I really don't want to be her world

Chapter 237 235. Raising money
"Then... I will pay it back to you when I have the money!"

Tang Yimeng said firmly.

"It's okay, just pay it back slowly along with the air ticket. You don't need to pay it back every month. If you have it, give it to me. If you don't, you can wait for the next month."

Yuanshu did not set an amount for the former, and he would not rush for such a thing.

"it is good!"

Tang Yimeng agreed.

"Four thousand...a big number..."

Yuan Shu leaned on the back of his chair and sighed softly. The air ticket money he just gave to Tang Yimeng was already his entire family fortune now. Only more than 1000 of the [-] yuan belongs to him, and the remaining few hundred are for holidays. I received extra pocket money from my parents.

Coming to the desk, Yuan Shu moved all the dozens of small boxes neatly stacked against the wall to the bed, and then opened them one by one.

These small boxes contain jade that he has collected during this period. Yuan Shu plans to sell a few pieces of good jade to restore his health, and then support Tang Yimeng.

“I really can’t keep good things after collecting them. In the end, I still have to sell them to others at a cheaper price...”

Yuan Shu sighed again. He thought that he had collected some good Hetian jade during the holidays and could keep it until the price went up. Who knew that before he warmed it up in his hand, he would end up returning blood.

It's a heartache, but it's impossible for Yuan Shu to watch Tang Yimeng being punished for overdue payment. That kind of app is not formal. Even if the penalty for one overdue payment is small, as long as you are overdue, it will have a negative impact on the future. The impact is huge. To put it bluntly, being blacklisted is really not worth the gain.

Thinking of this, the young man felt that it was nothing to sell something to restore blood to help Tang Yimeng. Anyway, after his rebirth, he collected jade itself to sell it in order to see the price increase in the future, but the time of sale was earlier. That’s all.

"These three pieces of green can be sold."

Yuan Shu took out three pieces of emerald jade from each of the three boxes. These three pieces of jade were all bought at bargain prices from the boss of the jewelry city during the holidays. The original price was a hundred dollars, and he was stunned. It was the young man who cut it to a minimum of a hundred yuan.

After estimating the minimum price for three pieces of emerald, Yuan Shu took out another piece of landscape with two colors of smoke, purple, emerald and green. This piece of jade can also be sold. Although it has a master's certificate, the material's green and smoke purple colors None of them are too rich, and there are cracks and cotton on the back of the jade. At best, the master certificate can only increase the price of this piece of jade by 200 yuan, but it cannot make something worth a few hundred yuan suddenly turn into a few hundred yuan. Tens of thousands.

And for some merchants, the master certificate is not valuable at all. This thing is purely a gift rather than an add-on. One or two hundred yuan may be too much, and the value of fifty is still more reasonable.

Of course, not all jade stones with a master's certificate are worthless. Yuan Shu's one just comes with a certificate. The carving can only be said to be okay, but it is definitely not from the hands of a master. It should be from the master's studio. The apprentices below, disciples, etc., and then issued a master certificate in the name of the master.

Looking at the landscape pendant in his hand, Yuan Shu took back another emerald green pendant. He quite liked this pendant of wishing for his son to have a successful future. It was purely hand-carved and the color was pretty. Although the price was not high, the overall comparison was better. It can be regarded as a small boutique in the top of the small hundred yuan. If it can be whiter, let alone Zhongda Bai, it is no problem to reach a thousand yuan.

After much thought, Yuan Shu finally decided not to sell this.

He went to an antique market with the jade he wanted to sell. Yuanshu did not go to the jewelry city. The goods in these jewelry cities in the city were circulated among the various bosses. Maybe the thing he wanted to sell was from another store. The goods for this boss finally came to Yuan Shu through the hands of other bosses.

Because blood recovery itself is a way to sell at a loss. If such a disgusting thing happens, if you buy too much and the boss undercuts you, then this is not a blood recovery, but it is just a case of being taken advantage of and selling at a low price. , so if you really want to recover blood jade, you still have to go to the antique market.

