Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

"Aqin, how much is this worth?" Zhao Ping couldn't help but ask.

Judging from his brother's performance just now, this thing must be worth more than 200 yuan.

"I do not know either."

Zhao Ping was confused by his answer. He didn't know you were leaving so happily!

Zhao Qin looked around and found a store with a simple decoration. When he walked into the store, there was an old man sitting at the coffee table reading a book.

"Hello, old gentleman, do you want to collect your things?"

"Hey, what's good? Come sit down, have a cup of tea first, calm down on a hot day, and speak slowly."

The old gentleman motioned to sit across from him, and Zhao Qin sat down without any politeness. He also motioned for the eldest brother and Ah He to sit on the other side.

Seeing that the old gentleman wanted to make tea for the three of them, Zhao Qin took the initiative to grab the kettle and refilled the old gentleman's cup first, then poured a cup of tea for each of the three.

After drinking two glasses in a row, he took out a piece from the bucket and put it on the table. This time he simply didn't speak and let the old man see it by himself.

The old man took it and weighed it first, then rubbed it with his hands a few times, and then put on the reading glasses in his breast pocket to look at it.

"Coral jade, the quality is very good. This stuff is rare. If you can find it, it means you are lucky."

Naturally, the old man would not directly ask about the origin of this thing. This is the rule of the antique shop. It does not ask about the origin, the authenticity, and the quality and quantity are not required. (Haha, I’m very knowledgeable in this industry)

"It's okay, just check the price."

The old man nodded slightly, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said: "I can see 6500 yuan for this piece."

Hearing this price, Zhao Ping and Ah He were overjoyed. They finally understood why Zhao Qin moved so quickly when they heard the price of 200. Daqing is so valuable. Oh my god, this piece is worth more than 6000, and that barrel is worth a lot of money. .

Zhao Qin did not comment, and took out another piece from the bucket. This piece had more beautiful patterns and brighter colors. "Old sir, what do you think of this piece?"

"Hey, there's more than one piece, let me see."

This time the old man looked at it for a little longer, and the slight joy on his face was not hidden. He put down the things and said: "This piece is considered a fine piece. I can see 1."

Zhao Qin still didn't speak. In fact, the price exceeded his expectations.

Before he came here, he thought that these could be sold for 20 yuan, but judging from the old man's quotation, it would definitely be more than that if they were all added up.

“Young man, these are natural and need to be carved, so the price of the finished product will definitely be higher, but I run a store and I always have to set aside a portion of the profit.

The relationship between people and jade is about fate. If the fate is not there, the jade may stay in my hand for a few years. If the fate is good, it may be taken away the next day. "

"Old sir, you are a kind man, so let's take a look together. There are still many pieces in the bucket."

When the old man heard that there was still more, his face became happy again and he said to Ahe: "Young man, please help me put away the cup."

Then he motioned to Zhao Qin to pour them all out.

When he saw that big piece, the old man's eyes almost popped out of his head, "How could it be so big?"

After studying it carefully for a moment, he murmured: "It's really coral jade. It's so big that you can wear a bracelet. Darling, this is good."

"Boy, what's your name?"

Zhao Qin introduced himself, and the old man also said that his surname was Chen. He stood up and took some paper, pen, and ziplock bag markers. He handed the pen and paper to Zhao Qin, "Look at each of these things one by one and the price per piece. Let's discuss it." Just remember it."

Then he picked up a piece, which was considered to be of the worst quality. The old man quoted a price of 2800 yuan. After the quotation, he asked Zhao Qin if he had any objections.

Zhao Qin nodded and made a note. The old man picked up a small ziplock bag, put the piece of jade in it, and wrote the price on the bag with a marker.

After repeating this process, the 26 small stones were soon settled on, the high ones were 1, the low ones were 5, 20, the high ones were relatively more, roughly adding up to [-], and then came the largest one.

"Aqin, I'm not going to hide it from you. Coral jade is extremely difficult to find for bracelets. Bracelets that can be made with better quality can usually reach the auction level. That's what you are interested in."

"Mr. Chen, we have a fate today. Yours was the first store I entered in the antique street. You are kind, so we made this deal.

I don’t hide it either. I know this stuff, but I’m not very clear about the price. If it weren’t for the shortcomings of buying a boat, I wouldn’t be willing to part with it. "

Mr. Chen said "oh" and finally understood. These jade stones may have been picked up for some time. This young man knew the goods and wanted to squeeze them out before selling them. Now he has to sell them to raise money to buy a boat.

"Then, do you think this piece is suitable?"

Zhao Qin suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded slightly and said: "Mr. Chen is kind, let's pay this price."

Zhao Ping and Ah He were both numb when they sat aside. They were extremely suspicious that the price they quoted was not RMB, but Zimbabwe dollars. It was just a few stones. How could it easily cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

This is a problem of cognition. If two people see Hetian jade worth tens of millions a piece, their first thought will definitely be that they would spend tens of millions to buy a stone if they have a brain attack.

"Mr. Chen, do you think there is anything wrong with my memory?" Zhao Qin handed the order to the other party for confirmation.

Then came the accounting, 27 stones were sold for a total of 37.3.

"Aqin, help me move my things in first. I don't have that much cash in the store. It's not safe for you to bring cash. Follow me to the bank to transfer money later."

Zhao Qin put the stones into the small basket brought by Mr. Chen. When he walked inside, he saw several large safes connected to the wall. He was secretly surprised, but he only took a glance and turned around and went outside. .

After waiting for a few minutes, Mr. Chen came out, locked the door, and led them to the bank.

After confirming the transfer, Mr. Chen added: "It's noon. If you don't mind, let's have a meal together."

"Okay, I'll ask you to please."

"Haha, it doesn't matter who invites you."

We found a restaurant nearby and several people entered the private room. After Mr. Chen ordered the food, he glanced at Zhao Ping and Ahe.

"Mr. Chen, please tell me what you have to say. These are my brother and my younger brother."

"Aqin, if you catch anything from the sea in the future, as long as it's not particularly sensitive, you can take it from me."

Zhao Qin understood.

There are many treasures in the sea. There are countless official ships and merchant ships that have sunk in it from ancient times to the present. There are also many fishermen who can occasionally fish out some rare treasures from the sea. Those who are enlightened can hand it over.

Some found private ways to sell them, while others kept them in their hands and did not dare to show them to anyone.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Chen."

The old man was quite good at drinking and a good drinker. Zhao Qin did not touch the bottle and asked his eldest brother to accompany the old man. Together with Ah He, the three of them had just one bottle of wine.

After drinking, Mr. Chen was sent back to the store, and the three of them returned home happily.

When he arrived in town, Zhao Qin insisted on stopping to buy some food, saying that he would celebrate in the evening. After all, today's income solved his urgent need, at least he would not have to worry about the money to start building a house soon.

After buying the groceries, he said to his eldest brother Ahe: "Brother, Ahe, I won't split the money."

"You picked it up yourself, so what do you share?" Zhao Ping felt that his words were a bit redundant.

"Brother, don't worry. None of us will talk about this when we get home. I won't even talk about my milk."

"Ah He is right. I won't even tell your sister-in-law about this. It's enough for the three of us to know."
