Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 482 Rumors about Yu Village
“There are so many anchors shooting videos.”

As Chen Yi walked along, he had seen no less than ten photographers. The people they photographed were naturally the anchors who were negotiating prices with the stall owners in front of the stalls.

Let fans from all over the country see how you negotiate the price and what the final transaction price is, and finally sell it as a benefit. Only the anchor himself knows how much he earns.

There are both male and female anchors. The male one shows off his bargaining skills, while the female one... has a neckline that is a bit low, and I don’t know if the stall owner can see it, but fans will definitely be able to see the fascinating scenery.

Chen Yi walked and stopped, and stayed nearby for a while out of curiosity. He could tell that some of the anchors were acting, while some were really bargaining, focusing on authenticity.

"Young man, come and take a look. These stones just came out of the mine. They are of very good quality." An old man at the stall was soliciting business with a smile, hoping to arouse the interest of Chen Yi and the others.

Whether they are colleagues or tourists, they can tell at a glance that there are indeed many people doing jade business in Ruicheng, but after a long time, they have become familiar faces.

Chen Yi glanced at him politely, smiled, shook his head slightly and continued walking forward. The stall owner was not disappointed and looked away.

He had the impression that the stall owner was a bit shrewd and probably wouldn't be easy to chat with.

Just now the other party said that the quality is good... Just listen to it. The people of Bagan are not fools. Their identification level is not weaker than that in China, and is even more professional. If they really encounter valuable jadeite rough stones with low gambling value, they will not be easily sold to China.

To put it bluntly, all the raw stones that can be transported from Bagan to China have been professionally screened and identified. After screening, they are sold to the next buyer, who then screens them and sells them to the next buyer...

Those that can be seen by tourists have already passed through countless hands, and the possibility of finding a bargain is close to zero.

How can a layman or a half-expert be able to compete with multiple experts? It doesn't make sense.

Strive not to lose money and pursue small profits. This is the normal mentality when playing with rough stones. Getting rich overnight does not exist. You might as well buy a lottery ticket.

Unless you have X-ray vision.

As he was walking around, he was about to reach the end of the road when a young stall owner caught Chen Yi's attention. It was not because of his appearance or temperament, but because of the way he bargained with buyers.

The buyer was a female anchor with a healthy tan and wearing a miniskirt and a low-cut dress.

The two were not acting, they were really negotiating the price.

"Handsome guy, the water content of this material has just reached the glutinous grade. It's too much to sell it to me for 500,000. Selling it to me for 100,000 will make money. "The voice of the female anchor sounded, holding a bunch of bracelet blanks in her hand.

This is sold in packages, not individually.

The young man opposite was wearing old casual clothes and had messy hair. Compared with the other stall owners, he was less shrewd and more simple. When he heard the price of one hundred thousand, he looked helpless.

It can be seen that the selling price is far below the expected psychological price.

There were other people watching nearby, but Chen Yi stood nearby and did not attract any attention. He carefully watched the female host turn on the light and determined that this batch of raw materials had indeed just reached the glutinous grade. He did have good eyesight.

One hundred thousand is a bit low, about two hundred thousand is about right. The closer to two hundred thousand, the less the buyer earns, so of course she will try to lower the price as much as possible.

The stall owner said, "Let's not talk any more. This is my last offer. Three hundred thousand. If you like it, take it. If not, take it later."

From 500,000 to 300,000, there is still sincerity, but the buyer probably won’t make any profit.

It's just a negotiation tactic. Three hundred thousand can't be the final transaction price. It has to go down.

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. Fifteen thousand, transfer it right away." said the female anchor.

The stall owner waved his hand: "Too low, too low, not even enough to cover the cost."

"Another ten thousand."

The stall owner shook his head: "Two hundred and eighty thousand."

Female anchor: "Don't bid so high. This batch of materials won't pass the 20th. The last one is 18th."

When the price was finally settled at 210,000, the female anchor paid and took the material away, looking in a good mood.

There are a total of twenty bracelet blanks. Chen Yi estimates that each one can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan after being finished. Some good ones can be sold for about 20,000 yuan. This is still based on his peers.

Generally speaking, it is a sure win, it just depends on how she sells it.

The price was negotiated very skillfully, and he thought the deal would be completed at least for $230,000 or $240,000.

This has a lot to do with the stall owner's mentality. How much do they want to earn? Are they in a hurry to sell? If it were another stall, 200,000 yuan would be a lot.

Ten or twenty thousand is not a small amount of money for ordinary people.

Having said that, jade is priceless and it is enough to make some money. If you miss this opportunity, who knows when the next buyer will come. Capital turnover is also very important, and you have to make a steady profit.

