Soon, He Qing and Zhao Baowen got in the car and rushed to the hotel in the city. After returning to the hotel, He Qing just waited for Mr. Huo, the "King of Hotan", to contact him.
"Brother Qing, do you want to sell that mutton-fat jade to Mr. Huo?" Lin Haitao suddenly asked in the room.
He Qing never said why Mr. Huo contacted him as soon as possible to discuss relevant matters. Lin Haitao was full of curiosity and wanted to know what happened.
"Well, Haitao, you guessed it right." He Qing nodded and said, "I just told the housekeeper about the mutton-fat jade."
"So it's really like this!" Lin Haitao suddenly realized, "But... Brother Qing, are you willing to give up such a good piece of jade to Mr. Huo? That is top-grade mutton-fat jade, and its size is also very impressive. Like that
Hotan jade is rare, and it is absolutely priceless in the jade market. Sometimes you can’t even buy it!”
He Qing smiled and said: "What's the reluctance to part with? The jade I got through gambling was originally going to be sold. As long as the price is high, that's fine."
Lin Haitao asked back: "Didn't you say that you really wanted to own a piece of mutton-fat jade before? Now you finally got a good piece by gambling, but you want to sell it to Mr. Huo. Do you want to seriously consider it? Suet-fat jade is rare and precious.
, the price is very high wherever you put it.
, there is no need to sell it to Mr. Huo. Of course, Mr. Huo is the 'King of Hotan'. He is addicted to jade. It is strange that he is not tempted by such a good piece of Hetian jade. And he is a rich man with plenty of money.
, it will indeed offer a very high price.”
He Qing shook his head gently and smiled meaningfully: "Haitao, it seems you haven't understood what I mean. The reason why I did this is not to make this deal. As for mutton-fat jade, I believe that in the future
I will still bet on it, and I will bet on something bigger and better.”
"Why is that?" Lin Haitao asked doubtfully.
He Qing said: "You all know that Mr. Huo is the 'King of Hotan'. He especially likes to collect Hotan jade. If you don't tell them that I have a top-grade mutton-fat jade in my hand, then do you think you can invite him? You must.
It’s hard to see him if he’s not moving.”
Lin Haitao nodded and said: "I understand. It turns out that you borrowed this stone to get close to Mr. Huo, and then tried to find a way to enter his jade collection, and then buy the stones he purchased from Boss Xia and the others."
He Qing responded: "Well, almost."
Lin Haitao guessed to a certain extent, but he did not fully guess He Qing's true thoughts. He Qing was indeed trying to find a way to acquire those promising stones, but his purpose was far beyond that.
Since Mr. Huo is the "King of Hotan" and has collected countless Hotan jade, including some of the best jade, He Qing wants to feast his eyes on it and take a good look at it to see which unopened stones contain real good jade. If it is true,
If he finds top-quality Hetian jade, he can find a way to get it from Mr. Huo and make it his own.
"But what if he buys your stone but is unwilling to sell you the wool? Wouldn't it be a waste of joy?" Lin Haitao said worriedly for He Qing.
He Qing said: "No, I still have a way. Haitao, you will know when the time comes."
"Well, then I'm relieved." Seeing that He Qing looked confident, Lin Haitao felt relieved and didn't ask any more questions at the moment.
After a while, the cell phone in He Qing's pocket suddenly rang. Someone called him.
"Could it be Mr. Huo calling?!" Lin Haitao asked in surprise and joy.
He Qing said: "I don't know, but it's possible that someone from them contacted me."
He immediately took out his mobile phone to answer the call, only to see an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen, so it was very likely that it was Mr. Huo's person, or even the call from him himself.
In the excitement, He Qing calmed down and pressed the answer button. Then he heard a middle-aged man's greeting from the other end of the phone: "Hello, are you Mr. He?"
"Yes, I am. Are you?" He Qing replied.
The man quickly said: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hu Bin. I was sent by Mr. Huo to find you. He wants to ask me to confirm something. I don't know if it's inconvenient for you. When can we meet and talk?
.”
He Qing said: "It's convenient, anytime is convenient, you can come directly."
He immediately told Mr. Huo's person the name of the hotel where he was staying. The person was obviously very familiar with this place. As soon as He Qing mentioned the name of the hotel, he said he knew it and told He Qing that he would come over immediately to find him.
he..
He Qing agreed one by one, then said goodbye and hung up the phone.
"Isn't it a call from Mr. Huo himself?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing nodded and said: "Well, it's not him, it's one of his servants. Mr. Huo is really difficult to recruit. I guess he was a little suspicious and worried that my stone was not as good as he said, so he sent someone to confirm it first.
one time."
Lin Haitao said: "The 'King of Hotan' is not an ordinary person, let alone a stranger. Even if the local mayor wants to invite him to attend any event, he will probably refuse. It is said that Mr. Huo is a weirdo and has a weird temper.
