Chapter 34: Jade Selling Incident (Part )
The person who was holding Zhao Shi's hand was an old man in his sixties, looking very energetic.
Zhao Shi did not resist and followed the old man to the reception room behind the shop.
Such a big store would not do anything illegal for a little money.
What's more, Zhao Shi is not without the power to resist now.
Where are the two little girls welcoming guests?
At this moment, he looked at the boss with a dazed face as he hurriedly pulled Zhao Shi into the reception room.
"Ok?"
"Xiao Yun, that was the boss just now!"
It took a long time for the girl who received Zhao Shi to react, and she asked her companion woodenly.
"Yes!"
The other little girl nodded affirmatively.
Apart from being shocked, she had no other thoughts. Whether something happened or not, it had nothing to do with her.
What's more, they have received special training in how to treat people, so there won't be anything wrong.
The girl who received Zhao Shi also thought about the process of receiving Zhao Shi just now. After not feeling anything wrong, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Li, you take a rest, I'll go make some tea!"
Another girl said something to Wang Li who was receiving Zhao Shi, and then walked to the reception room at the back.
She wanted to see why a young man dressed in shabby clothes could make the boss look at him differently.
Is it pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?
If so, it would be nice to get to know her. Maybe one day I can become her.
What's more, the guy just now, apart from being a little older, looks pretty good and has very delicate skin.
When talking about Zhao Shi's skin, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
In fact, Zhao Shi himself did not notice that when he found his lost soul and began to accept incense and offerings, his skin, which had become rough due to years of wind and sun, had become white and tender.
Compared with the previous few days, Zhao Shi now looks at least five years younger.
In other words, Zhao Shi usually doesn't like to look in the mirror. If it were another woman, she would have noticed his difference long ago.
"Get lost, you slut, this is my job!"
Upon hearing this, the girl who received Zhao Shi retorted, straightened her clothes, took out a small mirror to fix her makeup, and walked towards the reception room with three unsteady steps.
"Pooh!"
"Slut!"
"You change boyfriends more frequently than you change clothes. And you want to climb up the social ladder? Haha!"
Looking at Wang Li who entered the reception room with her butt twisted, the girl who had just been confronted spat with disgust and cursed with disdain.
After entering the reception room, Zhao Shi calmly struggled to break free from the old man who was dragging his hand.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, I was so excited and didn't expect you to really come!" After Zhao Shi broke free, the old man reacted and apologized repeatedly.
"Come, sit down, sit down quickly!"
"Where's the tea, Xiao Wang?"
The old man asked Zhao Shi to sit in front of a tea table that looked simple and elegant, and shouted outside the reception room.
"Here we come, boss!"
Soon, the girl who was receiving Zhao Shi pushed the door open and walked in. She took out a pack of tea from the cupboard, made tea for the two of them, and stood aside.
She wanted to see what was so wrong about this shabby-dressed young man that he deserved the boss to treat him like this. You know, even when those wealthy bosses came, her own boss was also very reserved.
It's rare to see your boss get carried away.
"Okay, Xiao Wang, get out now!"
But just as she stood up, she was impatiently kicked out by the boss.
No tact at all!
When he receives distinguished guests, does he ever allow outsiders to come in?
The most important issue involves confidentiality. No matter whether it is selling or buying, some customers do not want anyone other than themselves to know, because once it is leaked, it may cause an earthquake at some level.
"Yes, boss!" The girl did not dare to hesitate, responded and walked out of the reception room.
"Today's waiters are so ignorant. I'm sorry to embarrass you, Mr. Zhao!" After the old man finished talking about the little girl, he turned around and said to Zhao Shi.
At this time, the little girl had not yet walked out. When she heard this, her whole body trembled and a bitter look appeared on her face.
Because she worked at Pinyuzhai and followed a very powerful boss, she felt that she was also very awesome, but the boss's words completely brought her back to reality.
She is just a waitress after all, no matter how powerful her boss is, she is just a waitress.
It seems that she is on the right path.
She must rise to the top and become someone superior, someone that even the boss would treat with respect.
Of course, neither Zhao Shi nor the old man knew that a little girl had so much inner drama.
But even if I knew, I wouldn't care.
Zhao Shi?
There will be no intersection with this little girl.
Old man?
I have experienced too many things in my life and have seen too many powerful people, such as a rich man marrying a poor girl, a young girl becoming a wealthy woman in a blink of an eye, etc. These are just novels and stories. In reality, there are no such examples at all.
If there is, it only proves that the so-called powerful person has not really entered the circle of the powerful.
Just a nouveau riche.
"Mr. Zhao, did you bring the jade pendant?" The old man spoke hurriedly after the little girl left.
eager!
Urgent indeed!
He is where he is today thanks to his eyes.
The anchor's appraisal was absolutely correct, even if it was him who made the appraisal.
But there is a deviation in the way they understand the value of an item.
The host considered the value of this jade pendant from the perspective of an appraiser, but he considered it from the perspective of collection and commercial value.
Indeed, in terms of value, the jade pendant is worth a million. After the sculptor becomes famous, his value can be increased tenfold. This is absolutely true.
But from a commercial and collection perspective.
The value of the jade pendant was greatly underestimated by the anchor.
This is caused by the limitation of vision, not because the host doesn't know the value of things.
This jade pendant.
Just the material.
The jade heart of top-grade mutton-fat white jade!
What is this concept.
There is no doubt that a jade core this big and this fine is made from top-grade mutton-fat white jade weighing more than ten kilograms.
This kind of mutton-fat white jade is absolutely the kind without any flaws.
There is no flaw in the whole body, and it is more than ten layers of mutton-fat white jade, which is extremely rare.
The reason why it is said to be flawless is that if there is any flaw, it may extend to the core of the jade, and it will not be considered top-grade mutton-fat white jade.
A piece of top-grade mutton-fat white jade weighing more than ten kilograms is truly priceless.
If you put it up for auction, it would easily fetch hundreds of millions.
If you want to take out the jade core intact, you need to perform destructive cutting on the jade.
With ordinary cutting, many scraps can be made into bracelets, or they can be carved into jade pendants and pendants according to the shape. Even the small scraps can be made into necklaces or beads.
Destructive cutting is different.
What is needed is to protect the jade core to the greatest extent possible, and other materials can be ignored. In this way, the material that can be made into bracelets cannot be made into bracelets, and the material for making jade pendants and pendants must be at least halved.
These need to be included in the cost of the jade heart.
and!
Most importantly, such extravagant behavior simply does not exist in modern society.
No one would do this, let alone the rich and powerful.
They want commercial value.
Rather than so-called interests.
Ancient!
Only in ancient times!
In other words, whether it is the core of the jade or the entire piece of material, they are all ancient jade.
Even in ancient times, not everyone had the financial resources to do so.
You know, such a large piece of mutton-fat white jade was also a priceless treasure in ancient times and was generally considered a tribute.
A tribute!
It is easy to imagine who can use such a large piece of material to only take the jade core.
As long as its source can be found, even if it is recorded in some unofficial history, the value of this material is at least hundreds of millions, and we can even infer some situations in ancient times.
Among the known emperors, there are carpenter emperors, calligrapher emperors, poet emperors, monk emperors, emperors who like beautiful women, and emperors who like killing people. However, there is no record of an emperor who is a master of carving. Apparently, this emperor was also strictly disciplined, which caused such a talent to be wasted.
In this case, this jade pendant is likely to be the only one in existence.
Don’t say anything else!
Just throwing this gimmick out there is enough to cause an earthquake in the collecting world.
Even if he couldn't find the source, the quality of the jade itself would not make him lose money, and there would be no problem in making several times the profit.
