Speaking of the profession of picking up leaks, Zhou Zichen got his start in picking up leaks. Of course he knew the details behind it. His behavior was abnormal, and there must be something he was hiding from him.
"Boss, tell me, what's wrong with this stone?"
Zhou Zichen put his hand on the fifty kilograms of rough stone and felt nothing special.
"Ahem... I tried to solve this stone, but the quality was not very good. The piece I gave you before was the one with the best quality."
The stall owner coughed twice in embarrassment, but he was sincere and did not lie to Zhou Zichen.
He tried to decipher this rough stone himself, but the quality was not very good. Although it was big, who knew if there was anything inside?
Zhou Zichen's eyes became extraordinarily clear, and he could see the situation inside through his supernatural powers. Although the man was damaged a little with one knife, it was not important because he did not touch the most important part inside.
"Okay, I'll take it, but the price must be lower, otherwise no one will take it if you sell it as window material."
Zhou Zichen was telling the truth. The weight of fifty kilograms is not light, and this rough stone has no purchase value in terms of appearance or opening.
It's just that Zhou Zichen's eyes have special powers and he can see what's going on inside. There are a few scattered pieces of jade hidden inside. It's not a good variety, but it's better in weight.
"Can you tell me a price?" The stall owner also knows that such a large stone is basically useless and no one wants it as marble, so as long as the price is about the same, he will sell it.
"I'll take the fifty thousand yuan, otherwise we won't have to talk." Zhou Zichen held out five fingers. He was a businessman, so of course he wanted to maximize his profits.
The street stall owner will definitely not want it. Fifty kilograms of stuff costs 50,000 yuan, but one gram only costs two yuan?
But because this stone was too big, he bought it blindly when he didn't know much about it. He kept it at home and couldn't bear to throw it away, so he could only cut it up and play with it while he was free.
In the end, he tried opening several holes but didn't taste any benefit, so he just took two yuan off and sold them as rough stones. Later he met Zhou Zichen, and he estimated that he could sell it for more than 100,000, but Zhou Zichen came up and lowered the price.
He was so cruel that for a while he didn't know whether to sell it or not.
"Don't hesitate, who knows this, right? Master Fan!" Zhou Zichen pointed at Fan Yi and then said: "Master Fan needs stones to practice recently. You also know that there are some things that you can't do, so you can keep them.
If you keep it, you might as well sell it to save face."
Zhou Zichen's meaning is very obvious, just move Fan Yi out. You can't do what Fan Yi can do. What does Fan Yi's house do? It specializes in selling antique jade. He has a professional team that can break down these things and then sell them.
But you can't. If you keep it, you'll keep it. If you sell it, you won't even make a profit. Even if you lose money, you won't lose much.
The street stall owner's face changed one after another. He was considering whether to sell it or not. The stone didn't cost much at first. Speaking of 50,000 yuan, he still made a profit. Just like Zhou Zichen said, he could give it away if he sold it.
It's a smooth relationship, maybe we can hook up with the Fan family in the future?
"Okay, since Master Fan needs it, just fifty thousand!"
Finally, the stall owner gritted his teeth and agreed to Zhou Zichen's proposal.
Zhou Zichen also smiled when he heard this. If the stall owner could go straight to the center of this rough stone, he would find that the nutrients of the surrounding things are actually absorbed by the jade in the middle, but there is nothing visible from the side.
, Zhou Zichen also relied on his mutated eyes to see it.
"Then please help us load the car." Zhou Zichen said a few words and followed Fan Yi out.
The street stall owner packed up his things and drove out. Only the people setting up small street stalls could drive in, otherwise they couldn't carry their things and run around every day, right?
"Brother Zhou, are you sure you can do it?"
Fan Yi was a little worried. What good things can he buy with fifty thousand yuan? Although what he wants is grades, grades can also be divided into good and bad!
If Zhou Zichen finally made a thousand dollars, how could he not be ashamed of himself?
"Don't worry, Brother Fan, there's never anything I like that's worthless." Zhou Zichen smiled slightly, knowing Fan Yi's troubles. As long as Fan Yi listens to him, he can earn at least half a million yuan.
Fifty thousand for half a million. If Fan Yi can find a master carver, the price may be doubled several times.
Fan Yi nodded doubtfully. It depends on this time whether he can regain some face for his family.
"Hey! Isn't this my eldest brother? Why are you here?"
Zhou Zichen and Fan Yigang had just walked to the street when they heard a strange voice coming from the door of the shop next to them.
A young man in a suit and leather shoes, with gold-rimmed glasses on his face, stood at the door of the jade shop, looking at Fan Yi with his arms folded.
"Fan Jian?" Fan Yi's eyelids twitched. The man in front of him was his third brother, and he had not dealt with him since he was a child.
Zhou Zichen glanced at Fan Yi in surprise, how could he curse so well?
"Brother, it's not a good habit to call someone by his first name. Can't you do it like me?"
Fan Jian's expression changed. He was not the one who named him. He had never thought of changing his name, but his old man never allowed it, so he didn't mention it again.
After listening to Fan Jian's words, Zhou Zichen realized that Fan Yi was calling his name, but the name was really interesting.
"Hmph! I don't have time to listen to your chatter, brother Zhou, let's go!"
