Chapter 579: The Origin of the Little Girl
PS: Today's second update, ask for monthly pass support.
"It's a feast?"
At this time, Wang Guan looked up at the sky, and said a little strangely: "It's so early." ”
"Not early."
Hao Baolai explained: "After all, some people are really busy, and it is not easy to come over to celebrate their birthdays in person, so it is natural to entertain them well and then send them back." Of course, if you are not in a hurry, you can stay for dinner after eating this meal. ”
Although Old Man Su's birthday banquet is not like the style of some nouveau riche, where a three-five-seven day flowing water banquet is set up, and guests from all over the world are invited to eat as much as they want, two meals a day can still be afforded. Moreover, it is certain that most people come to worship their birthdays for the purpose of definitely not eating.
Wang Guan suddenly realized, and then said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let's go, don't let the master wait." ”
"Don't worry, just say hello in advance, it is estimated that it is still in preparation." Hao Baolai said with a smile: "I'm more interested in what you have in your hand now." ”
"It looks like tortoiseshell." Gao Dequan smiled: "Such a blockbuster, just take it back and make it into a plate." ”
"Uncle De, you're wrong, it's not a tortoiseshell......" Wang Guan shook his head and smiled slightly: "It's a tortoiseshell." ”
"Tortoiseshell?"
The two were stunned for a moment, Hao Baolai was faster, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Really? Show me. ”
Wang Guan smiled, handed the thing to Hao Baolai, and then jumped off the beach on the reef, and then helped Bayeux down, and slowly walked towards the pontoon bridge with a hello.
Hao Baolai watched as he walked, and soon after, he exclaimed in surprise: "It's really a tortoiseshell." ”
"Show me too." Gao Dequan reached out and took the thing, then looked at it carefully for a moment, and then he nodded to make sure that it was genuine, but there was a strange look on his face: "The thing seems to have been polished......"
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be the middle of the thirteen scales on the tortoiseshell's back."
Gao Dequan groaned: "But the thirteen scales are shield-shaped, with sharp edges and corners. But the piece is oval, and the corners are clearly carefully polished. ”
"So what?" Hao Baolai was a little puzzled.
"Don't understand? It means you're stupid. ”
Gao Dequan smiled: "Didn't you say it just now?" The scales are the size of a plate. But whether ancient or modern, such a large area of tortoiseshell is relatively rare, not to mention the value, it must be very expensive. If it were you, would you be willing to waste such a large piece of material and simply make a disc-shaped object? ”
"Absolutely impossible." Hao Baolai said categorically: "Whoever does this, I will fire him." As the CEO of a jewelry company, he has always been frugal and pursues profit maximization, so he naturally hates this kind of wasteful behavior.
"That's right."
Gao Dequan pondered: "Tortoiseshell products are very common. Things such as small inserts, vases, incense, pen holders, pen barrels, bracelets, fans, fat powder boxes, and even combs, hairpins, etc., are known for their delicate and small, and it is rare to see disc-shaped objects. ”
"Uncle De, you are a fan of the authorities." At this time, Wang Guan reminded with a smile: "Don't always pay attention to the corners, but also look at the texture in the middle." ”
"Texture?"
Gao Dequan was stunned, and his eyes fell on the middle of the tortoiseshell scales. Look closely at the black-brown markings. At first glance, he didn't care, he just felt that the markings were normal and there was nothing special.
But. Gao Dequan is not a person who eats the ancients, and then adjusted his angle to continue to observe. It was at this moment that his gaze froze, and he felt a little more amazed.
"What an heirloom."
Gao Dequan was amazed. Then he was surprised: "Wang Guan, where did you conjure this thing from?" ”
It's no wonder he's so strange, after all, they came here just now. At that time, Wang Guan was empty-handed, he didn't bring anything like a bag at all, and his pockets were small, so it was impossible to fit a plate-sized tortoiseshell scale.
But in the blink of an eye, Wang Guan had such a large object in his hand, which naturally made people suspicious.
"Picked." Wang Guan smiled and said: "Just now my bay leaf was watching the waves on the reef, and suddenly a big wave rushed over, leaving this thing on the stone, and then it was discovered by bay leaf......
For a moment, Gao Dequan and Hao Baolai looked at each other, feeling that Wang Guan didn't seem to be joking, and suddenly they felt indescribable emotion in their hearts, and suddenly had an urge to burst into tears.
"Your luck is really against the sky......" Gao Dequan couldn't go on, he was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he couldn't help but say some jealous and hateful words.
Wang Guan has a smile on his face, he can guarantee that this time is pure luck, it seems that the first thing to do when he returns to Shanghai after the birthday banquet is to buy a lottery ticket.
"When you get back, remember to pick a lottery number for me." Hao Baolai's expression was very solemn, and then he smiled and sighed with regret: "I knew that I followed you to see the waves just now." ”
Of course, Hao Baolai was just joking at first, but when Gao Dequan instructed him to look at the tortoiseshell markings, he really regretted it. You must know that when he came to the island, he really wanted to see the sea view on the reef, but when he found that Wang Guan and Baye Ye went first, he dispelled this idea.
