Antiques with golden eyes

What was placed in front of Shen Yu was a square jadeite stone with a window that looked like an old computer monitor.

This is a piece of black black sand, grown in Pagan Laokeng. It is a kind of rough stone that is easy to produce high emerald green.

The window opening is made of ice-green sun, with sufficient water head and no cotton or cracks, making it extremely gambleable.

The camera showed the rough stone, and Shen Yu's voice was calm, "Everyone, please be quiet. The big black stone in front of you is the object of this auction: the rough jade stone, which was handed down from the Qing Dynasty.

"I believe everyone knows the specific origin. It is an antique passed down from Mr. Dong's family and a gift given to Mr. Dong's grandfather by an old jade merchant in the Qing Dynasty.

"Some people may ask, why is there a small hole in this stone, and the hole is still green?"

"It's very simple, it's called opening a window!

"Friends present may ask again, what is this window?

"When the raw jadeite was first mined, it was wrapped in a layer of stone. No one with clairvoyance could see what was inside. So if you want to know if there is jadeite in it, you have to rub or cut it on the raw stone for observation. , this is opening the window.

"Opening a window is equivalent to opening a window on the original stone. You can guess the internal species, water, color, ground, cotton, cracks, ringworm, fog, etc. at the window opening. At the same time, you can also roughly make a rough estimate of the size of the jadeite inside. Basic judgment.

"I'm not ashamed to say that I have some experience in antique appraisal, and I'm pretty good at betting on stones, but after all, I'm not a real expert on jade, and it's a bit boring for me to explain it to you in stand-up comedy on stage, so please Allow me to invite a real expert in stone gambling to the stage. He is the vice president of the Chuzhou Jade Association and one of the largest jade merchants in Chuzhou, Chairman Han Lihan. Everyone applauds and welcomes him."

After Shen Yu finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding. Not to mention, the applause was thunderous.

The six words "Chuzhou Jade Association" are enough to scare people. Those who don't know better would think that President Han is so arrogant.

All of this was within Shen Yu's expectation. The antiques previously auctioned included calligraphy and painting, porcelain, and jade, but everyone was a little tired of aesthetics. Suddenly, a jadeite stone suddenly appeared, and it was an old material passed down from the Qing Dynasty. There is no reason why people are not interested.

So it’s not surprising that the applause was warmer.

Han Li, who was sitting in the back row, was immediately confused, "What??? What is going on?"

Sitting next to Han Li was an old man with white beard and white hair. "Xiao Li, this friend of yours is very interesting. He wants to promote you to become a leader in the Jiangnan jade industry. Hurry up and get on the stage. Don't delay." Such kindness!"

Han Li wakes up like a dream, yes, Brother Shen is so interesting!

After standing up and straightening his clothes, Han Li quickly walked onto the auction stage.

After taking power, Han Li was far less calm than Shen Yu.

His heartbeat is racing, his hands and feet are trembling, and he wants to speak but doesn't know what to say. These are Han Li's true feelings now.

Shen Yu stepped forward and shook hands with Han Li. He turned off the headset and whispered to Han Li: "Brother Li, don't be nervous. Although there are many people in the audience, just pretend that the buyers below are one person. Or just pretend that we are drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion of your store."

After speaking, Shen Yu handed Han Li a microphone.

"President Han, do you agree with what I just said that stone gambling is very risky?" Shen Yu asked with a smile on his face.

Han Li took a deep breath and became visibly calmer, "Of course I agree that investments with certain risks such as stocks, funds, and futures are nothing compared to gambling on stones.

"As you said, stone gambling, especially high-end stone gambling, is a paradise or a hell. Although I am the vice president of the Chuzhou Jade Association, I do not support friends who have just dabbled in stone gambling to gamble on high-end materials. , just spend hundreds or even thousands of yuan to buy a piece of ordinary material and play with it."

Shen Yu: "What about those businesses that have their own chain of jade and jewelry companies?"

Han Li: "They are different, because if they don't gamble, they won't have raw materials!"

Looking at Han Li, Shen Yu showed a puzzled expression, "No raw materials? President Han, although I have made a lot of money betting on stones, I still don't understand why these big merchants want to bet on stones themselves. They can just buy the finished products." Jade is made of clear material, wouldn’t that be safer?”

Han Li knew that Shen Yu was trying his best to talk as much as possible, so he asked such idiotic questions.

Han Li didn't hesitate at all, and immediately answered, "Of course you can buy jadeite, but there is a problem, no one is selling high-end jadeite!

"There is an old saying in the stone gambling shop that it is difficult to cut an inch of jade. Although the rough stone is called jadeite, it does not necessarily contain jadeite in every rough stone. Is there any jadeite in a rough stone? What kind of jadeite is there? The only way is to cut it. I found out later that this was called gambling on stones.

