Chapter 141: Twin Flowers (64)
Yun Tinglan shook her head and said, "I can't see it. Boss, stop bidding and give me a realistic price."
The boss handed Yun Tinglan a bottle of ice water, but before it reached her hand, a big, bony hand reached out from the side and took it away.
Yun Tinglan looked at the room-temperature mineral water that Huo Zhensheng handed to her, lowered her eyes unnaturally, and just held it in her hand without drinking it.
The boss just thought that people thought his mineral water was cheap. His mineral water at two yuan a bottle was indeed incomparable to other people's luxury water that cost over a hundred yuan.
But I didn't take it to heart. In this line of work, they come into contact with all kinds of customers, so this is really not a big deal.
He continued, "Sister, I won't lie to you. Your price doesn't even cover my cost. If you really want to buy it, just bid up. This is white rock sand from Mu'na. It's good quality with a base color and old blue water." He pointed at the material and said, "You can see that the sand has fallen off in several places. The texture is black under natural light. The quality is excellent, no need to exaggerate."
"And generally, we won't sell this kind of new and high-quality goods immediately. We will store them for a year or two, and only consider selling them after the price goes up and recovers the cost. In other words, we will only be willing to negotiate the price with you if the girl likes us."
He won't lose money, but he won't make much profit either, so if the price is not ideal, he won't consider selling it.
Yun Tinglan pointed at the beautiful stained glass window and said, "I really can't see it. This is obviously a rogue window. The water and color have been adjusted. The expert who opened the window avoided all the fine cracks. If you change it to a flat window, the whole surface will be full of small cracks, and it is the place with the best water and color. It is very fatal and affects the value.
At least you can't buy bracelets here, you can only buy pendants, or ask a master to carve to avoid those fine cracks, or you can only buy small egg-shaped beads. As for whether there are cracks inside, whether there is cotton, and how much meat there is, you have to gamble. If the price is too high, the risk is too great."
Yun Tinglan naturally knew that there was no risk, but she would not be stupid enough to raise the price on her own initiative.
The boss sighed, he knew all this, he just suffered a loss because of this rogue window. They were old friends who had cooperated for many years, but he just watched the video and asked them to ship the goods.
It cannot be said that he lost money, but it was still a little far from the big bargain he expected.
Yun Tinglan did not force it, as the boss would definitely not be able to sell such high-quality goods in a short time.
Others who are not experts rarely play with these stones worth millions because they don’t understand them and therefore don’t dare to do so.
Experts will take the risks into consideration and will only push the price down. It will never be much higher than hers.
Unless the boss cuts it directly, her price is the ceiling.
Later, she arranged for some more people to come and check out the goods and lower the boss's expectations. When she came again, she estimated that she could get the goods for around three million.
Seeing them turning around to leave, the proprietress asked hurriedly: "Do you want that piece of black sand from Mowanji?"
Yun Tinglan turned around and said, "Two hundred thousand, are you selling it?"
Lady boss: "..." No price increase at all???
"Leave it to you! Let's just consider it as making friends." The boss made the decision. Yun Tinglan put the small stone into her bag and handed it to Sister Zhou, and transferred the money to the boss.
There was no surprise afterwards, it was not that there were no high-quality goods, but they were not cost-effective. She then went to Yudu Garden, a street full of dangerous goods.
The raw stones from Wei look gray, but the various loose stones that have been carved and processed are still very beautiful.
Yun Tinglan bought ten long strings of violets with 6mm small beads, which were in pretty good condition.
At first glance, you can't tell the difference between the Wei material and the Burmese material.
Even if you take it for appraisal, the dangerous material is still A-grade jadeite, the physical composition is the same. Appraisal agencies do not identify the origin, it all depends on the buyer's experience and vision.
But if you compare a string of Burmese and Weiyan materials of the same quality, the difference becomes very obvious.
Burmese material looks more beautiful, with better fluorescent effects, which is what is called bling.
But the Wei material is not like that. It looks okay when viewed alone, but when compared, you will find that its color is dull and dark.
But its biggest advantage is that it is very affordable. The Wei material of the same price is more beautiful than the Burmese material.
