Chapter Twenty-Eight: Shot

Xie Bin looked at Xue Yuying in surprise, "You really want it?" Do you still play this? ”

"What? If you can play, I can't? There's a lot more I like to play with," Xue Yuying said proudly.

Xie Bin smiled and shook his head, "You want to sell it to you for 500,000, how about it?" ”

"Half a million?" Xue Yuying's eyes blinked, and she turned her head to Li Jingjing and asked, "Jingjing, is this piece worth 500,000?" ”

"This stone weighs less than a catty, half blooded, translucent, waxy, and the hardness is unknown, but the blood color is vermilion, and it is said to sell for less than 500,000, but this stone is very clean, without a single flaw, the playability is very high, and it is an old pit, if it is placed in the hands of someone who likes it, 500,000 is not impossible." I can't see that Li Jingjing is quite professional. To be honest, Xie Bin really didn't know much about the market, but he shouted this price based on his general feeling, thinking about whether he could scare Xue Yuying away. Although there are also half-blood stones, but there are not many, one is that the resources have been exhausted in the past two years, Changhua has almost finished mining, and the materials in other places are not very good, so this good bloodstone is getting less and less, and the price is naturally getting more and more expensive.

Xie Bin's piece of material, shouting 500,000 yuan, whether it is high or not, whether it is low or not, is just on the threshold, I have to say that these years of stall practice have greatly improved Xie Bin's valuation ability. It's just that Xie Bin obviously underestimated Xue Yuying's financial resources and determination, "What if I even want this small piece together?" ”

When Xie Bin heard Xue Yuying's words, he quickly shook his head, "Don't, I won't sell this piece for a lot of money!" "Xie Bin no longer understands the market, and he knows that such material is absolutely the best in ten thousand, how can it change hands? Anyway, if he really sells it, he may regret it for the rest of his life. This kind of material is not something you can find if you want to, and if you are unlucky, you may not be able to find a second piece in your life.

"Five million won't be sold?" Xue Yuying tempted.

"Fifty million won't sell!" Xie Bin's attitude was very resolute.

Xue Yuying nodded, "Okay, I'm going to have this piece of half-blood, alas, you guy, you don't know where to get these good things, if there are good ones next time, don't forget to inform me." ”

Xie Bin hurriedly nodded, Miss Xue seems to have a lot of money, she should be a businessman in the family, otherwise where could her spend so much on his father's salary? Even if you have extra money, you don't dare to expose it so arrogantly. Later, Xie Bin learned that Xue Yuying's mother was a well-known businesswoman in China, and the family's business was very large.

Soon, the crab roe and prawns and side dishes were complete, looking at the table full of seafood, Liu Wenqing drooled a little, and Xie Bin did the same. In the past, I was really reluctant to eat this guy, it was too expensive, I couldn't buy two for a hundred yuan, and as for the prawns, it was even more exaggerated. In other words, ordinary families in the island city only buy some food during the New Year's holiday, or limit it. If people let go of their stomachs to eat, a family of three is estimated to eat two months' salary in one meal. Of course, small shrimp are not among them, although they are not cheap, but they are still within the affordable range of ordinary families.

After eating and drinking, Li Jingjing took Xie Bin's stone and asked, "What seal do you want to carve?" ”

"Font size print, well, just engrave a 'Xie Shishan person', how about it?" Xie Bin thought about it and replied, this font was thought of by him in a flash of inspiration, and he felt very satisfied.

Li Jingjing whispered again, "Yes, not only does my surname represent my identity, but also has the meaning of thanking jade, but it is chic, okay, I will bring this stone back, I guarantee that you will be satisfied." ”

"Hey, Jingjing, let's not bring this, heavy color and light friends, patronizing him, what about mine?" Xue Yuying, who was on the side, asked with wide eyes.

"Yours, I guess you'll have to pay for your own handwork, what do you want to carve?" Li Jingjing didn't save face for her best friend at all.

"This," Xue Yuying was obviously not mentally prepared, and she could think of it for a while, and suddenly turned her head to Xie Bin and asked, "What kind of words do you say is good to engrave?" ”

Xie Bin said with a smile: "Just engrave your name, and if you are promoted in the future, when you sign it, you can take it out and 'snap-', how handsome!" ”

"Go and go, what a bad idea, hurry up and think of a good one, it's best like Jingjing, it's both meaningful and interesting," Xue Yuying's requirements were quite high.

Xie Bin thought about it and said seriously: "Well, then engrave a 'Xue Yuying is a big beauty', hahaha, I promise that those who have seen it will never forget it." ”

"Death, Xie Bin, hmph, I can't think of a satisfactory one, today Miss Ben will take you back and let you squat in the room for two days," Xue Yuying said through gritted teeth.

Xie Bin hurriedly waved his hand: "Let's not bring this, you have only been working for a few days, how can you use your power for personal gain?" That's not good! ”

"Cut, then you should hurry up and think of a good font," Xue Yuying snorted lightly.

Xie Bin said with a sad face: "This needs inspiration, how can you come up with a good name without inspiration, why don't you let Li Jingjing try it?" ”

Xue Yuying squinted at Li Jingjing, looking like you don't want to walk out of this door vertically if you don't have a good idea.

Li Jingjing was not polite, and suggested: "I think your real name is very good, so let's engrave 'Xue's Yuying', how about it?" ”

"No, no, you two are cheating, no, I want to be a little more specific," I don't know who is cheating, Xue Yuying's appearance is very rare.

