Such a leisurely morning was naturally a bit boring, so in the afternoon, Yang Qi did not go to the exhibition, but went to the wool shop outside.
"It's good this way. I feel embarrassed to compete with Liu Yang and the others for those raw materials. But it's different here." Xie Guangyao said.
The rough materials at the exhibition are almost all the focus of competition among major jewelers. Xie Guangyao can also go to bid, but since Liu Yang also wants to bid, it is difficult for him to make a bid.
The same goes for Yang Qi. As a gambling consultant for Shen's Jewelry, he must first provide advice to Shen's Jewelry, and then he can participate in the auction after Shen Yuxuan confirms it. Otherwise, it would be a violation of professional ethics. Because the jade industry is somewhat similar to the antique industry, there are no legal constraints, and it depends more on the self-discipline of the gambling consultant.
For example, if a gambling consultant cheats his employer, no one will hire him as a gambling consultant in the future. Even if he loses a lot of money and is fired, it will be very difficult for him to join another jewelry company. This industry almost relies on one's own reputation, so gambling masters naturally cherish their wings very much.
"I think you want to untie two pieces of jade." Yang Qi curled his lips and said with some disapproval.
"You still understand." Xie Guangyao smiled and did not argue. He was really worried about letting him go alone to find the raw materials. He was not afraid of losing the bet, but he was afraid of encountering fake raw materials.
After the incident of fake wool materials and the start of the exhibition, the wool material shops in Songpa Town have become noticeably quieter. After all, the wool materials at the exhibition are more or less guaranteed, while the wool materials in these shops are not so guaranteed.
Even in the largest raw material shop in Songpa Town, the raw material shop owned by the Naichai family, the raw materials in the shop are not completely traceable.
"Let me make it clear first, I'm just helping you with advice, and you have to choose the raw materials yourself." Yang Qi said lightly.
"I understand." Xie Guangyao smiled and turned to select the raw materials.
"Brother Zhou, do you want to pick out a few pieces of raw materials to try?" Yang Qi looked at Zhou Hai who was standing aside.
"I don't need that. I already made two hundred thousand last time. That's enough." Zhou Hai smiled and shook his head.
Seeing this, Yang Qi did not force it. He also knew that because of meeting Liu Xiangnan, Shen Yuxuan had ordered Zhou Hai to follow Yang Qi closely to prevent Yang Qi from getting into trouble. Yang Qi was now in a relationship with Shen's Jewelry. Even Liu's Jewelry needed Yang Qi's help, so Yang Qi's safety was the most important thing.
Yang Qi quickly picked up the rough materials. The value of the whole bet rough materials is generally not high, and the price is almost calculated by the size. Unless there are some whole bet rough materials with special appearance, the value of the same size will not differ too much. Therefore, the profit of counterfeiting whole bet rough materials will not be too great, so the number of fake whole bet rough materials is much less.
Of course, even if the quality of the fully betted rough material is good, the chance of it failing is worse than that of the half-betted rough material. You must know that the half-betted rough material is all green. Although it may not necessarily increase in value, at least there is jadeite in it. I just don't know whether the jadeite is valuable.
In this case, the price of semi-gambled raw materials will naturally be high.
Yang Qi selected the rough materials very quickly, and soon Zhou Hai had to push the cart and follow Yang Qi, because he could no longer hold the gambling stones that Yang Qi selected.
"The quality of the raw materials in Myanmar is indeed better than that in China, but there are still too few top-quality jadeite." Yang Qi glanced at the raw materials in the cart and shook his head slightly.
This time he picked more than ten pieces of raw materials, but among these ten pieces, only three pieces contained high ice type. The others were ice type and glutinous type. Although their value was not low, they were much worse than high ice type.
"Yang Qi, what do you think of this piece of raw material?" At this moment, Xie Guangyao, who was not far away, walked over holding a piece of raw material the size of his head.
"This piece of rough material..." Looking at the rough material in Xie Guangyao's hand, Yang Qi's mouth twitched involuntarily. The richness of the heaven and earth vitality of this piece of rough material has actually reached the level of high ice grade.
He selected hundreds of rough stones before picking out three pieces containing high ice grade rough stones. Xie Guangyao just picked a few at random and found a piece of high ice grade rough stone. The gap is too big.
"Why, this piece of raw material is not good?" Xie Guangyao couldn't help but speak when he saw Yang Qi stunned.
"How about you sell it to me at twice the price?" Yang Qi rolled his eyes at Xie Guangyao.
Hearing this, Xie Guangyao's eyes lit up. Since Yang Qi said this, it was obvious that Yang Qi was very optimistic about this piece of raw material.
"Take another look." Xie Guangyao said quickly.
Yang Qi nodded. During this period, he sensed the energy of heaven and earth and knew that the rough material contained jadeite. Then he combined the rough material with his knowledge of gambling on jadeite to verify it. During this period, his gambling on jadeite level has also improved a lot, and he is no longer comparable to the rookie gambling on jadeite before.
Yang Qi observed carefully. This is how gambling on stones is. Practice is extremely important. It can be said that the conditions of each piece of rough material are different. Only by seeing more can one discover the patterns in the general situation.
"This rough material is good, it should be a good jadeite." Yang Qi said with a smile.
"That's great. I'll open it when we get back to the hotel and let Yoko see how lucky I am." Xie Guangyao laughed. He admired Yang Qi very much. As soon as Yang Qi opened his mouth, he was sure that this piece of rough material would definitely produce jadeite.
After the two of them paid for the selected raw materials, they left the store. Zhou Hai, who was behind them, pushed a cart and followed closely behind Yang Qi and the others.
"No, my father said that this piece of raw material must be sold for 600,000 yuan." At this moment, a weak voice suddenly came from a stall not far away.
"Kid, I've told you, this is all raw material, it can't be sold for 600,000. I'll give you 100,000 just for the python pattern on this piece of raw material." The man in front of the stall said with some displeasure.
"Not for sale." The girl said calmly.
"You..." The man's face darkened and he was about to get angry when suddenly someone grabbed his shoulders. The next moment, two figures walked over. They were Yang Qi and the other two who heard the voice.
When the man saw Zhou Hai's appearance, he knew that Zhou Hai was a bodyguard. Almost all bodyguards in Songpa Town were equipped with guns. The man immediately pretended nothing had happened and quickly left the stall.
"I want this piece of raw material." Yang Qi's eyes fell on the raw material in front of the stall and said lightly.
"Six hundred thousand."
"Okay." Yang Qi nodded slightly.
"I want cash." Upon hearing this, the girl looked at Yang Qi and said.
cash
Yang Qi was stunned. In the jade world, some raw materials can only be purchased with cash, but this situation mostly occurs in Yunnan. To put it bluntly, the sources of these raw materials are not legitimate. That's why cash transactions are used. Cash transactions are rarely used in jade events like the Myanmar Public Auction. And it's 600,000 in cash. This is not in China. For a while, Yang Qi really couldn't take it out.
"Can't you transfer money or pay by check?" Yang Qi frowned.
"Cash only," the girl said calmly.
Looking at the gambling stone in front of the stall, Yang Qi frowned slightly. The heaven and earth energy contained in this gambling stone is even more pure than the high ice emerald. In this case, it is very likely to be the best jadeite, the glass type! (To be continued)
