Because he didn't have to go to school after taking a long vacation, Liu Tao got up slowly the next day.

As soon as he got dressed, his phone rang.

The call was made by Lin Lao. He has returned from the capital and is now in Binjiang City. He asked Liu Tao if he had time and wanted to see him.

The master called himself, and even if he didn't have time, he had to squeeze out time. Liu Tao didn't even think about it, and agreed directly. Then, he hurriedly washed up, said goodbye to his mother, and left the house.

Soon he met Lin Lao. Compared with last time, Lin Lao seemed to be more energetic.

"Liu Tao, this is for you." When Liu Tao got into the car, Lin Lao handed him the things he was playing.

Liu Tao took it and saw that it was a piece of jade pendant and two ring noodles. On the surface, the material doesn't seem to be very good, it belongs to the intersection of green and blue, and there are quite a lot of impurities.

Liu Tao couldn't understand why Lin Lao would show him these things, and he felt very puzzled in his heart. It was out of such a puzzle that he subconsciously scanned the jade pendant with the eye of the sky, and immediately found the cat in it.

It turns out that these things are made with Smurfs! The green on the outside is just a disguise. I have to say that those who can make such things must be masters.

"Master, did you find someone to carve it out so quickly?" Liu Tao carefully looked at the jade pendant in his hand and asked in disbelief.

"As soon as I returned to the capital, I immediately went to find my old friend, Xu Hongbo, the most famous carving master in China. When he saw this piece of material, he agreed without saying a word. Then I worked overnight to make it for you. Fortunately, the Smurfs belong to a very high-grade jadeite, so the front and back of the jade pendant do not need to be treated. Otherwise, it may not be possible to make it in a week. Lin Lao smiled and explained.

"Master, I'll keep these two rings, this one is yours." Liu Tao said as he returned the jade pendant in his hand to Lin Lao. He has already promised to give the jade pendant to Lin Lao, and he can't be honest as a man.

Unexpectedly, Lin Lao didn't take it, but shook his head and said, "I have several jade pendants at home." I don't usually have time to wear it. Now that I have time to wear it, you can leave this jade pendant to your girlfriend. I'm sure she'll love it. ”

"But ......," Liu Tao seemed to want to say something. After all, he had already promised this piece of Smurf to Lin Lao, and now it was good, Lin Lao found someone to carve it and returned it to him. It's not right to do anything.

"But what is it? If I don't have anything to wear, I'll take it. Lin Lao glared at him, and then said, "I heard that you went to the island city to participate in the jewelry conference, how was it, did you gain anything?" ”

Liu Tao nodded. said: "This trip earned more than 40 million, nearly 50 million. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. Lin Lao was suddenly interested. Although he knew that this apprentice was not simple, he didn't expect that just going out and gaining so much would be really beyond his expectations.

So Liu Tao told Lin Lao about the part of the trip to the island city about the calcite of the jewelry conference.

After hearing this, Lin Lao was stunned for a while and said, "Three stones, all except green. Except for the first one, which suffered a slight loss, the remaining two were all big gains, especially the last one. Sold directly at a high price of 45 million. With such a high gambling rate, even the first-class gambling stone masters in China may not be able to do it. ”

"Master, I rely on luck and intuition for this. As I told you, I don't know much about gambling stones, and it's just a playful mentality. Liu Tao explained a little embarrassedly in the face of Lin Lao's high evaluation.

"Not to mention anything else, just with this playful mentality, which is what most people who gamble on stones do not have. I have seen a lot of people who gamble on stones, especially some newcomers, who are all with the mentality of making a fortune. As everyone knows, the more this is the case. The more you get nothing. Lin Lao sighed when he said this. One is rich, the other is poor, and the gambling industry is sometimes really cruel. That's it alone. He is also reluctant to touch the gambling stone industry. The reason why he is optimistic about Liu Tao is mainly because of Liu Tao's eyesight and feeling. Although Liu Tao has been emphasizing that he wins by luck, in his opinion, luck is only part of it, and his vision and feeling are more important. He believes that as long as Liu Tao is carefully polished, Liu Tao's achievements in the future are really limitless. It's not impossible to surpass him.

Speaking of which, he has also been quite aggrieved over the years. He and the other three were known as the Four Heavenly Kings of the Jade Realm, and the other three had already accepted apprentices twenty or thirty years ago, but he had never been able to find a suitable apprentice. Because of this incident, he was often sneered at by the other three, and now that he had finally found an apprentice who satisfied him, and there was a successor, his ability finally did not need to be brought to the coffin.

But there is still a very real problem. That is, Liu Tao's knowledge of jade is really poor, and the knowledge of antiques and other things is estimated to be zero. I don't know what year or month it will be if I want to become a teacher. He didn't know if he would still be alive in this world at that time.

It was precisely because of this that he couldn't wait to rush back from the capital. He must teach what he has gained in his life in the shortest possible time, and as for how much Liu Tao can comprehend, it is not something he can master. The master leads the way and practices in the individual. This statement is true.

"Master, I see that your face is not very good, did you think of something that is not going to be faster?" Liu Tao asked tentatively beside him.

When he asked, he pulled Lin Lao back from his memories.

Lin Lao looked at him a little worried, shook his head, and said, "Liu Tao, you have to study hard in the future." I've accepted you as an apprentice in my life, you must be angry. ”

Liu Tao nodded vigorously and said, "Master, you can rest assured." I've taken a long leave from school, and I'll go back when it's time for the exams. During this time, I will study hard with you. ”

"Oh? Is it? Doesn't that delay your studies? After listening to what Liu Tao said, Lin Lao was stunned for a moment. Although he now wishes that Liu Tao could be with him all day long to learn all kinds of jade knowledge, Liu Tao personally said that he would be admitted to university, and he also agreed. Could it be that Liu Tao has changed his mind?

"No delays. We're in our third year of high school, and we're in the final sprint, and we're basically doing exercises every day. If I want to study, I can do it at home. In addition, I am mainly interested in jade now, and I want to know as much as possible about the industry. Liu Tao smiled and said what he thought in his heart. (To be continued.) )
