Super Golden Hand Chapter 99 Lin Zi's Big (First Update Seeking Monthly Tickets)

  Back at the hotel, Sima Lin, Zheng Kaida and Zhang Wei all rushed into Li Yang's room, with Wu Xiaoli following closely behind.

  "Li Yang, be honest with me, how did you tell it was a high-quality fake?"

  Wu Xiaoli was the first to ask, and everyone else stared at Li Yang with wide eyes. Among those experts, there was a well-known person in the province who couldn't believe that Li Yang had actually figured it out, leaving several people feeling incredulous.

  Li Yang was silent for a moment before slowly speaking up, "Xiaoli, you also know that Old He told me a lot about these counterfeit things. Zhou Yan is someone Old He mentioned many times, and I remember some of his characteristics very clearly."

  Li Yang's biggest drawback is that he has been in contact with antiques for too short a time, and if he says he can tell just by looking at them, probably no one will believe him. It would be better to attribute the reason to He Lao, anyway no one dares to go directly ask He Lao about this question.

  As expected, as soon as the old man He was mentioned, everyone nodded silently. Li Yang continued: "That Shen Hao and I had some misunderstandings before. At that time, I didn't think about whether the thing was fake or not. I just tried to find the hidden marks in several secret places with a try-out mindset. The easiest place to make hidden marks on a jade horse is on its mouth. According to the method taught by Old Man He, I actually found the hidden mark. It can be said that this time I was purely lucky. If there wasn't this hidden mark, I could only follow the expert and say it's real."

  Li Yang finished speaking and spread his hands again. This time, everyone had no more doubts about Li Yang. What Li Yang said was reasonable and logical, plus He Lao was behind him, so it wasn't surprising that Li Yang could recognize the high imitation.

  Everyone knows that He Lao hates counterfeit goods the most, and because of He Lao, the most counterfeiters have been caught. With He Lao's identity in place, it's hard for those he focuses on to escape being caught, Zhou Yan is just a special case.

  "All I can say is that you're lucky, and that Shen Hao guy is unlucky. If he hadn't run into you, he would have continued to be mistaken for the real Subaki Yū in other places."

  Sim Lin sighed heavily, Zhang Wei and others looked at Li Yang's eyes differently now, encountering high imitation and coincidentally letting him see it, such things could make Li Yang encounter, Li Yang's luck was really too invincible.

  The crowd soon stopped asking Li Yang, and the Jade Appreciation Conference, which was originally scheduled for one day, ended in half a day. Zhang Wei took the people from the Mingyang Jade Stone Association to stroll around Nanyang Jade Street in the afternoon, which is the largest jade market in Nanyang.

  Nanyang Jade Street is a very wide main street, with several intersections inside the main street, and the small roads branching out also have shops selling jade all over them. Adding them up, there are at least thousands of them, making it one of the most famous jade markets in China.

  Thousands of jade stone shops, during the Nanyang Jade Market period, most of them will operate some gambling stones. As soon as you enter the main street, the most eye-catching thing is the gambling stone that the owner deliberately places at the door to attract people. Every household has it, and those who don't know think they've entered a big stone market.

  "Li Lao Di, why don't you go in and take a look? Maybe Li Lao can find some good wool to wear for tomorrow's opening ceremony?"

  Zhang Wei pointed to several shops and smiled at Li Yang, saying that seeing so many jade stones had already moved Li Yang's heart. Zhang Wei mentioned this and immediately agreed, walking towards one of the shops.

  Simar Lin, Zheng Kaida and others also followed suit. It's not just Li Yang who is eager to take action. Sima Lin was so enthusiastic about bringing Li Yang to Nanyang, wasn't it all for the sake of gambling on stones?

  "Director Zhang, what's tomorrow's opening red?"

  Li Yang observed the store's jade stones while asking Zhang Wei, Li Yang's way of observing jade stones is different from observing antiques. If he had time, Li Yang would first carefully examine them himself before using his special ability to compare, if he used his special ability to find good jade stones right away, it would lose that kind of fun.

  "Kai Men Hong and Bi Yu are almost the same, but this time they're competing in gambling stones. Each association will bring out one or several of their best jade stones to be appraised on site, and whoever gets the highest value wins."

  Zhang Wei smiled faintly and was also very confident in this trial of opening the red door.

  "By the way, Li Yang, there's something I want to discuss with you first. In the next few days, we'll have internal and external comparisons every day. The internal comparison is a comparison among our local associations, where each association will take out at least a few jade stones for internal comparison every day. If any jade is solved during the internal comparison and is put up for sale, it should be given priority to members of our Jade Association, unless our members don't want it, then it can be sold to others."

  Simarlin reminded Li Yang again that this rule was also something that everyone had long been familiar with, and it was just to take care of the development of the members of the Jade Stone Association itself.

