Hot recommendation:、

In the evening, when the family was having dinner at Zhixinyuan, Lin Xiaoliang talked about it at the dinner table.

"You really asked for that much money?" Luo Yufang asked with wide eyes.

Lin Xiao smiled obediently, "Grandma, that's not much, the same diamond necklace, she can't buy it without a million dollars in her own country, you must know that the exchange rate between the dollar and the yuan is 1:9, she has taken advantage of it." ”

"But that's a foreigner." Luo Yufang muttered: "If people are not happy, will they come to the door to find trouble?" ”

"Grandma, have you really forgotten that the rank of major general on your eldest grandson's head is for nothing?" Shen Chi opened his mouth and said: "If you want me to say that Wanwan is still less, why can you sell ten million things, why only one million?" ”

Lin Xiaoliang was a little speechless, she was indeed not as ruthless as Shen Chi in this regard.

"I can't do it." Luo Yufang shook her head and said, "If something happens, we will definitely not be able to come to foreigners." ”

In the hearts of the older generation, although they also hate foreigners, because of the oppression they have suffered, they also have a natural fear of foreigners, and they put themselves below foreigners.

Lin Xiaoliang and Shen Chi glanced at each other, giving up the idea of changing the stubborn thinking of their elders.

This incident is just an episode in life for Lin Xiaoliang. Of the 1.7 million yuan she earned, she kept 700,000 yuan for herself, and the remaining 1 million was given to Shen Chi. Recently, he was thinking about getting involved in the real estate business, guessing that he should have some tight funds on hand, and she had long wanted to support it, and this money came at the right time.

After a while, Lin Xiaoliang found that things didn't seem to be as trivial as she thought. Seeing off another foreign guest who came to buy diamond jewelry, Lin Xiaoliang breathed a sigh of relief.

Basically, these foreigners are here for diamond jewelry, anyway, the product explanations in the store are in Chinese, and they can't read it. And Lin Xiaoliang has no intention of selling to them, the things in her store are very expensive at the current consumption level in China, but for foreigners......

She had to wait for 20 years before she considered doing business as a foreigner.

Although she has never been abroad, she heard a friend who often travels to and from the United States say in her last life that the prices in the United States are much cheaper than those in China.

A meal of KFC costs 30 yuan in China, but it only costs 4 US dollars in the United States, don't look at the price according to the exchange rate, there seems to be no big difference, but the monthly salary in China is about 5,000 yuan, and the monthly salary in the United States is 5,000 US dollars.

In later generations, college students in the United States could buy a nice sports car as long as they worked for two months during the summer, but in China, a sports car is likely to be the savings of a middle-class family for three years.

"I've heard that foreigners often come to you to buy diamond necklaces?" On this day, a Mrs. Yang who knew asked her in the store.

"There's such a thing." Lin Xiaoyan smiled faintly: "Mrs. Yang is also interested in diamond necklaces?" ”

Without waiting for the other party to answer, she said, "But personally, I don't recommend you to choose this kind of jewelry." ”

"Why?" Mrs. Yang is indeed interested in diamond jewelry, after all, it is recognized that the things used by foreigners are better than those used in China, and people will inevitably have some follow-up and comparison psychology.

"Let's be honest with you. Don't look at the expensive things in my store, but because the cost is not small, the income is actually very limited. Now I'm counting on diamond jewelry to make money. Lin Xiaoliang said bluntly about what he had done: "The diamond necklaces sold to foreigners are tens of thousands at worst, and millions of dollars are expensive." If I put it on the outside and sell it to my own people, I would definitely not put it at such a high price, but I don't want to cheapen foreigners. You must know that the price I sell to foreigners is already nearly ten times cheaper than that in their country, and if I sell it to them at the price of our country, it will be no different from giving it away. ”

Mrs. Yang understands in seconds that if the price is marked, it can't vary from person to person, but ......

"Then you sold it to me privately?" She whispered.

"That's not going to happen." Lin Xiaoliang shook his head and said: "Those foreigners are not stupid, it would be bad if they heard the wind and came to me to settle accounts, Mrs. Yang, don't embarrass me." ”

Seeing that she was a little unhappy, Lin Xiaoliang sighed and said: "In fact, diamonds are not necessarily stronger than other jewelry, to be honest, I personally don't particularly appreciate this kind of jewelry." ”

"How?" Mrs. Yang is interested, knowing that this Mrs. Shen is now recognized as a master jeweler, who can design and produce those beautiful and extraordinary jewelry, and her views on jewelry can naturally be valued by others.

"There are four criteria for determining the quality of a diamond: color, clarity, carat and cut. And the most admired jewelry in our country is jade, which also pays attention to color, size and workmanship. ”

But compared with the simplicity of the diamond, the latter is undoubtedly more complicated, the jade in the jade is the key to see the color, transparency, evenness, shape, knocking, in popular terms is the water species, size and carving; Nephrite jade depends on the color, texture, transparency, luster, clarity and weight, and nephrite has two major advantages, one is that it is inert to cold and hot, worn closely, not cold in winter, not hot in summer; Second, it is not corroded by acid and alkali, so it can be buried underground for thousands of years. ”

"All a person needs to understand diamonds is a comprehensive theoretical book and identification tools, but it takes decades of experience to understand jade. The depth of jade's cultural heritage can be seen from this. ”

"Moreover, jade is the five virtues: benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage, and purity."

