Chapter Seventy-Two: The First Talk About Gambling Stones
hung up Boss Song's phone, Wang Dong called Cai Zhiming and asked him to talk about insurance. After Wang Dong called Uncle Cai yesterday, Uncle Cai called to inform Cai Zhiming, so Cai Zhiming knew about this and went to his house at noon.
After lying on the bed for a while, Wang Dong called Zhang Li and asked her to go to Cai Zhiming's house with him now.
Zhang Li has been looking forward to it for a long time, although she is a little unaccustomed to Cai Zhiming's style of acting, but she knows from Wang Dong's mouth that he is a super big customer, who will have trouble with money? And she failed to sign a big order last month, and this month has not been negotiated, and her father's medical expenses have been stretched, and she needs a large order. After receiving Wang Dong's call, he rushed over with relevant documents non-stop.
I don't know where Cai Zhiming heard about Wang Dong's cooking skills, so he paid attention to Wang Dong when he came to his house at noon, and notified Brother Ye and Lin Yun. Wang Dong came to their house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw three pairs of round eyes looking at him, and the most unfortunate was Lin Yun, who actually had a mouthful.
Looking at their ghostly appearances, Wang Dong couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?" Why are you looking at me like that? Zhang Li next to her was also creepy, these three guys were like three hungry wolves, and their eyes were all hooked.
"Brother Wang, will you show your hands at noon today? Brother Ye said that the dishes you cook are peerless, better than those made by the master of the Kyoto Hotel, so that the brothers can satisfy their hunger? Cai Zhiming got up and said, Wang Dong hadn't spoken yet, Ye Wenhao had already complained: "Brother Wang, since I ate the meal you made last time, I don't have any taste for anything now, so I'll show my hands today, right?" ”
"Brother Wang, I'm hungry." Lin Yun said uncontrollably.
Wang Dong was stunned, these three guys were also born into famous families, but they didn't expect to be a greedy insect, especially Lin Yun, Wang Dong was ashamed to be with him. Isn't it just a meal, it is necessary to shed a mouthful. Zhang Li was also stunned, she had also eaten Wang Dong's dishes, but it was good, but it didn't seem to be as exaggerated as they showed, right?
Coughing, Wang Dong cleared his throat and said, "Okay, anyway, it's time to eat later, I'll fry two dishes." It was difficult to refuse, Wang Dong rolled up his sleeves and prepared to work in the kitchen, thinking about it, he said to Cai Zhiming: "Sister Li, show the contract to Brother Ming, and see if there are any questions." ”
"Yes." Zhang Li answered, took out the contract and handed it to Cai Zhiming, Cai Zhiming took it, flipped two pages casually, and didn't look closely, so he signed it quickly, returned it to Zhang Li, and said: "Brother and sister, in the afternoon or tomorrow, I will ask the company's accountant to send the money over." ”
"Thank you, it's really troublesome Cai Shao." Zhang Li said gratefully, the contract is the contract that Wang Dong sorted out last time, when he met with Wang Dong before, he saw that the insurance amount on the contract was as high as more than 20 million, and he was taken aback, and at the same time beat a side drum in his heart, thinking that it was likely to be impossible to negotiate, but Cai Shao didn't say anything at all, just simply looked at it, and signed the contract, Zhang Li knew that it must be for Wang Dong's face, and she was very grateful to Wang Dong in her heart.
"Thank you, you have to buy insurance anyway, it's not the same from anyone, it's better to buy it from an acquaintance." Cai Zhiming said with a smile: "Brother and sister, don't call me anything Cai Shao, just like Brother Wang, just call me Brother Ming, I really envy you, I have a good mouth in this life." ”
"yes, why didn't I become a woman when I was reincarnated?" Lin Yun said with a depressed face.
"Get out of the calf, just like you bear, even if you become a woman, Brother Wang won't take a fancy to it." Cai Zhiming said with a top bar.
"How do you know? You're not Brother Wang, how do you know what he thinks? Lin Yun retorted angrily.
"Then you go to Dagoryeo and come back, do some kind of surname change surgery, you see if Brother Wang will take a fancy to you." Cai Zhiming said brightly.
"You ......" Lin Yun wilted this time, and he had nothing to say. Watching the two of them fighting back and forth, Zhang Li couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and at this time, Wang Dong's voice came from the kitchen: "Sister Li, come and help." Zhang Li answered, smiled at Cai Zhiming, Lin Yun, and Ye Wenhao, and entered the kitchen.
Forty minutes later, Wang Dong and Zhang Li walked out of the kitchen, one of them served a plate in his hand, and there were four or five Cai in the kitchen, and asked Cai Zhiming to go in and serve it.
Dinner!
Three minutes later, Cai Zhiming's mouth was full, and he said vaguely: "Lin Yun, didn't you say yesterday that you have been indigestion recently?" You have to eat less, otherwise you will really have indigestion. ”
"Brother Ye, didn't you say that you've been a little hot lately? Don't eat it if it's so greasy, so as not to get worse. Lin Yun's mouth was also full, and he said vaguely.
"Zhiming, this is your home, as the host, shouldn't you be humble and save some for our guests to eat?" Ye Wenhao was not to be outdone.
"Brother and sister, you eat less, these things are high in fat and easy to gain weight."
"Yes, brother and sister, you eat less, when do you want to eat, let Brother Wang do it, we have been on the scene for ten years, it's not easy."
"Yes, brother and sister... Leave me a piece. ”
"Okay, don't shout, if you want to eat in the future, come to my store to eat, I plan to open a healthy hot pot restaurant." Wang Dong interrupted.
"Really? When will it open, and I will go to the show? ”
"I'll go too."
