Chapter 36 Who is right and who is wrong
Five thousand words of big seal, urgently needed various ticket support!
The next day, June 10th, the temperature reached twenty-five degrees early in the morning, and it was another hot weather.
When Wang Zhuo arrived at the leisure club, Guan Yingying, Qi Fei and Qiu Lu happened to have just arrived. As soon as they met, Guan Yingying joked and said, "Oh, Wang Zhuo, does it seem very different today?"
Wang Zhuo’s outfit today was bought at a specialty store on the commercial street yesterday morning. He didn’t know the brand or something, and he was not very well aware of the popularity of each brand. This outfit was completely selected based on personal taste and preferences. Although the price was expensive, it was not outrageous.
Not to mention, his change from head to toe is a world of difference compared to the faded Li Ning sportswear he used to wear. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. After changing into this outfit, he suddenly changed from a mediocre student to a handsome guy in Yushu.
"This set of equipment is not cheap, right?" Qiu Lu saw the key at a glance.
Wang Zhuo nodded honestly: "It's about two thousand."
Qiu Lu smiled and said, "It's not bad, the computer is also configured. When will I buy a house and a car?"
Wang Zhuo thought for a while and laughed: "After a while, I will buy it if I get the admission letter."
"It's true that the spring breeze is proud-" Guan Yingying teased.
Qi Fei also smiled and nodded, "Find another beautiful girlfriend, it will be a life that everyone envies."
Wang Zhuo laughed dryly, thinking that this kind of life is indeed not far away. If he could go to college with his girlfriend in the same city and buy a house outside the school to live with him, it would be even more perfect!
"You can take a look at these first." Qi Fei pushed a stack of neatly arranged magazines and newspapers to Wang Zhuo.
Due to the hot weather, Qi Fei wore a pink silk shirt with transparent tulle sleeves today. His bulging chest supported the shirt, and the lace embroidery on the bra was vaguely visible. Her hands were slender and small, with transparent maintenance oil applied to her nails, which was crystal clear. The delicate little hands and great breasts contrasted clearly, which made Wang Zhuo sigh at the magic of creation.
For a while, Wang Zhuo looked through the magazines and newspapers. It turned out that these were some related materials from the recent jade collection. Qi Fei carefully collected them and made simple annotations and bindings. Just browse them and you can roughly know the latest developments in the industry.
These magazines and newspapers are very professional, and the information covered includes the production, auction process, details, and expert comments. She also specially marked some small-sized imperial greens and dragon stone jades. Using these materials as references and a little analysis, the value of the dragon stone imperial green can be roughly estimated.
While looking, Wang Zhuo sincerely admired: "Sister Qi, these things are so useful, it's hard to find, right?"
"Of course it's hard to find. It's impossible for us to have third-tier cities like this." Guan Yingying smiled and said, "These were sent by Sister Qi from Shanghai. She just arrived yesterday."
"It's actually nothing." Qi Fei shook his head and said, "It's not difficult to collect it with your heart. I have a dedicated person under my command to do it all the time. This time I'm just a simple task to help you."
Qiu Lu commented: "Sister Qi's studio is very professional."
"This laughing Maitreya seems to be closer to our material." Wang Zhuo opened a colored insert in a magazine and said: "The material is the same as ours, and the volume is almost the same. It was auctioned for 12.8 million, which was the end of last year."
"Yes, the closest thing is it." Guan Yingying tucked her hair on her temples and said, "But there are still some differences. Have you noticed that its thickness is four millimeters lower than your material, which is already the thickness of a layer of egg noodles. In addition, the price of jade has increased significantly in the past six months. Such top-quality materials are even more expensive, so your material will be much more expensive than this Xiaomaite."
Qi Fei smiled and said, "Actually, I have seen this Smiling Maitreya before. There is a very small crack on the material, which damages a certain value. But later the designer cleverly avoided the crack, so the finished product you see is perfect."
Qiu Lu looked longing: "This is the highest level of Wancui. I wonder if I will have such an opportunity in the future."
"By the way," Wang Zhuo suddenly remembered something: "Brother Qiu, did Boss Cai let you go so happily?"
