Chapter 684 This is a fair competition (seeking a monthly ticket)

  Liu Qingshan looked at this middle-aged man who offered 5,000 yuan. He was wearing white denim sleeves, a pair of leather sandals on his feet, and a folding fan in his hand.

  This guy has a chubby face with a smile on his face. He doesn't look like a local, and his accent has a bit of a capital flavor.

  Uncle Lu leaned into Liu Qingshan's ear and whispered, "This man is the biggest jade wholesaler here, Liu Datou."

  Liu Qingshan looked at the man's head again, it was indeed a size bigger than others, so he smiled and waved his hands: "Not for sale."

   "That's right, the elders have set the price just now, at least 10,000 yuan, and you only gave 5,000 yuan when you opened your mouth."

  Li Likun also responded unceremoniously to the other party, this is not a matter of taking advantage of it at all, it is clearly bullying foreigners.

  That Liu Datou still had a smile on his face: "Young people should not be too angry. Our rules here are that jade must be sold in the exchange."

   "You are a second-hand dealer, not an exchange."

   Lu Fang replied that he and Uncle Lu had dealt with this big head Liu.

  Don't look at this guy with a smile on his face, but his attack is extremely black, and the price of jade is directly increased by ten times.

  Liu Datou waved his folding fan calmly: "I am the consignee hired by the exchange, and of course I am qualified to buy jade."

   "But you, without our permission, don't even think about taking a piece of jade from here, even an ordinary stone."

   "Where did you come from, where do you go back obediently, don't even go home when the time comes!"

   That's right, this guy is looking for trouble at first glance.

  Obviously the other party also knew that Liu Qingshan and his group were going to get involved in the jade business, and this was a verbal warning.

   Li Likun and Lu Fang are both vigorous men, so of course they couldn't stand these words. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Li Likun's hands, and a military thorn suddenly appeared:

   "Big head Liu, you smiling tiger, the jade is here, come and get it if you have the ability!"

  That Liu Datou was unmoved at all: "Young man, doing business is not about fighting and killing. Jade cannot be smuggled, which is clearly stipulated by the above."

   "If you don't comply, there will naturally be law enforcement agencies to deal with you. Listen to people's advice and have enough food."

  Liu Qingshan waved his hand and asked Li Likun and the others to carry the piece of jade: "Come on, let's go to the exchange."

   Liu Datou thought that the other party was admitting cowardice, and smiled contemptuously: "It's not the same everywhere."

  Hetian City is not too big. In 1984, it changed from a county to a city.

   Soon, a group of people came to the Yuyuan Stone Exchange. Even the old man Alimu rushed over with a dozen men.

  The men all had knives in their waists, and all of them looked stern.

  Inside the courtyard of the exchange is a row of one-story houses, and some poplar trees are planted in the yard.

  More than a dozen people are queuing up to sell the jade they picked up.

  Among them, there are local people wearing national costumes, and there are also Han people wearing blue cloth clothes and blue hats.

  People put baskets by their feet, with one or two or three pieces of jade scattered inside.

   "Let's start, let's all line up!" Accompanied by a lazy voice, a young man in overalls, with a cigarette in his mouth, began to buy jade.

   At the front of the line was a little Barang, who struggled to pick up a **** stone and put it on the wooden table.

   "What kind of stuff are you? It's black and white. You can't accept the goods that no one picks up by the side of the road."

  The young staff member stretched out his hand and pushed the big rock to the ground.

  If it wasn't for that little Balang who hid quickly, he might have hit his foot.

   "This is the jasper I picked out from the KS River in Kara, do you know the product?"

  The little Baron was obviously annoyed, pointing at the staff member's nose to question.

  Old man Alimu also went up to check the black stone, and then nodded: "Very good jasper, worth at least a few hundred yuan."

  The young staff snorted: "Your Jasper is black, you don't know how to bully me, right?"

  Old man Alimu also looked disgusted: "Since you collect jade, you don't even know this bit of professional knowledge!"

   "The jasper in the KS River in Kara will form a black stone skin on the outside. After grinding off the stone skin on the outside, the inside is the best jasper."

  The jade sellers were shocked when they heard this: "Yes, such an ignorant person is also worthy of being an inspector!"

   "Why are you arguing, I really thought I was willing to play with these broken stones."