Fan Yi snorted coldly. This Fan Jian has been very cunning since he was a child. He colluded with his second brother and often caused trouble for him.
Ever since Fan Yi's father became ill, these two people would come to trouble Fan Yi every once in a while, but Fan Yi regarded them as brothers and never had a direct conflict.
Moreover, the Fan family's business is in the hands of Fan Yi's father. Fan Yi's other two uncles are thinking about making their son the next head of the family. As for Fan Yi, they don't pay attention at all.
"Brother, at today's family meeting, we have all prepared gifts for our respective parents. I hope that eldest brother will not take random things from home to fool us again this time!"
Zhou Zichen had not taken two steps after Fan Yi when Fan Jian spoke again.
Zhou Zichen obviously paused when he saw Fan Yi's steps, but he still didn't say a word and walked outside.
"Brother Fan, is this your cousin?"
Zhou Zichen didn't know Fan Jian, but he could tell from the title that this was one of his younger brothers with whom he had a bad relationship.
"Well, I'm the third oldest. I don't have any big skills, but I have a lot of cleverness." Fan Yi commented on Fan Jian for a reason. Every time Fan Yi suffered a loss, it was Fan Jian who planned it.
Zhou Zichen nodded. It seemed that the relationship between Fan Yi and his brothers was not very good. He couldn't say anything more about this kind of thing.
"Boss, can you put the trunk in the trunk?" The stall owner drove his van to a stop beside Zhou Zichen and asked, lowering the window.
"Well, Xiaohua, open the trunk!" Zhou Zichen shouted to Xiaohua sitting in the car.
After putting the fifty kilograms of rough stones into the trunk, Fan Yi drove back.
Fan Jian saw the whole process of them moving things and took out his mobile phone to call his second brother.
"Second brother, that silly boy Fan Yi bought a big stone from somewhere. It can't be a good thing, right?" Fan Jian said to the other end of the phone.
"With his great eyesight, what good things can he come up with? Have you prepared anything? We will watch our performance at noon today." The voice on the other end of the phone was a little cold. This person was Fan Yi's second brother, Fan Lun.
"Get ready, you won't be able to piss them off when the time comes!"
"Okay, let's do this first."
…………
It was almost noon when Fan Yi and the others returned, and the servants were all busy going back and forth in the backyard and front yard.
Today is the Fan family's family meeting, which is held at the house of Fan Deyuan, the current head of the Fan family, so it is particularly lively today.
"Brother Fan, I just heard that gifts are being prepared. What have you prepared?"
Zhou Zichen suddenly remembered that Fan Jian said he would prepare gifts before. Could it be that Fan Yi didn't even prepare these things?
"It's just jade and antiques. Just pick two pieces and it's enough."
Fan Yi didn't care about this. His two younger brothers wouldn't give anything valuable to his family anyway, so why should he go to such trouble?
"No, didn't your third brother say you can't just choose?" Zhou Zichen frowned, and it sounded like Fan Jian meant that Fan Yi had done this kind of thing before.
"Don't mention it. What I gave them last year were the things they brought to me the year before last. I just came back from betting on racing, so I just grabbed two of them and went over..."
Fan Yi felt a little depressed when he mentioned this. It was just a formality, but he screwed it up. Fan Deyuan scolded him a lot afterwards.
Zhou Zichen was speechless for a while. He was right to say that Fan Yi was careless. Things like this could go wrong.
"By the way, does Brother Fan have a stone-breaking machine at home?"
Of course Zhou Zichen has not forgotten the rough stone. Since Fan Yi's family sells antiques, there should be such things, right?
Fan Yi thought for a while and said: "There is our family's workshop next to it, shall we go there now?"
"The family meeting will start soon, right? It's definitely too late for us to go there now. I'll mark it, and Brother Fan can just find someone to interpret it according to my requirements."
Zhou Zichen waved his hand, the family meeting was a serious matter, Fan Yi must not be anxious anymore, what if the previous things were given away again this year?
After Zhou Zichen made the mark, Fan Yi's contact person came over and took the fifty kilograms of rough stone away. Although he didn't know why Zhou Zichen was so sure that something good would come out, it was hard to say when he saw that Zhou Zichen was so confident.
What.
If there is nothing in the end, it doesn't matter. Fan Yi doesn't expect to turn around by relying on this.
"Brother Fan, don't you invite others to the family gathering?"
Zhou Zichen was a little curious. It was already noon, but the door was still deserted. No one came to congratulate him, which was a bit strange.
"My dad doesn't like to be high-profile, so every time it's the direct relatives of the Fan family who come. As for outsiders, in my impression, only my grandpa entertained him when he was here," Fan Yi replied.
Zhou Zichen nodded thoughtfully. Fan Yi and his father's personalities were similar in some aspects, and they didn't have the habit of showing off.
Zhou Zichen and Fan Yi are waiting at the door to pick someone up. This is a matter of etiquette.
"My dear nephew, how is your father's health lately?"
Finally, they ushered in the first person, who I heard should be Fan Yi's uncle. This person was dressed in a black suit and slowly walked out of the back seat of a luxury car.
"My father is in good health. Thank you for your concern, uncle!" Fan Yi's voice contained no emotion. As for what he was thinking, only he himself knows.
