Chapter 44 A Box of Jade and Jewelry

To be honest, Zhou Taixiang was really happy to see Qin Guanlai.

Because on that unicorn glass pendant, Zhou Taixiang made a lot of money.

On the same day, with a contract, Zhou Taixiang got the colored glaze pendant without spending a penny, and then began to look for a buyer.

Just seven days ago, the eldest grandson of Guo Wanwan, a great salt merchant in Suzhou, was born. After Zhou Taixiang knew about it, he began to sell the glazed pendant door-to-door, and named it 'Kirin Glazed Pendant'.

When a child is born, the unicorn has the best meaning. Guo Wanwan is also willing to spend money to give the best things to his eldest grandson, to bless his safety, and directly pays 3800 guan for that glass pendant.

Once in and out, without spending a cent, Zhou Taixiang made a net profit of 800 guan. When he saw Qin Guan coming over today, he naturally greeted him with a smile.

Zhou Taixiang asked Qin Guan to wait on the second floor, went up to the third floor by himself, and came down with a sandalwood box in his arms after a while.

Seeing the wooden box in Zhou Taixiang's hand, Qin Guan felt countless ￥￥ characters flashing in front of his eyes.

The inside of the box is divided into four grids, lined with yellow silk cloth, and items are placed in the four grids.

Taking out two pairs of white jade bracelets from one of the grids, Zhou Taixiang said: "Young Master Qin, these are authentic Hetian mutton fat jade bracelets, two pairs of four, made by jade craftsmen in Suzhou. One is worth 300 guan, a total of 1200 guan.”

Qin Guan took a bracelet, his hands were warm and smooth, it felt really good.

Qin Guan nodded in satisfaction, "Yes."

Seeing Qin Guan's approval of the price, Zhou Taixiang showed a smile on his face. At this price, he didn't cheat Qin Guan. Of course, he didn't sell it at a low price. It's good that Qin Guan agrees now.

Take the second item from the chest.

"Young Master Qin, these are two pairs of four jadeite bracelets, all of which are top-quality jadeites. If they are not good, I will not buy them. Each bracelet costs 150 guan, and the total price is 600 guan. What do you think?" Zhou Taixiang said, and put one of them A whole body green jadeite bracelet was handed over to Qin Guan for inspection.

Qin Guan was surprised. Such a good jadeite bracelet should be made of green glass. In the real world, such a bracelet might sell for around 500 million to 800 million yuan, which is more expensive than suet jade bracelets. How could Zhou Taixiang Here, it is twice as cheap as the suet jade bracelet.

Qin looked at the jadeite bracelet. Although he didn't have the kind of elation that a woman sees when she sees a gemstone, she still felt that the bracelet was very beautiful.

"Why are jade bracelets cheaper than suet jade?" Qin Guan asked with doubts in his heart.

Zhou Taixiang said: "This emerald jade was passed down from the Dali Kingdom. Although it is also precious, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in our Great Zhao Kingdom who like it, but how can the price be compared with the suet jade?"

Dali Kingdom, the name made Qin Guan a little unresponsive. Isn't the jadeite from Myanmar?

After thinking about it, I realized that, indeed, the current Myanmar is just a state capital of Dali Kingdom, named Yongchang Mansion, and now it is true to say that the emeralds come from Dali Kingdom.

Jade culture has been circulating in China for thousands of years. There is a saying that a gentleman is like jade. For Chinese people, jade is not just an ornament, but has been endowed with extraordinary meaning.In comparison, emerald is just a precious gem.

Zhou Taixiang took out a red brocade pouch from the third grid, opened it and poured it in the palm of his hand, his palm suddenly turned red.

Four blood-red irregular stones landed in his palm, ranging from large to small, the small ones were the size of peanuts and the large ones were like marbles.

Qin watched it, and asked tentatively, "Is this a ruby?"

Zhou Taixiang smiled and said: "Mr. Qin has good eyesight. This is a rough ruby. As long as it is polished, it can become the best decoration, and it can be inlaid on jewelry to add brilliance."

"These rubies also came from Dali, and the price is high. I used some small ones to make jewelry, and I kept the big ones. Last time Mr. Qin said he wanted to buy gems, I thought of them."

Qin Guan remembered that besides emeralds, Myanmar is also famous for rubies. Most of the world's top rubies come from Myanmar.

However, the value of rubies also varies greatly. The main difference lies in the color. For example, the marble-sized ruby ​​in Zhou Taixiang’s hand is estimated to weigh 10,000 carats. The color is poor, and the value is only [-]+.The color is good but the price is priceless, and it is not uncommon to sell tens of millions.

"How much are these rubies?" Qin Guan asked.

"The total price of this bag of rubies is 800 guan. What does Mr. Qin think?"

To be honest, Qin Guan has no idea about the value of this thing. Besides, gems are not easy to price. What you like is priceless, and what you don't like is just a stone.

Qin Guan also didn't have any ink marks, "Eight hundred guan, it's fine."

Anyway, if glass is exchanged for gems, Qin Guan will not lose money no matter what.

The smile on Zhou Taixiang's face was even bigger. It seemed that this time the business was almost done, and he still had a fourth item.This kind of item has a higher value, and he believes that Mr. Qin will like it, and he can make another fortune from Qin Guan in this business.

Zhou Taixiang put away the other things on the table, and said to Qin Guan: "Young Master Qin, wait a moment, I have something good to show you, you absolutely like it."

Qin Guan was also puzzled, wondering what kind of mystery this old Zhou was playing.

Zhou Taixiang got up, closed the window, and the room was dark immediately. Zhou Taixiang returned to the table, reached out and took out a small box from the treasure chest, and said to Qin Guan: "Young Master Qin, this is the legendary treasure. Don't know if you've seen it before."

With that said, he opened the small box in his hand.

Suddenly, a misty green light appeared in the small box, it was a bead emitting light, about the size of a paintball bead.

Seeing this bright light, Qin Guan was startled, and immediately stood up, keeping away as much as possible.

Zhou Taixiang was taken aback by Qin Guan's action, and he asked suspiciously, "Young Master Qin, what's the matter, this is a night pearl from the Western Regions, and it's priceless."

The corner of Qin Guan's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: "I don't know if this thing has strong radiation." He knew about things like night pearls, which are usually fluorite minerals, which contain some rare elements, and they will emit radiation under certain conditions. cause glow.

And some luminous pearls contain radiation harmful to the human body, so you can't play with them casually.

Qin Guan asked, "How much is this luminous pearl worth?"

Zhou Taixiang said: "2000 guan, the main reason is that this luminous pearl is too small. I know that Suzhou Pan Yuanwai has a walnut-sized luminous pearl, which shines at night and can see things. That is the real treasure. Treasures are often taken out to enjoy at night."

"It is said that that bead is worth tens of thousands of guan." After Zhou Taixiang finished speaking, he couldn't help but smack his lips.

Qin Guan cursed in his heart, hoping that Yuanwai Pan would not be killed by radiation.

"Does Mr. Qin like this luminous pearl?" Zhou Taixiang looked at Qin Guan.

Qin Guan rolled his eyes and felt that he had found another way to make money. He smiled and said, "I have a better night pearl than this one in my hand. Shopkeeper Zhou should keep this one for himself."