Without considering the collection value, if you simply think it is natural, harmless and beautiful, buying hazardous materials is also a good choice.
Nowadays, the price of high-quality dangerous goods on the market is also rising. Especially as the supply of Burmese goods decreases, many unscrupulous merchants will sell dangerous goods as Burmese goods.
The purple jade beads of grade 5, which had one hundred beads each, only cost four thousand each. Yun Tinglan took ten and paid thirty-two thousand.
The blue water bracelet of card 9.7 was 12 yuan each, and she bought five more. The green bracelet of card was yuan each, and she also bought five more.
Gave the boss 19,000.
When the lotus leaf fell to the ground, she made a video call to Yun Tinglan. Seeing the cheap and good quality hazardous materials, she cried out that it was a pity and asked Yun Tinglan to help her purchase a batch.
She wants to give benefits to the people in the studio and her fans.
Specifically asked for dangerous material beads.
She chose the 4.7-caliber beads in light blue, dark blue and green tones from the pictures that Yun Tinglan took of her.
One thousand yuan each, and I ordered twenty lotus leaves.
Various silver-inlaid pendants in different shapes, such as green leaves, Buddha statues, gourds, beans, etc., have their colors well-blended by padding with tin foil and hollowing out the backs.
At first glance, it looks almost the same as the Ice Green Burmese material.
A small pendant of two or three centimeters costs just over three hundred yuan. If it is made of Burmese material, you have to add two zeros at the end.
Yun Tinglan picked a bag of fifty.
Yun Tinglan will take out a part of these dangerous materials and prepare to hold a lucky draw during the grand opening of Yunbaozhai.
She bought two large bags of six-inch-sized beads with a refreshing light green and white color, a thousand of which she planned to make into beads to give back to her fans.
Of course, she also did not forget to buy herself a few sets of green jewelry, and in the blink of an eye, nearly 100,000 yuan was gone.
I made an appointment with the old man yesterday to check out the goods today. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yun Tinglan staggered to the market.
The old man was arranging goods. When he saw her, he happily took out three stones, one big and two small.
The quality is excellent, two types of water materials and one color material.
The largest piece is an old and sticky material with very uniform particles on the skin. When light is turned on at the sand-free area, spring colors are diffused. The purple color at the window is very rich. The quality is not too high, and the overall texture is glutinous and delicate.
Only places with high quality can achieve glutinous ice.
There is no way, purple is too demanding on the water quality.
But it's big enough.
Lingxi gave the correct answer: 38 kilograms. Excluding the skin and various dirty cracks, there were 22 kilograms.
The other two pieces are small fine products, high quality goods.
One piece is from Mu Na material, with white skin and white fog, but the fog layer is very uniform, and there is a light base color in the places where the sand has fallen off. It is the size of a palm, and the stone shape is very good, flat and has a bracelet position.
Lingxi Road: [The base color is sky blue, the base makeup is clean, it reaches high ice quality, the species is old enough, there is no crack, no cotton, the finished product can be replanted, and it will increase greatly within 200,000.]
The other is the window color material from Mu Na, which has a bright and spicy color under the light. Although it is small and only weighs 230 grams, it has thin skin and a lot of flesh. Unfortunately, it has many cracks, but the color is good.
What's even more rare is that its water quality is also good, reaching the egg-shaped level. Although it is the smallest, it is the most valuable!
"Old man, you are a very capable person!" Yun Tinglan gave a thumbs up. "I'll eat all three. Please give me a fair price."
"This one from Huika is 68, the one from Muna is 36, and the one for color is 50. They are all real prices." The old man was counting the walnuts in his hand.
Yun Tinglan: “…”
Blame her! She shouldn't have shown that she wanted it. Business is business. There is no business without fraud. She still has a lot to learn.
Special Assistant Liu looked at the big rock with a twitching mouth, then looked at his boss's laissez-faire attitude and resigned himself to his fate by picking up his phone to call for help.
