Chapter 19 Very down-to-earth!
Everyone can see that this stall owner has less skill in crafting than craftsmanship. He is a rookie, and now he is nothing more than practicing.
However, isn’t it too extravagant to practice with jade directly?
"Is it too wasteful?" Andy Lau couldn't help but whisper to Hu Yang.
Poplar looked at the jade being carved again and explained: "It's just a dry white jade, it's also a low-end jade, it's not worth much, it's just right to use it for practice."
Dry white jade is a white or light gray-white jade with a thick texture and poor transparency.
Experts' evaluation of it is: coarse, dry water, and not moist. This variety is colorless or light in color. The boundary between grains can be seen by the naked eye. Therefore, the appearance structure is rough and the use and ornamental value is low. It is a low-grade jade variety.
After saying that, he ignored the owner of the stall and turned his eyes to other things at the stall.
Two-thirds of this stall are jade materials, which have not been carved, and most of them are medium and low-end materials.
"Brother Hu, look, there is a piece of yellow here." Andy Lau said, a little fussy.
Poplar looked over and said, "That's the yellow jade I mentioned to you just now. Jade also has many colors. Generally speaking, green jade is the most common, purple ones appear noble, and yellow jade is relatively fewer."
"That must be valuable, right?"
"Scarcity is precious! It should be more valuable."
"It doesn't seem to be certain, things like jade need to be..."
...
Seeing the comments from the audience in the live broadcast room, Huyang told everyone: "Overall, yellow jade is more disadvantageous than green jade. Just now, a friend said that things are expensive because they are rare. This principle works in almost any industry. However, simply putting them on jade is a bit unreasonable.
The value of jade cannot be simply measured by color.
The most important thing about a piece of jade is their "type", such as glass, glutinous, ice, etc., which is equivalent to the texture of jade and is the most important.
No matter what color of jade, as long as it reaches the quality of glass, it is a rare treasure.
Due to the special conditions for the formation of yellow jade, the quality of yellow jade is generally not very good. Yellow jade that can reach ice type is very rare. Yellow jade with ice type is very precious and hard to find.
Generally speaking, the types of yellow jade are generally between glutinous and bean types. Common yellow jades with good quality on the market are generally glutinous.
For example, the one we see now is bean-type yellow jade, with the price ranging from 30,000 to 50,000!"
After analyzing the Populus Eucalyptus, it is better to make it simpler as possible so that everyone can understand it.
OK! Everyone understands that it is not that yellow jade is not as good as green, but yellow jade is usually not very good in terms of "quality and water", which affects the overall value.
"Who is more valuable than the same quality of green jade or yellow jade?" someone couldn't help asking.
"For example, imperial green, which is both glass type and chicken oil yellow, are very rare gem-grade jadeites. As long as the size of the fist is, they may be worth hundreds of millions. As for which side is of high value, it depends on the buyer's situation." Huyang said.
Jade of glass quality is quite rare and rare, so its value is similar.
OK! The mutton fat jade I looked at first costs 20,000 to 30,000 per gram. Now it is even more exaggerated. Glass-type jade has a big fist of hundreds of millions. It feels a bit overwhelming, no matter how you hear it, you don’t think of money as money, right?
"Is the anchor a little exaggerated?"
"That's it! Do you know how much cash is 100 million? You can load it directly in a truck."
...
Seeing these doubts, Hu Yang smiled and said, "Don't believe it. Like imperial green jade, the ring face with the size of a thumb, can be sold for tens of millions. In the past two years, a brand with a size of a palm was sold for more than one billion. The imperial green material with a size of a fist was worth more than one hundred million, which is not an exaggeration at all."
Everyone ran to search and found that they were really astonished as the anchor said, and they refreshed their understanding of jade again.
Populus euphratica walked to the shelf on the other side and took off a jade carved potted plant from it.
Andy Lau and others saw the price: 88888.
Everyone was speechless. Merchants seemed to like playing this kind of trick. The price was 666,9999,88888, etc., and the name was the so-called good intention.
A jade carving potted plant of more than 80,000 yuan is interested in it? It looks very vividly carved.
Hu Yang knocked on the counter: "Boss, collect the money!"
The middle-aged man raised his head again, surprised.
Originally, he saw that they were two young people and did not expect them to help their business, but he did not expect that they really had the financial ability to buy, and the speed was very fast.
When he saw that it was a jade-carved potted plant, which was generally carved from cyan jadeite.
Cyan jadeite is a medium-grade or medium-low-grade jadeite. It has a green color and is distributed in a vein-like manner. It is very irregular, with a thick and thin texture, and is translucent.
"It seems that there is no transparency!" Andy Lau muttered.
Before, Brother Hu told you that the quality of jade is mainly based on transparency. Although the jade carving potted plant in front of you seems to be quite good, the quality of jade is too poor, right?
Is it worth more than 80,000?
"The flower-green jadeite is just like that." Poplar said.
This kind of jade is also easy to identify. Its green shape is diverse, with a bit, twisted, stringed, spotted, flaky, etc. The green is different in density and has uncertain thickness. The distribution of green is uneven, and there is no rules to follow, which is extremely chaotic.
The owner of the file said: "My flower-like jade pot carving is delicate, with green and bright color, soft and smooth feel. The jade carving is exquisite in shape, delicate in carving, smooth and natural in lines, and has a good collection value. Or is this guy who has vision. Swipe a card? Or check? Or transfer money on mobile phone?"
After saying that, he took out a WeChat payment QR code.
The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned. Nowadays, mobile payments have really penetrated into all walks of life! They are almost everywhere.
"By the way, Alipay's is OK," he said, and took out an Alipay's collection QR code from the drawer.
Seeing this, everyone suddenly felt very friendly.
Before this, jade gave everyone a very high-end feeling. After all, what I saw just now was that it was always a few tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, which were not something that ordinary people could consume.
"Haha! It's very down-to-earth!"
“The mobile payment in China is really powerful now.”
...
Hupopotamus did not continue talking nonsense, and Alipay transferred more than 80,000 yuan, and then left with the potted plant.
After walking far away, Andy Lau asked the questions everyone wanted to know:
"Brother Hu, this jade carving potted plant is quite valuable, right?"
Hupola grinned: "It's okay, I just want this basin and jade carvings will be given to others."