Xie Bin and Li Jingjing glanced at each other, this is a difficult job, but then Xie Bin had an idea and said: "'Xue Yu Changying', through 'Xue Yu Changying', this is chic enough, it is not only a name, but also a font size, and it is also an idiom print, killing three birds with one stone, and the meaning is very auspicious." ”

"This", Xue Yuying thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, even if you pass the test, Jingjing, please leave it to you." ”

Xie Bin checked out and ate a small 2,000 yuan for a meal, this is not drinking, and the girl doesn't eat much after all, if it is replaced by three or four men, the small 5,000 yuan is estimated to be enough. Fortunately, Xie Bin has just received 500,000 yuan, and there is no pressure to have a few more meals like this.

Xue Yuying and Li Jingjing each went back to their respective homes, and Xie Bin was responsible for sending Liu Wenqing home. Tonight, this girl was a little stimulated, she was a little girl who had just graduated from high school, and she felt very incredible when she saw Xue Yuying spend 500,000 yuan to buy a stone to engrave a seal to play. She also looked at the two stones, and they were very beautiful, but she couldn't figure out how they could be so valuable. Moreover, the small one, Xie Bin didn't sell it no matter how much it was, which made her even more puzzled, "Brother Xie, is that stone really not sold for 50 million?" ”

Xie Bin was stunned, he didn't expect this girl to ask such a question, and said with a smile: "Naturally, unless I am poor and will starve to death, I won't sell it for much money." ”

"Why?" Liu Wenqing tilted her head sideways, her bright eyes stared directly at Xie Bin, and her innocent and curious eyes made Xie Bin feel a little embarrassed, as if he was heinous if he didn't answer this question.

But the problem is that this question is really difficult to answer, and after thinking about it, I can say: "Girl, in this world, not everything can be exchanged for money, such as a happy mood." He said and explained: "I like this stone very much, don't ask why I like it, like it is like, like it is better than liking 50 million or more money, because money can be made again, but this stone is just such a piece, even if there is a better stone, it will not be this one." If I miss this piece, maybe I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

Okay, Xie Bin's words are false, he should have fooled the little girl. It's nice that he's very fond of this stone, but it's not that serious. If Xie Bin is still a poor boy who sets up a stall, no matter how much he likes it, he will make a move, and he will even worry about the money for eating, what is the intention to enjoy the gems?

But then again, Xie Bin is really right, these natural gems, each of which is a unique treasure in this world, is a gift from nature to human beings. Xie Bin was able to get such a stone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was lucky. From the beginning of Changhua, there were accidents everywhere, a certain ring was slightly staggered, Xie Bin couldn't get this stone, and even Wang Ying might not be able to pick it up. When Xie Bin has money, he may not be able to buy such a stone.

sent Liu Wenqing back to the place where their family was temporarily staying, rejected Liu Wenqing's suggestion to invite him to her house to sit, and took a taxi back to the Luyuan community alone.

Xie Bin, who was idle, completed the last two processes of the little girl's wood carving. After the completion of the work, Xie Bin himself felt that this work was really creative, and the wood that was almost broken was then outlined by Xie Bin and turned into a naughty little girl and a base in the shape of a small bridge. Coupled with Xie Bin's concentration on moving the knife at that time, it seems to have entered a state of selflessness, and the knife work of this work is obviously much stronger than the previous works, the lines feel very smooth, and there is a little more atmosphere.

Now that the final process of the work has been completed, Xie Bin feels that his craft has improved again. This is not to say that Xie Bin had an epiphany or had an adventure or something, but the so-called accumulation. Over the years, Xie Bin has been carving for a living, almost every day to create without leaving the knife, although most of the works are for selling money, and do not put too much thought into creativity, but after so many years of hard work accumulation, coupled with the inspiration of Mr. Liu and Xie Chengwen, Xie Bin can break through his own level, that is also a matter of course.

Taking advantage of his good hand, Xie Bin made two embryos in a row, both of which were small objects that Wang Zi liked. Xie Bin's ability has become stronger, which is also a huge boost to his carving skills, making carving easier. Xie Bin felt that if he saved a little, it would be enough to do wood carving for a whole day, after all, carving wood consumes less ability than detecting stone, because when carving, you don't need the ability to go deep into the wood, you only need to ensure the sharpness of the carving blade.

When he got up in the morning, Xie Bin ran as usual, but after running, he had one more basic exercise, tai chi. This Tai Chi Xie Bin learned a good look, but as for the specific effect, Xie Bin doesn't know yet, but it is enough to move the body to relax the mood. It's just that boxing in the park in the morning, and the curious people seem to be a little more. In this park on Xie Bin's side, there are many old men and old ladies who get up early to exercise, but there are no boxers. Every time I pass by, there are always people who look at Xie Bin curiously, and some even stand not far away to watch directly.

Fortunately, Xie Bin's mental quality is good, otherwise he would have been unable to stand it a long time ago. It seems that when you set up a stall, you get a lot more attention than when you practice boxing. It's a pity that the onlookers are all old men and old ladies, there are no young ones, and young women are even rarer, and the beauty who gets up early is still just a legend.

The next day, Xie Bin was learning jade knowledge on the Internet, and Li Jingjing called. The phone number was exchanged only last night.

"Xie Bin, are you free now?" Li Jingjing's voice is somewhat similar to her person, colder, with fewer changes in tone, but a little softer, and it sounds very comfortable.

"Yes, what's the matter? Is it a problem with the stones? Xie Bin thought about it, it seems that the current intersection with Li Jingjing is only that superb bloodstone.
