About halfway through the tour, Shui Yiyao's eyes were attracted by a piece of red-skinned seed material.
The piece of material was as big as a fist and an irregular oval.
Among the seed materials, this one is considered large.
Shui Yiyao walked over, picked up the piece of material and took a look at it.
The red skin is very bright, yet natural. The pores are well-proportioned and natural. This is a real seed.
Moreover, the jade flesh is very delicate, without any cracks or stiffness.
"How much is this?" Shui Yiyao asked Yunong.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand." The Yunong, who was dressed very simply, replied.
Shui Yiyao stretched out her hand towards Yunong. Yunong looked at her hand with some surprise, but still subconsciously stretched out his hand towards Shui Yiyao.
"One hundred and eighty thousand." Shui Yiyao said.
Seeing that she looked unfamiliar, the jade farmer offered a slightly higher price. She estimated that the cost of the stone should be around 200,000 yuan.
Yunong shook his head and withdrew his hand: "No, no, there is no cost."
Shui Yiyao extended her hand toward Yunong again, and Yunong shook it.
The two clapped their hands and shook them together. Shui Yiyao said, "Two hundred thousand!"
Yunong clapped her hands back and shook his head: "I don't make a penny."
It means the cost price is two hundred thousand.
This is a unique bargaining method in the Jade Bazaar. The buyer and the seller shake hands, and the bargain is concluded during the handshake. The handshake represents the beginning of the transaction. If the transaction fails, they part ways, and if the transaction succeeds, they shake hands.
It originated from the sleeve transaction, where prices are negotiated by touching hands.
It's a custom.
Shui Yiyao patted the other person's hand again, "1,000 rows of blocks."
That means an additional profit of 1,000 yuan, totaling 201,000 yuan.
Yunong snapped back, shaking his head, "It's too little. Look at how long or short mine is? The whole bazaar! Go take a look!"
"Three thousand rows of gears!"
"No, no, at least 280,000!"
"Hey buddy, I brought cash with me. I'll pay you right away once the deal is done—20,000 yuan!"
"Give me more, give me more. Good products deserve good prices."
"Twenty-five thousand gears, is that okay?"
"Eighty thousand! We are a partnership of four, and the other partners want eighty thousand to sell the gear!"
…
The two negotiated back and forth, and the final price was set at 256,000 yuan.
The money was settled on the spot.
Yunong counted the money and smiled happily. He put the money into the safe behind him and turned back to shake hands with Shui Yiyao. "Friend! Leave me your WeChat. I can contact you if there's any big business!"
Shui Yiyao added him on WeChat.
After putting the stone in her backpack, Shui Yiyao went to look at the stone somewhere else.
As soon as she left the stall, someone came up to Shui Yiyao and stopped her: "Friend, wait!"
Shui Yiyao looked back and saw a middle-aged man also carrying a bag. Shui Yiyao looked at him and felt that he looked familiar.
Then she remembered that he was one of the men standing next to her when she was bargaining with Yunnong at the stall just now.
The reason why she bought the stone so quickly was that it was indeed in high demand. There were several people standing next to her at the time, all of whom wanted the stone. If she had let go of it at that time, the next person would have immediately raised the price and taken it away.
So she held the stone with one hand the whole time and didn't let anyone see it.
The man smiled politely at Shui Yiyao and said, "I'll add 10,000 yuan to the price of that red-skinned seed. How about you sell it to me?"
Shui Yiyao refused: "Everyone comes here to buy goods. I buy these for my own collection, not for purchasing on behalf of others."
The man added, "20,000 gears!"
Shui Yiyao: "If you have time to bargain with me, why not look at something else?"
The man gritted his teeth and said, "Will you buy this gearbox for 60,000? Last price! Think about it, you might not be able to make a profit of 60,000 if you resell it."
Shui Yiyao: "Uncle, I really bought it for myself."
"Okay." The man sighed, shook his head and left with regret.
There were a few jade collectors around her who were eager to give it a try, but when they saw that the man couldn't get it for 60,000 yuan, they all left.
Shui Yiyao collected three more egg-sized seeds, including a bright white seed, which was the most expensive, costing three hundred thousand.
Seeing that they had almost finished buying everything and it was time for lunch, Shui Yiyao had a bowl of local spicy noodles nearby.
