"Brother Qiao! Brother Qiao?" After looking at him for a long time, Qiao Busi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"ah?"
Only then did Qiao Meng react, and his whole attention returned to reality and he said sheepishly: "It's okay, it's okay, I was a little fascinated just now."
The three of them were speechless for a while. After staring at the stone for a long time, they were mesmerized. Even if it was a bit strange, they didn't know it. Those who didn't know thought something was wrong and suddenly fell asleep.
"You kid, have you figured out some clues again? I don't believe you can be so fascinated just by staring at this stone. I called you several times without even responding." Qiao Busi is now smarter.
, how could it be so easy to be fooled by him?
"No, it just happens after looking at the color for a long time. If you don't believe me, you can just keep looking at it and try it yourself." Qiao Meng continued to argue.
Knowing that it would not be so easy to come up with something, Qiao Busi stopped talking. His tricks were of no use to Qiao Meng, and he couldn't get out any useful information.
Now Qiao Meng has nothing to think about. He can only think about how to buy this piece of material safely and without attracting attention. It contains the dragon stone jade that almost everyone desires. To be precise,
It is half-grade, but this does not affect people's desire for it.
This dragon stone is a very rare type of jade. It is the only type of jade that grows in caves. It can be warm in winter and cool in summer. It is full of water and makes people feel like it is overflowing when they look at it. Its gloss is even more
Excellent.
It is the top type of jade, even one level higher than imperial green. It can be said to be a rare treasure that can only be seen in a hundred years in the entire canyon area. Because of its texture, it belongs to the quality of cold color. If you want to
It can be said to be extremely difficult to find, which is why its name comes from, which means it is as hard to find as looking for a divine dragon.
Its texture is as smooth and delicate as silk, extremely warm, radiant with fluorescence, and has no trace of cotton impurities. The four words "beady, round and jade-like" exactly describe the supreme state of this kind of jadeite.
The reason why the dragon stone in the piece of material Qiao Meng had was only half-grade was that it hadn't settled long enough. The original jade stone was still perfect when it was wrapped in sand and gravel.
However, over time, it became contaminated with impurities and degraded into defective products. However, due to being left for a long time after being excavated, its quality was slowly restored, and the sediments of impurities continued to surface.
Come.
That's why it has such an alternating red and white appearance. The red ones are the metal minerals that were originally attached to it.
It has not been completely separated yet, so it can only be regarded as half-grade, but it does not mean that it will always be half-grade. As soon as it is untied, as time goes by, the minerals attached to it will also detach.
That's when the real dragon stone seed appears.
If this piece of material is discovered by others, it is really difficult to take it away from here. It is very likely to be forced to sell it. After all, goods are being traded in other people's countries, even if it is very close to your own country.
But if others put pressure on him, Qiao Mengyi is not a government official, not a social celebrity, so he can only obey the order obediently.
Even if Qiao Meng has some tricks, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. This has been the hard truth from ancient times to the present.
It was because of this that Qiao Meng said nothing about the appraisal results when Qiao Busi asked. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't say it because he was afraid of causing trouble.
Pretending not to care, Qiao Meng went to Boss Zhang and asked, "Look, my friend likes this material better. I wonder if I can give you a reasonable price."
Qiao Meng was actually very nervous when he spoke, for fear of being seen as strange. This is how people are, when you know a secret, or know that you are doing something that others cannot know.
Even if someone doesn't know anything, you will be very nervous, because you will always feel that if he knows something, these psychological hints will always occur naturally when you are not paying attention.
"This piece, although it looks more fancy and has a thick skin, but I remember that when I bought it, it was made from an old pit, so the price can't be too low." Boss Zhang still follows the usual practice of taking steps back to make progress.
"Just tell me how much it is. I'll see how much is suitable and we can discuss it later." Qiao Meng said in a normal way of asking for a price.
"Three hundred thousand," Boss Zhang said bluntly.
"What?"
"Isn't this too expensive for you?" Yao Miaomiao said dissatisfied when she heard the quotation as soon as she came over.
Boss Zhang didn't care about so much. Knowing that it was the material that she and Ge Yuling were interested in, he didn't want to charge the price too low. How could such a good business opportunity be wasted? Although he wanted to have a good relationship with Qiao Meng and use him to expand his reputation.
, but this is not given temporarily. It is better to take the money now. Plans can always only be plans.
After feeling that his price was definitely OK, Boss Zhang said: "This is really not expensive. The price is very fair. If someone else came to buy it for 500,000 yuan, I would dare to ask for it."
At this time, Qiao Meng thought and knew that Boss Zhang wanted to make more money by taking advantage of the fact that he would buy girls what they wanted and didn't mind spending more money, so why not just follow the trend.