"I can't do without me."
"I just selected the store, and I plan to renovate it in two days, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to open." Wang Dong said.
"Oh, there's still some time, you and I have to eat more today."
"Don't move, that's mine."
"Zhiming, you can't stuff it in your mouth, don't stuff it anymore.
"Ah, I'm full, it's delicious." Zhang Li wiped her mouth and said, looking at Wang Dong with a wicked smile.
"Brother and sister are so good, don't move, this piece of meat was left to me by my brother and sister."
"Whoever said it, it was clearly left to me." As he spoke, he unceremoniously stuffed it into his mouth.
……
Half an hour later, the cups and plates on the table were in a mess, Cai Zhiming, Lin Yun, and Ye Wenhao had their stomachs bulging, leaning back on the chairs, and their faces were happy.
Looking at the three of them foodies, Wang Dong couldn't cry or laugh for a while, he still underestimated the ability of these three guys, he ate all ten dishes, he was only half full, although Zhang Li was also full, but she had a small stomach.
At this time, Wang Dong thought of Uncle Cai who rushed to Lijiang, as well as Uncle De and Uncle Ma who went before, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Ming, Brother Ye, do you know what Uncle Cai, Uncle De, and Uncle Ma are doing in Lijiang, Yunnan?" ”
"I don't know, my dad didn't tell me before he left." Cai Zhiming shook his head and said, Wang Dong looked at Brother Ye, Brother Ye thought about it and said: "Some time ago, an ancient tomb was excavated in Lijiang, Yunnan, no, it is an ancient tomb comparable to the size of the city, and a lot of cultural relics have been unearthed in it, Uncle De and Uncle Ma went for this, as for Uncle Cai, I don't know." ”
"An ancient tomb the size of a city? Is it an imperial mausoleum? Wang Dong couldn't help but ask in surprise, it seems that there is no one comparable to the city of the emperor's mausoleum unearthed so far, right? Moreover, Lijiang, Yunnan, whether it is modern or ancient, is a frontier, and the emperor's mausoleum will not be buried there at all.
"I don't know about that." Brother Ye shook his head and said.
"Brother Ye, Brother Wang, why don't we go and have a good time? Maybe you can still see ancient corpses, and I also heard that gambling stones are prevalent in Tengchong, Yunnan, and we can also play gambling stones if we can't see ancient corpses? Lin Yun proposed.
"Now is not a good time to gamble on stones, it is better to wait until next year, the remaining wool is basically old, rotten in the hands, and the water color is not good." Ye Wenhao interrupted, and then said: "Actually, if you want to play gambling stones, it is best to go to Myanmar, where the annual public market is the most exciting. ”
"Brother Ye, have you ever been to Yangon? I have also heard of gambling stones and excitement, but so far I have not had the opportunity to gamble, when I was in Beijing, I also went to some wool gambling stones, but those wool are the same as stones, I can't see half of the green, so I haven't bought it. Lin Yun said with some embarrassment.
"I haven't been to Yangon, but Tengchong has been there several times, but I was unlucky, and I returned in defeat." Ye Wenhao shook his head and said.
"Oh." Lin Yun answered and pleaded, "Brother Ye, have a chance to take me along." ”
"I really don't know what you guys think, is it so interesting to gamble on stones? I can't get any interest in it, it's still fun to race. Cai Zhiming said disagreeingly.
"Gambling on stones is playing with money, and the result is nothing more than the same, making and losing, and your racing car is betting on life, if there is really something unexpected one day, it will be too late to regret it." Ye Wenhao persuaded.
"No, I'm very skilled." Cai Zhiming said indifferently, Ye Wenhao no longer persuaded him, everyone has the right to choose.
Gambling stones, Wang Dong has also heard of it, and he knows a little. In fact, in the early days, there was a gambling stone, but at that time it was only limited to the border cities of Yunnan, and with the improvement of people's living standards, the gambling stone gradually spread, popular in the major provincial and sub-provincial cities, and now some small cities have also set off the wind of gambling stones.
Zhang Li didn't know what a gambling stone was, and asked curiously: "Wang Dong, what is a gambling stone?" ”
"To put it bluntly, gambling stones are cut stones, but these stones are not ordinary stones, but a kind of stone that may have jadeite inside, called wool. The price of it is also very expensive, ranging from a few hundred, thousands, tens of thousands, to hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens ......of millions," Wang Dong explained.
"So expensive?" Zhang Li was taken aback, and looked very incredulous, who would be willing to spend hundreds of thousands, millions to buy a stone?
"Yes." Wang Dong responded and continued: "There is a saying in the gambling stone industry, gold is priceless and jade is priceless, if a piece of wool is cut out of a good seed, its value will also rise, and it is possible to multiply several times, dozens of times, and hundreds of times. ”
"So crazy?" Zhang Li looked at Wang Dong in disbelief.
"Brother Wang, why don't you take your younger siblings and Brother Ye to Tengchong to play gambling stones in the spring next year?" Lin Yun proposed.
"I don't have any opinion." Ye Wenhao was the first to express his approval.
"That's okay, let's go play in the spring next year." Wang Dong said casually, Zhang Li couldn't help but feel nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really going to go?" Thinking of the price of gambling stones, Zhang Li couldn't help but feel a burst of fear, really want to take hundreds of thousands, millions to gamble on stones?
"Well, just go and have fun, and when the time comes, you will buy the wool in the photo, and if you don't have it, you will be a tourist." Wang Dong said casually. Zhang Li answered and didn't speak again, she had a bit of a husband and wife like this, in fact, since she didn't resist Ye Wenhao's younger brother and sister, the relationship with Wang Dong quietly took a step forward.
