The customs said that there was a problem with the permit of Du Ziyu's batch of stones, and they needed to be temporarily detained for inspection, but we had to wait for the news for how long the inspection would last.There were indeed no irregularities in the procedures for this batch of stones, so Du Ziyu decided to wait and see what happened, and if he stayed for too long, he would find a way to support the relationship.So early the next morning, he still went to Master Jieshi for the appointment as planned.

The buyer arrived earlier than him. When he and Shen Shi entered the door, the other party was chatting with the old master, looking familiar. The buyer was a middle-aged man, slightly fatter, with golden eyes, The oily hair was combed neatly, and Du Ziyu recognized this face at a glance. It turned out to be Boss Zhao who had missed out on Christie's Spring Auction.

Did it fall on him again this time?

Du Ziyu sighed in his heart, and most of the interest in talking about business was gone. The other party seemed to recognize him, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his right hand to him, showing a professional smile: "Boss Du, we really don't meet each other anywhere in the world." !"

Du Ziyu shrugged, and the old master said in surprise, "So you two are acquaintances?"

"I've seen it." Du Ziyu nodded slightly, and his attitude was not enthusiastic. When he looked at Boss Zhao, his smile was only on the surface: "I have so many stones, Boss Zhao wants it?" Last night I heard that someone wanted to buy When betting on stones, he speculated on the buyer's intentions, guessing that the buyer was probably a stone betting dealer, and Boss Zhao was just a merchant with a hobby of collecting. He didn't understand why this person bought so many stones.

"Boss Du thinks I'm not sincere enough?" The Hong Kong man pushed his glasses: "If I didn't want to buy it sincerely, why would I go here again and again? Boss Du just ask for a price!"

Unlike diamonds, which have a uniform evaluation standard, stone betting is priced in combination with the color, type, water, foundation of the stone, the entrance where the stone is mined, the age of the mine, etc... so it is impossible to give a bet by looking at the window alone. When it comes to stone valuation, when an expert buys a stone, the first sentence must be to ask about the venue for gambling on the stone. The value of a stone is continuously added with the long evolution process since it was buried in the earth's crust.

Therefore, the so-called asking price is definitely not the upper lip touching the lower lip, just quoting millions and tens of millions. Du Ziyu took out a quotation from his briefcase and handed it to Boss Zhao. The serial number indicates the location and mining situation of the stone in detail, and clearly indicates the price of each gambling stone.

"Boss Zhao, my business is relatively simple and rude. I will never hide the information I should give you." Du Ziyu smiled: "But correspondingly, the price I quoted you is not as big as other gambling stones." Moisture, I sell it in a regular manner, and you buy it in a regular manner, so both parties can worry about it, right?"

The sellers ask for prices, and the buyers pay back the money. It has always been a means of making huge profits in the stone gambling industry.Du Ziyu didn't think he had such a strong sense of justice, and he would earn money when he should, but he didn't intend to gnaw at the hard bone of Boss Zhao.

If you want to do business, then do it in a proper manner, or, if you buy it and break it up, his stone will not worry about selling!

"Boss Du is so sincere, then this business will be even better. I'll take this quotation back and have a look, and then we'll contact you!" Boss Zhao said, put away the receipt, and invited: "Boss Du, if you If you're not busy, let's have a meal together at noon? We can't do business with one hammer, and talk about long-term cooperation?"

Du Ziyu did not refuse. Hong Kong people found a tea restaurant with a decent environment, and chatted with him while eating. After a meal, Du Ziyu finally figured out why this Zhao man had such a large demand for gambling stones.It turned out that he opened an auction house in Yau Ma Tei, and he has been doing antique gem auctions. The year before last, he began to auction finished jade and jade products. Recently, many mainland businessmen have brought in demand for gambling stones, but there are very few commissions for gambling stone collections in Hong Kong. The purpose of purchasing Du Ziyu's goods was to test the gambling stone auction market in Hong Kong.

After eating almost, Boss Zhao handed Du Ziyu a business card with the name and address of his auction house on it: "Tomorrow there just happens to be a porcelain auction. If Boss Du is interested, you can take a look."

Du Ziyu nodded, and took Boss Zhao's olive branch: "Okay, I will definitely go there when I have time."

After sending Boss Zhao away, Du Ziyu contacted the logistics company to inquire about the situation of the batch of stones, and the answer he got was that the customs had not released them. He hung up the phone, clicked on the address book, and hung his finger on the word "Jiangbin" After hesitating for a long time, I finally gave up and planned to wait.

