Chapter 296 Entering the Jade Shop
Qin Lang likes to do the next thing the most.
Sitting cross-legged, silently pursuing the Red Flame Art, Qin Lang began to absorb the spiritual energy from the jade carving.
After one night, Qin Lang absorbed about one fifth of all the spiritual energy.
This is worth nearly a week of hard work.
Of course, Qin Lang is only practicing the second level of Qi, knowing that he can no longer absorb more spiritual energy in his dantian, otherwise, those spiritual energy will be wasted.
Therefore, the remaining four-fifths naturally have to wait for later absorption.
In the following days, Qin Lang finally absorbed all the spiritual energy in the jade carvings. Not only did he feel that the true energy in his body was obviously thicker, but his strength also increased significantly!
Qin Lang was naturally very satisfied with this result.
You know, without this jade carving, he would have to spend a whole month practicing hard to barely achieve the same effect.
After all the spiritual energy in the jade carving disappeared, the jade carving itself did not lose its color, nor was it damaged, and its collection value still exists.
Qin Lang naturally wouldn't let him put hundreds of thousands of dollars on it. Anyway, the jade carving was "forced to snatch" from Li Daxin for nothing.
However, what made Qin Lang a little stunned was that he did not have an acquaintance in the antiques or auction industry. After thinking about it, Qin Lang planned to go to the provincial capital and find a famous treasure shop there. With the professional and formality of that kind of place, the things can be traded there for a good price.
Even if it may be lower than the auction, Qin Lang did not intend to spend too much time attending the auction, review and appraisal, and paying deposits, etc., which would take up too much time, just hundreds of thousands, and it would not be necessary.
So Qin Lang chose one morning, took the jade carving, drove to Qingshui Street, where antiques and antiques were more active in the provincial capital. After asking around, Qin Lang went straight to a treasure shop called "Fengyazhai".
Because most of the ten people he inquired about recommended this treasure store, and he also searched for information about a treasure store on his mobile phone and found that it was a time-honored brand that has been circulating since the Qing Dynasty, and its reputation and reputation are very guaranteed.
Qin Lang knew that the jade carving was genuine, and also learned the approximate price of the jade carving from Li Daxin. So after he arrived at the treasure store, he negotiated with a middle-aged man who was responsible for the identification and transaction of jade. Naturally, he had a clear idea. After the identification of the middle-aged man, he quoted a price of 900,000.
This price is similar to what Li Daxin said.
But Qin Lang was not in a hurry and said he wanted to add another 300,000.
Li Daxin was able to buy it for 900,000 yuan, probably because it was used to make connections. The value of the jade carving itself should be more than 900,000 yuan.
Finally, the boss of Zhenbao Store came forward and discussed with Qin Lang. The two sides made a deal for 1.05 million yuan. The money was quickly transferred to Qin Lang's bank card. Qin Lang left the jade carving and left Zhenbao Store in a happy mood.
Qin Lang also plans to invest in Lanrun’s new cosmetics production for more than one million.
Although he currently has very little balance on hand, he lives in a house that he even rents, and the only one he has to take advantage of is probably only a Mercedes-Benz. However, Lanrun Company, whose fixed assets and intangible assets are worth ten million, is an absolute money tree in the future!
You should know that in addition to the Lanrun whitening essence that has been launched and has been loved by customers, the Lanrun brand shower gel, facial cleanser and hand cream developed by Qin Lang himself have all been released. It is currently being registered and reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration. With Ye Mingcheng's relationship, it is certain that he will get the approval document and will be put into production soon and produce the first batch of products.
The sales prospects of new products will definitely be great, and with strong quality as support, it is impossible to lose money at all!
Therefore, Qin Lang is also willing to be a "poor" for the time being.
When the company grows and grows, he becomes a millionaire and billionaire, and it will not be too late to buy a villa or drive a luxury car.
Thinking of this, Qin Lang wanted to transfer the money on the card to Tang Xue. Because Tang Xue was responsible for the finance of Lanrun Company, Qin Lang felt relieved with her in charge.
However, when the phone called, Tang Xue's cell phone prompted to turn off.
It still looks like it is around 10 o'clock in the morning, and it's not a weekend. Tang Xue should be working, so why is her phone still turned off?
Qin Lang guessed that it might be that Tang Xue encountered problems like business negotiations and needed to shut down the phone to avoid being disturbed.
Qin Lang was not in a hurry to transfer the money, so he put down his cell phone. Seeing that there were many antique stalls and antique shops on Qingshui Street, Qin Lang thought about it and was coming, so let's take a look.
You don’t have to find a baby or something, it’s good to feel the atmosphere here.
Qin Lang so he stayed in some stores he was interested in. He kept shopping for an hour and didn't buy anything, but it really opened his eyes.
It is a little regrettable that those antiques with vintages are unlikely to be presented by merchants, so Qin Lang did not find antiques containing spiritual energy.
