Chu Chen touched his head and sneered: "How is this possible, didn't I have no chance to say it just now." ”

"I don't dare!" Zhao Wan said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xiaochen, you are already a billionaire at a young age, and you are so handsome, you are completely the prince charming in the minds of thousands of girls!" By the way, where is your girlfriend from, and when did she bring it to me, and I'll help you check it? ”

"My girlfriend is still studying in England and won't be able to graduate until next year, so I'll definitely bring her to meet you then." Chu Chen replied.

"In a foreign country!" Zhao Wan frowned and said, "Then haven't you seen each other for a long time?" And it's not a big deal for boyfriends and girlfriends to be separated from each other for a long time, I advise you to be cautious! ”

Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be any problem with this, the relationship between us is quite good." ”

Zhao Wan said: "Xiaochen, your attitude is not right, if you really like each other, you still have to pay attention to this aspect, what if your girlfriend is lonely and wants to be accompanied?" There are a lot of men who talk flatteringly now, and some people just like to take advantage of it. I think it's not like you don't have any money, so you can just let her go back to China now. ”

"This is not good! After all, I've been reading for so many years, and I'm about to get my graduation certificate, so it's a pity to give up like this, right? Chu Chen scratched his head, he was really worried about what his cousin said, but it was definitely unrealistic for Wu Ke to give up his studies.

Zhang Yanbin next to him asked, "Xiao Chu, which school is your girlfriend from?" If you're not well-known, I can help you figure it out. ”

Chu Chen replied: "She is studying at Oxford University now. ”

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Chu Chen's answer, Zhang Yanbin shook his head helplessly: "It turns out that your girlfriend is still a talented girl." But I can't help this school. ”

Chu Chen smiled, not surprised by this.

At this time. Liu Sizhe said, "Brother Chen, if you are worried. You can go directly, anyway, it won't be long before you take a plane now. ”

Chu Chen thought about it, he went back to Beijing to deal with the affairs of the store, and asked Zhou Wenping to help him watch the decoration of the store, and then he had time to go to England.

Zhang Yanbin said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, I sue you, after you go, you must seize the opportunity and take her down completely." If you don't know, I'll give you a few tricks when you go back. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Wan raised her embroidery fist and said: "Zhang Yanbin, don't think that I don't know who you are, if you take my Xiaochen back and take it badly, believe it or not, I beat you halfway!" ”

Zhang Yanbin laughed dryly and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I just want to teach Xiao Chu some life experience, how can I take him badly?" ”

Zhao Wan snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, I put my words here." It's up to you how you do it. ……”

After that, everyone chatted for a while, and when Chu Chen was young, Zhao Wan went to the room and took out a photo album, which contained several photos of Chu Chen when he was a child.

"Xiao Chu. I didn't expect you to be so tiger-headed when you were a child. Yi Hongguo laughed.

Chu Chen smiled quite embarrassedly, it sounded good, it was a tiger's brain, and it was ugly. It's a little idiot, and he looks stupid.

At the back of the album are photos of some of the couple's friends. Everyone just flipped through two pages casually and didn't read much. However, a girl in one of the photos caught Chu Chen's attention.

Chu Chen's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Cousin, who is this girl in this photo?" ”

Zhao Wan raised her eyes and replied, "This person is my junior sister, and I met her in Xiangjiang at the beginning. Why, you won't have a crush on her, will you? ”

Hearing that he was from Xiangjiang, Chu Chen was somewhat sure of his guess, but when he heard what Zhao Wan said later, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How is it possible, I'm not the kind of man who goes to the twilight." ”

Zhao Wan smiled and joked: "Then why would you ask her, she won't be your old look, right?" ”

Chu Chen said helplessly: "Cousin, don't be joking, I don't know her, how can it be my good looks?" ”

"Then what do you ask her for?" Zhao Wan asked curiously.

Chu Chen explained the reason, and then said, "I think she is likely to be my aunt's daughter, so I have to trouble my cousin to help me ask." ”

Zhao Wan suddenly said: "That's it! Okay, I'll help you ask, but this girl went to study in Australia, and I don't have her phone, so it may take a little longer. ”

"That's no problem, I've been waiting for so many years anyway, and I'm not in a hurry." Chu Chen said.

Zhao Wan smiled: "You, how old are you, you talk so old-fashioned......"

Wan Qijun and his wife are very enthusiastic, no matter what, they have to let Chu Chen stay here for a few days, but the 25th is the day of the opening of the public market, and it will take five or six hours to drive to Pingzhou, it is definitely impossible to stay for a few days, but under the hospitality, Chu Chen still stayed here for a day.

