Li Rui comprehended, and said: "The night pearl in the ancient legend should be fluorite that can emit phosphorescence?" Director Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, it's a pity that fluorite that can emit phosphorescent is very rare and precious, which also causes that there are very few real night pearls in the world." There are many profiteers who take ordinary fluorescent fluorite and carve it into night pearls and sell them to those rich people who don't know the goods. Those people just have money, they don't have any research in this area, and when they see that it can shine at night, they think it's genuine, so they spend a lot of money to buy it, and they are fooled. The year before last, in our provincial capital, a profiteer came to me, bought an ordinary fluorite and went back, found a craftsman in a jade shop to make a night pearl, and sold it to a nouveau riche owner, and made more than 300,000 yuan at once. But in fact, the cost is only a few hundred dollars. ”

Li Rui and Gao Zixuan glanced at each other, each shocked.

Li Rui said with a smile: "This money is too easy to make." Director Zhang said: "Why do I tell you this, I just want to help you figure out your own needs, whether to play with a night pearl casually, or to get a real night pearl." I see that a few of you are dressed in style, I guess you are not ordinary people, you should want to get a real night pearl, then buy phosphorescent fluorite from me. Li Rui said: "Well, it's for the real Night Pearl Rough Stone." Director Zhang said: "You must have understood what I just said, fluorite that can emit phosphorescence is very rare and precious, so the price is slightly higher than that of ordinary fluorite." Li Rui asked: "What is the price of that?" Director Zhang said: "Ordinary fluorite, 121 tons, can be pulled at will; this special fluorite, 12000 can only buy one catty." Are you sure you want to buy it? If so, I'll take you to inspect it. ”

Li Rui naturally nodded without hitting. What are you doing here, aren't you here for the rough stone?

In a sealed warehouse in the depths of the factory, Li Rui and the three of them saw a pile of special fluorite ore stored in the deepest corner of the warehouse, which was the kind of fluorite that could emit phosphorescence. And beyond this pile of ore, there are piles of ordinary fluorite ore.

Director Zhang introduced: "You see, this pile of fluorite ore in the corner is phosphorescent fluorite ore, do you see, this pile of stones that glows green and white light is." If you look around, it's dark, there's no external light source, it can still light up on its own, this is the authentic Night Pearl Rough Stone. If you look at these piles of normal fluorite ore out there, they don't emit light, right? Because it's not illuminated by an external light source. Now I'll shine a flashlight on you. As he spoke, he turned on the flashlight, flashed a few times at a pile of ordinary fluorite ore, and then turned off the flashlight, and said, "Look again, is it starting to have light? This kind of ordinary fluorite, the longer the light time, the higher the brightness." If there is no external light source for a long time, it will not light up. This is the principle of luminous watches. ”

Li Rui was impressed, nodded again and again, and said in his heart that life is everywhere to learn.

According to Li Rui's needs, Director Zhang found two pieces of ore suitable for carving and cutting from the phosphorescent fluorite mine, and took the three out of the warehouse.

When he came outside, Li Rui held two rough stones and looked at the sun, and found that one of them was not very pure, and there were many lotus-colored stone crystals in it, while the other one was much better, and in terms of texture and color, it was very close to the tortoiseshell.

Weighing, weighing, haggling, checkout...... After spending a thousand dollars less, the three of them got the rough stone.

Before leaving, Director Zhang kindly reminded Li Rui: "All minerals that can emit light in nature have radiation, and the radiation intensity is not low. Therefore, you should usually pay attention to keep a distance from fluorite, and do not carry it with you for a long time. ”

Li Rui thanked him for the reminder. Director Zhang gave them a business card for a jade workshop. The three of them drove to the jade workshop.

When he arrived at the workshop, Li Rui took the rough stone and explained the basic needs to the boss.

The boss was a fat man in his forties, with a fat face and small squinted eyes, and his appearance was not good, but he had the usual cunning and greed of a businessman. When he saw that the three of them were coming in a BMW, he opened his mouth: "Two thousand yuan, no bargaining!"

Li Rui exclaimed in surprise: "Two thousand, is there any mistake? Boss, our piece of rough stone is only worth a thousand yuan, and you want two thousand yuan from us?" The fat man said with a smile: "You don't know how to do it when you hear it, do you know what is the most expensive thing in the jade shop?" Li Rui shook his head blankly. The fat man said proudly: "It's craftsmanship! How much can the rough stone be worth? Not to mention your broken fluorite, even if the jade ice species in the old pit in Myanmar, the rough stone is not worth a few dollars, and it depends on the craftsmanship." Li Rui said: "But our needs are not complicated, we don't need any complicated processes, right? Isn't it just to cut a round ball?" The fat man snorted coldly: "To put it simply, we have tools here, you can cut one out and try it yourself?" ”

