For the sake of safety, the gate of Meng Songhai's courtyard is usually closed.

There was a knock on the door, and two wolfdogs, tied around their necks on ropes, barked.

Hearing someone shouting his name, Meng Songhai put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Mao Zhenyang was very discerning, and when he saw that Meng Songhai was going out to greet him, he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and followed Meng Songhai to the courtyard.

"Who?" Meng Guoqiang looked out the door, muttered, did not stand up, and continued to eat.

"What are you eating, let's go out and have a look." Mao Hongmei said unhappily, and she also put down her chopsticks.

"It's not a visit from a national leader, so it's necessary to mobilize the people so much!" Meng Guoqiang smiled bitterly, but still didn't put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Hongmei, sit down and eat." Lu Xinya smiled and persuaded, "Just have Songhai and Zhenyang to entertain you." ”

Mao Hongmei thought for a moment, nodded, picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and continued to eat.

Meng Songhai opened the gate of the courtyard and met Li Wancai, a jade merchant from Hong Kong.

"Boss Li, long time no see!" Meng Songhai greeted with a smile, "Please come in, please come in." ”

In the middle of last year, before Meng Songhai left Ruili, he and this Li Wancai made a business of more than 800,000 yuan, Li Wancai bought a batch of jade bracelets from Meng Songhai and returned to Hong Kong, and it took more than a month for him to sell out these bracelets and make more than double the profit.

"Boss Meng, excuse me." Li Wancai said with a smile.

The two attendants accompanied Li Wancai into the courtyard.

"There's nothing to disturb or bother, Boss Li is here, and it's shining."

"Have you had dinner?"

"Not yet, I was having dinner just now."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you'd better go eat first." Li Wancai said with a smile, "You mainlanders say that people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." I think this statement makes a lot of sense. ”

"Then you sit in the courtyard for a while, and I'll make you a pot of tea."

After Li Wancai and his two companions entered the courtyard, Mao Zhenquan closed the gate of the courtyard.

A table and a few stools were set up in the courtyard, and Meng Songhai invited the three guests to sit down first, after which he personally made a pot of Pu'er tea, took a few clean teacups, and poured three cups of tea.

After chatting a few words, Meng Songhai went back to the house for dinner, originally he ate two bowls of rice at a time, he didn't want to snub the guests, he quickly finished the first bowl of rice, he walked to the courtyard and sat down, chatting with Li Wancai.

"Boss Li, last year, the batch of goods you bought from me was brought back to Hong Kong, is it easy to sell?"

"It's not bad, make some hard-earned money." Li Wancai smiled and said, "Boss Meng, what good goods do you have in your hands now?" ”

"Good goods...... Meng Songhai pondered for a moment and asked with a smile, "Colorful jade bracelet, are you interested?" ”

"Interested." Li Wancai said happily, "Can you take it out and show it to me?" ”

"It hasn't been processed into jewelry yet, and I took a few bracelet blanks." Meng Songhai stood up, "Wait a minute, I'll get it." ”

Meng Songhai entered the bedroom and took out the blanks of three colorful bracelets from a safe, as well as several pieces of bracelet cores and pieces.

Li Wancai carries a strong flashlight with him, and he knows the truth of "not looking at jade under the lamp", but this does not prevent him from watching jade under the lamp first.

If you look at jade under the lamp, the color of the jade will look more gorgeous, and the water head will look more sufficient, so as to mistakenly overestimate the value of jadeite, and the jargon is called "taking medicine".

After looking at it for a while, Li Wancai smiled and said, "Look at the lamp, these jade materials are very beautiful." ”

"It's beautiful in natural light, too." Meng Songhai smiled confidently and pointed to a bracelet blank, "This bracelet is less than 100,000, I won't buy it." ”

Li Wancai had just seen the bracelet blank that Meng Songhai was referring to, and when he heard Meng Songhai say this, he picked it up again, looked at it a few times with a flashlight, and said with a smile: "Although I have been in the jade business for more than ten years, it is still difficult to judge the performance of the jadeite seen under the lamp under natural light...... Tomorrow, I'll take a look tomorrow, and if I can accept Boss Meng's offer, then I'll definitely buy it. ”

"Boss Li, how many days are you going to stay in Ruili this time?" Meng Songhai asked.

