Unparalleled Treasures

In the facade of Chow Tai Fook Gold Store, there are three counters, the left side is gold ornaments, the middle is platinum and pearls and other accessories, and the right counter is jade pieces, but the number is far lower than that of gold and silver jewelry.

The store is very large, with more than a dozen beautiful female shop assistants standing at three counters. The female shop assistant who greeted Zhang Can has round hair and looks like a flight attendant, but the clothes in this shop look like The waiter in the restaurant.

"Sir, what type and style do you like?"

It seems that Tiantian is very experienced in sales and speaks fluently. While talking, he spread his right hand to guide Zhang Can to look at the platinum and jade counters.

Zhang Can smiled. Whenever a customer arrives, the first thing the female clerks in these gold stores do is to lead the customer to the platinum jewelry and jade jewelry counters. The last thing they want to introduce to customers is gold and silver jewelry.

Most people don't know this point, but Zhang Can understands it very well, because the selling price of gold and silver jewelry is only one layer more than the real price, and gold and silver are circulating goods, and its price is the closest to the international price. For example, one gram of gold is worth 360 yuan. After it is made into gold jewelry, generally it will not be higher than [-] yuan. Two, or four hundred and three, and then the weight of the gold jewelry you choose will be used to calculate the total price.

As for the gold jewelry sold in cash, the female clerk's commission will be relatively low, generally only 1000 percent, and the clerk's commission for a piece of gold jewelry worth [-] yuan is only [-] yuan.

However, the price of platinum is inflated. If the principal is 15.00, the selling price will be 300, and the profit will be at least half of it. The selling price is higher than that of gold, and the price of any piece of jewelry will be three to five thousand. Unlike gold, there are two or three hundred yuan. The clerk's sales commission ratio of platinum is higher than that of gold. A necklace can cost more than one hundred. Selling three or five pieces a day, the bonuses are several hundred, plus the basic salary, it is not surprising that the monthly salary exceeds [-], so when a customer watches, the first recommendation of the shop assistants is platinum and jade, especially jade.

It is said that the profit of platinum is high, it is only one or two times, and the high one is two or three times, but jade is different. The premium of jade is unlimited. Among the jades in gold shops, the most common and most common ones are also from Myanmar. Jewelry made of jadeite.

This emerald is actually a very distant and strange thing to ordinary people. The impression of most people in China is that it stays on TV or in the counter of a gold shop. They are very strange to it. It is even more difficult to identify it, because there are so many frauds in pursuit of profit, and ordinary people have no way to do it.

If the value of an ordinary, low-level jadeite is only about 100 yuan, after processing, it may be marked with a price of 10, or even 100. The jade that the boss likes is only worth between [-] to [-] to [-] to [-] yuan. After being processed and carefully carved, the selling price is usually more than [-] yuan. Sometimes the selling price will be marked up to several million, and the profit is at least five or six times. Above, even dozens of times higher, and the commission of the salesperson is even higher. Selling a piece of jade worth tens of thousands of yuan can at least tens of thousands of commissions. Even if a bracelet worth only one thousand, the commission is more than [-]. It is the highest among all the jewelry in the store, because there is a big difference between the principal and the selling price.

I am in this line of business, so Zhang Can doesn't plan to buy jade pieces. The first piece he saw was a green jade pendant. It was clear in a second that this jade pendant was only carved from a piece of oily green jadeite with a good texture. After chemical coloring, the color is good and the transparency looks good. It is marked with a price of 1000. , but the actual cost will never exceed [-] yuan.

Zhang Can doesn't know much about platinum, so he didn't plan to buy platinum jewelry. Platinum necklaces and bracelets are better, especially platinum and diamond rings. The price of diamonds is also tricky. Only gold can preserve its value and suffer less.

Zhang Can understood it very well, so after thinking about it, he felt that he didn't want to buy anything. The female clerk introduced Datong, but Zhang Can almost didn't listen to it, and raised his head and said "oh".

From the expression of this sound, the female clerk was very disappointed. The clerks in the gold shop will be trained to recognize people, so as to identify which customers passing by will buy, which ones are less likely to buy, and which ones are rich and will buy more. many.

For Zhang Can, this girl shop is actually a bit of a hassle. Either Zhang Can doesn’t want to buy it, or he can’t afford it, or he will calculate the gains and losses when he glances at something with his black and white eyes, and whether it is worth buying it.

Looking at it, Zhang Can didn't even look at the platinum counter and the jade counter. He pointed to the gold jewelry counter and said, "Then... I want that!"

What Zhang Can pointed to was a carved gold bracelet. Judging by the weight, it was at least between 24 and 90.00 grams. The most important thing is that the bracelet is made of [-]k gold, which is the highest purity type. The gold degree reaches [-]% [-], and the selling price is [-] grams, which is closer to the actual price. The sales clerk has the lowest commission, but it is heavy and costs dozens of dollars.

For other gold jewelry, the commission is slightly higher, because of the color problem, other gold jewelry, the color is 22k, [-]k, [-]k, etc., most people can't tell, don't understand, gold There are many ways in it.