It was almost 11:30 in the morning, and Qin Lang was planning to return and drove to other places in the provincial capital for lunch, but suddenly found that the front of his left was a large area, mainly decorated with black and white, with a large appearance, and there were obviously more people entering and leaving than the surrounding stores.
After looking at the sign again, Qin Lang realized that this was originally a jade shop specializing in jade, but the business scope marked under the sign was in addition to the usual jade sales, jade identification, jade commissioned auction, etc., there is another rare and special thing.
It actually sells jadeite rough stones!
To put it bluntly, in this large jade store, there are raw stones for sale, and customers can choose raw stones from them. If you are lucky, jade can be produced from the raw stones, which will make a profit or even make a big profit.
Qin Lang finally understood why this jade store is more lively than other stores. It turns out that most customers should be gambled on stones!
After all, there are still many people in society who want to use their luck to make a lot of money and get rich overnight.
Qin Lang discovered that he was really interested in this way of gambling stones. Although he had never thought of getting rich by relying on this, he was still itchy and wanted to try his luck.
This is the same as having the remaining money on hand and then walking on the street when I meet a merchant selling scratch cards, I want to spend a few dollars to buy scratch cards.
Qin Lang walked directly into the jade shop.
The interior decoration of the jade shop is mainly white, not only spacious and bright, but also has very soft lighting lines. Some decorations are classic, showing high taste. There are three floors that Qin Lang can see, and the first floor is naturally the most lively.
Because the first floor is where the raw stone is sold.
A huge steel glass transparent container with a length of more than fifty meters and a width of twenty meters accounts for almost half of the space of the first floor, which is very eye-catching.
The container is filled with stones of various sizes, mainly gray-white and black.
Many customers walked around the container, selecting the rough stones they thought were the most likely to cut out jade. Many people were also communicating with each other, making the first-floor lobby very lively.
After being selected for the raw stone, you only need to go to the counter to pass the weight and pay the money to carry the raw stone to the verification area in the other corner of the hall. There are seven or eight precision cutting machines there, each machine is on duty by a wealth of cutting masters to cut the stones on site. If you are lucky enough to produce jade, you can even go directly to the second floor and sell the jade.
Such one-stop service makes gambling stones very convenient for customers on the basis of being full of excitement, so it is no wonder that there are so many customers.
Qin Lang did not choose the raw stones first, but instead found a pretty counter girl and asked some basic common sense about jade, and learned a little about what gambling stones were.
Jade raw stone, commonly known as gambling goods, is the stones placed in fiberglass containers are all raw stones. These raw stones are basically imported from Myanmar. Because they remain intact, the naked eye cannot tell whether there is jade inside or whether it will turn green. Therefore, if you participate in gambling stones, it depends entirely on experience and knowledge.
However, if you have only a little understanding of jade, it doesn’t matter, you can rely on luck.
After all, even if you are a person with rich experience, you will misunderstand gambling. Most of the time it is really related to luck.
If you win a bet, the raw stone you buy for a few hundred yuan can instantly bring dozens or hundreds of times or even more rewards, so gambling stones is the most exciting.
Of course, if merchants dare to sell large quantities of raw stones, the risks must be controlled in advance. In fact, it is also difficult to "grow green" among these stones.
Qin Lang thought through the reasons.
After the raw stone is mined from the place of origin, it will be selected by some large jade groups and forces at the collection site. These people are experts and can always pick out the rough stone that is most likely to "green".
Therefore, after this first round, the remaining rough stones can produce jade, which are naturally reduced a lot.
Then, the raw stones will be transported from the mining site to being shipped out by merchants and finally placed on the shelves. Some middlemen will select them. After a while, the remaining raw stones can be made of jade, but I am afraid that one of the two thousand pieces will be good.
"Although everyone knows that the probability of jadeite being produced by raw stones is almost the same as five million people who have won a lottery ticket, it is almost impossible to encounter, but it still flows in one after another. It can only be said that this gambling stone is so exciting." Qin Lang couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at the sighs coming from the cutting center, Qin Lang also knew that no one was lucky enough to "grease green", which undoubtedly confirmed his judgment.
But no matter how much he sighed, Qin Lang had never thought about making money by gambling stones anyway. He just wanted to choose a few stones to have fun, so he walked to the pile of raw stones and looked at it.
In the fourth floor office area of the Jade Store, one of the offices with European style decoration and authentic Persian carpets on the floor looks very quiet, and it looks like a quadruple in the first floor lobby.
On a white coffee table, there are fruits placed, which are particularly eye-catching, as well as two goblets and a bottle of 1982-year-old Lafite - the best red wine that most people can never taste in their lifetime.
A man and a woman, sitting on the sofa across the coffee table.
"Tang Xue, I really can't think of any reason to reject me." The man was in his thirties, his hair was combed back and his hair was waxed, which was dazzlingly shiny. The man was wearing a precious casual outfit, with his legs raised, holding a goblet and taking a sip of red wine, and then said with great confidence.