Qiu Lu nodded and laughed: "He also gave me a red envelope of 20,000 yuan, saying that Chi Ziqian could not raise big-headed fish, so that I could make a fortune in the future. Don't forget him, his former boss."
Cai Yuantu is really a wonderful person. Wang Zhuo smiled and said, "Then will you also be a freelancer in the future?"
"Yes!" Qiu Lu said: "The jade market has been very good in recent years. I have some savings. I plan to go to Yunnan, buy some materials and process them myself, and open an online store."
Wang Zhuo raised his thumb: "I wish you success in starting a business!"
"It's almost time." Qi Fei looked at the exquisite female watch on his wrist, stood up and said, "Xiao Qiu and I go downstairs to pick up people. Yingying, you and Wang Zhuo will chat first."
About ten minutes later, Qi Fei and Qiulu came back and took ten men, women, young and old. The spacious room suddenly became a little crowded.
The waiter walked in quickly, pushed a screen away, and exposed a small kang. After removing the chess table above, he could easily sit down three or four people, which immediately solved the pressure of space.
"Let me introduce it first." Qi Fei smiled and pointed at a vicious old man about seventy years old: "This is Mr. Yue from Taiwan, from Jiaxing, Zhejiang. He has been in Beijing for retirement in recent years and is well-known in the jade collection industry."
The old man nodded with a smile and did not say polite words like not daring to behave. It seemed that he was a bit complacent.
The four behind were the old man’s juniors and followers. After Qi Fei introduced them one by one, he nodded politely to the remaining five people, introduced Wang Zhuo and Guan Yingying to everyone, and then continued to introduce the remaining five people.
It turned out that these ten people were not together, and both sides knew each other. This time, they made a special trip to see Jade, which happened to be living in the same hotel, so they came with each other.
Qi Fei's original intention was to receive the reception separately, but things had already happened by chance, so he had to go with the flow.
The five people behind him are the boss of a mainland film company. He is about forty years old and is named Guo Jiandeng. He is not well-known outside the circle, but those who know him know that this is a hype expert. No matter how garbage the films he handles can recover their investment, and if they are a little better, they can make a lot of money.
Two of the four people he brought were experts in the field of jade collection, and the other two stood outside the door and did not come in. Judging from their body shape and expression, they were suspected to be two bodyguards.
The two sides exchanged greetings first. The two experts brought by Mr. Yue and Guo Jiandeng were old acquaintances. When talking about strange stories in the collection industry, the three of them were all familiar with each other. Mr. Yue’s relatives and friends listened politely and echoed a few words from time to time. However, Guo Jiandeng was very imaginative and smoked and picked teeth. He even rinsed with tea and spit it in a bamboo pot on the windowsill!
Guan Yingying grinned and asked Qi Fei with her eyes.
Qi Fei gave her an answer with a wink. This person was brought by those two experts and she had never seen him before!
The tea was drunk and the heat was almost gone. At the suggestion of an expert, the highlight came. Wang Zhuo and Qiu Lu took out the safe and opened it, took out the jade and placed it in the center of the Eight Immortals Table.
"So green." Old Yue's youngest son, who was in his thirties, exclaimed.
An expert named Ma Zhongbai reached out and said, "Please please, Mr. Yue."
Expert Zhao Meng also smiled and gave in modesty. Old Yue nodded, took the glasses handed over by his granddaughter and put them on, pulled the silk cloth and moved the jade to the front and watched carefully.
The old man nodded first, then shook his head, and then nodded again, his expression sometimes soothed and sometimes frowned. No one knew what he was thinking.
After reading it, he was silent for more than ten seconds, slowly pushed the jade away, and said to Ma Zhongbai: "Look at it too."
Ma Zhongbai looked carefully with a magnifying glass, Zhao Meng also poked his head over, and Guo Jiandeng was smoking in front of the window, not seemingly in a hurry to look at jade.
"Xiao Qi." Old Yue took a sip of tea and spoke slowly: "Did you solve this material by yourself?"
"I just followed the staff and it was the two of them who took action." Qi Fei pointed at Wang Zhuo and Qiu Lu.
"The young men have good skills." Old Yue smiled and asked seriously: "Who judged it first? This material is Tielongsheng?"
