Irving saw that Li Du didn't know much about Opal, so he took advantage of the time when the appraisers identified the gems, and called Li Du aside and systematically introduced this gem to him.

Li Du learned very seriously. Opal is of high value, and this is a new way. In the future, he not only needs to look for Opal, but also other gems.

The identification took more than an hour, but in fact it was not long. On average, a gem only took two minutes to identify the identification time.

After the appraisal was completed, Owen took over the appraisal report and then started pricing.

Before pricing, Irving first admired these opals, each piece was appreciated one by one.

Li Du said: "I thought you were already tired of touching this kind of stone every day."

Owen shook his head and said, "No, no, no, my friend, why would I still be in this job if I didn't love it?"

He raised an opal with an intoxicated expression on his face: "Look, each of the patterns composed of color fragments here is so unique and so wonderful, it is really magical."

"It's just some impurities, isn't it?"

Owen said seriously: "Of course not, this is a world, forged belts, wheat poles, husks, flowers seas, lightning and flames, this is God's world."

He turned the opal in his hand. This piece was not the largest, but the color was the redest, and the pattern inside was the most realistic, like a grassland, with some bright red protrusions, as if they were flowers in the grassland.

The appraiser has previously weighed and conducted a comprehensive evaluation according to the rating standards given by the International Gem Stone Association. Therefore, Irving can directly price it.

This stone weighs 500 carats, or about 100 grams, and is a top-notch fire opal. The price given by Irving is 500,000 US dollars.

Although he was prepared, Li Du's heart beat faster when he heard that the stone was worth 500,000 yuan.

Not much is more than 500,000. He earned 500,000 in the warehouse, but this is different from the precious goods in the warehouse. There is often only one such expensive goods in the warehouse.

But he still has more than 30 gems here, and there are countless gems in the national park not far away!

Pricing of opal is not an easy task. There are many factors that measure its value. There is no very standard way to calculate its value in the world, which requires experience.

Irving did not simply say the price. He would tell Li Du why it priced like this, which increased its value and which reduced its value.

He also took out a thick album containing the fire opal patterns and prices sold in auctions and jewelry stores around the world over the past two years.

According to these pictures, compare the gems in their hands, give the basic price, and then compare the advantages and disadvantages between the two parties, and increase the price within the basic price range.

In the end, the price has to be 20% off. Irving needs to make a profit, otherwise he would not have eaten so many gems.

The main impact on the value of opal is flaws. For example, there are obvious cracks on the surface and there is almost no value. Opals with many fine cracks on the surface will become worthless.

"This has a sand hole, which is formed by a mineral impurity. It affects the background of the gem and will cause a decrease in value. I think its value is reduced by 10% as a result?"

"Agree." Li Du replied.

"Oh, this is not good, opal line, look at this gray line, this is an opal line, and there are two bubbles. Sorry, man, its value is halved."

"Reduce forty percent." Li Du said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, listen to you."

In this way, the two sides kept bargaining, and the prices of hot opals were finally released.

Compared with the appraisal process, the pricing process is much slower. Owen performed very fairly in this regard. He did not simply quote, but gave reasons to convince Li Du.

In addition, some hot opals have already set prices, but if Irving thinks of something, he will overturn the price again and tell Li Du the reason.

This process not only reduces prices, but also raises prices. In short, he tried his best to convince Li Du.

After all the thirty-five opal stones were priced, Owen took out his computer and started to calculate carefully. The highest value was 500,000, and the lowest value was only 2,000 yuan, with a value gap of more than 200 times!

In the end, all the stones combined are worth 3,185,000 US dollars!

This is not the final price, but it will be 20% off, that is 2.548,000 yuan.

"It's 2.6 million, and I'll give it all to me, how about it?" Owen stared at Li Du and asked.

Li Du said happily: "No problem, this time we will follow your price."

Hearing this, Owen's eyes twitched, and he rubbed his hands and said, "You are a happy guy, Lee, I like happy people. In this way, for the first time we cooperated, I am very grateful for trusting me, so I have to express my feelings."

After thinking about it, he said, "I know that you like to send red envelopes to good friends in Chinese culture. Then I will give you another red envelope of 20,000 yuan at this price. I hope you can find me every time you cooperate in the future."

He was stimulated by Li Du's words "This time", and the meaning of this word is that there will be transactions later.

Li Du happily accepted the red envelope if he had money but didn't make a profit.

Irving also tried his best to win over him, and he also gave Sophie a pair of earrings and Fire Opal earrings.

The gems on the earrings are very small, but beautiful. The lines inside are outlined into clouds. Combined with the fiery red color, they look like burning clouds.

Sophie said in surprise: "Wow, what a beautiful pattern."

Owen laughed and said, "It's good that you like it, this pattern is indeed very rare and clear."

This pair of earrings won't be cheap. Li Du saw the pattern inside and asked, "What do you think if there is a sunset pattern inside?"

"This is the setting sun, the fire burns the clouds."

Li Du said: "I mean the real sunset, there are clouds and suns, half of the sunset is covered by clouds."

Owen laughed and said, "That can't exist, it's not that coincidental."

"Suppose it." Li Du smiled.

Owen said: "You may know, man, the corresponding valuable patterns are different because of different colors of opals. I can tell you that the sunset is the most valuable pattern in the fire opal!"

"What if there were such patterns in these pairs of earrings?"

Irving said without thinking: "Then I can price the earrings at 50,000 yuan."

Li Du said: "The price is not high, is it because the gem is too small? What if it is so big?"

He gestured at the size of the sunset sky, "It's about 800 grams, so big, with a clear texture, orange above and scarlet below."

Owen laughed again: "That's impossible..."

"Suppose." Li Du insisted.
