Chapter 367 The Joy of Digging Jade
Xiao Xingyun was unfamiliar with the place here, so if he could use money to open up the situation, he would be happy to save trouble.
"Okay, I can give you an introduction fee, but you must introduce me to experienced workers. I want 20 workers who pick jade, two chefs, and a handyman who goes back and forth to buy things."
Kurban is a familiar man, and said in half-baked Chinese: "No problem, I am very familiar with this area. I can bring you the workers you want tomorrow. By the way, do you want to rent a machine? I have a way too.
, they are all new machines and not easy to break down."
"Very good, I'll leave this matter to you, but the price is convenient, so you have to help me keep it down, otherwise I might find someone else."
Xiao Xingyun said, pointing to other jade merchants nearby. If you can be a jade merchant here, you will naturally have good connections.
What Kurban can do, other jade merchants can also do.
"Don't worry, I, Kurban, am the most honest. If you don't believe me, you are asking around." He patted his chest and assured Xiao Xingyun.
"Haha, I believe in Adasi!" Xiao Xingyun patted his shoulder and smiled harmlessly.
I hope he doesn't play tricks. If he dares to play tricks, Xiao Xingyun will dare to use superpowers and hypnotic control.
With that said, the two exchanged mobile phone numbers, and the matter was finally settled.
Kurban did not leave. He called on the spot and chattered a lot of Uyghur. Xiao Xingyun didn't understand and simply stopped listening.
Run to the side and watch others digging for jade.
During the day, the river beach thawed, so they used special shovels to dig bit by bit. The places they dug were all dug by excavators, and the soil was relatively soft.
At this time, a middle-aged woman cheered and dug up a piece of huangqin material the size of a pigeon egg.
A young jade merchant of Han nationality nearby ran over immediately and asked, "Let me take a look."
As he spoke, he took the small piece of material, took out the flashlight, and shone it back and forth.
"How much can we pay?" he asked.
The middle-aged woman hesitated and said, "200!"
The jade merchant bargained: "20!"
"No, no, it's too little! We won't sell it for less than 100!"
"30!"
"Too little, add more!"
"38!"
"40, you give me 40 and sell it."
"Deal!" The young jade merchant took out two 20 bills and handed them to the other party.
Xiao Xingyun almost laughed out loud when he heard their bargaining process.
I have always claimed to be a good bargainer, but compared to this jade merchant, I am still a bit inferior.
"Brother, you are bargaining so much, aren't you afraid of getting beaten?" Xiao Xingyun said with a smile.
"Haha, everyone chops like this. If I don't chop harder, I won't make money." The young jade merchant replied cheerfully.
"If you sell it to others, how much will this piece of Huangqin material cost?"
"This one won't work. It has stiff skin. I'll sell it to a larger jade merchant for about 130 yuan."
Xiao Xingyun nodded: "Yeah, almost. When I get the goods from the market, this small piece costs at least two to three hundred. And when I make jade carvings and sell them in the store, it costs at least two thousand or more."
The young jade merchant praised: "You are an expert. This boss doesn't belong here. What are you doing here?"
"Open the mine!" Xiao Xingyun pointed to the low mine not far away and said, "That is my mine!"
"Isn't that place the mine in Tajigul?" the young jade merchant said in surprise.
"Now it belongs to me. By the way, let's get to know each other. I'm Xiao Xingyun, from Shenghai."
"Hello, my name is Huang Xueyi. My hometown is Wan Province. I have been a jade merchant in Xijiang for several years. I used to be a jade farmer digging for jade, but later I found that being a jade merchant was more profitable, so I changed my career."
The two shook hands and introduced each other.
"How about it, how much can you earn per month as a jade merchant?" This is a bit abrupt, but many people are curious about this industry, and there is no pressure when asking about the income.
"Hey, I am just a small business. I can't compare with you as a boss. When business is not good, I make about 10,000 yuan a month. When business is good, I also make 40,000 to 50,000 yuan."
"Hey, this is a lot of income, much better than most people who work. By the way, where did you buy these tools for digging jade? I'm waiting for the workers and machinery to arrive today. I have nothing to do, and I also want to experience the work of a jade farmer.
Life."
"I bought it at a hardware store outside... Just wait, I'll ask an acquaintance to borrow a tool for you to use first."
Huang Xueyi was a warm-hearted person. In a blink of an eye, he borrowed a small rake from someone else. It had three teeth and was very suitable for digging jade.
There are too many large and small stones on the river beach. The surface is a layer of stones, and the bottom is nothing but stones.
It is extremely difficult to find very few jade seeds among these stones.
Even if Xiao Xingyun uses clairvoyance, he still has a hard time finding it.
It took me thirty seconds to see a piece of black jade the size of an egg on the ground. I didn't know how deep it was, but I was sure it was just below.
Without saying a word, Xiao Xingyun waved the rake and started digging.
Half a foot, one foot, one and a half feet... When I was so tired that my forehead was sweating, I finally dug out the piece of black jade.
Wiping off the muddy water on the surface reveals the full color of the black jade, with a white flower in the black. The jade quality is delicate, the skin is smooth and crack-free, and there is a piece of dead skin the size of a fingernail, but it does not affect the overall jade quality.
A jade merchant happened to be passing by in the imperial capital. When he saw Xiao Xingyun digging out a piece of black jade, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The man came over and asked, "Did you just dig it up? Do you want to sell it? Give me a price."
Perhaps because he saw that Xiao Xingyun's clothes were different from those of ordinary jade farmers, his tone was more polite.
What's more, Xiao Xingyun was followed by two sharp-eyed men who looked like bodyguards.
Xiao Xingyun smiled and said: "Haha, this is the first piece of jade I dug out in my life. It must be kept as a souvenir. It cannot be sold, and I am reluctant to sell it."
"It's a pity, this piece of black jade is worth thousands." The jade merchant said, and then reluctantly left.
Xiao Xingyun secretly curled his lips, "How many thousands of dollars? You can only look at it!"
A white-flowered ink jade seed material with such a high degree of perfection can cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan on the market. If master Wu Changyou carves it himself, the price can be doubled again. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
Xiao Xingyun is not short of money. No matter how much money others give him, he will not sell it.
Huang Xueyi heard the noise and ran over. When he saw the white-flowered ink jade in Xiao Xingyun's hand, he was shocked and said: "Brother Xiao is so lucky. How much effort does it take to dig out such a good piece of jade and sell it to those big jade merchants? At least
Tens of thousands.”
"Haha, I just dug casually, thanks to you lending me the tools, otherwise I would have missed this opportunity." Xiao Xingyun said with a smile.
"No, this is just because you are lucky, Brother Xiao. Some people are unlucky and can't find a piece of good material even after a month of digging."
Huang Xueyi knew that Xiao Xingyun was a mine operator and had plenty of money, so he was very sensible and did not mention the purchase of this piece of jade.
Xiao Xingyun put the dug seeds into his pocket and said to Li Kewei and Ding Bing behind him: "Are you two bored just standing around? If you are bored, borrow a tool and let's dig jade together!"
