Chapter 32: The Scramble
"What, eight thousand pieces?" Although Purple Scale's voice was not loud, many people around heard it. I couldn't help but look towards the purple scales.
"Hey, isn't that the stone that the fat man chose just now?"
"Yes, how did he buy that stone, Chen Laodu has already said that it will not be green, how can he still buy it?"
"I just refused to let Chen Lao help him choose stones, and now he actually picks up the stones that Chen Lao has identified, is there really something wrong with him?"
"He won't be specifically against Chen Lao, right?"
............
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. These people's words naturally fell on Old Man Chen's ears, and his face became even more gloomy. Regardless of whether the purple scales were intentional or not, Old Man Chen held a grudge against the purple scales.
"Why is it so expensive?" Purple Scale asked the teller. Eight thousand yuan, Purple Scale doesn't have so much money, and it is not easy to find a piece of top-grade jadeite, if you want to give it up like this, it will really be a big loss.
"The rough stones in this area range from 1,000 to 10,000 yuan, and the price is determined by the size of the stones. Your area is relatively large, you can compare, eight thousand is already very reasonable. The teller patiently explained.
Hearing the teller's explanation, Purple Scale realized that this store was one of the best in the area, and the price was naturally higher. Before, the black monkey directly pulled the purple scales to this area, and he didn't look at the price of this area at all.
But this is not the time to think about this, you have to find a way to scrape together enough money. Otherwise, you can only watch the cooked duck fly.
"Oh, then don't worry, I'll borrow some money from a friend first!" Purple Scale was a little helpless, but it was definitely impossible for Purple Scale to give up. Now we can only see who to borrow money from.
Xiao Lulu has given herself a lot of money recently, it is estimated that there is not much left, and she is not embarrassed to ask her again, Zilu is still ready to pay Xiao Lulu back after she has money, how can she be embarrassed to ask her again.
The only thing left is Mao Mao and Xiao Yu, Mao Mao's dress is very ordinary, not like the kind of rich lord.
As for Lin Xiaoyu, judging from the energy of accompanying her shopping, this ** is particularly rich. Well, then call Lin Xiaoyu to borrow it, and she is a cultivator, so there is nothing uneasy about coming to this kind of place alone.
Zi Yan took out her mobile phone and prepared to call Lin Xiaoyu and ask her to send the money. Unexpectedly, before it was dialed out, the fat man ran back again just now.
"What about my stone, girl, I chose it for a long time before I chose it, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't open it. The fat man went straight to the place where the rough stone was made, and found that the rough stone was no longer there.
After searching around, he found that Purple Scale was already holding the stone at the counter and ready to pay.
The fat man hurriedly ran to Purple Scales and blocked Purple Scales, who was about to call, "Brother, this stone is my choice, can you give it back to me?"
Purple Scales was happy when he heard it, I didn't expect the fat man to be so good, you chose it well, but you have already lost it, Old Man Chen chose so many stones, and he didn't say that those stones were his.
"Didn't you lose it? I chose it after you lost it, and now it's my choice. Purple Scale said softly.
The fat man was speechless for a while, yes, he has chosen, but there are many people who have chosen, and now the stone is in whose hands, who can say that the stone is his choice.
"Brother, otherwise, the selling price of this stone is eight thousand, I will give you ten thousand, how about you transfer the stone to me, you don't have to do anything, just earn two thousand yuan, it's not bad!" the fat man thought for a while and said to Purple Scales.
Purple Scale shook her head, "I just want to open it myself, I don't want to change hands." ”
"Twenty thousand, how about I give you twenty thousand?" the fat man continued.
Purple Scale still shook his head, just kidding, such a big emerald jadeite, without any processing, is tens of millions, and the price of the finished product is higher, 20,000 yuan I want to buy, unless Purple Scale's head is kicked by a donkey.
"Thirty thousand?"
Purple Scale continued to shake her head.
"Fifty thousand?"
Still shaking his head.
The fat man gritted his teeth, "One hundred thousand, this is my highest price." ”
Purple Scale still shook his head, but he was curious why the fat man had to buy this stone, he couldn't see the jade inside. "I said you didn't want it just now, why do you want it now?"
Listening to Purple Scale's inquiry, the fat man said with some annoyance, "I originally came to choose a stone to play, and it took me a long time to choose this stone, but Chen Lao said that it would not be green, and I was angry for a while, so I threw the stone." ”
The fat man paused and continued, "But I'm here to play, and I'm here to have fun, not to have to open jade." Later, I was still thinking about the stone, and I felt sorry for not opening it. I said, brother, how about you just give it to me?"
Hearing that the fat man let himself give up the stone again, Purple Scale shook his head firmly.
Purple Scales didn't want to give up the stone, and the fat man was also a little helpless, "If you don't let it, forget it, you just want to see how to unravel this stone, then you can solve the stone on the spot after you buy it, so it's always okay." ”
"Okay, I didn't plan to move this big stone back, if the jade is opened, I'm going to sell it on the spot for money!" said Zi Yan half-jokingly, of course he has no opinion, when he solves the stone himself, he can't help but let others see it.
