Episode 20 The ebb and flow of the tide
"Wife, it's not that I won't come, I just kept greeting guests, and now I don't have any strength at all, so I wronged you to go. ”
I replied weakly.
"Alright, see how I clean you up when I come back. My wife agreed.
After hanging up the phone, I secretly cried in the corner, two years, two whole years, how many white eyes and grievances I have endured, and now I finally come out.
"Husband, where is the money?" I don't know how long it took for my wife's loud noise to float in.
"On the table, you see for yourself. I heard the voice and hurriedly wiped away my tears so that she could not see it.
"Wow, so much money, it's still foreign currency, husband, you're amazing, don't toss it anymore, okay? ”
Then a hug gesture pounced.
I didn't expect this to be the case, so I let her hug her tightly, and her body almost made me breathless.
I finally have a home, which is happier than anything else.
It feels so good to raise your eyebrows, as if the air has become sweeter.
I decided, from today, to change the name, the original name is "Wang blast furnace", I feel that I am steamed and roasted every day, too unlucky, what is the name of it, the word "natural" came out, I was born to like to collect, like to play with natural stones, yes, just these two words are good, Wang Tianran, from now on let people know that the stone I play must be natural, no doubt.
The news that I earned 10,000 US dollars spread quickly, whether it was to look up to me, or to look down on me, all came to congratulate me, the wealth effect spread like a virus, since then, Zhangzhou stone seeking, playing stone, stone appreciation craze rose rapidly, ZZ City Stone Appreciation Association was also established, everyone elected me as vice president.
At this time, my wife was also a lot more lenient with me, thinking that I had neglected her too much before, it was not good, and I had to change.
I often take her outside to see the world, participate in the stone exhibition or something, look at the scenery of her husband outside, and see her husband nodding her head and waist, Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang's call, my wife also feels very face-saving, and slowly understands me.
With her understanding, I had itchy hands again, and told my wife that I still had to go to the place of origin, and my wife told me to go, but don't bring cash.
I obeyed the orders when I went, but when I arrived at the production area and saw a shocking good stone, I still couldn't help but buy it, the money was owed first, this stone was really magical, I couldn't control myself at all, and my wife's words had already been thrown out of the clouds.
At that time, I ran out every day, either to other people's homes to shop, or to the Jiulong River to pick up, did not stop, very persistent, after eating, the family did not pay attention to anything, the children did not care, just to find stones, only stones let me have a sense of accomplishment, a sense of belonging.
Later, I opened a strange stone museum and a strange stone shop, and my business was ashamed to improve.
In 1997, I organized a strange stone exhibition in Zhangzhou, set up a display shelf, the stones were placed in a sloppy manner, the visitors were endless, they applauded, I also enjoyed the applause that everyone gave me, after all, a considerable number of people came to me, and I was very envious of the "stone idiot" stone business doing so well.
In the evening, I entertained Shi friends from afar at the Ruyi Hotel, and there was no shortage of flatterers on the table, and I enjoyed this feeling, which I deserved.
It was windy outside, and the wind was blowing harder, so we didn't care and continued to drink.
"Teacher Wang, something is wrong!"
The staff of the exhibition arrived in a hurry, and I was so scared that I almost vomited my wine!
"What's the matter? ”
I asked, trying to hide my uneasiness.
"All the shelves were smashed by the wind, and the stones were broken. ”
The staff replied.
When I heard this, I was shocked, and I didn't care about the guests, and rushed to the booth with a twelve-level wind speed.
The booth is in a mess, the stone is crooked, as long as the stone touches off a corner, as a strange stone is worthless, many of my boutiques are in it, there are other stone friends, this time the loss is heavy, I collapsed to the ground for a while, speechless for a long time.
The strange stone is the flesh of my heart, watching the love stone being destroyed, it is more uncomfortable than beating me, this time, my whole person collapsed.
I suddenly became afraid of playing with stones, and I felt sorry for them when I saw them, so I stopped playing with stones for half a year, and this year happened to be my tenth year in the stone world.
Half a year later, when my mood calmed down a bit, I tried to engage in other businesses and started a wholesale business.
I still do a very hot wholesale business, but the love for stones in my heart is difficult to give up.
As long as I hear that there are good stones, I will immediately put down my business and go to the scene to have a look.
This wholesale business stopped in less than half a year, and my mind is still full of stones, who made me live for stones!
After these 20 years, I now have three strange stone museums, covering an area of nearly 2,000 square meters, with a collection of hundreds of strange stones based on Jiulongbi, and a total of more than 10,000 exhibits.
To tell the truth, it is rare to have such a collection of a single stone species like mine in the whole country, and it is the brainchild of my 20 years.
Mr. Wang finished speaking slowly, still immersed in the past, these experiences are enough to write a novel.
"Teacher Wang, can you accept me as an apprentice?"
