() "Old man Gui, why don't you go to the back room to start work with the stone in your arms?" Zhang Xiao angrily called to Gui Qiren.
"Zhang Xiaoqi, you'd better stop calling my master around in front of me." Li Tianbao said angrily.
Zhang Xiao said with disdain on his face: "Your master is my employee here. It's my business how to handle him. You don't need to teach me."
"You can't call me master while I'm here." After saying that, Li Tianbao turned to Gui Qiren and whispered: "Master, you teach me, I will open this stone, and you can also let me learn."
Li Tianbao picked up the jade stone and walked into the back room. Of course, he didn't need anyone else to lead him here.
Under Gui Qiren's guidance, Li Tianbao first made a small cut on the edge of the stone, peeling off less than three centimeters of the outer skin, revealing the crystal clear jade texture inside.
Li Tianbao, who had been prepared, was not surprised, but Gui Qiren and Zhang Xiaoqi were shocked by the jade quality that was almost glass. However, the texture of less than five centimeters exposed was enough to cost 50,000 yuan.
.
Zhang Xiaoqi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, how about I pay 50,000 yuan?"
Li Tianbao turned around and smiled and said: "Now you offer 50,000 yuan, and you think I am a fool. I am giving you a chance. You can't offer 600,000 yuan."
Zhang Xiaoqi is really angry and regretful, but it is impossible for him to pay 600,000 yuan now. Of course, Li Tianbao also knows in his heart, otherwise he will not give this price. He is not waiting for Zhang Xiaoqi, Li Tianbao's hand
There was no hesitation, and after more than ten minutes, a piece of crystal-clear jade made of ice, as transparent as glass, appeared in front of the three of them.
Zhang Xiaoqi's nose was so regretful that it was crooked at this moment. He stretched out his hand and slapped his face several times, "You're so stupid, you're so stupid."
Looking at his appearance, Li Tianbao and Gui Qiren looked at each other and smiled. Then Li Tianbao held the opened items and returned outside. He sat on the sofa and stroked the baby in his arms while watching happily.
Zhang Xiao was angry with a bitter look on his face.
Zhang Xiao was angry for a while before speaking, "Do you want to sell it for two million?"
When Li Tianbao heard the price quoted by Zhang Xiaoqi, he couldn't help but feel excited. He thought, "One and a half million has just changed hands and turned into two million. This deal can certainly be done." Li Tianbao was about to agree.
At that moment, from the corner of his eye, he saw Gui Qiren waving his hand towards him and extending three fingers to shake towards him.
"Damn it, you Zhang Xiaoqi is really cruel. You want to eat me alive for a million dollars. Fortunately, the master warned me, otherwise I would have taken advantage of you." Thinking of this, Li Tianbao curled his lips towards Zhang Xiaoqi and said:
"I'll sell you half of it for two million. Do you want to buy it? I tell you that if you lose three million, don't even think about taking advantage of my treasure."
After speaking, Li Tianbao glanced at Gui Qiren and found that the master smiled at him happily.
Zhang Xiao's eyes were red with anger. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "I can give you up to 2.5 million."
"You are really a 250-year-old man. Don't pull me down. I'm worried that I won't be able to sell such high-quality rough stones!" After saying that, Li Tianbao stood up and was about to leave. Zhang Xiaoqi hurriedly stopped him and gritted his teeth: "
Okay, just three million, just wait and I'll write you a check right away."
"If you don't want a check, just go online and transfer the money to my card, and the jade will be yours." Of course, Li Tianbao couldn't trust this guy Zhang Xiaoqi, because his check was not as secure as being deposited directly into his account.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqi could only agree, then took out his laptop and started transferring money.
Li Tianbao walked up to the master and said: "Master, don't work here anymore. You are already so old. It's time to enjoy a happy life."
"Bad boy, do you think the master is old?" Although Gui Qiren was happy in his heart, his words were still stiff.
Li Tianbao said earnestly: "Master, you know I don't mean that. Now that I have money, I can fully support you. Isn't it said that master and apprentice are like father and son? I am an orphan and you have no children. I have always regarded you as my father."
Look at it, how can my son let his father work hard outside when his son is rich?"
Gui Qiren's old eyes almost shed tears. When he was still thinking of saying something, Li Tianbao's cell phone made a message sound. He clicked on the text message and saw that it was the bank's payment information.
"The money is in your card, and this thing belongs to me." Zhang Xiao angrily picked up Jade and walked into his office.
Li Tianbao put down his cell phone, took Gui Qiren's hand, and walked out regardless.
"You brat, I still have one month's salary left with Gui Qiren."
"No, I'll give it to you later."
When he came outside, Li Tianbao told Gui Qiren about this matter, but he didn't say anything about the superpowers of his own eyes. It wasn't that Li Tianbao didn't trust Gui Qiren, he just thought that it was best for him to deal with this matter alone.
It’s good to know.
Gui Qiren was also amazed after hearing this, and told Li Tianbao to be careful in the future. Betting on stones does not always succeed.
Li Tianbao repeatedly said yes, and told the master that he should help with the affairs of the "Antique Room" across the street.
After crossing the road, the two walked into the "Antique Studio". When they came inside, Li Tianbao saw Lin Meiru discussing the price with the boss.
"Can it be cheaper? How about 3.5 million? We really don't have more than that, so we have to borrow some!" Lin Meiru said.
"No, it's not even a penny less than four million, and you don't even look at the things I have here. Everything is exquisite." The boss of Youtou Noodles said firmly.
Li Tianbao stepped forward and said: "What kind of exquisite products do you want my master to estimate the price for you?"
The boss looked Li Tianbao up and down, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Gui Qiren next to him. The boss quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Gui, it's you. Please sit down quickly."
When Li Tianbao heard this, it seemed that the boss knew the master. It was no wonder that the master had been staying on this antique street for most of his life. Anyone who had opened a shop on this street for a long time knew him.
After Gui Qiren finished, the boss asked someone to pour a cup of tea. Gui Qiren drank some water and said: "Boss Wang, this is my apprentice. He and this girl want to jointly open your store. Do you think you can give them a
Fair price.”
After hearing this, Boss Wang nodded and said: "Since I am your old apprentice, I won't ask for it blindly." He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then continued: "Do you think this can work? Three million, I'm really good at it."
No, I have already paid the rent for this store for three years, plus these things in the store..."
Gui Qiren took a cursory look at the items in his shop, and with three years of monthly rent, he felt that the price was about the same. Li Tianbao saw the master nodding towards him, and he understood in his heart.