Arriving at the noisy antique market, Yuan Shu found a stall selling Hetian jade pendants. He looked at the boss for a moment and asked, "Boss, do you want to accept Hetian jade?"

"Hetian jade? Let me take a look."

The middle-aged man was playing with his mobile phone. When he heard that Yuan Shu was going to sell Hetian jade, he immediately raised his head and raised his chin.

"I want to sell these, see if you can take them."

With that said, Yuan Shu took out a few boxes.

"Let me see."

The middle-aged man put down his phone, opened a box, and saw a Ruyi Ganoderma lucidum full of emerald color inside, and immediately said in astonishment: "Oh, this jade is not bad, full of emerald green color, and the fineness is also good."

"What is this?"

Putting the jade in the box, the boss curiously opened another box and saw a small cicada of emerald green, smoky purple. He was also surprised and said: "Emerald green, smoky purple, two colors. Young man, you are quite young. I like collecting these unpopular materials."

Immediately afterwards, the boss opened the remaining boxes and saw a emerald smoky purple landscape and a topaz, and nodded, "I can accept this topaz, but the price will not be too high."

With that said, the boss brought the box containing the topaz in front of him, holding the jade in his hand and looking at it under the natural light.

"That one is just an ordinary green-yellow jade. It's not considered topaz at all, let alone the best of the yellow jade materials. These green jade stones are more valuable than that frog."

Yuan Shu said when he saw that his boss had no intention of taking over his Cuiqing.

"Oh, regardless of whether it's Ruoqiang yellow or green-yellow material, or whether it's from Montenegro or Qiemo Altyn Mountains, yellow material is relatively rare. It's not as plentiful as white jade. I took a look at this. The fully carved frogs are not badly carved, there is cotton in them, but fortunately there are no cracks, how much do you want to pay for this?"

The boss obviously didn't care much, and then asked playfully.

"It's normal to have cotton and impurities. Without cotton, you can't make jade. These are all natural characteristics. If Hetian jade has no structure, it is glass. If you can accept it, this is the number."

Yuanshu copied the official idioms of the jewelery city bosses, and then held out five fingers to the middle-aged man.

"That won't work. I can't see this price, at most this number."

As he spoke, the boss held out two fingers.

"Too little. You don't want to charge me the price of Hetian jade. It's okay if you don't like the jadeite. Since you are interested in this piece of yellow jade, you have to give me the price seriously, right?"

Yuan Shu shook his head.

"Young man, I have to admit that you like this kind of pretty color material much better than your peers. After all, anyone who really understands jade knows that pretty and beautiful jade is particularly beautiful and expensive. , but you also have to know what kind of pretty color material can have this kind of value, Cuiqing... haha, no."

The boss first praised him, then smiled and shook his head. There was some disapproval in his words.

"The emerald jade has been slowly rising recently. If you collect it now and then sell it to others at a higher price, you can also make a small amount of money. It doesn't matter how much you earn or how little you earn. As long as you can make money, who will be with you?" Money can't get by."

Yuanshu said with a smile.

"I'll tell you this, it's impossible to get rid of emerald jade. This thing can be sold for astronomical prices just over the sea. Do you think we inland people will be so stupid to play with this kind of jade? Don't think too much. Having said that, young man, I see that you also know a little bit. So, as for this frog, I want two hundred. I will also give you two hundred for your three green greens. How about it? If it works, we can do it. If it doesn’t work, we can do it. If so, it can only be pulled down.”

The boss said directly, and when Yuan Shu heard the price, he immediately collected all the emerald jade, "Okay, I can see that you don't really want it anymore, I'd better ask someone else."

Seeing Yuan Shu packing his things with an unhappy expression and about to leave, the boss held him down and said, "Let's do this. I'll give you an extra one hundred or five hundred. How about that?"

