Chapter 152 Five hundred
"Thirty thousand??This price is too high..." Just as Fang Yi was about to nod, Yu Xuan, who had been silent behind him, finally spoke. ≤≤Xiao≤Speak,
"Oh, old man, 30,000 is really not expensive..."
Hearing Yu Xuan's words, the middle-aged man said with great sincerity: "Look, such a large piece of material can almost be opened with a pair of bracelets. A table of this quality can be sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan, right? You can take out the rest of the things to make some pendants, I'm losing money and gaining publicity..."
"Is that true?" Yu Xuan looked at the man and smiled without saying a word, but after staring at Yu Xuan's eyes for a while, the middle-aged man's eyes became a little dodged.
"Old Yu, are there any problems?" Fang Yi had been looking at the material in his hand just now, but he didn't pay much attention to the jade seller. After hearing the conversation between Yu Xuan and the middle-aged man, Fang Yi saw a hint of clue.
"No problem, you can buy this jade, but it has to be as much as I said..." Yu Xuan smiled at the middle-aged man.
"Sad, old man, tell me a price. If it's right, I'll sell it!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, his face hurt. Seeing Yu Xuan's expression, he realized something was wrong in his heart. Today, he might have bumped into the hands of an expert.
"You said this..."
Yu Xuan didn't even look at the piece of material on Fang Yi's hand, but instead imitated the middle-aged man and slapped him and said, "How is it? Do you sell it at this price?"
"Five...5,000?"
The middle-aged man showed a hint of anger on his face, and reached out and snatched the piece of material from Fang Yi's hand, saying, "Old man, although he asked for a lot of money to pay it back on the spot, the price you gave was too unreliable. I can accompany my grandma's house for 5,000 yuan..."
"I'm not talking about five thousand, five hundred..." Just as the man was trying to put the material in his bag, Yu Xuan said with a smile.
"Five...500?" As soon as Yu Xuan said this, even Fang Yi was shocked. He originally thought that Old Yu was ruthless in his heart. Unexpectedly, the slap actually meant five hundred.
"Old man, are you kidding?" Hearing Yu Xuan's words, the middle-aged man's indignation just now disappeared.
"Sell... or not?" Yu Xuan shook his head and asked again.
"Sell. Today I'm going to give you face to the old man..." The middle-aged man knew he had met an expert, but five hundred yuan was also money. His "material" could be worth ten yuan at best, and it would be fifty times more than it would be sold for five hundred yuan.
"Fang Yi. Give the money!" Yu Xuan looked at Fang Yi with his eyes.
"Hey, you don't have to give it to you. Fang Yi has to let this five hundred yuan..." Seeing Lan Lian signaling Song Qing to get the money, Yu Xuan stopped her.
"Okay, this is five hundred, you should keep it..." Seeing Yu Xuan's actions, Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, then understood, took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out five hundred yuan and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"Old man, you are a master!"
After taking the five hundred yuan handed over by Fang Yi, the middle-aged man handed the stone to Fang Yi's hand, then raised his thumbs to Yu Xuan, turned around and shouted to his colleagues: "It's a collapse, it's an expert, my buddy is embarrassing today..."
When the middle-aged man was dealing with Fang Yi just now, those people were not far away, and they saw clearly what happened. When they heard the middle-aged man shouting, they all dispersed.
"Let's go, don't stand here, go in and say something..." Seeing Fang Yi still being stunned when he saw that he was holding the stone, Yu Xuan raised his foot to the hotel.
"Let's sit there first. When someone comes down to pick it up..." After entering the hotel, Yu Xuan pointed to a row of sofas in the corner and took everyone over.
"Old Yu, what's going on?"
Yu Xuan, Sun Lianda and even Fang Yi understood what happened just now, but Lan Lian and her assistant Song Qing were confused. They didn't know what happened, from the price of 50,000 to buying 500 items. Lan Lian had never encountered such a thing before when she grew up so old.
"Let Fang Yi talk about this..." Yu Xuan pointed at Fang Yi.