"Grandpa, let's look at them one by one." Yun Tinglan pointed to the cracks on the stone and the inconspicuous moss next to it, and said bluntly, "Grandpa, this piece was bought by your family, and they thought it was a good piece of land, but it got dirty here, so they put it aside."
Old Master Wu paused. Wasn't that the stone that his daughter had bid for at the public auction? When he got back and took one look, he knew there must be something dirty in it. He stopped the loss in time and didn't let it be cut, otherwise it would have collapsed.
"Girl, I'm not lying to you, this piece is on the public auction, the price is 68."
Then I can't cover for you, right?
Yun Tinglan shook her head, "I can't see it." This price is a loss-making deal, what is she looking for? "I only saw 280,000. You didn't cut it. You must know that according to your purchase price, it will collapse if you cut it."
This is not nonsense!
The old man couldn't refute it, he just said with a pained face: "Twenty-eight is too low, go higher, I'll pay back the price."
"Old man, it's normal to want to get your money back, but with your wealth, do you still need this? If you step on the accelerator of your Porsche a few times less, the money will come out."
The old man replied seriously: "It's just that the gas is too expensive, so I want to earn some money for gas."
Yun Tinglan stared at the car keys on the old man's stall, and said inexplicably, "Wouldn't it be better for you to save gas money if you didn't come?"
The old man refused without hesitation, "No, it's too boring at home, it's not as lively as this."
The big brother next to him twitched his mouth and looked at the sky with worry. He didn't want to join in the fun, but he had no money! All his capital was tied up in these stones. If he didn't sell them, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.
Yun Tinglan picked up the flat stone again and said, "This piece of Mu Na material is good in every way except that it is too small and has cracks. You need to rely on luck to make a bracelet. If you are lucky, it is worth 36. If you are not lucky, it is only worth a few hundred thousand. The highest I can give you is 16."
"I like the color material, but there are too many cracks. I can't see 50, but 30 is fine. I still want to try to see if there is a pigeon egg inside."
The old man's beard trembled, "No, like this, three 850,000, you take them all."
Can't give it.
"Let's both take a step back and go with each other. 75. Please give me some profit margin."
"Grandpa, that's a lot, enough for your gas money for a month." The boss next door looked envious.
"Go away, go and play somewhere else." The old man impatiently drove the girl away. In fact, he was a little shaken in his heart, but he still wanted to raise the price a bit. "Girl, add a little more so that I can get my money back." If his daughter had the same vision as this girl, he would not object to her playing with stones.
Really, it would be great if we could just do the finished product processing honestly.
If you don't listen to advice and insist on playing, you'll be a waste of money!
If he doesn't make it up to her, who will fill the hole she has left?
If there is no harmony in the family, everything will fail!
"Eight hundred thousand, eight hundred thousand, you take it all!"
Yun Tinglan estimated their value and added a price, "780,000. This number is auspicious. We can make the deal."
"Forget it, forget it, I'll give it to you. Come often in the future!" The old man sighed. His daughter had more stones to block the way.
"Of course, your products are good and of high quality. I will definitely come here often." It's just a compliment, but it doesn't cost any money.
"Sister, my new goods are not bad. Look at this piece of black chicken material. It can be made into a jingle bracelet. This piece is only ten thousand. You can easily make ten of them. For the other scraps, you can ask a designer to make them into ink and color works, which are also very beautiful." The elder brother next to her saw that Yun Tinglan spent 78 without blinking an eye, and his eyes flashed slightly. What a rich person!
It's not impossible. Jingle bracelets are indeed popular now, and she also uses them in her Jiangnan series, but the price is not good.
"If you sell it for 5,000, I'll buy it."
My brother has a toothache. This girl doesn't look like someone who is short of money. She has a rich young master by her side. Why is she so stingy? Isn't she afraid that the young master will look down on her?
"Eight thousand."
Can’t add it, sell it if you want.
"Okay, I'll give it to you!" He is really good at bargaining. It's better if he makes less money. He can earn a thousand or eight hundred yuan for food by cutting the stones himself, so it's not a day's work in vain.
I have to follow the old man closely next time. Forget about him, he has poor vision.
