Chapter 6: Mocui
Xie Bin followed the proprietress into the store, and Boss Liu was drinking tea with an old man. As soon as he entered, Boss Liu pointed at Xie Bin and laughed: "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, no, the main lord is here," he said and stood up and greeted Xie Bin, "Haha, I thought you had gone back, how about it?" What does it feel like to be a multi-millionaire? ”
Xie Bin hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't!" Boss Liu, just laugh at me, my little money is far worse than yours, and you don't have less than 10 million stones in the warehouse alone! "This is a fact, I don't know how many stones in Boss Liu's warehouse are just plain materials, plus the half-gambling materials and the full-gambling wool materials, it does add up to more than 20 million. It is said that the one who can play on this street is not a multimillionaire or even a billionaire.
"Xiao Xie, why, don't you want to call me Brother Liu? This boss's name is too angry," Boss Liu's face sank, and he seemed to be very angry at Xie Bin's title.
Xie Bin smiled bitterly, this Boss Liu is really good at pulling relationships, but anyone starts from this step, and this Boss Liu just shortens the process. If it were Xie Bin, Xie Bin would say the same. "Brother Liu, Brother Liu is good!" Xie Bin hurriedly gave up.
Boss Liu smiled happily and pulled Xie Bin's arm, "Come, Xiao Xie, let me introduce you, this is the vice president of our National Jade Association, Old Man Zhang," and then introduced to the old man who was in good spirits: "Old Zhang, this is Xiao Xie who took my piece of material, Xie Bin!" ”
Old Man Zhang smiled and nodded: "Xiao Xie is amazing, I haven't dared to start with that piece of material for a long time, and I still have the courage of a young man." ”
Xie Bin smiled bitterly: "Brother Liu, Old Man Zhang, didn't you come here to praise me, right?" To tell the truth, I was really lucky with that stone, I couldn't afford to buy an expensive one, so I could only buy that one, and I had less than 300,000 yuan on me. ”
Old man Zhang didn't care about Xie Bin's defense, "That's also very powerful, I don't know how many people have seen that stone, but they didn't dare to start, hahaha, speaking of which, my old guy still regrets it, otherwise I would be a multimillionaire now." ”
Boss Liu hurriedly complimented: "Hehe, that's bad luck, if you want to talk about playing with wool, you call it second, who dares to call it first." ”
When Xie Bin heard this, he said in his heart that this old man is really so powerful? However, to become the vice president of the National Jade Association, it seems that there should be two brushes. It is said that playing jade is similar to playing antiques, people don't care how rich you are, what they care about is whether you have vision. The stronger your eyesight, the more respect you receive. If you want to talk about money, whether it is playing antiques or jade and jade, rich people abound, but there are only a few who have vision.
"Xiao Xie, has that piece of material really arrived at the glass plant?" Old Man Zhang asked with great concern.
"This," to be honest, Xie Bin really didn't know that he hadn't reached the glass species, just after wiping the stone yesterday, as soon as the flashlight shone, Li Xiaojun pulled Xie Bin aside, and it only took two or three minutes to wait until the transfer was completed, and then Li Xiaojun took the stone away. "It should be a little bit in the center that can reach the glass species, and the rest is the ice species, but the color is insufficient, and the yang green is a little tender, which should be regarded as between boxwood green and yang green."
"That's not easy, good material, I think it's beautiful, I've seen a lot of glass jewelry over the years, but I haven't seen much glass material just cut." Old man Zhang said regretfully.
Xie Bin agrees with this, the freshly cut material and the finished product that has been called jewelry ornaments are two completely different aesthetics. The freshly cut stone still has so many flaws, but it is precisely in this way that the jadeite in the middle of the flaws that can be better reflected is more beautiful and moving, Xie Bin cut the stone, and shined it with a flashlight, which is completely transparent, and the kind of shining color is really very beautiful. Xie Bin now regrets selling too early, and he should have played for two days before selling.
But then again, how many ordinary people can be indifferent in the face of the huge sum of twenty-three million? Xie Bin thought that his concentration was still very good, but as soon as he heard Li Xiaojun's offer, he agreed in a daze. In fact, when Boss Liu quoted 15 million, Xie Bin was ready to nod, if it wasn't for Li Xiaojun's presence, it is estimated that Xie Bin would have sold 15 million.
Now that I think about it, Li Xiaojun is really cheap, not to mention anything else, just the glass material in the center, if you can get it right, it is estimated that the cost will almost be earned, as for the ice material outside, it is pure profit.