"Dr. Lan, I took the medicine for this jade..." Fang Yi weighed the stone in his hand, and his face was full of bitter smile.
"Take medicine? What medicine?" Lan Lian still didn't understand Fang Yi's words.
"In our industry, if you are deceived and bought fake things, it is called taking medicine..." Fang Yi could only explain a few more words to a thorough layman like Lan Lian.
"This... is this thing fake? I think it's quite real?" Although Lan Lian is not involved in the jade business, there are many top-notch white jades in her jewelry. She also took a look when Fang Yi was tying a flashlight just now, and she felt that this jade was very good.
"Since it's fake, why did Teacher Yu ask you to buy it?" Lan Lian continued to ask.
"I also look quite like the real thing, but this thing is indeed fake..." Fang Yi said with a shameful look on his face: "The reason why Teacher Yu asked me to buy it is to let me remember this lesson. Sometimes it may not be true if I see it..."
"Well, you kid, finally have some insight..."
It was not until Fang Yi said this that Yu Xuan nodded and said, "If you want to learn antiques well, just listen to some theoretical things, it is useless. You must be more attentive and read more. Today, you only understand theories and have never seen the real thing, so you think it is real..."
Yu Xuan reached out to ask for the "material", lit it with a flashlight, and said, "Did you see it? It's so perfect under the strong light? This is abnormal in itself. And haven't you seen the crystals on the edge? It's obviously a fake object at a glance, but you actually bargained with the other party?"
Yu Xuan became more angry as he said that. The stone in his hand was actually the weathered white quartz stone on the Gobi Desert. It was taken home to dye it in tons by unscrupulous businessmen. Generally, people who are more familiar with jade can tell the authenticity of it at a glance.
However, the jade meat in the window of this kind of quartz stone is very good, so some half-baked "experts" who like to pick up big holes and have low levels of attention will often get hit and take medicine. If Yu Xuan hadn't followed him today, Fang Yi would probably have taught him an expensive tuition fee.
"Take it, keep it for a souvenir..."
Yu Xuan pointed out some basic points of this fake jade to Fang Yi, and threw the stone to him and said, "Fang Yi, you must remember that in the antique market, you will always buy and sell without selling essence. Some people will never encounter such things as bargaining in their entire lives, so when you encounter such obvious advantage, you must think twice before doing it..."
Although Fang Yi is not his disciple, Yu Xuan has always liked to support his younger generations. In addition, Sun Lianda's relationship, so he did not hide his own personal information and told Fang Yi about some of the tricks in the industry.
There are many kinds of jade counterfeiting, and what Yu Xuan just mentioned is just one of them.
There is also artificial stone jade, which means drilling holes in the stone. The lower end is to dig holes directly in some stones, injecting white resin or some kind of emulsified glass, and the higher end is to use serpentine stone to dig holes. However, the latter is filled with real Hetian jade. The jade made by the latter is very realistic, and it is easy for some experts to miss it.
Yu Xuan casually told Fang Yi seven or eight ways to counterfeit jade. This was just a fraud of nephrite. If the counterfeiting of jade was added, Yu Xuan would probably not be able to explain it clearly to Fang Yi for a while.
"Old Yu, I understand..."
After listening to Yu Xuan's words, Fang Yi nodded seriously. In the past, he also heard Zhao Hongtao talk about many scams in the industry, but it sounds like one thing, but in fact, it is another thing when encountering it. Only after experiencing a lot can you tell the truth and the false at a glance like Yu Xuan.
"Grandma, I originally wanted to distinguish based on the knowledge I learned, but I didn't expect to lose such a big person. I'd better try how it reacts to true qi?" Looking at the jade in my hand, Fang Yi felt a little burning. With a thought, he swam a wisp of true qi into his hand and instilled it into the quartz stone.
"It cannot carry true qi at all. Old Yu is right. This is a quartz stone..." It was just a matter of Fang Yi's thought. He then felt that the true qi wandered around the stone and returned to his body.