  The young staff member spat the cigarette **** on the ground, and waved his arm arrogantly: "Do you want to sell it or not?"

  People are state-run, that's the attitude.

  Liu Qingshan also shook his head. Although this exchange will disintegrate within a few years, the trading of jade will tend to be liberalized and left to the market to decide.

  But in the past few years, when the price of jade materials was the lowest, Liu Qingshan also wanted to seize this opportunity to hoard more jade materials.

  The little Balang finally left with the piece of jasper in a basket, wiping his eyes as he walked, obviously very angry.

  The young staff member continued to receive the goods.

  It’s not that this guy doesn’t understand anything, it’s just that the price is set too low. In Liu Qingshan’s view, a good quality white jade is only paid for a few yuan per kilogram.

   If there is no trick in it, it would be called a strange thing.

  After collecting the jade, use a brush dipped in red ink to mark the grade and weight on the surface of the jade.

  The dozen or so people in front had all sold out their jade stones, and when they left, they all looked resentful.

  Liu Qingshan observed it, and the money in their hands was at most dozens of dollars, and some were only a few dollars.

   Compared with the value of jade, it is too cheap.

  Finally it was Liu Qingshan's turn, Cao Xiaofei and Li Likun carried the piece of white jade to the table, the young staff member squinted at it, probably saw that it was a good thing, and moved closer to take a closer look.

   Cough, there was a light cough from the side.

  I saw Liu Datou throwing a cigarette to the staff member, and then said with a smile: "I have seen this piece of jade, second class."

   "Brother Liu, good, good." The staff member nodded vigorously, lighting a cigarette cheerfully.

  After weighing, the staff said to Liu Qingshan:

   "Second-class white jade, 60 kilograms, 50 yuan per kilogram, a total of 3,000 yuan, hehe, you are really lucky, enough for you to earn for two years."

  The people who followed Liu Qingshan also stared with big eyes: Three thousand? What a joke!

  At this time, a big head came close to Liu Qingshan's eyes: "Hey, brother, what's the matter, I won't sell it for 5,000 yuan, let's sell it now."

  Liu Qingshan still had a smile on his face: "Then I'd better not sell it, I can keep it for myself."

   "That's your right, hahaha." Liu Datou laughed wildly.

  When Liu Qingshan and his party left the yard of the exchange, Liu Datou spat **** the ground:

   "I don't know the depth, but I dare to take this muddy water. Is the hair all grown?"

  At this time, a few more people approached: "Brother Big Tou, that kid is getting mixed up with that old Ali Mu, we'd better be careful."

   "I don't believe he can play any tricks, go, call the people on the exchange, and go drink." Liu Datou waved his hand imposingly.

  At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, there were already dozens of people queuing up at the Yuyuan Stone Gathering Exchange, ready to sell jade.

  Today, there are two groups of jade picking teams that came down from the mountain, so there are quite a lot of people.

   Those who can go up the mountain are strong men with rich experience and good physical fitness.

  Although their clothes were tattered and their spirits were relatively tired, the excitement on everyone's face could not be concealed.

  In everyone's back basket, there are jade stones weighing more than a dozen catties or tens of catties. If you are lucky, if you sell them at a good price, it will be enough for the family to spend for a year.

  At this time, a young boy walked into the yard of the exchange angrily, and with a bang, threw a black stone on the ground.

   "Little guy, don't jump in line." Someone in the line laughed and joked.

   But the little guy took out an iron hammer and held it up high:

   "I said this is a broken rock, I broke it open and let you see if there is jasper inside!"

   At this time, a voice came over: "Don't smash it, don't smash it, we will accept it."

  Little Balang put down his hammer and looked at the person who spoke, but he was not a staff member of the exchange.

   That person was Cao Xiaofei, and he yelled with a smile:

   "We also collect jade over there, the price is fair, and the old man Alimu personally sets the price."

  When these people heard Alimu's name, they didn't hesitate anymore, and they all followed Cao Xiaofei out with baskets and backpacks.

   Diagonally opposite, there used to be a few empty houses, but now there are desks and small scales, and there are a few people, sitting or standing, waiting there.

  There are also two signs standing next to it, with two kinds of characters on them, and the words "purchase jade" are written respectively.

  The little Balang ran over first, saluted Alimu who was drinking tea behind the table, and called "Bowa", which is roughly equivalent to grandpa.

