Chapter 19 Young Jade Appraisal Master
It took another half an hour before the remaining two pieces of raw ore were completely extracted. The jadeite inside was all of high quality and quite large, causing others to marvel and comment again.
It was difficult for them to stand there for almost two hours and not feel bored. Instead, they watched with gusto.
It wasn't until all the stones were extracted that they met to have dinner together. While walking, they were still talking about the seven pieces of raw ore, saying that today was really an eye-opener.
It is not uncommon to find good jade from a stone. What is rare is to find seven pieces of good material in a row.
This level is considered top-notch in the entire jade industry, and interested people have begun to use connections to find out who the owner of the material is.
Lan Xiaohe wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked someone to carry the opened jade to Yu Xian, his tone full of admiration.
"My lord's eyesight is really great. Every piece of raw ore you find has its own secrets. I think those masters of jade appraisal are no more than that."
"He's much more powerful."
Lu Yuan murmured in a low voice.
There are two master jade appraisers in his family. Even if they can win eight out of ten times, it is considered good, and they do not always rise sharply.
It’s not like he is just a newbie boss. He was deceived and was given ten thousand taels off.
Except for those top-grade jadeite prices, other prices are relatively unrealistic.
The green jadeite is not in good condition, but it is better because of its size. If you really want to sell it, the price depends on opportunities, such as whether you can meet someone who has taken advantage of you.
This time he could sell it quickly and exchange it for cash. Even if the price was lower, he wouldn't suffer a loss.
In addition, you can make good friends with me, and you can try to see if you can get some special jade appraisal skills from him in the future.
Even if you can't get it out, if you encounter aniseed materials that are difficult to identify at home in the future, you can ask him to help you spot them.
Seeing as it was ten thousand taels cheaper today, could he still refuse to agree?
But Yu Xian just casually glanced at the emeralds that were delivered. These emerald auras were very rare and not worthy of his attention.
"Miss Lan, please ask the master from Baibaolou to come over and estimate their price. I want to package them up and sell them to Brother Lu."
"Okay sir."
Lan Xiaohe's face was already showing signs of fatigue, but he still managed to keep up his spirits.
She just stood there for two hours, plus she kept paying attention to the condition of the stone, and she had to deal with the customers who took the trouble to ask about the price, which had already exhausted her energy.
Yulan was careful and noticed something strange about Lan Xiaohe, but she didn't say anything directly. Instead, she hugged Yu Xian's arm and said coquettishly:
"Sir, I've been walking around with you for so long, and I'm already hungry. Let's eat first."
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said apologetically: "I have forgotten the past for so long, so that's it for now. Miss Lan, go eat and take a rest. Just come back in an hour."
The deeper his cultivation is, the mana in his body can provide most of the energy needed. His demand for food is not strong, but more of a tasting gesture.
But he ignored that the people around him were still mortal and needed to eat.
If it weren't for Yulan's reminder, these people would have to accompany him to spend more time, and they wouldn't dare to complain at all. But he is not an evil capitalist, so there is no need to exploit them like this.
Lan Xiaohe glanced at Yulan gratefully, and then said to Yu Xian:
"Thank you, sir. I will leave now."
…
More than an hour later.
Yu Xian took Yu Lan back lazily after eating and drinking.
In front of the booth, Lan Xiaohe was already waiting. Manager Liu also came, and the bearded Lu Yuan was arguing fiercely with a middle-aged man.
Seeing Yu Xian coming, Manager Liu greeted him respectfully and apologized.
"I offer you my thanks. I was unable to greet you in person this morning, so please forgive me."
Yu Xian smiled and said: "Manager Liu is too polite. Didn't you ask Miss Lan to come over? She served very well. I am very satisfied."
Manager Liu agreed with a smile: "Xiao He is my most capable assistant. It is her honor to be able to serve Yu."
"Okay, no more polite words."
Yu Xian greeted Lu Yuan: "Brother Lu, has the price of my brother's jade been estimated?"
