"How was it? Did you sleep well last night?" Wu Facai shook hands with Zhang Jiefang enthusiastically.
Zhang Jiefang looked at his son's sneaky smile and laughed dryly, "Not bad, not bad!"
"The weather here is neither too hot nor too cold. I was worried that you wouldn't be used to it!" Wu Facai laughed, "It seems that your complexion is good! How about we find a place to have some fun tonight? "
"Ugh … * cough *, the kids are here. Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Jiefang's worst fears came true.
"Let the kids play by themselves. Let's go massage them!" Wu Facai obviously didn't take Zhang Bin seriously.
Zhang Jiefang tried to signal Wu Facai with his eyes. Wu Facai then understood and whispered to Zhang Jiefang, "Are you a henpecked husband?"
"Hehe, hehe!" Zhang Jiefang laughed dryly.
"Let's pick the stones first!" Wu Facai knew that this topic couldn't be continued, so he quickly got down to business.
"Let's go. Boss Wu, can you lower the price a little?" Zhang Jiefang said as he walked, "Isn't 500 a little too expensive?"
"It's not expensive!" Wu Facai smiled bitterly and said, "Currently, the raw stones that come to Tengchong are all directly transported from the mines in Myanmar through private connections. It's considered smuggling in Myanmar. When they are transported to China, they have to declare to the customs and be registered as legal imports. Therefore, the transportation price is very high. The transportation cost of a kilogram of uncut stones has increased from a few yuan to 200 yuan now. Including the transportation cost and the 33% tariff, do you think 500 is expensive? "
"The cost isn't more than 300 yuan. Isn't your profit too high?" Zhang Jiefang laughed, "How about 400 yuan?"
"400 won't do. We are old friends. How about this? 450 yuan. How about that?" Wu Facai said with difficulty.
"Okay! 450 yuan it is. Let's pick the stones! "Zhang Jiefang nodded.
"You want to gamble on stones too?" Lan Ling didn't speak along the way. She was like a well-behaved child. Zhang Jiefang even suspected that Yang Ming had a girlfriend who was underage. But after Zhang Bin's explanation, he believed that Lan Ling was an adult.
Yang Ming had the same thought. Lan Ling was too cute. No one would treat her as a sixteen-year-old girl at first glance.
When Zhang Jiefang walked in front of her, Lan Ling asked softly.
"Why do you say that?" Yang Ming was curious about Lan Ling's thoughts.
"You asked so many questions in the car. Could it be that you were just curious?" Lan Ling smiled. "I heard that you can get rich overnight!"
"I don't really understand. Let's take a look first." There was no need for Yang Ming to hide anything from Lan Ling.
"I can help you try. However, I can't give you too much. If I give you too much, it won't be accurate," Lan Ling whispered.
"You?" Yang Ming suddenly remembered Lan Ling's ability — the strange sixth sense! Although it couldn't be compared to his own special ability, it was still much stronger than an ordinary person's!
"Mm." Lan Ling nodded proudly as if she was showing off something!
"Right, I forgot about your ability." Yang Ming nodded too. However, he seemed to have thought of something and said softly, "Lan Ling, don't tell others about your ability. The fewer people who know about it, the better!"
"Besides my father, only you know about it," Lan Ling rolled her eyes at Yang Ming. "Do you think I'm a fool? I can tell others about it!"
"Mm, I'm afraid that some people with ulterior motives would harm you," Yang Ming said worriedly.
"So, you're worried about me?" Lan Ling seemed to be very happy after hearing Yang Ming's words.
"Yes. Of course, I'm worried about you. If you died, what would happen to the voodoo in my body? Wouldn't I be a bachelor for the rest of my life? "Yang Ming smiled.
"Idiot!" Lan Ling looked at Yang Ming and said coquettishly.
"Idiot? How am I an idiot? "Yang Ming was confused.
"I'm not telling you!" Lan Ling smiled mischievously.
Yang Ming didn't know what Lan Ling meant. However, since she wasn't willing to say, Yang Ming didn't ask further. Yang Ming's feelings towards Lan Ling were very strange. It could be said that it was sex before love. Of course, it was more of a pity.
Lan Ling's appearance was too cute. Anyone who saw her would feel pity for her!
"Do you want eyes?" Yang Ming and a few others just arrived at the distribution center of the warehouse. A few locals surrounded them.
"Eyes?" Yang Ming was stunned. "What eyes?"