Gao Zixuan was impatient to bargain, and said, "Okay, two thousand is two thousand, you have to make me a night pearl that I can handle." The fat man said, "Yes, this is in line with your identity." You said that you drive a BMW, and you have to pay 2,000 yuan a month for parking, and you still care about these two small money?" said, glanced at Li Rui with disdain, and said to Gao Zixuan: "Beauty, don't worry, our craftsmanship here is absolutely good." It's not like I haven't taken on your work before, and I've done it all beautifully. One of the Night Pearls was also bought by a Chinese American, who bought it for 100,000 dollars, hey, that's what we did. Gao Zixuan said lightly: "I don't care about other people's, you have to do a good job of me." The fat man said: "You don't need to explain this, we have always adhered to the service tenet that customers are God...... By the way, let's pay the deposit first. ”

After the three of them got into the car and left, a fashionably dressed young woman came out of the counter, patted the fat man on the shoulder happily, and said happily: "Hey, I've let you meet Kaizi again." I said that you really dare to ask for the price, you insisted on asking for 2,000 yuan for the salary of 200 yuan, and they actually gave it, what a stupid shortage!" The fat man said triumphantly: "That's, as soon as I saw them driving a BMW, I said in my heart, hey, grandson, I have to slaughter you this time, I can't imagine that they obediently admit to slaughter, and they haven't even paid back a penny, haha." The young woman coquettishly said: "Husband, I have seen a coat on the Internet, I want to buy it, I just made so much money, you see ......" The fat man twisted on her plump buttocks, and said loudly: "Buy!" After speaking, he said: "But you have to make me happy first, hehe." As he spoke, he pushed her to the inner room.

When Li Rui and the three returned to the city, it was almost dark. It's not that time flies, but the three of them are running around, and they really waste a lot of time. It took two hours to walk around the thrift market, another hour in the fluorite processing factory, and four or five hours to add the time spent on the road. However, although it is hard, it has solved a major problem, which is also gratifying.

The three of them found a restaurant in the city for dinner. When he sat in the store, Lu Qingman went to the bathroom to make it convenient for Li Rui and Gao Zixuan to order.

Li Rui took advantage of her absence to whisper to Gao Zixuan: "You said in the afternoon, if you can get the Night Pearl according to my method, you will reward me well." How are you going to reward me?" Gao Zixuan glanced at him charmingly, and said, "I recognize you as my husband, are you embarrassed to be rewarded?" Li Rui smiled: "Then are you my eldest wife or my little wife?" Gao Zixuan took a sip of tea, looked around, and said leisurely: "Aren't all the same size, aren't they all your wives?" Li Rui was so happy after hearing this, he was overjoyed, and he smiled so much that his eyelashes bloomed. Gao Zixuan said: "The workshop owner just now said that it would be shipped in three days, so I will ask the antique dealer in Beijing to come over next weekend, and then you will come over to accompany me to see him and be my bodyguard." ”

Li Rui calculated the time, next weekend is the end of the month, which happens to be connected with New Year's Day, and the boss Song Chaoyang, the secretary of the municipal party committee, is estimated to be very busy around New Year's Day, and he may not have time to come over, so he said: "I dare not promise you, but as long as I have time, I will try to come over." Gao Zixuan snorted coldly and said, "No, whether you have time or not, you have to come over to accompany me." Otherwise, what if that antique dealer wants to harm me? If Sister Qingman is sick, you can rush over to accompany her overnight, and if I encounter such a big incident, you must also come and accompany me. Otherwise, it's just favoritism, it's unfair, and you don't have the face to be my husband. Li Rui smiled slightly, looked at her stupidly, and said, "Can you not be so cute? I really love you to death." Gao Zixuan's face was silent, and he kicked him under the table.

After eating, Li Rui took advantage of the bathroom to call the eldest baby Yao Xuefei and told her that she was busy tonight and couldn't accompany her, and she would make amends tomorrow night. Yao Xuefei knows that the nature of his work is very special, and he can only express his understanding of this, and there is nothing he can do if he doesn't understand. The two made an appointment to stay and fly tomorrow night.

According to the plan in the morning, after dinner, the three of them got into the car and rushed to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in the Heping District.

The Sacred Heart Cathedral is the only church in Jingnan City, which was built by Catholics from Italy during the Republic of China in the Heping Zone. The church as a whole is a typical Gothic building. It has four tall minarets, three pointed arch entrances and a circular rose window in the center of the main span, creating a dignified and beautiful façade, which looks more white and straight surrounded by green pines and cypresses. The lobby is in the shape of a cross, with a construction area of about 3,000 square meters and a height of 18 meters, and the spire of the bell tower is about 32 meters high. Standing in front of this exotic building rich in Western characteristics, no matter how irritable your heart is, it will be inexplicably quiet.