Ignoring the boss, the young man immediately put the yellow-mouthed frog into the box, turned around and left. Just as he took a few steps, the boss behind him shouted: "Five hundred and five!"

Pausing, Yuan Shu turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man, then moved his eyes down to the worn shoes on his feet, and said slowly: "It's better to save the five hundred and fifty to buy a pair of good shoes, boss."

After wandering around the stalls in the antique market, Yuan Shu found another stall selling Hetian jade pendants. He soon chatted with the female boss. After a series of exchanges, the female boss also said: "I don't accept Cuiqing, but I can take a look at that yellow mouth of yours."

"alright."

Seeing that it was another frog that didn't want green, Yuan Shu also took out the yellow-mouthed frog. After the female boss turned it around in her hand, she then used a flashlight to shine it through. After a while, she said: "If you can figure it out, this is the price."

After typing a few numbers, the female boss put the calculator in front of Yuanshu.

"Two hundred and two? Can it be higher? Boss, I'm not cheap at all."

Yuan Shu asked when he saw that the price given by the female boss was 20 yuan higher than the male boss just now.

"How much did you charge?"

asked the hostess.

"Six to seven hundred."

Yuanshu pretended to think and said, in fact, he received this yellow-mouthed frog for more than 400 yuan, but the young man did not tell the truth, because to sell things, unless they are of the heirloom level, or the collection level graduate level treasure, otherwise not many jade jewelry can be sold for a higher price than the purchase price.

This group of bosses are all old foxes with deep experience in the world. It is almost impossible to make money from them. You won’t let yourself lose too much.

"Oh, that's not cheap. It's just an ordinary green and yellow mouth. If it wasn't full of carving craftsmanship, I could give you three hundred. But I just polished it and saw that there are still cotton and lines inside to prevent cracks. Diao, two hundred and two is not low anymore, and if you are selling something, you can’t really plan to sell it for six or seven hundred, right?”

The female boss was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"I know, but your price is indeed a bit low. How about I tell you the number? You see, I also fell in love with your stall right away. Isn't it that we are acquainted by fate?"

Yuan Shu asked with a smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to how much you want to sell."

Seeing the young man's humble look, the female boss immediately smiled and nodded.

"Two hundred and eighty, how about it?"

Yuan Shu blurted out directly.

"Two hundred and six, I'll just pay you back. I paid 40 yuan more than just now. To be honest, young man, if I hadn't seen you so polite and handsome, I really wouldn't want to talk to you because of such a little thing. You are wasting time, if you can do it, if you can’t do it, forget it, I still have to do business here.”

As she said that, the female boss looked at the passers-by who came to her stall and asked with a smile: "What do you want?"

"Let's see."

Two young men among the passers-by raised their heads and said.

"Okay, two hundred and six, then, listen to my sister. If she gives you face like this, we can't help but keep it, right?"

Yuan Shu immediately agreed with a smile, and then asked: "Are you sure you don't want to accept these three green greens? Sister, why don't you think about it? The value of green green can increase in the future, although it may not increase by much, but If it appreciates in value, you can definitely make a profit if you sell it at the appreciated price."

"Forget about Cuiqing, look at what I have here, white jade, sugar jade, jasper, etc. If you want to sell these, I will definitely accept them, but forget about Cuiqing."

The female boss pointed to the pendant on her stall, then took out her mobile phone and said, "Here, the payment code."

Seeing that 260 yuan had arrived on his mobile phone, Yuan Shu thanked him and immediately added his contact information to the female boss. After all, the female boss had helped him return satisfactory blood, so he had to make some kind of gesture.

"Thank you, sister, I can come to your house to buy some things later, just as a thank you for helping me recover my blood."

Yuan Shu smiled politely and modestly.

"It's okay. More than 200 yuan is not money for those of us who have been in the jade business for a long time. I see that you know a lot of people at a young age, so I am willing to help you. However, I really have no way to follow the instructions. Your purchase price is six to seven hundred to collect this thing, please forgive me, after all, I really can’t see the price."

