Chapter 2013 (1/2)
When the sun rose the next day, the alarm clock at Zhang Feng's bedside rang. The harsh bell was deafening, and Zhang Feng had to get up. He set the alarm clock to the maximum last night in order to get up early today. The auction starts at nine o'clock. He has to get ready.
After washing everything, Zhang Feng went directly to the jade Office of mingyuzhai. Today is a special day. The manager got up early. It was only bright at this time, but the office was busy. Countless people came in and out. The manager was surrounded by a group of people. He had to wait for his signature to take the jade to each auction venue.
”Let's go! Master Lei Liu is in the vault. Show him the manager's signature and he will give you the jade. Take it and go quickly. There are many people behind.” a small attendant next to the manager shouted.
Zhang Feng nodded when he heard this. He thought the vault was not open, so he came to the manager. Now he knows that the vault has been opened. Wouldn't it be good for him to go directly? And the Lei Liu in the little attendant's mouth is not the man who opened the vault for him with the manager yesterday? Then he must recognize himself.
As for the signature confirmation? Doesn't he have a black card? So Zhang Feng took a look at the busy manager and turned to the direction of the vault.
Yesterday, I wanted to explore the market of jade in Jiangshi first, and then deal with those jade with the highest value, but the time was too short. Although she met Zheng Qing, she also told herself that she was always determined to be this person, but he was not in beautiful paradise.
Today is the auction. If you miss today and don't know when to sell the jade, of course, Zhang Feng can sell it on the black market, but there is more water in that place and there is a greater possibility of being cheated. After all, mingyuzhai is a legitimate way. Even if you cheat, you won't cheat too much, The key is that he can go to an auction to estimate the market of jade in Jiangshi.
In fact, the market of jade is different from every place. For example, when Zhang Feng was in China, the most expensive kind of jade was amber jade, because there was a lack of this kind of jade in that area of China. After all, rare things are more expensive. Moreover, there is a legend in China that amber jade is ancestral jade, which is the divine jade used by the ancestors who lived here thousands of years ago, which can ensure longevity and well-being, Therefore, amber jade in Huashi is better to be produced locally, and foreign ones are not worth money.
Besides Baotou, Zhang Feng and his friends opened two antique jade spots there before, so they also have a deep understanding of the jade species there. Baotou's main business is jadeite. Affected by customs, Baotou people think that jadeite color is the most valuable color. Take Baotou people's words, that is, ”gold is not as valuable as jadeite.”
Of course, this sentence is wrong. Gold is more expensive than jadeite at any time, but people in Baotou really love jadeite.
This is not superstitious. Generally speaking, whether people raise jade or jade raise people, aren't there some superstitious elements? After all, there are many legends about jade, so the jade market in different places is also very different. The jade you are proud of here may be worthless in another place.
So Zhang Feng wants to find a channel to get a good understanding of the jade in Jiangshi, which is also very necessary for the antique store he is about to open. If he doesn't even know the jade market, what antique store will he open?
Zhang Feng thought that he had come to the door of the vault. It was busy and chaotic, but people gathered at the door. No one entered the vault. Only a few strong men were busy counting jade.
”Three stores in the Eastern District, boss Qian, fifteen jade pieces, counting is completed.” at the door stood an old man with a pair of old-fashioned round frame glasses, holding a large brush and the same thing as an account book. It should be the person in charge of the accounts in mingyuzhai.
A man in the crowd was named, immediately ran out excitedly, held his hands high to prove that the old man in charge of the accounts called himself, and then rushed into the vault with excitement on his face. The others heard that it was not themselves this time. They all booed and urged whether they could hurry up.
Zhang Feng came to the old accountant and said, ”I want to go in and pick up a jade. You can arrange it for me.” Zhang Feng said directly, but the people around him thought he was a fool. After all, there are so many people waiting here. If they can go in with a word, what are they waiting for here? They're not stupid!
The old accountant lowered his eyes and narrowed his eyes at Zhang Feng. The old accountant thought it must be a big man who dared to talk to him like this. Unexpectedly, after reading it for a long time, he found that he didn't know the man in front of him at all. He thought it must be the man who saved a stone here and took himself as an uncle. He saw many such people and didn't understand any rules.
