Back in the room, Wu Jianye brought Director Zhu's words to Dai Zhaoan.
When Dai Zhaoan heard this, he became energetic: "Old Wu, I heard that the jade here in Ruili is very cheap. There seems to be some gambling stones. Let's go and take a look?"
Wu Jianye didn't have any objections to this. Although he lost miserably in gambling on stones in his previous life, it didn't mean that he would shy away from jade. Besides, jade has not yet fully emerged in this era. If he could find one,
Two pieces of imperial green, emerald and jade are really copied.
However, Wu Jianye himself also knows that the possibility of this situation happening is almost zero. Although the jade market has not yet fully developed, jade of that level is still priceless.
"Then you clean up, let's go over now!" Wu Jianye said.
"No, I haven't had breakfast yet. It's not too late to go after breakfast!" Dai Zhaoan said excitedly.
Wu Jianye didn't want to wait for Dai Zhaoan to eat anymore, so he said: "What else are you eating? Maybe you missed a piece of imperial green while eating!"
When the two walked out of the guest house, Li Xiuming and others were already waiting at the door of the guest house. They had just made an appointment at the restaurant.
"Where should we go first?" Li Xiuming asked Wu Jianye habitually. Because of Wu Jianye's behavior on the train, everyone was used to asking Wu Jianye if they had any questions.
"It's half past eight in the morning. I just told you about the jade here in the restaurant. Let's go to the place where jade is sold. After ten o'clock, we will go to the department store to buy some daily necessities. At noon, I
Invite everyone to a meal. After dinner, we will go back to the guest house and set off!" Wu Jianye thought about the arrangement and said.
"good!"
When everyone heard that Wu Jianye invited him to lunch, they naturally became very excited.
A group of handsome men and beauties were walking on the street, and they immediately attracted countless eyes on the street. Many boys and girls wearing traditional Dai and Jingpo costumes looked at them and pointed, covered their mouths and chuckled.
Everyone didn't care. The boys walked side by side, while the girls walked hand in hand on the road. They also stopped to watch the strange things on the street.
In Ruili in October, the sky is clear and crisp. Although the leaves of some trees have begun to turn yellow due to the season, there are also some flowers and plants that bloom in this month, blooming with their vitality.
The breeze blowing on his face made Wu Jianye feel relaxed and happy. He wanted to keep this scene, but in this era, even Big Brother has not appeared in the country, let alone camera phones. As for the camera, Wu Jianye also forgot about it.
My classmates in the management school borrowed it, but actually even if I borrowed it, I might not be able to borrow it. That thing is really precious.
Suddenly there was a gust of fragrant wind next to Wu Jianye. He turned around and saw that Li Xiuming had left the girls' team and came to Wu Jianye's side.
"I have a camera in my hand. If you want to take pictures, I can lend it to you!" After Li Xiuming finished speaking, he took off his camera from around his neck.
Wu Jianye was not polite, "Thank you, I will take some more beautiful photos for you later!"
Li Xiuming smiled and said: "Thank you!"
With the camera, Wu Jianye naturally started taking pictures, beautiful scenery, pedestrians, street scenes... He recorded them all. What he had to worry about now was not that the camera's hard disk space was not enough, but that Li Xiuming had enough film.
not enough......
Several people came to the place where Ruili sold jade. Most of them were small stalls, and they were not large-scale. There was no way to compare with the large shopping malls of later generations.
However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. It has everything you need for buying finished products and woolen materials for gambling on stones. From time to time, you can see one or two foreigners or Hong Kong businessmen speaking Cantonese.
Some of them had translators, and some were bargaining with vendors in half-baked Mandarin. Wu Jianye looked at the translators and instantly thought of Johnson. He didn’t know how Johnson was doing now. Wu Jianye missed him...
.
The girls were naturally attracted by the polished jewelry, while Dai Zhaoan took Wu Jianye to the stone gambling stall, wanting to try his luck.
Wu Jianye did not dissuade him from his enthusiasm. Some things always require some losses to understand.
But the result was speechless.
"It's gone up, it's gone up!" As the crowd cheered, the first piece of wool Dai Zhaoan bought turned out to be jadeite.
Ice species!
Although Dai Zhaoan knew some information about stone gambling, it was impossible to tell him how detailed it was. However, listening to the voices around him, he knew that he must have made money this time.
"Old Wu, Old Wu, I'm so excited!" He grabbed Wu Jianye's arm and shouted excitedly.
At this time, the girls who were wandering around other stalls rushed over when they heard the sound.
Wu Jianye said helplessly: "Yes, it has gone up, but do you know what it means?"
Dai Zhaoan said loudly and proudly: "I don't know!"
"Sir, can you sell me this stone of yours?" At this moment, a female voice speaking half-baked Mandarin suddenly sounded in their ears.
Several people looked back and saw a Chinese woman wearing a brown windbreaker standing next to them, followed by several men in suits.
"Old Wu..." Dai Zhaoan had never seen such a battle before. The other party looked like a person with a great background. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it, and subconsciously looked at Wu Jianye.
.
The Chinese woman smiled slightly: "Sir, our family is in the jewelry business in Xiangjiang. We happened to see you cut out the jadeite. We want to buy it. I wonder if this gentleman is willing to part with it?"
Although the woman's words were very polite and did not sound domineering, Wu Jianye always felt that this woman had a sense of superiority and was looking down at them.
"Zheng family? Zhou family? Xie family? Yang family?" Wu Jianye looked at the woman and asked lightly.
When the woman heard Wu Jianye's question, she turned her eyes from Dai Zhaoan to Wu Jianye, showing curious eyes.
The four families Wu Jianye asked just now are the four major jewelry families in Xiangjiang, Chow Tai Fook of the Zheng family, Chow Sang Sang of the Zhou family, Xie Ruilin of the Xie family, and Jing Fook of the Yang family!
"Sir, is he also from Xiangjiang?" the woman asked curiously. After all, no one in China knows about the four major gold banks in Xiangjiang.
"No! People from Yanzhao." Wu Jianye smiled faintly.
The woman smiled and said: "This gentleman is really well-informed. My surname is Xie!"
Wu Jianye frowned slightly, after all, he still looked down on people in China.
"Old Wu, should we sell it?" Dai Zhaoan took Wu Jianye's arm and continued to ask.
Although he didn't like the other party's attitude, Wu Jianye didn't hinder Dai Zhaoan's chance to make a fortune, and asked calmly: "What's the price?"
"One thousand yuan!" the woman laughed.
When Dai Zhaoan heard about the one thousand yuan, he immediately agreed. This would have allowed him to move out of the alley in Shanghai.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said to Dai Zhaoan: "With the price of one thousand, you must have lost money. You have two choices for this stone. One is to keep moving it if you don't mind the weight, and the other is
Just look for several more, compare the prices, and choose the one with the highest price to sell."
Wu Jianye would not make a decision for Dai Zhaoan on this kind of matter. After all, whether the price was high or low, in the end, he might not be able to say the right thing. It would be better to tell him the value of this piece of wool and let him decide on his own.