These hundreds of thousands are nothing. As long as you get this piece of dragon stone jade, it is equivalent to making tens of millions. Of course, you have to wait until the product is finished, which will take three or four years.
But now he must get this piece of material. Qiao Meng pulled Ge Yuling and Yao Miaomiao aside and said softly: "Later, no matter what, you must insist on me buying this piece for you."
Shitou, you have to act like you want me to buy it before I buy it, you know?"
"Why? It's obviously not cost-effective." Yao Miaomiao didn't think too much, she just thought it was unreasonable and raised the question.
"Don't ask yet. We will go back to the hotel after we buy it. I will explain it to you then. Believe me, you will definitely be surprised." Qiao Meng didn't want to cause trouble now, so he asked Yao Miaomiao to restrain himself first.
own curiosity.
In comparison, Ge Yuling seems more mature. The first thing that comes to mind is not why Qiao Meng did what he did, but how to cooperate to complete what he is going to do next. As for other curious content, we can ask about it later.
It’s not like Qiao Meng won’t say anything.
Qiao Meng appreciates this very much. A woman like Ge Yuling would have been a strong contender for the queen in ancient times. She is decisive, calm and alert, and generally does not make any mistakes. The only shortcoming is that she is not cruel enough. This is
The disadvantages of most girls are also advantages.
Returning to Boss Zhang, Qiao Meng said: "Three hundred thousand is indeed a bit high. According to the rules of the industry, it can't be sold at this price."
"Brother Qiao, I'm not telling you that you can't tell what's inside this piece of material, but the material is indeed a genuine old-timer. Looking at the red and white colors on the surface, I can't believe that it can have such a strange performance.
It will be very ordinary, I am already very sincere." Boss Zhang immediately decided that the price would not be changed.
Qiao Meng turned around and asked the two women, "Do you really like this stone and want me to buy it?"
"Well...I, I really like it, so why don't you buy it for me..." Yao Miaomiao was a little out of touch at first, but she soon got into the mood.
"Qiao Meng, since you don't lack the money, why don't you just buy it this time?" Ge Yuling also used her strength to show off, and even saved Qiao Meng's arm. The softness shocked Qiao Meng's body.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"I didn't expect such a good thing to happen." Qiao Meng blurted out something. Although the voice was not loud, Yao Miaomiao heard it, so she reluctantly leaned forward to compete with him.
I never expected that such a scene would happen. As they were acting, the two of them started to get serious. It was not in the script, but it was one thing to think so, and another thing to enjoy the body. Qiao
Meng still couldn't help but fantasize about some indescribable scenes in his mind, and for a moment he seemed to be back to the awkward meeting with Ge Yuling that morning.
Seeing this scene, the men around him were so angry that they would be handed out dog food whenever they came to gamble on stones. It was double yellow. They couldn't bear it. Many people wanted to come up and beat Qiao violently.
.
If it weren't for the rules on site not to attack others, we would have started fighting.
But this scene was just right. Boss Zhang thought in his heart that he was sure of it, but he didn't know that now he had really fallen into Qiao Meng's design. Now no one would notice the true value of this stone.
"How about it, little brother Qiao, I see that these two beauties like each other so much, so stop being so pretentious. It looks like you don't only have this little money." Boss Zhang continued his drama of fanning the flames.
After pretending to hesitate for a while, Qiao Meng said: "Okay, Boss Zhang, then help me pack the previous piece of material."
"Hey, isn't that right? Men should be heroic." Boss Zhang laughed.
It is very convenient to put this piece of dragon stone and the previous glass and gold wire seeds into a cowhide backpack and pack it up. Qiao Meng swiped the card calmly and paid the money, and happily carried it.
Pick up these two pieces of material and leave.
Although Qiao Busi didn't know why Qiao Meng had to leave in such a hurry, it seemed like there was definitely something good going on, so he didn't stay much and followed behind when he and Uncle Zhang arrived separately.
The four of them walked all the way to the place where the materials had been stored, handed over their number tags, received them, and left without saying a word. Qiao didn't want to drive, so they headed straight to the hotel.
"Brother Qiao, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"Let's talk when we get to the hotel." When he didn't get an answer, Qiao Busi had to speed up and returned to the hotel five minutes faster than before.
The four of them all came to Qiao Meng's room, and the most curious one was Qiao Busi, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Listen carefully, don't spread the word, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Qiao Meng said solemnly. "
"You know, tell me now." Qiao Busi couldn't wait any longer.
"This piece of material contains dragon stone seeds!" Qiao Meng said word by word.
"What!" Except for Ge Yuling, Yao Miaomiao and Qiao Busi all exclaimed loudly.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely, definitely!" Qiao Meng said without thinking.
