Li Tianbao looked at the two brothers of the new stone, and then immediately got up and took Lin Meiru's hand, and said in a low voice: "Can't you save some face for me in front of my new friends!" Sit down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lin Meiru raised her eyebrows with a smile and said, "Li Tianbao, are you also afraid?" ”

After Lin Meiru finished speaking, she didn't tease Li Tianbao but did it next to him, and put the small suitcase in her hand in front of Li Tianbao and said: "Take it, I know that you are short of money, the two shops are open, and I don't know how you live!" ”

"Okay, I won't let you say it!" Although Li Tianbao was not angry, seeing that Lin Meiru was so understanding today, he still asked with a smile: "If you didn't have to be fast Jinbian, I would have received at least tens of millions of gold for a meal." Is there any intention to be so good to me today? ”

Lin Meiru glared at Li Tianbao and was about to scold, Li Tianbao was naturally prepared in advance, so she covered her mouth and said, "Okay, I'm kidding you." ”

Lin Meiru pulled Li Tianbao's arm away, and then said, "Okay, you guys drink bar, I'm tired and go back to sleep after a day." ”

After Li Tianbao heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Lin Meiru, who was about to get up, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll let you come to see something." ”

After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he put the colored stone in his hand that was fished out of the pickle jar and put it in front of Lin Meiru and said, "Help me see what this thing is?" ”

Lin Meiru only saw the gem at a glance, her eyes really lit up, and she hurriedly asked Li Tianbao, "Where did you get this thing from?" ”

"Of course I bought it, but it still fell from the sky." Li Tianbao said.

"How much?" Lin Meiru said.

"A thousand yuan, or my two friends helped me pad it." Li Tianbao said and smiled at the big man and the fat dun brothers.

Lin Meiru picked up the stone and took a closer look, and then said, "Li Tianbao, how did your good luck come to this point?" ”

After Li Tianbao heard this, he pouted and said: "I also said that if it weren't for you women, I would have caught up with Bill Gates." "Mona Lisa" was brought back to France by Lisa, and the gold was put to Zhang Jiaqi to make a gold plaque, can I be like this. ”

After Lin Meiru heard this, she was really moved in her heart, and he hurriedly said: "Don't talk about that, Xiaobao, you missed it again this time, do you know what this thing is?" ”

"Of course I missed it, I called you here to test whether you know the quality of this thing?" Li Tianbao naturally didn't want to show his timidity in front of the fat dun and the tall brothers, so he said that.

Lin Meiru glared at Li Tianbao, but she didn't debunk him, but said, "Have you ever heard of 'opal'?" ”

"Opal" Li Tianbao tried to recall all the names of gemstones he knew, but he couldn't dig out those two words. That's why he raised his head and said, "Of course I know, but my two brothers definitely don't know, so you better introduce the two of them, right?" ”

After Lin Meiru heard this, she stretched out her hand and twisted it vigorously on Li Tianbao's arm, and then said in a low voice: "If you don't pretend to be forced to die, right?" ”

Li Tianbao endured it and didn't scream, but said in a low voice: "Don't pinch, it hurts me to death." ”

Lin Meiru let go this time, and then introduced Opal to Li Tianbao. Under her introduction, Li Tianbao added another gemstone variety to his mind that he had never heard of.

Opal is called opal in English, which means "the beauty of gemstones", and the Shanghainese people call the opal "Yuehua Stone", and the Cantonese people call it "Shining Mountain Cloud".

On a piece of "opal stone", people can see the splendor of ruby flames, the mysterious color spots of amethyst, and the blue of the emerald ocean, such beauty is a unique flame, which is a unique gemstone, and it is colorful and natural, beautiful.

In Europe, "opals" were discovered as early as the Roman Empire, and the prices were extremely high at that time. According to European archives, Noni, the senator of the Senate, had a very beautiful opal stone, which he loved very much, and the ruler at the time, Antony, told him to show it to the fullest, otherwise he would have to be exiled, and as a result, Noni would rather go to exile than give the opal stone to the ruler.

What motivates people to look for opals under such conditions? Why do many people think that opals are the most beautiful and attractive of all gemstones? The answer lies in the fact that its beauty is unique. Good opals produce a flaming appearance that has only been found in a very small number of substances and not in other gemstones, and has aroused interest and intoxication since ancient times. This flame-like phenomenon caused by the diffraction of light is called color change. This is the identifying characteristic of opal, and it is also its main attraction as a gemstone.

After Lin Meiru finished speaking, she asked Li Tianbao, "Can you understand?" ”

Li Tianbao pursed his lips and said, "What's wrong with this, but if I were that Noni, I wouldn't be exiled because of a stone, it's too stupid." ”

After hearing this, Lin Meiru shook her head helplessly and said: "People sometimes treat things they like like like this, let alone being exiled, even if they lose their lives, they are not willing to give up something. ”

The only thing Li Tianbao is interested in now is only two things, the first is whether the piece in his hand is "opal". The second is that if this thing is an "opal", then it is naturally a matter of value.