Chen Yi decided to have a chat with the stall owner, just a small talk, if it doesn't work out he would just leave, it was just a matter of luck anyway.

Just as one customer left, two more came in. The stall owner smiled even more and motioned for Chen Yi to look around.

This stall mainly sells rough stones, with very few raw stones.

The quality is not very high, at most five figures, but it's still worth giving as a gift.

Let's take a look first and talk first. If necessary, he doesn't mind spending money to buy something and arrange everything for his aunts, uncles, colleagues and friends.

If you don't spend money, people may not be willing to talk to you.

Chen Yi took the small stool handed to him by the stall owner, then sat down with Fang Shuyu, and studied it slowly with the high-intensity flashlight provided by the stall owner.

He deliberately showed some unprofessional actions to let the stall owner know that he seemed to understand a lot, but not completely.

At times like this, it's best to wait for the other person to speak first.

After two minutes, the stall owner couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are you here for tourism?"

Chen Yi raised his head and smiled, "Yes, I just got married, and I'm here with my wife for a honeymoon. I played in Licheng a few days ago. I heard that Ruicheng is the hometown of jade, so I came here to take a stroll and broaden my horizons."

The stall owner looked at Fang Shuyu twice more. Such a beautiful woman is quite rare. What's more commendable is that her makeup is very light, and she is a natural beauty.

He's so lucky, could he be a rich second-generation?
Thinking of this, the stall owner immediately lost interest in Fang Shuyu. Making money is the most important thing. There is no point in looking at women who have nothing to do with him.

"You have come to the right place. The jadeite in our Ruicheng has the best value for money. Most of the goods in the country come from Ruicheng." said the stall owner.

Chen Yi nodded, continued to look at the rough work in his hand, and then asked the price.

Not very satisfied with the price, he went to look at other options.

"If we go directly to Bagan to buy it, it might be cheaper, right?" Chen Yi said casually.

The stall owner smiled and said, "Of course, the goods in Bagan are definitely cheaper, but most people can't go there. We just added a little transportation cost, we won't charge a high price."

Chen Yi handed the rough jade in his hand to Fang Shuyu for her to "study" and looked at the stall owner: "Bagan is the birthplace of jade, right?"

Stall owner: “Yes.”

Chen Yi: "What about Ruicheng? Ruicheng doesn't have a birthplace, so where did jadeite first develop from?"

The stall owner didn't want to chat at first, but when he saw Fang Shuyu couldn't let go of the goods, he thought the deal seemed likely, so he replied, "It's from the southernmost village in Ruicheng. The goods were imported from there a long time ago." Hearing the word "village", Chen Yi was sure that the stall owner was not from Ruicheng city. His accent was also a little different from Liang Qidonggang's.

"Which village?"

"Rain Village."

"Yuzhai?" Chen Yi picked up a piece of the highest quality rough material. "Is it Yuluo Village? I think I heard friends talking about it before."

This is not a secret. The stall owner smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is Yuluo Village. It is now called Yuluo Village."

Chen Yi picked up another blank: "Is this one 50 yuan?"

The bracelet circumference refers to the size of the bracelet's diameter. Every woman's hand is different, so the bracelet circumference is also different in size. You need to choose according to the size. When you wear it, it will fit if you can fit one or two fingers in.

Fifty circles is a relatively small number, and Fang Shuyu has a very thin wrist.

Stall owner: "Yes, fifty."

Chen Yi handed it to Fang Shuyu: "Take a look, do you like it?"

If I buy something for Fang Shuyu, I definitely won't choose something of this quality, as it doesn't fit with the identity of the son of the Chen Group. If I really want to buy it, it doesn't matter, I can just give it to someone else, such as a friend's wife.

I remember that his new wife's wrist seemed to be very thin, so she could wear it, but I don't know if she would suspect him of "plotting something bad" when she got there.

How can you give a bracelet to someone else's wife? What do you want to do?

While Fang Shuyu was symbolically playing with it, Chen Yi asked, "How is this Yuzhai now? Is it a holy place in the hearts of you jade people?"

The stall owner was stunned by this and burst out laughing: "Brother, have you read too many novels? What holy land? It's just an ordinary village, just close to Bagan, so it became the birthplace. It's nothing special."

After saying that, he seemed to have guessed something and asked, "You don't want to go and take a look, do you? The road is difficult to travel on and cars can't get in, and the villagers are xenophobic."

Chen Yi: "Has no one been there in all these years?"

Stall owner: "My home is not far from Yuzhai, but I have never been there. I heard from the older generation that some people wanted to go to Yuzhai to try their luck, maybe they could pick up jade on the way."

Chen Yi was surprised: "So exaggerated?"

The stall owner waved his hand: "It's just a rumor. Do you really think jade is cabbage?"

Chen Yi has a different opinion.

