Chapter 123: Beautiful Sapphire
"That's true, the doctor said that it was caused by a bad heart, and the lung function was also insufficient. This doesn't prescribe a bunch of medicines. Zhao Lao pointed to the coffee table next to him, a large bag was still there.
"I can't say anything about the doctor's examination, but I clearly tell you that your disease is caused by the lungs. In the dry jade industry, if you want good carving materials, you will definitely often dissolve the stone. Year after year, it's the dust of calcite that hurts you. Xu Ling guessed that Zhao Lao's illness should be caused by calcosis.
"What?pneumoconiosis?", Zhao Lanyu was dumbfounded, this calcite dust should not be big, the dust chips will be taken away by water when cutting, how is it possible?
"Yes, although it is not too strict, it can already affect Zhao Lao's health!", Xu Ling said to Zhao Lanyu.
"Can it be cured?", this is the question that Zhao Lanyu is most concerned about now.
"There is no cure, you can only rely on raising!", Xu Ling shook his head, thinking about those workers who dig coal and fill down, if they don't pay attention to protecting themselves and don't have dust-proof equipment, there is a high chance of getting pneumoconiosis. And once they are diagnosed with this disease, they can only raise it at home, and they are often miserable.
"This disease has been taken seriously in our country for a long time, but there is no cure for it, whether it is the current Western medicine methods or ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions. Xu Ling and Lao Yaozi had seen in the news that the coal miners in Xishan Province were suffering from pneumoconiosis, and they had also consulted many ancient and rare books, but unfortunately there was no general direction of treatment, and they rarely even mentioned this disease.
"I still know a little bit about my own situation. Don't worry, the old man will last a few more years. Didn't Xu Ling say, it may be good to raise it!", Zhao Lao said optimistically to Zhao Lanyu.
"This mentality is very good, Zhao Lao's illness is not serious, I brought a little medicine and wine today. Zhao Lao's slight rheumatism can be slowly cured by this wine. After speaking, he gave the tiger bone wine at his feet to Zhao Lao.
"Thank you, Brother Xu!", Zhao Lanyu shouted that Xu Ling's name had changed, and he finally got his approval.
Zhao Lanyu asked Xu Ling to take out the sapphire, and he took a look at it first. Zhao Lao was also very interested, he thought that the wine Xu Ling gave him was an ordinary medicinal wine, if he knew about the tiger bone wine, he probably wouldn't dare to accept it casually. No merit!
When Xu Ling took out a few gems, Zhao Lanyu was very surprised and quickly reached out to take them. "I thought you were taking a normal aquamarine, but I didn't expect it to be a Sri Lankan sapphire!"
It was Xu Ling's turn to be surprised Sri Lankan sapphire he saw a news, more than 30 carats and more than 3 million US dollars! This is obviously not that, looking at Lan Yu, waiting for him to explain.
"Sri Lankan sapphires are world-renowned, with the best one at over 1,000 carats sold for nearly $100 million! Each of these seven pieces is close to 15 carats, and they are worth at least 600,000 US dollars!", Zhao Lanyu looked admiring, it is rare to see so many sapphires that are not only beautiful but also full of weight at one time.
"Then I'm sorry to make me two rings and five necklaces. Two of them, one for my mother and one for my grandmother. The other three were women in their 20s or so. The rings belonged to my father and grandfather. And then there you see. Xu Ling took out two more bigger, almost 30-carat two.
Zhao Lanyu and Zhao Lao were also speechless, this Xu Ling clothes bag is like a treasure bag, and there is still one after taking it.
These 30-carat two are Xu Bing and Yu Ying's. The two of them have helped a lot in the past six months, and they will be rewarded at the end of the year. And who to get engaged to at the end of the year is also a headache, hoping that sapphire can calm a person's anger.
After negotiating the processing fee, Zhao Lanyu asked Xu Ling to get it a month later. Xu Ling wrote a recuperation prescription for Zhao Lao, and then asked him to exercise more and be less angry, so that he could practice calligraphy, raise flowers, and paint. These are calming regimens.
When they arrived on the street outside, as Xu Ling guessed, a few gangsters were gone, and they might have been taken away by the police. Out of the old city, Xu Ling looked at his car, but remembered that Xu Bing and Yu Ying were also going to work in the county, and now it is not a matter to ride a battery car to the township all day long, and he is also worried about rain and snow. As the CEO of the company, buying a car for them now is the company's welfare. Since you bought it, you will match it! Fat people can help with this.
When they arrived at the fat man's house, they were already there. Hu Xuan may have a bit of a taste of seeing her parents, completely losing her usual down-to-earth generosity, and sitting there shyly talking to Shi's mother. Xu Ling dragged the fat man outside and discussed with him how to get it. "Fatty, you see that the company's senior management and your sister-in-law have cars, and it's not appropriate to buy them. Discover the gold reward?", which is a good idea. The fat man also agreed, but Xu Ling still had to make a phone call with the village and Yuhu, and Sister Qian also had to explain. After communicating with the village, several cadres happened to be in the village committee, and they meant that they could buy it, preferably affordable and inexpensive, and they could buy a welcome car if they pretended to be a face. Xu Ling also thought this idea was good. And recently Audi has released a new A4L, which is not expensive.
The fat man took Xu Ling to the largest car sales market near the DMV. Although he has a goal, the fat man still hopes that Xu Ling will take a look at it, and there may be more suitable cars at the same price.