"And what is the connection between that "opal" you are talking about and me? Li Tianbao asked.

Lin Meiru showed a smile and said, "That's right, the reason why you said you missed it is because you are indeed 'opal'." ”

Li Tianbao had actually guessed this result, but it wasn't until Lin Meiru said it herself that he became happy, and hurriedly asked, "Then how much can this thing be worth?" ”

"I haven't told you how many levels of opals are, why are you in a hurry?" Lin Meiru looked at Li Tianbao, who was surnamed Fen, and said: "Opals are divided into Debolai Opal, Cuibolai Opal, and the original Opal.

Debolet Opal and Trebora Opal glue very few thin real opals to a black backing stone, making the opals darker and brighter (mimicking the expensive black opals). The advantage of buying Deborah Opal and Trebora Opal is the cheap price. But after all, the quality of the original opal is completely different, and buying the original opal can also be called a long-term investment.

There are also varieties of original opals, which can basically be divided into four types1, the royal family of black opals, because of their form and rarity, so the price is usually very stable. Black opals are also the highest quality opals in the world.

2. Sparkling opals are little known as the sister gemstones of black opals, but they have the same beautiful color. Because silica is thinly wrapped around iron ore, the whole opal contains a lot of iron ore weight, so the price per carat of sparkling opal is also cheaper than black opal. Savvy merchants sell sparkling opals in carats and try to leave as much iron ore on the back of the opal as possible to add weight when cutting. Because it is based on iron ore, sparkle opals are harder than other opals.

3. The embryonic body hue of white opal like milk is relatively ordinary, and such embryo hue usually makes the color contrast of opal not obvious, but I have also seen white opals with very bright colors.

4. Crystal opal Crystal opal above all kinds of opal have translucent or transparent embryo body tones, if the crystal opal has a beautiful color, it is very expensive, such as "crystal black opal". ”

After Lin Meiru finished speaking, Li Tianbao immediately said: "Then you mean that my piece is a white opal?" ”

"That's right! A white opal indeed. Lin Meiru said with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Tianbao was a little disappointed and said: "The white opal that ranks third is definitely not worth much, it is really empty!" What the is this leaking! ”

Lin Meiru patted Li Tianbao on the shoulder, then looked at no one around, and said, "Don't underestimate the white opal, the conservative price of this thing is also worth 1.8 million, of course you missed it." ”

Li Tianbao immediately became happy after hearing this, and thought, "A thousand yuan is worth a million, this price is compared to Keke, it must be simple." ”

"It's mine, I just bought it." After Lin Meiru finished speaking, she picked up the stone and turned around and walked towards the door. Li Tianbao hurriedly went out to chase, but just walked to the door, but pretended to be full of arms with the proprietress Xu Feng.

"Boss Li, are you chasing that girl?" Xu Feng said coquettishly.

Li Tianbao naturally couldn't say that Lin Meiru took the opal that was added to the million just now, so he could only stop and say, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Returning to the private room and sitting down, Li Tianbao hurriedly said, "That Sister Xu, why did your husband go?" Can I meet him? ”

"He, didn't you just say it, he is probably still on the stall now, but this should be back soon." After Xu Feng finished speaking, he hurriedly said, "Hey, by the way, what is Mr. Li looking for that wreck?" ”

Li Tianbao smiled and said, "Peer, it's okay to chat." Since it's not there, it's better for another day. After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he counted the food money and left Xu Feng 1,500 yuan, which made Xu Feng very grateful and sent Li Tianbao and the three of them out of the door.

Walking out of Xu Feng's small restaurant, Li Tianbao asked Gao and Fat Dun, "Where are you two going?" Li Tianbao asked.

"To the house we rented?" Tall road.

After Li Tianbao heard this, he said, "Where can I send you back?" ”

After saying that, Li Tianbao sent the two brothers back to the rental house, and after getting out of the car, Li Tianbao saw that it was a small hotel on the Fourth Ring Road, and Li Tianbao was so familiar with this place that he was so familiar with it, because he had lived in the basement of this hotel a few months ago.

"So you live here, if you had come earlier, we might have known each other earlier." Li Tianbao said with some emotion.

"Haha, it's not too late to know each other now, in the future, Brother Bao can speak if he has something, and the two of us brothers are absolutely duty-bound." After the eldest brother finished speaking, he got out of the car and walked towards the hotel with his brother Fat Dun.

Li Tianbao remembered something, hurriedly took out 20,000 yuan from the suitcase, stopped the two brothers after getting out of the car, and then sent the money to the eldest brother, saying, "I almost forgot to return the money to the two of you just now." ”
