CHAPTER 669 THE OVERWHELMED STALL OWNER

The stall owner put down his phone, glanced at Maximilian curiously, and said lazily, "You know a lot!

That’s good."

"I’m interested in Jade. I know a little bit, but it's just some superficial facts." Maximilian said modestly.

"You are quite modest. Have you taken a fancy to it? I can give you a discount if you like."

"The bloodstones on your booth are all produced in Bahrain, and they are all hard-bottomed. It is

worthless." Maximilian said with a smile.

"You know a lot about hard-bottomed bloodstones. That is good for you. It seems that the good things I

have can finally be appreciated by a professional. Since you know the business, come and take a

look."

The stall owner got up from the deck chair, opened the cabinet under the stall, and took out a long

wooden box.

The long wooden box was carefully placed on the booth, and the owner pushed the lid of the wooden

box open, revealing all kinds of seal materials inside.

"These are all types of seal materials I have collected all my life. Look at it! This is a piece of three-

colored Jade, the standard rhino horn frozen-bottomed bloodstone, rarer than ordinary frozen-bottomed

bloodstones.

And this piece of orpiment, have you seen it? There is a golden spun, one out of ten thousand. The

color is fresh and tender. Don't compare it with imported orpiment. This is incomparable.”

“Look at a piece of lychee frozen-bottomed bloodstone, it is the highest grade, and it has the texture of

lychee fruit. It’s bright and spotless. I even want to take a bite!”

Look at the color of this raw quartz, how beautiful it is, the baby pink of the lotus, with this glittering and

translucent texture, it is definitely the masterwork. "

The stall owner introduced with excitement.

Both Victoria and Flora looked at the seal materials curiously, especially attracted by the ross quartz

and the lychee frozen-bottomed bloodstones. The crystal clear and glittering texture are what women

like most.

Maximilian casually picked up an inconspicuous piece of pure black seal material from the box, held it

in his hands and played with it gently.

"This jet is good, it is pure, and it weighs heavy, it is the best of jet."

"You are smart, most people can’t recognize it, in the past, it was only used by big bug."

The most famous person who used jet as a seal was Master Dugu (502 -557AD). He was known as the

most famous father-in-law! He was the father-in-law of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, and grandfather

of the first emperor of Tang dynasty.

Master Dugu had three daughters. They are Empress Mingjing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Empress

Yuan Zhen, mother of the first emperor of Tang Dynasty, and Empress Wenxian of Emperor Wen in Sui

Dynasty.

He used a piece of hexahedron jet as a seal, and fourteen seals were engraved on its twenty-six

surfaces, forming a complex combination of seal.

The formation of the seal itself was classy, and it can be regarded as unprecedented in the entire

human history.

After playing with the jet, Maximilian put it back and looked at the stall owner with a smile and said, "Is

there anything better?"

"Do you think these are not good enough? You have a very good taste. Any of these is of the top

quality." The stall owner said with great certainty.

Maximilian sneered and shook his head, "Top? It is significantly far from a masterpiece. The jet is great,

and the others are just passable."

Both Victoria and Flora frowned, and looked at the seal in the box in confusion.

"Is there anything wrong with the seal?"

"I think these seals are lovely, and there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

The stall owner's expression changed, and he bit the bullet and said, "You can't talk nonsense. If you

say my goods are not top grade, you have to prove it; otherwise, it is purely fictitious slander."

"Do you think I'm slandering you? You know exactly what I’m talking about. You are inferior in fooling

people. I have already shown you my knowledge in this area. Do you still want to swindle?" Maximilian

said cheerfully.

"What do you mean by this? I don't understand. Anyway, if you say my goods are faked, then you have

to prove it."

The stall owner shook his head and played the fool.

"There were materials from Outer Mongolia in the jade market. When those materials first came out,

many old hands mistook them for high-quality white jade.”

“However, as some buyers with enquiring mind, they finally found the materials were made of

polymethyl methacrylate, and the materials were known as materials made for layman.”

“What you showed me have the same recipe with the Outer Mongolia materials, with different toner. Do

I make it clear? You have no advantages if I make it clearer. " C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

The stall owner’s spirit was low, and he just kept grinning awkwardly.

Victoria picked up a piece in surprise and looked at it. No matter how closely she observed, it was just

a stone and had nothing to do with glass.

"Is this glass? It doesn’t look like glass, and it doesn't feel like glass when I hold it in my hand."

"Nowadays, the technology has advanced rapidly. Organic glass is different from ordinary glass. The

specially handled organic glass can have the texture of jade.”

“Most of the fine imitations made of organic glass are difficult to distinguish with human eyes and have

to be tested by professional equipment. Or you have rich experience in identifying jewelry and jade."

Maximilian explained and mentioned the key points.

Nowadays, the technology of making fake jewelry and jade was getting better day by day.

"You are great, and you can see these materials are faked at a glance. You are bad as a seller. You

want to use counterfeit to deceive us. I thought I came across something good." Flora stared at the stall

owner resentfully.

The stall owner became even more embarrassed, and he held his hand into a fist and said to

Maximilian, "You are an expert, and I admire you. To be frank, I don’t have any good stuff, but my boss

has. If you trust me, I will take you over."

These vendors who came to the exhibition were not fighting alone. Most of them joined to certain

organization. They toured the country, stayed in each place for several days before they went to the

next city.

The stall owner was overwhelmed by Maximilian, and planned to take them to see their leader.