"But I'm still short of money, and if I have to call my friend and ask him to send the money, it may take a while. Purple Scales explained to the fat man.
As soon as Purple Scale finished speaking, he suddenly had a plan in his mind, and said to the fat man again, "Fatty, don't you want to see me untie this stone! Otherwise, you can lend me 5,000 yuan first, and when my friend brings the money, how about I pay you back?"
The fat man listened to Purple Scale's words, and felt that it made sense, he didn't lack that money, he just wanted to untie the stone.
Just as the fat man was about to agree, a voice interrupted.
"Little brother, can you lend me this stone again?" At some point, Old Man Chen had already come to the vicinity of Purple Scales and asked Purple Scales.
Although Old Man Chen said very calmly, Purple Scale could feel the hostility in his eyes, and besides, Purple Scale hadn't paid yet, and the stone didn't belong to him yet, so if he gave it to others, he wouldn't pay it back to himself, and he would have no place to reason.
Purple Scale shook his head slightly, he didn't know how this old man Chen was hostile to him, but it was definitely not okay to give him the stone, "I'm sorry, I don't want to give the stone to anyone until I unlock the original stone." ”
"Young man, sell me a face to the old man, and show me again!" Old man Chen spoke toughly, with a slight threat.
It's a pity that Purple Scale doesn't eat this set, and Purple Scale doesn't know what Old Man Chen's background is, so let others want to give him face. Purple Scale just knows that if others are good to him, he will treat them with courtesy, and if others threaten him, then he doesn't care who he is.
"Is your face very valuable, don't borrow it!" Old Man Chen dared to threaten himself, but of course Zi Liang was unhappy, and he refused directly.
Old man Chen didn't expect that Purple Scale would not give him face at all, "Good, good, good, it's really terrifying." I don't know how to respect the old man at all!"
Old Man Chen said three good words in a row, and those who knew him knew that Old Man Chen was already angry.
"You haven't paid for this stone yet, now this stone is still from this store, teller, I'm going to buy this stone, I'll pay for it right away." Old man Chen said to the teller in charge of this area.
The people around didn't expect that Old Man Chen would buy this stone, especially the people who had been following Old Man Chen before, and they felt even more strange. Didn't he have already identified it before, and said that it would not be green? Could it be that he just wanted to teach this kid a lesson, so he snatched his stone and bought it.
The rules in the store, everyone understands, basically there will be no situation where a few people grab a stone, let alone grab the stone that others want to buy, after all, no one can be 100% sure that jade can be opened in the stone. Rushing to buy will only hurt the harmony.
Originally, there were many people around who paid attention to this place, but now there are more onlookers. Some of the people who came later did not understand the situation and kept asking the people who came first.
"What's wrong with them, how do they want that rough stone, is there really green in it?"
"Who knows, but the young man insists on buying it, and the fat man wants to pay 100,000 yuan, and he doesn't want to!"
"What, 100,000?
"Chen Lao just wanted to borrow a stone to see, that young man actually didn't give Chen Lao face, he was going to be unlucky!" some people gloated.
"Old Chen is also a little inauthentic, and he actually wants to rush to buy that stone. "There are still some people who are not afraid of Old Man Chen, and boldly say that Old Man Chen is not.
The teller was a little embarrassed, this was the stone chosen by Purple Scales, and it was supposed to be bought by Purple Scales, but Purple Scales couldn't pay the money now. The teller couldn't help but look at the purple scales, and everyone could see the helplessness of the teller.
Zi Liang didn't expect Old Man Chen to be so shameless, before the fat man wanted this stone, he was bidding to transfer it, but this Old Man Chen wanted to find a teller directly and wanted to buy it. Compared with the fat man, Purple Scale felt that the fat man was really a good person.
"Who said I wouldn't buy it, and when my friend sent me the money, I would pay it immediately! I'm old, but I don't have any morals at all, and I deserve to be respected by others?"
Since he had offended this shameless old man Chen, Purple Scales was even more ruthless.
"Hmph, it's none of your business what virtue I have, I'm going to buy it now, can you pay now? If your friend doesn't come for ten days and a half months, won't you let the store sell it?" Old man Chen has lived for such an old age, and this bit of eloquence is still there.
Purple Scales ignored Old Man Chen, and instead looked at the fat man, "I said fatty, do you want to lend me money or not, give me a quasi-word!"
The fat man was going to borrow it before, but now he is embarrassed, his father has been helped by Old Man Chen, so he should respect Old Man Chen more here. If he lent money to Purple Scales, wouldn't that be against Old Man Chen?
The fat man didn't answer for a long time, and Zi Liang thought of the fat man's attitude towards Old Man Chen before, knowing that most of them were out of play, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, did he really want to give it to others?
Old man Chen was very satisfied when he saw that the fat man did not agree, and once again aggressively said, "Boy, if you can't pay the money, don't make trouble here, this is not a place for a poor person like you to come." ”
However, as soon as Old Man Chen's words fell, a nice but discordant voice immediately sounded.
"Who said he was poor, how much money, I will help him pay!"