"Brother, you won't buy them all, will you?" asked the fat man.
"Is there a problem?", after Xu Ling heard it, he was a little confused, this car is not good?
"Yes, but can they all be the same, without any characteristics, right? Think about Xu Bing and Yu Ying, what colors do they like?", the fat man asked.
"Yu Ying likes blue, Xu Bing is red and white, I remember this!", Xu Ling is very clear about this, they have lived together for so long, if they don't even know the most basic, then they are really unintentional!
When I arrived at the Motor City, the first thing I saw was the huge LOGO of Lexus, these Japanese people are really good at doing business, and they are nailed there where they are the most conspicuous. "I don't think about the Japanese people, although I am not an angry youth!", Xu Ling said that he hated the Japanese people very much, but when he said that he wanted to buy their things, he felt uncomfortable.
"I don't like their people either, but you have to say that the things are still very good, although the car is thin, but it is fuel-efficient!And they take their work really seriously! For example, what Guinness 500 people stripped naked to make a human record! Wow wow, it's exciting to think about!", the fat man showed a lewd expression while driving.
"Except for the creation of people, I don't think you know anything else about the Wa Kingdom! Hurry up and find a parking space and go in and buy a car. Let's talk about it again, and wait for all the fat people to come. Speaking of this, he couldn't finish talking for three days and three nights, Xu Ling was dragged to the video hall by him to watch it once during the summer vacation of junior high school, and he couldn't go to the second time, so it was better to help his parents work at home.
After finding a parking space, Xu Ling and the fat man discussed the style while walking. The main thing is that the fat man said, Xu Ling listened. "Now the most affordable is the American system, except for the European system. Let's not consider the thin-skinned ones!", Xu Ling looked at the fat man speechlessly, in addition to the Japanese series, only the European and American cars are imported, are there any non-series?
Passing by the domestic sales hall, Xu Ling took a look, Geely cars are still good, especially after the acquisition of Volvo. But it will take a process to digest those technologies, but Geely's technology has improved quickly, and Xu Ling believes they can catch up. Out of Geely, Xu Ling saw Jaguar on the other side. Xu Ling looked at the fat man, I had never heard of this brand!" Jaguar is an old brand in the UK, you can consider it. As soon as Xu Ling entered the hall, he asked two salesmen to come forward to introduce the model, and said that they could test drive. You can see a huge explanatory poster in the exhibition hall, and now you can buy it not only for great benefits, but also for maintenance.
"Sir, because Jaguar entered the Chinese market late, it is also a great benefit to expand its popularity. The British car itself is also famous for its beautiful shape, strong power, fine craftsmanship, and overall aristocratic elegance, so buying this is now the most cost-effective. Of course, Land Rover is more well-known!" the beautiful sales lady did not forget to humor. "Land Rover is theirs too. But what I'm going to say is, beauty, the Land Rover isn't John Bull's, it's Ah San's!" said the fat man with a shrug.
"Its pedigree doesn't change, does it?", says the sales lady with a smile.
Xu Ling also fell in love with this Jaguar, beautiful body shape, streamlined appearance, hidden is a strong heart, but after asking the price, Xu Ling was a little disturbed, when introduced to XE, Xu Ling and the fat man felt that it was it! After a huge discount of 360,000 yuan, blue and white are available! A qiē 4S shop to help handle, five days later to pick up the car. Xu Ling ordered two, Yu Ying and Xu Bing's, as for He Dong, they had to ask for their opinions, whether they wanted cars or dividends. Xu Bing and Yu Ying's Che Xu Ling planned to pay for it themselves.
The fat man called, He Dong didn't want it, Zhao Xing and Xu Cai wanted A4.
After paying an advance payment of 100,000 yuan, Xu Ling and the fat man walked to the Audi store under the warm farewell of the sales beauties. This is not a Jaguar store, it is very crowded with people. Xu Ling and the fat man both looked around the store, but the salesperson was still empty. "Are all these German cars so easy to sell?", Xu Ling said to the fat man.
"How is that possible, there should be some activities today?", the fat man's eyes looked around, whether he was looking at the car or the beautiful woman only he knew.
Xu Ling and the others waited for a few minutes, and finally a sales lady came over to greet them. "I'm sorry two gentlemen, because today is our store to hold a huge discount for old car owners, car maintenance discounts, and old car owners buy cars again, so there are not enough personnel, so you have to wait for a long time! I am the sales manager He Min. After speaking, he shook hands with the fat man Xu Ling. This sales manager is very good-looking and should be around thirty years old. The fat man secretly sniffed it after holding it, Xu Ling saw that he kicked him, and his eyes told him, don't be embarrassed here!
The three of them came to the front of the A4 show car, the new car is really good-looking, and after looking at the price, Xu Ling looked at the situation of Juhui and asked the sales manager how much the price was. "From more than 200,000 to 500,000, there is a big price difference between different configurations. This comfort model is the cheapest, this medium luxury version is the most affordable, 300,000, and now the discount is 280,000. He Min said, pointing to a silver Audi.
Xu Ling didn't look at it, and set two cars, and then discounted 20,000 yuan, a total of 540,000 car purchase prices, as for the follow-up purchase tax, you have to pay it yourself.
The company's welcome car, Xu Ling set a Mercedes-Benz, one million. It's really painful, this is Xu Ling's first feeling!
