Li Zhuo did as he asked.

Zheng Heng was quite satisfied with this bead and said with a smile:

"It's so round. It's rare. It's really beautiful."

The beads are indeed very good-looking, and they look very gentle, and Li Zhuo likes them very much.

It's a pity that he has to sell it.

"Brother Zheng, please estimate the price." Li Zhuo reluctantly touched the beads and said.

Zheng Heng smiled and said:

"I may not be very accurate in estimating the exact size. It looks like it's around 12 or 3 carats. Although your bead is a bit small, its quality is top-notch. The unit price may be 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per carat."

"So Melo beads are so valuable?" Li Zhuo was also surprised when he heard this. It turned out that he had underestimated this kind of beads.

"That's not true. Many Melo beads are actually not valuable, but yours is of the highest quality regardless of color, shape, and quality. That's why the price is high.

That is to say, it is a bit small, but if it were larger, it would be too valuable. For example, in 2003, a 100-carat Merlot pearl was auctioned in Hong Kong, and the unit price reached US$27,000 per carat."

Seeing that Li Zhuoai was a little confused, Jin Zixu simply explained:

"The value of Melo beads depends on whether they are round. The rounder the beads, the more valuable they are; secondly, look at the color. Orange is the most expensive color, and it must be smooth and have flame patterns. Based on this, thirdly look at the weight, the more valuable the beads are.

The heavier the unit price, the more expensive it is.

Of course, it does not mean that beads are expensive because they are heavy. For example, in Hong Kong in 2007, a 91-carat Merlot bead was sold for only US$125,000. The reason is that it is not the best in terms of color and roundness.

That kind of thing."

"I understand, Brother Zheng." Li Zhuo said.

Zheng Heng looked at where Li Zhuo was and asked:

"Brother Li, are you in the hotel? Where are you now?"

Li Zhuo nodded and replied:

"It's at the hotel. I'm currently in Guangdong Province. I should return to Hangzhou soon."

"Oh, are you in Yangcheng?" Zheng Heng touched his shiny forehead and said, "My cousin is currently in Yangcheng. He manages a chain of jewelry stores for our aunt. If you want to take action, I will give him a call.

Telephone. Don’t worry about the price, you won’t suffer a loss.”

Zheng Heng's family seems to be quite powerful.

"Okay," Li Zhuo always refused to come, "then please tell him and I will go tomorrow."

It’s good to get to know more people. Besides, if the price isn’t right, just don’t sell it.

……

Early the next morning, Li Zhuo drove his Mercedes-Benz G500 and headed straight from Shanwei to Yangcheng.

A few hours later, he arrived in Zhuhai District of Yangcheng and found a jewelry store called Yi Zhichu.

The name of this store is so good that Li Zhuo looked at it a few more times.

Li Zhuo immediately took out his phone and dialed a number, followed by a young man who walked out of the store holding a mobile phone.

Damn, he’s actually a handsome guy too.

This young man is about the same age as Li Zhuo, has a slightly darker appearance, and is close to Li Zhuo in height. He seems to be more sporty and cheerful.

After he saw Li Zhuo, he smiled and came over to shake hands:

"Hello, Mr. Li, right? I am Zheng Kun, and Zheng Heng is my cousin. He called me last night. Please take care of me when we meet for the first time..."

When he speaks Mandarin, it's a little weird, and he seems to have a Chaoshan accent, but Zheng Heng has a standard northern accent, so I don't know what's going on.

Li Zhuo also stepped forward to shake hands:

"You're welcome, Mr. Zheng, I'm here to cause trouble for you."

The two walked into the store side by side. Zheng Kun seemed to be dressed more casually, but he looked very appropriate.

Do you know how to dress? Or is this a custom-made dress?

Li Zhuo was thinking in his mind.

He remained calm and briefly chatted with Zheng Kun. He judged that this guy should have received a good education abroad, and his Chinese expressions had the characteristics of old-school overseas Chinese speaking and speaking.

Maybe you received higher education in Singapore?

Li Zhuo asked casually:

"Are you an overseas Chinese?"

Zheng Kun smiled back:

"No, I am Chinese. I grew up with my aunt in Southeast Asia when I was young, and I was influenced to some extent by outside influences."

"Oh, that's it."

That makes it clear.

The two chatted briefly, and then Zheng Kun took Li Zhuo to the store.

"Mr. Li, does he have Melo beads for sale?" Zheng Kun asked formally after sitting down.

Li Zhuo nodded, and then took out a small gift box with decorations from his backpack. This was something Li Zhuo asked the hotel front desk to find last night.

Opening the small box, Li Zhuo took out the round, orange-red, very beautiful Melo beads and put them in Zheng Kun's hand.

Zheng Kun obviously knew the goods. He looked around carefully a few times, then took out the fluorescent lamp and shined it on the beads twice.

Under the illumination of fluorescence, the beads appear slightly chalky blue in color, but they are still as beautiful as ever.

Zheng Xiaokun weighed the beads again. The weight of the beads was 13.1 carats. He then said:

"Mr. Li, I'm already optimistic about this." Zheng Kun said to Li Zhuo.

"You're welcome, just call me by my name." Li Zhuo smiled.

Zheng Kun also smiled and said:

"Then you're welcome, Brother Li, just call me by my name.

Your Merlot pearls are top-notch. I have collected some Merlot pearls in Southeast Asia. They are so orange in color and so shiny that you can hardly see them. They are so beautiful. Are you willing to sell them, Brother Li?"

"Of course," Li Zhuo said, "Brother Zheng, if your price is right, I am willing to sell it."

Zheng Kun nodded and said with a smile:

"You were introduced by my brother, I will definitely give you a real price.

If this bead were larger, it would be no problem selling for 10,000 to 20,000 U.S. dollars per carat. The problem now is that it is a little smaller. The weight of the bead is 13.1 carats. So, let me calculate it for you at 48,000 yuan per carat. In total

The price is 628,800 yuan, how about 629,000 yuan?"

The price is very high.

In fact, Li Zhuo was also worried that he would suffer a loss because he couldn't figure out the price, so he even put the Merlot pearl in an incense burner to appraise it.

The price given for the incense burner is 580,000, and I don’t know how it was valued.

The price Zheng Kun gave him was higher than the estimated price of the incense burner. It can be seen that the price he gave him was a very real price. There may be a profit concession or a price increase because something is rare.

What else can Li Zhuo say about the price? He was quite satisfied, so he nodded and smiled:

"Thank you, just do as Brother Zheng says."

The business was going smoothly, and the matter was settled in a friendly manner.

Of course, Zheng Kun will definitely not suffer a loss. Generally speaking, the price of purchased beads can be greatly increased after being processed and made into jewelry. Therefore, even if the price given by Zheng Kun is slightly high, the purchase is still a good deal.

Zheng Kun took the initiative to add Li Zhuo's WeChat account and then transferred 629,000 yuan to him through his company account.

After receiving the money, Li Zhuo handed the Melo beads and the jewelry box to Zheng Kun.

Zheng Kun was very polite and took the initiative to see him out. When he shook hands and said goodbye, he said:

"Brother Li, if you have gold, silver, jewelry or anything like that, come to me at any time. I'm happy to buy it. You can contact me at any time on WeChat."

Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"There will definitely be trouble in the future. Thank you, Brother Zheng, for staying. I'll leave first."

"Slow down!" Zheng Kun watched Li Zhuo approach the Mercedes-Benz G500 on the roadside, then got in the car, turned around, waved to him and left.

He drives a Mercedes-Benz G500. It seems that Brother Li is quite capable.
Chapter completed!
