Young Lord of The Dragon Sect novel Chapter 665

Now Marcus no longer underestimated Maximilian, but regarded him as a knowledgeable man.

Canaan took Maximilian left and right and walked around, and finally arrived at a booth.

At this moment, there were many people around the booth. The group of people was talking and discussing while looking at the jade pebbles, and Marcus and Master Benedict were among them.

Canaan pulled Maximilian into the stall, pointed to a pile of Hotan jade pebbles, that were placed in the shape of a hill, and said, "Take a look, how about these jade pebbles?"

The Hotan jade pebbles arranged in the shape of a small mountain were not big, with the thickness and width about 3-5 cm, and the longest with a length of an adult thumb.

They were small pebbles. The skin-colored materials such as sprinkle golden, purple, autumn pear were mixed in those jade pebbles, and the whiteness of the pureness was good, and they looked very eye-catching.

A few men and women stood next to the stall, held small jade pebbles, played with them, and talked about them constantly.

"The luster of this material is really good. As soon as you take it into your hand, you can feel the oiliness. Believe me, this feel is definitely quality jade pebble."

"I totally agree with you. And then look at the pores, they are fine and even. There should be no problem with them. They are definitely real jade pebble."

"The best color is sand color. Nowadays the sprinkled with gold skin and autumn pear skin are very expensive. But we can pick them at random from this booth. I want to pick a few more high quality ones."

Seeing Maximilian come over, Marcus and Master Benedict came to Maximilian's side. As if offering a treasure, Marcus handed Maximilian a green mango-sized jade pebble in his hand.

"Maximilian, look at this. I've been looking at it for a long time, and I feel it's perfectly fine. It is a large piece with enough whiteness. When we go back and ask someone to carve it, it will become a good ornament." Marcus said proudly.

Maximilian took the material from Marcus and looked at it, then handed it back to Marcus with no expression on his face.

Marcus scratched his head and said, "Maximilian, you are…"

"Put it back." Maximilian said indifferently. He lowered his head, casually grabbed a few small pebbles, and looked at them, "The pores are sprayed out by sandblasting, and the color is made of leather. They still have conscience in the material. These are the top grades among Korean materials. The raw material price of this Korean material is about 15,000 dollars a ton. Then, cutting and grinding will consume 30 to 40%. It is not easy for you to make fake jade pebbles."

Following Maximilian's words, the few people next to him who were pretending to be picking stopped their movements and looked at Maximilian with unkind eyes, as if they wanted to kill Maximilian.

The stall keeper even looked at Maximilian viciously, flicked the cigarette in his hand to the ground, and crushed it hard with his foot, "Kid, don't talk nonsense. Just leave if you don't buy it. Don't talk nonsense here. If you affect my business, I'll hit you!"

"You are annoyed. The acting skills of these supporters are not bad, but their lines are too deliberate. If I guess correctly, you price it at one thousand each. After a counter-offer, it can be sold for six to eight hundred dollars each." Maximilian said with a faint smile.

The crowd beside the stall keeper was shocked, and their face changed dramatically. Maximilian revealed their plans, which made them nervous.

Master Benedict shook his head and said with an old pedantic look, "Getting benefit from cheap is to have knowledge and insight. First of all, you should know the value of the object. Secondly, you can know the authenticity of the object. This is the most basic condition for earning any benefit from buying low and selling high. But as for greedy for the cheap, you don't know everything and just go for the cheap. Now you understand? "

"It seems… I understand a little bit. Now thinking about it, whether it is cheap or not should just be a relative concept.” Marcus pondered and said.

Canaan said happily, "Uncle Marcus, don't think about it anymore here. Let's continue walking around quickly. If you encounter anything good, you must let my master check it out. Just now you almost fall into a trap."

Marcus sighed and followed Canaan and Master Benedict with his hands behind his back.

Maximilian took Victoria and Flora around the jade section for a long time, but never came across anything appealing to their eyes. Either the price was too high, or the item wasn’t good enough. In short, there was no suitable thing for them to buy.

After visiting the Jade section, Maximilian and the other two went to the famous stone area.

All kinds of stones imported from abroad and replaced domestic precious stones occupied a large proportion of the exhibition Hall. There were many artists in front of the booths, such as Malay kutnahorite and Laos Stone.

For those engaged in traditional painting and calligraphy, seals were an indispensable object. There were various seals, such as name seals and unofficial seal. It was said they were embarrassed to greet their peers with less than 30 or so seals.

And the material of the seal had also become a symbol of their identity as a calligrapher and painter. If everyone preferred a seal made from high-quality materials, it would become a trend, which would affect anyone involved in the circle.
