Huang Jianxiang saw Tang Xin's puzzled expression, and explained with a smile: "Brother, Minister Jiang and Editor-in-Chief Lin are my old friends. Yesterday when we were drinking tea together, they happened to hear me talk about your magical skills, and they were very interested, and asked me to bring them to see and see, and wanted to make a publicity for you on TV and in the provincial daily newspaper. ”

Tang Xin was startled, and subconsciously shook his hand and said, "Don't! To put it mildly, my skill belongs to strange powers and chaos, if it is publicized in newspapers and television, it will be terrifying." ”

Jiang Dongbin didn't quite believe Huang Jianxiang's words, but at this moment, seeing that Tang Xin's expression seemed to be a little flustered, and he was even more suspicious in his heart, he said bluntly: "Little brother, last night Chairman Huang told me and Editor-in-Chief Lin that you can see all the information stored on it from an item, and even have a perspective function.

"To be honest, I am a media person, and I have seen too many so-called qigong masters and strange people, but 99% of them are fake and deceitful. So, today Editor-in-Chief Lin and I want to put you to the test. If the test results prove that you do have that amazing skill, we will not hesitate to praise you and promote it on the provincial television station and the provincial daily newspaper. ”

As he spoke, he took out two pieces of jadeite rough from his backpack, placed them on the counter, and said, "The way to test them is very simple: after you observe and touch these two rough stones, please tell me where they were bought, is there any jadeite material in them, and if so, how many colors can be cut?"

Tang Xin nodded, then picked up the two stones and checked them in his hand, thought for a while, and replied: "Minister Jiang, these two rough stones were bought by you when you passed by the jade raw material trading market just now. The one on the left, you cost three thousand, and the one on the right, you cost five thousand—"

As soon as he said this, Jiang Dongbin and Editor-in-Chief Lin let out an "ah" at the same time, glanced at each other, and showed an incredible expression on their faces at the same time.

Jiang Dongbin barely controlled his surprise and asked quietly: "According to Mr. Tang, is there any material in these two rough stones? If so, how much can be cut?"

Tang Xin smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations to Minister Jiang." The rough stone you bought for 3,000 yuan does have material in it, and you can cut out about 0.1 kilograms of jadeite. Moreover, the jadeite in it is very bright green, and the water head is also good, so it can be sold for a good price. According to the current market, it is estimated that it can be sold for about 100,000 yuan. However, the other piece of jadeite, although the shell is beautiful, there is no material inside, it is a typical stepping stone, and you can discard it. ”

Jiang Dongbin and Editor-in-Chief Lin both looked at Tang Xin, with a suspicious expression on their faces.

Huang Jianli said with a smile: "Looking at the expressions of the two leaders, it seems that I am a little skeptical of my brother's conclusion. In this way, I will now go to Gu Xinzhai opposite to borrow a set of cutting tools, let's cut these two rough stones on the spot, and verify whether Brother Tang's judgment is accurate. ”

Jiang Dongbin nodded and said, "That's very good, I also have this idea." ”

Huang Jianli ran to Gu Xinzhai opposite, borrowed a set of jade cutting tools from Huang Zhixin, and carefully cut the two rough stones according to the cutting line drawn by Tang Xin.

As Tang Xin said: The rough stone that Jiang Dongbin bought for 5,000 yuan only had some intermittent green waterlines in it, and the "meat" and "skin" were mixed together, and there was no valuable jadeite material at all. However, in the rough stone bought for 3,000 yuan, 0.12 kilograms of green jadeite with good water color were cut, which made Jiang Dongbin overjoyed.

At this point, Jiang Dongbin and Editor Lin have admired Tang Xin so much that they can't stop praising him as a "god" and "master", which makes Tang Xin a little embarrassed......

After collecting the cut jade, Jiang Dongbin and Editor Lin whispered a few words, and then said to Tang Xin very attentively: "Master Tang, it's already more than eleven o'clock, we want to invite you to have lunch together, I don't know if the master appreciates his face?"

Tang Xin heard him keep claiming that he was "Master Tang", he felt weird, both numb and ugly, so he smiled and said to him: "Minister Jiang, you are older than me, you can call me Little Tang in the future, or call me brother, but please don't call me 'master', I don't deserve this title yet." ”

Jiang Dongbin said solemnly: "Master Tang is too modest! In my opinion, anyone who has real ability, real ability, and the ability to reach the peak in certain fields should be called a 'master'. You have such an amazing skill that no one can match in terms of treasure appreciation, and the status of 'master' is very appropriate. ”

Tang Xin smiled helplessly, no longer arguing with him about this topic, and said: "I made another appointment for dinner at noon, and I can't accompany the leaders, please understand!"

Jiang Dongbin and Editor Lin showed disappointed looks on their faces, looked at Huang Jianxiang with their eyes, and winked at him.

Huang Jianxiang understood, pulled Tang Xin into the inner room, and said in a low voice: "Brother, Minister Jiang and Editor Lin want to ask you for a favor, I hope you can agree." ”

"What's the busy?"

"Here's right: both of them love to gamble on stones, but they didn't have much luck and lost a lot of money. According to themselves, each of them owes more than a million dollars in debt—"

Tang Xin interrupted him in surprise and asked: "Minister Jiang and Editor-in-Chief Lin are both leaders of the media department, and they are cultural people, they have both fame and social status, how can they also gamble on stones?"

Huang Jianxiang smiled and said, "Brother, your view of cultural people may be a little too idealistic. To be honest, many cultural people actually have very poor self-control, and their desires in all aspects are also very strong, and they are always not satisfied with the status quo. For example, the two outside, the salary and benefits of the unit are very good, and the social status is relatively high, but they always complain that they can't make a fortune, and they always dream that after getting rich overnight, they can indulge in pleasure as much as they want. Therefore, it is not surprising that they are obsessed with gambling stones. ”

Tang Xin had already guessed what Jiang Dongbin and Editor-in-Chief Lin wanted to help him at this time, and asked, "Do they want me to help them gamble on stones?"

Huang Jianxiang nodded and said, "That's right." According to Jiang Dongbin, this afternoon, a big boss in the jade raw material trading market will bring back hundreds of tons of jadeite rough from the southwest border. Those who like to gamble on stones can choose any of those rough stones and determine the opening price of each rough stone according to the color presented on the shell.

Because of the huge debt, Jiang Dongbin and Editor-in-Chief Lin wanted to take a gamble at the end, each borrowed 200,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and prepared to go to the jade raw material trading market in the afternoon, and buy a few pieces of the hundreds of tons of rough stones that were newly shipped back and cut them on the spot. Therefore, when they confirm that you have this magical skill, they are eager to ask you to help them and make sure they don't lose money!"