Unexpectedly, it was this difference in thought that made him miss a treasure.
"Sometimes you have to admit that there is such a thing as chance, which is really unenviable. Maybe you go to the reef and something rushes to their feet on the beach of the sea. Gao Dequan smiled and patted Hao Baolai on the shoulder as comfort.
"Hehe, it's possible."
After all, he was used to seeing the gains and losses of the wind and rain, and Hao Baolai quickly returned to his normal mood, and then his expression was correct, and he sighed: "Speaking of which, this is also the will of heaven...... Wang Guan, I want something, you can make a price. ”
"Huh?" Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then relieved, and naturally understood Hao Baolai's purpose of buying tortoiseshell scales.
At the same time, Gao Dequan deliberately walked away a few steps, leaving them room for bargaining. Immediately, in Hao Baolai's expectant gaze, Wang Guan thought about it, nodded and smiled: "Things can be given to you, and you don't need money." ”
Hao Baolai's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to listen attentively, because he knew that Wang Guan must have something to follow.
"But I heard Uncle De say that Uncle Hao has a treasure trove in his house, and there are many good things hidden in it......" Speaking of this, Wang Guan smiled and said nothing, and Hao Baolai also understood what he meant.
"Hurting friends hurts people."
At the right time, Hao Baolai glared at Gao Dequan fiercely, and then said briskly: "Okay, I'll pick one for you when the time comes." ”
"Then it's decided." Wang Guan smiled happily: "In this case, the tortoiseshell scales will belong to you." ”
"How do you feel like you've been calculated?"
Hao Baolai muttered quietly, took the tortoiseshell scales in his hand and looked at them repeatedly, and then smiled. Anyway, with his understanding of Wang Guan, he knows that Wang Guan is not a greedy person, even if he barters things, he must choose something of the same value.
Although the things in the treasure vault are also treasures that he carefully collects, it is somewhat heartbreaking to choose one for Wang Guan like this. But when he saw the natural markings on the tortoiseshell scales, he also felt that it was all worth it.
Just as the two of them were finalizing the agreement, they also walked across the pontoon bridge, re-ascended to the top of the island, and then slowly descended the steps back to the manor.
Led by a servant, several people came to the place where the birthday banquet was held. It was a wide hall, whether it was the arrangement of tables and chairs, or the arrangement of lights, it was completely like a five-star hotel.
Walking into the hall on the soft red carpet, I saw that there were many guests here, including successful people with big bellies, as well as graceful and luxurious women, among which there was naturally no shortage of young and beautiful handsome men and women. These people gathered in groups of five or three, divided into different circles, and whispered softly, bursting with laughter from time to time......
Everything is enough to show that celebrating Old Man Su's birthday is only one of the purposes, I am afraid that the real intention is to use this place as a social place, a place for everyone to connect with each other.
It's a bit like a buffet, Wang Guan took two glasses of drinks, handed one of them to Baye, and then smiled and said, "Uncle De, it seems that there are many acquaintances." ”
Wang Guan did find many acquaintances, such as Qiu Wenzhong, as the general manager of a subsidiary of Su's Group, it is impossible to leave on such an occasion. In addition, there are Fang Mingsheng and Li Yifeng, who have dealt with them......
Naturally, there must be other rich people who have heard of it, or have not heard of it. To put it mildly, if someone gets a missile to blow up this place, it is estimated that China's economy will surely decline for several months, and then usher in a new take-off.
This is easy to understand, after all, the position in front is vacant, and the people below must compete to fill it. Only when there is competition can there be vitality, vitality and stimulate economic development......
"It's an acquaintance."
At this time, Gao Dequan smiled and said, "Why don't you go over and say hello?" ”
"Forget it, it's no fun not to look for yourself." Wang Guan is very self-aware, don't look at some people who are very affectionate in private, but in this kind of formal occasion, especially in front of business partners, it will definitely be another face.
It may not be that you turn a blind eye and pretend not to know, but the reaction must be cold.
"Not really."
Gao Dequan smiled: "I also saw a few friends in the circle just now, and I will take you over to get to know them later." ”
"Thank you, Uncle De." Wang Guan nodded, this is no problem, and then he saw a person among the guests with his eyes, and he was a little surprised, and he unconsciously observed.
At the right time, Baye's voice came from the side: "Do you think the little girl is very beautiful?" ”
"What......" Wang Guan instantly sobered up, and hurriedly turned around and explained: "It's definitely not as beautiful as you." It's just that I've seen her, and Uncle De has also seen them, but I didn't expect her to come too......"
"Who?"
Gao Dequan looked at the situation and said a little suddenly: "It turned out to be her, the little girl named Xiaojing yesterday." I don't know what the origin is, as soon as I open my mouth, I will take 20 million to buy your Heiding teacup. (To be continued.) )