-

The next day, Du Ziyu came to Boss Zhao's auction as scheduled. The auction house is not big, and the layout of the exhibition hall is very compact. After the guests entered the venue one after another, the auction hall seemed a bit crowded. Du Ziyu deliberately did not disturb Boss Zhao, and found a corner with Shen Shi. sit down.They came at the right time, and the auction started as soon as they were seated. There were a total of [-] lots, all of which were porcelain.

"Can you tell the difference between high and low porcelain?" The first lot was a green glazed three-line jar from the Yongle period. Du Ziyu asked Shen Shi while listening to the staff's introduction.

"I can't tell the year, but I can tell if it's true or not." Shen Shi said, and went to look at the lot with a strange expression on his face: "This is a fake."

Fake?

Du Ziyu didn't believe in Shen Shi's judgment. After all, these lots should be appraised by the auction house before they could be put on the booth. At this time, there were already frequent buyers raising placards, and the price was not low.In just a few minutes, the emerald jar dropped the hammer, 1500 million Hong Kong dollars.

It is impossible for these buyers here to be so ignorant, but Shen Shi said that it is a fake... Du Ziyu looked at Shen Shi suspiciously, he may not believe the experts, but he must believe the words of Pixiu, right?

Du Ziyu stared thoughtfully at the buyer who had just won. As soon as the second lot was hammered, this person left the table in a hurry, as if he had come here specifically for the emerald jar.The following exhibits did not bid such a high price again, and what is interesting is that the first lot raised signs one after another, but at the end, the number of raised signs suddenly dropped. It seemed that most people were optimistic about Shen Shi and said yes The emerald jar of the fake.

Before the auction was over, Du Ziyu and Shen Shi also left the table. At the entrance of the exhibition hall, they happened to meet Boss Zhao. , the reception is not good... how about it, have you taken a fancy to it?"

Du Ziyu looked at Boss Zhao, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "That emerald jar is pretty good."

"Boss Du also has research on porcelain collection?" Boss Zhao was obviously taken aback.

"I made you laugh. At first I didn't think that jar was the real thing, but it ended up being sold for 1500 million yuan..." Du Ziyu laughed at himself, and then he laughed. Boss Zhao also laughed and patted Du Ziyu on the shoulder: " All my things have been appraised by experts, there is no way there are fakes, hahaha! Boss Du, you are an expert in stone gambling, so you need to look more at this antique porcelain!"

Just as he was talking, Boss Zhao's cell phone rang. He said sorry to Du Ziyu, and Du Ziyu took the opportunity to leave.

"You want to sell the stone to him?" Shen Shi asked suddenly when he walked out of the auction house.

"What?" Du Ziyu was a little surprised, Shen Shi rarely interfered in his business decisions, it was a little strange to ask suddenly this time.

Shen Shi shook his head: "That person's anger is not right." He frowned: "Wealth can be divided into positive wealth and partial wealth, and he thrives on partial wealth."

"This person really likes crooked ways..." Du Ziyu nodded, and he didn't know if he had received Shen Shi's psychological suggestion. He always felt that the auction just now was weird. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at a family on the street. In the convenience store, a tall, well-dressed man was buying cigarettes at the cash register, and this man was none other than Jiang Bin!

When Jiang Bin settled the bill and came out, he recognized Du Ziyu at a glance. He was taken aback for a moment, and then came over to greet him generously: "Mr. Du, what a coincidence?"

"Mr. Jiang came to play?" Du Ziyu greeted.

"En." Jiang Bin nodded. Seeing that he cherished words like gold, Du Ziyu wisely stopped disturbing him, waved his hand, and watched Jiang Bin get into a black Mercedes.Unexpectedly, the car stopped and reversed after driving less than 100 meters, Jiang Bin pressed the window of the car and asked Du Ziyu, "If Mr. Du is not busy, can you accompany me to pick out jade? "

Du Ziyu laughed: "Should I refuse?" After speaking, he got into Jiang Bin's car without hesitation.

The car drove to a jade market in Kowloon, Jiang Bin got off the car and went straight to a stall, asking the stall owner to bring out the goods he had been looking at before.The paper bag was opened, and there was a sun green jadeite bead string grown in an old pit and a bracelet of the same color. The stall owner explained that it was a piece of emerald material cut out of a rough stone, and two accessories were made.

