Chapter 118: Playing with the Eldest Lady with Stones
"Rough stones?" Ao Jing's eyes widened in surprise.
Anyone who has read the novel knows what the original stone is, and the phrase "a knife is poor and a knife is rich" is the best portrayal of a stone gambler.
Ao Jing has read many novels that describe gambling stones, but she has never touched them herself. The eldest lady suddenly invited her to look at the rough stone together, and she actually had a thought about whether she would be gagged.
"My recent design has reached a bottleneck, and they said that there is a batch of freight to Yuesheng Trading Company, and many people in the industry will go to see it. I also wanted to see if there was anything that inspired me. If I go alone, my grandfather doesn't agree, so I wonder if I can go with you. ”
"The two of us? Will it also be unsafe? ”
"There are also two offspring in the village." The eldest lady leaned back on the sofa, her lazy expression was slightly disgusted, "They don't know anything, they can't understand what they can talk to, it's so difficult to communicate." ”
As soon as Ao Jing heard it, he understood that he was actually acting as a translator and lubricant.
She called and asked Mr. Zhan. Mr. Zhan, who was meeting old friends in the capital, immediately said that if Ao Jing went, he would agree to let his granddaughter follow, and he would arrange two more bodyguards to accompany him.
Speaking of Zhan's Village, the two young people will also go over together, Mr. Zhan laughed and said that the two boys will take it with them, and let them move the stones. I don't ask them to help much, but take them to see it.
From Mr. Zhan's words, Ao Jing heard some subtext, it is estimated that Mr. Zhan has other businesses to transfer back, which can be regarded as starting to cultivate his own people.
Now that the old gentleman has agreed, she really wants to see and see, and if she guesses correctly, she can achieve financial freedom earlier.
Before leaving, she said to Ao Hai, but she didn't say too much detail, only that the eldest lady asked her to go to see a batch of jewelry raw materials together.
Ao Hai doesn't know anything about these at all, he only knows what kind of designer the eldest lady is, specializing in jewelry, and her sister will go if she wants to go, anyway, school hasn't started yet, even if she goes to play.
Yuesheng Trade focuses on import and export business, and they don't have to touch the rough stone.
But some time ago, their boss went to Ruili to discuss business, and happened to meet a jade mine boss. The boss knew that there were more jade and jade jewelry on the southeast coast, and the demand was relatively large, but he had no channels himself, so he cooperated with the boss of Yuesheng Trading, and Yuesheng Trade organized the venue and personnel, and he provided the rough stones to be transported to the southeast coast.
On the way, Miss Zhan gave Ao Jing a detailed introduction to the background of Xia Yuesheng, and especially reminded her and the two offspring in the village not to have conflicts with others.
When they arrived at Yuesheng's warehouse, they found that it was surrounded by security.
"Miss Zhan, please come in, we have a larger scale this time, starting from the first warehouse on the left, there are seven warehouses at a time, and the fourth one in the middle is where the stone cutter is located, where there is also a waste area."
After a rough introduction, the staff sent them a few tags. The name of Miss Zhan's family company is written on it.
The rough stone in the first warehouse is rough and looks like ordinary stone on the side of the road.
The two boys in Zhan Jiacun muttered in their mouths, and even their expressions were revealed.
Ao Jing glanced at Miss Zhan, and then glared at the two boys.
"You two be quiet, this is not our fishing village, beware of provoking others if you don't pay attention."
Ao Jing quietly motioned for the two of them to take a good look around, and sure enough, not far away, there were several big men with big shoulders and round waists staring at them with red eyebrows and green eyes.
The two boys immediately coaxed, had a lot of rules, and followed behind Ao Jing step by step.
Ao Jing doesn't know how to gamble on stones, looking at Miss Zhan's appearance, she is also a pure looker.
The eldest lady didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "I don't bet on stones, I usually buy the materials from others directly." I'm just making money for design and labor. ”
However, although she is not good at gambling stones, she still knows the basic knowledge, and she popularized the basic knowledge of gambling stones to Ao Jing according to the book, as well as the most basic way to identify stones, and the eldest lady went to see the stone cutting.
"Ao Jing, what should we do? Follow them over and watch them cut stones? ”
"Or else? Do you have the money to buy it? ”
Ao Jing pointed to the price list next to the stone mill: "This is the price of one kilogram, how can a stone cost several catties, I doubt that I have any stone value." ”
She shrugged, looked left and right for a moment, and pulled the two boys to the outside of the third warehouse.
"The stones here are fifty dollars a piece, can you try your luck?"
"Fifty?" One of them accidentally yelled out, and then quickly covered his mouth, "No, no, no, buy a stone for fifty yuan, and my grandma will have to beat me to death when I turn around." ”
"The poor ghost also came to learn how to gamble on stones."
A disgusted word came from behind him, and the three of them turned their heads to see that the standard configuration of an uncle and a beautiful girl. And that was what the beautiful girl said, she was still covering her mouth and nose when she spoke, as if the air around Ao Jing and the three of them was smelly.
Ao Jing quickly grabbed the guy who wanted to get angry, and glanced at the other party, "Auntie, do we have any money to do with you?" Your money is not the big brother's, as if you are rich. ”
When the woman heard Ao Jing's words, her face turned crooked.
Call her "Auntie", call this fat "big brother" next to her? Who will be buried?
The fat uncle next to the woman was also amused, and he patted the woman's hand holding his arm, "Okay, people are still children, what are you messing with them." ”
Anyone who can come in here has a bit of background. The woman next to him is a troublemaker, and he's not stupid.
To put it mildly, the vast majority of the poor are weaker, and this little girl should not be underestimated to be able to respond so quickly to fight back.
Ao Jing didn't want to cause trouble here, and after saying this, he pulled the two boys around him to continue chatting about the topic just now.
"Fifty dollars is fine to try your luck, in case you're lucky. But at most, it's only one bet, and it's not something we're supposed to play after all. It's okay to come and feel it, it's not necessary to be too involved. I've heard people say that gambling on stones is a knife of being poor, a knife of wealth, and a knife of going down to wear linen. ”
The fat uncle listened to her with great interest for a while, and said hello.
"Little girl, do you know this?"
"I don't understand." Ao Jing simply admitted that he was a layman, "If you want to say that I still know a little about fossils or something, I really don't know about these jade jade." ”
As he was talking, Miss Zhan came over.
"What are you talking about, so lively?"
Miss Zhan rarely showed a smiling face, looking at the small box carried by the bodyguard, it was estimated that she had bought the original stone she wanted.
"I told them if they wanted to try their luck. It's too expensive to buy in the field, and the stones here cost fifty yuan a piece seems to be okay. ”
Miss Zhan glanced at the two young men behind her and laughed.