   "Little guy, your piece of jasper is not bad, I will give you the first class."

   Ali Mu had already seen it yesterday, so he didn’t have to look at it carefully. He waved his hand and asked Lu Liang next to him to weigh it.

  The little Balang immediately jumped up excitedly. The price of the first-grade jasper is 80 yuan per kilogram, and his piece is about 10 kilograms, which is 800 yuan!

  After Lu Liang weighed himself, he issued a ticket to Xiaobalang and asked him to go to Li Likun to collect the money.

   Li Likun saw that he was too young, so he asked him to call the adults in the family. If a child takes so much money, it will be troublesome if he loses it.

  Two local people stood up in the crowd, saying that they were from the same village as Xiaobalang, and they would go back together at that time.

  Li Likun just handed the 820 yuan to Xiaoba Lang.

   This made the little guy so excited that he kept saluting everyone.

  The other jade sellers also had happy faces, and they talked a lot: "It seems that the ranking here is fairer?"

   "Of course, Elder Ali Mu, but he is famously fair."

   Liu Qingshan looked at this scene with a smile, and he knew that with the prestige of the old man Alimu, coupled with a fair price, he would definitely be able to draw these jade pickers to their side.

  The process of acquiring jade was very fast, and the ordering, weighing, and payment were orderly.

  The people who sold the jade all looked happy. It wasn't the first time they sold jade. They could guess what they had in their hearts.

  However, after they got the money, they found that it was basically twice as much as expected. Why didn't this make them smile?

  Although the acquisition is progressing very quickly, the number of people queuing up has not decreased, because people have joined in continuously.

  The opposite exchange was empty, with no one there.

   After opening, several staff members of the exchange were quite puzzled: what happened today?

   But it was just right when there was no work, and they were happy to be free, so a few people got together and started chatting and farting.

   Not long after, I saw Liu Datou rushing in leading a few second-class dealers. Liu Datou, who was always smiling on weekdays, was angry today, and shouted when he entered the courtyard:

   "You still have time to drink tea, the business has been snatched away!"

   Soon, several staff members appeared on Liu Qingshan's side together with Liu Datou and the others.

   "It's a pity, this piece of seed material almost reached the level of suet jade, so let's count it as a special second class, can you see if it works?"

  The old man Alimu fiddled with a piece of jade the size of a pebble with regret on his face, and asked a middle-aged woman in a turban in front of him for advice.

  The woman nodded repeatedly: "Okay, that's great. I took it to the exchange a few days ago. They set it as first-class white jade, and I'm not willing to sell it."

  The price difference between the first class and the special second class is more than double.

   This piece of seed material, less than one kilogram, sold for more than 500 yuan, so happy that the woman kept thanking her.

   Still muttering in his mouth: "I still have a few yuan at home, I'll go and get them here, or your price is fair."

  Among the crowd, several people responded immediately, and they all expressed that they wanted to sell the high-grade jade treasured at home here.

  The staff who saw this scene felt a little fever on their faces.

  As for Liu Datou and those second-hand dealers, each of them had a bad look, as if they were going to swallow Liu Qingshan and the others.

   "You guys are stealing business!"

  Yesterday, the young staff member finally couldn't hold back and started to show his head.

  Others are busy, even Uncle Lu helped the old man Alimu to wait for Yushi, Liu Qingshan saw that he was idle, so he said with a smile:

   "Comrade, this is not grabbing business. Now it is a market economy. We are a fair competition."

  The young staff member is not convinced: "But your purchase price is too high, how can we charge it?"

   "Our pricing is fair and reasonable. You set it too low before."

  Old man Alimu replied without raising his head.

  The local custom is to respect the elders the most, so the young man did not dare to lose his temper with Ali Mu.

  At this time, Liu Datou rushed to Liu Qingshan and shouted:

   "You are collecting jade here, who approved it?"

   Liu Qingshan looked at the other party with contempt: "Does it have something to do with you?"

"you…"

   Liu's big head couldn't help being furious: "Okay, let's wait and see!"

  Amid a burst of laughter, Liu Datou and his party left bitterly.

  Looking at their backs, the old Alimu shook his head slightly: "The fox won't be reconciled if he doesn't steal the chicken."

  The corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth curled up slightly: "Then let's get rid of the fox."
