Qian Ming polished the piece of agarwood and taught Hao Ren, Chen Yao and the others.
After grinding a pound of agarwood, which was actually not much, Qian Ming put it in a delicate glass box.
Hao Ren looked at other things. Qian Ming's treasure room contained not only wood, but also some calligraphy and paintings, and jadeite.
"These calligraphy and paintings are all from modern masters, and they are not very valuable."
Qian Ming said with a smile.
Of course, in his eyes, it's not that valuable, but in the eyes of many people, it's still valuable.
"This is the jade I cut out when I went to Myanmar to play with stones. The quality is pretty good and I was lucky. I only spent one million to buy the stone at that time, and the jade cut out is worth about three million."
Qian Ming pointed to a piece of jade on the shelf and said with a smile, his tone somewhat proud.
"Cut out of stone, could it be the gambling stone mentioned on the Internet?"
Hao Ren was a little surprised and said, "I heard that this thing is like heaven with one knife and hell with one knife. Some people may lose their money if they cut a piece of it."
Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen a pig running.
"It can be said that the gambling nature of this thing is too strong. At that time, I just thought of playing it casually, regardless of whether it can be cut out or not. I was lucky, and I cut out jadeite from the first piece."
Qian Ming said with some emotion, "I was tempted to continue playing, but luckily I slapped myself to stop my greed."
"Keep playing, I'll probably go bankrupt now."
Hao Ren was a little surprised, "I'll go and have a look if I have the chance."
Gambling on stones, even though I don’t understand it, trying it myself is a novel experience.
Chen Yao and Hao Yue both looked at everything in the treasure room with some emotion in their hearts.
Coming out of Qian Ming's treasure room, Hao Ren took the agarwood and was about to leave. Qian Ming took out five bracelets with a smile.
"Brother, there is nothing very good here. I hired a craftsman to carefully make these five bracelets. They are all made of the best small leaf red sandalwood. Just think of them as my gift to my brother."
Looking at the bracelets in his hands, Hao Ren's eyes flashed. These bracelets should be worth a lot of money, at least tens of thousands per bracelet.
"Thank you very much, Brother Qian."
Hao Ren said with a smile.
It's friendship that comes and goes.
After leaving Qian Ming's house, Hao Ren and others returned home. Hao Ren said with a smile, "Give these two bracelets to your parents. I guess you don't need them, Chen Yao."
Although this bracelet is good, it is obviously not suitable for young people.
The remaining three strings are put away and given to others as gifts later.
Chen Yao smiled and nodded.
"I see that they all have collections. It seems that we don't have anything at home. It feels a bit shabby. Do you think we should collect some good things?"
Sitting on the sofa, Hao Ren looked at Chen Yao beside him, rubbed his chin, and asked thoughtfully.
Heritage is not only reflected in money, precious collections are also a very important aspect.
For example, some ancient literati's calligraphy and antique porcelain cannot be bought just by having money.
It is also a symbol of status.
Chen Yao thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's necessary. Let's expand the company first. When our assets reach tens of billions, it will be easier to collect these treasures. After all, these things are not cheap. Just one
That’s millions and millions.”
Now Hao Ren's personal assets are only about one billion. If he collects all the treasures, he probably won't be able to collect much.
The younger sister also nodded, "I feel like those things are just showy, brother, you can't be fooled."
Anyway, in her opinion, real money is money, and all calligraphy, paintings, and antiques are fake.
It can't be eaten as food.
Daniel was helpless and scratched his head, "I don't know what's so good about those things. I feel they are not as useful as the tools in our village."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Well, since you all don't agree, forget it and let's talk about it when we meet again."
Different places have different stories playing out.
At Xu Yujia's house, her parents were a little surprised because Xu Yujia took out a house purchase contract and the homeowner was Xu Yujia.
"How much money do you make now? Can you buy such a nice house?"
Hearing her parents' questions, Xu Yujia smiled proudly, "What does this mean? My year-end bonus this year alone is half a million. By the way, I also won the car outside by drawing a lottery at the company's annual meeting.
"
"It seems that the company you are working in is really good. It is much better than being a model before you. Then you have to work hard and not take so much money from the company in vain."
Both of them were a little happy and did not doubt Xu Yujia's strength at all. They smiled and ordered.
Xu Yujia nodded and said coquettishly, "I understand."
"By the way, I remember that your friend came to pick you up before. How are you doing now?"
Suddenly, Xu Yujia's mother remembered something and asked curiously.
Xu Yujia smiled and said, "He is my boss now. What do you think our relationship is?"
Hearing this, both of them were a little surprised, but also a little enlightened. Her father smiled and said, "Come, Xiaojia, tell dad about your boss..."
Her mother also had a gossipy expression on her face.
…
In an orphanage, Qin Wen stayed with a group of children, as well as the director's grandmother.
"Grandma, my company is doing great now, and my boss treats me well and gives me tens of thousands every month."
Qin Wen looked at a group of children distributing the gifts she had brought, and chatted with the dean next to her with a smile.
The dean was about fifty or sixty years old and looked at him with a smile on his face.
She could tell that Qin Wen was not lying to her. It seemed that her boss was indeed very kind to her, and his words were filled with admiration.
"It seems that the little mosquito in our house has grown up and is in love. But I see that you admire your boss so much. It would be a good thing for you to be together."
