Chapter 98 This must be an imitation!

When I walked into Yufengzhai, I found that it was indeed different from other stores. Although it also deals in gold, silver and jewelry, the main thing is jade. All kinds of jade and jade, of different sizes, do not look as dazzling as gold and silver, but a kind of pleasing to the eyes.

Li Weidong said, "Xia... Ruobing, are your parents there? Can I show them my jade?

Unexpectedly, Xia Ruobing's face suddenly stood up and said coldly, "I told you that this store was mine. Didn't you hear it? Don't mention my parents. If you have something to say, if you can't trust me, why do you come in?

Li Weidong was stunned, and then he was very unhappy. Although you are a beautiful MM, you don't have to talk like this, do you? I didn't ask you to come in, okay? Xia Ruobing probably felt a little lost her temper. She smiled apologetically and said, "This store is really under my name. Usually, my second uncle helps me take care of it. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's go. I'll take you to see the second uncle. In the jade circle of Ninggang, if my second uncle ranks second, no one dares to rank first!"

After saying that, he pulled Li Weidong's arm and ran upstairs through the business hall. Li Weidong couldn't help sweating. The little girl was only seventeen or eight years old, but it gave people the feeling that she was unpredictable, like the clouds in the sky. It is said that she is like a little sister, which was deep but extremely mature at the moment just now. If it is mature, this jumping look is full of childishness. Oh, what kind of girl is this?

The upstairs layout is very simple, with four white walls and only a few ink landscapes. Directly opposite is a bookcase. A 50 or 60-year-old man is sitting in front of the desk reading a book, holding that kind of threaded book. Seeing Xia Ruobing coming up, he stood up with a smile and said, "Bingbing, aren't you going out to play?" Ha ha, who is this young man?

The old man is energetic, with a amiable smile, not fat, not thin, not tall or short. He wears a Tang suit, which is very elegant, but he is kind to Xia Ruobing's tone, and his expression seems to have a kind of respect. Li Weidong felt strange secretly and heard Xia Ruobing say, "Uncle, this is my friend Li Weidong. He has a piece of jade and wants to find someone to look at. Please help him take a look."

The second uncle smiled and said, "Bingbing's friend, of course, no problem, as long as you can trust my old man."

Li Weidong quickly took out the tears of the holy beast and handed them over. The second uncle took it in his hand. First, he took it and then shone at the sun. He smiled and said to Li Weidong, "Young man, aren't you been cheated? This is an imitation. Although the workmanship is not bad, it should not be valuable.

Li Weidong is particularly angry when he hears the word imitation now. TMD said that this thing was worthless, but he dared to bet 100% and saw it fall out of the eyes of the wolf god. How could it be said to be an imitation? He immediately smiled and said, "Old gentleman, it doesn't matter whether this jade is valuable or not. It doesn't matter even if it's a piece of scraps. But what I can assure you is that this is 100% real jade, which was handed down from my ancestors. How can it be an imitation?

"Ancestral? Haha!" The second uncle sat back in the chair with a smile and said pleasantly, "I'm just talking about things. Don't be unhappy, kid. I guess you're not the first to come to me. You should have been to other jewelry stores on this street, right?

Li Weidong was secretly surprised that the old man was a little older, but his eyes were really like a torch. He nodded and said, "Yes, I have been to Yongxin and Wansheng."

The second uncle held the tears of the holy beast and said with a smile, "I guess they all believe that this is an imitation, right?"

Li Weidong turned his eyes and said, "Master Yu of Yongxin, give me a price of 30,000 yuan, but I didn't sell it."

"Oh? Thirty thousand yuan? Hahahaha!"

The second uncle laughed loudly, and Xia Ruobing couldn't help saying, "Second uncle, what are you laughing at?"

The second uncle stretched out a finger and knocked on the table and said slowly, "This little friend, I have always been straightforward and wrong. Don't be unhappy: Master Yu of Yongxin said that he would give you 30,000 yuan. If this is true, then either he asked you for it, or he is afraid of you. How about it, old man? Is that right?"

At this point, Li Weidong can't make up anything. He can only say, "How do you...how do you know?"

"Ah, how dare you lie to my second uncle!"

Xia Ruobing's eyes stared. The second uncle waved his hand to her with a smile and said, "Master Yu of Yongxin, a connoon who plays with jade in Ninggang, is also countless. How can he not see such an imitation? According to the market price, this thing can be worth up to three or five hundred yuan, but even if it is three or five hundred yuan, people in this industry will not accept it.

Li Weidong couldn't help shouting and said, "Three or five hundred yuan are not accepted. Why? Even if it's a handicraft, it's more than that, right?

The second uncle shook his head and said, "Little friend, you don't understand. There is a rule in a line. Anyone who plays with jade can have a good eye, collect dead jade, rotten jade, or even lose money, but they can't collect imitations and make taboos. Yongxin is always mean. If he doesn't call the police, it's your luck.

Li Weidong sweated for a moment and said, "Sir, I don't hide it from you. Master Yu did say that this was an imitation and said that he would send me to the Public Security Bureau. I don't know how to explain it to you, but I just can't figure it out. Why do you just look at it and insist that it's an imitation?

The second uncle laughed and said, "Young man, you still think that my old man didn't look carefully, right? Well, then I'll tell you why we only look at it twice and insist that it's an imitation. In fact, to put it bluntly, the workmanship of this thing, even if it is one in a hundred, or even fake, it can't hide it from the eyes of insiders, because it is not jade at all, but emeralds!"

"Emerald?" Li Weidong was stunned again and said, "I've heard of emeralds. It seems to be similar to emerald, agate and so on. Isn't it also a kind of jade?"

"No, no, no, it's not jade, it's a gem!" The second uncle solemnly picked up the tears of the holy beast and said, "The four major gems in the world are diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. These all belong to the gem level and are very different from ordinary jade. Even the emerald we often say is called emerald, which also refers to the color of emerald, not that emerald is equivalent to emerald. Jade is just jade. Unlike gemstones, it is completely different from gemstones and emeralds. Oh, by the way, in modern scientific terms, gemstones refer to single mineral crystals, while jade is an aggregate or rock of minerals, which is the most essential difference.

Li Weidong seemed to understand something vaguely, but he was not sure. He hesitated and said, "But what does this have to do with me?"

"Why doesn't it matter? Do you know the price of emeralds on the market? The second uncle smiled and said slowly, "The pure emerald can be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per carat, while the three carat can be sold for 100,000 yuan, and the ten-carat emerald can be sold for about two million yuan. That is to say, the larger the weight, the more it will appreciate. This price is about a quarter of that of diamonds. Ha ha, young man, I think you are a smart person. Now, you should understand, right?

"You mean...isn't my emerald too...too big?"

"Exact" The second uncle nodded slightly and said slowly, "Pure emerald, attention, I'm not talking about emerald ore. A pure emerald of more than 30 carats is already very rare, and the price is also amazingly high. Even the largest emerald in the world, the Andean Star of the London Museum, is only 80.61 carats. And your one, at least 1,500 to 1,600 carats, is almost a catty. Ha ha, do you think this is not an imitation, what is it?
