Chapter 459: Cost-effective?
The "Uncle Wei" in Meng Shuliang's mouth is an old colleague of his, named Wei Zihua, who has a very good relationship with Meng Shuliang, and he has no bad habits except for liking to show off this little problem. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wei Zihua is about the same age as Meng Shuliang, but his son was born in the first year of marriage, and his son is also competitive, and he is now the CEO of a technology company, and it is said that he has an annual income of several million.
Thanks to his son, Wei Zihua resigned from the factory where Meng Shuliang was a few years ago, and now he either goes to the park to play chess every day, or goes to his old friends to sit and sit, and his life is very leisurely.
Last year, when Meng Shuliang was sick, Wei Zihua actually wanted to make the wrong money for Meng Shuliang, but he had a wife who loved money like his life, and Wei Zihua usually didn't have more than fifty yuan of pocket money. So in order to avoid embarrassment, Meng Zitao's mother and son did not trouble Wei Zihua at first.
Meng Zitao said: "Dad, it's not that you don't know that Uncle Wei has no money in his hands, even if I find out, he can't afford it." ”
Meng Shuliang smiled: "If he bought it, I would have asked him to dismiss the idea, but he said that he would inquire about his son." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Dad, do you know how much our Arowana is worth now?"
Now this red arowana has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the beginning, its whole body is glowing with bright red, the two whiskers on its mouth are high, and its two big black and transparent eyes are full of aura.
Meng Shuliang shook his head and asked curiously, "How much can it be worth?"
Meng Zitao stretched out an index finger in his right hand: "At least one million, if you grow up, the value will be even higher, and even reach three or five million." ”
"What! It's so expensive!" Meng Shuliang and Xu Ping, who had just come out of the kitchen, were stunned when they heard the price.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "This is very normal, in 2004, there was an Arowana that was bought for 600,000 US dollars, and at the exchange rate at that time, it could be 5 million in exchange for our country's money." ”
The couple gasped: "Good girl, 04 is so expensive, and in a few years, the price will not be higher?"
Meng Zitao said: "This also depends on what species and the quality of the arowana." However, our Arowana may definitely reach the price I said, and this kind of Arowana on the market is also quite rare, and it is not easy to find one of similar quality. ”
When Xu Ping heard this, she was a little dissatisfied: "You kid, you don't tell us that this arowana is so expensive, if you let others know that we have such an arowana in our family, you can't recruit thieves! ”
Meng Zitao spread his hands: "But I'm very busy during this time, what if there is no one to take care of me?"
Meng Shuliang said: "What kind of nanny, it's a waste of money, I just run twice a day." ”
Meng Zitao shook his head again and again and said, "You are running back and forth, are you tired?" ”
Meng Shuliang said disapprerovingly: "It's only a few stops to do the bus, what's so tiring?"
Xu Ping said angrily: "Where are you two father and son brains? Wanyi's shop is there, just let her feed it, it's all at this time, isn't it a family?"
Meng Zitao smiled a little embarrassedly: "Isn't this not used to it?"
"You kid, you're about to get married, but you have to have a snack. Xu Ping taught her son a lesson.
"Yes!" Meng Zitao saluted.
After laughing for a while, Meng Shuliang asked, "What about Lao Wei?"
Xu Ping said: "Okay, Lao Wei's son has the same virtue as his mother, I don't think you can care about this matter, if he asks about you, just tell him the price and it's over." ”
Meng Shuliang nodded and said, "Okay, that's it." ”
Meng Zitao thought of something and reminded his parents: "By the way, you two must not tell others the way our family feeds the arowana, otherwise there will be trouble." ”
"Remembered. Meng Shuliang and his wife's chickens generally nodded again and again, but the old couple was most afraid of trouble.
After breakfast, Meng Zitao went to the fruit store with his parents, secretly learned about the waiter, and found that there was nothing major during this time, and he felt a lot more relieved.
So, Meng Zitao called the army and drove to Jijing Yayuan.
Meng Zitao got out of the car alone and came to his shop, and sure enough, he saw He Wanyi, who was directing the renovation workers.
