Chapter 78 Jade and Jewelry Fair
The things are naturally real. Qian Yaosi also thought it was a good item with a wide open door, but he was a little unhappy. He had just lost a bet on a purple clay tea set worth nearly one million yuan. The ancient man brought a bronze Bodhisattva statue with such a good appearance to show him. Isn’t this annoying!
In fact, Qian Yaosi really misunderstood Mr. Gu. Although this object looks like an old thing that opens the door at first glance, it is because of its good looks that Mr. Gu showed it to a few friends who collected it, and they all said they were not sure, so they came to Qian Yaosi's.
Although Yao Si is asking for money, he has been in the antique business for decades and has a good eye.
"The thing is real, an old object that opens the door. Old man, the reason why you can't see through is that this bronze Bodhisattva comes from a mature pit and has been passed down for a long time. It looks like it has been 'bathed'. In fact, it is often appreciated by people. The surface of the object is ripe due to long-term friction between sweat hands," Qian Yaosi explained.
Immediately afterwards, Qian Yaosi said weakly: "Brother, you have made a profit. This bronze Bodhisattva has perfect workmanship and impeccable craftsmanship. The bronze statue I have seen in so many years is the best. When you meet someone you like, you can sell it for three to five million."
"Brother, it's a blessing to suffer a loss! It's not necessarily a good thing to be smooth all your life," Mr. Gu was very happy when he heard this. He even asked the people who came with him to put away the things, and then patted Qian Yaosi on the shoulder and said. He could see that Qian Yaosi was still worried about losing to Tang Ping at this moment!
Tang Ping, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the real or false winning or losing in this antique business is really hard to predict! If he hadn't had such a pair of eyes that could appraise treasures and plunged in, he really wouldn't know how much tuition fee would he have to pay!
After leaving Qian Yaosi's "Song Baozhai", Tang Ping first settled his brother-in-law Zhao Guodong, who had been drinking too much when socializing outside, and then went to the exhibition hall of the jewelry exhibition with Liu Chuan to help set up the booth for Qin Xuanbing and Lei Lei.
There is no way. Although Tang Ping did not want to show his kindness to the beauty, if he did not take advantage of the east wind of Qin Xuanbing and Lei Lei, he would not have the opportunity to attend the jade jewelry exhibition tomorrow, and he would have no way to bet on stones!
So the next day, after the Jade Jewelry Fair began, the two "special guests" Tang Ping and Liu Chuan became temporary staff members who distributed flyers at the booths of Qin Xuanbing and others.
The jade jewelry exhibition is still very lively. Apart from jewelry companies of all sizes, the people who come here are either tourists with great value or small owners of jewelry stores in some areas. Ordinary people don’t have the chance to come here to see it.
At the exhibition, Tang Ping also saw the old man and the old acquaintance Xu Wei who was looking at him with resentment in the crowd in the distance: "Hey, this money-giving boy is here too? It seems that in the original work, he always comes to Zhuang Rui for trampling. With him in Zhuang Rui, you will always have good luck."
However, although Xu Wei secretly hated Tang Ping and Qin Xuanbing, he was not stupid and would not come to cause trouble easily, so he encouraged a villain from Jinling to punish Tang Ping and the others.
The young master Wang Fu, nicknamed "Wang Yibang", quickly took the initiative to feel uncomfortable, but when he encountered Liu Chuan's hot temperament, he naturally retreated in a complete defeat.
But when the trouble came, Mr. Wang went to complain that Qin Xuanbing and the others' booth was rude and had acted to drive away and beat customers, but in fact, he just relied on his relationship to give Qin Xuanbing and the others his eye drops.
Lei Lei was not easy to mess with, so she started yelling, and Liu Chuan even slapped Wang Fu, who appeared afterwards. The matter was a bit big, and it also attracted the ancient man he saw yesterday.
With Mr. Gu, it is naturally impossible for Tang Ping and the others to suffer a loss. Tang Ping also took out the glass-type imperial green jade and showed it to Mr. Gu. He told him about Grandpa Zhuang Rui's identity in his words, which immediately surprised and surprised Mr. Gu.
Zhuang Rui's grandfather is a professor of geology. When he was young, he heard his lectures and was considered his student. Therefore, his attitude towards Tang Ping was naturally even more different. He regarded him as a nephew, and even offered to help Qin Xuanbing and the others contact the buyers to deal with the batch of high-end jewelry they exhibited.
Tang Ping was also able to follow Mr. Gu to another exhibition hall to see the wool materials brought by Chaoshan merchants. After Gu Lao took Qin Xuanbing and his two girls to deal with jewelry, Tang Ping also started shopping with Liu Chuan.
In this jade jewelry exhibition, there were actually not many exhibitors bringing jadeite raw stones, only a few, but there were many large and small stones.
"Mu, aren't you really going to buy these stones, right? By the way, can jade be really detached from this broken stone?" Seeing Tang Ping walking all the way, looking at him carefully and seriously, Liu Chuan on the side couldn't help but say.
Tang Ping, who withdrew his gaze, smiled without comment: "Jade is detached from these rough stones, but it is impossible for each piece to have jade. Most of them are real broken stones, and some have some scattered jades. There are very few that have real blocks and good quality jades. Just like buying lottery tickets, but those with vision can still speculate whether there is jadeite through the surface of the rough stone, and whether the quality of jadeite is good or bad."
"Oh, Mutou, I didn't expect that you actually know so much?" Liu Chuan, who was a little surprised, couldn't help but look at Tang Ping with some surprise. In the past, he really didn't know that Tang Ping knew good at jadeite rough stones.
Tang Ping, who shook his head and smiled, said: "It's just because of the old jadeite rough stones left by my grandfather. I have specially learned about it."
In fact, Tang Ping’s understanding of jadeite raw stones and jadeite was just on the surface. If his eyes could see through and see the situation inside the jadeite raw stones, he would be like giving money.
In fact, most people who bet on stones also spend money to pay tuition. Only a very small number of people who can make a fortune by betting on stones are only a very small number, and they also need to rely on enough eyesight and luck.
"This brother seems to be a knowledgeable person! Come on, let's see how the stones perform on my booth?" The young boss, who was sitting at a wool booth, couldn't help but greet him when he saw Tang Ping and Liu Chuan chatting along the way.
Liu Chuan hurried over to chat with the stall owner when he heard this, while Tang Ping looked at the jadeite raw stones directly. Now he just wanted to find the jadeite stones as soon as possible, but he didn't want to waste time talking nonsense here.
Those semi-gambler materials with performance are basically very high prices, and most of them do not have jade or have very little jade. The texture is very poor, and they are basically losing money after buying it. Tang Ping is naturally not interested, so he went to see those all-gambler materials with relatively low prices.
Tang Ping casually glanced at him, and his spiritual energy was released in his eyes, and soon he found two rough stones with jade inside.
