Chapter 12: I Want to Be Like You
Li Shi looked at the information, was stunned for a second, the corners of his mouth couldn't help hooking, and he replied by typing: "No, I've graduated for several years, but I've been reviewing my college courses recently." ”
"Ah, how did you think of reviewing this."
After chatting with Chen Qiuye for a few words, his former colleague Li Guiming sent a message.
"How's it going, have you found a job, why are you still in the mood to read at home?"
Li Shi replied: "I haven't looked for a job yet, let's rest for a while, what about you, have you found a new job?" ”
Li Guiming: "No, I'm going back to my hometown, where are you now, haven't you had lunch yet, don't you come out to eat hot pot?" ”
Li Shi originally wanted to eat casually at noon and continue to study in the afternoon, but when he saw that Li Guiming said that he was leaving Tanzhou and returning to his hometown, he did not refuse and asked, "Where to eat?" I hit the past. ”
"Xiaolongkan."
Soon, Li Guiming sent a location, and Li Shi called an online car-hailing car and went to the Xiaolongkan Old Hot Pot Wuyi Square Store.
When I saw Li Guiming again, I found that he had changed a lot in just a few days, and the whole person looked a little gloomy, sitting by the window, looking outside in a daze.
"What's wrong, depressed, how do I feel like you're thin." Li Shi sat down in the opposite position and joked.
Li Guiming retracted his gaze and said with a little surprise: "My eyesight is good, I'm losing weight, and I've lost a pound and a half." ”
One and a half pounds, you have to eat more than two pounds in a meal.
Li Shi didn't complain about him, and asked, "Why do you want to go back to your hometown?" ”
"I used to stay in this city for love, but then I got divorced, and I didn't leave because I got used to work, and now my job is gone, so I have nothing to be nostalgic for." Li Guiming said with emotion.
Li Shishi listened to him say this: "It seems that you have a story, but it's good to go back to your hometown." ”
Li Guiming said with a smile: "It's good, my parents are also old, I should go back to inherit the family property." ”
Li Shi: ?
He suddenly remembered Li Guiming's usual consumption that far exceeded his salary, including his car that cost hundreds of thousands, and thought, could it be that this is still a hidden rich second generation?
Xiaolongkan is a hot pot in the mountain city, characterized by fresh and spicy, accustomed to Hunan cuisine, spicy Li Shi is not afraid, but he is a little unaccustomed to eating too "numb", Li Guiming's taste is similar to him, so the two of them ordered the bottom of the spicy pot, and there are few peppercorns.
Li Guiming didn't drive, so he asked for a few beers.
Eating hot pot and talking nonsense.
"Brother, have you been in contact with Wei Shulan recently?" After three rounds of drinking, when the food was almost finished, Li Guiming suddenly asked.
Li Shi ate a plump and juicy fat cow and replied, "No, why did you suddenly talk about her?" ”
Li Guiming put down his chopsticks and said with an inexplicable expression: "She blocked my WeChat, didn't she just chat with her in the middle of the night, and she didn't have any other ideas, as for it...... Damn, women are really visual animals, but they think Lao Tzu is ugly. ”
Li Shi was surprised, feeling that he had almost eaten, and put down his chopsticks: "What, you have been planning against her for a long time?" ”
Li Guiming may have drunk a few more glasses of wine, and he was more profligate than usual: "Hey, don't you think Wei Shulan is actually quite good-looking, and that figure, thin waist and big belly, is really fucking energetic, to be honest, if I have a brother like you, you see that I don't sleep......"
The rest of the words were not spoken.
But when he said this, his eyes shone like a pair of wolf's eyes.
Li Shi sighed in his heart, sure enough, people's hearts are the most difficult to guess, and after getting along with Li Guiming for two years, he never thought that he would hide his lust from Wei Shulan, the female boss, and it seemed to be a long time.
Wei Shulan's appearance couldn't help but appear in his mind, and he had to admit that woman was indeed the leader in the slightly fat world.