For lovers, not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns, when Meng Zitao saw He Wanyi, his whole heart seemed to tremble violently, and he hurriedly walked over.
He Wanyi's attention was on the decoration, and it wasn't until Meng Zitao got closer that she found her boyfriend coming. I haven't seen her for a while, and she also misses Meng Zitao very much, and when she saw Meng Zitao appear, her mood was a lot happier, and at the same time, she also had a trace of indescribable different feelings.
In addition, she doesn't know if it's an illusion, she feels that her boyfriend has become handsome again.
Until now, Meng Zitao's appearance will not change much, but his temperament will change all the time, although it is only a trace, but it is also very considerable over time.
He Wanyi showed a very warm smile, in Meng Zitao's eyes, even the curvature of the corners of her mouth was so perfect. Similarly, in He Wanyi's eyes, Meng Zitao is also like the prince charming in his mind.
"Coming back?"
"Hmm!"
Although the words are simple, they can all hear the strong lovesickness in the words.
At this moment, He Wanyi really wanted to throw herself into the arms of Meng Zitao, but she was a thin face, and she still didn't dare to do so in full view of everyone, but Meng Zitao didn't care about this, and directly hugged her into his arms.
This feeling is very good for He Wanyi, but the environment is not right, and feeling the laughter from the surroundings still made one of her pretty faces red, and she quickly broke free, and said coquettishly: "I'm going to die, and I don't look at where this is." ”
Meng Zitao laughed a few times: "I know, next time I must change to a quieter place." ”
"Hmph!
In order to avoid embarrassment, He Wanyi immediately turned the topic to the progress of the decoration.
Meng Zitao has explained before, so the construction period is actually nearing the end, this is because He Wanyi has a strict relationship, otherwise it will have been completed.
Watching He Wanyi energetically introduce the effect of the decoration and the appearance of future development, Meng Zitao's face was full of smiles.
Although with Meng Zitao's conditions, He Wanyi can completely not have to work, but he believes that it still depends on He Wanyi's own ideas.
Some women enjoy the fruits of their own hands, while others yearn for husbands and children and take care of their families. In fact, there is no distinction between the two, and it is not possible to talk about who has contributed more and whose contribution is less, the key is to depend on personal preferences.
After chatting about work, Meng Zitao proposed to go around, and He Wanyi readily agreed.
The community is not far from the pedestrian street in the city center, and Meng Zitao and He Wanyi walked along the leisure path leading to the pedestrian street, chatting while walking.
Confiding in each other the lovesickness in their hearts, chatting about the interesting things in life during this time, the distance between the two hearts is getting closer and closer, and the warm feeling seems to melt them.
Meng Zitao told a joke that made He Wanyi laugh so much that tears almost flowed out, at this time, she was suddenly slightly stunned, and pointed to a jewelry store across the road: "Hey, isn't that Xiaoyun and Brother Hongchang?
Meng Zitao also felt a little strange when he saw Xiao Yun holding a ring and trying it, it stands to reason that he had told Brother Hongchang and Xiao Yun before that he wanted to buy jewelry and go directly to Cheng Qiheng's jewelry store, which was cheap and the quality was guaranteed. In that case, why did they come here?
"Could it be that you happened to be passing by and went in to see the style?" He Wanyi asked.
Meng Zitao nodded, feeling that this possibility was also relatively high, and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
"Okay. ”
Meng Zitao and He Wanyi walked into this jewelry store together, and saw the female clerk introducing Meng Hongchang and Xiaoyun: "This lady, you have a good eye and luck, this ring is the latest style in our store, the diamond used is a very good quality South African diamond, you see, this is our appraisal report." ”
Later, seeing Xiaoyun wearing the ring on her hand, the female clerk complimented her with a smile: "This lady, I think this ring really fits your hand." ”
Xiao Yun frowned slightly: "But this diamond setting method is quite low." ”
"How so?"
The female clerk said with a smile: "There are three common ways to set diamond rings, prong setting, prong setting and bezel setting, and the setting technique of our diamond ring is bezel setting." ”
"The bezel setting is a very traditional way of setting the diamond in the middle with a metal bezel that resembles a frame, and the history of the bezel setting style even surpasses that of the classic prong setting style......
