The jade market has always been a very closed circle. The tourist market or second- and third-tier DU stone stores are the lowest reaches of this circle. They are also the few channels where ordinary people can access DU stones. They are basically for entertainment.
host.
These places are filled with various low-quality products such as Xinchang, Nenkong, and fake leather. It is almost impossible to find high-quality jade in these places. Xinchang refers to the entrance of the site that has just been mined for a few years. This type of site is
During the exploration, it was compared that the stone was formed later, the quality of the rough stone is not high enough, and the mining value is not as good as that of Laochangkou, which was formed relatively early.
Because jade takes too long to form, it is a non-renewable resource. When the old sites are almost fully developed and the output gradually decreases, it is natural to develop the next batch of first-level sites.
Usually when people talk about jadeite, they always talk about whether it is good to "seed". In fact, "seed" and "water" are not necessarily related. "Seed" refers to the density of jadeite, the thickness of the crystal particles and the denser the combination, the better.
Judging from the senses, it is the jadeite's luster and gel feel, while "water" refers to the jadeite's transparency. The better the water head, the more transparent it is.
Nenkong jadeite refers to those jadeites that have finer flesh, good water quality, but are relatively tender. Tenderkong jadeite looks very beautiful at first glance, but it is difficult to polish it during the processing, and it takes a long time after the finished product is finished.
It will become 'dry' over time and the color will become lighter and lighter.
Therefore, the value of Nenkong Jade is limited, but because it is very deceptive, many merchants often use these rough stones to pretend to be high-quality sources to deceive gamblers who have just entered the industry.
As for fake leather, it is easy to understand. Merchants use various means to fake the original rough stones with poor appearance into stones with good appearance, or fake new field stones into old field stones. The simplest way is to use cement dust.
Then make the stone old. Usually this method can only deceive "newbies". The methods of making fake leather are all kinds of weird, and some can even deceive the old players.
Huo Qiang didn't know how much Li Jie knew about jade, so he was worried that Li Jie would be deceived. Although the jade shop he introduced was relatively reliable, he could not guarantee that the merchant would not cheat Li Jie.
If you are fooled, if you casually say it in front of your boss, you will really be in trouble.
Li Jie smiled and waved his hand: "No need, I know a little bit about this business. This time I went mainly to buy materials from Moxi Shachangkou and Houjiangchangkou."
Both Moxishachangkou and Houjiangchangkou are relatively well-known jadeites. Among them, Moxishachangkou mainly produces glass and ice jade with fine texture, which are of relatively high quality and guaranteed quality.
Houjiang Changkou produces only a few to several kilograms of small materials, which are well planted, have good soil, good water, and guaranteed quality. Generally speaking, there are not many in circulation on the market, and most of the high-quality Houjiang materials are
The supply of goods eventually went to some old merchants.
When Li Jie called last night, he specifically mentioned that it would be best if the store he went to today had these two kinds of stones, because he was more familiar with the materials at these two markets and would be more certain of finding good products.
Huo Qiang heard this and stopped trying to persuade him. If he persisted in persuading him, he might even offend the other party.
"Okay, let's do this. I'll be waiting outside the store later. If anything happens, Mr. Xie, you can call me anytime."
An hour later, the car arrived at its destination. Li Jie took Guan Ju'er out of the car and walked to the Yemuxi Jade Boutique. The door of this store was very inconspicuous. If Huo Qiang hadn't introduced it, Li Jie would have really
You may not be able to find it.
Entering the store, there are not many finished products displayed in the exhibition hall, but the quality is very high. I glanced around and saw that all the price tags were five digits upward, and most of them started with six digits, and the seven digit ones were only
I saw a few pieces, but I guess not all of them were displayed.
“Welcome!”
A middle-aged woman walked towards me with a professional smile on her face and her tone was neither salty nor cold. Their store basically dealt with regular customers. It was rare to see a new face like Li Jie, so she just
Lack of interest.
"Hello, it was Shengxuan Lao Huo who introduced me here. I'm going to buy some rough stones to play with."
After hearing this, the middle-aged woman cheered up a little and her smile slightly increased.
"It turns out it was Lao Huo who introduced me. Please come with me. The rough stones are all at the back. I wonder if sir, are you going to play with head covering materials, window opening materials, or sheet materials?"
Li Jie replied as he walked: "Let's open the window material, um, I can also buy a piece of head covering material for fun."
Guan Ju'er shook Li Jie's hand hard, and then whispered to him: "Didn't I agree to buy it?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't buy it," Li Jie lowered his head and replied in her ear, "You bought that piece of head covering material. I didn't prepare anything when I confessed my love. I just made up for it this time."
Seeing that Guan Ju'er was about to object, Li Jie lowered his head and kissed her, blocking her next words and adding.
"This is our token of love for Yazhou."
In public, Li Jie's sudden kiss made Guan Ju'er feel hot on her face. Fortunately, the middle-aged woman leading the way didn't notice, otherwise she would have really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Guan Ju'er couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Jie, but she didn't persist.
The middle-aged woman took Li Jie and the two of them into a dark room with no light source. Only the light coming from outside the door could see the layout clearly. There were two shelves of high and low shelves placed against the wall around the room, with displays on them.
There are all kinds of rough stones, ranging from small pieces the size of a baby's fist to rough stones the size of a washbasin.
"Sir, since you were introduced by Lao Huo, he should have told you the rules, right?"
Li Jie nodded. In simple terms, the middle-aged woman said there were only two rules. One was to keep it confidential and not to spread the word, and the other was that once purchased, it would not be returned.
"I plan to buy a piece of ice-grown Moxisha window material. In addition, my girlfriend wants to buy a piece of Houjiang blue water material. Is it available in this store?"
"Ice Mosisha?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman remembered the piece of material in the store that had changed hands several times but had not been cut. The stone was brought back from Myanmar for 80 million kyats (400,000 RMB), but after opening the window, she found that it was inside
There were quite a lot of cracks, and it took several buyers to get it into their hands. This piece of material did meet the other party's requirements, but considering that it was introduced by Lao Huo, wouldn't it be a good idea to deceive others like this?
'Forget it, we'll see what happens when the time comes.'
The only advantage of this piece of material is that it is a rare piece of blue jade. It is estimated that the base should be waxy ice to ice. If the crack is not completely penetrated, it will be worth a lot of money. But according to their experience, this kind of
The probability is undoubtedly very small.
Therefore, after buying it, it was put on the shelf. Several groups of people saw it but did not sell it.
