Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Hearing the price, Yang Jianlong took a breath of air.

However, he has indeed never heard of the name Yamato Jade.

Lin Ran looked at Liu Mao, couldn't help it anymore, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Liu, have you ever heard of the Jade of Four Souls?"

"The Jade of the Four Souls?" Liu Mao frowned, "Have you never heard of it? Is it also the jade of the Ying Kingdom?"

"Yes, it's a famous local product." Lin Ran was already laughing in his heart, while Liu Mao felt like a half-hearted person. He really didn't know why Yang Guozhi trusted him.

But Lin Ran calmed down. Now was not the time for a verbal dispute.

"You said this is Yamato Jade?" Lin Ran asked, changing his tone.

"Yes." Liu Mao already knew that Lin Ran was the treasure appraiser invited by Yang Guozhi.

After looking at his age, he was not as old as his grandson, and subconsciously felt that children were easy to fool.

So he pretended to be profound and said: "Not all jade from Sakura Country is qualified to be called Yamato jade. This is the jade collected by the royal family."

"How did that fall into your hands?" Lin Ran asked.

But this sentence instantly made Liu Mao unhappy.

Liu Maoyi said sternly: "I used special means to get it back from Ying Country. They are all Chinese people. How could such a treasure fall into the hands of a foreigner?"

Lin Ran burst into laughter in his heart. This kind of person claimed to be benevolent and moral, but in fact his heart was filled with filth.

"You're right, Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people." Lin Ran smiled.

Liu Mao didn't hear the yin and yang in his tone, or in other words, there was no concept of yin and yang in this era. Instead, Liu Mao smiled and nodded in agreement.

Said: "Yes, little brother is right, how could I deceive my own people?"

"Yamato Jade! It is the only jade in the world that is regarded as a treasure. It is called the Sakura Kingdom and Clan Jade."

This would be fine if he didn't expose him, but instead he went on to get more and more outrageous.

Lin Ran really admired his shamelessness, and several of his subordinates had pious expressions on their faces. He didn't know whether they were acting or they really believed it.

But he would definitely not admit it if exposed in person. Lin Ran could only say tactfully: "Since it is Yamato jade, it must be a kind of jade, right?"

"Little brother, are you making everyone happy?" Liu Mao burst out laughing, thinking that Yang Guozhi was so ill that he went to the hospital in a hurry and directly found a child to be a treasure appraiser. He is going to be killed today.

Then he said in a positive tone: "Of course it's jade."

"Then what's the difference between it and ordinary jade? Or what kind of jade does it belong to?" Lin Ran asked.

Liu Mao was still immersed in joy, but when he heard these words, he suddenly became vigilant.

Fortunately, he was prepared and said, "It is a special kind of jade, but there is only one of this kind of jade in the world."

"Special jade must have ingredients, right?" Lin Ran said, "You can't just say that it is jade, so if I take a marble and say it is jade, do you also think it is jade?"

Jade is a mineral gemstone with dense texture, hard texture and fine luster.Common jade includes jade, Hetian jade, garnet jade, white jade, jasper, etc.

People usually call beautiful stones jade, but in fact they still have to meet some conditions.

For example, hardness, the hardness value is at least 6, and it is not easily scratched or damaged.

The second is the look and feel, the cut surface is as fine as a feather, the texture is tough and uniform, the transparency is high, and the density is uniform;

The third thing is the color, which is bright, beautiful, and basically won't fade.

Finally, there is the texture, which has naturally formed textures, such as green jadeite with seed-like and mist-like shapes, white jade with liver oil patterns, Guanyin seats and other unique lines.

If a piece of ore meets the above conditions, then it can be called jade.

The industry has its own set of identification methods.

Liu Mao was asked and kept silent.

Lin Ran smiled slightly: "Mr. Liu, it's not that I doubt you, but you said this is jade, and you have to tell me what kind of jade it belongs to, so that we can identify the authenticity through the inclusions, are you right?"

There was a sudden silence in the office.

After Lin Ran asked, Yang Guozhi also felt that something was wrong.

Now that the information is limited, he has indeed never heard of Yamato Jade, and Lin Ran's analysis undoubtedly told him that this was not jade.

Liu Mao naturally knew what he was bringing. He originally wanted to sell it in the name of a returning businessman, but unexpectedly he was asked about the essential issue.

He sneered and said: "Sakura Country is nothing more than red jade and glazed jade. Yamato jade is another unique kind of jade. It was a collection of the royal family. It is not at the same level as common people's jade."

"Please, what kind of place is Yingguo? If you want to say that their technology is temporarily ahead, it's okay, but if you want to say how valuable their royal collection is, I think you'd better save it." Lin Ran really couldn't stand it anymore.

The mineral resources of Sakura Country were originally small, and productivity was extremely low before the Meiji Restoration. During the Warring States Period, the greatest wish of the daimyo was to eat all they could with caviar. Most of the soldiers could only eat natto with rice. What kind of treasures could their royal family collect? .

It is not worth mentioning in front of the Chinese royal family.

Also introduced in a serious way.

Liu Mao's face turned pale at Lin Ran's words. He looked at Yang Guozhi and said, "Boss Yang, it seems that this business is no longer necessary."

I thought that Yang Guozhi would feel guilty, but he didn't expect that Yang Guozhi said with a cold face: "Boss Liu, I think you are a returned businessman, and I trusted you to ask you to bring the collection. But you didn't explain it clearly and threatened me? Are you serious? When there is no one in my province, even jade can’t be distinguished?”

The jewelry industry naturally has its own appraisal standards.

Yang Guozhi's master master is not here, but he can ask someone from the Jewelry Association to help. If it is found that Liu Mao is selling fake jade, I am afraid the matter will not be solved as simple as "don't sell it."

Liu Mao suddenly retreated when he saw Yang Guozhi's serious expression.

He makes a living by defrauding rich people of their money, but this is a double-edged sword.

Rich people have a lot of money, and the rewards for cheating are high. Moreover, rich people care about face. Even if they are cheated, most of them will not make it public. At most, they will seek revenge privately.

But rich people often mean they have their own way of life, and they know both black and white people. If you offend them, you will undoubtedly set yourself up.

Now that Yang Guozhi's vigilance had been aroused, Liu Mao had no choice but to say mysteriously: "Actually, Yamato jade cannot be regarded as jade in the strict sense."

Lin Ran smiled knowingly, and sure enough, Liu Mao couldn't hold it anymore.

The corners of Yang Guozhi's face twitched slightly.

But at this time, Liu Mao continued: "Although it is not jade in the true sense, its value is higher than ordinary jade."