"Old Yue, you may have made a mistake. This material is from the Dragon Stone species, not the Iron Dragonshen." Qi Fei replied with a smile.
"Dragon Stone Seed? Haha." Old Yue shook his head repeatedly, glanced at Qi Fei lightly, and said, "Dragon Stone Seed is just a saying that has just become popular in recent years. In my opinion, it is purely a gimmick of hype and has no practical significance."
Hearing this, Wang Zhuo felt something was wrong. This old man had something to say, and it seemed like he was going to ruin the situation?
Sure enough, I heard Mr. Yue continue to say: "This material is indeed impeccable, with a full head, full color, and no impurities, but it is just a glass type with low transparency. I gave it a frightening name called the Dragon Stone type, so that it can increase its value? Yixiao Fang Family."
A glass type with low transparency? Guan Yingying was the first to quit and said politely: "Old Yue, I'll bring you a glass of water. Do you want to pass the material and then take a look?"
"No," Yue Laocheng shook his head and smiled, "I have been playing with jade for forty years, but I have never seen any material? Although I am old now, my eyes are not yet covered."
Guan Yingying looked at Qi Fei speechlessly, and the latter shook her head slightly with a wry smile. She didn't expect that the old man was so difficult.
Wang Zhuo no longer intends to deal with this arrogant old man. Although the business is unsuccessful and righteous, it is welcome to not buy or take a look, but just look at it. Don’t talk nonsense, isn’t this a mess?
At this time, Zhao Meng put down the spectator and the strong flashlight, nodded affirmatively and said, "It is indeed a dragon stone species."
Guo Jiandeng grinned and nodded arrogantly to agree.
Wang Zhuo and others looked at each other, and suddenly they felt that Guo Jiandeng was very appreciative. He suppressed Mr. Yue's arrogance, which was really relieved.
"The price of jade is disturbed by you profit-oriented merchants." Old Yue was so angry that his beard trembled slightly, and his voice also increased a little: "Even the previously worthless transparent materials and brick materials that were as black as charcoal, have been hyped up to sky-high prices. Do you really think that collectors are fools and will not see your trap?"
"There is no trap? One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. This is a consensual matter." Guo Jianden smiled and glanced at Old Yue and said, "Is the 2.8 million you bought is the value of that piece of jade, and I am not the 18 million you bought? Then guess, let's use the money to find the seller, will he sell it to you or to me?"
This is going to start arguing...Ma Zhongbai and Zhao Meng hurried over to prepare to get along with Ximeng. This old man Yue is very famous in the circle, but he is too stubborn, so don't be troublesome if you get angry.
"What a clever businessman!" Old Yue slapped the table and stood up, bowing to Qi Fei: "Miss Qi, say goodbye!"
After saying that, Boss Yue took big steps and left the private room in a blink of an eye.
"Hey? Old Yue..." Qi Fei hurriedly chased after him, but Wang Zhuo probably didn't want to invite someone back, but just took care of her.
Mr. Yue's relatives and friends also quickly followed him out. Ma Zhongbai hesitated for a moment, whispered a few words to Guo Jiandeng, and chased him out.
Suddenly, there were only two guests, Guo Jiandeng and Zhao Meng, as well as three hosts, Wang Zhuo, Guan Yingying and Qiu Lu.
Wang Zhuo smiled and took the pot and added a cup of tea to Guo Jiandeng, saying, "Mr. Guo is quick and easy to speak, which is very compatible with my appetite."
Guo Jiandeng grinned: "It's just an self-righteous old guy. I've dealt with many such people."
"So, Mr. Guo intends to buy my jadeite?" Wang Zhuo picked up the jadeite on the table and slowly played with it in his hand.
"Yes, you can refer to the price of this." Guo Jiandeng pointed to the laughing Maitreya in the magazine with his hand.
At this time, Guan Yingying suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Guo is a famous hype king in the film and television industry?"
Guo Jiandeng was slightly surprised and smiled and said, "I dare not take it. It's just a few compliments from his colleagues."
"Then, I think we should have a more common language." Guan Yingying smiled sly: "I think Mr. Guo will definitely give us a price that satisfies us for the reputation of this jade."