Yun Tinglan asked Sister Zhou to deliver these to Master Xu and produce a batch of finished products first. Yunbaozhai was about to open, so more stock was needed.
Then she went to see Huo Zhensheng, "Brother, do you want to go back with us?" There were many people here, and rubbing shoulders was inevitable. She was worried that the young master would not be feeling well.
Huo Zhensheng said casually: "Let's take another look, this place is quite interesting."
Special Assistant Liu chuckled in his heart.
Article 3 of the Assistant Code of Conduct, in bold red font: The boss likes quietness, no loud noises allowed.
Even though these are his bread and butter, he still has to complain about their hypocrisy. It's shit!
All right, it doesn't matter if he's more than that. The young master just wants to experience the life of an ordinary person.
After walking around for a while, Yun Tinglan stopped in front of a street stall and asked, "Sister, how much is this black jadeite?"
Most people who see this material mistakenly think it is black chicken material. There are some who can recognize it as black jadeite at first sight, but they are very few.
The fat lady paused as she fanned herself with a palm leaf fan. "Two hundred thousand, pure cotton-free, a little over two kilograms, with room for a bracelet."
Yun Tinglan squatted down and picked it up to look at it. It was jet black in color, with a strong luster, no white spots, a little floating cotton, and cracks.
When the lights are turned on, the inside glows with a rich, bright green color with a hint of blue, making it look very mysterious and noble.
The quality is pretty good.
When seeing it, Yun Tinglan's first reaction was that it was very suitable for Huo Zhensheng.
From my impression, this person prefers black, white and gray, whether his clothes are casual suits or formal wear, and even the interior decoration of his office is mostly black.
Other colors are rarely seen.
Yun Tinglan stole a glance at him, thinking to herself, if he tried the red of camellia, maybe it would be another kind of charm?
If you think about it carefully, his appearance is quite gorgeous in both his past and present life. However, because his methods in business are too cold and harsh, his expression is always indifferent when interacting with others, giving people a cold and gloomy feeling.
People subconsciously ignore his appearance.
In fact, he is also a very handsome man!
Of course, no one dares to even think about it.
In my previous life, all the people I coveted had a miserable ending.
In this life, he gave her a stronger sense of oppression. Although she didn't feel it deeply, she could sense the resentful look in Assistant Liu's eyes every time he looked at her.
cough cough...
It went astray. It went astray.
Yun Tinglan collected her thoughts and used a flashlight to carefully examine the black jadeite, finding faults and lowering the price: "The shape of the stone is relatively straight but there is no bracelet position. There are too many cracks, so it can only be made into a small egg-shaped stone. You have to be lucky to make a stone with nothing to lose. I won't see it for 200,000, but 80,000 is fine."
"Eighty thousand? No, I don't have that much. You can add a little more. Look at the glossiness. It's still full green without any other colors. Any egg-shaped one will cost a small amount of ten thousand."
Yun Tinglan and her elder sister argued for a long time and finally bought it for 90,000 yuan.
Yuntinglan is walking back to Peach Blossom Island in the twilight, with the setting sun and the starry sky embracing each other affectionately on the lake, forming a perfect harmony of color.
She suddenly remembered the sunset-colored padparadscha and was about to ask Sister Zhou to help her get the painting supplies when Huo Zhensheng handed her the tablet.
Yun Tinglan was stunned for a moment, and without caring about anything else, she just sat in the garden, eager to express the thoughts in her mind.
The wreath around the neck floats in light and shadow, and the sunset orange of the padparadscha is combined with the white Hetian jade petals to create the artistic conception of Butterfly Love Flower in the form of watercolor.
It is dotted with high diamonds, just like the moment when dusk and starry night collide, and at the same time it jumps with warm power.
Fashion, elegance and mystery coexist.
That was the theme she wanted.
"hungry?"
"Ah? Oh." Yun Tinglan looked up and met a pair of smiling eyes, which were even brighter than the stars in the sky, sparkling and sparkling, and so elegant.
Under the moon, among the dancing shadows of flowers, she couldn't tell for a moment whether it was poetry and the distant place, or the fireworks of the world?