"Hehe, jargon!" Wu Facai who wasn't far away explained, "The so-called eyes are people who identify jades. They are more experienced and earn commission!"
Zhang Jiefang hired a person to be an eye. However, this kind of thing was just for psychological comfort. The eyes judged based on their feelings. If they were accurate, they would have done it themselves. Why would they need to be someone else's eye?
In Wu Facai's company, there were a few warehouses that were the size of a classroom. Basically, the uncut stones were piled up on the floor. Beside each pile of uncut stones was a basin of water and a table lamp.
According to Zhang Jiefang, these were used to identify the stones for the customers. Next to the wall of the warehouse, there was a row of iron filing cabinets. The cabinets were also used to store raw stones. The quality of the raw stones inside were slightly better.
Besides Zhang Jiefang, there was a group of people who were selecting raw stones. This group of people had their own eyes. At this moment, they had already selected about seventy to eighty raw stones.
Zhang Jiefang didn't hold back. He pulled the newly hired eyes and started to work.
Lan Ling wanted to take action, but she was stopped by Yang Ming. He shook his head slightly at her. Lan Ling immediately understood. Yang Ming was worried that she would be in the limelight.
"When we leave later, just pick up one or two pieces. Don't attract attention." Yang Ming didn't mind being in the limelight, but he was afraid that his woman would attract unnecessary trouble.
Lan Ling nodded. She looked at Yang Ming with eyes full of love. In this world, there was finally someone who cared about her sincerely. Lan Ling was very happy. It seemed that Yang Ming already had her in his heart. This made Lan Ling very happy. Lan Ling had an impulse to tell Yang Ming the truth, but she was afraid that if she told him, Yang Ming wouldn't like her anymore … Ai, this is so contradictory!
"Ah! Jade! It's the heart of a jade! "Another group of people who were gambling on jade suddenly shouted," We're rich! We're rich! "
Zhang Jiefang immediately looked at them with envy. Gambling on jade was like this. If you were lucky, you could get a few million in an instant. But it was useless to be envious. You couldn't snatch it back from someone else!
Wu Facai had seen this kind of thing many times. He didn't put it in his heart. He had an indifferent expression. He earned a steady amount of money. He wasn't envious of these people gambling on jade! If he was envious, he could just gamble on his own. Why would he sell the uncut stones?
"Is jade very valuable?" Yang Ming looked at the other party's excited expression and asked a very simple question!
"Yes, of course it's valuable!" Zhang Jiefang said with envy, "His piece could be sold for more than two million! With this piece of stone, not only did he get his capital back, but he could also make a lot of money! This is the price without polishing it. If he further processed it, he could at least make a pair of bracelets and two jade pendants. The price could go up to five million! "
Yang Ming listened and took a deep breath! A piece of broken stone could be sold for five million! What kind of concept was this? Marx had a famous saying: If a capitalist had fifty percent profit, he would take risks. If he had a hundred percent profit, he would dare to trample all the laws of the world. If he had a three hundred percent profit, he would dare to risk the gallows!
But comparing five hundred pieces to five million, it was a ten thousand percent profit! No wonder so many people were interested in gambling on stones!
"Then isn't this line of business very profitable?" Yang Ming was surprised.
"Yes, but in this pile of stones, it would be good if there was a piece of jade!" Wu Facai laughed, "If jade was so easy to come out, I would just throw the stones away and keep them for myself!"
Yang Ming nodded. He remembered the general appearance of the jade and the difference between it and other jade. He started to scan the pile of uncut stones!
Wu Facai was right. Jade was very rare. Among these uncut stones, there was a lot of pure jade. But Yang Ming didn't know much about this line of business. At this moment, he had made up his mind to go to the bookstore to buy some related books. He would study it at night!
Suddenly, Yang Ming saw a piece of jade in the pile of uncut stones! Yes, it was jade!
But this piece of jade wasn't as big as the one just now. It was only one third of the size. Also, the quality wasn't as good! But even so, Yang Ming was satisfied.
Such a small piece, even if it wasn't as valuable as the big one, but according to what Zhang Jiefang said, it could be made into one or two jade pendants. It was worth at least a few hundred thousand!
Thinking about this, Yang Ming was excited! In his life, this was the first time he felt that wealth was so close to him! Everything seemed to be at his fingertips!
Yang Ming pretended to be calm and went to the pile of "waste" that had been picked up by people.
