"I'm just a little curious." Facing the old man in front of him, Chen Ran naturally couldn't use the reasons he just told the little girl to deceive him. Anyway, now that he has obtained the stone trough, he is not worried about letting others know his purpose.
, so what if they find out?
"Do you want to bet on this piece of wool?" The fat man and the round-faced girl were confused by Chen Ran's words, but the old man obviously understood what Chen Ran meant. He was startled and looked at Chen Ran in surprise.
From this sentence, it could be heard that Chen Ran's guess was correct. The old man obviously knew that the stone trough was made of wool.
The fat man didn't pay attention to this stone trough just now. After hearing what the old man said, he started to look at the stone trough. As the owner of a jewelry store, he was naturally no stranger to woolen materials. Although this stone trough looked a bit dirty on the outside, he couldn't see it.
Nothing, but when you look at the inside of the stone trough, you can see that the original appearance of this stone trough is really a rough jade stone. You can only see it after a closer look, and this rough jade stone is regarded as
He saw the donkey's drinking water trough, and I'm afraid no one really paid attention to it. Seeing that the stone trough was a piece of jadeite, he naturally also saw that the stone trough was a piece of waste material that had been cut and broken. Naturally, he
He didn't take it to heart, but he was a little surprised that there was a piece of wool in the old man's house. You must know that the old man was very fond of gambling on stones. In fact, what made him strange was that the old man's temper was never very good. You must know that his family
The old man and the old man have been friends for a long time, but the old man still doesn't have a good attitude towards him, and the old man's attitude towards the young man in front of him is obviously a little different. Of course, he didn't think much about it, just thinking that the old man has a different attitude towards this young man.
, maybe it’s because both of them are jade carvers and the young man knows how to carve with eight swords and waves, which makes the old man’s attitude different.
"Grandpa, why do we have a piece of wool in our house, aren't you...?" The round-faced girl was obviously very strange, but she remembered clearly that her grandfather repeatedly prohibited the family from gambling on stones, and her father was because of partnering with others.
After betting a stone once, her grandfather kicked her out. To this day, the father and son are still having a bad temper and don't talk to each other. After her dad was kicked out, he never came into the house again, only when she was on vacation every year.
, just came back to accompany her grandfather.
By this time, the round-faced girl also knew that what Chen Ran had just said to her was all to deceive her, so when she said that, she gave Chen Ran an angry look.
"Haha, it's interesting. This piece of scrap has been placed in the yard for more than 20 years and no one has noticed it. Now you have noticed it and you still want to bet on it. Young man, do you think that something can be cut out of this piece of scrap?
Can the jadeite come?" The old man glanced at the stone trough on the ground and was stunned for a while, but he looked at Chen Ran with some curiosity.
"That's not true. I just accidentally saw a piece of wool like this in your shop and suddenly thought on a whim that there might be jade in it. It didn't cost much anyway, so I bought it back and took a closer look." Chen Ran
I explained it casually. This explanation is undoubtedly as bad as it gets. Many lucky people who got rich overnight by betting on stones will usually say this when asked why they bought this piece of wool. They suddenly felt that this piece of wool might be able to make a fortune.
I cut out the jadeite so I bought it. Although this explanation is terrible, there is no way to refute it, and everyone likes to hear it. As a result, many people become "self-righteous".
Hearing the old man say that this piece of scrap had been lying in the yard for more than 20 years, Chen Ran had no reaction, but the fat man next to him was moved. He had heard from the older generation that the old man in front of him was not a sculpture in his early years.
He started to learn jade carving after he lost his entire family. It is said that the reason why he lost his entire family was because of a piece of wool. The old man pledged all his property to compete with others for a piece of wool that performed extremely well. However, after cutting it open, he was left with nothing.
Well, after that, the old man became depressed, and then he cheered up again and started learning jade carving.
Could it be that the piece of scrap material in front of him was the piece of wool that performed extremely well? The fat man took a closer look at it, but it was just that it was a piece that had been cut or was broken, even if it performed well before.
, it has no value now, and there is really nothing to bet on.
After the old man heard Chen Ran's words, he was slightly stunned. The fat man's guess was correct. This piece of wool was indeed an excellent piece of wool that he had spent two million gambling on in his early years. However, after untying it, it turned out that
It was worthless, and only this little was left. In that era, the purchasing power of two million was unimaginable, and it was definitely more than the 20 million it has today. When the solution collapsed at that time, he almost went crazy and was killed by his family.
They stopped him and prevented him from untying it. After he woke up, he could only accept the result of losing all his money, and the remaining woolen materials were casually thrown in the yard. Later, when he raised a little donkey
, I wanted to carve a drinking trough for the little donkey, so I saw the piece of wool that was leftover and used it as a drinking trough for the little donkey.
Although so many years have passed and things that should be looked away have long been looked away, there is no doubt that there is still a little thought in his heart. Now that someone suddenly wants to bet on him, this thought will be taken away from him.
It came out, but when I heard that Chen Ran just wanted to cut it open to take a look, the little thought in my heart disappeared.
"Young man, this piece of wool is the leftover material from my early years of betting on stones. Since you bought it, I wish you good luck, and I hope you can learn from it."
The old man looked at the stone trough on the ground for a while, sighed, and persuaded Chen Ran. Although he didn't think much about this piece of wool anymore, he had a great sense of identification with it back then.