Lu Yuan glared at the middle-aged man and said:
"Just let him say it."
Manager Liu introduced him at the right time: "Master Zeng is the jade master in our building. I heard from Xiao He that you wanted to appraise the jade, so I invited him here."
Master Zeng did not dare to be disrespectful to someone who was so respectful even in charge. He cleared his throat and said:
"Sir, I estimate that these jade stones of yours are worth about 26,700 taels of silver. However, Boss Lu disagrees and says that they are only worth 22,000 taels at most."
Lu Yuan said angrily: "Nowadays, a large amount of jade is flooding into the market, and the price drop is inevitable. The price I paid is already high.
I won't accept it if it's any higher. If you have the ability, you Baobaolou can take it yourself. "
"this?"
Master Zeng looked at Manager Liu in embarrassment.
Manager Liu was also numb. He was just helping to raise the price for the offerings, so why did he set the fire on fire?
As soon as Yu Xian saw this posture, he knew that Manager Liu had used too much force, but he also had good intentions, so he couldn't blame him.
"Don't argue, just calculate it as twenty-two thousand taels of silver."
"Huh? Why are you so generous all of a sudden?"
Lu Yuan looked at Yu Xian suspiciously.
Yu Xian said angrily: "Then twenty-five thousand!"
"No, no, just twenty-two thousand."
Lu Yuan paid the money quickly.
These jade merchants who come to participate in the transaction not only want to sell, but also want to buy, and they have prepared a large amount of cash.
Yu Xian shook off the banknotes in his hand and said to Manager Liu:
"Manager Liu, please bring a few more people to follow me. I want to buy more rocks."
His spiritual sense can see through the raw jade ore, and gambling on stones is no different to picking up money for him.
Although this is a bit high-profile and does not conform to his principles of doing things, for the sake of future wealth and freedom, it is worthwhile to be a little more high-profile.
One hundred thousand taels almost aroused his desire to kill people and seize the treasure, let alone several hundred thousand taels.
"no problem."
Manager Liu apparently heard from Lan Xiaohe about Yu Chongfeng's feat in the morning and immediately called for help.
"This, this, this!! Take them all!"
Yu Xian waved his banknote and started the buying mode. He bought all the raw ores that he was looking forward to in the morning. Not only jade, but also white jade, topaz, ruby, agate, crystal, etc., there were many types.
In this mode of gambling on stones, you can gamble as long as there is a layer of stone covering the outside.
The twenty-two thousand taels of silver notes disappeared like water, and in the end, the remaining two thousand taels of silver notes on his body were subsidized.
Jade is expensive, but stone is cheap.
The raw ore sold by Lu Yuan has been carefully selected, so he dares to sell it for a high price of several hundred taels a piece, but many small businessmen are willing to sell the raw ore for dozens or even a few taels of silver.
Twenty-four thousand taels of silver is a large sum of money.
But this kind of opportunity to pick up money only comes once every once in a while.
And because of such a high-profile shopping spree this time, people will have to blacklist him next time even if they are shameless. No matter how shameless he was, he would just treat the stone he had seen as not for sale and secretly untie it himself.
soon.
The mountains of raw ore attracted the attention of almost the entire venue on the second floor.
Manager Liu's face turned red, and he waved his hand and said:
"Call all the stone-cutting masters in the building and we'll have all these stones removed today."
"Dear friends, don't miss it if you pass by. This is a stone personally selected by our jade appraiser at Baibaolou. We guarantee that every piece will produce jade. If you like it, please put a price on it and the one with the highest price will get it!"
He doesn't even do his job now.
If we go by this morning's earnings estimate, more than 20,000 taels of silver can be turned into at least more than 400,000 taels.
And Yu Gongfeng even planned to give Baibaolou a 10% commission.
This is a lot of money, and at the same time it is a great reputation for Baibao Tower. Even if the owner of the building knows about it, he will not blame him, but will give him a credit.
As for Yu Xian himself, he hid his merit and fame in the discussion of "young treasure appraiser".
