Chapter 594

Seeing the people around him looking at him and others like a madman, Liu Sizhe said with a speechless face: "I said kunzai, you just picked up a leak of more than 100000 to 200000, as for laughing like this!"

Duan Kun said with a smile: "of course, I can't compare with you. You know, this is the first leak I picked up, and I made nearly 200000 for the first time. Do you think I can be unhappy?"

Liu Sizhe turned his lips and said, "if it's not brother Chen, you can find the leak of fart!"

Duan Kun said with a smile: "I really want to thank brother Chen for this, but after all, it's me who picked up the leak!"

"Cut!" Liu Sizhe sneered, then turned to Chu Chen and said, "brother Chen, that string of handkerchiefs just now is not simple, is it?"

Chu Chen took out his cudgel and said with a smile, "of course, there's something else. You'll see."

Liu Sizhe took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully. He found that there were many even small cracks on the surface of the beads, which looked like the creeping marks of small insects, because glass objects would never crack, and stone objects would never appear this phenomenon.

In addition, there is obvious wear in the hole of the bead. Obviously, the texture is not as hard as glass. In addition, the bead is lighter. Therefore, it is certain that this thing is not a material.

Since it's not material or stone, these beads are likely to be organic matter. What's the organic matter like beads? As a result, Liu Sizhe was shocked and said: "are these all..."

Chuchen said with a smile: "indeed, judging from the fineness and the slurry, this should be the handkerchief of the Qing Dynasty. Although its luster has been slightly mellow, it is definitely pearl luster. Therefore, I think these should be gold pearls."

After listening to Chu Chen's reply, Liu Sizhe stared at his boss: "such a big golden pearl, this This is also... "

As the old saying goes, "seven is divided into pearls, eight is treasure". Generally, pearls less than 6 mm are not included in the category of jewelry grade pearls. 7-9 mm are generally loved by consumers. Pearls of 10 mm are rare. Pearls of more than 11 mm are only Nanyang pearls and black pearls. The higher you go, the rarer the quantity is, while the price tends to multiply.

The golden pearl is a kind of Nanyang pearl. Because of its huge volume, it can breed 9-16mm white or golden Nanyang pearl. Among them, the output of golden pearl is very small, so the price is more expensive.

The problem is that today's gold pearls are cultured. Even so, gold pearls more than 15mm are quite rare. Moreover, in the Qing Dynasty, there was no culture of sea pearls. In other words, this string of 18 gold pearls at least 15mm is pure natural. It can be said that it is not easy to come. At the same time, we can see the dignity of their original owners.

Because of this, Liu Sizhe was so shocked and unbelievable.

Duan Kun muttered: "it's just a bunch of big pearls. It's a little expensive, but if you want to buy them, you can't buy them, can you?"

Liu Sizhe said: "of course, you can buy the cultured pearls. The key is that these pearls are all natural. You can go and have a look!"

"God "Natural?" Duan Kun also has an incredible face.

Liu Sizhe glanced at him and said, "otherwise, you don't think there is a saying about cultivating sea beads in Qing Dynasty."

"Hiss!" Duan Kun took a cold breath and said, "this string of handkerchiefs is worth a lot of money."

Chuchen said with a smile: "it needs to be measured before we know, but if all of them are more than 15mm, it's really valuable."

Liu Sizhe couldn't wait to say: "what are you waiting for? I remember brother Chen, you have a vernier caliper in your bag. Let's measure it now!"

Chuchen chuckled, then took out the vernier caliper in the bag. This measurement found that these pearls were not completely round, but could not be distinguished visually. After all, they were natural pearls, which was normal.

It's amazing that the diameter of these pearls is not more than 16.2mm, but the biggest error can be said.

Duan Kun was a little stunned and said, "this How much does this bunch of bracelets cost? "

Chu Chen shook his head: "it's hard to say! But I'm not going to sell it anyway! "

Before 1993, the price of gold pearls in Xiangjiang market was relatively stable and low. The relatively high-quality small grain gold pearls were 9-14mm, about 300-800 US dollars per pearl and 130-200 US dollars per gram.

However, in 1994, India and Nepal were hit by a strong earthquake and tsunami, resulting in a sharp decline in the output of white pearls and golden pearls, and a shortage of golden pearls, which made it difficult for wholesalers, especially consumers, to buy golden pearls, so the price of golden pearls rose by 300% in the four years from 1993 to 1996.