The jadeite market in Guangdong area matured early, and now fakes can be confused with real ones. It is too easy to drill holes without two brushes to buy jadeite here. Du Ziyu picked up two jadeite ornaments and knocked on each other. The mobile phone flash looked at the texture, but the color was clear and transparent, it was a good product. At this time, Shen Shi came up to sniff it, and said bluntly: "It's not the same rough stone."

Du Ziyu was stunned for a moment, this boy could tell by the taste that this was also a miracle, but he had no doubts about Shen Shi's words, since it was not a piece of jade, it was strange that the color was so consistent...Du Ziyu picked up the bead string again to look at it , This is why some people feel that the green is too uniform, but it has no aura.

Du Ziyu pulled Jiang Bin aside and asked, "How much do you pay for the beads?"

"Fifty bead strings, one hundred bracelets." Jiang Bin frowned: "Water?"

"The string of beads has no color roots, just the darker green lines or spots that are common in jadeite. If it is the best old pit material, the color roots will not be visible, but it is definitely not at this price."

"what do you mean?"

"The beads may have been dyed." Du Ziyu speculated: "There is nothing wrong with the bracelet, one hundred is a bit high, and seventy can fit in."

Jiang Bin trusted Du Ziyu very much, nodded, walked up to the stall owner and said, "I want the bracelet, can you tell me the price?" In the end, he and the stall owner cut the price down to 75, and Jiang Bin took out his wallet and swiped his card directly. .

Standing two steps behind him, Du Ziyu suddenly turned his head and asked Shen Shi: "I'll go to the booth over there to have a look. After he finishes paying, you bring him to me." After finishing speaking, he walked quickly to At a stall not far away, I bent down and picked for a while, and chose a sun green ring face, which was similar in color to that bracelet.

"How did you sell it?"

"Sir, you have good eyesight. The noodle you are looking for is the most expensive ring noodle we have. It is made of old pit ice and has no impurities at all!"

Du Ziyu interrupted the stall owner's promotion, and asked again: "How much?"

"One hundred Hong Kong dollars."

Turning his head and glanced at Jiang Bin who had already taken the goods, Du Ziyu simply refused to bargain: "I'll pay 50, and when the gentleman comes over later, you quote 50, and give him [-]."

The stall owner immediately nodded knowingly, and kept telling Du Ziyu to rest assured. Just as the discussion was over, Jiang Bin and Shen Shi came over. Du Ziyu turned around and called Jiang Bin to look at the noodles in his hand: "Mr. Is emerald a gift for elders? It doesn’t sound good to give a single bracelet, but I think this ring is not bad, let’s make a pair?”

Jiang Bin responded and took the noodles to see. The stall owner still used the same words just now to sell his products. Jiang Bin was not as straightforward as Du Ziyu. After watching for a long time, he nodded and asked, "How much is it?"

"seventy."

"Fifty! No more!" Du Ziyu helped to bargain.The boss babbled and refused to give in, and the two of you talked to each other for a long time before the boss sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you fifty!"

Here, Jiang Bin paid the money, and said politely to Du Ziyu, "Mr. Du, have dinner together tonight?"

"Don't be so polite, we can eat at any time, and we can't delay the gift for the elders." Du Ziyu smiled and declined: "Besides, I have to go to the customs later."

Jiang Bin frowned, with a questionable expression on his face, but Du Ziyu didn't say much, just said: "There are some problems with a batch of goods passing the customs, I will go and solve them myself."

"Want to help?"

"You don't need to trouble Mr. Jiang with this matter."

"I owe you a favor, and I can help you with something."

"It's really not necessary, you can go to work." Du Ziyu repeatedly rejected Jiang Bin's kindness, waved at him, took a taxi, and got into the car with Shen Shi.

After getting in the car, Shen Shi asked him inexplicably: "Why don't you let him help you?"

"Saving him is based on basic human nature. It is not a last resort. I don't want to use this as an exchange," Du Ziyu patiently explained to Shen Shi: "In other words, for this favor, I will ask him to help me pass a batch of stones, too. It's a waste." As he spoke, he looked out the window, not knowing if he had pressed the right treasure today.

Jiang Bin can buy expensive jade jewelry for the elders of his family. This person must have a very close relationship with him, even if he is not a mother, he must be a grandmother, and he must understand jade. As long as the face value is definitely more than 50, Jiang Bin is a smart person. Once the gift is sent out, he can more or less guess that he has followed it... Now we are waiting to see how he will reply to himself.