The dean said in a soft voice.
Qin Wen's face turned red and she said calmly, "Grandma, what are you talking about? The boss has a girlfriend, and Sister Yu Jia also likes the boss..."
Although she is simple, she is not stupid. After living with Sister Yujia for so long, she naturally understands the relationship between Xu Yujia and her boss.
"Silly boy, this is not the case here. When you encounter good things, you give them to others. That is a matter of your own happiness in your life. Since you like it, you must hold on to it. Others also like it. Doesn't this prove that you have not seen it?
That’s wrong.”
The dean's grandmother touched Qin Wen's little head and said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, Qin Wen lowered her head, "But I'm not pretty either. I can't compare to them at all..."
"Silly girl, who said you have to be better than your appearance? Grandma knew before that you are a genius. In this society, talent is sometimes more important than appearance."
The dean smiled and said, "Besides, who says you're not beautiful? You just don't know how to dress up. If you dress up a little, you'll look better than many so-called beauties."
Qin Wen was a little moved, but still a little hesitant. The dean patiently spoke to Qin Wen in a low voice, seeming to be communicating something...
In a villa in Liuzhou City, Qu Shan looked at her daughter who was watching TV, sitting on the balcony and reading a book leisurely.
The warm sunshine shining on herself made her extremely relaxed.
"It's another new year, and I'm looking forward to where this company can go..."
…
In Xia Song's home, the family was sitting together, and Xia Qingqing was playing with her mobile phone.
"Qingqing, you are about to start your internship. Have you decided which company you want to go to?"
Xia Song asked.
As a top student at Yenching University, he was already being recruited by numerous companies even before he graduated.
"If you ask me, it's better to go to those Internet companies and high-tech companies. Such companies can train people."
Hearing this, Xia Qingqing raised her head and smiled, "A company contacted me before, but I'm thinking about it recently. Dad, what do you think, if I go to Shinhwa Company for an internship?"
Hearing this, Xia Song was stunned. This time he did not refuse directly, but thought about it carefully and said, "The Shinhwa Company is good, but it is still too small at present, and it is only in one city, which does not allow you to have an international perspective.
.”
"In a large company, you encounter more challenges, learn more, and have more outstanding people than at Shinhwa Company."
Xia Song still wants his precious daughter to go to a big company. Only when there is no other way, Shinhwa Company is the first choice.
Xia Qingqing nodded, neither refusing nor agreeing, "Then I understand."
"By the way, I have a class reunion today. I'll be out soon, so you don't have to cook for me."
…
In Magic City, Guan Le's family gathered together lively, ate hot meals, and then drove to the amusement park...
In Fushan City, Lu Sisi was immersed in the singing studio at home, composing her own songs.
…
Snowflakes continued to fall, accumulating a thick layer in the community, and a layer also accumulated on the ground in the manor.
Hao Ren and Chen Yao were sitting on the balcony on the fourth floor, looking at the falling snowflakes outside. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, they could overlook the entire yard, even the scene outside.
They were all wearing pajamas, sitting lazily on chairs. There was a small wooden table next to them, with a pot of tea and two teacups on it.
In the past few days, Hao Ren has become familiar with the owners in the community. A group of bosses either go out to sing or have dinner together.
The relationship skyrocketed.
Chen Yao looked at the snowflakes outside, emitting silver light in the sun, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Come with me to Uncle Jiang's house today, and take a look at Xiao Tongtong. She told me she missed you before."
Hao Ren said with a smile.
Chen Yao came back to her senses and nodded, "I haven't seen Jiang Tong for a long time. Do you need anything?"
"You don't need anything, just get some vegetables, fruits, and two boxes of milk."
Hao Ren said that as a government employee, he would not dare to give it away even if he had money.
Chen Yao nodded, "Then I'll bring Lele with me. Xiao Tongtong hasn't seen Lele for a long time."
At night, at Jiang Guohua's house, Hao Ren knocked on the door with "dong" and "dong".
Wang Yue opened the door and saw Hao Ren. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, "It turns out it's Xiaoren and Yaoyao. Come on, come in quickly."
Seeing them bringing gifts, he said angrily, "Come here, what gifts are you bringing?"
But it didn't look like a precious gift, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I'd need to eat these things soon anyway.
"Brother Hao Ren, sister Chen Yao, ah, Lele is here too."
Jiang Tong was watching animation. When she saw Hao Ren, Chen Yao quickly shouted, but when she saw Lele, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Lele's eyes, but Hao Ren agreed to go back and give it a bag of elf hearts, so it reluctantly agreed and played with the little guy.
Jiang Guohua was reading a book. He looked up at Hao Ren and said with a smile, "Here you go, sit down quickly."
Hao Ren and Chen Yao came in and sat on the sofa. Chen Yao smiled and said to Jiang Tong, "Xiaotong, do you miss your sister?"
Jiang Tong immediately fell into Chen Yao's arms and said with a smile, "Sister Yaoyao, I miss you so much."
Chen Yao took out a gift from her pocket, which was a mini music box.
It wasn't expensive, costing several hundred yuan. Knowing Jiang Guohua's special status, Chen Yao didn't buy too expensive a gift.
"My sister gave this to you, do you like it?"
When the music box was opened, the crisp ringtone sounded, which made Jiang Tong unable to put it down.