.”
He Qing said: "Don't worry about this. I believe he will show up in person and sit down with me to discuss the business."
"That's right!" Lin Haitao nodded solemnly, "Who told you that the piece of Hetian jade in your hand is so good? Although Mr. Huo is the king of Hetian jade collectors and may have collected countless fine Hetian jade, I think he confiscated it.
How many pieces of suet-fat jade of your quality can I get?"
He Qing shook his head and said: "It's uncertain, but I'm sure that he will be interested in my piece of mutton-fat jade. According to his surname of 'King of Hotan', once he likes something, he will not take it."
You can’t do it!”
Next, after waiting for about an hour, He Qing suddenly received another call. It was from Mr. Huo's "messenger", a middle-aged man who called himself "Hu Bin".
The other party said on the phone that he had arrived and was waiting at the door of the hotel. He Qing said he would get down immediately.
After a while, He Qing quickly arrived at the door downstairs.
Sure enough, I saw a middle-aged man standing by the door. The man was of medium build, wearing a crisp suit, with well-polished leather shoes, and holding a briefcase in his hand. He looked like a secretary.
"Hello, are you Mr. Hu?" He Qing walked up and greeted politely.
"Yes, I am Hu Bin." The man nodded repeatedly and said, "You should be Mr. He. Mr. He, Mr. Huo asked me to come over and take a look at the stone. Can you let me take a look first?"
He Qing nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Of course. Mr. Hu, please go in and talk."
"Thank you." Hu Bin nodded politely.
At that moment, He Qing invited Hu Bin into the guest room, and as soon as he walked in, he took out the stone and showed it to the other party. Anyway, Hu Bin was just here to verify the jade, so just show it to him without saying anything else.
"Yo!" As soon as he saw the piece of mutton-fat jade, Hu Bin's eyes shone with surprise. He immediately took out a magnifying glass from his bag, stood up and examined the stone in detail.
After looking over and over again, Hu Bin raised his head and looked at He Qing.
"Mr. Hu, how is it? Is this stone still worthy of your attention?" He Qing asked with a smile.
"Yes! Why not?!" Hu Bin nodded heavily and said, "Mr. He, this is real mutton-fat jade. It is very beautiful, rare, so rare!"
"Really?" He Qing said seriously, "Mr. Hu, thank you for your help."
"No, if you can find such a good stone, it means you are a great expert and your vision is much better!" Hu Bin shook his head quickly.
He Qing said modestly: "You deserve the award."
Hu Bin paused and said, "Mr. He, are you willing to give us this stone? If you really want it, you might as well give a price. As long as the price is right, then we will take it."
He Qing did not answer but asked: "Is this what Mr. Huo meant?"
"Yes, that's what he meant. He said that as long as it is a good stone, I want it!" Hu Bin nodded with a smile.
He Qing said, "I won't talk to you about this now. I want to talk to Mr. Huo face to face, and we can discuss the rest later."
Hu Bin said: "Isn't it the same if you sell it to me directly? As for the price, it's easy to talk about. I will never let you down until you are satisfied. What do you think?"
He Qing shook his head and said: "Mr. Hu, I think you don't understand what I mean. I want to talk to Mr. Huo about this mutton-fat jade. Apart from this, I have more important things to tell him."
"Is there something more important? What is it? Can you tell me?" Hu Bin asked hurriedly.
He Qing said: "Of course not, this is a secret, so I'm sorry, please understand."
"Secret?" Hu Bin said in surprise.
"Yes, it's a secret." He Qing said solemnly, "Mr. Hu, tell Mr. Huo this matter. If he is interested, then invite him to come over. Of course, I can also visit him.
Discuss this matter with him face to face. If he is not interested, forget it, it doesn’t matter, we can still cooperate in the future.”
"I definitely want that piece of mutton-fat jade. Don't give it to anyone else!" Hu Bin nodded hurriedly, "Mr. He, okay, I'll call Mr. Huo right away and see what he says."
"Well, you go ahead, don't be in a hurry." He Qing nodded and agreed.
Then Hu Bin walked aside and called Mr. Huo. Not long after, he turned around and walked back, saying happily: "Mr. He, Mr. Huo said that he invited you to his home as a guest and held a banquet to welcome you in the evening.
.”
"Okay, I will go to the banquet on time." He Qing responded.
Later, he saw Hu Bin leave the hotel. When he came back, he told Lin Haitao, Zhao Baowen and others the news. In the evening, he took Lin Haitao and drove to Mr. Huo's villa.
When I arrived at the villa, the housekeeper came out to greet me and was very polite.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, He Qing and Lin Haitao walked in.
Inside the villa, the yard is large and the scenery is beautiful.
Not long after, He Qing and the others stepped into the living room. The moment they walked into the hall, He Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw that the "precious light" inside was filled with spiritual energy. (To be continued.)