  Inside the Jade Stone Association, there are some people who, like Zhang Wei, are bosses of jade businesses. However, most people are ordinary jade enthusiasts. If they don't want to keep the jade they've obtained for themselves, they will sell it to these bosses, with the highest bidder winning.

  In this way, these jadeites will not be scattered outside, and to some extent, they can provide more raw materials for these bosses this year, which is equivalent to continuing the function of the Jade Association. The main members of the Jade Association are these bosses, and half of the branch presidents in various places are also specialized in jadeite like Zhang Wei.

  Everyone else already knew about this, and only Li Yang, who had just joined the association and was attending an event for the first time, was unclear. Since Li Yang was also from An's Jewelry, Zhang Wei felt it necessary to remind him, but he himself didn't want to bring it up, so he let Sima Lin, who was closest to Li Yang, tell him about these things.

  "This is something everyone already knows, Li old brother you are participating for the first time, so I'm reminding you specially"

  Zhang Wei hurriedly added a sentence, Li Yang is becoming more and more important in Zhang Wei's eyes. Not to mention that Li Yang is already a big name now, just his incredible luck makes Zhang Wei want to bask in it. From the situation of these two days, Li Yang's luck still exists.

  "I understand, you can rest assured, I will follow the rules for things that have rules." Li Yang smiled and asked another question: "Big Brother Sima, what's the difference between internal comparison and external comparison?"

  Sim Lin smiled and slowly began to explain to Li Yang.

  The internal and external comparisons are actually very simple. The Jade Stone Association's gatherings are held to promote positivity and exchange, so the internal comparison is just a trial within the association itself. Every day there will be comparisons, and the branch that solves the best gamble stone on that day will win and receive good points.

  The external comparison is a comparison between the members of the Jade Stone Association and the gamblers who come from outside to Nanyang. The gathering is driven by the Jade Stone Association's meeting. In the early years, there were not many people who came from outside to compare jade stones with the association, but as time went on, after the Henan Jade Stone Association's gatherings in Nanyang became more and more successful, some people with ideas gradually increased. These people come to Nanyang to gamble on jade stones, and then compare the things they gambled out with the members of the Jade Stone Association, ultimately seeing who gets the most good jade.

  In the past, the competition was not rewarded in any way and was purely for fun. As more people came to play with jade stones over the years, the competition was officially listed as an activity project. During the gathering period, every day, the best jade stone that comes out of Nanyang will receive a certificate award, although it has no value, but it is an honor.

  After the external comparison and regularisation, more gamblers came to Nanyang, other provinces also wanted to imitate Nanyang to hold such a jade stone association gathering, but none of them reached the level of Nanyang, other provinces do not have Nanyang's unique conditions, thousand-year-old jade is not just talk.

  In the past two years, some members of jade associations from other provinces and cities would also come to Nanyang during the gathering. Like those scattered gamblers, they are also considered peripheral players. However, the overall level of these jade association members is much higher than that of scattered players, so the good results obtained through gambling are also more numerous.

  Taking last year as an example, the Henan Province Jade Association only had a few hundred people, but other provincial jade associations and individual players actually came to tens of thousands of people. The base ratio was too large, so that in the several days of external comparison, the Henan Province Jade Association won only once, and finally lost even the overall comparison.

  With last year's example, there will be more people coming this year. However, the members of Henan Province Jade Association have long been united in their minds and no longer value external comparisons, as the numbers are too different. If external comparisons can boost Nanyang's economy, let the locals accompany them to play. The presidents of various jade associations within the province still value internal comparisons the most.

  Sim Lin finished, Li Yang basically also looked at all the jade stones in this store. This store has a lot of jade stones, over a hundred pieces, but none of them are good. The most outrageous thing is that more than half of them are fake. These fakes can be seen by Li Yang without using any special abilities.

  "Let's go."

  Sim Lin was also looking at these gambling stones when introducing Li Yang, and finally sighed with Li Yang together. Everyone shook their heads and left afterwards.

  The forest is vast, and it's a bit chaotic. Not many people who truly understand the art of playing with stones have come to Nanyang. Many are just beginners or those who have heard about playing with stones and want to try their luck, giving counterfeiters an opportunity.

  With these people who don't quite understand, counterfeit goods are easy to sell. This is a common occurrence in the country. The Nanyang Jade Stone Culture Center has been rectified several times, but the effect is not obvious. Everyone understands the specific reason, and nowadays, who doesn't take advantage of others' weaknesses?

  The jade stones in these shops are far inferior to those in the Zhengzhou raw materials market. The Zhengzhou market mainly supplies jewelry companies and has strict market management, so counterfeit goods dare not appear there. Unlike here, some shops have up to 90% fake goods, which are even worse than the cheap jade stones Zhang Wei originally placed in his courtyard.

  However, the fake jade can still deceive some people who don't know much about it. But for those who have been playing with jade for many years and are members of the Jade Association, it's hard to cheat them. After visiting several shops in a row, most people lost interest in continuing, so they returned to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow's activities.
