Chapter Seventy-Two: Emeralds
"For me?"
When the two arrived in Hanoi, checked into the hotel and had dinner, they inadvertently slipped into the famous jewelry street, where Wu Minh bought a sapphire necklace from a jewelry store seemingly casually and handed it to Zhong Caini, the surprise on Zhong Caini's face was obvious.
"I'll pay you. ”
Taking the sapphire necklace in Wu Ming's hand, Zhong Caini glared at Wu Ming while hanging it on the pearl necklace that she was still wearing without the necklace and said, "I finally know the reason why you don't have a girlfriend until now." ”
Wu Ming didn't answer Zhong Caini's words, and looked at the dazzling shop signs on both sides of the street, as if he knew those Vietnamese words similar to Hanyu Pinyin. Of course, the recruitment in front of some large jewelry stores is written in Vietnamese, Chinese, and English, which looks more pleasing to the eye.
"Is it pretty?"
Hearing the question of Zhong Caini, who had a pendant hanging behind him, Wu Ming replied casually without looking back: "It looks good." ”
"You haven't even looked at it, how do you know if it's good or not?"
"Is that a good choice for me?"
Pouting at the back of Wu Ming's head, Zhong Caini suddenly noticed the abnormality of Wu Ming's gaze, so she walked up and grabbed his arm and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"No, I don't. ”
"Then why do you always look around?"
"Take the opportunity to learn two sentences of Vietnamese. ”
"Alas, poor Xiao Ming. Zhong Caini teased Wu Ming in a tone of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "If you worked so hard when you were in high school, maybe we would have been classmates forever." ”
"It's because I don't want to be a classmate with you for so many years, so I ....... ”
"It's not that I don't want to, but I feel inferior when I was so beautiful and innocent, so I deliberately hid, right?"
"No wonder you can get two PhDs, such a simple question can be so complicated by you. ”
"Giggles," Zhong Cainijiao smiled, raised her left hand and gently slapped Wu Ming's shoulder twice. "Flim Flam. ”
However, when Wu Ming led her into a relatively large jewelry store with the Chinese name "Oriental Jewelry", like all girls, even if she was a double doctorate, Zhong Caini still couldn't resist the temptation of various gems from the colorful and shining spotlight.
However, Wu Ming's attention was not on the beautiful stones, but on the numerous certificates hanging on the walls of the jewelry store. Indeed, in Wu Ming's mind, the so-called jewelry is just some stones that look better than ordinary stones.
"Miss, do you like this emerald?"
The owner of the jewelry store was a young man who looked to be in his thirties, with a well-proportioned body and a beard. Seeing Zhong Caini standing in front of the emerald booth of his town store for a long time, she couldn't help but step forward and asked enthusiastically.
"How do you know that we are Chinese?" Zhong Caini asked the boss in response.
"Haha, only rich guests will pay attention to this emerald, and the guests from China are undoubtedly rich. "The boss doesn't speak Chinese fluently, but there are no major grammatical errors. "Besides, I often go to China and have a very special affection for Chinese. So, I can tell at a glance whether the guest is Chinese or not. ”
Zhong Caini didn't continue the topic when she heard this, but looked at the emerald in the booth and asked, "How much?"
"Does Miss really want it?"
"If the price is right. Zhong Caini did want to choose a birthday gift for her mother for a long time. Counting on his fingers, there are not many days left before his mother Jin Xiaoying's fifty-year-old birthday.
"Hehe, although this emerald is the treasure of our store, but if I meet a knowledgeable buyer, I am still willing to cut my love. "The boss is also an old man, so naturally he won't quote the price so quickly. If he reports low, he will suffer, and if he reports high, he will scare the guests away, so he is trying to observe the expression on Zhong Caini's face.
But at this moment, Wu Ming suddenly interjected: "Really?"
"Sir...... It seemed that his self-esteem was hurt by Wu Ming's words, but when he thought that after the business was completed, he would have to count on the young man in front of him to pay, and the jeweler still held back the unhappiness in his heart. Stretching out his index finger and pointing to the ceiling, he said, "I, Nguyen Phuc Chun, swear to heaven that this emerald is absolutely real." ”
"Vietnam doesn't produce emeralds, so you must have bought this one from abroad. So let's take out the appraisal report of the relevant international organization first, and then we will discuss the price. ”
Hearing Wu Ming say such serious and professional words for the first time, Zhong Caini couldn't help but look at him with a light flash.
The boss Ruan Phuc Chun was even more surprised and said: "I didn't expect Mr. to be really an expert." Please wait. ”
When Ruan Phuc Chun turned around to get the relevant documents, Wu Ming asked Zhong Caini: "Do you really want it?"
"Yes, in a little more than a month, my mother will be 50 years old. ”
"Alas, the children of rich families are good. Take the family's money to give gifts to your parents, and give the same peace of mind. ”
"How do you know I used my family's money to buy gifts for my mother?"
"Did you really sell that bag of drugs last time?"
Wu Ming, who was not serious, Zhong Caini found that she really couldn't talk about him, so she simply lowered her head and looked at the emerald the size of her thumb again.
The conversation between the two fell word for word, and through the surveillance in the store, it fell into the ears of the boss Nguyen Phuc Chun, who went back to the small office to get his documents. This is also a common trick used by many jewelry stores. Get out of the way so that customers have the opportunity to talk to each other and get the information they need from their conversations.
For example, do you really want to buy it?
For example, whether the customer is rich or not.
What made Ruan Fuchun secretly happy was that although Wu Ming and Zhong Caini only had a few short conversations, they still gave answers to the two questions that Ruan Fuchun was most concerned about - Zhong Caini not only wanted to buy, but also was a child of a rich family. At the same time, it also let Ruan Fuchun know that this man and woman should not be husband and wife, not even boyfriend and girlfriend.
What he didn't expect the most was that Wu Ming said the last sentence about "drugs" to Zhong Caini, so that when he walked out with a smile on his face and various documents, he looked at Wu Ming twice.
"Sir, this is the testimonial of the most famous international appraisal firm in Hong Kong. This is the auction record of the Hong Kong Phoenix Dragon Auction, which is the ....... ”
Every time Ruan Fuchun took out a document full of English and put it on the glass counter in front of Wu Ming, Wu Ming didn't even look at it, and casually pushed it to Zhong Caini next to him. I didn't forget to instruct: "But you have to look carefully." As far as I know, a document like this can be bought offline for a hundred or ten dollars, and it is even more real than the real thing. ”
"Sir, the shops on our street are all legal operators. If you buy a fake from me, you can sue me in court. ”
"Is it useful to have a lawsuit with you in Vietnam?"
Overheard the conversation between the two just now, and understood the relationship between the two, Ruan Fuchun, the boss who no longer cared about what Wu Ming said, and just dealt with it very casually.
"If my husband feels that he is not sure about a lawsuit against me in our country, he can also sue me after returning to China. In China, I also have my own jewelry store. ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. As he spoke, Ruan Phuc Chun took out a business card from his jacket pocket and handed it to Wu Mingdao: "This is a jewelry store I opened in General City, China. Although my name is not on the business license, I am the actual controller of the store. ”
"How?"
"Hehe, sir, as long as you buy jewelry from me, you can go to this store and issue an invoice. Pointing to the business card that Wu Ming held in his hand, he said, "I will sign a contract with you in the name of the jewelry store in General City in your country, and use this as proof, okay?"
"Alright then, you can make an offer now. ”
