, and they were not surprised that Chen Yi temporarily paid out nearly two million.
After the business was done, the few people left in no hurry and started chatting with the boss. They didn't hide anything about their profession when they talked about it. Only then did Brother Quan realize that the group of people in front of him were actually policemen.
But the accent is obviously not from Ruicheng.
Brother Quan didn't ask any more questions. He knew very well what to say and what not to say, but he was definitely doubtful about Chen Yihao spending millions to buy a bracelet.
"The family has conditions." Chen Yi said with a smile.
Quan Gexin seems to be a second-generation rich man. Being able to openly reveal his identity as a police officer shows that he has a magnanimous heart. He cannot come from a shady background. There is no such thing as such stupidity.
"The police often come to our place, especially on holidays. Officer Chen should understand why." Brother Quan said with a smile.
Chen Yi nodded: "I understand, jade is fragile, and many tourists don't understand the rules."
There are only two possibilities for calling the police, either you don't buy it after a counter-offer, or you accidentally damaged it.
After chatting for a while, a partner came to the stall and handed a bag of blank new materials to Brother Quan. Brother Quan skillfully locked it into the safe.
Seeing this, Ji Xin couldn't help but ask: "Boss, do you usually put all the bracelets in the safe after get off work?"
Brother Quan nodded: "Yes."
When was it new: "No one has stolen it, right? These goods must not be worth tens of millions."
Brother Quan smiled and said: "Of course it wasn't possible before, but now the security is better. We are a key protection area against theft and robbery. The security system is activated after closing, and there is a 24-hour duty station near the police station. Who dares to steal."
"Besides, safes are all high-end and quite expensive. They can't be opened without a password and a key, even by professional locksmiths."
When did you say oh? In this case, only an idiot would dare to think wrongly, and everyone would be caught.
"It sounds safe. You can never throw it away." Qin Fei said.
This sentence made Brother Quan look at Qin Fei, hesitate a little, and whispered: "It's not so absolute, I'm sorry."
It might be that Chen Yigang bought a two million bracelet, or it might be the identity of the other policeman. Brother Quan talked too much and revealed what he didn't want to say.
"Thrown it?" Qin Fei was surprised, "When? Can such strict anti-theft measures be thrown away?"
Brother Quan said: "I also heard that it should be true. At another jade stall, there was... for many years, five or six years? Seven or eight years? About three million bracelets were lost at that time. Although at that time, It’s not as strict as it is now, but it’s still hard to steal things.”
Qin Fei: "No one was caught?"
Brother Quan smiled and said, "How can you catch him if you don't call the police?"
Qin Fei was stunned: "Three million but you didn't call the police?"
Brother Quan shook his head: "I don't know what happened, anyway, no one called the police, and then the man quit and left Ruicheng."
Qin Fei was thoughtful and whispered to himself: "If you don't call the police, it's very likely that he came from an illegal background. He was able to enter the jade mall with strict security and open the safe and get away unscathed, which shows that he has superb skills..."
He subconsciously looked at Chen Yi.
He Xin also thought of it and looked at Chen Yi as well.
Could this be done by An Yinmu? He specializes in stealing people with problems, and his skills are not low. It happened in Ruicheng, and the characteristics are completely consistent.
But Brother Quan just heard it from hearsay, and no one has called the police for so many years, so it is impossible to find useful clues.
There are so many cases that have been reported to the police, but there is no clue, not to mention those that have not been filed for investigation.
Chen Yi naturally thought of An Yinmu immediately, and he is still very suspicious.
It seems that the other party has committed more cases than we know about now. Today we just happened to hear about one case, and there are probably more that we haven't heard about.
If the victim loses money or property that is not obtained in a legitimate way, it is normal for him not to call the police, otherwise he may get himself involved. Even if the stolen property is found, it may not belong to him. The pros and cons are very obvious.
"Brother Quan, do you know or have heard of An Yinmu?" Since the topic has come to this point, Chen Yi asked casually.
"An Yinmu?" Brother Quan shook his head, "I don't know him, I haven't heard of him."
It seems that there is no such name in his memory.
"Okay, thank you, we should go too."
Chen Yi stood up and prepared to leave. Just after taking two steps, Brother Quan's voice came.
"I know a man named Amu."
Chen Yi paused and turned around and said, "Is he a man?"
Brother Quan: "A man."
Chen Yi: "What do you do?"
Brother Quan: "He should be dealing in jade. I have negotiated several deals."
Jade?
Chen Yi thought it might just be a coincidence, but he still asked one more question: "Do you have a photo?"
Quan Ge: "No."
Chen Yi returned and asked He Shixin to find the photo left by An Yinmu in the welfare home. The age range was in the teens. If they were the same person, they should be able to tell, or at least they would feel alike.
Quan Ge looked carefully and could not give a definite answer: "It seems... yes, who is this? Has he committed a crime?"
He was just curious and not worried. Not knowing did not constitute selling stolen goods.
Chen Yi did not answer and asked: "When was the last time you saw him?"
Quan Ge thought for a while and said: "That must have been two years ago. He should have gone abroad. I remember he said so."
Chen Yi: "Going abroad? Are you close?"
"No, I only met three or four times in total." Quan Ge explained, "At that time, a customer asked me to buy high ice violets, but unfortunately I didn't have any in stock, so I asked some friends to help keep an eye out. I also told Amu, and he said he would go abroad and never come back."
Chen Yi: "Which country?"
Quan Ge: "Bagan."
