Eleven clams, fifteen big pearls, this trip to Jiangsu and Zhejiang has achieved fruitful results.
On the shore of the lake, Dong Xuebin, who had no BACK, did not pay attention to them opening clams. He lowered his head to sort out his pearl clams. This small net bag was not big enough, so he asked the worker next to him to ask for a bigger one, and put the eleven The clam was packed carefully and he looked back at the boss and others. Dong Xuebin did not leave in a hurry, but patiently waited for them to open the clam. My purpose is to collect a string of pearl necklaces and put them up for auction, so as to maximize my profits. Otherwise, if I sell these fifteen scattered pearls alone, I will make a lot less money, and I will not be able to make a million at once. expected.
Not long after, the boss got tired from opening clams, so he sat on the lawn to rest.
Dong Xuebin noticed that the bag specially filled with high-quality gold pearls had already accumulated a lot of good products.
"Young man." After taking a sip of mineral water, the boss looked at him sideways and asked, "Did you give me the money first?" The poor harvest of fine gold pearls made him not in a good mood. Logically speaking, 1.4CM gold pearls are not good enough. It should only be this much? Is it all in this kid's clam? Thinking about it, it's impossible. Local insiders don't know much about clams. How can a layman know which clam contains good beads
Dong Xuebin was about to say something, and he hummed, "Did you count them just now? A total of eleven clams, sixty-six thousand yuan, um, by the way, I also want some finished pearls, yes, just that bag "It comes from inside." Dong Xuebin pointed, "How can I sell one of these 1.5 cm gold pearls?"
The boss put down the mineral water bottle, "It also depends on the gloss and roundness."
Dong Xuebin walked over and took one that was about 1.5CM, "What about this one?"
"The market price of this kind is 40,000. If you don't charge me a formality and a stall fee, then... I'll give it to you 35,000."
"Okay, then I'll pick a few more."
Dong Xuebin brought all his belongings to 440,000 yuan. Except for the 66,000 yuan to buy clams, he still had more than 370,000 yuan to spend, so he asked about the price, bargained for it, and screened himself. As for the golden pearls I liked, I finally selected ten 1.5CM pearls and five 1.4CM pearls. Together with the pearls in my clam, there were exactly thirty pearls, just enough to string a large pearl necklace.
The boss calculated silently: "Total... four hundred and forty thousand."
Dong Xuebin said: "Just wipe off the fraction."
"Can't erase it, 441,000."
A thousand dollars is not enough? Dong Xuebin glanced at him sideways, and was too lazy to talk nonsense. He took the password box out of the bag, twisted the password and opened the box. He took out his wallet from his pocket and counted out a thousand dollars. "There are forty-four dollars in the box." Ten thousand, this is one thousand, you can count it yourself. "The money has basically been spent, there is more than two thousand left in the wallet, and there is not much left in the bank card from last month's salary. Phew, this necklace is now. That’s all the assets.
The boss took Dong Xuebin back to the office building to visit the banknote detector.
After the transaction, Dong Xuebin took a taxi and found a hotel with an empty box in one hand and pearl clams in the other.
Dong Xuebin didn't dare to look for a hotel that was too high-end. Firstly, he didn't have enough money, so it would be nice to save a little bit. Secondly, this fishing net bag was dripping wet with muddy water, and the pearl clams were all covered with mud. It was probably a star-rated hotel. None of the hotels would let him in, so he chose an old hotel with only three floors and a cheap place with faded brands. In this way, he even received a look from the waiter.
After finding a room with a bathroom, Dong Xuebin poured the pearl clams into the sink without taking a breath.
Instead of buying a kitchen knife, Dong Xuebin started to pick at the crack of the clam shell with difficulty, and it took him a long time to open it - a 1.6CM pearl, one 1.1CM, and two 1.0CM pearls came out. Yes, five 0.7CM ones. Dong Xuebin took out the 1.6CM gold pearl and put it away, while the other pearls of lower grade were put aside alone.
Another clam…
The third clam…
The fifth clam…
After a while, fifteen golden pearls all opened their clams and came out. Dong Xuebin walked to the house with them with a happy face, and poured the finished pearls he bought on the bed, so that thirty pearls were arranged in a circle to form the shape of a necklace. If it were ordinary small pearls, not to mention thirty or sixty would not make up a necklace, at most a bracelet. But these beads, all above 1.4cm in diameter, are enough, and the diameters are there.
Looking left and right, Dong Xuebin, who was overjoyed, wanted to praise "beautiful", but he couldn't say it.
Because these beads... are not that beautiful, they always feel like there is a film on them, and they are dirty and bald.
Oh, yes, yes, Dong Xuebin suddenly remembered that these pearls are not yet finished products. The pearls that have just been extracted from the clams still need to go through the polishing process - the kind that uses old corn cobs and something similar to sugar frying. The process of rolling and rolling chestnuts in a pot, so that the luster and color of the pearls will be perfect. That’s right, let’s process them, then punch holes into them and make them into necklaces, and then just participate in the auction directly. .
Putting the pearls into the lockbox one by one, Dong Xuebin quickly walked out of the door.
Zhuji is known as the hometown of freshwater pearls. There are many places for processing pearls, and I found one right away.
In the not-so-large two-story office building, Dong Xuebin found the person in charge of the processing business under the guidance of the staff. He opened the password box straight to the point, "I want to polish these and make them into necklaces. Well, probably How much does it cost?"
The person in charge was startled, "Hey, they are all top-grade beads. You must have spent a million to collect them, right?"
Dong Xuebin said vaguely: "Absolutely."
"Haha, after so many years of business, this is the first time I've encountered so many 1.5 centimeters. Well, this will take some work, and the price may be a bit more expensive." The person in charge thought for a moment, "I still need to make a necklace, eh. , Well, the processing fee is 5,000, and it will take about three or four days. "
Dong Xuebin didn't have that much money, nor that much time. He touched his nose and threw out another big bag of pearls from the lockbox. "I still have a hundred good pearls here, although the quality is not as good as those thirty." But it’s worth fifteen thousand anyway. Let’s use this to offset the processing fee, but I have a request. I know that polishing and processing will not take three days. Can you hurry up and speed up the work? I want to see the necklace tonight. "
After some haggling, Dong Xuebin finally gave him not only a hundred pearls, but also an additional thousand yuan.
Wait, wait, wait...
That night.
A string of sparkling and alluring pearl necklace finally appeared in front of Dong Xuebin.
Beautiful
beautiful
Before coming to Zhuji, Dong Xuebin saw the pearl necklace being auctioned online for more than 900,000 yuan, but it was a white pearl, which was inferior to his gold pearl necklace, and the price of the pearls in his necklace was The average diameter is also a little larger than that one
One million
I'll definitely make a million this time.
