It is said that when Xie Bin was bargaining with Boss Liu, he once cut off Li Xiaojun's words, which made Li Xiaojun unforgettable. On the way back to the hotel, Li Xiaojun asked viciously, looking like Xie Bin would eat people if he dared not answer.

Xie Bin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Li, you are the successor of your company, don't you understand the most basic truth?" When you bargain in business in the future, don't talk to people. The kind of people who have a deep friendship naturally don't matter, but what about people with average friendships, people say okay, for your sake, I'll give you some. But the drop is not under your control, and the drop rarely meets your expectations, what should you do? Can you say it again? Just like today, if Boss Liu promised you and said, 'Okay, for Xiao Li's sake, it's 380,000, which has dropped to almost 100,000'. Brother Li, what will you say then? Do you want me to borrow money from you? ”

Li Xiaojun listened, half silent and speechless, Zhang Lu on the side was very excited when he heard it, and praised: "Brother Bin, you are so good, my father also said that you can't talk about friendship in the business field, and in a short time, 250,000 will become 23 million, but it will really make money, giggles, Xue Yuying seems to be blessed." ”

Xie Bin hurriedly interrupted: "Don't, I really don't have anything to do with Xue Yuying, don't talk nonsense, it's not good for her to spread it." In fact, with the emergence of Xie Bin's ability and the broadening of his horizons, his ambition has gradually grown. At the time when the stall was set up, Xie Bin didn't dare to hit Xue Yuying.

But now, don't look at what Xie Bin said resolutely, in fact, I really miss it in my heart, after all, Xue Yuying's girl is indeed very cute.

Li Xiaojun on the side listened to the words of his future daughter-in-law, and felt even more shocked, plus Xie Bin opened such high-end materials today, he was silent for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xie Bin has always been very confident in his abilities, but he didn't expect to make such a large amount of money. Twenty-three million, this is enough for Xie Bin to spend for several lifetimes. Looking at the amount of money in his account, Xie Bin was a little dazed for a while, and he didn't even know what to do next.

When he had no money, Xie Bin thought about buying a house, buying a car, marrying a daughter-in-law and having children, but now that he really has so much money, he suddenly found that the things he once longed for no longer seemed to be worth thinking about so much.

Is this the sorrow of the legendary rich man? Maybe he should be considered a rich man, Xie Bin laughed a little self-deprecatingly. I don't know how the billionaires live their lives.

The next day, Li Xiaojun found Xie Bin and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xie, how does it feel to be a rich man?" ”

Xie Bin smiled bitterly, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he rarely slept well last night, he always thought about his 23 million huge money, and he didn't sleep peacefully for a while all night, and it seemed that even the ability didn't have an effect. "Brother Li, don't laugh at me, I'm a rich man, I'm far worse than you."

"Cut, don't look at my family's money, in fact, the liquidity is not as much as yours, I'm even worse, it's not better than the average wage earner, haven't you seen a broken Hyundai driving all day long, if I have money, I will definitely change to a Humvee." Li Xiaojun disagreed with Xie Bin's words, and then asked, "Xiao Xie, when are you going to go back?" ”

Xie Bin was stunned, "What, you want to go back?" ”

"Yes, your stone is enough for our family to digest for a few years, there is still some stock of low-end materials, it can be said that the purpose of coming here this time has been achieved, and it is not interesting to stay, I think this time to follow that piece of material, it must maximize its value, but you don't have to worry, if you want to play again, you can stay for a few more days, after all, you came for the first time, and you went back in one day, it seems a little rushed, anyway, you are also a millionaire now, it's time to relax, the supporting entertainment industry here is very developed." Li Xiaojun regained his true colors and made a joke about Xie Bin, as if he had figured something out.

Xie Bin thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll play for a few more days, you have to be careful on the way back, don't worry, that stone can't run away." ”

"I know, I'm more experienced than you, okay, let's go, I don't have to come out," Li Xiaojun waved his hand impatiently and went out.

Although Li Xiaojun said so, Xie Bin hurriedly followed out and watched them get in the car and leave before returning to the hotel.

