Chapter Thirty-Five: There Are Tricks Everywhere
Zhu Yu drove a pickup truck to the address given by Meng Xiaofan and found that it was a typical single-family house with a courtyard.
There were several cars parked at the door, the door was open, and many people were walking around inside.
Zhu Yu's sharp eyes saw Meng Xiaofan and Song Yan at the door.
He parked the car, got out of the car with the tools, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Song Yan said unhappily:
"Why did you come?"
Zhu Yu smiled:
"Didn't you say this is the time? I came a few minutes earlier."
Song Yan rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
Others who came were afraid that the good stuff would be picked away, so they all came early.
It's a good thing for this one, he didn't come until the right time, so he's not afraid of not gaining anything?
Meng Xiaofan smiled and said:
"Okay, the ingredients here are all laid out. Zhu Yu, you just come in and take a look and tell us about it. We are both laymen, and we will gain knowledge by following you."
Zhu Yu felt a little guilty and waved his hands hastily:
"I'm a layman too, so I just rely on my feelings."
Song Yan curled her lips, obviously not believing it.
Zhu Yu's net worth has reached 200,000 yuan. This time he came with 150,000 yuan, which should be enough.
There are three rows of tables in the yard, on which are placed jade wool materials for large windows, materials for small windows and jade wool materials for small windows.
The ones with large windows are the kind where the wool is cut in half to expose all the jade inside.
A small window is easy to understand. Opening a small window on the original stone to reveal a small piece of jade quality is quite risky.
Because you can only know through the small window that there is jade inside, but it is hard to tell whether there are cracks in other places in the wool, whether there is cotton, or even whether there is jade.
It's easier to understand if it's all gambling. From the outside, it looks like a big stone.
As for whether the inside is made of glass, imperial green, iron dragon or brick, it all depends on the buyer's own "luck".
At this time, a man in his fifties came over and said hello with a smile:
"Xiao Fan, is this the friend you mentioned?"
"Yes. He is Zhu Yu." Meng Xiaofan introduced, "Zhu Yu, this is Uncle Cao Meng, my father's friend. These emeralds belong to him."
Cao Meng is tall and thick, about 1.85 meters tall. He is not light, but he speaks with a Bayan accent, which makes him feel quite weird overall.
"Alas, it won't be the case soon." Cao Meng paid great attention to Zhu Yu, and looked at the jadeite and sighed: "More than twenty years ago, I shipped a container of jadeite directly from Myanmar.
I thought that the Chinese people here would prefer jade due to Ms. Song's influence.
Unexpectedly, there are many people who like it, but there are not many carving masters. Even fewer people buy it!
These materials have been with me for many years, but I still have to sell them, and I’m still a little reluctant to part with them..."
Zhu Yu didn't feel that Cao Meng was pretending, he felt that the other party was showing his true feelings.
"Then Mr. Cao will not do this in the future?"
"If I don't do it, I won't do it. A foreign place is not my hometown after all. I want to go back." Cao Meng's voice was trembling, "After all, it is not my hometown!"
Zhu Yu nodded, he would eventually return to China.
"Okay, it won't stop you young people from choosing things. Choose carefully. For Xiao Fan's sake, I'll give you a 10% discount."
Cao Meng smiled and went to entertain the others.
Only then did Zhu Yu notice that each piece of wool had a price tag on it.
Basically it ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars.
For example, the highest asking price was US$188,000. It was an irregular full-open jadeite material about a fist thick and about thirty centimeters in diameter.
The jade texture of this piece of ice is very green.
The price is really cheap.
Zhu Yu initially wondered why Cao Meng wasn't brought to the mainland to sell, but it was unlikely.
Nowadays, shipping is tight, and the shipping cost alone is quite high!
There was so much energy in the yard that Zhu Yu could feel Tianyan's eagerness to absorb it, so he stopped waiting and went to look at the small window material first.
There are the most people in the woolen shop with a small window, and almost everyone has a strong flashlight holding a woolen head there to shine.
There were a few pieces of wool around it that had the most people. Zhu Yu subconsciously glanced at it with his heavenly eye and was surprised!
There are four small open-window tents with lots of people. Three of them are filled with glutinous and ice varieties or above, and there is plenty of greenery.
These people have good eyesight!
Zhu Yu gave up on the more competitive ones and walked to a piece of woolen material the size of a football with a window open that looked a bit purple, and pretended to look at it.
Song Yan followed behind, muttering:
"You can't understand it at first glance - no one else has even looked at this stone, but he just got on with it!"
Meng Xiaofan pulled her, and Zhu Yu pretended not to hear.
The wool weighed about eleven or two kilograms. Zhu Yu glanced at it and opened the window. There was a piece of violet jade the size of a goose egg, and the rest were all white stones.
I have to admire them, these people who open windows are really amazing!
"Young man, I'm afraid there's nothing in that piece, so let's change it to another piece!"
The speaker was an old man about sixty years old. Zhu Yu smiled:
"It's okay, let me take a look and learn."
Zhu Yu understood the old man's kindness and naturally reciprocated it.
However, the price of this piece of wool is only two thousand US dollars, and the jadeite inside is definitely worth more than ten thousand!
More importantly, there is enough energy in this jade, and the Heavenly Eye is very hungry for it!
That’s it!
Zhu Yu simply carried the woolen material to the place where he paid.
"Do you want to choose this one?" The person collecting the money was a Chinese girl, who looked a bit like Cao Meng's daughter.
"No, give me a basket, I want to choose a few more pieces."
"Okay." The girl agreed with a smile.
Zhu Yu came to the small window wool material again. He opened his eyes just now and identified three pieces of wool material that no one noticed but had jade inside.
The price is not high, so it’s the right time to pick it up.
At this moment, a female voice with a slightly arrogant voice spoke:
"Meng Xiaofan, Song Yan, why are you two here?"
Zhu Yu looked up and saw a girl dressed up like a peacock, who was greeting Meng Xiaofan in a strange way.
Zhu Yu frowned.
He doesn't like this girl.
The girl's looks are pretty good, maybe a six.
However, the makeup on my face is a bit uncomfortable, it looks very much like the Chinese girl's style in Western magazines.
It feels a bit gaudy.
Standing next to the girl was a young white man slightly taller than Zhu Yu, who was looking at Meng Xiaofan and Song Yan with squinted eyes.
Zhu Yu secretly lamented that wherever he went, there were fierce battles!
Sure enough, Song Yan fought back:
"That's right! I can't figure it out, why is there a flower hen like you everywhere?"
"What did you say?" The girl suddenly became unwilling and was about to rush up to grab Song Yan, but was stopped by the white young man.
Meng Xiaofan also grabbed Song Yan here.
But both girls were unforgiving.
Zhu Yu was afraid that Meng Xiaofan and Song Yan would be injured, so he approached them.
When the girl looked at Zhu Yu, she suddenly smiled mockingly:
"Oh, I didn't expect that you guys, who claim to be innocent, are now engaging in one-on-one sex? Haha, it's so ironic!"
Zhu Yu was angry!