"The beauty of a diamond lies in its hardness, clarity and brightness, while the beauty of jade lies in its delicacy, warmth, subtlety and elegance."

"The beauty of diamonds is dazzling, and the beauty of jade is subtle, just like the history of our country, which flows smoothly and endures, and is the most suitable jewelry for ourselves."

"All kinds of jewelry have all kinds of jewelry, but undoubtedly, the best one is the one that suits you best."

Thinking about the phrase "the best for yourself is the best", Mrs. Yang's eyes lit up, "Then Mrs. Shen, what kind of jewelry do you think I am suitable for?" ”

Lin Xiaowan chuckled, as an older generation, she has always disagreed with the custom of buying a diamond ring when she got married.

Diamonds are not without merit, but Chinese jade is no worse than diamonds. Although China does not have as many tricks as foreign countries in terms of love and marriage, isn't there still a saying about love tokens in ancient times? Why do you have to study foreigners?

Although the diamond is good, she privately thinks that the most suitable for Chinese is still jade.

In later generations, when someone got married, others would usually inquire about the wedding ring that the family bought a few carats, and to be honest, she was a little annoyed to hear it.

In later generations, China's wedding banquets became more and more extravagant year by year, and it was because of this comparison psychology that I was afraid that others would say that it was bad. Many people will ask, "How much is a table for a banquet?" "How much is the budget for wedding photos? "How much jewelry did you buy for the bride?" And so on, listening to the annoyance of God, it was originally a blessing thing, which made many people afraid of marriage.

Finding that the thinking was a little crooked, Lin Xiaoliang sighed, in later generations, diamonds were popular in China, and jadeite was also worth a lot of money because of the predictable depletion of Myanmar mines, only nephrite, which has been accompanied by historical development, the market has been tepid.

Lin Xiaoliang didn't know that her words were quickly known by the upper class through Mrs. Yang's mouth, some people despised and some disdained, but more of them agreed, and some people of the older generation had a good impression of her.

Her mood was still a little low, but she received a call from Zhu Huihui saying that she was diagnosed with pregnancy, and Lin Xiaoyan's mood suddenly cleared.

"Did you call Xiaoli?" Lin Xiaoliang asked happily.

"Hit ......" Zhu Huihui's tone suddenly lowered, "Xiao Liang, Xiao Li said that she was going to get married?" ”

"Get married!?" Lin Xiaoliang was first surprised, and then happy, "When did she have a love interest?" Why didn't you say it in the letter? "Yang Xiaoli can get out of the shadow of the previous relationship, which is a very happy thing.

"Not what you think." Zhu Huihui said dryly: "It's a man who met on a blind date, and they have only known each other for less than three months." ”

Lin Xiaoliang was stunned for a while, and then said: "Actually, you don't have to be free to love, as long as the two of you can live a solid life, it's not bad." As long as Yang Xiaoli is willing to let go, even if she still can't forget Su Cheng, when she has her own children, she will always be able to live a good life.

"It's not!" Zhu Huihui exhaled angrily: "I think she can't resist the pressure of her elders to get married!" You don't know, if it weren't for her mom interjecting on the phone, she wouldn't have told us about her getting married. ”

Not going to tell them you're going to get married?

Lin Xiaoliang was a little stunned, she didn't doubt Yang Xiaoli's attitude towards the friendship between the three of them, marriage was such an important matter, she would never forget to call them anyway. She didn't scream, which only showed that she didn't care about this wedding at all.

"Su Cheng, that bastard, he himself found a new object, but he harmed Xiaoli like this!" Zhu Huihui's angry and sad voice rang on the phone.

"Su Cheng has a new object?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise.

She didn't expect that Zhu Huihui was still paying attention to Su Cheng.

"Hmm." Zhu Huihui said indignantly: "The last time I met him and a woman shopping on the street, the two held hands and acted very intimately. That woman is more beautiful than Xiaoli, looking at the clothes, the family conditions should be very good. ”

"At the beginning, Su Cheng wanted to die or live, but it didn't turn out that he got a new love so soon!" She said with a grudge.

Lin Xiaoliang didn't mind this matter as much as Zhu Huihui, and it was certain that she felt worthless for Yang Xiaoli, but what she thought was that her original guess had come true.

In terms of emotional matters, men really have to be more open than women, but Yang Xiaoli suffered.

Hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoliang hesitated and dialed Yang Xiaoli's phone.

"I knew you were going to call." Not long after, Yang Xiaoli's laughing voice rang on the phone.

Lin Xiaoyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the situation was not as bad as she imagined.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, the reason why I didn't let you and Huihui come over to attend the wedding was because I didn't plan to make a big deal in the first place, just get a certificate and invite two close relatives to have a meal." Without waiting for her to ask, 1152 ( )