Looking at the splendid hotel, Xie Bin suddenly had a feeling that things were wrong. It's only been less than two days, and Xie Bin has suddenly changed from a poor boy who made a windfall on the floor to a billionaire with a net worth of tens of millions. This sudden change made Xie Bin a little difficult to accept for a while, and now, Xie Bin still recalls the prompt sound of the transfer in his mind.

Xie Bin stayed in the hotel all day, and only in the evening did he feel a little calmer. Thinking of his appearance, Xie Bin suddenly remembered a report he had once seen, saying that a company specialized in tracking and researching dozens of lottery winners. Among them, the highest prize is 360 million, and the lowest is more than 40 million, both in US dollars.

As a result, most of the winners did not live so happily, one of the old men, living with his wife and granddaughter, after winning the lottery, this old man became famous, partying all day long, drinking and having fun. As a result, this sudden windfall caused his wife to divorce him, and his nineteen-year-old granddaughter died in his luxury sports car due to an overdose. During this time, the old man's home had been burglarized, robbed, and charmed in bars, and most of them were done by his "friends". By the time the old man figured it out, it was already too late.

There are also some people who originally had their own careers, but after winning the lottery, not only did their careers disappear, but after a few years, even this large number of bonuses were squandered.

Of course, there are some people who have a better life, but these people are more modest, and they don't splurge because they have high bonuses.

For example, a British couple won 1.5 billion, but they did not change anything other than buying a pickup truck, but supported two welfare homes. The couple's local prestige also rose suddenly, and a judge at a local court said: "I don't think I can find a more suitable owner for this bonus than their couple." ”

Xie Bin recalled this report, and became vigilant in his heart, and kept warning himself that he must keep a normal heart and not be carried away by the windfall.

In the past, Xie Bin had also thought about how to maintain his true colors and humility when he was rich, but now it seems that this seems to be a little difficult. Especially after the emptiness of a huge fortune has made you achieve your wishes, it is easy to lose yourself. According to the ancient Chinese saying, there is no happiness to enjoy, or people's lives are not hard, and they can't afford such great luck.

Xie Bin doesn't want to be called a nouveau riche and let wealth turn him into another person. Thinking of this, Xie Bin decided to make himself forget about this huge wealth for a while, and after thinking about it, Xie Bin thought of his old job.

Carving, and only dedicated carving can make Xie Bin temporarily forget about his affairs outside his body.

As soon as he thought of it, Xie Bin took out a piece of selected almond and a carving knife hidden in the necklace space, and began to carve by hand. Before carving, Xie Bin did not conceive or draw, but directly used the knife, the knife went as he wanted, and carved there when he thought of it.

At the beginning, Xie Bin was still a little unable to concentrate, but with the stroke of the carving knife, as the sawdust landed, and as the wood gradually thinned, Xie Bin's mind slowly immersed himself in a carving knife and a piece of wood.

This unprecedented dedication made time fly by, and by the time Xie Bin put down the carving knife with satisfaction, the sky was already bright. And Xie Bin's results all night also made him very satisfied.

When this piece of wood was first carved, it was a little scattered because it did not conceive the layout, but carved haphazardly, but then Xie Bin had a flash of inspiration and sketched the image of a naughty little girl in his mind.

The layout of the whole wood carving is relatively rare, and it is a little girl walking mischievously on the stone pier of a stone bridge. The little girl stepped on the bridge pier with one foot, lifted her foot slightly and stepped forward, and her arms were slightly spread asymmetrically, so that the little girl's body remained balanced. On the whole, the whole work is full of childlike fun and life, especially the little girl's trembling movements and slightly nervous and cheerful expression, which adds a lot to the work.

It's just that I don't have the tools in my hand now, so I can't polish it, and I don't have to do the details of my facial hair and clothes.

With a long breath, Xie Bin's heart suddenly calmed down, he didn't sleep all night, and he didn't feel tired, but he was full of energy. Taking a shower in the bathroom, looking at his slightly dark skin and strong muscles in the mirror, Xie Bin's mood became very good, very good.

Xie Bin only knew at this time how much wealth his grandfather had left him. Perhaps, there is nothing too valuable, not only did not let him continue to go to school, but also made his life so difficult. But his grandfather left him a strong heart and a peaceful heart, but he benefited immensely in this life. If it weren't for Xie Bin's grandfather's influence on him so deeply, I don't know what Xie Bin would have become now.

