Chapter 23: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
The birth of a carving master is not only a grand event in the carving world, but also the glory of the whole country, even Zhang Li is full of excitement, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to Wu Lao for becoming a carving master." ”
Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, "Congratulations, Master." ”
Wu Lao smiled and waved his hand, then grabbed Lin Yun's arm instead, and said solemnly: "Lin Yun, your carving talent is not under me, in just half a month, you can become a master carving and become a grandmaster just around the corner." ”
"There's nothing I can teach you now, and if you want to go further, you have to rely on yourself to understand. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, and the whole person was indescribably relaxed and comfortable.
After twenty-eight years, he finally broke through and became a carving master, of course, all thanks to Lin Yun, it was Lin Yun's carving that inspired him to break through in an instant.
However, this is also inseparable from his carving talent, if it weren't for years of honing, he wouldn't have broken through so quickly.
And Zhang Li was full of excitement at this moment, and he was happier than winning the lottery.
He seemed to have seen that in the near future, he would have two carving masters, and even a super stone gambling master, crisscrossing the entire jade world and meeting opponents.
It took Zhang Li a long time to react, and hurriedly said hello to Lin Yun, "Mr. Lin, congratulations on becoming a master carver." ”
He used to be called a brother, but now he unconsciously used an honorific title, because of Lin Yun's identity, he deserves this title.
"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite, I have to thank you for speaking of which, if you hadn't introduced such a good master to me, I wouldn't be where I am today. Lin Yun's face was full of sincerity.
He has always been gracious, and now although he has become a master carver, he will not forget Zhang Li's kindness.
Zhang Li wanted to continue talking, but at this moment, Lin Yun's mobile phone rang, and it was Zhou Ji calling.
Zhou Ji is not bad, and even in a certain sense, he helped Lin Yun a lot, but because of his short-sightedness, the two could not continue to cooperate, but Lin Yun said before that Zhou Ji could call him if he had something, so he immediately picked it up.
"Brother Lin, I'm really embarrassed, I can't help it, so I called you, please help me. Zhou Ji was very embarrassed, and he regretted it even more in his heart, if he hadn't been misunderstood by Shen Lin and misunderstood Lin Yun by preconceived ideas, how could he still have such trouble.
"Mr. Zhou, tell me what is the matter first, I'll see if I can help. ”
The phone calls have been made, and Zhou Ji is no longer entangled, and immediately told the matter.
It turned out that in the past few days, one of his opponents invited a gambling stone master, and killed a few in and out of his gambling stone workshop, and the other party's gambling stone level was very high, and almost every piece could be cut out and rise.
It's just that after cutting out two or three pieces, the other party will change to a gambling stone workshop, and the gambling stone shop that has been patronized by the other party can only be reluctantly closed.
Because such masters appear, after choosing a good stone in the gambling stone workshop, but no longer continue to choose, everyone will think that this gambling stone workshop will never be a good stone again, and naturally no one will cut the stone in it.
In just half a month, Zhou Ji has closed down eight gambling stone shops, and if this continues, his business in Gambling Stone Street will all be closed.
He was also forced to have no choice, so he asked Lin Yun for help, as long as he drove these people away, his business could still continue.
For Zhou Ji to speak, it must be a matter of gambling stones, Lin Yun has already guessed, but at this moment, he can only look at Zhang Li.
Anyway, he is Zhang Li's chief stone appraiser, but now he is helping others to identify stones, so he naturally has to ask Zhang Li's consent.
He originally thought that if Zhang Li didn't agree, he could compromise and give Zhang Li some benefits.
Before he could speak, Zhang Li said cheerfully: "Mr. Lin, there is an employment relationship between us, but I also said before that I will only ask you to help me if I have a stone that I can't see." ”
"The rest of the time you're completely free, and whatever you do, I won't mind. ”
Zhang Li said such a thing, but if it was in normal times, Lin Yun went to help Zhou Ji gamble on stones, even if he didn't say it on the surface, he would definitely have opinions in his heart, but at this moment, he was sincere.
Because the current Lin Yun can no longer look at it with his previous gaze, even if it is him, he has to be careful to stutter, and naturally he will not restrict Lin Yun too much.
You must know that a master carver, coupled with the identity of a master of gambling stones, can eat very well wherever he goes, and he doesn't care about the money he gives.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Lin Yun was immediately overjoyed, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Li, he drove to find Zhou Ji.
As soon as he left, Wu Lao came back this time, looked at Zhang Li and asked in surprise: "Such a baby, you are willing to let go so easily?"
Zhang Li sighed helplessly and said, "I don't want to either, but what can I do? Mr. Lin's ability is too outstanding, if he only relies on money to bind him, he will definitely leave me in the future." ”
"But if it's a cooperation, it's different, I help him realize his dream, will he forget me when he makes money in the future?" Although he was sighing, his words revealed a deep plan.
Wu Lao was also stunned when he heard this, and finally left only one sentence, "If a person like you doesn't make money, it's really unreasonable." ”
Zhang Li just smiled, but didn't say anything, this is the experience he summed up in the mall.
On the other side, Lin Yun drove to the downstairs of Zhou Ji's company, and saw that Zhou Ji was already waiting, and as soon as they met, he said excitedly: "Brother Lin, thank you for your kindness, you can use my old Zhou in the future, despite the squeak, if I squeak, I won't be a man." ”
"Mr. Zhou, what you said is out of sight, I promised you a long time ago, and now I naturally won't regret it, let's go, let's go and have a look first." ”
"Good, good. Zhou Ji nodded, and took Lin Yun into his car.