The female clerk detailed the characteristics of the three inlay techniques, and of course, the advantages of the bezel setting in her mouth certainly outweighed the disadvantages.
In fact, each of the three setting techniques has its own advantages and disadvantages, for example, the advantage of the bezel setting method is that the metal edging will reflect the light of the diamond, giving everyone the illusion that the diamond will appear larger.
Secondly, the bezel setting is also one of the strongest settings, which is very useful for the protection of diamonds; Finally, the bezel-set ring has a very flat surface, which is not easy to scratch the diamond or snag the garment.
Because of this, the shortcomings of the bezel setting are also more obvious, because the diamond is wrapped in too much, the external light into the diamond is relatively less, the diamond light can not be fully displayed, compared with the prong setting of the bezel diamond ring The light is relatively restrained a lot, and the bezel setting is also a special metal diamond ring setting style, the processing is cumbersome, so the cost of the ring is higher.
However, in the mouth of the female clerk, the disadvantage turned into an advantage.
I only heard the female clerk say: "Our diamond ring is restrained and unassuming, the key is that the diamond it uses is large, otherwise how can you have the confidence to use the bezel setting method?"
Xiaoyun immediately said the key to it: "In this case, won't its price be expensive?"
The female clerk said with a smile: "That's why you two are lucky, today in our store, we have launched a special discount for several diamond rings, if you buy it today, you will definitely make money." ”
Xiaoyun was about to ask which diamond rings to ask, when she saw Meng Zitao and He Wanyi who had just come in, she stuck out her tongue at the two and asked, "Why are you here?"
He Wanyi glared at Xiaoyun: "I still want to ask how you can behave." ”
"Isn't this a Sunday out shopping? Let's take a look at it too, the style of the diamond ring here is still good. Xiaoyun smiled.
The female clerk immediately took over and said: "This lady is right, we have recently launched several diamond rings, all of which are designed by internationally renowned jewelry design masters, and our store is a chain store, and there are branches in the province, and the purchase of jewelry is guaranteed." Of course, it doesn't matter if you buy it or not, you can see if there is a suitable one first. ”
He Wanyi felt that it was not good to ask Xiaoyun not to buy a diamond ring here in front of other clerks, so she didn't say anything and accompanied Xiaoyun to look at it.
Xiaoyun continued the topic just now, and asked the female clerk to point out a few preferential diamond rings, and the result was the best one just now.
Xiaoyun asked, "How much does this diamond ring cost?"
The female clerk said: "After the discount, 98,000, this price is really very favorable, only today is the price, after today, there will be no more this price." As for whether it is cost-effective or not, you can see the importance of the setting when you look at the size of the diamond. ”
Looking at the certificate taken out by the female clerk, Xiaoyun made a silent calculation in his heart, and found that the price was indeed very low, and the cost performance was very high, so it could be said that there was no such store in this village.
The ultra-low price makes Xiaoyun very excited. To say, the style is indeed not her favorite, but the key is cost-effective, besides, nearly 100,000 things, how can I wear it every day, the key is to maintain and increase the value. Moreover, the style of this diamond ring is not so ugly that it is impossible to get your hands on.
However, the price of nearly 100,000 yuan still exceeded their budget, especially now that they are short of money, unless she asks her family for money, it is still a little difficult to buy this diamond ring. But if she asks her family for money, where will Meng Hongchang's face go? So after thinking about it, she finally decided to give up.
Xiaoyun's tangled appearance made Meng Hongchang feel very uncomfortable, he pondered for a while, and decided that he couldn't disappoint Xiaoyun, so he gave Meng Zitao a look and wanted Meng Zitao to help.
Meng Zitao understood Meng Hongchang's thoughts, but the decision he made was the opposite: "Brother Hongchang, let's take a look at another store, after all, this is also a big deal, and it is still appropriate to shop around." ”
When the female clerk saw Meng Zitao say this, she was very dissatisfied, and she still had the smile on her face: "This gentleman, I also think it should be done by shopping around, but to be honest, now that the information is developed, you can go online to find out if our diamond ring is the most cost-effective."