During this period, Chu Chen originally wanted to take the jade photographed by Wan Qianjun as a gift for their newlywed, but the couple refused to say anything, and in the end Chu Chen had to give up this plan, preparing to get something suitable in the future and make up for it.

The next day, after lunch, Chu Chen and his team took Wan Qianjun's company's business car and set off for Pingzhou, and six hours later, the group set foot on the land of their destination.

Compared to Yangmei, Pingzhou is undoubtedly much larger, but it is only a town, and it belongs to the jurisdiction of the South China Sea.

If you want to say the most famous place in Pingzhou, it is Pingzhou Jade Street, which is one of the four major jade markets in Lingnan, these four jade markets, namely Yangcheng, Sihui, Pingzhou, and Yangmei, the place they just left.

Pingzhou has very convenient transportation, superior geographical location, and there are boats to and from Xiangjiang every day, which has the convenience advantage of Yangcheng and the land advantage of Sihui, and is the best place in the geographical location of the four major markets.

It is mainly engaged in jade bracelets, but it is different from Yangmei, which is mainly high-end, and there are high-end and low-grade jadeite products here, and it is the most advantageous in terms of price in the four markets.

Due to the good geographical location here, there is an endless stream of businessmen from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and other places inside and outside the province every day, and there is no restriction on outsiders, so many outsiders and Hong Kong and Macao do business here.

Merchants from Myanmar will transport the rough stones here to invest, this kind of investment is actually a small public market, almost once or twice a month there are one or two jade rough investment, sometimes four or five times, of course, to see the goods and enter the bidding, you need to rely on the membership card of the local jade association.

Therefore, if Chu Chen wants to enter the public market to see the goods and bid, he must apply for a membership card, of course, if he relies on Yihongguo's membership card, Chu Chen can also go in to see the goods and bid, but he doesn't like this.

Of course, helping Chu Chen get a membership card, even for Yi Hongguo, is a very simple matter, Wan Qijun even waved his hand, and when Chu Chen and the others arrived at the hotel, someone immediately gave Chu Chen a membership card.

It was already past eight o'clock after tidying up the salute, so everyone had a hasty dinner and went back to their respective rooms to rest. However, Zhang Yanbin said hello to everyone, saying that he went out to find his old friend, and it was not until eight or nine o'clock the next day that he returned to the hotel with a red face, which made everyone speechless.

When you come to Pingzhou, you must go to Jade Street for a stroll, and when Zhang Yanbin comes back, everyone walks in the direction of Jade Street with a smile.

Ping Chau Jade Street was founded in the mid-70s of the last century as a local jade processing factory. At that time, the surrounding area was the best in the processing technology and quality of this jade factory, so the business volume continued to increase, which not only earned considerable profits, but also cultivated a large number of technical personnel in the design, processing and production of jade.

By the time of the reform and opening up, many employees of jade factories raised their own funds and set up family-run workshops, so local self-employed people sprung up. Because the jade processing factory is good at making naked parts, it not only has good quality and good craftsmanship, but also has a low price, and it soon became famous at home and abroad, especially in the jade industry in Southeast Asia.

In this way, by the mid-80s of the last century, the Pingzhou jade market was formed, and by the mid-90s, the sales output value had increased to more than 100 million yuan.

The market in Pingzhou is indeed very lively, but the fly in the ointment is that compared with the other three markets, Pingzhou is relatively scattered, and there is still no decent centralized jade city, which restricts the better development of the jade market.

The group shuttled through the jadeite shops on the side of the street, discussing the texture characteristics of these jadeite ornaments and the process of making zuò.

And among the group, in addition to the bodyguards beside Hu Yong and Wan Qianjun, even Liu Sizhe has his own unique views on jadeite, so after walking around for a while, it can be said that everyone has their own gains.

After visiting so many shops, Chu Chen also felt that the bare parts processed locally in Pingzhou were indeed quite good.

The naked body piece is actually the "plain" body jadeite that is not carved on the surface and decorated with patterns, and the "naked body jade" in the mouth of connoisseurs.

"The Book of Rites" cloud: "Dagui is not cut, and its quality is also beautiful." ”

In fact, good jadeite is usually in the form of a "plain" body to express its natural jade beauty.

Bare jadeite, because there is no decoration on its surface, so the raw material must not have cracks, and there are no flaws. The "carved jade" seems to be exquisite, but in fact, "no locks are not flowers", and the complex patterns and patterns are often used to cover up cracks and other defects.

Compared with carved jadeite, the bare body has higher requirements for the "species" and "color" of the material itself, so the top jadeite is basically "naked". (To be continued......)
