Lu Cheng did not express joy at the compliments from the boss and the waiters, but said with a "haha" smile: "It's not a big increase. Even if I give out 30 bracelets, it's less than 3 million. It's not enough to compensate for my losses! Last time
I bought a few stones in Jieyang and spent more than 7 million, but they were all scraps!" He was talking nonsense, saying that he was an old player and winning or losing was a common thing for military strategists.
To be honest, he didn't want to use these white jadeite to make jade bracelets. Instead, he wanted to cut them into jade slips to make jade talismans. Perhaps the jade talisman made of jadeite was no less than mutton-fat white jade.
Jadeite and mutton-fat white jade belong to two varieties, one is jadeite and the other is nephrite.
So far, he has not tried to carve with jade, because the jade in his hand is a treasure and he is reluctant to use it for experiments.
Lu Cheng picked up the cut stone and prepared to go out.
At this time, I suddenly heard the store owner shouting: "Young man, if you really fancy that treasure, I will give you the lowest price, 15 million! How about it?"
Lu Cheng said: "Wait a minute, I'll put these two pieces in the car and look back again."
After waiting for a while, he walked back and touched the original stone.
After about three minutes, he shook his head and said: "It still doesn't work. There are too many cracks! I can't even make a bracelet."
The shop owner said angrily: "That's nonsense. Do you have clairvoyance? Why do you say there are many cracks inside?"
Lu Cheng said: "Sorry, if you don't believe it, you can cut it yourself."
"14 million!"
"I said, up to 8 million."
The shop owner bought this stone many years ago. At that time, the jade industry was not so booming. He only spent 1 million, but it has not been sold after 10 years! Many masters who play with jade came to see it.
Everyone said they were not optimistic about it. Not only did it have cracks, but it also had ringworm. I didn’t know how much of the ribbon outside could be absorbed, so I couldn’t sell it at a high price.
The shop owner has never been willing to sell at a lower price. He raised the price by 30% every year, gradually reaching a high price of 20 million! However, he has been unable to sell, and no matter how high the price is, it is useless!
He didn’t dare to cut it himself! In the early years, pieces of it broke apart, but later he vowed never to cut them again.
He looked at Lu Cheng angrily and shouted: "10 million! I will vomit blood and sell it to you!"
Lu Cheng shook his head: "8 million! This stone is very strange. If it had been anyone else, it would have collapsed! If it falls into my hands, I might be able to save my capital!"
The shop owner is getting angrier!
He is over fifty years old and has a large bald spot on his head.
He pulled the rest of his hair hard, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm so angry! I'll sell it to you for 8 million!"
In fact, he didn't lose money after selling it for 8 million! If you exchange it for cash, you can buy new materials. Others bid less than 500, and the price given by Lu Cheng was already the highest.
Jiang Qiuyun interjected: "8 million? Is it too expensive?"
Lu Cheng said: "Once you say something, it's hard to chase it back." He immediately transferred the money and completed the transaction.
He didn't cut it in the shop, because it would take a long time to cut such a big stone. He picked up the stone and walked out of the shop, put it in the car, and prepared to take it back.
Afterwards, he sent Jiang Qiuyun back to school and said goodbye reluctantly at the school gate.
Jiang Qiuyun returned to the dormitory and was met with suspicious looks from two classmates.
Zhang Min said with a smile: "Okay! If you don't go home at night, where can you do bad things?"
Jiang Qiuyun said: "What bad thing are you doing?"
"Let me see, is Shou Gongsha still there?"
"Keep your head in check!"
Jiang Qiuyun turned on the computer and sat there in a daze, imagining a new novel.
Hong Qingni smiled and said: "It seems like something happened last night, otherwise how could I be so devastated?"
Jiang Qiuyun rolled her eyes at them: "Don't talk nonsense, I am pure and pure, with flawless white jade! I have good news for you. The novel I wrote, "The Bald Man Under the Lamp", is going to be made into a TV series! There are two minor supporting roles in it.
, your names are used in the book! If you two please me, I can recommend it to the crew and let you perform in your true colors!"
"Ah? Can we still go filming?" Zhang Min said: "If it's a holiday, I can go and have fun. I usually have to go to class, so how can I have free time?"
Hong Qingni asked: "Where to shoot?"
"Hengdian Film and Television City, Qingming Riverside Scenic Area."
"What about yourself? Have you ever thought about playing a role?"
"I never thought about it."
"Are you going to write a new book? Remember to leave me an important role!"
"The new book is almost ready. The title is "Feng Yue Huang Meiyu", which is similar to the previous one. It is also a time-travel romance novel."
Zhang Min smiled and shook his head: "I didn't expect that people would still read romance novels these days! Are all your readers middle school students?"
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "Middle school students are just a part of it, there are also many adults. In these days, the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and more and more people have money and leisure. Many girls, after graduating from college, stay at home and enjoy the happiness and do not have children.
, I don’t do housework, and after a long time, I gradually withdraw from society, feel lonely and melancholy, lack a sense of security, and have strong emotional needs. Because of this, I like to read time-travel romance novels, which are both novel and comforting. And like those 996
Clerks are busy with endless things every day, so how can they have the time to read novels?"
Hong Qingni asked: "Qiuyun, when your TV series is filmed, will you drop out of school?"
"No. You have to get a bachelor's degree."
"That's right, you can change careers after graduation. There are more and more people taking inter-professional postgraduate entrance exams. I asked my former senior sister, if you graduate from the nursing major, you can take the exams for clinical medicine, public health, basic medicine, forensic medicine, medical humanities... and even philosophy
, Economics, Education, and maybe transfer to the School of Liberal Arts!"
Zhang Min said: "If you want to change departments, you don't have to graduate!"
Hong Qingni said: "I have to read it from the beginning and waste two years. It's impossible."
While the three of them were talking, someone outside delivered several letters. Most of them were addressed to Jiang Qiuyun. She glanced at them casually and threw them into the trash can.
These letters are not from readers, but love letters written by boys in the school and nearby schools.
In these days and months, how can any readers write letters? They all leave messages in the online book review section, and it’s okay if they don’t scold the author bloody.
When Jiang Qiuyun wrote the book, she used the pen name "Yun Ji", and few people knew her real name.
It's not that no one knows about it, because some time ago, a radio station revealed that a man and a woman escaped from the disaster. Someone found the escaped person named "Jiang Qiuyun", the author of "Bald Man Under the Lamp". But even so, they didn't
Know the school and dormitory where Jiang Qiuyun attends.
Zhang Min and Hong Qingni also received some letters and happily opened them to read, laughing while reading.
Jiang Qiuyun started to make an outline of the novel and could not write it until it was ready.
The so-called "putting pen down" actually means typing on the keyboard. There is no need for a pen or writing.
Typing on the keyboard is much faster than writing with a pen. Some people with fast hands can type 100,000 words a day. There is even a voice input method, which is even faster.
However, no matter how fast it is, the key is to have good content. Otherwise, if you write a bunch of bullshit, who will be willing to read it?
In addition to novels, Jiang Qiuyun also wants to write several novellas, which will be sent to "Harvest", "October" and "Flower City" respectively. She is not willing to be a pure online novel writer, and wants to occupy a place in physical books. In her
It seems that since her boyfriend Lu Cheng is so outstanding, she can't just be a salted fish, she has to show her true strength and fight hard.