Full of flesh, but the place where it should be thin is very thin, this kind of figure has a strong temptation for men.
He had to admit it, and he included himself.
After eating a hot pot for two hours, Li Guiming drank three bottles of beer, a little drunk, and when he came out of the restaurant, Li Shi called a taxi for him.
Li Shi only drank one bottle himself, and he still has a study plan today and knows how to control himself.
As soon as I got home, my mobile phone rang suddenly, it was an unfamiliar number in Shanghai, and I suddenly remembered that the headquarters of Dejia Auction Company was in Shanghai, and I hurriedly connected.
Five minutes later, Li Shi hung up the phone, pressed his excitement, took the tablet and opened the mailbox, and sure enough, there was an unread email from Dejia Auction House, which said that he was very interested in the collection that Li Shi sent for auction, and asked if it was convenient to contact.
"The email was sent an hour ago, and they didn't contact me for an hour, so they took the initiative to call, and sure enough, as long as the things are good enough, they are the ones who are in a hurry!" Li Shimei thought about it.
Zhou Yajuan, the senior business manager of the jewelry department of Dejia Auction Company, who just called, and after confirming the authenticity of the email, the other party immediately expressed the hope that they could let their experts appraise the bracelet as soon as possible.
Li Shi agreed, and chose the former in the two options of sending things to Hucheng and waiting for them to come to Tanzhou.
After reading the email, after comparing the number of the contact on the email with the number he had just called, he opened WeChat and passed Zhou Yajuan's friend application.
"Mr. Li, if it's convenient now, can we go through the video? Let's let our experts first identify the jade bracelet through the video. ”
As soon as the friend passed, the other party immediately sent a message.
Li Shi thought about it, came to the bedroom, looked left and right, and felt that it was okay to appear in the space of the desk, so he agreed to the video.
After the video was connected, a middle-aged woman in professional clothes appeared in the camera, with short hair and a mediocre appearance, explaining that she was Zhou Yajuan who had been on the phone before.
She also introduced Li Shi to He Yiwei, a senior expert in jade and jade identification who was sitting next to her, a middle-aged man in his thirties.
According to He Yiwei's request, Li Shi constantly adjusted the angle of the mobile phone camera, so that the other party could identify, and it could be seen that this appraiser was a person who really liked jadeite, and he was very emotional when he saw such a level of high goods, and he said that it could be used as the finale of this auction!
Li Shi himself is much more indifferent, he secretly uses screen recording to keep the entire video process.
hung up the video, Zhou Yajuan took the initiative to communicate with him on WeChat with a lot of details, including no fees in the early stage, 3% tax deduction for the offspring of the transaction, 10% commission, 1% for insurance premiums and other expenses, and no more fees for the rest.
As for the appraisal, starting price, and mark-up range, it is necessary to negotiate when the consignment auction contract is signed in person.
Li Shi immediately bought a high-speed rail ticket from Tanzhou to Hucheng at half past four in the afternoon, and arrived at nine o'clock in the evening.
When he went out, he put the safe in the black suitcase he bought in college, but the safe was empty, only an empty jewelry box, bracelet and wrench, wrapped directly in the prepared cotton, placed in the backpack, and carried it on his chest.
Along the way, Li Shi didn't study anymore, playing with his mobile phone on the surface, but in fact, he was observing the surroundings to ensure the safety of the two jadeites in his bag.
At ten o'clock in the evening, I arrived at the Jin Jiang Hotel in the HP District of Shanghai, which is more than 800 meters away from the ICC where the headquarters of Dejia Auction Company is located, and it only takes ten minutes to walk.
slept for one night, and at nine o'clock the next morning, Li Shi did not contact in advance, and directly came to the art center of ICC Dejia Auction Company with a safe, looked for the front desk, and notified Zhou Yajuan.
The young lady at the front desk seems to be very knowledgeable, and when she calls, she doesn't forget to stare at the jade wrench on his left thumb.