The female boss felt quite pleased when she saw Yuan Shu talking like a sister, and she immediately said frankly.

"It's okay, it's already very good. I asked many bosses before, but no one was willing to charge such a high price."

Yuan Shu smiled contentedly.

"If you have higher quality or white jade, sugar jade, jasper or something, you can ask me to sell it. Of course it must be of high quality. These jade are the mainstay of Hetian jade. I can only help you collect such a small thing. , I have collected too many low-end products and basically can’t sell them. They can only be given to relatives and friends or to children. I think you understand this too, and you should know these principles.”

The female boss spread her hands and said.

"Okay, I will definitely give you the things you want as soon as possible in the future. Thank you very much."

With that said, Yuan Shu thanked him again, exchanged a few words with the female boss, then turned and left.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Yuan Shu looked at the 260 yuan in his mobile wallet, and immediately prepared to find the next stall and ask the boss if he would accept his Cuiqing. For a young man, a low-end pornographic material cost more than 400 yuan. Being able to sell blood Yuanshu for [-] times was really a blessing. He saw that the female boss was really helping him, so he couldn't bear to continue to ask her to restore blood.

In fact, Yuanshu just wanted to return as much as possible. It wasn't that he couldn't accept the 200 yuan given by the male boss, but his attitude. Did he really want to accept it? Not at all.

But the female boss was different. She not only accepted the offer sincerely, but also raised the price for him. The most important thing was that Yuan Shu could see that she was also sincere to him, so the young man was also willing to make this friend. As for what was left for him, It’s better to find another boss to sell the jade you want to sell.

When he came to another stall, he saw that the stall owner was a bald man. Yuan Shu also expressed his intention of coming. The boss looked at the young man and then asked indifferently: "What kind of Hetian jade are you going to sell? I'm rubbish." But don’t.”

"Cuiqing...what do you think?"

Yuan Shu paused slightly and asked tentatively.

"Cui Qing?!"

As soon as the bald man heard these two words, he immediately raised his head, but soon he asked calmly: "What kind of green is it? Let me see."

"Row."

Seeing that the bald man had trouble, Yuan Shu also smiled and took out the three green emeralds he wanted to sell. The former took it in his hand and looked at it, and then said: "This Ruyi Ganoderma lucidum is not bad, full of emerald color and fine. Okay, but there is a bit of dirty sugar color on the bottom, without these dirty colors, it is still perfect, just these three?"

"Also, I have asked several stall owners, but none of them are interested in Cuiqing. If you like Cuiqing and want to collect these, I will take out the other Cuiqing."

Yuanshu said.

"Okay, it seems like you are quite confident in yourself. Take out all the green leaves you want to produce and let me take a look."

Seeing Yuanshu like this, the bald man immediately became interested and waved.

"This round sign, this frog, this blockbuster, this Ruyi green pepper, the landscape sign and the magnolia flower."

With that said, Yuan Shu took out another six boxes and put them in front of the boss.

"Good guy, you have quite a lot of emeralds. These ones are pretty good, much better than the three you just had."

The bald man looked at the emerald jade in Yuan Shu's six boxes one by one, and couldn't help but nodded.

"If you intend to accept these six, then you can also accept the other three."

Yuan Shu pointed to three other boxes placed randomly.

"Hahaha, I can't accept all six of them. Let me look at the five of you. If possible, I can accept one or two."

The bald man smiled and shook his head, then picked up the other greens one by one except the round sign.

"I saw that you were so interested in Cuiqing, I thought you were going to take it all away."

Seeing that the bald man was not going to take it all away, Yuan Shu suddenly smiled and said.