Lashi hadn't spoken just now, but now he knelt down in front of Teacher Wang, startling Kowloon.
Teacher Wang immediately wanted to help Lashi up: "It's not fashionable to do this now, we are all stone friends, and it's good for everyone to communicate and learn from each other." ”
"Teacher Wang, you can accept me, I have always admired you, not on a whim, people like me, uneducated, if there is no guidance from the Master, the Year of the Ox will come out!
Lashi kept getting down on his knees, but he didn't get up.
"Don't learn from me, like me, it will only teach you badly, besides, why do you have to be an expert when playing with stones? As long as you understand the quality of stones, know how to value, it's good to be a stone merchant, many stone merchants have made a fortune, those cultural things, leave them to the literati to take care of, why do you have to get along with yourself?"
Teacher Wang frowned and persuaded bitterly.
I love to hear this, yes, I'm just a stone businessman, just make money, why toss around, look at what Mr. Wang means, I don't want to accept myself as an apprentice, forget it, why bother to be bored, then stood up and stood aside.
Jiulong was also dumbfounded when he saw Lashi's appearance, but he deeply agreed with what Mr. Wang said, if he has the strength of 100 catties, he will pick 100 catties, and if he has to pick 200 catties, he will definitely be crushed.
Kowloon savored Mr. Wang's experience and worked hard to find what he wanted.
"Jingle Bell ......"
Teacher Wang's phone rang, interrupting Jiulong's thoughts, Teacher Wang quickly stood up, went to the right corner of the wall to answer the phone, and before he could listen to a few words, he immediately looked cramped and uneasy, walking around there.
"What a bad call!"
Teacher Wang muttered quietly, kept turning around on the ground, uneasy, and then looked at his watch, it was seven o'clock in the evening, he walked back to Kowloon and said, "It's not early, let's go have a light meal together, and stay here at night." ”
He adjusted his uneasy emotions, left it alone, and had to put down any big things, and entertain the guests first.
"Brother, looking at your soullessness, there must be something to hide from us, say it quickly. ”
Teacher Yu still understands him, and he can see at a glance that something is wrong with Teacher Wang.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that my informant told me that there is prey again. ”
Mr. Wang explained honestly.
"Wow, Mr. Wang is still a policeman, who are you going to arrest? ”
Lashi listened, thinking that Mr. Wang was a part-time policeman, so he asked stupidly.
"Informant, refers to the person who helps my brother find a good stone, look at your virtue, I guess one is accurate. ”
Teacher Yu smiled before speaking, very proud.
"Yes, a stone farmer told me that the ancient stone I told him to find has eyebrows. ”
Teacher Wang cracked his mouth and smiled.
Lashi scratched his scalp: "Why didn't I think of it, Mr. Wang, when will you go to see it, can you take me to see it?"
"Yes, Mr. Wang, what we lack most is experience, can you take the two of us to have fun together?"
Jiulong echoed, his eyes full of anticipation, he really wanted to see Mr. Wang's real kung fu.
"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow, this place is not easy to walk, don't be too far. ”
For Mr. Wang, this is a gesture, what is there not to agree.
Then the four of them ate together in the southeast flower capital, this is an ecological restaurant, the braised pork rice is particularly delicious, and some freshly picked plants, directly dipped in honey to eat, very distinctive, the four of them are very satisfied.
During the banquet, Mr. Yu spoke: "Brother, the general layout of your stone pavilion is good, I believe that according to what we just discussed, it will definitely satisfy the Southeast Flower Capital, you can talk to them well, it is not a dream to settle here for a long time, and then your museum will have a share of tickets, don't worry about not being able to do it, you will also have a complete merit, I have other important things to do tomorrow, so I will not accompany you." ”
"Wow, there is ticket income, Mr. Wang is really amazing, it will not be a big amount of money when the time comes, I have no hope for the rest of my life. ”
Lashi Kua people really have a set, these sweet words come easily, and they say a lot of things.
"Alas, it's difficult, to settle down for a long time, the passenger flow should be large, judging from the exhibition situation in recent years, the passenger flow is not ideal. ”
Teacher Wang shook his head, with an unoptimistic expression.
Kowloon deeply admires Mr. Wang, and this matter of collecting tickets is believed to be the pursuit of many stone friends, but he kept silent, if it wasn't for Mr. Yu's disclosure, Kowloon would not know.
It can be seen that the bumpy experience has cultivated Mr. Wang's character of honor and disgrace, and he believes that Mr. Wang can go through this hurdle and realize his wish to settle in the southeast flower capital for a long time.
Xi San, each went back to the room, Mr. Wang arranged for Kowloon and Lashi to live in the same standard room, Lashi fell asleep as soon as he got into bed, and Meng Zhougong went.
Jiulong stroked his hands and played, looking at Master Yunguang's shape, he couldn't sleep, the amount of information that Teacher Wang said today was too much, can he find the answer?
