Chapter 38: I Want It All
Hearing the voice, Luo Chen and Song Mengting looked to the side, only to see a little boy who was thin and looked like he was only seven or eight years old, looking at them expectantly.
"Children, we've already finished reading, let's not buy it. ”
Song Mengting said with a smile.
"Big sister, my family really has it, please go and have a look. ”
The little boy prayed with a pleading face, even with a crying voice.
Seeing the appearance of the child man, Song Mengting was a little unbearable, and was about to ask Luo Chen's opinion.
"Dabao, what are you doing, don't disturb a few bosses. ”
A middle-aged man ran over, pulled Erbao over, and looked at Luo Chen and the others apologetically,
"I'm sorry, bosses, I'm sorry that this kid is ignorant and bothered you. ”
They didn't know this middle-aged man, Luo Chen, but they were familiar with him, because he was the master who worked in one of the stalls.
Luo Chen knows that the work of this kind of person is to know some skills in identifying rough stones, and then when others choose stones, they provide some advice and help others move stones, and those who have experience in calcing stones also help others solve stones.
Doing some dirty and tiring work to make money, not as good as a professional master, because of dirty and tired, you will earn more than ordinary work outside.
"Dabao, let's go, let's go back. ”
The man pulled the boy named Dabao and was about to go back.
"Uncle, I also have the same stone at home, and my grandfather said that they are all treasures, and they can be sold to treat my father's illness. ”
The little boy said stubbornly, unwilling to leave.
"You kid, your grandfather is talking about playing, you take it seriously, you can't go, Uncle will be angry if you don't go. ”
The man said as he frightened the child.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to sell stones for my dad to heal. ”
The little boy burst into tears, crying as he spoke.
"You kid. ”
The man was angry and helpless.
"This master, what's the matter with this kid?"
Luo Chen asked curiously.
"Alas, this child is a poor baby. ”
The middle-aged man shook his head with a look of regret.
"Can you tell us about it, maybe we'd be interested in looking at the stones. ”
Luo Chen said.
"This ......"
When the middle-aged man heard this, there was a heartwarming but somewhat hesitant expression on his face, and then sighed,
"Forget it, let me tell you, it's not a big deal anyway. ”
Through the middle-aged man's narration, Luo Chen and the others also knew the reason for the matter.
This middle-aged man's name is Zhang Shan, and Dabao is from the same place, and he is also a relative of the same family in the village, Zhang Shan called Dabao's grandfather Abo.
Dabao's grandfather turned out to be a rough stone trader, that is, he went to Nanyang to transport the rough stones, and then sold them to make money.
Although it is not big, it has also made money, and I have no worries about food and clothing.
Dabao's father is also a son inheriting his father's business, doing a rough stone business, everything is normal, and he doesn't want to have an accident.
Three years ago, the father and son went to the rough stone to buy the rough stone together, and found a stone in the process of rough stone procurement, which in the eyes of their father and son was a superb rough stone, and there was a great confidence that the best jadeite would appear.
The two spent a lot of money to buy it, and when they returned home, they decided to solve the stone themselves, and if nothing else, they would definitely make a lot of money.
It turned out to be unexpected.
The moment the stone was untied, he heard Dabao's father scream and fell unconscious.
Dabao's grandfather was frightened and sent to the hospital, and the result of the examination was that he was not sick.
However, Dabao's father has been unconscious, and after looking at the major hospitals across the country, he couldn't find any disease, until now, and the whole person is getting weaker and weaker, and now it is almost to the point of running out of oil and drying up, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for too long.
Because of this, Dabao's grandfather was not in the mood to do business again, and his business plummeted, and he is even more in debt now.
"Alas, pity my brother, who knows not what iniquity he has made?"
Zhang Shan sighed.
"Is it possible that you have fallen into evil?"
Luo Chen asked.
"I thought about this and went to see a lot of gentlemen, but it was useless. ”
Zhang Shan shook his head and said.
"If they really have a rough stone, let's go and see it, shall we?"
Song Mengting suddenly overflowed with love, her eyes were red when she heard it, she pulled Dabao, and kept sighing, "It's so pitiful." ”
"There are stones, which were left by Abel back then, but there are only more than ten pieces, and whether or not you can cut out the stones is another matter. ”
Zhang Shan said with a tangled face, he was worried that because there were too few stones, several bosses would not want to go, and he was also afraid that because the stones were not good, several bosses would be unhappy.
"Don't worry, it's our own idea, if you're not busy, take us to see it. ”
Luo Chen said with a smile, he could guess the reason for Zhang Shan's entanglement.
"Really? great. ”
Sure enough, hearing him say this, Zhang Shan immediately showed a look of surprise,
"Wait a few bosses, I'll ask for a leave of absence and take you over immediately. ”
After saying that, he left in a hurry, and ran over a few minutes later,
"Let's go, bosses, I'll take you there, it will take about half an hour. ”
"No problem. ”
Luo Chen and the others nodded.
Subsequently, Zhang Shan rode a motorcycle to lead the way in front, and Luo Chen and the others drove behind.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at a village, not big or small, almost 100 households.
Under the leadership of Zhang Shan, they drove to the gate of one of the courtyards.
"Uncle, Uncle......"
Putting down the motorcycle, Zhang Shan banged on the door and shouted.
"Grandpa, grandpa, open the door. ”
Dabao also shouted.
"Squeak. ”
The door opened, and out came an old man of sixty or seventy years old, who was Dabao's grandfather, and the old man Zhang looked at Zhang Shan Dabao and them, and was a little puzzled,
"Why did you get back?"
Then I saw Luo Chen and them in the back, and I was stunned,
"What is this?"
"Abel, they came to see the stones. ”
Zhang Shan said.
"Yes, Grandpa, when the stone is sold, we can treat Daddy. ”
Dabao also said happily.
"You kid. ”
Old Man Zhang touched Dabao's head, looked at Luo Chen and them, and nodded,
"Bosses, please come in. ”
When I walked into the courtyard, I saw more than a dozen stones piled up in a corner.
"Huh?"
Luo Chen suddenly let out a sigh of surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Song Mengting asked.
"Nothing?"
Luo Chen shook his head and looked at Old Man Zhang,
"Old man, why don't you cut it yourself and see it, maybe it's worth more than you sell the rough stone?"
Old Man Zhang smiled bitterly, shook his head, and did not answer, perhaps not knowing what to say.
"Brother Luo, the old man should be afraid, the rough stone can still be sold for some money, if you cut it, I'm afraid there will be nothing, right, old man?"
Song Tianming said with a very professional look.
Old Man Zhang nodded when he heard this,
"That's true. ”
Luo Chen also understood, nodded, and then asked:
"How do you sell this stone?"
"The big one is 100,000, and the small one is 50,000. ”
The old man hesitated and said.
Luo Chen nodded when he heard this,
"It's okay, it's a lot cheaper than at the exhibition. ”
"Well, I also want to deal with it quickly. ”
The old man smiled bitterly.
"Okay, add that piece, a total of fifteen pieces, seven large pieces, and eight small pieces, adding up to a total of 1.1 million, I want them all. ”
Luo Chen pointed to a stone in the courtyard that was used as a stool and said.