"Cui Qing is worthless, but I like this thing. Only white-banded green is the prettiest thing in green. Don't look at it. Many people who can accept green green like full green green. What about yellow-banded green? That's because White jade, as well as the white jade from Laokeng, and some white jade that can reach the level of suet, have an irreplaceable position in everyone's mind, so no one likes white jade."

The bald boss picked up Yuan Shu’s white and green landscape sign, looked at it, and said with a smile.

"It seems that your aesthetic taste is quite high."

Yuan Shu nodded slightly. This was a master who had foresight. Although he was a little reluctant to part with his white hair, Yuan Shu also knew that this boss could not take everything, so he felt more at ease.

"No need to flatter me, how much are you two going to sell them for?"

The bald man waved his hand, and then put the blockbuster Baidaicui and Shanshui brand Baidaicui in the palm of his hand.

"I paid one thousand for this blockbuster little cicada holding bamboo shoots, and eight hundred for this landscape brand."

Yuanshu pointed and said.

"This little cicada is well carved, and the bamboo shoots are full. It looks like corn at first glance. There are cotton dots and water lines on it. The green color of the little cicada is the most delicate and beautiful. The bamboo shoots below are also white. Okay, five hundred, that landscape brand is about two hundred, it’s bas-relief, and it’s also frosted. Although it looks beautiful from a distance, if you don’t look at it from a good angle, you can’t see clearly the carvings and green color on it.”

The bald boss put the two pendants in his hands and turned them while saying.

"For the Shanshui brand, please add another hundred, boss, that two hundred... is really too low."

Yuan Shu estimated the starting price and said with a wry smile.

"Oh... I'm really giving you a lot of money for this two hundred. Why don't you give me this magnolia flower? How much did you pay for the magnolia flower?"

The bald boss scratched his head, obviously unwilling to pay more, then picked up the magnolia flower and asked.

"Magnolia costs [-], or [-]. I'll go to the Shanshui brand to make up [-], so both of them are [-] for you. How about that?"

Yuan Shu thought for a while and said.

"Okay, anyway, these emerald greens of yours are square cards, Xiao Chan, and this magnolia flower is not bad, but it's a bit gray, I'll take it as a favor for you, you three low-grade ones Cuiqing, I’ll take all the [-] yuan in one hand, okay, if you can, just give me the payment code.”

Nodding, the bald man took out his cell phone.

After selling three white-stained Cuiqings and three lower-end Cuiqings to Bald Man, Yuan Shu looked at the balance of more than 500 yuan in his wallet and couldn't help but sigh. If he continues to sell like this, even if he loses all his Even after selling all the things, I couldn't get more than 4000 yuan. Although I didn't suffer too much loss from selling these things, if I couldn't exceed my capital by too much, I couldn't get the maximum benefit at the minimum price.

"I can only sell those sugar jades and white jades..."

Yuan Shu touched several small boxes deep in his bag and murmured softly. These pieces of jade that are in line with the current hot trends are his last hope. If these jade cannot be sold for a sufficient price, then Yuan Shu However, he really has to use all the jade collected to pay for the money.

After wandering around the antique market for nearly three hours, Yuan Shu finally got together 4000 yuan. Relying on his eloquent tricks, he even raised an extra 3000 yuan. After all, the stall owners in the antique market Not all of them are monkeys and monkeys. There will always be a few people who are taken advantage of and feel that they have made money, so behind the hardships, there is also a bit of luck.

As for the frustration of selling green jade, it is just because this thing is not very popular in this era, but other things are still hard to put down, such as some pretty sugar white jade, pure white jade and jasper.

However, behind getting so much money, the young man paid a heavy price. After selling the jade he brought, he had very little left in his family. Except for the smoke and purple Ping An card around his neck, maybe It’s nothing.

"Fortunately, I brought enough things when I went out this time. Although I have heard about it, I didn't expect that this kind of merchant who collects second-hand jade is even more desperate than I imagined. I am exhausted."

After wiping the sweat from his forehead and back, Yuan Shu breathed a long sigh of relief.
