Zhang Feng thought. The old accountant also took Zhang Feng to the box where Zhang Feng stored jade. The old accountant said: "As far as I know, Mr. Lei's jade has not been identified and evaluated. Jade without evaluation cannot be auctioned. Wait a minute, I'll ask Master Lei Liu to come and evaluate it for Mr. Lei. If it meets the requirements, I'll arrange Mr. Lei to go to the auction house in the East District in advance." The old man in charge of the accounts could see that Zhang Feng wanted to go to the auction house he said, so he put it forward very wisely.

Zhang Feng nodded. He also knew that if he didn't do the value evaluation, there would be no way to determine the reserve price. How to bid without the reserve price? It seems that the people in mingyuzhai have to make an evaluation. Moreover, the old accountant said Lei Liu. When he saw him last night, he felt that he was not a simple appraiser. This is Zhang Feng's intuition in jade for many years.

The old man in charge of the accounts said a few words politely to Zhang Feng. Then he left and asked Zhang Feng to wait here for Lei Liu to come. He still had a group of people at the door to deal with. Just now, he just sent Zhang Feng like a Buddha out of respect for VIP, so he hurried back.

Zhang Feng opened the safe and saw that the four jades were well placed there. His mind began to think. According to his own experience, the most expensive one can be sold here must be the amber jade, but he didn't know how the market in Jiang city was. He had to try to ask Lei Liu to see if he could say anything.

Zhang Feng thought and heard footsteps around him, so he closed the safe and stood up again. Sure enough, he turned around and saw Lei Liu who opened the door for him with the manager last night.

When Lei Liu saw Zhang Feng, he first greeted him with respect. Last night, he knew that Zhang Feng was a VIP with a VIP card. No matter who he was, he couldn't neglect his existence, so he couldn't disrespect Zhang Feng. Although Lei Liu always doubted who the VIP card in Zhang Feng's hand was.

People in Jiangshi basically know that mingyuzhai has set up a gambling quarry in a village on the outskirts of the city. The boss stipulates that you can get a VIP card if you spend more than 500 million in the gambling quarry. However, the gambling quarry has only opened for a few days, and there are no people who get a black card by money. That is to say, the VIP card in Zhang Feng's hand belongs to the black card of the boss's friend, which the boss personally sent.

The people who can become friends of the boss of mingyuzhai will never be ordinary people. They are all big people. In Jiangshi, they will shake the Jiangshi by the way when they move. Lei Liu has never seen the man in front of him. No wonder he will be suspicious.

But doubt is doubt, and things still have to be done. If the other party has a VIP card, he should do it according to the courtesy of the VIP. Lei Liu is also very clear that he recognizes the card but does not recognize the person.

"Sir, do you want to extract jade for appraisal and then send it to the auction house for auction?" Lei Liuyi came straight to the point. Unlike the old man in charge of accounts, he never beat around the Bush and flattered others. Even his tone didn't mean flattery at all, it was just a business tone.

Zhang Feng looked at Lei 61. Although he was a man with half white hair, his body looked quite strong. What people couldn't ignore most was his bright eyes, as if he was staring at you at any time.

"Are you Lei Liu? Can you identify jade?" Zhang Feng said that he had a clear idea. Lei Liu is probably not a simple migrant worker. Let's not talk about why he, as a worker in mingyuzhai, can hold another key to the vault. Looking only at the attitude of the manager of mingyuzhai towards him last night, we can see that his status is not low, at least higher than that of the manager, but the people here don't seem to know, but just Yu is regarded as an ordinary strange old man employee. If he really thinks like Zhang Feng, it will be interesting.

"Just a little knowledge." Lei Liu answered calmly. His eyes basically didn't move when he spoke, but it gave people a great aura.

Zhang Feng heard Lei Liu's answer, and whether he was modest or deliberately hiding his strength, he knew it at a try. Zhang Feng said, "a little knowledge is enough. It's always better than me, a layman. I want to take a jade to the auction house later. You can help me have a look, estimate the value, and then the old man in charge of the account will give me a list."

With that, Zhang Feng opened the safe again, squatted next to the safe and motioned Lei Liu to come and study the value of jade with him. Of course, Zhang Feng knew 70-80% of his jade value, but he was worried about the difference between the jade valuation he knew before and that in Jiangshi.

Zhang Feng showed Lei Liu the jadeite. He knew that among the four jades, the one with the lowest value was the jadeite. Let's see what Lei Liu said first.

Lei Liu stretched out his hand and weighed the rough palm on the jade. He found that there was no problem. He looked around the jade, as if to see if it had damaged the quality of the jade, and then said: "The quality of jade is very ordinary, but it's better because it's crystal clear, complete and has few defects. It's estimated that it's a medium auction. It's OK in the general auction venue, but it's not enough to enter the whale club."

Lei Liu mercilessly said that the jade was worthless. The whale club is the auction house in the eastern district that the old accountant mentioned just now. It seems that the people there really know how to appraise jade. Such a beautiful jade is not qualified there. This makes Zhang Feng more excited. He really wants to see what treasure there will be!

