The owner of this jewelry store is called Wang Long. He is of medium height and slightly fat. He wears a silk vest, a pair of small round glasses, and a melon skin hat. Although he is over forty years old, he looks...
It looks a little cute and joyful.
He was very polite to Li Hao and said with a smile: "Master Li, why are you here in Haizhou? Do you have anything to do with me today?"
"I just came here a few days ago...Boss Wang, my friend has two rough stones that he would like you to identify. They were brought from Myanmar," Li Hao said.
"Oh?" Wang Long said with a smile, "Brought from Burma? Wait a moment..."
He turned around and took out a wooden box from behind the counter, and opened it carefully. The wooden box contained magnifying glasses, rulers, bright flashlights and other tools commonly used to identify gems.
He carefully put on a pair of white gloves and said with a smile, "Here, show me."
Wang Long took the rough stone from Su Xiaorou and looked at it carefully. As he kept turning it over, his expression kept changing. He was sometimes happy and sometimes worried. Li Hao felt nervous. If Wang Long said this
It was a fine rough stone, so he would have lost a lot of face today!
After observing with the naked eye for a while, Wang Long put on a magnifying glass and flashlight again and observed more carefully. Li Hao was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Su Xiaorou blinked her big eyes, secretly expecting Wang Long to come to the conclusion that "this is a very valuable stone".
As for Li Hao, his expectations were naturally the opposite of Su Xiaorou's. He wished that Wang Long's conclusion was "this is a piece of waste."
Liu Mengyan didn't pay much attention to this stone. What was inside the stone really didn't matter to her. She just liked the texture on the surface of the stone. What she also liked was Xia Yu's intention - of course this
She would never admit it. Her eyes were attracted by the jade pieces displayed in the store, and she slowly walked to the counter to admire them.
Xia Yu didn't bother to care about the conclusion given by Wang Long, because he was 100% sure that this stone was definitely not an ordinary thing, it was something stored in the vault! If Wang Long came to the same conclusion as Li Hao, then
This can only mean that his level is not good enough. Seeing Liu Mengyan looking at a piece of jade with great interest, he walked over and said with a smile: "The violet pendant seems to suit you very well, do you want it?"
?I’ll give it to you!”
Liu Mengyan was a little surprised, "Are you so kind? Is there something you want me to help with?"
Xia Yu smiled and said, "I just think that this noble violet pendant can only be matched by your beauty."
"Tch...you can actually be glib!" Although Liu Mengyan's tone was a bit disdainful, her pretty face was smiling proudly, and there was a hint of sweetness hidden in her proud look. She thought for a while and said, "You can't either
Just buy it for me and let Xiaorou choose one later. In fact, this violet color suits her quite well."
"I think she is more suitable for the blue one... I will ask her later, but if she also likes this one, I'm afraid she will have to order it."
"Why?"
"You see, everything in this store is unique. This pendant must be the only one."
"Oh..." Liu Mengyan hesitated for a while, "We'll talk about it later. If Xiaorou likes it, give it to her. At worst, we can take turns wearing it."
While the two were talking, Wang Long had finished the appraisal. He silently put all the tools in the box and returned the rough stone to Su Xiaorou.
"Uncle Wei, you are talking!" Sister Xiaorou said anxiously, "What kind of jade is in here?"
Wang Long's face darkened, he coughed slightly, and said with a smile: "Little sister, there is no jade in this."
"No jade?" Su Xiaorou asked curiously, "What's in it?"
"This..." Wang Long sighed, "There are only ordinary stones in here."
"Ah?" Su Xiaorou said in shock, "How is that possible? You must have seen it wrong! You have definitely seen it wrong!"
When Li Hao on the side heard this, he felt as happy as if he had taken a bite of iced watermelon on a hot day. He said to Su Xiaorou with a regretful look: "Mr. Wang is an expert in the industry, so he can't be wrong... and Mr. Xia also said that he also
I don’t know how to appreciate gems, so... maybe I was deceived by someone using ordinary stones."
"Impossible!" Su Xiaorou pouted, "Uncle Wei must have made a mistake. How about we open the stone and have a look! I don't believe this is an ordinary stone!"
"Xiaorou..." Liu Mengyan advised, "Forget it, there's no need to open it. Don't you think the pattern on the surface of this stone is very beautiful? Isn't it that we put it up just to see its pattern?"
On the one hand, Sister Xiaorou firmly believed that this stone was priceless, but at the same time, she did not want Xia Yu to lose face in front of Liu Mengyan, so she shook her head vigorously, "No! I must open it and take a look! This stone is definitely not an ordinary stone!"
"
"Little sister..." Wang Long tried to smooth things over, "Maybe what I said is not accurate. There may be a little bit of jade in it, but it's not useful and has no value for collection or processing. Do you understand?
But what this lady said is quite right, the pattern of this stone is indeed very beautiful and has certain aesthetic value!"
"No, no! I want to open it and take a look!" Su Xiaorou pouted, "Does it cost a processing fee to open it? Then I'll pay you the processing fee!"
As she spoke, she took out a credit card from her small bag, handed it to Wang Long, and said, "Within two million, you can use it as you like!"
Wang Long looked at this stubborn "little rich woman" with a wry smile, and sighed, "I can open the stone for you for free, but once the stone is opened, it will lose its aesthetic value."
"Open it...open it and take a look..." Xia Yu said with a smile, "Anyway, I still have one here, and the pattern is quite beautiful."
"Open! Open quickly!" Su Xiaorou urged.
Li Hao couldn't help but secretly despise Xia Yu, he was obviously a desperate gambler! Forget it! Let him lose his face.
Several people arrived at the processing workshop behind the store. Wang Long called a worker and said, "Cut this stone and take a look. Just cut it from about one-third of the way."
The worker is a veteran, he is skilled in fixing the stones on the workbench, and he is about to start manipulating the tools.
"Stop!" Xia Yu grabbed him and asked: "Boss Wang, can you just peel off a little bit of skin and take a look? It should be called 'opening the window', right?"
Wang Long wondered: "Mr. Xia, to be honest, I don't need to open the window for this stone, because...how to say...oh...forget it, if you are willing to open the window, I will open the window for you to see."
Then, he turned around and ordered the workers to open windows for the stone.
This worker is also an old man in this industry. He was just wondering why Boss Wang wanted to get an ordinary stone to cut. Then he realized that it was the man named Xia who bought fake goods at a high price and Boss Wang found out.
The man named Xia was unwilling to do so and insisted on cutting it open and trying it.
He secretly mourned for Xia Yu for a few seconds, then skillfully operated the tool and polished the surface of the stone.
After polishing for more than ten seconds, the worker suddenly shouted in horror: "Oh my God!"