But I can't say anything about this, some people may think that Xie Bin sold at a loss, or that Li Xiaojun is too uninteresting. But from Xie Bin's point of view, he is also a big winner, and his 250,000 yuan suddenly became 25 million.
If you want to say that the most depressed person can only be Boss Liu, but Boss Liu also made a profit, although not very much. But just like Boss Liu, he sells so many stones, and there are not a few that cut up, if Boss Liu feels that his stones are sold at a loss every time, then he doesn't do anything all day long, and specializes in cutting stones.
Similarly, the same is true for Xie Bin, since you are selling materials, you must let the buyers make money, otherwise who will buy your materials? For Xie Bin now, there seems to be no difference between 23 million and 30 million. Now think about it, how long will it take to spend so much money? Guys, tell me, what would you do if you suddenly got such a large sum of money?
The three of them sat together and told some stories and jokes in the jade shop, Boss Liu couldn't sit still, and smiled at Xie Bin: "Xiao Xie, go pick two more stones to play?" ”
"This ......" Actually, Xie Bin didn't plan to pick two more stones immediately, but he just felt that he had made a lot of money here, and if he didn't express it, he would be embarrassed. looked at Old Man Zhang and nodded: "Okay, pick another piece to try your luck." "Anyway, I came here today, and there is such an old man present, no matter whether you can meet a good piece of material or not, the experience of rising is always right.
The three of them entered Boss Liu's warehouse again, and Xie Bin smiled at Boss Liu: "Brother Liu, if the little brother gambles again, don't be angry." ”
"Go, go, hurry up and pick up the stones, what kind of stones have you never sold in my life, and you will be angry about this little thing?" Boss Liu waved his hand and said very boldly.
However, Xie Bin knew that being depressed was definitely indispensable. However, these people have been through the storm for a long time, and this little depression can't help them.
Xie Bin naturally won't look at the stones he saw that day, and directly look at those he hasn't seen. However, the situation is not better than that day, whether there is jade or not, the impurities and cracks in the stone are always the theme, especially in Xie Bin's feelings, these impurities and cracks are too obvious.
Xie Bin even saw another stone that was more severely cracked, and that stone performed well except for cracking, and even saw the purple oozing out. It's a pity that with Xie Bin's ability activated, the inside of the jade cracked even more than the outside, and a good stone was ruined. Whoever wants to bet on this piece will lose all the pants that will definitely lose.
In the end, Xie Bin picked a piece of material smaller than a football before he ran out of energy. In Xie Bin's perception, this piece of material also has a small crack, but it does not affect the overall situation, and in such a small piece of material, the foundation should be good. In other words, Xie Bin's vision is also high now, and he is not willing to ask for good materials that are not pure, and he always wants to choose a very clean and good material to be satisfied.
But there are so many jadeite rough stones in the world, so many pure and high-grade materials? Seeing that Xie Bin only picked such a small stone, Boss Liu smiled and said, "Xiao Xie, how can you pick such a small piece?" Even if there is material, I'm afraid it's not worth a few dollars. ”
Xie Bin smiled: "There are also good goods in the small material, and this piece may be imperial green." ”
Old Man Zhang took the stone in Xie Bin's hand and looked at it, he was speechless for a while, and finally shook his head, "I don't understand, I really don't understand, Xiao Xie, how did you pick it?" ”
Xie Bin didn't know what to say, how to say it? This stone is like a donkey's and eggs, it doesn't show anything, and Xie Bin doesn't know what kind of skin this field is, how to explain it?
Seeing Xie Bin's embarrassed face, Old Man Zhang thought that Xie Bin was unwilling to reveal his know-how, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just asking, haha, the young man is better than us old man now." ”
Xie Bin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Xie Bin can be very casual with others, but Xie Bin is always more respectful to these old men, no matter what, people are elders, especially when he thinks of his grandfather, Xie Bin is even more reluctant to deal with them with the same set when setting up a stall.
The stone is relatively small, and it can be wiped with your hands, looking at Xie Bin's steady arm, Old Man Zhang nodded while watching, "Young people are not simple, these hands can't be practiced without five or six years of experience." ”
Xie Bin hurriedly explained: "Elder Zhang, this is not the experience of cutting stones, but I practiced it when I was carving, and you also know that the wrist and arm strength of carving are very strong. As for the stone cutting, this is only the third time for me. Xie Bin was in a hurry to explain, because he was really afraid that others would misunderstand that he was pretending to be tender and bluffing. In this line of work, you have good eyesight and everyone respects you, but you are obviously a veteran but pretending to be a novice to fool people, so that everyone knows that although you are not excluded, people will not like you. If he really left such an impression, Xie Bin's reputation would be really stinky.