Gambling Stone Street, the shops on the entire street, are gambling stone shops.
Zhou Jicai is so powerful that he occupies half of the street, but at this time, his shop is very depressed, several of them have closed, and although the remaining ones are lively, Zhou Ji is not happy at all.
If I'm not mistaken, the opponent will visit the next gambling stone shop today, and by the time the opponent is done, all his shops will have to close.
Lin Yun already knew everything, but he didn't rush to get out of the car, so he waited in the car with Zhou Ji.
After about half an hour, Zhou Jimeng sat up straight and said with an ugly face: "They are here." ”
Following his gaze, he saw a group of three people, led by an old man, about sixty years old, followed by a charming woman.
The woman was good-looking, and her figure was particularly attractive, even when she was walking, her body was attached to the old man's body.
Obviously, Zhou Ji's opponent used a beauty trick.
Behind the two, there was a middle-aged man, wearing a crisp suit, with a hooked nose that was particularly prominent.
His name is Zhao Qianli, and he and Zhou Ji have been rivals for many years, and the two have been competing against each other in business, and now that they have an opportunity, they naturally want to suppress Zhou Ji.
As for the old man, his name is Zhong Changming, he is a member of the Zhong family of the gambling stone family, the gambling stone technology is very superb, and he was extremely famous in the gambling stone industry in the early years.
It took a lot of effort for Zhao Qianli to find out that Zhong Changming was lustful, but it took a lot of money to cultivate the woman next to him, and finally asked Zhong Changming to make a move.
On the one hand, it is to suppress Zhou Ji, and on the other hand, it is to earn money for himself.
And Zhong Changming did not disappoint him, in just this half a month, he made hundreds of millions, and Zhou Ji's gambling stone workshop was closed, and the long-term benefits could not be measured.
The purpose of the three of them was very clear, and they walked directly to Zhou Ji's gambling stone workshop, and stepped in.
Zhou Ji's face was ugly, and he wanted to drive people away, but he opened the door to do business, so naturally he couldn't do this, so he could only look at Lin Yun helplessly and said, "Brother Lin, I can only trouble you next." ”
"Don't worry, it will definitely give you a satisfactory result. Lin Yun's face was full of confidence, and then he got out of the car.
His gambling stone skills are already good, plus there is perspective, you can directly see the things inside the stone, if you really want to talk about gambling stones, who is worthy of being his opponent?
Zhou Ji was worried that it would arouse Zhao Qianli's vigilance, so he didn't follow, just waited outside.
After Lin Yun entered the gambling stone workshop, he has been following Zhao Qianli, wanting to see Zhong Changming's gambling stone technology, knowing that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Zhao Qianli's purpose is very clear, that is, to bring down Zhou Ji's gambling stone workshop, so as soon as he entered the door, he said to Zhong Changming: "Zhong Lao, it's up to you next." ”
Zhong Changming's eyes were always on the woman, and when he heard Zhao Qianli's words, he raised his head and said casually: "Don't worry, this matter is on me." ”
As he spoke, he slapped the woman's ass twice, and then he was satisfied to choose the stone.
Zhong Changming's eyes were vicious, and he could make a rough judgment almost at a glance, he took a turn in the casino, and quickly picked out three stones, and after Zhao Qianli paid the bill, he directly began to cut stones.
"The old man really has two brushes. Seeing the three stones that Zhong Changming had chosen, Lin Yun couldn't help but sigh.
It is said that there is no vanity under the fame, and this is true.
Zhong Changming picked three stones, which can almost be said to be the most valuable in the entire gambling stone workshop, and these three stones are cut out, and it may not be impossible to say that the gambling stone workshop has no value of gambling stones.
It's just that there are exceptions to everything, and when they met Lin Yun, they deserved to be unlucky.
Just when Lin Yun was thinking about things, the stone had already begun to be cut over there.
"Damn, it's green, and it's still ice, it's going to rise sharply. ”
As soon as the stone was cut, the person next to him exclaimed, because from the cut opening, a touch of ice seed green had been seen, judging from experience, it was at least the size of a fist, and the market value was more than two million.
And the price of this rough stone is only 500,000 yuan, which has quadrupled, which is already very valuable.
Because Zhao Qianli is here, naturally no one will make a long-sighted offer, so after the first stone is cut, it is directly the second one.
The glass sapphire is worth more than five million.
The third piece, the glutinous red jade, the size of a football, is worth nearly 10 million.
In other words, just these three stones, Zhao Qianli earned nearly 20 million.
The people next to them look excited, they all want to pick a few pieces to be dipped in joy, which is not uncommon in the gambling stone world, someone cut out the glass species, if it can really be stained with a little joy, it can also gamble a lot.
It's not that exaggerated, but it's a lot to triple it.
But at this moment, Zhong Changming spoke, "It's a pity, I originally wanted to cut more, but there are no more cost-effective stones in this workshop, it's good to have a very fast speed, but it can't cut a big rise, so I can only work for the boss." ”
"Forget it, that's all for today, we'll come back tomorrow. His words fell, and the others were stunned for a moment, the stone gambling masters all said so, which fool would cut stones?
And gambling on the stone is a heartbeat, I know in advance that it will not rise sharply, and I am stupid to cut it, so it is better to buy jade directly.
Zhao Qianli wanted this effect, and immediately said with a smile: "Elder Zhong, let's come back tomorrow and play in another gambling stone workshop." ”
The three of them immediately went out, but at this moment, someone spoke, "A few frogs at the bottom of the well who have never seen the world are embarrassed to gamble on stones here, I really don't know what to do." ”
