Chapter 162 How to sell jade scraps
The proprietress led them to the place where the ingredients were kept, while chatting. Knowing that they were big customers, she was extremely enthusiastic. She would briefly introduce everything they saw casually.
"I know the one you mentioned. The best ice violets are close to the glass ones. The color and planting water are really good, like a dreamy pink-purple sky. They are more expensive than the imperial purple. The main reason is that the emperor sells color, and the planting water is weaker. A little.”
Gu Shaoyu turned over the board on the table twice.
"There is also a ring, and I made earrings out of the leftover materials. A set costs 200 million. Not many people have such financial resources."
There are many people at home and abroad who spend eight figures to buy jewelry. Ten or twenty million is not money for them. They have two small goals to consider even if they have money.
"These boards were found at Miss Shen's request. In fact, we still have a few purple bracelets at the bottom of the box, but the rings are too big and they are not suitable for Miss Shen."
The proprietress held a small plastic basket, with the cheapest panels in it costing RMB 800,000. They were basically collection-level items.
The high-end products I've seen here, priced at more than 200,000 yuan, are better than those used in Daqi palace jewelry.
But the Hetian jade in Daqi is just the opposite. It is difficult to find similar high-quality jade in modern times.
Because there are jade mines in Daqi, but no jade mines.
The emeralds were all brought as tribute and had been polished before being delivered.
In addition, productivity was low in ancient times. Even if there was good material in the ground, it might not be possible to dig it out. Moreover, there were no such good polishing equipment in ancient times.
Therefore, the Daqi palace jewelry purchased from the trade are of excellent carving and good color, but the kind is average and some have cotton.
After looking at so many boards and admiring two finished bracelets, Shen You sighed in her heart, they are beautiful and expensive.
No wonder the status of jade is difficult to replace.
This thing is available in red, yellow, blue, green and purple, but it is very jewelry-like. Bracelets made of cheap agate and natural stones are easy to break, and the difference in texture can be seen at a glance.
It’s really beautiful, or else starting from the tribal period, our ancestors like to decorate it with beautiful jade stones.
Rich Shen You must also like good things.
If conditions allowed, she would want to go mining in ancient times and cooperate with the Prince of Daqi, using gems that were good-looking and useless in exchange for materials that would allow Daqi to develop.
The main reason is that jadeite is more expensive than Hetian jade in the market.
Tens of millions of jadeite is much more than Hetian jade of the same price. It is not worth trading with jade mines. It is not easy to sell goods worth one or two million.
It is better to just get the finished product, the carving work of the palace craftsmen is also valuable.
Yes, Shen You wanted to come here because he also wanted to understand the market and see the goods at different prices, so that he would be more confident in collecting things in the future.
Finally, she picked out two boards. One was a rich purple, but not transparent, and the other was a lighter purple with a touch of blue mixed with it. It was an ice type, which meant it was as clear as ice.
The price is about the same.
"Most of the purple goods will be a little gray, but according to Miss Shen's budget, this problem will not occur." The proprietress continued to introduce,
"The planting water on your hand is very good, so the color is not that strong. This is also the characteristic of purple goods. The imperial purple sold for more than 10 million yuan at auction is not transparent, and there is also a little bit of cotton, so the color is transparent. Degrees need to be chosen.”
The proprietress took out a light to let her see the internal structure. Shen You used the purple light she brought to see if any technology or ruthless dyeing had been used.
After careful consideration, Shen You chose the latter. She had a lot of jade in her collection, including green jade hairpins. She wanted Gao Bing's dreamy blue-purple jade.
"This piece includes the bracelet core. The seven-digit number is six hundred and two. If you don't need the bracelet core, you can save eighty."
This is the price offered by the landlady. "This is not the first day we have met. Please give me a good price." Gu Shaoyu said, "This bracelet core is only worth 80?"
"I haven't finished talking yet." The landlady smiled, "Besides, when we do business, if we just want a bracelet, we must get a discount on the bracelet core."
"Since you are Mr. Gu's friend, and Miss Shen is also my friend, of course there is a discount, six hundred with a bracelet core. If you look at the bracelet core carved into a pendant, you can see more than a hundred. This price is a good deal."< br>
Gu Shaoyu and Shen You exchanged glances and reported the number, "560."
"You're cutting too hard, please add more."
This means it can be cut. If not, it will be rejected in one bite.
Those who can buy high-end goods are big customers, and their antique collection circle is full of big guys. Not only are they buying sky-high prices for wood and porcelain, but the landlady also wants to negotiate a deal.
Gu Shaoyu struck while the iron was hot, "Including the bracelet core, the price at auction is almost the same. You still have to pay a commission. I never raise random prices. If I can't get the price, I won't waste time talking about it."
"Okay." The landlady pretended to be helpless and sighed, "Young Master Gu has already spoken, so I can't raise the price any more."
After saying that, he turned to Shen You and said with a smile, "Miss Shen really has a good eye. She immediately fell in love with our most expensive purple board. The only thing more expensive than this is a green one."
After hearing that Shen You wanted to divide it into two thin bracelets, the lady boss thought she had heard wrongly.
The boss also looked at her with dull eyes and quickly advised,
"Miss Shen, if you want to play with jingle bracelets, just use cheaper materials. It is really rare for such a perfect material to produce a formal round bracelet. If you want to cut it, the market price will be 50% off."< br>
What kind of rich and powerful behavior this was, they felt heartbroken when they saw it.
"He's right. Just cut the one that costs one or two hundred dollars and forget about this one. You can't make two formal round bracelets after cutting them, otherwise it's okay to make a pair."
"Don't be nervous, I just asked casually if I could come out." Shen You reassured them.
It was only with a budget of two to three hundred that she thought it would be feasible. Who knew that the more she looked at it, the more expensive it would become.
I thought, if you have money, you can buy everything, why not buy the one you like the most.
The boss and his wife both breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, Shen You got the pressed bracelet core first
"Ms. Shen, you have made 50 rings. What do you want to do with the remaining bracelet cores and scraps? We can do simple crafts for you for free, and we can also give you discounts for complex ones."
"Che Zhuzi." Shen You didn't hesitate.
The landlady was stunned again. If she hadn't paid, she would have thought she was just joking with her.
Such a beautiful bracelet core, she wants to make beads?
Last time I heard that someone was taking Hetian jade seeds, which were of very good quality, and had to turn them into beads. Even if they couldn't make a bracelet, it seemed like they were from their circle.
"Give me a small butterfly-shaped piece with holes from this scrap piece of material."
She planned to sell the small butterfly carved from scraps to the rich woman of Daqi to get some blood.
"Do you have any other beads here? I'd like to match some more, at a price of 100,000 pieces."
When the time comes, we will sell them together to Daqi for the price of one hundred taels of gold.
"Yes, there are some, but not too many." The proprietress took Shen You to choose.