"This is not necessarily, depending on the situation of buying goods, if you can't buy good goods, you may have to stay in Ruili for a few more days."

"Since you are not in a hurry to return to Hong Kong, then in four days, you can come over again, in the next few days, there will be batches of good materials to be processed, and when the time comes, Boss Li can see more high-quality jadeite." Meng Songhai smiled, "Also, tomorrow, I'm going to go to Tengchong." ”

"You're going to Tengchong to buy jade wool?" Li Wancai asked curiously.

"Hmm!" Meng Songhai nodded, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

Li Wancai hesitated for a moment, raised the teaglass, and said with a smile: "Boss Meng, I will replace wine with tea, and I wish you a successful start and a big rise in gambling stones." ”

"Thank you for your good words." Meng Songhai smiled and picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly, and took a sip of tea.

Li Wancai really wanted to go to Tengchong with Meng Songhai, after all, he had already heard that Meng Songhai's gambling stone vision was very powerful, and he wanted to see it, but he thought about it carefully, it was not a good thing to go to Tengchong with him, if he inadvertently ruined Meng Songhai's good deeds, he would be hated by the other party, and it would be worth the loss.

Li Wancai found a topic and asked: "Boss Meng, how many gambling stones are you going to buy when you go to Tengchong this time?" ”

Meng Songhai replied with a smile: "It mainly depends on what gambling stones can be encountered, and if I encounter a good gambling stone, even if I am in debt, I will buy it." ”

After chatting a few words, Li Wancai asked again: "How many finished jadeite jewelry do you have in your hand?" ”

"There are hundreds of small pieces, and there are a lot of bargains, and most of the bargains that Boss Li doesn't look down on."

"Boss Meng, don't say that, when you go back to Ruili, I will come again, no matter what grade of jade jewelry, I want to see ......"

After Meng Guoqiang and the others had dinner, Lu Xinya and Mao Hongmei cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together and wiped the table clean.

"Hello Boss Li, long time no see." Meng Guoqiang walked out of the house, saw Li Wancai, and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Boss Meng." Li Wancai stood up and greeted with a smile.

"Boss Li, come in and sit." Meng Guoqiang stretched out his hand to invite.

"I won't go into the house." Li Wancai smiled and waved his hand and refused, "I'm very tired after a day's car today, I want to rest early, I originally planned to come over tomorrow morning to visit, but after dinner just now, after thinking about it carefully, I decided to come over, it's really disturbing." ”

"Don't bother." Meng Songhai smiled.

"Farewell, Boss Meng, see you in four days." Li Wancai bowed his hand to Meng Songhai and said goodbye, and then said goodbye to Meng Guoqiang and Mao Zhenyang.

Meng Songhai, Meng Guoqiang and Mao Zhenyang sent Li Wancai and others out of the courtyard together, and when they were far away, Mao Zhenyang closed the door.

Meng Guoqiang asked curiously: "Those colorful bracelets, at what price do you plan to sell them to Boss Li?" ”

"Wait for me to go back to Ruili and make a decision after seeing the finished bracelet, don't keep the bracelet blanks, let the jade carving master process them tomorrow, and get a few pieces of colorful materials, process them into jewelry, design them well, don't be too rushed."

"I know, slow work makes fine work." Meng Guoqiang smiled and glanced at Meng Songhai a few times, "Little Wuzi, your business will get better and better in the future, and many jade merchants in Hong Kong and Taiwan have become your repeat customers." ”

"We are just getting started, and we still have a long way to go." Meng Songhai smiled faintly and touched his stomach, "I ate a bowl just now, and I haven't eaten enough yet, I want to eat another bowl." ”

Lu Xinya, who was standing at the door, heard Meng Songhai's words, smiled, and said, "I'll go and heat the leftovers." ”

"No need." Meng Songhai refused with a smile, "Now the weather is not cold, the food is still a little hot, bring it out, don't bother......"
