Chapter 14: The Basement

"It's okay, I like these flowers and plants too, just right." Ximen Jinlian was busy laughing and said, "Uncle Zhuo, I heard that you have a basement here, take me to see it!" "Everything else can be done, but this basement is definitely the key to her buying a house.

"Oh?" Uncle Zhuo was a little surprised, she actually wanted a basement?

"Uncle Zhuo, I forgot to mention, Miss Simon also plays with gambling stones, so she also wants a basement to store wool or cut stones or something, for the same purpose as you, so I introduced her to look at the house." Lin Xuanlan smiled busily.

"Gambling stones?" Uncle Zhuo muttered in a low voice, but secretly said in his heart, "No wonder! Then his heart moved, and he asked, "I heard in a trance today, yesterday there was a girl who cut out a piece of glass in Lao Zhou's shop, which is a bright green jade?" Could it be Miss Simon? ”

"You only know that the glass is green?" Lin Xuanlan shook her head and smiled, "Jin Lian cut out another piece of golden silk red ...... today."

"Golden Silk Red Fei?" Uncle Zhuo suddenly stopped and asked, "What kind of red, how about the water?" "This color and water species are directly related to the price of jadeite.

"It's a very pure bright red, like the morning glow!" Lin Xuanlan explained, "Needless to say, the water head is the glass species, and the distribution of gold filaments is evenly proportioned and impeccable. ”

Uncle Zhuo looked at Ximen Jinlian's gaze and suddenly looked a little strange, and Ximen Jinlian smiled curtly: "I'm just lucky, the time I cut it out, I thought it was cut down - isn't that golden wire an impurity?" ”

"You can figure it out, the gold wire is an impurity?" Uncle Zhuo smiled rarely, then sighed again and asked, "How big?" ”

"It's the size of half a basketball, enough for three pairs of bracelets." Lin Xuanlan explained, "It's really a good thing, although it is not polished, but the bright red color is really dazzling." ”

"You didn't make a bid to buy it?" Uncle Zhuo seemed a little curious and asked puzzled.

"I'm not selling that!" Ximen Jinlian interjected with a smile, "I have sold two pairs of bracelets, and I want to keep the remaining pair for myself to wear." ”

"If it's really as Xuanlan said, such a pair of bracelets is only worth hundreds of millions, and it's not a show on the hand." Uncle Zhuo sighed softly as he spoke.

Gambling stones are like this, they got rich overnight, and it is no wonder that Simon Jinlian can boast of buying his house without owing a penny. With such a pair of bracelets, she can buy several houses like his, and she really doesn't need to owe money.

And the trading of gambling stones is all on-site transactions, and there is no credit, so it makes sense that she has money.

While the three of them were talking, Uncle Zhuo had already taken Ximen Jinlian to the entrance of the basement, and the entrance to the basement was actually under the stairs.

There is no decoration in the basement, the ceiling is equipped with bright fluorescent lamps, the walls are all heavy bricks, and the floor is also paved with square bricks. Ximen Jinlian walked in and looked at it slightly, the place was very large, with fifty or sixty square meters, and what made her even more pleased was that there was a row of tools for calcing stones, small calcifying machines, various models of grinding machines, and breaking machines that could be moved manually.

A large workbench is placed next to the wall, with two plastic boxes, working lamps, etc., Ximen Jinlian walked over and opened the plastic box to see, as expected, there are rows of various carving tools, all used to process jadeite products.

Next to the workbench, there was even a large safe embedded in the wall, all prepared for calcing and processing jadeite - this basement was solid enough, and there was only one entrance, and it was still under the stairs, which was considered secret, no wonder she didn't see it just now.

But the precious jadeite still needs to be put in the safe to be safe, so the safe is also a must-have, and this Uncle Zhuo is still very thoughtful.

"Miss Simon, if you can't use these things, you can resell them to Xuanlan at a low price, and he will definitely use them anyway." Uncle Zhuo smiled indifferently.

"Well, I think I'll probably need it too!" Ximen Jinlian said, while taking a carving knife from the workbench, playing carefully, there is a feeling of eagerness in my heart, I learned the technique of carving stones when I was a child, if it can be used to carve jadeite, from now on, what kind of jewelry I want, it is not easy to come by, even if the jadeite jewelry processed and carved by others is perfect, after all, it is not as intimate as my own.

"Uncle Zhuo, I am not dissatisfied with this house, you can make a price!" Ximen Jinlian said bluntly, since she came to buy a house, she didn't need overseas Chinese affection.

"Twenty-eight million!" Uncle Zhuo smiled bitterly, although he was reluctant, but since he had already sat down to negotiate the price, there was nothing he could do about it, not to mention, if he didn't sell the house, what else could he do?

In the early years, gambling stones did make some money, but he has always been a cautious person, so he has not been able to make any big fortunes, not to mention, gambling stones and gambling stones - a gambling word, winning and losing are average, this is only for ordinary gamblers, and gambling stones are ten bets and nine losses.

Those who can make a fortune are those with top luck and eyesight! After starting a family, he almost didn't gamble much, relying on exquisite jadeite carving technology, processing jadeite products for some jewelry companies, and also made a lot of money, plus occasionally exchanged some antiques. If it weren't for this accident, there would be no need to worry about eating rich and prosperous until you get old.

Ximen Jinlian nodded, twenty-eight million is indeed not expensive, especially this house is very suitable for her requirements, especially the basement. Moreover, a pair of gold silk red jade bracelets are worth 80 million, and that piece of gold silk red jade is enough for her to squander for a while.

What she desperately needs now is not money, but a secret space of her own, where she can try her hand at carving stones, is the craft that has been abandoned for many years still there? She needed a secret space to store her superb jadeite, which was big enough to drive everyone crazy.

And this basement just meets all her requirements. Even she has considered that there is no need in the future, and it is absolutely not appropriate to cut stones, especially some superb jadeite, which is too eye-catching.

But if she doesn't cut the stone, how will her jadeite be sold in the future? Lin Xuanlan naturally didn't care about spending money to buy some jadeite materials, and even Ximen Jinlian secretly thought that she could transfer it to him at a low price that was twenty percent lower than the market price - but the Lin family seemed to have some problems with cash flow......

Xiangfeng Jewelry Company? And Chen Chen, the jade merchant of Hong Kong's Sidley Jewelry Company? It's all something that can be considered, but that's not enough.