In the afternoon, she went to look at some mountain materials and bought a piece of Ruoqiang yellow-mouthed material, a piece of sugar-white material, and a few pieces of blue-and-white material. These were too heavy for her to carry, so she mailed them home directly from the merchant.
In one day, all the eight hundred thousand was gone.
When going back, Shui Yiyao did not choose to charter a car, but drove a shared car directly home.
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when they got home, and Shui Yiyao carried all the materials to the bedroom.
She didn't buy a safe, so she thought about it and stuffed all the materials under the bed.
There is a pile of treasures under the bed, and I sleep soundly.
The next day, she took out all the materials and started a live broadcast.
Someone came to the live broadcast room after a while.
-Yuyu, are you back?
-Where have you been? It’s been another day since we last met!
-My part-time job is so busy.
Shui Yiyao: "Didn't I go to work part-time yesterday? I went to collect stones. Let me share with you the good stuff I collected."
“Four pieces of seed material.”
-I like the third one best!
-The third one is so beautiful.
-The first one looks good too.
Shui Yiyao looked at the third piece, which was the smooth white seed, without any skin color, smooth and with a good whiteness.
"This one is three hundred thousand."
【Value.】
A familiar gold-colored chat box appeared with familiar short sentences.
"Good morning, Mr. Lu."
【Good morning. 】
-Three hundred thousand!
-Three hundred thousand for a stone! What can't you do with that little money?
-Is this worth it?
-So rich!
-Left drooling with envy.
Shui Yiyao smiled at the sight and said, "Hetian jade is indeed worth a lot of money in the eyes of those who like it. But in the eyes of those who don't like it, it is just a piece of stone. It depends on the individual."
"I've bought the stuff, and now I need to design and carve something on it. I'll start with the fine material and the heavy work... Let's start with this piece of white seed."
"This stone is clean. I plan to use it to carve a ferry."
【Diaodumu. 】
Shui Yiyao's words and Mr. Lu's comments came out almost at the same time.
Shui Yiyao nodded: "What a coincidence."
“This stone is so clean.”
The carvings of deities and Buddhas like Du Mu are more particular. For example, there cannot be any cotton spots, cracks, or impurities on the face of the Bodhisattva. It must be absolutely clean and in the right position.
There are not many seed materials that can be truly perfect.
For good seed materials like this, Shuiyi Yao usually considers carving gods and Buddhas because they are easy to sell.
For this kind of stuff, apart from the really rich people who want to collect it and hide it at home, ordinary people in the circle will just play with it for a while and sell it when they have enough fun.
If you carve something niche, it won't be easy to sell. But if you carve something like a god or Buddha, it will be easy to sell and circulate within the circle.
Therefore, carving a ferry will directly increase its value.
"My favorite is this one, the red leather."
Shui Yiyao picked up the piece of red-skinned seed material.
【pretty. 】
Mr. Lu praised.
-I only care about the money.
-It must be very expensive.
-Yu Yu said it’s her favorite one, so it must be the most expensive.
"This piece is not as expensive as the one with white seeds."
"But look at the color of this piece of leather. The red skin is so ripe. It's very beautiful, isn't it? I plan to carve a Suzaku."
Suzaku is a niche subject and not very popular, but if it is submitted for an award, it will definitely win if it is innovative and has good material. This piece is prepared for the award.
"I plan to design a golden-winged Roc with this piece of gold-sprinkled leather." Shui Yiyao picked up another piece. This one was also the size of an egg and looked square.
"Exorcism."
It is said that the golden-winged Roc loves to eat dragons, one in one bite. I hope that the sculpture of this Roc can bless her.
After she introduced them one by one, she began to design. She drew the drafts in a sketchbook and spent the whole day designing.
Mrs. Cheng has made some progress, but she is still a long way from being satisfied. She needs to improve it more.
She spent a day on the design draft and started her teaching career the next day.
She remembered the time, but still set the alarm carefully, so she arrived at her office early at 8:30 in the morning, and Jiang Luo was also sent over by Ao Li ten minutes later.
Ao Li didn't stay long. He sent Jiang Luo to the door and left.
When Jiang Luo saw Shui Yiyao, he bowed ninety degrees and said in a loud voice, "Good morning, teacher!"