When the clerk in the gold store introduces you, he will go around to avoid some sensitive places. For example, Zhang Can just pointed at the gold bracelet, and the female clerk immediately took him to the counter and pointed to another bracelet: "Sir, you Do you want to buy a gold bracelet? In fact, I will introduce you to another one that is better. This style is the latest. You see, it is made of pure gold. The weight is about the same as that one, and the price is also the same. But our shop does activities , this new model will present a Burmese Laokeng emerald Guanyin Buddha statue, which is worth a thousand yuan!"

The female clerk said, then turned around and took out a jade Guanyin statue from the box under the counter, and pointed it to Zhang Can: "Sir, look, the price and value of gold bracelets of the same weight are the same, but the new ones can be bought." Give the Jade Guanyin statue, take this gift back to your girlfriend or mother, it’s a good gift, isn’t it?”

Zhang Can laughed, this female clerk is really eloquent, not to mention that the gold content of this new bracelet is only 90.00 karats, which cannot be called "pure gold" at all, and the gold content that can usually be called "pure gold" must reach 22 More than five percent, that is to say, only a minimum of 90.00k gold can be called pure gold, and a thousand pure gold will be called pure gold. The sales clerk will say that it is pure gold. In fact, the highest purity of gold is only [-]% [-].

And this [-]k gold bracelet, although the weight is the same as that pure gold bracelet, but the actual value is one-third less, so the sales clerk's promotion will be higher.

The female clerk on this one is just playing with the language mechanism. When she sells you a bill, it will also write it clearly for you. It is 22k gold, not 24, or 24k gold, so you can find trouble when you come back. There is no way, if the ticket is issued with [-]k gold, but the one sold to you is [-]k gold, that is evidence, but the gold shop is playing such a trap, how can you not understand it?

Zhang Can said with a faint smile: "Miss, how much gold are you talking about? How much money is this?"

The female clerk was stunned. Zhang Can’s question made her heart tremble. If someone asked clearly, then her answer is very important. If the customer takes it back and it is different from what she said, it will be her trouble. .

Zhang Can said lightly again: "Miss, if you don't tell me, then I will tell you that the one I chose is 24k gold, with a gold content of more than 90.00%. It can be called pure gold, but it is not a thousand pure gold. And you The gold content of the one introduced to me is only about 80.00%, which is far from the pure gold you mentioned. You can see that its color is light yellow, while the color of the one I chose is much darker, reddish yellow. The higher the purity of gold, the lower the hardness. High-purity gold is very soft and can scratch marks with your fingernails. Gold with low fineness has higher hardness and cannot scratch marks. Miss, would you like to try it?"

The female clerk suddenly changed color. She didn't expect this young man to be an expert, and he understood what he said better than her!

Zhang Can said again: "I know the tricks you guys are playing. Take out the bracelets and have a look. I guarantee that these two models have the stamps of 'pure gold' or '[-]k gold' on them. You can tell me that they are enough. Gold, playing with words. After I bought it back, I couldn’t find any troubles from you, because it was already marked as [-]k gold, and I bet the invoice you gave me would also clearly state that it was [-]k. gold instead of writing 'pure gold'!"

The female shop assistant's face turned red and blue, it doesn't matter if she can't sell it, but she has some face when she gives such a clear and clear reprimand to an expert customer without saying a word!

Zhang Can has been dealing with dealers in the antique flea market for a long time. What he plays is his eyesight. In addition, he now has the perspective ability of black and white eyes. These things that can be distinguished with the naked eye cannot be hidden from him.

"Miss, anyone who does business wants to make money. You can buy and sell freely, but you can't bully the dark room, so your approach is wrong. I don't want to say too much here, as long as everyone understands it in their hearts, um, that's it, you give me Invoice, I want that pure gold bracelet!"

The female shop assistant blushed and issued an invoice to Zhang Can, feeling ashamed and even a little ashamed.

The invoice came out, and the price was [-] yuan. Zhang Can took out his bank card and swiped the card to sign the bill. After the female clerk wrapped the box and put it in a colorful and beautiful small plastic bag, he respectfully handed it over. Gave it to Zhang Can, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Sir, please put it away!"

Zhang Can smiled, and didn't say anything more, he had to be forgiving and forgiving, he had no grudges against the female shop assistant, and he wasn't fooled anyway, so he left after buying something, but just walked away with the bag in his hand. After taking a step, a crisp female voice said, "Sir, wait a minute..."

Zhang Can thought it was a female clerk, so why did he call him? Turning his head, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The one who called him was not the female clerk of the gold shop, but a customer outside the counter, with a short skirt and fringed shirt and a long hair shawl. , looks extremely beautiful, is a young girl with excellent temperament.

"You... you called me?" Zhang Can asked suspiciously, not sure yet.

The pretty girl nodded and said, "Yes, it's me. I want to discuss with you, okay?"

Zhang Can saw that the girl's eyes were full of pleading intentions. Of course, he would not respond rudely to such a beautiful girl. It doesn't matter.

"Well, tell me, what's the matter?" Zhang Can asked while guessing, what did she want to do when she stopped her?But most of them are not female liars who ask themselves for money and borrow money, although there are many such people now.