"In fact, most of the woolen materials are cut from ordinary materials. Those who can cut bracelet materials can be said to be one in a thousand, and those who can cut high-end bracelet materials such as Yang Green and Zhengyang Green are even more rare. 1.

"As a result, the raw materials are very expensive. It can be said that if you buy the raw materials, you are basically giving up most of the profits, or even no profits!

"And good raw materials don't mean you can just buy them with money. The high-end materials cut in my shop don't need to be bid by the stone cutter at all. There will be more than a dozen quotations for you right away. As long as you are willing, You can definitely get the cash you are satisfied with within ten minutes. This is the current hot market situation."

Shen Yu asked curiously: "Is it really so difficult to buy Mingming materials?"

Only then did Han Li realize that he co-authored Xiao Shen to promote this old material from the Qing Dynasty. This meant to indirectly tell everyone present that it was difficult to buy jadeite made of plain material. If you want to invest in jadeite, just buy it directly. This piece of wool.

Han Li spread his hands and said, "Of course, some jewelry and jade companies don't have enough raw materials themselves, so how can they sell them to competitors? Just imagine, even if they don't want to sell jewelry, wouldn't it be good to put the jade in a vault and wait for the value to increase? So, Many merchants who want good raw materials can only rely on experience to gamble on stones! When the raw materials are close to being exhausted, they must gamble on stones at any cost."

"Why is this?" Shen Yu asked at the right time.

"Because once you don't have jade raw materials, it means you don't have finished jade jewelry. No finished products? What can you sell to customers? And once customers go to other places, it will be difficult to get them to come back."

In the VIP seat No. 6, Mr. Qin was chewing the apple Pei Yuqin had peeled for her. When she saw this, she smiled and shook her head, "Xiao Qin, this little guy you like is really good." As he grows up, he already knows how to win over people at a young age. The way he sings and sings with this guy from the Han family is really a bit like high-end marketing."

Pei Yuqin looked at Shen Yu on the stage with her almond-shaped eyes, her eyes full of warmth. When she heard Mr. Qin praising Shen Yu, the smile on her face immediately grew.

"Such an outstanding boy, Xiaoqin, you should hurry up. I heard that the granddaughter of President Li of our Chuzhou Collection Association and Xiao Shen grew up together, and the child would not marry unless she was Xiao Shen. President Li and Shen The old relationship is extraordinary. If two people are together, they will become even more intimate.

"In addition, the little princess of the Gu family in Dongjiang also has a deep affection for Xiao Shen. Now I heard that the only descendant of old Dong, the little girl named Yun'er, also has a good impression of Xiao Shen.

"If you don't hurry up and take care, then Xiao Shen will really be abducted by others and you won't even be able to cry."

Pei Yuqin still had a smile on her face, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, Qinan won't do it."

"Yu Lao, you also eat apples."

Pei Yuqin said this to Mr. Qin’s wife, Mr. Yu.

Mr. Yu's name is Yu Dingxing. He is six years older than Mr. Qin. He is already in his eighties. However, he is in good spirits and looks to be in his early sixties and not yet seventy. He is Mr. Qin's old neighbor and Seniors, we are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Yu Lao is a professor in the archeology department of a university and is also very proficient in the appraisal of antiques. He is also the vice president and honorary president of several large city collection associations.

45 years ago, after Mr. Yu's first wife passed away, Mr. Qin resolutely married him regardless of everyone's opposition. The two respected each other as guests and never had any quarrels. Of course, there were occasional quarrels.< /p>

"Tingjun, I think you are just worrying. Although Mr. Shen, the only grandson, is considered excellent, if he is not blind, he must choose Xiaoqin. If he does not choose Xiaoqin, then he must be blind. There are too few virtuous girls like Xiaoqin in this world. If we still have a third son in our family, we must let him marry Xiaoqin at any cost, then we will have a good daughter-in-law."

Tingjun was Mr. Qin's name. She glanced at Mr. Yu expressionlessly, "Xiaoqin is our daughter. Besides, don't you have two daughters-in-law?"

Mr. Yu sighed, "Both the eldest and the second eldest are more aware of money than the other, and they all want to get into the eyes of money. Those two brats are very afraid of their wives. If they were as tough as me, they wouldn't even be afraid of their wives."

I can't control it... Hey, Xiaoqin, where are my apples? Didn't you say you'd peel the apples for me?"

Pei Yuqin's face was full of anger, "How can Qinan be blind if he has good eyes? Even if he doesn't want to marry me and has found someone else as his girlfriend, I don't want him to be blind. Humph, Mr. Yu, I'm angry when you say that. I want to

You'd better peel the apple yourself!"

After saying that, Pei Yuqin put the peeled apple to her mouth and took a bite, then chewed it in an unladylike manner.
