"Yes!" the shopkeeper sighed, looked at Hao Chuan with a sad expression, and said, "every time boss Hao passes by my shop, he passes through the door but doesn't enter. Today, boss Hao finally enters the shop and is full of brilliance!"
Stimulated by the shopkeeper's resentful eyes, Hao Chuan felt a layer of goose bumps all over. He couldn't help shivering and said with a dry smile: "the shopkeeper's words are serious, but then again, your jade shop is really good. Eh, if I'm right, is this Hotan jade? Are these things processed by the shopkeeper himself? The craftsmanship is really exquisite, great, really great!"
Hao Chuan appreciated the finely carved ornaments across the display cabinet, but he didn't get started.
Antiques, especially jade toys, are most taboo to get started directly.
In fact, the whole antique industry has this invisible rule. It is absolutely a big taboo to start rashly.
First, there is a risk of getting started. If you bump, you must be prepared for massive bleeding; Second, even if you are careful not to knock, but this kind of thing is most afraid of sweat corruption. As long as people hold on to this reason, you have no way to buy or lose money. This business is so cruel.
Some loyal bosses may look unhappy, but they may not care. But if he meets a greedy, even if he starts with a fake, he will pay a huge price for this rash move.
Therefore, the rules are the rules. Every profession has its own rules. If you exceed them, you can only buy lessons with money.
The shopkeeper of yuxuanzhai nodded and a happy look appeared on his face and said, "boss Hao has a crush on this gadget? It's carved with Lanolin white jade as the prototype. I wonder if boss Hao has studied the classification of Hotan jade?"
Hao Chuan shook his head and said with a smile, "the art industry is specialized. I just have some insight into antique identification, but my understanding of jade products is still in the initial stage. Please give me your advice."
"I don't deserve your advice. Everyone is in the same trade. Since boss Hao is interested in these gadgets, let me talk briefly."
The shopkeeper took out a pair of white gloves, put them on carefully, picked up this white jade pendant as gentle as lanolin and said, "since boss Hao chose Hotan jade, I'll tell boss Hao about Hotan jade classification first."
"Take the lanolin white jade in my hand. The raw material of this jade is rare seed material, which is very precious."
"Seed material?" Hao Chuan rubbed his nose, indicating that he didn't understand.
The shopkeeper didn't show impatience. He saw that Hao Chuan really didn't understand this classification, nodded and said, "yes, it's seed material. Generally speaking, Hotan jade on the market is mainly divided into four categories according to the occurrence and field material, mountain material, Gobi material, mountain water and seed material."
Talking about this, the shopkeeper was very interested and said: "The mountain material is easy to identify, massive, irregular in shape, but angular, without rounding and common crust. The mountain water is sub angular, poorly rounded, usually large in size and with very thin crust, while the seed material is different. It is a jade material naturally stripped from the primary ore and transported to the river after weathering. Many of it are oval and round, indicating that it is very smooth, The roundness is also very good, and because of perennial scouring, only the jade with fine texture and tight structure can be retained, so the quality of seed material is often the best of Hotan Yuzhong. "
The shopkeeper opened the long speech mode and carefully introduced the classification of Hotan jade for Hao Chuan. For example, in addition to lanolin white jade, there are white jade, sapphire, green white jade, topaz, sugar jade, jasper and ink jade. The internal knowledge is extremely rich. Without certain attainments, it is impossible to talk freely like the shopkeeper.
Hao Chuan really doesn't understand these things, but just listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, he knows that the person introduced by the sixth master is indeed reliable. There is no doubt that the shopkeeper is a typical professional in jade!
After the shopkeeper's long speech, Hao Chuan hugged his fist and bowed and said, "I've been taught!"
The shopkeeper replied modestly, "boss Hao really has good eyes. I don't know whether boss Hao values the pendant in my hand. The price is easy to discuss."
Hao Chuan is a little embarrassed. He didn't expect to find a jade pendant with his finger, which is a rare boutique in the store. Can he tell the shopkeeper, am I blind? Of course not.
After hearing so much, Hao Chuan plans to explain his intention directly. He believes that since the sixth master is willing to introduce the store to him, it must be a play.
So Hao Chuan didn't beat around the bush. He looked at the shopkeeper sincerely and said seriously, "to tell you the truth, I came to your store today and really took a fancy to something in your store."
The shopkeeper's face showed a happy look and said, "I don't know what boss Hao likes?" the shopkeeper may not be very proficient in antiques and cultural relics, but the shopkeeper is very confident in jade products. He believes that few people can match him in understanding jade in this antique street.
"I like this jade ornament shop and the shopkeeper. You are a talent in jade. Of course, if you have a processing workshop or other talents behind you, I want as much as you have." Hao Chuan said without surprise.
The shopkeeper's face became cold and his smile was not so natural. He said, "boss Hao is joking? Are you here to smash the job of the shop?"
Hao Chuan knew that the shopkeeper misunderstood his meaning. He hugged his fist, bowed and saluted. Then he opened his mouth and explained, "shopkeeper, you misunderstood me. In fact, to tell you the truth, I came to your store because of the recommendation of the sixth master."
Hearing that Hao Chuan mentioned the sixth master, the shopkeeper's face obviously eased down. He looked at Hao Chuan, walked over to close the door and said, "boss Hao, sit down and talk about your ideas. If you can accept it, I'll do it with you. If you can't accept it, we can say goodbye."
Hao Chuan laughed at the shopkeeper and said, "the shopkeeper is really quick and quick! First of all, talk about the treatment. Dare you ask the shopkeeper, how much does your store earn a year?"
"14.5 million, not many." the shopkeeper calculated and gave Hao Chuan a rough figure.
Hao Chuan nodded and said, "OK, I'll give you $5 million, but if you and the processing talents behind you are included, can the shopkeeper accept it?"
The shopkeeper was stunned. He knew that it was said that Hao Chuan was very deep, but he had no contact with him. I don't know. Today, he saw it. His mouth was five million. Sure enough, the trench was endless.
The shopkeeper had no reason to refuse. He nodded and didn't speak until Hao Chuan continued.