, now that Chen Ran wanted to bet on this piece of material, it naturally made him have such a good impression of Chen Ran, and he wanted to persuade Chen Ran not to follow the same path as him.
The fat man saw this and regretted it in his heart. He had known that he had bought this piece of wool. Although it was just a piece of scrap, it could be used to please Old Man Lu. It was worth the money. But Chen Ran had already paid
Money, even if he moved it and left, there was no point in regretting it.
Although Chen Ran didn't know what was going on, he could guess what was going on by looking at the expression on the old man's face. However, he was not familiar with the old man in front of him, so he didn't have much to say, so he could only feel sorry for him in his heart.
After hearing the other party's persuasion, he appreciated it, thanked him, picked up the stone trough, greeted Yang Shijie, moved the two stone sculptures, nodded to the old man in front of him, said hello, and turned to leave, but he had just
As he turned to leave, there was an urgent braying of a donkey behind him.
Taking a step forward, the donkey's braying became more urgent. Chen Ran naturally knew what was going on, so he couldn't help but stop and look back. He saw the little donkey sticking its head towards him and braying eagerly.
, as if reluctant to let him go, and couldn't bear it, he waved his hand towards it, comforted it, and then turned and left.
The little donkey seemed to understand what he meant. It brayed twice happily and stopped braying. It just stared at him with big watery eyes and watched him leave. This scene was remarkable, let alone the fat man and the round face.
The girl was dumbfounded, and even the old man was stunned, and then he laughed happily.
"Brother, how did you get back a few broken stones?" After leaving the stone carving workshop, he saw Zhu Feng and Master Zhao waiting at the entrance of Boss Wang's place. The weather in Yunnan would have been very bad if it didn't rain in June.
It was hot, and Zhu Feng and the others were sweating profusely from the heat. However, they bought a few sugar canes somewhere and were gnawing on them. When they saw Yang Shijie carrying two stones, Chen Ran also put them on the ground.
When Zhu Feng walked back holding a stone, his face became full of dissatisfaction.
"Brother Feng, what's that look in your eyes? I'm a stone sculpture, not a stone." Chen Ran chuckled. He just got a big deal. Although it didn't make him smile from ear to ear, his mood was still good.
.
"Where are the stone sculptures? No one picked them up when they were thrown on the roadside. Have you been deceived by others?" Zhu Feng glanced at the two stone sculptures Yang Shijie put down, and then looked at the stone trough Chen Ran placed on the ground.
When he came, his face suddenly became full of disdain, and he stretched out his foot to kick the stone trough and stir it up.
Seeing Zhu Feng kicking the stone trough aside, Chen Ran was speechless. He quickly picked up the stone trough and changed the topic: "Lao Daizhang, it's getting late. Let's pick it up.
Go back."
"These two boys are still inside." Zhu Feng took a hard bite of the sugar cane, chewed it hard twice, and spit it out with a pop. Then he waved his bodyguards to call Guo Hai and Zhang Shuchun.
return.
Master Zhao also smiled and handed a sugar cane to Yang Shijie and Chen Ran respectively. Chen Ran took it, but did not eat it. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Guosheng. He took so many goods and put them in the hotel.
It's definitely not possible in the room. We need to ask Zhao Guosheng to make arrangements. By the way, let him help arrange how to safely transport this batch of goods back to Tianzhong.
Neither of these two things was difficult for Zhao Guosheng. In addition, he still felt guilty about Chen Ran, so he agreed wholeheartedly.
Chen Ran felt relieved and loaded the two stone sculptures and the stone trough into the truck. After telling Overlord to take care of the stone trough, Guo Hai and Zhang Shuchun ran out, and both of them also
They selected a piece of wool each. Chen Ran led them to select the wool. He had already looked at it for them at the time, so they didn't need to look at it. They loaded it into the car and the group of people set off.
When a business car and two trucks arrived at the hotel, Zhao Guosheng was already waiting at the hotel. The two trucks drove directly into the warehouse. Chen Ran observed the warehouse. This warehouse was obviously used to store valuables, so it was safe.
It's no problem, so I'm relieved.
Of course, he was only worried about the woolen materials he selected himself, such as the stone trough. No matter how safe it was, he would not worry about it, so he brought the stone trough directly into the room, which angered Zhu Feng and Guo Hai.
He joked that he was holding a broken stone as a treasure.
Chen Ran didn't take it seriously and put the stone trough directly into the cabinet in his room. After sending Zhao Guosheng away, the brothers spent more than an hour taking out the jade meat from the woolen material they had untied in the afternoon.
Zhu Feng asked Chen Ran how to dispose of these pieces of jadeite. He heard that Chen Ran said he wanted to open a jade shop, so he asked Chen Ran how to dispose of it. Naturally, he handed it over directly to Chen Ran. After all, jade in a jewelry store
The demand for raw materials is huge, and almost all of them are out of stock. Now that Chen Ran wants to open a jade shop, there is no reason to sell to outsiders?
Chen Ran did not agree. Other jade dealers were in urgent need of jade raw materials, but he was different from them. He did not talk about the future, but only said that after he selected such wool and cut it, even if he opened a jade shop, he would not agree.
It's so big that I probably won't be able to digest it for a while...
