Chapter 403 Love Yourself First, Then Love Others

Zhu Suisui nodded seriously.

Mr. Shou started by talking about the characteristics of the four famous jades and explained how to distinguish them.

He is like an encyclopedia, and he makes these stories so fascinating and absorbing.

Having said this.

Then he started talking about jadeite and jadeite.

The best quality soft jade is Hetian jade, and the most valuable among Hetian jades is mutton-fat white jade, which is the best quality white jade. It was highly praised in the Song Dynasty and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Topaz is also good because it has the same pronunciation as "huang" and is extremely rare. For a period of time, its value even exceeded that of mutton-fat white jade.

As for jadeite, it is the jadeite that Zhu Suisui knows.

Its value is comparable to that of Hetian jade.

Empress Dowager Cixi was a very extravagant woman and loved jade very much, so she hired many skilled craftsmen to create many exquisite works of art.

You can imagine how precious it is.

By this time, jadeite was even more famous than Hetian jade.

Nowadays, most people are engaged in the business of mining jade raw materials.

After talking about jade, Old Man Shou said, "There isn't a lot of jade on the market in the city of Sijiu nowadays. If you want to talk about a lot of raw materials, they have already been taken. Jade is different from antiques. There is a certain chance of finding a bargain with antiques, but jade can only be found through gambling."

"Bet?"

This involves Zhu Suisui's blind spot in knowledge.

How did it become related to gambling?

Old Man Shou smiled and said, "The raw materials are cheap because you can't see the inner jade from the surface of the raw materials. The mining environment is very difficult. You can't wait until you are sure that it is good before selling it. In this way, miners are naturally unwilling to do it. So if you want to buy it, you have to buy it by kilogram. It is not cheap. I advise you to think twice if you want to enter this industry."

One pound of raw jade material costs between fifty and one hundred pieces. If you are lucky, you can get high-value jade, but if you are unlucky, it is likely that the pieces you get will be of mediocre quality.

That money would be wasted.

This is also a normal thing.

They are not doing charity. They employ workers to mine in such a harsh environment. Isn't it because this business makes money? The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Those who are proficient in this business, who trade in raw materials, can judge the value of the mined jade by its appearance with an accuracy rate of 80 to 90 percent. This allows them to manipulate the situation. For example, if you buy a lot, you will only get inferior raw materials. The really good ones will be kept by themselves and then cut. Isn't it good to make money by yourself?

This is all an industrial chain.

A fixed team has already been formed in the place where the jade raw materials are produced.

Old Man Shou knows a lot of things. After all, jade mining has been done by many people in the jade industry since he was young. He thought it was new and worked as a handyman for a few days, actually just to learn their craft.

The process of turning wool into jewelry is also very interesting.

After hearing this, Zhu Suisui felt deeply touched by the depth of the situation.

The more complicated the process is, the more people will have evil intentions.

Only when it is profitable can the industry grow.

If Zhu Suisui wants to do this business, he has to take it slow and not be impatient.

You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Zhu Suisui coughed lightly and said, "I understand, Master."

Seeing her like this, Old Man Shou sighed, "You are smart, but you are too obsessed with money. You want to try anything that has to do with money. You are really talented in this area. I don't know if it is good or bad. Anyway, you should take it step by step. Don't try everything. There is no industry that can make money without low risks. Now you should just wait for your college entrance examination results to come out and get into a good university. It's too early for anything else. After all, you are still very young and have a bright future."

Zhu Suisui was like himself when he was young, which made the old man happy and pleased, but also worried and scared.

Whether it is antiques or jade, it is not simple. People's hearts have changed. Zhu Suisui is a woman, so she will suffer losses in the end.

The current environment is not as harsh as it was back then. At least China is getting better and better, and the policies are getting better and better. It's not like when old man Shou was, when he was worried about getting good things.

But this is only on the surface, what happens behind the scenes?

The national environment is getting better, but human nature remains the same.

Old Man Shou was afraid that Zhu Suisui would get hurt.

Zhu Suisui knew that Old Man Shou was worried about her, so she smiled and said, "Master, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I will be more careful. I am not a reckless person. If there is real danger, don't worry, I will definitely be the first to run. I know my life is very precious, I will protect myself well, and I also have to help you find the truth, see my eldest brother and second brother get married and start a family, help my mother find her relatives, and find a way to bring back the cultural relics that are scattered abroad. I have so many things to do, how can I not cherish my life?"

Hearing what she said, Old Man Shou was somewhat moved, but his face remained stern.

"I don't know why you want to do so many things at such a young age. You said so much, for so and so, but why didn't you say anything for yourself? People should love themselves first, and then love others."