After listening to Xie Bin's explanation, Old Man Zhang suddenly realized, "No wonder, you are the carver there?" ”
Xie Bin hurriedly corrected, "Old Zhang, I don't play jade carving, I play bamboo and wood carving." ”
"Bamboo and wood carving, that one is more difficult, the young man is good," Old Man Zhang sighed, back and forth is very powerful, really good praise Xie Bin, it seems that he really likes Xie Bin. It is said that people always like to respect themselves more than the younger generation, who know how to be polite and capable. It's Xie Bin, when he meets those very sensible children, he can't help but praise a few words, this has nothing to do with feelings, it seems to be an instinct, just like it, there is no other reason. Of course, sometimes it is inevitable that there is a bit of a habit of being a good teacher.
As the skin of the stone rubbed away, a trace of green mist appeared inside the stone, and it rose. This is a stone, and it only cost 10,000 to take it down. Boss Zhang thought about making Xie Bin bleed, who knew that he picked such a small stone, so that he himself was embarrassed to open his mouth, let alone in front of Old Man Zhang.
As soon as the stone opened a small window, you could see the green mist, Xie Bin shone it with a flashlight, but it was not very transparent, and even a little black. Giving the stone to Old Man Zhang, Xie Bin asked, "Old Zhang, what is this?" Dry green? Xie Bin himself felt that it shouldn't be, although this piece of material was a little rough under the perception of the ability, it was unconventional, and it felt similar to the oil green species, but it was not exactly the same. But it shouldn't feel that way, right? It's just that Xie Bin himself hasn't seen much material after all, so he asked Old Man Zhang about it.
"It should be Mocui," Old Man Zhang put down the flashlight and said with a smile: "Xiao Xie's vision has nothing to say, it has definitely risen, this piece of material just can't be made into a bracelet, and it can be earned by making pendants and ornaments, the water is good, the color is very uniform, Xiao Xie, sell it to me for 80,000 yuan." ”
Xie Bin was about to agree, but Boss Liu on the side hurriedly spoke: "Brother Zhang, Uncle Zhang, don't rob me, I didn't catch it last time, and I will definitely not let it slip away again this time," he said and quickly took Xie Bin's hand: "Ninety thousand yuan, Brother Xie, how about it?" It's not easy for my brother to find a good piece of material. ”
Xie Bin looked at Old Man Zhang in embarrassment, and Old Man Zhang nodded with a smile: "Xiao Liu, don't cry poor, you are also a rich man, do you care about such little material?" ”
Boss Liu hurriedly smiled: "You don't know that you don't know, you may not be able to buy materials if you have money, don't look at me There are a lot of good materials here, but they have been bought by others, and I can't compete with others, so I can only make a cheap difference." ”
"Haha, this is also, rich people really may not be able to buy good materials, this piece of material is good, although it is only Mocui, but the planting water is very sufficient, and there is no trace of white cotton, it is very clean, if the master of your family carves it by hand, it will add a lot of color." Old Man Zhang said with a smile, but the meaning of this was to let Boss Liu increase the price again.
Boss Liu is also a ghost elf, so he can't hear it, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, then 100,000, make up a whole number, Xiao Xie, how about it?" ”
Xie Bin nodded, "Elder Zhang said so, if I shirk it again, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the elder?" Now, Brother Liu, this stone is yours, but don't forget to leave me a few photos after unlocking it, I really haven't seen Mocui. ”
"Well said, well said." Such a small condition that is not a condition, Boss Liu will naturally not refuse.
exchanged mobile phone numbers with Mr. Zhang again, and Xie Bin left Boss Liu. Although 100,000 yuan is not a lot of money for Xie Bin now, no matter how small it is, it is money. Isn't 100,000 yuan a lot of money?
Actually, don't look at the 180,000 yuan in the hands of rich people is not a lot of money, but they will never give you away in vain, even when doing business, how much should be how much, and do not give up what you should strive for. Maybe they are very generous when they do charity, throwing millions or tens of millions away, but they will never give even a dollar to a poor person.
Xie Bin, a little rich man, has not yet reached the point where he does not use 100,000 yuan as money. It is said that a few days ago, Xie Bin only had 300,000 in his body. If you push it forward for another two months, Xie Bin won't even be able to take out a hundred thousand.
