Chapter 295 Jewelry
In the afternoon, An Songyu just returned home and saw his sister busy sitting on the sofa on the first floor.
As soon as she saw An Songyu enter the house, her eyes lit up immediately:
"Sister, have you brought the information to Tzuyu and the others?"
"What do they say?"
An Songyu did not answer immediately.
He first took the warm water that An Songxiang had poured for him and drank half a cup, then asked speechlessly:
"What can I say?"
"We just learned about the incident and got the information."
“Even if they are geniuses, can they make a decision over lunch?”
All right……
An Songxiang retreated back to her original position very obediently.
I stopped urging my sister and thought of another thing:
"By the way, sister, my friend from Hetian brought you a lot of jade this time. I've put the things in your room, and there's also a price list. Remember to pay."
Speaking of this, An Songxiang also has a lot to say:
"Sister, why do you always like things like jade?"
"You want both the material and the finished product?"
"If mom didn't know how to buy jewelry herself, I don't know how to explain it to her!"
"What do you want to confess?" An Songyu asked casually.
"What can you explain? You know that the price of the raw materials from Hotan is as high as 2,000 yuan per kilogram, which is equivalent to the price of a square meter of a house in a good location."
"The seed material is even more frightening. The first-grade Hetian white jade seed material costs tens of thousands per kilogram. This is the channel I can find in Hetian."
"If it were somewhere else, the price would be even higher."
"Not all of your channels are for me!" An Songyu replied with a smile.
Thinking back, if she didn’t want to buy Hetian jade, would An Songxiang have deliberately contacted such a person?
As a result, the channel was opened by An Songxiang.
But the real beneficiaries are An Songxiang and her clients.
However, An Songyu did not suffer any loss, as the best ones were always picked for her first.
It’s just that the price is too expensive, so she doesn’t dare to buy too much every time.
But think about the price of Hetian seed material in the future.
Not to mention twenty years, even ten years from now the price will be over a million per kilogram.
Even the trading market does not dare to calculate by weight, but directly measures in blocks.
An Songyu felt that, let alone 11,000 grams now.
It's one thousand and one gram...
Well, it really was 10,000 per gram, and it was really hard for her to make up her mind how much to buy.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm too lazy to say anything to you!" An Songxiang waved his hand guiltily.
After all, the channel she originally found for her sister has not only become her current business.
Even the women in their family collected a lot of them.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about the hobbies of the women in their family.
As a girl with a girlish heart, An Songxiang's preference is mainly based on colors.
From the more common and easily available rose quartz, pink tourmaline, pink morgan, pink sapphire, etc., to the rare padparadscha, mahenge spinel, pink diamond, and conch pearls.
Even some pink-purple jadeites that are not mainly pink, and other niche pink jewelry are her favorites.
And An Songyu is only a few years older than her.
That preference was a little bit hard for An Songxiang to understand.
Her favorite are all kinds of jade, whether it is Hetian jade or jadeite, she loves them all.
She is also very picky when it comes to shopping. She doesn’t like the bad ones, and she doesn’t like to buy the good ones because they are too expensive.
But I like to buy some niche colors.
Apart from this, she also loves pure gold jewellery.
And the most important thing is weight rather than style.
To this day, An Songxiang has bought some gold jewelry specifically for her sister, some of which her mother disliked because they were too bulky.
But this just happened to be in line with some of her grandmother and aunt's hobbies.
Bi Lizhu's preferences partially overlap with those of her second daughter.
But as she said, at her age, it is not uncommon to like pearls, jade, or even exquisite gold jewelry.
What’s strange is that despite An Songyu’s young age, his hobbies are so…old-fashioned.
Of course, An Songxiang doesn't think there is anything wrong with liking aging.
The problem is... her sister's hobby really costs a lot of money!
Seeing that An Songxiang was busy, An Songyu did not stay downstairs.
When An Songyu came up from downstairs, she saw something on her desk.
In addition to the box specifically used to store jewelry.
There was also a large box that was as wide and as half the size of the box that An Songxiang brought back yesterday.
The thickness of the box is about one-third higher than that of an ordinary jewelry box.
Seeing the thing, An Songyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
An Songxiang had brought her Hetian jade ornaments and jade materials before, but this was the first time she had seen them packaged in this kind of box!
She walked over, took a closer look, and found that the box had two layers.
First, I pulled out the drawer on the bottom layer, and I saw that it was filled with small pieces of material weighing only ten or twenty grams.
Some of them are carved, while others are still raw stones.
However, uncarved materials are obviously better than many carved materials.
After collecting for this period of time, An Songyu is still unable to completely distinguish the differences between the Hetian jade materials.
But at least she now knows whether these jade materials can reach the level of first-grade Hetian seed materials that can cost her 10,000 yuan per kilogram.
If you open the upper layer, the difference is obvious.
This layer also contains both finished products and jade materials.
However, it is obvious that jade materials account for the majority.
Moreover, compared with the jade materials on the lower layer, the jade materials and jadeware on the upper layer are definitely much heavier.
An Songyu picked up a carved piece at random.
The first-grade seed jade material is completely flawless, and a dragon is faintly visible flying on it.
This piece was obviously carved into a small pendant, and each piece weighs only about 50 grams.
In the layer above, it is neither the largest nor the smallest.
However, there are not many people who can achieve such perfection.
After all, seed jade rolls down from the mountain and is then washed and beaten by running water.
It is basically impossible to be completely flawless.
"Sister, my friend said that those carvings were good because the jade material was actually quite good, but there were some obvious flaws." An Songxiang, who had been here for an unknown period of time, explained specifically.
"So the jade carvers will use the jade itself to carve completely different works."
"But the jade carvings you have here are not the work of a master carver."
"But he is a native of Hotan and knows the craftsmanship of those jade carving masters very well."
“Although there are no masterpieces, the craftsmanship is above standard.”
"I bought this for you at a uniform price."
"Well, I did pretty well, didn't I?"
"Of course!" An Songyu nodded with satisfaction.
Don’t underestimate this box. Together with the things next to it, An Songyu spent nearly 100,000 yuan this time!
No wonder An Songxiang complained that her hobby was expensive.
After all, with the current market price, you can buy a lot of good things with less than 100,000 yuan.
Just like now, a one-carat ring with excellent cut, clarity and color only costs two to three thousand dollars.
This is the price that An Songxiang learned from her frequent visits to Hong Kong Island.
Not to mention the current housing prices.
All these things she has are enough to buy several houses in Xingfu Garden.