Xie Bin now thinks about the second half of his grandfather's life, and the child can describe it in four words, that is, "pampered and not shocked". Really, Xie Bin has never seen his grandfather angry about something since he was a child, nor was he excited about something, and it seems that there is nothing that can bother him except for carving, writing, and painting.

It is said that once Xie Bin followed his grandfather to help the family carve flowers on furniture, and after the matter was completed, the family immediately changed their faces, dissatisfied here, dissatisfied there, and finally only gave one-third of the salary. The old man didn't care about it, and went home with tools and Xie Bin Shi Ran. Xie Bin, who was just twelve years old, was already sensible, and at first he thought that the old man would definitely feel uncomfortable, and he was careful to do things for fear of making his grandfather angry. But seeing the old man writing and painting that he didn't care about at all, Xie Bin wondered and asked him why his grandfather wasn't angry. Xie Bin's grandfather was stunned and asked, "Why are you angry?" "It was a matter of course for the Buddha to withhold his wages.

As Xie Bin gets older and older, the more Xie Bin admires his grandfather, especially the sentence with a shocked expression, "Why are you angry? It has always been deeply imprinted in Xie Bin's mind. Moreover, Xie Bin feels more and more that the old man's words contain infinite life philosophy and endless life experience.

Until now, after Xie Bin encounters something, he often asks himself, "Why should I be angry?" "Why should I be frustrated?" "Why should I regret it?" Wait a minute. It's just that the old man's indifference and refinement from the heart are something that Xie Bin can't imitate now. It is a state of life that requires complex life experience and infinite life wisdom to comprehend.

Not to mention other foreign objects, it is Xie Bin, the grandson, the old man does not control it very much, but Xie Bin helps him wash clothes, cook, take care of his life and so on. But the old man is like this, and the more Xie Bin feels that the old man is different. And Xie Bin, who has been obedient and well-behaved and smart since he was a child, learned these things from his grandfather, which also benefited him immensely in his life.

Now, Xie Bin understands why people often say that they have to maintain a normal heart, and many people have shouted that they have not understood what a normal heart is after a lifetime. But Xie Bin now understands that that is the mentality of being able to deal with the ups and downs of life calmly, and it is precisely because of this that Xie Bin feels that those people can maintain a normal heart at all times, and how strong self-control and life wisdom are needed.

Speaking of which, the reason why Xie Bin can maintain a normal heart now is because his self-control is very strong, and he forcibly suppresses the turmoil in his heart, and he can't be as indifferent from the heart as his grandfather.

Looking at the small ornaments in his hand, Xie Bin suddenly regretted giving those two works to Xue Yuying. Thinking about it now, those two pieces must have been very carefully made by his grandfather, and they were given to others like this, Xie Bin felt that he had failed his grandfather's hard work. But then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, his grandfather would definitely not care about the whereabouts of these two works, otherwise he would not have given Xie Bin some explanation.

In fact, thinking about it, Xie Bin didn't need to drop out of school at that time, as long as he sold these works, he could still pay Xie Bin tuition and fees for two or three years. It's just that Xie Bin didn't realize at that time that these wood carvings that were randomly placed by his grandfather would be so valuable, and at that time, antiques were still a very niche project, and ordinary people didn't know much, Xie Bin just wanted to sell them, and he didn't know where to sell them.

Of course, thinking about this now is because Xie Bin has figured it out. When he was a child, Xie Bin complained about his grandfather in his heart, and now he realizes that his grandfather is unique. Let's put it this way, Xie Bin's grandfather may not be the best grandfather, but he must be the best life mentor.

Xie Bin cleaned up the sawdust in the room, put them in the trash can, and cleaned them up before going out. Xie Bin has developed the habit of cleaning the garbage since he was a child, which was not taught to him by his grandfather, but if he doesn't clean, his grandfather won't be able to clean. Only on the antique street, because there were sanitation workers, Xie Bin didn't pay attention to this, and was said by Xue Yuying. No matter where he was since then, Xie Bin has paid attention to this.

