Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach
Chapter 199 Selling Jade
When he arrived at the previous beach, he slowed down and began to explore bit by bit. From time to time, he used a sand shovel to scrape the surface of the sand.
Sure enough, he saw the same pebbles he had picked up before.
After taking a closer look and rubbing it with my hands, I found that the touch is really different from ordinary stones, smoother and firmer in texture.
He didn't know what it was, but from the feedback on the system panel, he was sure it was something good.
No matter what, just pick it up first. If it's contraband, the worst case scenario is to take it back and throw it into the sea.
After carefully picking it up, I found quite a lot. From time to time, I would find a small piece, generally not big in size, about the same size as a baby's fist or even smaller.
When he was almost at the end, he found a small corner stone on the beach. He tried to dig it with his hands, but it didn't move. He used a sand shovel to pry it, but it still didn't move.
He knew that it was a big one, so he dug it out with a shovel more than a dozen times, and finally lifted it out. He weighed it in his hands and found that it weighed several kilograms.
Instead of admiring it carefully, he put it in the bucket and continued to look for it.
After searching twice in a row and failing to find another piece, he reluctantly walked home. Today was already cloudy, but now it was already very dark.
On the way home, when the villagers saw him carrying a bucket and knew that he was lucky, they all took a curious look. When they saw it was a bucket of stones, they all became curious.
"Haha, don't build a house now. I plan to build a fish tank in the future. These stones look beautiful, so I can throw them into the fish tank." He explained with a smile. He always said this to everyone he met.
Anyway, he has done a lot of unreliable things before, and this is not the least of them.
Some people will say that young people think differently, and some people will secretly curse and say that people can't eat too much.
He went directly back to his old house, turned on the computer, and after some comparison, he quickly got the answer.
What I picked up was a rare treasure in the sea, called coral jade, also known as chrysanthemum jade, and some people called it fortune jade.
It is a fossil formed after the bleaching of corals on the seabed to form a coral reef, and then infiltrated by carbon and calcium. After hundreds of millions of years of continuous crustal changes, geothermal baking and long-term high temperature and high pressure.
With bright colors and diverse patterns, it is a true organic gemstone.
It's just that Du Niang is not that powerful now. Zhao Qin searched for a long time and couldn't find the corresponding price, but he found the answer he wanted most, which was: allow trading.
At this moment, it started to rain again. Zhao Qin poured all the stones on the ground and started counting them one by one.
The small one has a total of 26 yuan, the large one has 1 yuan, and the total is 27 yuan.
These stones have cleared more than 80 of the luck points in his system. From this point of view, the price of these coral jade should be at least [-] yuan.
He was in a good mood. For him who wanted to build a house and buy a boat, money now was too important.
He put the jade away, covered it with a snakeskin bag, and put it in the back room. Then he locked the door and went to the eldest brother's house for dinner.
"Brother, do you have anything going on tomorrow? Come with me to the city."
"There's no fruit on the mountain, and there's no way out of the sea. What's going to happen? Why are you going to the city? You won't be back until this morning."
"Don't ask. You and Ah He stay with me. I don't feel at ease by myself."
Seeing that he only said half of what he said, Zhao Ping took the cup and took a sip unhappily.
After dinner, while the rain stopped, Zhao Qin ran to inform Ahe again.
……
Early in the morning, as usual, we couldn't go out to sea, but the wind was obviously lighter than last night, and the weather was also becoming clearer.
Riding on my beloved tricycle, there won’t be much traffic jams on the road.
"Aqin, what's in your bucket?" Zhao Ping couldn't help but ask.
"Good stuff, I'm going to sell this thing today."
"Where to go then?"
Zhao Qin was confused by the question. He didn't know where to get this stuff. How about calling Mr. Feng, the jade maker?
Thinking of this, he took out his phone and called Mr. Feng.
"Aqin, although this stuff is a good thing, it is too niche. Jewelry stores like ours can't accept it because the public doesn't recognize it. If you go to an antique store and have a look, they will accept it."
"Mr. Feng, do you know where the antique market is in our city?"
"I know, I'll send you the message later."
Zhao Qin thanked him and hung up the phone.
Zhao Ping asked curiously: "You want to sell coral jade? What does it look like?"
"You'll see it when you get there."
After a while, Mr. Feng's address was sent over. The three of them were not familiar with the city, so they had to ask several people before they found the place.
Zhao Qin walked around first and found the one with the biggest reputation, and the three of them walked in.
"Can I accept coral jade here?"
A young man, probably an apprentice or a junior in the family, was cleaning the house. When he saw him asking, he shouted to the people upstairs. After a while, a man in his fifties came down.
"Coral jade harvesting depends on the quality."
As the middle-aged man spoke, his eyes kept scanning the three of them, and he knew for a moment that the three of them must be fishermen.
Zhao Qin ignored the other person's gaze, took out one that seemed to him to be of better quality from the bucket, and placed it on the counter.
The middle-aged man did not get started, but first took out the tools, a small flashlight and a magnifying glass. He first looked at it with the small flashlight for a while, and then looked at it with the magnifying glass.
The expression on his face changed from calm at first to becoming more and more embarrassed as he looked at it. After a while, he pushed the stone in front of Zhao Qin.
Zhao Ping and Ah He felt thumping in their hearts, they don't want it.
Zhao Qin looked at the middle-aged man with a smile. Although he had never played hard to get with merchants, he had seen a lot of them.
"Young man, you are right, this is coral jade, but coral jade is also a general term. Your quality is too poor..."
"You won't accept it?" Zhao Qin interrupted and asked before he could finish.
A trace of displeasure flashed across the middle-aged man's face, as if he was a little unhappy with him interrupting his words. He sighed for a moment and said: "Forget it, you guys picked it up from the sea. The fishermen are also working hard, and I don't want to make money by collecting it." Yes, 200 yuan, I will keep this piece."
After hearing the boss's quotation, Zhao Ping and Ah He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this trip was not in vain. Ah Qin had a lot of money and could sell it for several thousand dollars.
"Boss, I would rather pour it into the sea for 200 yuan." After Zhao Qin finished speaking, he picked up the piece of coral jade and threw it into the bucket, turned around and left.
"Young boy, how much do you want?" The middle-aged man was confused and hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.
"Boss, I'm wasting your time. It doesn't matter how much I ask for. You don't have to be embarrassed to do unprofitable business. Goodbye."
After Zhao Qin finished speaking, he had already walked out of the store. Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, the boss became a little anxious and said, "Young man, come in so we can discuss it. Look at the fixed price."
Don't rush, this street is not his antique shop. I just saw three people dressed in ordinary clothes and smelling earthy. I thought they didn't understand, so I gave it a try, but to my surprise, the other person was quite temperamental. He left without even paying the price.
It’s not that Zhao Qin didn’t counter-offer, but he didn’t know how much he should pay back.
Then I thought, yes, the boss can lower the price, but I can also ask for a ridiculous price!