There is no smoke without fire. Since the rumor is there, there is a high probability that it is true. If Yulu Village is really the birthplace of jadeite in China, then it is still possible to occasionally pick up a piece in or outside the village.

In Bagan, there are some places where emeralds are literally everywhere, and no one cares about them, but you can really sell them for money if you pick them up.

The deceased Tu Xiangnan appeared in the vicinity many times. Was his purpose to pick up jadeite?
It seems unlikely. Tu Xiangnan is in the hotel business, which has nothing to do with the jade industry. Besides, with his wealth, he can buy it directly. Why waste time pursuing the illusory probability of luck?

Unless he has picked it up before, or the older generation told him that they had picked it up, and the quality is extremely high, high enough to make him interested.

If Chen Zhiyao told him that he could find stones worth tens or hundreds of millions of yuan in a certain village, he would also be tempted to go for a stroll. Not to mention other people. Who would resist money? There are many people who buy lottery tickets, not to mention the cost-free business with detailed clues.

If Tu Xiangnan really entered Yuluo Village, is his death related to Yuluo Village?
Also, did the other deceased go there? Just because we haven't found out doesn't mean they didn't go there.

If you have been there, then there is a new direction for investigation.

Yulu Village is a place you really need to go in and take a look.

Chen Yi wanted to learn more about it, but the stall owner didn't know much and only knew what he had heard from others. So he decided to wait until he got to the town tomorrow. It was always better to ask more questions than to go in without thinking.

Han Yuedong was indeed a little anxious at the time, which was understandable. How could he not be excited when he finally discovered a new clue?

"What's the price?" Chen Yi asked about the bracelet in Fang Shuyu's hand, ready to buy it.

The stall owner thought for two seconds: "Two hundred thousand."

The price was just casually offered, and Chen Yi looked at him without saying anything.

The stall owner smiled and said, "Ask a price. How much can you see? I'll sell it to you if you pay me!"

Chen Yi: “Twenty thousand.”

Now it was the stall owner's turn to look at Chen Yi in silence. Anyway, both sides were speechless at some point.

The jade industry has always been like this.

Chen Yi "thanked" the stall owner for providing information for his investigation, but that doesn't mean he is willing to be a scapegoat.

After another long tussle, the raw material was finally sold for 50,000 yuan. Seeing the stall owner pretending to be distressed and saying that he was losing money to open the business, Chen Yi knew that the profit had reached the other party's psychological expectation.

The final processing is required from the bracelet blank to the finished bracelet, and the processing fee is about one hundred yuan. We will talk about it when we leave Ruicheng.

Originally, he really wanted to give it to an outsider. Buying it for Fang Shuyu would have to cost more than six figures, but Fang Shuyu seemed to really like the bracelet. She was still holding it in her hand and looking at it even after she had walked far away from the stall, her eyes full of joy.

Fang Shuyu has never pursued practical value, as long as it is pleasing to the eye.

Chen Yi felt that...if he dared to say the words he would give to other women at this moment, even if it was his friend's wife, Fang Shuyu's face would definitely be very ugly.

"Forget it, don't make trouble."

Chen Yi gave up the idea, then left the night market and went to the antique market next door.

This is not the largest antique market in Ruicheng. At most, it is an antique street with open-air stalls. It was probably formed in the early years to take advantage of the popularity of the raw stone market.

After visiting the raw stone market, tourists will see an antique street nearby and will go to take a look out of curiosity. Once they have seen it, they may spend money.

There is a big difference between Ruicheng Antique Street and Jiangcheng. Most of the items sold in Jiangcheng are miscellaneous antiques, while most of the items sold in Ruicheng are jade.

Jadeite is jade, but jade is not necessarily jadeite.

Jade can be new or old, which can be seen from details such as patina and lumps, which also tests the eyesight of the appraiser.

Naturally, Chen Yi had no interest in these things. He wanted to see if there were any ancient books or bamboo slips for sale, but after walking around he found nothing, so he gave up.

On the other hand, Lin Chen also took a fancy to a pendant and said he was going to give it to his mother. Chen Yi was very skeptical and hinted that if he was going to give it to a young girl, a bracelet would be the best and he could borrow some money if he didn't have enough.

Lin Chen trusted Chen Yi very much, but gave up after thinking about it, revealing that the person he wanted to send was definitely not his mother.

Fang Shuyu immediately became dissatisfied, and pulled Lin Chen to a distant place to have a private chat, scolding him for being unfilial and always thinking that the girl didn't care about her mother, right?

Chen Yi did not get involved, which was normal. It could not be considered filial piety. At Lin Chen's age, he was the farthest away from his parents. He was "hanging out" outside every day, and everyone was the same.

It will be much better after you get married.