"But this one is OK," Lei Liu saw another jade in Zhang Feng's safe. It was the white jade. Lei Liu looked at the white jade carefully and said: "This white jade is of high quality and has not been polished. It has a wide range of utilization value. Recently, people in Jiangshi like the original jade. The original jade without any processing can be carved according to their own ideas. In particular, this white jade is more popular. If you take this piece to the blue whale club, it will probably pass the examination."

Zhang Feng smiled. He knew Lei Liu would say so, just because he had not seen the other two jades. Among Zhang Feng's four jades, the jade ranked the worst in his heart, the white jade ranked the third, and the resin jade ranked the second. Zhang Feng thought that the best jade was amber jade, that is, warm jade.

Zhang Feng asked Lei Liu to identify the two worst ones on purpose. One of his purposes was to hear how much the appraisers in Jiangshi evaluated the value of jade from their own eyes. So far, the difference is not big. That is to say, his understanding of jade is almost the same as Jiangshi's general law of jade value. However, for the sake of insurance, Zhang Feng still felt that he should try again first Just know more about something.

Zhang Feng said, "then please ask Master Lei Liu to do me a favor and open a jade value evaluation so that I can go to the blue whale club." Zhang Feng decided not to let Lei Liu see the other two jades for the time being. After all, the two jades felt that they were not ordinary gems in Zhang Feng. The failure of transporting them yesterday was also sealed in the whole process. No one had seen the appearance of the jade and wanted to keep it secret. He, an unknown boy who suddenly came to Jiangshi, suddenly took out so many jades. No matter who he was, he would be surprised.

Even if Zhang Feng tells others that he won at the gambling quarry, where does the money come from? Finally, he has to explain it again, then mention the aunt, then mention the black card, and then mention Master Li and Li Rongxue. Then others will think he has a relationship with the Li family, but this is the last result he wants to see. He doesn't want to have a relationship with anyone, at least not now Well done, he has a certain strength. Are you afraid that no one will stick it?

"Sir, didn't you store four gemstones? Don't you also identify those two? Today, the people of blue whale club come to buy jade with their wealth. If you miss today, you'll have to wait for some time." Lei Liu looked at Zhang Feng with inquisitive eyes. He was also curious about what Zhang Feng's other two gambling stones were, and he also noticed that Zhang Feng just wanted to test him with jadeite and white jade. Aren't the other two jade stones more valuable?

Moreover, if today's auction is over, according to the rules of mingyuzhai, the vault will not be auctioned again until it is full of jade. Although mingyuzhai has its own gambling quarry and the source and supply of jade are guaranteed, this is not the case. Generally, gambling stones have to throw money to play games, which only the upper class can afford to play, and the rich people who play gambling stones are lucky If you are angry, most of the jade will not be auctioned. People are not short of money at all. Why do you want to sell it? Just take it directly to the craftsman for carving?

Therefore, mingyuzhai's vault has more than 1000 grids. It's really not a simple thing to fill it with jade. Of course, jade holders can auction in other auction houses, but mingyuzhai needs to charge 5% lower auction fees for jade from its own gambling house. Such conditions firmly bind those who want to auction elsewhere Stay.

I'd rather wait another month or two than give 5% more. After all, for the auction of jade antiques, 5% of the auction price is not a small amount. Besides, you'll auction jade just for money. Therefore, people with jade will auction in mingyuzhai and won't go anywhere else.

However, Zhang Feng's situation is different. He is not a guy who doesn't know anything. As long as he finds out the situation of Jiangshi, he can definitely sell these jade more than its own value, because he is a businessman and an expert in jade antiques. He has strange goods and is afraid that he can't sell them? He is absolutely confident to let them play their best role Great value.

So Zhang Feng just wanted to use the white jade to find out the bottom first. When he knew the approximate price, he could plan how to sell resin jade and succinate jade. Zhang Feng said: "No, I stay in Jiangshi all year round, so I'm not in a hurry, but don't worry. Since the jade exists in mingyuzhai, naturally all the jade will be sold in mingyuzhai. I won't do those immoral things."

Zhang Feng said half jokingly. Indeed, sometimes some businesses care about these. They sell strange goods from their own homes, and the reputation of mingyuzhai will also increase a lot. Therefore, some businesses will stipulate that if they deposit goods here, they can only sell them here. First of all, they earn the auction rate, and have a name, killing two birds with one stone.

But mingyuzhai is different. Mingyuzhai has a great reputation. In Jiangshi, mingyuzhai ranks second, and no auction will dare to rank first. Therefore, Lei Liu said: "It doesn't bother me, not to mention that Mr. is a VIP and no one will say no at any time. Even if ordinary people come here to store jade, as long as the jade comes out of the gambling ground of mingyuzhai, we have the obligation to keep it. As for whether to auction here, it still depends on the meaning of the jade holder. Mingyuzhai will never force it."
