Chapter 353 The Black Market
Chu Fengping smiled helplessly and whispered to the middle-aged man who had already lame legs opposite him.
The middle-aged man heard Chu Fengping's tone very calm, and seemed to have no intention of provoking it. Only then did he temporarily calm down the originally uneasy mood in his heart, and the expression on his face began to gradually calm down.
"I don't know if this gentleman is planning to buy or sell things. Since he is doing a transaction, why not sit next to him and let's talk about the price."
The middle-aged man with a limp leg was not at all dragging on this matter. He pointed to the table next to him casually and sat down first.
Chu Fengping sat opposite the middle-aged man without even thinking about it, and took out one of the rough stones from his waist carelessly. This rough stone was not small on the surface, but Chu Fengping knew more than anyone else in his heart that the size of the rough stone actually had nothing to do with its own quality.
The main reason why he took out this rough stone with the largest and worst quality was that Chu Fengping wanted to test how much the middle-aged man in front of him knew about the rough stone.
If the other party can see the tricks of the raw stone, then Chu Fengping can consider cooperating with the other party for a long time in the future, and connect all the gambling stone guests through them to form a channel for purchasing raw stones, thereby continuously providing more low-priced raw stone resources to Zhenbao Pavilion with relatively high quality.
On the contrary, if the middle-aged man in front of him could not see the inner value of the raw stone itself, and could not see any information from the stone customers and private rooms outside, then it can only be said that he had no experience in the transaction of raw stones and jade, and there was no need for any cooperation in the listing of such stores.
Chu Fengping had just put the raw stone in his hand on the table. The middle-aged man with his legs opposite suddenly opened his eyes wide, then gently touched the outer layer of the patina with his hand, and put it on his nose for a while before he spoke.
"I wonder where this little brother got this rough stone from? If I'm not mistaken, the rough stone doesn't seem to be very mining time now, because the scent of sulfur in the lava remains on the outer rubber cover. If there is such a special geographical situation, it should be inseparable from the Yang family, one of the four major families in Mengcheng. I wonder what kind of cooperative relationship is there between this brother and the Yao family? Why did the Yang family give such a large rough stone to you?"
This series of inquiries forced Chu Fengping to admire the other party's eyesight in his heart. It seems that he can open such a store in the black market. His eyesight and courage are indeed comparable to those of ordinary people.
"As a matter of fact, you can't hide anything from the shopkeeper. It seems that if you can start such a store that recycles antiques and jade in the black market, your eyesight is indeed beyond ordinary pawn shops."
Chu Fengping now praised the other party completely from the inside and did not have any intention of deliberately flattering him.
In general pawn shops, even if they know that the stone taken out of Chu Fengping now is a raw stone, it is very likely that there will be jade of better texture hidden, but they cannot know the specific year of the thing through the patina outside or even some more delicate things, and they cannot know the source of the thing itself.
On the surface, the Yang family is indeed the only jade supplier in the entire Mengcheng, but this does not mean that other channels other than the Yang family cannot be made in jade.
And this point is definitely difficult for ordinary people to distinguish. It is such a situation, but it was directly analyzed by the lame middle-aged man in front of Chu Fengping. From this point, it can be seen that the other party's eyesight is not inferior to him.
"Shopkeeper, I just want to know now that if I tell you that this thing is indeed the raw stone produced by the jade mine of the Yang family, and it is the raw stone I bought with Yang Jiuzhou, the eldest elder of the Yang family, I don't know what price you are going to give him?"
Chu Fengping smiled lightly, casually tapped the layer of pale yellow patina outside the raw stone with his hands, and asked at the other party.
The middle-aged man with a lame legs in front of him, after pondering for a while, subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched the pale yellow patina.
"I don't know whether the information you just provided me is true or false, but I can tell you responsibly that the jade inside the raw stone in your hand is almost non-directly proportional to the patina outside. Because patina and jade have no substantial relationship at all, it looks very large on the surface, but only by cutting it out can you know how big the jade inside is. It can be seen from the texture of the outer glue that if the whole piece of jade is really large to the original level, then the patina outside should appear blue or even lilac, but the pale yellow patina can only show that there are fewer trace elements inside, which will be a very big obstacle to the formation of the jade."
The middle-aged man in front of him began to touch the egg-yellow patina with his hand and talked with it. Although he had not been able to tell Chu Fengping the corresponding price of the rough stone in his hand, and did not estimate the price of the thing, just through his understanding of the patina and the appearance, Chu Fengping could be completely sure that this person did not know anything about the rough stone.
If Zhenbao Pavilion really wants to engage in training for gambling stone guests now, it really needs some decent lecturer Chu Fengping. It is impossible to teach so many students by himself, and it is even more impossible to organize training for these people in Jinbao Pavilion every day.