When he went out this time, Xie Bin was planning to wander around this street, after all, he had only come here for a while, and he hadn't carefully observed it.

There are so many shops on the street, so many materials, and all kinds of them, although the gold content is not very high, but it is very suitable for practice. Anyway, there are a lot of rookies who come here to practice, in fact, it is exactly the case, what better place to be a novice than here?

There are a lot of people on the street, there are many stones, and you can see others cutting stones from time to time, even if you don't make a move, just look and listen, and become an old bird after half a year. If you have a few spare money, buy a few stones and cut them yourself, so as to ensure faster growth.

Xie Bin has a special ability, and it is not bad to be able to cut out stones, but if he doesn't know anything every day but repeatedly cuts out good materials, anyone will wonder if he Xie Bin is cheating. Therefore, it is necessary to have the necessary knowledge, even if it is just to fool people, and to learn more.

Besides, experience and that knowledge can sometimes make a difference. It is said that there is a businessman in a certain city in the south who specializes in gambling on cracks, and through his own experience and eyesight, he bets on those cracked stones that others dare not bet on, just like the stone that Xie Bin gambled on. And he was able to gamble and rise again and again, because he had a unique set of experience and know-how, and he could keenly observe how the crack of this stone grew.

There are also some gambling on color, gambling on water, all of which are the same. It can be seen that this gambling stone is not completely irregular, it depends on whether you can find and master it. Speaking of which, gambling stones are really peculiar, don't look at this experience and know-how are all set in one, but there is no way to teach, at most pointing, the main thing is to rely on their own personal experience and accumulated observation. Otherwise, wouldn't those experienced masters pass down their experience from generation to generation?

In fact, if you seriously investigate it, this gambling stone line really needs very professional people to play, which not only involves things such as jadeite skin, but also involves scientific knowledge such as geography and physics. Without a certain cultural foundation and talent, it is difficult to memorize these basic knowledge.

Walking slowly from the street, Xie Bin felt quite good. In the past, Xie Bin observed customers as a stall owner, but now he is observing the stall owner as a customer, and this sudden change in role makes Xie Bin feel very novel.

To be honest, there are still a lot of wool materials on this street that can cut out stones, but the value is different, not only the best jadeite of imperial green, but also the waste of the shit field, of course, there are fake materials on some stalls, Xie Bin even saw someone take a piece of marble and sell it as wool.

Xie Bin was able to recognize marble because he had been in contact with it when he was doing carving, and he had seen these materials on the Internet. As for others, such as water foam, aventurine stone, or something, Xie Bin can't distinguish them for the time being if he doesn't use his abilities.

Walking on the street, looking down one by one, I used my abilities to experience it from time to time, and found that the material on the street was really much different from what Li Xiaojun said, which was indeed a bit miserable. Xie Bin looked at more than twenty pieces of material, and none of them could make Xie Bin look at it. But think about the warehouse of Boss Liu's house, those materials are like that, and it is understandable that the street is so bad.

Although the materials on this street are generally not outstanding, the price is very cheap, you can get a piece for a few dozen yuan at a low point, and tens of thousands of yuan at a high point, which is already very high-end. If you can find a piece of high-grade jadeite from it, it will be a big leak. However, the attraction of gambling stones is precisely this, because no one knows whether there will be a piece of superb jade material under the humble stone skin.

Unconsciously, Xie Bin walked in front of Boss Liu's shop. Seeing Xie Bin, the proprietress greeted her, "Xiao Xie, why is you alone today?" ”

Xie Bin smiled, "Those two honeymoons are gone," so he won't be like Li Xiaojun who has no scruples about revealing other people's information. Although this is not a big deal, it is not always a good thing to talk too much, this may be a little trick for Xie Bin to stand on, the long-mouthed woman is the most unpopular.

"Hehe, come in and sit alone? Want to stop looking at two stones? The proprietress blinked and reached out to pull Xie Bin's arm.

Xie Bin hurriedly flashed, and suddenly felt that this was not very polite, so he hurriedly spoke: "What, it's okay to look at the stones, but it's not on this stall, but to go to the warehouse to have a look, of course, I can't guarantee that I will pay for it." ”