This is the price of 9-14mm golden pearls before 2000. As for the round golden pearls over 15mm, it is difficult to put forward a standard market price because they are too rare.

What's more, all the golden pearls mentioned here refer to cultured pearls. Chuchen's string of 18 pearls are all natural pearls, and its price is even more difficult to estimate. If we have to give an exact market value of less than 10 million, chuchen will not even consider it.However, Chu Chen can be sure that it is difficult for him to get a string of such precious things in the world. Even if someone pays more, he can't sell them. After all, money is just a string of figures in his eyes.

Liu Sizhe said enviously: "no, you two have picked up the leak. I won't talk about picking up the leak today. Do you have to get something?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "anyway, it's still early. Let's go on shopping..."

It's still early, but for the industry of antiques, it's basically early rather than late. When Chu Chen and his family re entered the antiques market, many people had already picked up their treasures and were ready to retreat with big bags. This also means that there are not many good things left in the market.

In a word, it's good to be late. The rest shows that we are not optimistic about it. The price must be cheaper. If we like it, it's easy to bargain. Of course, this is just a consolation.

All the way around, Chu Chen was present. Even though there were not many good things left on the stall, everyone bought some good things at a low price. However, the things were not very good, and the value was even lower than Duan Kun's pair of smoked balls.

Liu Sizhe is very satisfied with this. After all, there are few good things in the field of antiques. It's good to be able to pick up small leaks several times. He's not insatiable. He doesn't want to pick up big leaks at all.

With the harvest, it was almost time to see, so the party was ready to find a place to eat, and then in the afternoon they went on a tour of the city's scenic spots.

However, just as we were going back, we saw a lot of people around the door of an antique shop. From the shop, we heard quarrels from time to time. Curious, chuchen and they went forward to join in the fun.

When they came to the door of the antique shop, they found that the two sides of the quarrel were a man of nearly 50 years old and a young man of more than 20 years old. Judging from the words of the quarrel, it seemed that it was because of the return of counterfeit goods. However, they did not know what was going on.

Duan Kun turned his eyes, took out a cigarette from his cigarette case, handed it to a middle-aged man nearby, and asked with a smile in local dialect, "uncle, do you smoke?"

"Oh, soft, good smoke!" The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and took the cigarette.

Duan Kun laughed and lit a cigarette for him. He asked, "uncle, what's the matter?"

The middle-aged man took a sip and then said, "it's not because of the return."

Hearing him say this, Liu Sizhe felt a little strange: "in our business, unless we are acquaintances, we usually buy and sell based on our eyesight. Payment is not refundable, and going out is not guaranteed. It seems that we haven't heard that several stores can return goods, right?"

"It seems that the younger brother is also a member of the trade!"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "strictly speaking, our business is really not interested in returning goods. It's just that people's legal concept is getting stronger and stronger now. Our business has some influence, but we can return goods. In this area, there is only shopkeeper Huang of this shop, who is the first crab..."

However, according to the introduction of the middle-aged man, the goods sold in the shop of shopkeeper Huang can not be returned at all. There are many conditions for the return.

First of all, before selling, it states that if it is sold, it will not be returned. Second, it will not be returned if it states that the authenticity of things is not guaranteed. Third, things are real, because they are expensive and they will not be returned. No matter what's true, it can't be returned. Fifthly, things sold for more than half a month will not be returned.

In addition, even if the customer wants to return the goods, they still have to pay a certain proportion of the "drilling fee". Specifically, the value of the goods varies from 10% to 30%. The drilling fee for cheap things is higher, and that for expensive things is lower.

But even so, compared with other stores, shopkeeper Huang's shopping here will undoubtedly reduce the loss of many customers.

Therefore, as soon as this rule comes out, the business of this antique shop will be much better, which makes all the learning cabinets in the surrounding antique shops ponder whether they have this rule.

After listening to the introduction of the middle-aged man, Duan Kun asked strangely: "since there are such regulations, it's OK to follow them. Why are they still fighting? Is this young man deliberately making trouble? "

"That's not true. The young man still meets the conditions for return." The middle-aged man shook his head.

"In that case, I'll give it back. Doesn't the owner of this shop even care about his reputation?" Liu Sizhe didn't understand this.

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "it's not shopkeeper Huang who deliberately makes things difficult. It's this young man who doesn't pay attention to things and makes us taboo in this field..."