Xie Bin returned to the hotel to pack up and prepare to leave. After all, there is no good wool on the street, and Xie Bin can't get into those private warehouses, as for the wool from Boss Liu, Xie Bin has seen it almost again, and it is also not outstanding, so Xie Bin decided to go back to the island city, digest his experience in the past few days, calm down and calm down his still somewhat excited mood, in addition, it is best to go back to catch up with Li Xiaojun to solve the stone.
In other words, Xie Bin himself didn't look at this piece of material very carefully at the time, but he took a general look, and the outside was all ice seeds, but as for the glass materials inside, it was inferred by Li Xiaojun and Boss Liu based on experience. After all, under the irradiation of a strong flashlight, the halo of different materials is also different, and the transparency and color of the water are also different.
But Xie Bin didn't have this experience, so he could only wait until he went back to Li Xiaojun's processing plant to observe. In fact, what Xie Bin cares about most is the glass in the material.
The material of the glass seed seemed to give Xie Bin a completely different feeling from the material of the base, as if it was already a completely different substance, and his ability felt very strange in the glass seed material. Therefore, Xie Bin has to study it no matter what.
In the past, Xie Bin also thought that no matter how scarce the material of the glass seed was, he could catch it with his ability. But now Xie Bin doesn't think so, after seeing so many materials, Xie Bin has also encountered such a small piece of glass material, which is only a little bigger than an egg.
And more jadeite rough stones, all with a variety of flaws, it is difficult to satisfy Xie Bin.
Speaking of which, if Xie Bin has such a powerful ability, and he has to compete with others for those ordinary materials, even Xie Bin himself is a little embarrassed, this is completely unequal two people gambling on stones. When I was a child, Grandpa Xie Bin once said something to the effect that people can't take all the benefits, otherwise God will punish them.
Xie Bin had always been unimpressed before, but it wasn't until he got the ability that Xie Bin vaguely understood. Indeed, if Xie Bin used his ability to plunder frantically, who would be able to stop him? But what the outcome would be, no one knows. The old man said that "people were watching yesterday", and said that "it is not that the time has not yet come", etc., these words may be a little superstitious, but they are not necessarily unreasonable.
Looking at everything in this world, nothing has ever been able to last forever. Xie Bin still has some awe in his heart for the unknown things in this world. If nothing else, just talk about his abilities, can anyone explain the situation for him?
When he arrived at the station, Xie Bin wanted to go back to the island city directly, but he bought a ticket to Nandu. Perhaps it was the antique market in Nandu that left a deep impression on Xie Bin, and Xie Bin always wanted to go there to have fun. When he came, time was tight, Xie Bin just walked around roughly and didn't take a good look.
Now that he has an opportunity, Xie Bin naturally won't miss it. Maybe it's because he was born in an antique street, so he was interested in those antique markets. Even if you don't buy anything, just walking around there twice will be a very nice enjoyment.
After getting off the bus in Nandu, Xie Bin found a hotel to live in, but he was not in a hurry to go to Chaotian Palace, but first found a restaurant to eat. When you arrive in Nandu, if you want to eat, Lion Bridge Food Street is a must-go.
It is said that Nandu cuisine has always called itself Jingsu cuisine, and the chef calls himself Jingsu Gang. And this Jingsu cuisine is indeed unique, especially combined with the slower pace of life of the people of Nandu, the art of eating in Nandu also has its own unique taste.
Xie Bin took a few photos in front of the "Ninety-Nine" lion archway, after all, after a while, how can you do it without leaving a souvenir? I found an antique store and walked in, asked for a hibiscus crucian carp, two cold dishes, and ate it slowly.
I have to say that these famous dishes naturally have their own unique taste, in addition to the special technology, the chefs also have a very good grasp of the heat, at least Xie Bin is not up to this level.
Xie Bin's dishes are all home-cooked, which is completely different from these famous dishes with complex craftsmanship. However, Xie Bin felt that if he was given some time, he could make such a dish. It is said that all kinds of recipes are everywhere on the Internet now, as long as you are willing to do it, it is still very simple to learn it. And Xie Bin has another advantage compared to ordinary people, that is, his knife skills are very good. For example, some carvings in those dishes are simply a piece of cake under Xie Bin, and those chefs who have been carved for many years are not necessarily better than Xie Bin. As long as Xie Bin is willing, he can make a table of dishes into flowers. It's just that Xie Bin didn't have that mind before, and he didn't have that time.
